Chapter 58 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 058: Need to Engage in the Main Plot In the end, Li Meng left. She had no other choice as Nan Yin had firmly rejected her offer of a new home—even though it was said to be a luxurious villa with both a beach and a swimming pool, Nan Yin still adhered to the principle that wealth should not lead to immoral behaviour, and that it’s better to have less if it does not belong to oneself. Before leaving, the second young lady of Long Qian group left some angry words behind: "Nan Yin! You will regret refusing me!" This was because no one had ever declined an offer from Miss Li Meng, making Nan Yin the first. However, Nan Yin did not care whether Li Meng would remember her over such matters as after all, she was simply a cannon fodder villain and was bound not to cross paths too much with these righteous female leads. As for the last time, Nan Yin would rather not save the capricious young lady if Can Yin hadn't unexpectedly issued the mission to save Li Meng. After all, such tsun-tsun girls should really be handed over to the male lead to tame. Wait, speaking of this, Nan Yin finally thought of the true crux of the problem - why had things been so calm lately? Speaking of which, Can Yin hadn't issued a mission for a long time, which was quite unusual for Nan Yin. After all, this system seemed to wish it could assign her three or four tasks within a single day in the past. Very abnormal! With this thought, Nan Yin opened her task panel. After confirming again that it was not because there was something wrong with her eyes but because there were really no new tasks, the white-haired girl casually pulled at the physical system menu. As a result, a tiny creature who appeared to be just sleeping rolled out from the edge of the menu. She had a head of white mini long hair same as Nan Yin and was wearing a cute set of pyjamas—it couldn’t be anyone but Can Yin right? At the moment, she was stretching her tiny hands to rub her eyes while sleepily looking towards Nan Yin, seemingly puzzled as to why Nan Yin would suddenly look for her. Regardless of whether Can Yin had just woken up, Nan Yin straightforwardly expressed her doubts. After listening, Can Yin immediately came to an understanding. She blinked her burgundy eyes and finally let out a thought bubble: 【Your tasks all have something to do with the main plot, but recently you've not been looking for the male lead Su Xiao Yu. How can we assign you tasks...】 Nan Yin paused, she hadn’t considered this point. But speaking of the main plot... She couldn't help but think of a piece of news she saw this morning. The protagonist of the news was naturally our male lead, Su Xiao Yu and Chen Yi. ………… Meanwhile, in the Bingting Building a few dozens of kilometers away from Nan Yin, it was already sealed off by the Tianzhou police force and all unrelated personnel had been dispersed. On the thirteenth floor of the Bingting Building, a man dressed in a black police uniform was leading a team of special police forces in the pursuit of a crimson ghost shadow alongside a silver-haired cat-ear man. What they were chasing was a fleeing bloody shadow. "Dammit! How can this blood servant run so fast!" Su Xiao Yu, seeing that the ghost shadow was getting further away, couldn't help but curse. When Chen Yi and Su Xiao Yu found the "Evil Spirit" hiding in the Bingting Building library according to the clues they inferred earlier, it indeed turned out to be a blood servant! A blood servant was a human that underwent mutation upon being fed by the blood tribe with poisonous blood. Although the creatures generally have low intelligence, they instinctively avoid steely and righteous warriors such as Chen Yi and Su Xiao Yu, ensuing the spectacle of a horde of policemen chasing an evil spirit. "Officer Chen, is there a way to stop him?" Seeing that the blood servant was about to reach the exit, Su Xiao Yu asked anxiously. He was a monster confining master, not good at fighting at all, and now he could only ask Chen Yi, who had extensive experience. It's easy to catch this ghost in the building, but once it escapes into a crowded public place, it might really get away. "..." Hearing Su Xiao Yu’s question, Chen Yi's figure tensed up. He grabbed the unusual blue weapon at his waist and yanked it out! Bang! Bang! Bang! The whiteness of wave energy saturating ammunition flew towards the evil spirit in wave-like bursts. Chen Yi left the blood servant alive for investigation, and even intentionally didn’t aim directly at it. If he did, the evil spirit might have been directly obliterated. "Roar!" The blood servant perceived the danger and dodged nimbly, completely avoiding several bullets. But just as those bullets passed by the blood servant, they suddenly expanded into spots of silver light and finally condensed into a white energy wall blocking the blood servant's route. Su Xiao Yu gave a thumbs up to Chen Yi upon seeing this. "Roar!" As expected, the blood servant, seeing its path being blocked, roared and rushed towards Su Xiao Yu with its huge mouth wide open. "Great timing!" Su Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Yi, who had already landed, ready to lend a hand at any time, and quickly retreated. His hand flashed white light, and the silver-white talisman seal imprinted in the air! "Demonic Beast Thousand Tactics Skill"! Divine Fire Talisman Seal! This was merely an illusion of the real mark. After all, given Su Xiao Yu's current level of cultivation, there was no way he could activate the real seal, so he had to make do with this. "Mystery Ice Divine Fire!" Su Xiao Yu shouted, calling upon his spiritual power. The imprint illusion dissipated in his palm, and then a white flame exuding extreme cold breath flowed out of his sleeve, condensing into a fist-sized fireball. Su Xiao Yu could not afford to delay. The blood servant was incredibly fast and was close to him by the time the fireball was ready. Therefore, he had to quickly throw the fireball. "Boom!" "Roar!" The fireball hit the chest of the blood servant accurately, and the white business fire instantly spread on the body of the blood servant, like maggots gnawing on bones. "Roar! Roar!" The blood servant seemed to be in great pain. It stood still and roared fiercely, using its limited blood power to try to extinguish the flames. Seeing that his level of cultivation was still low, the Mystery Ice Divine Fire was only a lower-level illusion. So the fact that it could burn the blood servant was already a good sign. Therefore, Su Xiao Yu could