Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 190 Token
Yu Bai stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open, still unable to understand how someone who couldn't sense any spiritual energy could crush his neck along with the spiritual energy barrier.

Why would a lowly commoner, who doesn't even possess divine powers, dare to defy him, a guardian knight? He is a nobleman!

Moreover, she was clearly trying to help him create a child with divine features.

You clearly agreed, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me.

Mingming, his wife was also seducing him with a mix of resistance and attraction.
Why is this happening?

He died with deep confusion.

Li Yelai acted too quickly, so quickly that he couldn't even utter a word.

Li Yelai straightened his head and closed his eyes.

He then took out a silver face mask from his pocket and stuck it on his face.

This is the psionic weapon used by the Dragon Hunter when infiltrating the forbidden zone. Its ability is the mimicry of the Myriad Paths.

Simply apply the mask to the target's cheek to perfectly replicate their appearance.

If used by an original psionicist, it could even mimic body shape.

The first victim Li Yelai encountered was the Skinner. This was the Skinner's ability, but due to its twisted nature, the Skinner's methods were even more bloody and violent.

Watching the silver mask gradually change, mimicking Yu Bai's face.

"His face isn't bad, but his expression is rather unpleasant." Little Mad King nodded slightly and offered his opinion: "Actually, if I had just chopped his neck with a single chop when he came to grab my clothes, his expression might have been better."

This was also part of their plan. Li Yelai needed an identity that would allow him to get close to Meiwu, and Yu Bai, as a member of the Guardian Knights, was a good candidate.

The Little Mad King's expression remained indifferent as she spoke, but after Yu Bai's death, she no longer pretended and reverted to her original world-weary face.

Li Yelai frowned and said, "There's absolutely no need for that."

"Speaking of which, your curse is still in effect, so why didn't he suspect you?" Li Yelai changed the subject.

"Cognitive and environmental factors. Under different cognitions and environments, the degree of doubt about me also changes."

For example, my colleagues know I'm a psionicist, and a captain-level powerhouse. Therefore, they suspect I might be twisted. They worry I might betray them in battle, so they don't dare entrust their backs to me.

In everyday life, if someone loses something and sees me nearby, even if I've never had any contact with them, they'll subconsciously assume I'm the thief.

Little Mad Queen paused, not revealing more of the pain she had endured.

Instead, she replied, "If Yu Bai sees me while searching for suspicious individuals in the city, he will suspect that I am a suspicious person. But when he first contacted us, he was prejudiced and assumed that I was a woman who wanted to sell myself for personal gain. Even if I firmly refuse, he will not believe me and will think that I am playing hard to get."

It's hard to imagine the injustice Little Mad King would suffer under such a curse. No matter the circumstances, a hat can always be pinned on her.
This is also why she deeply hates human traitors.

Meiwu was loved, cared for, and trusted by everyone, yet she turned her knife on her companions.

Unable to gain the trust of others, she had to prove herself time and time again.

This also makes it impossible for her to forgive those traitors who betrayed her trust.

That was what she desperately craved, yet it was trampled and desecrated by traitors.

"It will get better," Li Yelai could only say, his voice weak and powerless.

Little Mad King nodded calmly: "Thank you for your kind words."

Then, Li Yelai applied the silver mask to his face.

As psionic energy is infused into it, the mask quickly adheres to the skin.

The image of Yu Bai appeared on Li Yelai's face, even vividly imitating the eyeball on Yu Bai's forehead. However, it served no purpose and was merely decorative.

When Li Yelai put Yu Bai's armor on him, it was as if Yu Bai had been brought back to life.

However, Yu Bai, being a human from the restricted area, has fairer skin, and there is also a difference in physique between the two.

The two were about the same height, but Li Yelai was physically stronger and had never missed a training session. Although he looked tall and thin, his muscle definition was actually very clear. Yu Bai, on the other hand, was much less impressive.

If he bumps into someone he knows, he'll easily give himself away. He can't exactly say that Yu Bai only worked out at home for a day and suddenly had this kind of result, can he?

“Don’t worry, he’s taken tomorrow off, and the day after tomorrow is the execution date, which is also when we move in. You won’t have much contact with the other humans from the forbidden zones,” Little Mad King said. “As long as you’re not discovered immediately, it’ll be fine.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly. His plan was to use his identity as a Yu Bai Guardian Knight to cause some trouble for Gotwin.

