Chapter 215 - 215: The Strange Black Cat, Sister Zhou’s Secret

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Listening to Qi Yuqiang’s statement, Li Yidao fell into contemplation.

Should he intervene?

Looking at the nearly thousand years of lifespan he had already consumed, he pondered deeply.

It wasn’t that he felt his lifespan was insufficient but rather marveled at how quickly it could be depleted.

In reality, Li Yidao didn’t mind taking action if it could make the other side feel pressured and bring an end to this battle. However… The current opponent was already so frenzied!

Who knew if they had any hidden cards?

Moreover, Li Yidao believed that the current situation between the two sides was only at the stage of friction and battle.

Even though the conflict had escalated to a fierce level, it was still confined to certain ranks of entities.

The true powerhouses hadn’t made a move yet!

For example, Elder Liang, or someone like the old man.

Putting aside how Unit 36 was handling the situation, if the enemies had truly provoked them at their doorstep, would the old man turn a blind eye?

Regardless, being fellow Chinese, sharing the same roots, when the need arose, they would naturally lend a helping hand!

Currently, there might be some grievances towards Unit 36, but…

Once individuals from other countries set foot in China, it wouldn’t be a matter of grievances anymore.

In this brief moment, Li Yidao pondered many things.

He took a deep breath.

Then, in a calm tone, he said, “Well, go back and communicate with Elder

Liang. If necessary, I can take action.”

“But, as I mentioned before, I cannot predict the consequences. You’ll have to bear all the consequences. If you think it’s acceptable, I’m okay with it.”

Upon hearing that Li Yidao was willing to intervene, Qi Yuqiang’s expression instantly brightened!

However…

When Li Yidao finished his sentence, Qi Yuqiang was momentarily stunned.

Then, he forced a wry smile.

They couldn’t afford the consequences anymore!

If things escalate, it would be fine if the other party was deterred. But if the other side truly unleashed the full force and brought in even higher-level powerhouses?

That would be a genuine disaster.Could Unit 36 withstand such consequences?

It might even lead to a large-scale war involving all organizations in the two regions! And it could escalate into a conflict between the two major forces! This was no casual matter!

In the end, Qi Yuqiang could only shake his head helplessly, realizing how naive he had been.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but deepen his appreciation for Li Yidao. It seemed… Li Yidao wasn’t just powerful; his control over the situation and his insights were truly remarkable!

The atmosphere inside the car quickly fell into silence.

Li Yidao chose to close his eyes and rest, while Qi Yuqiang refrained from speaking.

After approximately half an hour, Li Yidao, who was dozing off, sensed the vehicle coming to a stop.

Slowly opening his eyes, he realized they had reached their destination.

“Here we are. Our people will still be monitoring the surroundings of the shop as usual. If anything happens, provide immediate alerts,” Qi Yuqiang instructed as Li Yidao exited the car. “Hmm… We have limited manpower available right now. You should also be prepared on your own. If there’s real danger, head to the base outside the city. Our people will help cover your retreat.”

However, Li Yidao merely waved his hand without saying anything. Run to the base? There wouldn’t be time for that; he would have been taken out by enemies long before reaching safety.

He understood that Qi Yuqiang’s implication was they no longer had the absolute capability to ensure Li Yidao’s safety.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to protect him; as he mentioned, their manpower was indeed lacking, especially after the recent losses.

Many of their personnel had been lost just now, and they needed time to bring in reinforcements from within the organization.

Qi Yuqiang didn’t say much more and returned to the car, ready to leave.

There were many matters he still needed to attend to, as he was now considered a main force in combat with significantly enhanced abilities.

Pushing open the partially opened shop door, Li Yidao frowned. He sensed that something was amiss in the room.

What had happened inside?

As he walked in and saw the chaotic state of the shop, he involuntarily furrowed his brow.

His instinctive gaze turned towards Sister Zhou and Li Xinting’s room.

It was evident! Something had gone wrong!