not be complacent and quickly gathered his handprints. "Demonic Beast. Purification"! "Whoosh!" The white flame flashed! "Roar!" With a loud shout from Su Xiao Yu, all the spiritual power gathered in his Dantian. He intuitively understood, and directly mastered the "Leading Fire" exclusive to a fourth-order Demonic Beast Master! The spiritual power that was circulating around Su Xiao Yu's Dantian, under his subtle manipulation, turned into tiny threads of spiritual power that were injected into the Dantian. As the skill was activated, with Su Xiao Yu’s murmured spell words, those infused spiritual powers slowly gathered, surprisingly directly forming those spell words! “Boom!” The spiritual power words formed at an astonishing speed. The moment they formed, Su Xiao Yu felt an unknown connection with an unknown existence... All of this happened in a flash. The blood servant only advanced five meters during this time. "Sizz!" White flames emerged from Su Xiao Yu's body and quickly formed a ring of fire around him. This time it was not a flame illusion, but a real—Mystery Ice Divine Fire! "Boom!...Woo!" The blood servant, caught off guard, violently collided with the white flame ring conjured by Su Xiao Yu. Comparing the blood servant to a magnet, then the white flames were the attracted steel. The fire ring made up of the Mystery Ice Divine Fire, which was as quiet as a virgin but moved like a rabbit, and had a fire attribute yet emitting an extremely cold aura, flowed directly into the body of the blood servant. "Bang!" The bloody aura permeating the air made Su Xiao Yu, who was unfortunately close, quite dirty. The blood servant was unexpectedly dispersed by the Mystery Ice Divine Fire flowing into its body, thus its soul was dispersed on the spot. Chen Yi: ... "Su Xiao Yu, well done. Our witness has been purified by you.” Su Xiao Yu: ??? So it’s dead now? You mean purification is to kill? You're not afraid of the other party leaving a bad review if you physically purify? Initially, Su Xiao Yu planned to use the Mystery Ice Divine Fire to confine the blood servant and then use the cleansing method recorded in the family's ancestral law to purify the blood servant. Unexpectedly, the Mystery Ice Divine Fire killed the blood servant itself, causing the creature to dissipate... "Buzz!" Suddenly, an extremely eerie breath enveloped Su Xiao Yu, forcing him to return to reality from his thoughts. At this moment, the soul aura emitted by the blood servant he had just killed had already dissipated, and a ball of red energy substance flew out from it, rapidly heading towards the outside of the building at an alarming speed! Seeing this, Su Xiao Yu quickly pulled out the palm thunder talisman that he didn't have time to use earlier, but found that he couldn't aim at the red light group. "Officer Chen..." "Whoosh!" Before Su Xiao Yu could finish, a silver-white sword energy directly flew towards the increasingly distant light group. Just as the sword energy was about to wipe out the light group, the red light group suddenly made an S-shaped movement! The sword energy exploded in mid-air! Are you playing QQ Speed? You can make S-shaped movements? Caught off guard, Su Xiao Yu was stunned. The others from the special police squad who had failed to catch up with them earlier had already rushed over. "That light..." "We must hurry after it, I feel it has a significant connection with the appearance of the blood servant. If it falls into another crowded area, it will be disastrous!" Su Xiao Yu naturally had no objections, and the two of them began to quickly chase in the direction the light group had disappeared. Su Xiao Yu decided it was best to give a helping hand to the very end. After all, one must keep their arsenal stocked in a battle, and besides, as a Beast Confinement Master, his heart was already imprinted with the belief of purifying filth. ................... Meanwhile, in Central Park near the Bingting Building, in front of a fountain, a girl dressed in a white dress gently opened her hand and the red light group disappeared into the purple rune on her wrist. The pedestrians passing by the girl seemed to completely overlook this strange scene, each carrying on with their own business. "They....failed." In the girl's soft murmur, a man dressed in a black suit standing beside her saw a hint of sadness in her hollow and spiritless eyes. "It was inevitable given it was Chen Yi who took action," the man shook his head as he replied. "They'll be here soon, Number Three, we should leave." The man touched the brim of his hat, gesturing to a spot on the girl's neck. The girl paused as a purple light flashed across the black collar on her neck. The man then took her hand and they disappeared into the shadows of the building behind them. Moments later, sirens blared, and Chen Yi and the others arrived at the spot just after the girl and the man had left. "Damn...how come the trail disappears here?" Su Xiao Yu, looking at the compass in his hand which had ceased to respond, angrily punched the nearby lamppost. The loud sound and the sight of the special police officers in black uniforms attracted curious glances from the public in the park. "It seems...we're a step late." Chen Yi, activating his ability to sense the environmental elements around them, said, "Someone had just used a high-level spatial ability here. It's likely that they teleported away." "They? The same group as last time?" Su Xiao Yu looked gloomy. The same group had already hindered them during the mansion blood case last time, and now the opposition had even deployed a spatial ability user, making things more challenging. You must know, spatial abilities were considered the rarest among the ten special powers. A spatial ability user was an exceptionally rare existence anywhere, always nurtured as the potential linchpin by any force. And this was not to mention a spatial ability user that could competently use high-level teleportation. Chen Yi, as the chief police superintendent of Tianzhou, could at best achieve rapid short-distance teleportation, which showed that the spatial ability user they were dealing with was at least at the same level as Chen Yi, a forbidden ability user! "Alright, it seems they were prepared long ago. They have not left any pertinent clues here," Chen Yi examined the surrounding situation, his face slightly solemn: "That's enough, there's no use being angry. Let's go back and sort out recent case information first. If there's no other way, it seems we really have to seek support from the Joint College Council".
