Ye Luoli: The Charismatic Girl Leads the World to Darkness

A sudden, fierce wind swept through the quiet, dense forest, causing the grass and trees to sway wildly. When the wind stopped, petals were scattered all over the ground.

A man in black, who was wiping a dagger behind a tree, instinctively peeked out from behind the tree and saw a blurry figure behind him.

However, the grass and trees swayed, and dust rose, making it difficult to see clearly.

The man in black squinted and looked around a few times, not daring to move. He rummaged around at the two people next to him and whispered, "Hey, look, isn't that Zhang Bin?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing his words, not only the two people he had shoved, but also the others looked up, following his gaze with confusion.

A man in black sitting opposite the other narrowed his eyes—he possessed a special talent: eagle eyes. Through a cloud of dust, he saw a blinding red.

"The woman in red is the target of the mission."

“Zhang Bin has most likely already sacrificed himself.” One of the men sitting on the far left drew a dagger from his waist and made the conclusion.

The man who had assigned the task earlier dropped the branch, drew a dagger from his waist, and said coldly, "Proceed according to plan."

"Yes!"

The other six responded in unison, and three of them lifted their black robes and took out their weapons from their system backpacks—a long sword, a pistol, and a long whip.

"Hurry up."

One of them turned back and gave his teammate a word of advice, then the three of them grabbed their weapons and darted out from the bushes where they were hiding, like three giant black rats.

Yan Xi's eyes were unfocused, and she was covered in blood. Relying solely on her hearing and mental strength to find her way, she staggered and wandered aimlessly forward, muttering to herself as she went.

"The main force? Where is the main force?"

Suddenly, her mental energy detected three unidentified objects rushing towards her.

Yan Xi was startled, and with a somewhat ghostly gait, she narrowly avoided the three gusts of wind, only to suddenly feel a strong wind sweeping from behind her.

She instinctively took a step to the left, then lowered her head and squatted down.

The three men in black, however, had a glint in their eyes, which suddenly widened and were filled with a ruthless determination to win.

puff!

The sound of a dagger piercing flesh was clearly audible, followed by three consecutive "thumps".

The body fell to the ground; it was three men in black who had attacked head-on!

Their victorious smiles froze on their faces, and before the joy in their eyes could fade, disbelief and shock crept in.

He truly didn't know why he was killed until his death.

"Sir, are you okay?"

A young and gentle voice rang out from above Yan Xi's head. It was the man in black who had assigned the task. He stood in front of Yan Xi, bowing slightly with a face full of respect.

"It's alright, you... a one-hit kill?"

"Yes."

Yan Xi frowned, about to speak, when she heard another young man shouting loudly from not far away:

"Hey! Left, Brother Zhao, left... behind, behind! You're grabbing it... are you stupid?"

Then came another young man's voice, "Can you shut your mouth? You're something else... Tuanzi, capture!"

Suddenly, a commotion broke out over there, the sound so loud that Yan Xi's head throbbed and she felt dizzy.

She plopped down on the grass, coughed twice with a handkerchief over her mouth, and then tossed the handkerchief to the ground when she removed it.

The man in black in front of her turned to look at the system that had captured three dead people, his eyes inadvertently glancing at a splash of bright red on the white handkerchief.

"Am I ugly now?" Yan Xi suddenly looked up and asked him.

The man in black shook his head honestly, "Not ugly."

She wasn't ugly, though her hair was a bit messy and her clothes were wet and stuck to her body in a disheveled state; she just looked rather disheveled.

After the Fire Essence Eyes were taken out, her body stopped collapsing and began to slowly repair itself from the inside out. The wound on her right cheek began to scab over, and the blood was wiped clean. Coupled with her beautiful, unfocused eyes, she was not ugly at all, but rather had a touch of bewitching charm that captivated people.

"It's good that it's not ugly... Does it look terrible?" Yan Xi touched her face with her scarred hand, leaving a bloody mark on her clean face.

"It's pretty miserable."

