Chapter 214 This silly boy is in love
It happened in the blink of an eye!
At the very moment Cyrus made his move, Leng Meng beside him moved!
Without the slightest hesitation, a chilling glint slid out from her sleeve. It was a strangely shaped dagger with a blade that flowed with a ghostly blue aura, and it ruthlessly stabbed straight at Cyrus's carotid artery!
Fast, accurate, ruthless, and without reservation, it goes straight for the vital spot!
Almost at the same instant Leng Meng made her move, Qin Yue on the other side also moved!
She yanked out her pistol, pointed it at Cyrus’s head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
The two men, positioned on the left and right, blocked all angles of evasion, a truly deadly move!
But at this critical moment, the raven on Cyrus's shoulder suddenly raised its head and let out a hoarse and deep roar that was completely unlike any bird!
The sound waves, as if they had substance, swept outwards with dark energy, deflecting both Leng Meng's blade and the incoming bullets!
The raven then exploded into surging, thick black mist, from which a blurry female figure rapidly solidified.
She was like a suspended, semi-transparent shadow, dressed in a classically styled dark dress, her face deathly pale yet exceptionally beautiful, her eyes two bottomless voids—
It was the witch Morvila!
She silently stood in front of the warden.
Cyrus whirled around, his pale face showing disbelief for the first time, his gaze like an icy spike piercing Leng Meng and Qin Yue:
"You...how dare you rebel?!"
"Kill them!" he shouted at the witches.
Morvira's empty eyes "looked" at Qin Yue, and her withered finger suddenly pointed!
A black ray, condensed to its extreme, shot out silently.
Qin Yue's expression changed drastically, and an energy shield instantly condensed in front of her. However, the black ray pierced through the shield with overwhelming force and accurately entered her left shoulder with a "poof" sound!
Qin Yue let out a muffled groan, and was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow, slamming hard against the back wall and leaving a clear dent.
She slid to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and her breath instantly died.
A dark aura, like a living thing, swirled and corroded the wound on his shoulder, causing the blood to quickly turn dark...
I can't watch anymore!
Lin Feng decisively cut off the deduction, his consciousness abruptly snapping back to reality.
The warden and his men are coming soon!
His eyes refocused, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and the shock of witnessing Qin Yue's serious injury during the simulation still lingered in his eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed Captain Karen's arm and pulled him forcefully into the shadows beside the isolation door.
Karen stumbled from the tugging, frowning in displeasure. "What are you doing! This pulling and tugging is unbecoming—"
"Captain, listen up!" Lin Feng spoke very quickly, his voice low, his eyes fixed on Karen.
"If the warden says I look younger, you'd better be quick to reply that I've recently become infatuated with some girl and started paying attention to my appearance, putting on a face mask every night without fail! Got it? That's what you say!"
Karen was completely bewildered by his sudden action and strange explanation; a vein throbbed on her forehead.
"What the hell are you doing, kid?"
Lin Feng tightened his grip, his nails almost digging into Karen's uniform, his tone unusually serious and urgent:
"If you don't do as I say and help me cover this up, we'll all die here! I'm not kidding!"
Karen looked at the undisguised determination and tension in Lin Feng's eyes, and then remembered how much effort Leng Meng had put into replacing this guy. She suddenly realized that this kid might not be acting crazy, but rather... he had some kind of ability to plan ahead.
In a flash, Karen weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded emphatically, though her face still showed confusion and a hint of absurdity, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, got it. You're obsessed with this girl, so put on a face mask."
As soon as he finished speaking, steady and clear footsteps came from around the corner of the corridor ahead.
Three figures approached from afar under the pale white light.
It was Warden Cyrus Mohn, Leng Meng, and—Qin Yue, whose stance had already been confirmed in the simulation.
What made Lin Feng's heart tighten the most was the raven perched on Cyrus's shoulder.
That was the incarnation of the witch Morvila, the most dangerous and deadly killing move hidden in the shadows.
Clearly, Cyrus had already prepared a backup plan to ensure the ceremony would go perfectly today.
He managed to keep the witch by his side in such a secretive way. If Lin Feng hadn't used his deduction to gain the upper hand, they would have been completely wiped out in the upcoming battle!
Lin Feng quickly returned to his original position in the formation, lowered the brim of his hat, and concealed all emotions in his eyes, leaving only the coldness and indifference befitting a member of the Obsidian Guard.
Soon, the warden arrived in front of the Obsidian Guard squad.
The four men immediately straightened their backs, pounded their right fists into their left chests, and gave a standard Obsidian Guard salute, their voices ringing out:
"Warden! Deputy Warden!"
Cyrus Mohn nodded slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the four cold, hard faces before finally landing on Lin Feng's face, a very faint line appearing between his brows.
It's exactly as predicted!
"Chen Mo?" Cyrus carefully examined Lin Feng's facial features, his scrutiny almost overflowing.
"It's been a few days, and you seem... to have gotten younger?"
Lin Feng remained calm and composed, but Leng Meng, standing behind Cyrus, tensed up almost imperceptibly, her right hand quietly slipping into her sleeve.
Just as the tension was about to escalate, Karen suddenly chuckled softly.
He took half a step forward, bowed slightly, and put on a helpless expression that every man understands.
"Warden, please don't mention it." Karen deliberately lowered her voice, her tone laced with a hint of sarcasm.
"I don't know which department's girl he's recently become obsessed with; he's suddenly started paying attention to his appearance."
"Every night without fail, I apply the same thing... a deep-sea mineral mask."
"I must say, after all this fuss, my skin actually looks a bit fairer and smoother!"
Leng Meng's expression froze, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes—
When did Karen develop such quick wit?
But in a flash, she immediately understood.
It's Lin Feng.
He must have used his "sixth sense" to sense the danger in advance, which is why he informed Karen.
The tension in my heart finally eased.
Karen's reasons, though somewhat unseemly, perfectly captured the clumsy and over-the-top image transformation a young soldier in unrequited love might undertake.
Absurd, yet perfectly reasonable!
Cyrus's brow furrowed slowly, and he shook his head with a wry smile. The scrutinizing edge in his sharp eyes faded, replaced by the tolerance of an elder looking at a junior doing something foolish.
"Love can indeed easily make people lose themselves, but that's precisely its...beauty."
After speaking, his gaze shifted from Lin Feng to the massive alloy door, and he gave a brief nod to Qin Yue beside him…
