Chapter 597: Chapter 453: When Necessary_1

The girl, awakening from her coma, immediately crossed her arms over her chest and looked around warily, "Where is this? Where’s Eli??"

"There was never an Eli, you are safe now," Zheng Yichen told Rebecca, while handing over the instant noodles he had prepared. The girl had bought quite a few things before, and when she left, Zheng Yichen took everything with him. The car was incinerated by Hellfire, then buried underground—no evidence remained.

"You, you killed her??" Rebecca couldn’t help but scream, trying to burst free but finding herself bound by streams of water.

That’s why it’s not good to act in the City of Evil Spirits—every human there feels there’s nothing amiss, like now when he’s the one helping but ends up looking like a murderer.

"That was an Evil Spirit, forget it, this is hard to explain. Just eat your food for now."

Rebecca glared at Zheng Yichen furiously, but he didn’t care. Seeing that she wasn’t going to eat, he polished off the tasty noodles himself and then took her with him as he left.

On the road, the girl shouted uneasily, "Where are you taking me??"

"Of course, I’m selling you! Hahahaha, just kidding." Zheng Yichen grinned and laughed. It’s troublesome to explain and she wouldn’t believe him anyway, so he couldn’t be bothered to clarify. All that could wait for the girl to figure out later.

After all, once they left this world, there would be no further interaction between them.

Amidst Rebecca’s unyielding struggle, Zheng Yichen hurried towards Alice’s place. Along the way, the girl muttered, "I need to use the restroom!!"

"Oh." Zheng Yichen stopped: "Go ahead."

Rebecca glared fiercely at Zheng Yichen. In her mind, he was still a killer. Even though he didn’t seem to be harming her for the moment, he wasn’t a good person either.

Finding a spot out of Zheng Yichen’s sight, she quickly dealt with her business and stealthily took out her phone, only to be disappointed by the lack of signal in the wilderness. She had no chance to call for help.

The returning girl looked at Zheng Yichen, who was leisurely waiting for her on his motorcycle, feeling even more distressed. She asked, "Aren’t you worried I might run away?"

"Ah? No worries. There’s no village in sight, no shop behind—where could your two little short legs take you? Beware the Evil Spirits might eat you. If you want to ride comfortably, just get on the bike properly."

Rebecca, grinding her teeth, seated herself on the motorcycle that resembled something from a sci-fi novel, "Where exactly are you taking me?"

"To a safe place, of course. The city you were living in was terrible. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were too many humans like you there, I would have burned it down a long time ago!"

"My city has always been normal, you’re talking nonsense," Rebecca still disbelieved Zheng Yichen’s words. If there was really such a big problem with her city, wouldn’t the exorcists have noticed?

"That’s why I can’t be bothered to explain. Hold tight, we’re going to speed up."

"Spee... aaah—!!" Just as Rebecca was about to say something, she began to scream when she saw a slight distortion in the surroundings, which stretched out before her eyes, tunnel-like, from over Zheng Yichen’s shoulder.

If she had been enclosed in a metal carriage, she might not have been able to see all this and wouldn’t have been as scared. But now she was flesh wrapped around metal, and the speed, beyond her comprehension, caused her to cling tightly to Zheng Yichen. She didn’t dare imagine what would become of her if she fell off now.

Naturally, in her fear, the girl also overlooked why Zheng Yichen’s acceleration hadn’t affected her.

As he sped to the max, Zheng Yichen quickly arrived at Alice’s residence.

Someone was home.

"Who... who is she??" Upon seeing Alice, who answered the door, Rebecca covered her mouth. Alice’s appearance, resembling that of a zombie bride, was hard for an ordinary human to accept.

"A female friend I’ve not known for long."

"I’ve been to Dusk, it’s a strange place," Alice glanced at Rebecca, unperturbed by her gaze; she was used to such looks.

"Oh~ you became a Dusk mercenary?"

Alice nodded, "With such a good opportunity, why not? But I’m not quite ready yet."

The Dusk nun had shared some basic information with her after she chose to become a Dusk mercenary, and what Alice was now contemplating was how to find a way to restore her natural state from another world. But she wasn’t prepared yet.

Alice was well aware of her own appearance. Looking like a monster wherever she went, she planned to refine her potion, to extend the time she could look normal as much as possible before attempting to make contact with other worlds.

