Chapter 597: 280 Chapter Embrace
The Doll looked at the handsome young man in front of her, a delicate small face beneath her hood, revealing a smile that had been absent for far too long.
If it weren’t for that terrifying curse, such a bright and charming smile would have captured countless hearts…
‘I’ve finally seen you…’ the Doll whispered in her heart.
The last time they had met was on that farewell night. She hugged him tightly, gently kissing his earlobe.
And he, with her blessings, left Giant City to enter the wilderness on a secret mission.
However, after that, they lost all communication.
The human traitor from Heavenly Kingdom known as Mei Wu was dead, and inside the Forbidden Zone, rumors circulated that a Sixth-sense Expert had made the move, allegedly the Champion Inheritor. Some also said it was Captain Yang Chen who had acted.
But the Doll knew it must have been Li Yelai.
Only Li Yelai, with his strong curse resistance, could ignore the curse of being loved and brutally kill the traitor Mei Wu, avenging the unjust deaths of his fellow humans.
Thus, during that time, the Doll prayed for Li Yelai’s safety, while anticipating his sudden appearance before her.
However, a month passed, and she hadn’t received even the slightest bit of news about Li Yelai. He had completely lost contact within the Great Snow Mountain!
At that time, the Doll’s smile was no more.
Even though she believed in her heart that Li Yelai must still be alive, as time passed, her mood inevitably sank.
No matter how many cute emoticons appeared on the billboards, her face did not show a smile.
Like a flower withering unseen in the gloom.
It wasn’t until Li Yunyan found her, offering to write to her brother, that the radiance returned to her face.
The moment she saw Li Yelai’s reply, her anxious heart finally settled.
He was alive! He was just on a highly confidential mission. Unable to return to Giant City, unable to contact his friends.
With a brief reassurance, the Doll’s anxiety rose again.
Such secretive operations must entail immense risks and dangers.
Xiao Ye was still in danger. The Doll became somewhat impatient, but as the official captain-level powerhouse, she lacked the authority to participate in the operation.
So, when headquarters asked if she wanted to go to Border City number two to support Li Yelai, she didn’t hesitate at all.
Even after learning the astonishing information that Li Yelai was undercover and had become a Chaos Chosen, the Doll’s resolve didn’t waver.
She and her teammates, posing as a tourist group, arrived at Border City number two.
And she had been waiting here in Central Park, from dawn till dusk, terrified of missing their rendezvous.
Now, she had finally seen him.
[Miss you(☍﹏⁰)] appeared in woebegone font.
This gave Li Yelai’s heart a start.
Little Mad King observed their surroundings and then said, “Let’s go somewhere safe to talk.”
The Doll glanced at Little Mad King by Li Yelai’s side and couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Li Yelai and Little Mad King, although they had disguised their faces, were still a strikingly handsome man and beautiful woman.
Walking side by side under the sunset, they were as picturesque as a painting, resembling a couple strolling in the park.
This made the Doll feel a twinge of envy and grievance. And some inevitable doubts caused her discomfort.
But still, she suppressed her thoughts, waving to the Little Mad King in greeting.
Afterward, the trio made their way to a building resembling an office, located on the edge of Central Park.
For some reason, passersby seemed not to see the three of them enter the building. In fact, passersby didn’t seem to notice the building at all.
“Is this place safe?” Li Yelai looked around and asked.
[People nearby will be influenced by a Suggestion, subconsciously avoiding this place. We won’t have anyone approaching. There are comrades lurking nearby too φ(>ω<*)] the Doll replied.
“Comrades… How many reinforcements are here?” Little Mad King inquired.
[Selected from various branches, thirty absolutely trustworthy and powerful comrades. In addition, Moon Shadow Captain and Captain Lie Yang will come to Lead the way and join us. The total number should be forty-six (･ω･)ﾉ]
“Do they know my identity?” Li Yelai asked.
[No, currently only I and Moon Shadow Captain know. And the instructions the comrades have received are to follow my command (｀・ω・´)]
[Don’t forget, I’m also a captain ᕦ|ºᴗº|ᕤ]
The more people who know Li Yelai’s identity, the greater the risk.
It’s not that they aren’t trusted.
But if the situation changes, it’s likely that some flaws will show, possibly revealing something.
Last time, when Li Yelai was attacked by Champion Team One, they believed Li Yelai had betrayed humanity and attacked without restraint, leaving no flaws.
Hence, the Chaos believers who were annihilated to the last didn’t suspect Li Yelai was an undercover.
Now, the officials also considered this, letting only the commander in the know, minimizing any flaws.
“Being cautious is good…” Li Yelai nodded slightly, seeing no issue with it.
Having reinforcements when one’s identity was known was already fortunate; if too many knew, it would be unsafe.
Then, Li Yelai shared his intelligence with the Doll.
From how he became a Chaos Chosen, to cooperating with Team One to kill Black Umbrella, to the assassination attempt at the Main Base.
The Doll listened, heart pounding with alarm.
With just those few words, she could sense the danger they contained.
Heartache mixed with relief that Li Yelai had survived through these perils.
[So… how did Little Mad King infiltrate the Church?[・_・?]] the Doll asked, holding up her signboard.