However, this requires the cooperation of the two night watch teams and Yu Bai's status as a player in the restricted area.

If we can incite conflict between the teams from the Heavenly Realm and Black Source City, that would be ideal.

It is known that the Black Source City caravan has clashed with the angels of Heaven on several occasions.

After all, the two forbidden zones had fought each other in the early stages of the calamity, and it wasn't until the emergence of a super-killer like the Old Mad King that they shifted their focus to humanity. Their relationship was definitely not good.

The so-called alliance is still in its embryonic stage, and it is entirely based on the cooperation between Gertwin and Enchantress.

In particular, Gotwin seemed to be captivated by the charm of the enchantress, personally delivering a powerful psionic weapon from afar.

He was also a representative of Black Source City, and it was he who did his best to suppress the restless Black Source City knights.

But if he's gone, things will get interesting. A nobleman from Black Source City, caught in the crossfire in a city within the Heavenly Realm, right under the noses of so many angels. It will probably be very difficult for the two sides to cooperate again.

Li Yelai acquired Yu Bai's identity with the intention of using someone else to do his dirty work.

He possesses a token from 'Gold Mountain', which allows him to impersonate Jade Blood Supreme's spies or messengers when necessary.

Gotwin is not an Ark voter, and contacting Black Source City is extremely difficult, while Li Yelai can exploit an information gap.

Thinking of this, Li Yelai asked, "Was Gotwin affected by the curse of the Enchanting Dance?"

"It should be. Mei Wu's curse is extremely powerful. Even those who have severed all feelings of love and affection will be affected by it and develop feelings of goodwill uncontrollably." Little Mad King replied, "And out of pity, they can't bear to hurt Mei Wu. This is the first stage: having feelings of goodwill and being unwilling to hurt her."

"As time goes on, the urge to get closer will grow. Even the most astute person will gradually become fanatical and desperately want to see Meiwu. This is the second stage."

"The third stage is characterized by a strong possessive desire to have Meiwu all to himself. Even if it means imprisonment or violence, he will still want to keep her by his side. However, the third stage does not last long. If he does not have contact with or see Meiwu for a long time, he will regress to the second stage."

“Currently, Gotwin should be in the second stage,” the Little Mad King said. “From the perspective of the curse, she is very suitable for gathering forces. Otherwise, how could a non-pure-blooded being gather so many combatants?”

"It's truly a terrifying curse to have bewitched so many people, just like a succubus?" Li Yelai asked. "No, even more terrifying than a succubus! After all, a succubus can't seduce a blockhead. The sixth champion once came into contact with a succubus in a mysterious area."

Little Mad King seemed to smile: "It is said that the succubus tried her best to seduce the sixth champion, but she just couldn't move him."

Enraged, the succubus attempted to force herself on the sixth champion. She was instead killed and banished, crying pitifully. She vowed that upon her return, she would seduce him and make him her devoted subject.

"There's such a secret?" Li Yelai asked with a hint of gossip, "Is there more?"

He knew that the champions of all time were incredibly brave, but he really didn't know what kind of people they were in private.

"That's the fifth-generation champion. Like you, he's a psionicist using the Myriad Paths. He mimics the Gluttonous Beast, capable of devouring everything. He's eaten countless creatures from forbidden zones. You should know that in his peak battle, three overlords besieged the fifth-generation champion. In the end, one was eaten, one was killed, and one escaped with serious injuries."

Li Yelai nodded. The one who escaped was Jinshan, who later rose to power, also known as Jade Blood Supreme.

"He was incredibly powerful, practically invincible below the Supreme level. Such a hero naturally attracts admirers. One of them was a girl from a powerful spiritual family, but unfortunately, the champion lacked emotional intelligence." Little Mad King glanced at Li Yelai and shook his head. "And after his death in battle, that girl also died of grief. As a result, that spiritual family has a lot of grievances against our Third Border City."

Li Yelai sighed, "Are both champions made of wood?"

Then, Li Yelai saw the strange look in Little Mad King's eyes.

Zhu Feng and another Night Observer, who had just sneaked in, also looked at Li Yelai with strange expressions.

The other Night Scouts did not participate; all communication was handled by the two Netherworld Path Night Scouts.

