Chapter 65 -61 Initial 1

The longsword was gently drawn, with countless blue flames clinging to it. The faint echo of the sword’s song was audible.

Surrounding there were innumerable black flames,

directly ahead, a figure surrounded by flames stood still. White hair fluttered, and dark red glows shimmered in its eyes.

In the black firelight, the person’s face was indistinct, only twisted enormity and black smoke encircled nearby.

Step by step, I approached the figure, with tiny sparks flicking past me.

“Huh!”

Lin Fei suddenly opened his eyes.

The somewhat glaring light made him involuntarily stretch out his hand to block it.

“Did I just get distracted at a time like this?” He rubbed his forehead.

He was still standing in the same spot, and that naked South Korean woman was still lying on the ground.

“What’s your name?”

“An Caiyuan.” The woman looked steadily at Lin Fei with calm eyes. “If we work together, we can easily avoid the main attack directions of both sides, and we can both safely get through.”

“Why do you say that? Don’t we only know our own squad’s area of responsibility?”

“A squad’s area of responsibility won’t have a second squad within a certain range around it. I can control this range,” An Caiyuan slowly stood up, picking up an undergarment from the ground and began to put it on. Her movements were stiff and direct, and she didn’t mind Lin Fei, the man standing in front of her at all. Her face showed not a hint of shyness.

“Was this your plan all along?” Lin Fei asked.

“Pretty much, it went the same way last time,” An Caiyuan replied indifferently.

“How many times have you participated?” Lin Fei was taken aback.

“Fifth time.”

At home in Ping City.

Lin You stared speechlessly at the black cat sprawled over her desk.

“Silly girl is just a silly girl, even with the amplification of an energy scepter you’re still F-grade, truly weak.” The black cat yawned very human-like.

“If you call me silly girl again, I’m going to fall out with you!!”

“Then what should I call you? I don’t know your name,” the black cat said impatiently.

“Lin You. My name is Lin You.”

“Well listen up, Lin You,” the black cat said solemnly, “The situation we’re facing is very serious. Shunyan has already found me, and if I end up in his hands, both you and I will die.”

“Die? They’re not looking for me, right? What does it have to do with me?” Lin You was startled.

“Remember the supernatural effect you produced earlier?” the black cat waved its paw. “Without having made a contract with the energy scepter, do you think anyone can use that kind of powerful amplification without backlash? Right now, you and I are connected as one, if I get caught, it’s certain death for me, and if I die, you won’t survive either.”

“No way,~~~” Lin You said incredulously, “Who are you kidding?”

“I’m not kidding you,” the black cat shook its head, “if I die, because of the contract.” It stared steadily at Lin You with its black pupils.

“You will also die.”

Lin You was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.

“How do I know what you say is true? Anyway, I know nothing about you. Whatever you say, goes.”

“Proving it is easy,” the black cat said, revealing what seemed like a sly smile.

“Aren’t you a low-level member of the heretics? Now you can try contacting your superior again. They should also know about the Eternal Symbiosis Contract, you can ask them for information about it.”

“You think I don’t dare?” Lin You said disdainfully, standing up and taking out her communication phone. She dialed Ice Sister’s number directly.

After the waiting tone beeped, the call was answered on the other side.

“Hello, little You? What’s up?”

“Ice Sister, I want to ask about what an Eternal Symbiosis Contract is?”

“What’s the point of asking about this? This thing is ancient.”

“Hehe, I just stumbled upon it in the information booklet and wanted to ask.”

“Huh? That’s in there? How come I didn’t know?”

“Didn’t you say it was the latest edition?” Lin You chuckled awkwardly. The little black cat licked its paws, leaping onto Lin You’s right shoulder where it pressed its ears against the phone, shamelessly eavesdropping.

“Is that so? Well, forget it then. The Eternal Contract is something we used in our struggles against the church, by forming a life-force channel with some powerful supernatural energy cores left over, achieving the degree of power sharing. But since the human body can only tolerate a limited amount of energy, generally, those who make such contracts don’t live for long. The more often you use the power abilities, the shorter your lifespan becomes. If it hadn’t been for those bastards from the church being so strong, we wouldn’t have been forced to use this method. So, Lin You, if you get your hands on an energy core, don’t just recklessly make a contract with it, alright? It’s not something to take lightly. However, speaking of which, different energy cores have different requirements and conditions for forming a contract, and it’s not that simple,” Ice Sister said, rattling off a great deal of information like a machine gun.

However, as she continued, Lin You’s heart slowly sank.

“So that’s how it is, thanks, Ice Sister.”

“No problem, just come to me if you have any questions.”