The man in black nodded, and seeing Yan Xi hesitate for a moment, he continued,

"My current public identity is that of a piece of trash with the same name as the Divine Lord Xiyun. It would be good enough if the heavily injured blind man could fight back, let alone kill him in one blow... That guy is very suspicious, he won't believe it."

"That……"

The man in black opened his mouth, and then Yan Xi pulled out a dagger and cut off both of his sleeves.

The noise gradually subsided, and Yan Xi used her mental power to sense that all three enemy systems had been captured and destroyed.

“Use this to splatter blood all over the grass and leaves in this area,” she said, handing over her sleeve along with her dagger. “Use this to make some cuts on those three dead men…do you know how to fake battle marks?”

"Uh..." The previously boisterous young man was holding a broken system in one hand, and raising his other hand, he made a "little bit" gesture with his thumb and forefinger together. "I...can..."

"..."

Yan Xi's eye twitched slightly. "Didn't the Supreme God have anyone teach you how to forge traces?"

“No,” the young man shook his head honestly, “The Lord God said that you know how to do it, so we don’t need to learn it specifically.”

Yan Xi: ...

I fucking thank you, you old bastard, you just wait and see!

"Are all your daggers the same model?" Yan Xi asked. After hearing someone hum in response, she reached out to them, "Give me one... It's not poisoned, is it?"

“No,” one person shook his head and said, “I was afraid of accidentally injuring people in the crowd, so I didn’t dare let them apply the poison.”

"Alright, alright, two of you go and drain the blood, one of you injure the corpse, and one of you injure the substitute." Yan Xi grabbed the dagger handed to her by one of them and waved to them, "Just mess around as you like. He can't possibly find someone to do a proper appraisal. Don't be too demanding, just make a mess of it."

The four men exchanged glances, then two of them snatched the sleeves and ran off with the third man, leaving the man in charge standing there helplessly.

Men in Black Number One: ...I *you* *****

Yan Xi: ? What's wrong with you?

Men in black, numbers two, three, and four: They're outta here! - \u003d???? \u003d???? ?( ′Д`)?

"What are you standing there for? Like a telephone pole?" Yan Xi frowned as she noticed the person still standing in front of her after she saw two bloody scratches on her arm. "We don't have much time. She'll be here soon."

"Um..." The man in black scratched his head through his hood, stammering somewhat awkwardly, "I...we don't have any substitutes..."

Yan Xi: !!!

"What the hell?! No stunt doubles?!" Yan Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice rising a whole octave. "What are they doing?! They don't teach you the techniques or provide the props, are they just sending you here to die?!"

"And you guys," she finished her tirade and turned her rage towards the four men in black, "Are you stupid or have your brains filled with shit?! If they don't give you items, why don't you ask for them? If you don't know the skills, why don't you learn them yourself?! What the hell are you doing here if you don't know anything or have nothing?! If you want to die, just slit your own throats! Did you come all this way to have me collect your corpses?!"

Men in black: trembling. (jpg)

After finishing her rant, Yan Xi took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the anger rising within her. "Sorry, I was a little emotional..."

Composing herself, Yan Xi took out four faceless rag dolls from her system backpack and tossed them to the men in black. "Drip a drop of blood on each of you, then quickly inflict wounds. Once you're done, run! She'll be here in five minutes at most."

After that, people went about their work and others got injured, and for a while no one said a word.

After making the incision, Yan Xi casually tossed the dagger into the nearby bushes and sighed, "Be more careful next time. These kinds of missions are life-threatening. Just ask for whatever you need. No one in the lower ranks of the Air Traffic Control Bureau dares to treat people differently based on their status."

"why?"

The loud and boisterous young man couldn't help but ask the question.

“It’s nothing,” Yan Xi said with a strange expression, “because quite a few old monsters like to do low-level tasks.”

"Are you all done?" She suddenly changed the subject, the abrupt change almost straining their backs.

"All done!"

"Then get lost."

"Got it!"

Yan Xi had to admit that young people were fast runners; the four of them disappeared in the blink of an eye, like big black rats.

With her mental energy connected to the control centers of the four stand-ins and four fake systems, Yan Xi sat on the ground, a slight smile playing on her lips.
