Chapter 63 Team Formation
Chapter 63 Team Formation
On the playground, Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu were pondering how to find the Shadow Beast and who they could recruit as teammates.
At this moment, a figure came up behind Xu Zhaoting and patted him on the shoulder.
Xu Zhaoting turned around and saw that it was someone he knew. "Yunhua?"
'
Yunhua looked at Xu Zhaoting. If she didn't do something, Xu Zhaoting's final result would be to become a cursed beast, kill the person he loved most, and then have Mo Fan end his life.
In order to save this unfortunate child, Yunhua extended an invitation to him, but Xu Zhaoting hesitated again and again and actually refused!
"Why?" Yunhua didn't understand.
In terms of strength, Yunhua was definitely superior to him. In terms of friendship, the two had been friends since childhood. Yunhua could not find a reason for Xu Zhaoting to refuse him.
Xu Zhaoting didn't answer, but silently left with his girlfriend.
Yunhua sighed. What an inauspicious start!
"Luckily, I have a Plan B, Little Ti!"
'
Yunhua had Xiaoti follow behind Xu Zhaoting. Xiaoti was agile and, with her appearance just like an ordinary cat, she wouldn't be noticed.
Furthermore, Xiaoti and Yunhua have a soul contract and can sense each other's location. However, before setting off, Xiaoti should bring her battle beast ID card. Otherwise, if some mage mistakes her for a wild demon and reports her to the Inquisition, that would be a big problem!
Back in the house, Yunhua didn't look up any information about the Shadow Beast. After all, finding the Shadow Beast wasn't important; all that mattered was being able to snatch it when the time came.
Moreover, there should be a battle tonight, so we need to conserve our energy now.
Suddenly, Ai Tutu stormed back to the apartment, with Mu Nujiao following behind.
Although Yunhua had some guesses about why Ai Tutu was angry, she still asked, "What's wrong? Who made Ai Tutu angry this time?"
"It's all because of that big devil Mo Fan! This assessment allows for teamwork, and I originally hoped he would join our girl group. Look, with me as the strategist, and Sister Mu, who is both intelligent and strong, plus Brother Yun and Mo Fan, who are both super fighters, and then we could just pull in someone with strong control abilities, we would be invincible! But that big devil actually refused! I really don't know what he was thinking." Ai Tutu said irritably, "Does he want to be a lone wolf? Seriously, our girl group invited him so sincerely, doesn't he know how bad his reputation is at school? Nobody dares to team up with him, except for Sister Mu and me who don't mind. I didn't expect him to be so heartless and refuse us. Next time I see him, I'm going to bite him to death."
""
Yunhua: "Did you include me when you formed the team?"
'
Ai Tutu was startled, then looked at Yunhua with an expression as if she was about to cry, "No way, Brother Yun, are you going to abandon me too? Is our relationship so fragile?"
Yunhua's face darkened, and he said, "You've added too much drama, Xiao Ai. It's not that I'm unwilling, but you should have told me first! If the person I invited hadn't also refused me, wouldn't the situation be very awkward now?"
Ai Tutu said embarrassedly, "I was just annoyed by the Great Demon King! I'll definitely be more careful next time! But Brother Yun, you were abandoned too? Who was it?"
'
Yunhua: "————Couldn't you use a different word? Abandoning sounds weird. The other person is a friend I've known for a long time. We hadn't seen each other for a year before I went to university, but we reconnected later."
""
Hearing Yunhua's words, Ai Tutu felt much better after being rejected.
"Looks like you're pretty pitiful, Brother Yun. What do you think they're thinking? Why don't they want to team up? Everyone's here for the Three-Step Tower, and the rewards are the same whether you're alone or with five people."
""
Yunhua knew why Mo Fan refused: Mo Fan was being targeted by the Black Vatican, and he didn't want the two girls to get involved in his affairs. The Black Vatican would never show mercy just because they were beautiful!
As for Xu Zhaoting—
"Is it because of arrogance?" Yunhua said softly.
Ai Tutu: "Brother Yun, what did you say?"
"It's nothing," Yunhua shook her head. "I was just sighing; the human heart is indeed a complex thing."
Along the Huangpu River, the neon lights of distant skyscrapers, flashing in different colors, are reflected in the river water, swaying with the current like colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind in the night.
Walking along the riverbank, you'll come to a dilapidated factory. This factory probably specializes in recycling inferior meat products, as it reeks of meaty stench. This meat is mostly mixed with other things, often processed into dog food, which can then be sold for a decent price.
The factory has machines running, but there's not a single person inside, and probably not many people within a radius of several hundred meters.
However, just now, five figures drove a group of black, deformed shadows here.
Outside the factory, a man dressed in purple slowly approached, his eyes particularly sharp in the darkness.
"Lulu, you stay here, I'll go in and take a look," the man said to the girl with the high ponytail next to him.
"Don't go in, they look dangerous—Zhaoting, why are you following these people? And what are those black, half-human, half-ghost things?" said Lulu, a girl with a high ponytail.
"Don't ask anymore, you stay here. If I don't come out in ten minutes, leave immediately. Remember, don't linger here!" Xu Zhaoting said very seriously.
"Zhaoting, since it's so dangerous here, why don't we ask someone for help? Isn't Yunhua very powerful? You're friends, and he even asked you to team up this morning. Can't we ask him for help, Zhaoting?"
Xu Zhaoting remained silent. He didn't know why he didn't approach Yun Hua. He was clearly happy when Yun Hua asked him to team up today, but a strange feeling made him refuse.
"You only have ten minutes. Leave immediately when the time is up!" After saying that, Xu Zhaoting left without looking back.
Xu Zhaoting had slowly infiltrated the processing plant. The plant was very large, and there were many places to hide, so Xu Zhaoting was confident that he could protect himself.
Zhang Lulu waited outside. She had no ability to move, and all she could do now was wait outside.
Yunhua was watching all of this from behind.
As evening approached, when Yunhua felt it was about time, she contacted Xiaoti and came to their side, but they didn't notice her.
Yunhua understands Xu Zhaoting's desire to avenge his family, but there's one problem: he's too weak!
This is the real reason behind Xu Zhaoting's tragedy.
If the person who comes is Mo Fan, even if the other party sets a trap, Mo Fan can break the trap and find the other party!
But Xu Zhaoting couldn't do that. He had to make him understand this fact. Otherwise, no matter what the reason, it would be unwise to reject someone's kindness like that.