Holding the bronze mirror in his left hand and a dagger in his right, he didn’t even pay attention to the prompts in his mind.

The rewards for the mission hadn’t been claimed yet.

As he slowly approached the well-lit bedroom, his expression relaxed.

However, when he saw the person walking out, he was utterly stunned.

Yang Qingyue?

“Why are you here?” Li Yidao instinctively asked as soon as he saw her.

Yang Qingyue smiled slightly. “Master asked me to come. He said I should make a trip tonight, as there’s a place here that needs my help. It seems he was right.’

“Something indeed happened,” Yang Qingyue said with a slight smile, glancing around. The implication was clear.

Whatever had occurred had been resolved because Yang Qingyue arrived, ensuring Sister Zhou and Li Xinting’s safety.

Li Yidao nodded slightly, not saying much.

Since it was arranged by the old man, there must be a purpose for Yang Qingyue’s presence.

“What happened?” Li Yidao sat on the nearby sofa, sounding somewhat fatigued.

The events of the day had been overwhelming, leaving him deeply exhausted.

Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, who seemed not to have fully recovered, exchanged a glance. Finally, Sister Zhou spoke.

“In the evening, we were just about to rest. I heard the sound of a cat, but I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just a stray cat outside. But as I got more and more tired, the cat’s cries became increasingly frequent. I was getting more and more irritated, but it felt like someone was controlling my body, and I couldn’t move at all. It was like sleep paralysis. Instinctively, I kept struggling and woke up Xinting.”

Li Xinting took over the narrative. “I was already asleep. I felt Sister Zhou’s unease, so I slowly opened my eyes. At first, I felt like there was a shadow, but I was still somewhat drowsy and couldn’t see clearly. When my brain reacted, I sat up instantly! I saw a cat, about half a meter long, standing next to Sister Zhou! It stood on its hind legs! I was terrified! I saw the cat seemed to be inhaling, and there was a faint glow flashing on Sister Zhou’s body. I wanted to scream, but at that moment, the black cat suddenly looked at me! Its dark eyes made me tremble uncontrollably! At the same time, I felt my whole body immobilized, unable even to open my mouth! I was really scared. If Qingyue hadn’t arrived in time, I… sob.”

At this point, Li Xinting burst into tears again.

Yang Qingyue walked over and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Li Yidao turned his gaze to Yang Qingyue. “When I arrived, I witnessed the scene that Xinting just described. The rest is simple; I fought the black cat. Whether it’s a pet or influenced by some consciousness, it didn’t have much combat strength and was eventually driven away by me.”

Li Yidao, after hearing everyone’s account, furrowed his brow deeply.

Who was preparing to harm Sister Zhou?

Perhaps they considered Sister Zhou just an ordinary person, so they didn’t arrange for a powerful entity. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been stopped by the amulets.

When Li Xinting described how Sister Zhou emitted light to repel the black cat’s attack, Li Yidao realized it was the effect of the amulets.

What secrets did Sister Zhou have on her body?

Why would there be mysterious entities trying to take Sister Zhou’s life?

If it were just some normal accidents, Li Yidao wouldn’t think too much about it. Even if it was related to him, he initially thought the enemy’s attack inadvertently affected Sister Zhou.

But now!

Things seemed to be more complicated!

The opponent wasn’t just trying to take Sister Zhou’s life!

It was evident they aimed to take Sister Zhou’s soul!

Such actions undoubtedly had their own motives!

Perhaps…

This was the reason the old man asked him to resolve this matter?

Li Yidao glanced deeply at Sister Zhou and said nothing more.

“You should rest well; since the enemy has already come once tonight, they won’t come a second time. We’ll figure out the rest tomorrow.”

After nodding at everyone, Li Yidao returned to his room and collapsed onto the bed, immediately falling asleep.

The depletion of mental energy and some injuries sustained during the battle had left him extremely exhausted. He needed to take advantage of this break to rest!

He could sense it.

Whether for Sister Zhou’s situation or his own, tomorrow would still be a turbulent day!