"Come in first, I already believe what you told me before."

Her world was on the brink of collapse, and among the missions that Dusk mercenaries could accept were those concerning the situation in her world. As a native Dusk mercenary, she could see the relevant mission information, which only made clear the severity of the problem.

Zheng Yichen’s talk of saving the world was no joke.

"You have returned too early, the things you want have not finished being written." After pouring some tea, Alice glanced at the desk nearby, heaped with a pile of thick books.

Rebecca, like a hamster in an unfamiliar environment, looked around cautiously, not daring to say anything.

"You... hand-copied these?"

"Is there a problem?" Alice retorted.

"No, but you could have just organized the materials, and my assistant could’ve scanned them."

Alice stared at Zheng Yichen with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn’t you say so earlier."

"Now is not too late, since you’ve come to understand more, let’s talk about this girl."

Zheng Yichen suddenly shifted the topic to Rebecca. The girl shuddered, looking at Zheng Yichen and Alice with great anxiety, worried about what she might face next.

"Hmm? Her physique is good; she has the potential to become an exorcist." Alice assessed Rebecca, noting her body was different from ordinary people and her keen perception of certain information; she could sense what Evil Spirits could, "And I don’t take apprentices."

"I brought her back from the City of Evil Spirits. I only wanted to investigate the problems there, but I couldn’t just ignore it after encountering it, so I brought her with me."

"The City of Evil Spirits?" Alice appeared confused, having never heard of such a place.

"It’s that city called Kreich."

"??"

Upon hearing the name ’City of Evil Spirits,’ Alice looked even more perplexed. If she remembered correctly, that city was on another continent and was one of the world’s famous tourist cities. She said, "It’s unbelievable, what is the situation there that leads you to call it the City of Evil Spirits?"

Was there a problem with Kreich? Alice had never been but thought it shouldn’t have any problems. If problems existed, especially to the extent of being labeled ’City of Evil Spirits,’ they should have surfaced long ago.

"That city has issues; anyone who goes in gets ’bewitched,’ including exorcists. As for Evil Spirits, once they get in, they can’t leak any information out." Zheng Yichen briefly explained the information he had collected.

Rebecca looked skeptical, while Alice, who had never visited Kreich, nodded thoughtfully, "That place is also part of the ’world crisis’ you need to resolve, isn’t it? If you have no choice, what would you do?"

Her trust in Zheng Yichen was still high, having already encountered Dusk. She had also learned a little about Zheng Yichen from a Dusk nun, although she only got the name ’Chang Qing’ and a bit of other information, it contained enough about Zheng Yichen’s ’reliability’.

This was a Proxy Agent who had solved many ’Doomsday crises,’ or he wouldn’t have made it this far.

But Zheng Yichen was clearly going to face bigger trouble this time; solving it wasn’t just about facing enemies, but also a large number of innocent people who lived unaware in a city controlled by Evil Spirits. What’s more horrifying was that people in this world hadn’t noticed this anomaly.

Moreover, the city didn’t restrict the entry of ordinary people, further reducing the possibility of outsiders detecting the anomaly through other means.

"Then I’ll just play the Demon King."

"...I really hope you’re joking." The corner of Alice’s eyes twitched slightly. That was a famous first-tier city with tens of millions of people. Zheng Yichen’s words meant if he had no other choice, he would completely destroy the city.

"Of course not, I have considered it seriously before making this decision." Zheng Yichen shook his head, "Dusk mercenaries would mostly be affected if they went there. I, on the other hand, can ignore the influence, but only I can.

If I can’t completely resolve the crisis brought by the Boundary Breaking Faction, this world will face ’Doomsday,’ and then even more people will die, and at that time, I’ll be done for too. It’s better to be decisive; at least I can ensure that those who die there will go to Hell."

It took almost a minute of silence before Alice spoke, "I really wish this were a Hell joke."

Rebecca couldn’t help shouting, "Why would you think that way? Maybe you’re just a madman!!"

To have a young man discussing the slaughter of cities in front of her was both absurd and terrifying.

"Give it a rest, girl." Zheng Yichen glanced at the girl who was reacting strongly, "You’re shouting about it now, but when the Doomsday really comes, you’ll regret that I didn’t act more decisively and prevented the death of more people."

"I won’t!!"
