Chapter 129 Shui Li's Anxiety
Chapter 129 Shui Li's Anxiety
The atmosphere was peaceful and serene in a high-end apartment in Yuehua City.
The interior decoration is simple yet refined, clearly meticulously crafted, but the furnishings and layout are not luxurious.
Shui Li sat quietly on the sofa, flipping through a detective novel, seemingly indifferent to everything around her.
However, she would occasionally glance at the figure pacing back and forth in the room out of the corner of her eye.
Long, flaxen hair; the battle suit of a corrupted magical girl; the lines on her lower abdomen—
The evil one fell into Yao Guang.
She kept walking around the room until she finally stopped in front of Shui Li.
You seem very calm.
"Instead of waiting anxiously, we should calm down. The outcome is beyond our control." Shui Li slowly turned a page, her tone serene and nonchalant.
She would never dare to reveal any true emotions in front of the other party.
The situation had already spiraled out of her control by early this morning.
Originally, according to the plan, she was to act as the chief liaison for all the "assassins" who had been transported from the future, responsible for coordinating and arranging all their actions. This gave her enough initiative to skillfully manipulate the behavior of these assassins and create the most favorable opportunities for Teacher Noah and the others.
However, this morning, everything changed.
The evil Yao Guang, along with three other magical girls—Tian Shu, Tian Quan, and Tian Ji—suddenly arrived here.
Upon her arrival, she immediately declared command of the operation—
"By order of Lady Iroko, from this moment forward, I shall take full control of all actions against Noah."
The four "Eternal Radiance" level magical girls were indeed carrying out Yi Luoxin's orders, and Shui Li couldn't find any room for objection. So, Shui Li could only sit aside and watch helplessly as the corrupted Yao Guang arranged this operation.
The arrangement surprised Shui Li.
All the magical girls he had gathered were mobilized: four to hold Noah back, three to hold Fennel back, and the three "Eternal Shao" level magical girls, Tian Shu, Tian Quan, and Tian Ji, went directly to kill Ling Bo—who is Shen Zixin of this era.
That's too ruthless... Who sends three max-level characters to block the newbie village?
To make matters worse, Yao Guang, seemingly to demonstrate her authority or to prevent information leaks, directly ordered Shui Li to stay by her side at all times.
This severed all possibility of communication between Shui Li and Noah.
Shui Li knew very well that Yao Guang's sudden "power grab" was nothing more than a ploy to gain credit and favor. Yi Luo Xin's decision to entrust the task of "resolving Noah's problem" to her, a junior, must have aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of this councilor.
Fortunately, Yao Guang is probably unaware that she has not been brainwashed.
Otherwise, with her ability to read minds through "True Word Judgment," she could simply ask, "Do you truly submit to Lord Yi Luoxin?" upon meeting, and all her pretense would vanish.
The fact that she didn't ask suggests that in her eyes, she was merely "a nobody who had been teammates with Lady Yiluoxin and was therefore assigned such an important mission." She even showed contempt for her own abilities.
This appearance also became a disguise—who would have thought that even though the appearance had changed, the mind hadn't been brainwashed?
However, her own safety is of little concern.
The assassins have already been dispatched, but I'm trapped here and can't do anything about it.
Teacher Noah and the others were completely unaware of all this. Worse still, judging from the previous arrangements, the corrupted Yao Guang even had her own reconnaissance team—she knew perfectly well that Shen Zixin would be traveling to Guangyang City alone today, separated from Noah!
"Hmph, I knew Lady Yi Luoxin shouldn't have entrusted you with this kind of task. They've separated now, it's the perfect opportunity to strike, and you didn't even know that?"
Yao Guang looked smug when assigning tasks, which made Shui Li's heart sink.
However, when Shui Li reported to Yao Guang, she also concealed some information—namely, the existence of Fu Ping. Against an opponent like Yao Guang who could detect lies, one couldn't lie when reporting intelligence. However, it was acceptable to "omit" some information.
Hopefully... the existence of the duckweed can turn the tide...
"Hmph, still reading?"
The voice of the evil Yao Guang rang out again, interrupting Shui Li's thoughts. She walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside with some irritation.
"I'm quite curious, what exactly are you in such a hurry for?"
Shui Li closed the book and calmly said, "With the strength of Tian Shu and the other two, how could they possibly fail against a 'Budding' level fledgling? Or are you worried that you might fail against Noah and Hui Xiang?"
"I sent four weaklings to hold Noah back, just to prevent her from supporting others and ensure that we can kill this era's 'Shen Zixin'." Yao Guang turned to look at Shui Li. "After all, 'he' will become a magical girl like Noah in the future, so we must nip him in the bud."
"I just think you've gone too far." Shui Li looked up at her. "To deal with Shen Zixin of this era, one 'Eternal Shao' level is enough. You might as well have sent two people to deal with Noah."
"Hmph, how can that be?" The corrupted Yao Guang revealed a meaningful smile. "I will eliminate all the 'pillars' around Noah, so that she can experience the despair of losing everything once again. Finally, our 'Seven Council' will join forces to send her on her way."
Shui Li was extremely anxious. If it weren't for her mental composure, she probably would have immediately forced Teacher Noah to inform her in front of the corrupted Yao Guang.
But in reality, this wouldn't work—it's likely that Yao Guang stopped him the instant he tried to transmit the message. Yao Guang was, after all, at the "Eternal Radiance" level, far too far behind his own "Blooming Bud" level. Not only would he be unable to transmit the information, but his carefully constructed undercover identity would also be ruined.
She knew that all she could do now was pray.
I pray that Teacher Noah can create another miracle.
I pray that Senior Floating Duckweed and Senior Fennel can fight their way out of this desperate siege.
teacher……
Dear seniors...
Please...
You must... persevere.
Just then, Yao Guang's cell phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang with a melodious sound.
She picked up her phone, glanced at the incoming call information on the screen, and a smug smile finally appeared on her previously irritated face.
"almost……"
The voice was filled with the joy of about to taste the fruits of victory.
"...It's time for a result."