Lin You hung up the phone with a somewhat unsightly expression.

“Don’t worry, you’re not going to die. If those with absolute talent could die so easily, our supernatural side would have been wiped out by the religious side long ago,” the black cat said, lounging on Lin You’s shoulder.

“Absolute talent? What’s that?”

“People who are naturally resistant to the backlash of energy cores are collectively known as absolute talents. The Energy Scepter is among the most powerful energy cores and, of course, falls into this category.”

“So, am I not going to have a reduced lifespan now?” Lin You asked, somewhat worried.

“Yep, but right now, we’re pretty much like psychic twins, and we’ll share any substantial sensations.”

“You’ve got to be kidding…”

“Now’s not the time to worry about that. You should be more concerned about how to deal with the people Shunyan is sending after us. The one from before only had close to F-class strength, and you couldn’t withstand it. If Shunyan himself comes over, and he’s close to D-class, then there’s really no chance,” the black cat’s tone suddenly became grave.

“D-class… Who exactly is this person chasing you, and what’s their background? Can’t we just report this heresy?” Lin You asked, puzzled.

“Report? I assure you, you’d be the first to be cleaned up by the heresy if you did. The one who made a contract with you is one of the highest energy cores called the Energy Scepter, capable of giving any absolute talent the top-level core needed to push for A-class. Did you really think you were the only absolute talent in the world?” the black cat paused, then hopped back onto the desk. With a graceful spin, it continued to explain.

“Shunyan is the leader of a small mercenary group from the Western Inner World. That’s not his original name, but no one knows his true name. As part of the ruthless Broker duo, the person we met during the day is just one of the worst members of the group. They’ve always been active in the conflicts between the supernatural and religious sides, and are quite battle-hardened. Before meeting you, all the contractors I had made contracts with died by his pursuit,” the black cat’s eyes flashed with a trace of gloom and sorrow.

“How strong is he really?” Lin You also realized the severity of the issue.

“Very strong, I’m not sure about the exact level. But so far, the strongest among my contractors reached the peak of F-class combat power, had undergone specialized training, and normal firearms posed no significant threat to him. Yet, he still died at that guy’s hand. What’s more terrifying is not his strength, but the powerful forces under his command; many F-class mercenaries obey his orders.”

“So what do we do now?” Lin You was also becoming frightened; under normal circumstances, anyone faced with such a malicious force would naturally feel fear and apprehension.

“Don’t worry, the Hua Nation Mainland has a strong resistance to foreign Inner World powerhouses, and the enforcers here won’t allow him to cause trouble. That’s also one of the reasons I fled to Hua Nation this time,” the black cat reassured. “Now that his subordinates have been discovered, it will definitely not be so easy for them to chase us here again, requiring coordination and compromises from multiple sides. Especially if he wants to continue to mix in the mercenary world afterwards.”

****************

On the highway from Qu City, the provincial capital, to Ping City, a black Audi was smoothly driving towards Ping City.

“Looks like it’s a new contractor this time,” a blond man inside the car said softly. The man was incredibly handsome, with skin as fine as jade and soft blond hair being vigorously blown backward by the wind from the rolled-down window. He was dressed in a fitted white suit with a black silk shirt underneath, and his dark red tie looked stern.

“We’ll definitely catch her this time. She got away the last two times, but with brother handling it himself this time, there’s no way it will go wrong,” said a young girl with dark red hair, chewing bubblegum in the car. The girl was glamorous and curvaceous, with deep blue eyes indicating her Western heritage. Both of them sat respectively in the driver’s and passenger’s seats.

“Perhaps,” the blond man said, affectionately ruffling the girl’s hair. “Chris, you didn’t need to come along this time. Wouldn’t it have been better to just stay and rest in Europe?”

The girl didn’t answer but simply blew a large bubble.

“Pop.” The bubble was gently burst by the blond man’s finger.

“Hey, bro~~~~” the girl’s face suddenly turned into a frown.

“Alright, alright, it’s your own fault for not answering my question,” he said.

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to be with brother,” she replied.

**************

“Bang bang….” A succession of bullets suddenly hit the grassy ground.

In the dense forest, gunfire was everywhere, along with startled shouts, moans of the wounded, and the scent of blood permeating the air.

Green grass and brown tree trunks were splattered with dark red spots.

A small squad, about ten South Koreans, each holding pistols, fired in various directions. They formed a circle, with more than ten bodies already lying on the ground. Terror was etched on every face.

“Hang in there!! We’re surrounded by our squads, reinforcements are coming soon!!” A man in camouflage shouted loudly in Korean. While his comrades provided cover, he paused his firing to reload his magazine.