"No, why are you looking at me like that?" Li Yelai asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I was just listening to you guys gossip, and I didn't expect it to be about our team." Zhu Feng replied with a smile: "It seems that the emotional intelligence of each generation of champions is not very high. Captain Yang Chen is the same. As far as I know, our East City branch's Pale Captain seems to have a crush on him."

“I know that,” another member from the White Robe Group, Nightfall Path, chuckled. “Back then, Captain Pale invited Captain Yang Chen out, dressed up beautifully at the branch. But Captain Yang Chen thought it was going to be a sparring match, so he came out wearing only his armor, saying it was just a sparring match, and didn’t even wear his cloak.”

It's hard to imagine what that scene would be like: a girl dressed up and looking forward to a date, while a man, clad in armor, comes over eagerly, ready for a friendly spar.

Holy crap, no wonder he's the captain!

Li Yelai laughed and said, "The key is to be completely impervious to reason!"

Since the captain isn't here right now, we can laugh at him as much as we can.

Strangely, the way the group looked at Li Yelai became increasingly bizarre.

Zhu Feng coughed lightly and said, "So some people have joked that the champions of all generations were incredibly strong. Are you envious? They all traded their emotional intelligence for it!"

"It's being said in other major cities that all the past champions are invincible among their peers, and that they're all blockheads."

"Hahaha"

Afterwards, the group used a navigation compass to dispose of Yu Bai's body.

Inside the villa, Li Yelai began to impersonate Yu Bai and noted down some information he had gathered about Yu Bai.

As a member of the Guardian Knights, Yu Bai was nothing in the eyes of the angels, but compared to other humans in the forbidden zones, he was already a big shot.

On the day of the execution, he will be responsible for a certain area of ​​the viewing platform.

This gave Li Yelai the opportunity to bring his equipment and forbidden items in.

Moreover, the authorities had prepared a considerable amount of poison and bombs for this assassination attempt, enough to make the Knights a hindrance.

Once the attention of the creatures in the restricted area is diverted, Li Yelai will be able to attempt to kill Meiwu.

The others rested for a few hours before leaving the villa. They needed to gather more information.

It wasn't until noon the next day, less than 24 hours before the execution, that everyone returned to the villa.

But the news that came was not good.

"Assassinating Gotwin is too difficult. He lives near the cathedral. The cathedral is guarded by four wings, so we couldn't get any closer," said Zhu Feng. "Unless we send all our forces in for a head-on assault, it will be very difficult to assassinate Gotwin under these circumstances."

“They also know how important Gotwin is.” Li Yelai pondered, “Then, let them come to me on their own!”

“Even so, the person who comes might not necessarily be Gotwin,” said the Night Watchman from the White Robe Group.

“That’s even better!” Zhu Feng laughed.

After discussing with everyone, Li Yelai took out a small box and retrieved the black gold token inside.

As the black gold token left the shield of the small box.

In an instant, the special spiritual energy on the token flickered.

While resting inside the mansion, Gertwin and the four golden-armored knights suddenly looked in a certain direction.

"That is... the Supreme Lord's spiritual energy!"

Jin Shu was completely taken aback; he never imagined that he would be able to sense his master's psychic energy here.

"Why are you here?"

Gotwin frowned as well. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but psionic energy couldn't be faked.

Just like human fingerprints, psychic energy also possesses uniqueness. That was indeed the psychic energy of the Jade Mountain Supreme, a precious object personally crafted by the Supreme. It was a call that only the beings of Black Origin City could sense.

Is that the Supreme One's trusted confidant? Coming here at this critical juncture?

Could it be that Black Source City is planning to call off this collaboration?
Gotwin's heart skipped a beat. Now that things had come to this, he couldn't give up halfway! For the sake of Mew, and for his own sake.

He has already invested too much sunk cost, and if this alliance is broken, he will lose everything.

"Lord Godwin," Golden Tree spoke, "He is summoning us to come."

“How arrogant. It’s not like the Supreme One is here in person, what right do I have to go and greet him?” Gotwin said coldly. “Go and see what he wants to say. Use forbidden objects, and make sure the angels don’t discover your contact.”

"Yes!" Jin Shu bowed, took a piece of animal skin from the carriage, and wrapped it around his body.

The next second, it vanished without a trace.
