141. Tricky Target
“Alright.” Without much hesitation, An Lisi agreed, “An Lisen, you will be ashamed of your foolishness.”
“Hmph! I guarantee you will lose!”
Buzz…
As the two were talking, Wen Han saw the endless darkness begin to tremble.
Suddenly, a hurricane howled, and countless cards sliced through the vortex like blades, as if a tornado was wreaking havoc among everyone.
An Lisen remained expressionless, grabbing one with a snap: “Let’s use this person for the bet.”
“Suit yourself, my brother.”
The two didn’t even glance at the card before making their decision.
Wen Han and Lin Wuju locked eyes.
Suddenly, a swoosh sounded, and Lin Wuju’s figure moved slightly, catching the incoming card.
Wen Han immediately scanned it, squinting her eyes: “A woman?!”
The target on the card was actually a woman!?
If the man could charm others, how could they deal with a woman?
“And…” Lin Wuju flipped the other side of the card, “She’s also a black mage.”
“Oh?” Wen Han’s eyes showed even more curiosity.
A female black mage? So she’s similar to me?
This unprecedented situation piqued her interest but also left her in deep thought.
What methods should she use to reclaim this soul?
“An Lisen, let Lin Wuju and Wen Han be your opponents.” An Lisi’s voice brought them back to reality.
An Lisen scoffed, “With them? Hmph! No need!”
He suddenly sneered, and a buzzing sound echoed in mid-air.
Swoosh, Wen Han only saw a fleeting black shadow vanish.
“This woman won’t survive the night! You’ll see me win! Hahaha…”
The voice gradually faded away until it finally disappeared.
Wen Han silently turned to An Lisi, “Your Highness, we’ll proceed immediately.”
Though uncertain if he would speak, she feared that if he did, it wouldn’t be good.
She tried to cut him off and leave first.
“Hold on.” But she miscalculated, “Lin Wuju, you two handle the bet. Do you know the consequences of failure?”
Lin Wuju stiffened, “I… I guarantee completion of the mission!”
Wen Han turned back, “Victory belongs only to the Recycling Station and Your Highness!”
“Very well.” An Lisi smiled slightly, “We can teach An Lisen a lesson at the right time, such as destroying his physical form.”
“Yes!”
Wen Han and Lin Wuju exchanged glances and retreated step by step, vanishing into chaos.
…
“Now… hmm?”
The moment Lin Wuju stepped into the Recycling Station, he transformed the card into data and looked at Wen Han.
But she picked up her phone and ignored him, “Wen Han? Time is tight, this mission has a completely different meaning than before.”
“Exactly because time is tight.” Wen Han glanced quickly and dialed Su Zeheng’s number.
…
“Wen Han?”
Seeing these words, besides PTSD, there was a small thrill.
Su Zeheng answered calmly, “Hello?”
“Uncle, An Lisen is targeting a woman; he will act tonight!”
“What did you say?!” Su Zeheng was half-skeptical.
“Don’t doubt me, I guarantee I won’t lie to you!” Wen Han looked at Lin Wuju.
Lin Wuju froze for a moment, then reacted, opening the data and giving her the address.
“Star River City North District, Star River Street 78.” Wen Han spoke quickly, “If you don’t believe me, go check now! If you’re late, it’ll be too late.”
“This…”
Though Wen Han’s “shining resume” made him skeptical, fearing the worst, Su Zeheng, as a Light Mage, could only nod.
“I hope you’re not lying… huh? She hung up again?”
…
On the other side, the Recycling Station.
“So you wanted to warn Su Zeheng in advance?” Lin Wuju understood after seeing the call end.
“Do we want to face An Lisen head-on when our strength is inferior?” Wen Han smiled slightly, “The Light Magic Society won’t abandon someone in need. Since we can’t find a way to collect this woman temporarily, the Light Magic Society will eventually learn about it, so it’s better to have them hold An Lisen back.”
“In this way, the target won’t die for now, and we have time to deal with it.” Lin Wuju nodded, “Smart woman.”
“Thank you, but I’m smarter than you think.” Wen Han smiled, then instantly became cold, “Give me the data!”
She snatched the data from Lin Wuju’s hand and muttered to herself.
“Ouxi Wei, half-breed, black mage, former magic scientist… what’s this?” She looked up.
Lin Wuju explained, “You can think of magic scientists as alchemists in fantasy novels. They research how to enhance a mage’s combat power without relying on their own strength.”
“So this woman is very powerful?”
“At least very tricky.”
Wen Han had an idea and continued browsing, “A few years ago, her husband had an accident, and she left the organization that same year, disappearing… Her disappearance might be related to her husband?”
“Let’s go take a look.” Lin Wuju came over, grabbed the data, “This… is a mission that cannot fail.”
…
Click! Click! Click!
A small house stood in the outskirts of Star River City, looking out of place compared to the bustling metropolis.
High heels clicked on the stairs’ shadows.
A woman with long hair, carrying vegetables, stopped at the door.
Creak.
The doorknob turned, and the door slowly opened.
“Xiao Wei, you’re back?” A man holding a frying pan walked inside, smiling.
The woman approached, and they kissed each other affectionately.
“Why are you so late tonight?” the man asked.
The woman shook her head, “Keep it this way, come with me.”
Whoosh, the man’s face changed abruptly, “They’re here again?”
“No… I don’t know.” A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, “They’re getting closer… bad! It’s too late!!!”
Bang—!
The woman pulled the man aside, dodging.
At the same time, the wall beside them exploded.
“Ouxi Wei?”
Thick smoke filled the room.
An Lisen floated in mid-air, a sinister look of malice flashing, “Oh? Trying to escape?”
He raised his hand, a bolt of lightning striking instantly.
Ouxi Wei grabbed her husband and dodged, flipping and kicking out the window, grabbing the exhaust vent and sliding down to the ground.
“You can’t escape!” An Lisen swept over like a storm, passing over their heads in an instant.
Ouxi Wei felt herself being overshadowed by a dark figure and pushed her husband away, grabbing upward.
“What?!” The speed was lightning fast; smug An Lisen couldn’t react in time as countless ice arrows burst forth.
He immediately stopped and erected a barrier.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! —!!!
Ice arrows shattered.
At the same moment, Ouxi Wei quickly leaped high by stepping on the wall, smashing a capsule onto An Lisen.
Boom—!
The capsule exploded, smoke spreading!
An Lisen coughed violently, roaring hoarsely.
“Filthy woman, you dare retaliate?!”
His red eyes pierced through the smoke, moving swiftly.
“Hmm? Where did she go?”
