Chapter 46 - Went Too Far

Li Xu was startled by the girl’s condition and took a few steps back.’Don’t be in such a hurry, now is when you’re closest to me.’

’I’m right near you.’

Bai Youyou suddenly raised her head and scanned her surroundings.

Her perception was extraordinarily sharp, capable of sensing even the breath behind buildings.

She found nothing suspicious around her.

Only then did she realize she had been tricked again.

’Just kidding, I was long gone.’

"Hahahaha..."

Seeing the girl who suddenly started laughing, clearly unstable, Li Xu instinctively wanted to flee.

Indeed, none of these Wing Investigators are normal.

Before long, Bai Youyou realized she was being led by the other, she calmed down.

Upon flipping the paper, she found a string of numbers that looked like a virtual number.

She dialed that number.

Meanwhile, a hundred meters away from the alley, on the rooftop of a demolished building, Xu Xiaoyou, hidden under a gray robe, leaned against the ruins, flipping a coin, calculating the timing.

The Mind Judge’s ability was even more troublesome than she imagined, admitting defeat in less than a second.

Although that unreliable guy had no willpower, she certainly didn’t expect that director of the Raven Office to keep any secrets for her.

People only believe what they’ve discovered on their own.

She purposefully visited to leave misleading false information, making them think this criminal was indeed 1.9 meters tall and male.

It was time to test what combat prowess a Three-winged Investigator had.

The phone rang at this moment.

Xu Xiaoyou picked up the telescope, lying prone, connecting the call while watching the girl in the distance.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Youyou asked.

"Investigator Bai, I promise I won’t make any more mistakes, can you stop chasing me now?"

Bai Youyou smiled slightly, a smile that was somewhat terrifying to outsiders: "Of course, if you come out and apologize to me in person, we’ll let it go."

"Are you kidding?"

Bai Youyou said coldly, "Weren’t you the one joking first?"

Xu Xiaoyou suddenly thought of something interesting, her lips curved: "Hey, Miss Bai, you’re bleeding."

Bai Youyou was taken aback, instinctively looking at her wrist.

Under the long sleeves of the white investigator uniform, an open eyeball on her arm slowly closed, threads of fresh blood oozing out, soaking into the seams of her pure white gloves...

"You’re observing me!"

"I’ve been watching you constantly these days, after all, someone has been watching me this whole time." Xu Xiaoyou chuckled softly, "That blonde girl beside you, you seem to be getting along well, chatting and laughing."

"Having a friend to talk to, that’s nice, right? I envy that, unlike me, always alone."

"You..." Bai Youyou frowned deeply, her tone turning completely cold: "What do you want."

"I can’t do anything to Investigator Bai, but making an ordinary person disappear in Nest City is quite easy."

"Like having her appear on a plate at the Fresh Meat Restaurant?"

"If you don’t want her to get hurt, you might as well give up investigating..."

Bai Youyou crushed the phone.

Electric currents danced at her fingertips, her expression dark.

She could never tolerate someone innocent getting involved because of her own matters.

Moreover, no one had ever given her a sense of being acknowledged, willing to listen patiently to her thoughts, treating her like a friend.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flickered in her eyes.

She suddenly realized something, looked up in a certain direction, and quickly locked onto the source of the flash, seeing a gray figure seemingly shrink back atop a building a hundred meters away.

"Found you."

Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, she was leaping through the slums’ buildings at terrifying speed, rushing toward the demolished building.

Xu Xiaoyou retracted behind the rubble, drenched in cold sweat:

"Damn, seems I might have overplayed."

She got up quickly, and three figures also cloaked in black robes approached her.

"Stop her for me, delay until I leave the slums, as agreed, with 2000 credit points, I’ll transfer to your accounts once I leave," Xu Xiaoyou said.

"Finally, some action!" one of the Cleaners excitedly licked his teeth, playing with a dagger in his hand. "I’ve been waiting for this moment a long time!"

"Ogre Office, pleased to serve you! Beautiful lady," another Cleaner exclaimed fervently, "Trust us, our efficiency will surely satisfy you!"

The next moment, those two Two Tier Cleaners leapt over the ruins and dashed toward the white-clad girl.

Only a small, skinny figure in a gray robe remained standing there, as if awaiting Xu Xiaoyou’s orders.

"If things go wrong, retreat immediately, and don’t ever let her see your face clearly," Xu Xiaoyou said. "Activate Moon Madness if necessary."

The small figure nodded and left with the two Cleaners in front.

Xu Xiaoyou’s expression was dark.

A Three-winged Investigator’s senses, able to lock onto her exact position hundreds of meters away through the flash of a telescope lens in an instant.

Luckily, she had prepared in advance, posting a commission on the association’s page, hiring two Two Tier Cleaners as bodyguards, just in case.

Hopefully, those two Two Tier Cleaners could buy her some time.

Not much, just enough for her to get out of the slums.

No matter how strong she is, defeating three Two Tier Cleaners instantly is impossible, right?

As for the balance, she never planned to give them that.

She didn’t think those two Two Tier Cleaners would survive against Bai Youyou.

Two scumbags who roam in the slums hunting children’s organs, she wouldn’t feel guilty if they died.

Thinking this, Xu Xiaoyou quickly retreated into the shadows.

And on the buildings below, three figures sprinted along the rooftops, constantly approaching the white-clad girl’s position.

"Out of my way, I command you to stop as a Three-winged Investigator, violating association rules, I’ll have to deal with you along with the criminal!" Bai Youyou shouted.

"Who cares about some damn investigator! I only care about money!"

The leading Two Tier Cleaner smiled madly, flinging open his gray robe, reaching inside, and suddenly throwing several blades, the cold glint flashing in the air.

"Your organs must be worth a lot, more than those brats, die!"

The white-clad girl’s face darkened, like a ghost, quickly weaving through the gaps of countless flying knives, then accelerated, swiftly passing him by with a crisp sound of bone snapping, he fell down powerlessly.

Seeing his companion fall, his neck twisted like a string, the remaining Two Tier Cleaner was intimidated.

He’d thought a Three Tier Cleaner would be strong, but never expected to be killed instantly, he hadn’t even seen how she did it!

Watching the white figure approaching, the Cleaner smiled bitterly.

This kind of opponent, blocking isn’t even possible.

"This will cost extra..."
