Chapter 171 - 140. Great Escape

Chapter 171: 140. Great Escape

Yawen nodded and habitually pulled back her palm. By nature, she was not a forceful person.

Suddenly, her pupils lit up with a pale blue light.

’You, you are—’

Her gaze quickly swept over and locked onto a baby girl being carried away by other agents.

’Are you also a "Spirit Medium"? Are you calling to me?’

From several meters away, Xeno nodded at her.

’You’re not a bad person, go ahead and do what you want.’

Yawen was taken aback, a faint blue light flickered in Xeno’s eyes, and a vast amount of information was immediately transmitted into her mind.

’—Mingji Humanity, is it this kind of place?!’

The exchange between souls was incredibly fast, and to others, it seemed like a mere moment, but she had already exchanged hundreds of thoughts and emotions with Xeno.

’I understand, I understand now—so that’s why Mr. Leoz attacked Mingji Humanity, Nomi, Qiu Ran, Mr. Du Zexin... I completely understand everyone’s reason for fighting.’

Yawen clenched her fists. In just an instant, having received massive information from Xeno, she underwent a fundamental change; her eyes became resolute.

’Leoz, he needs my help now, to buy some time to allow Du Zexin to board the transport aircraft and leave.’

Xeno and Zhou Liefeng were taken away as hostages. The rotorcraft lowered its flying altitude, descending slowly, and the support personnel were about to transport them away.

Yawen turned her gaze.

Female agents sequentially found some evidence and materials. Due to the rush of time, Zhou Liefeng had no chance to destroy them and they prepared to take them away for future negotiations with the Metro Brotherhood.

She set her eyes on the gun barrel of the mobile armor.

Leoz and Nimotin were still arguing, but having dragged on for so long, they had already made everyone around quite impatient.

This time he was facing not only Nimotin but also four female soldiers. If they really became agitated, they could shoot and kill him the next moment.

Du Zexin, Xeno, and Zhou Liefeng’s evacuation still needed about three minutes... but the situation for Leoz now looked like he wouldn’t last even a minute.

’Actually, you have a talent too, but you need a little skill.’

Xeno’s voice resounded in Yawen’s heart. Yawen shivered slightly, and a vast amount of mind power techniques and advanced technologies were transmitted to her through soul communication by Xeno.

[Emotional Incitement], [Mind Intimidation], [Mental Burst], [Feeling the Heart], [Advanced Mind Reading], [Soul Interaction]—

Hmm hmm...

Yawen felt as if her brain had been struck by a hammer; she bowed her head slightly, then her eyes flashed with a complex expression.

These were all advanced knowledge—psychology, paranormal studies, folklore—very comprehensive for a "Spirit Medium."

But these were not things an infant at her age should bear at this stage.

’Thank you for trusting me, Xeno.’

Yawen lifted her head and followed after that female agent.

Slap!

The next moment, Yawen firmly slapped her across the face, breaking her breathing mask on the spot, her eyes gleaming with a pale blue light. Her usually gentle voice now echoed with a chilling mysterious reverberation:

"You knew I am dressed in this elite skin, yet you still thought to challenge me?"

[Mind Shaking]

"You—you actually hit me?"

The slapped female agent finally came to her senses, the spiritual power-infused strike left her momentarily stunned, and then the wind from the Outer World sobered her up again; she shivered and quickly said:

"I was joking, I didn’t mean—"

Slap!

Yawen stepped on her face and said coldly:

"Wearing this uniform means I am your superior, and it doesn’t matter how I decide to use you—hey, did you hear that? You’re lucky to have bumped into me just giving you a beating; if you had encountered other leaders, you’d die without even knowing how."

As she spoke, she quietly unleashed [Emotional Incitement].

"Yes, yes, I’m sorry—"

The female agent was immediately overwhelmed by Yawen’s aura and hurriedly apologized.

Smack, smack, smack.

"Oh?" Yawen bent down, patting the swelling cheek of the other woman, her golden-green eyes full of scorn: "Oh, what did you do wrong? I am merely teaching you, right?"

"Yes, you teach well..."

Slap!

Yawen gave the female agent another slap, jokingly said:

"Ah, haha, so beating someone also counts as teaching, huh? Well then, I’ll reluctantly hit you a few more times!"

Her acting was not impressive, but seen through the soul’s vision—the emotions of the surrounding crowd wove continuously, shaking the soul threads.

Yawen didn’t need to force herself to hear, as the soul threads transmitted inner voices:

’Isn’t this way too much?’

’She’s just a rabid donkey when poked where it hurts, really.’

’Just wearing some elite skin, and bullying the weak, what kind of heroine is that.’

Very good, very good, that’s it...

Yawen thought to herself.

People empathize with the weaker side, especially when witnessing the strongbullying the weak; they subconsciously sympathize with the weaker party.

Yawen’s fingertips lightly stirred, tightening the threads of spiritual power.

Emotions amplify—empathy.

As she bullied and deployed her spirit medium skills, the surrounding Fourth Rule female agents could no longer stand by.

"Hey, hey, hey, that’s enough,"

one female agent said discontentedly as she stepped forward to intervene:

"She already apologized. What more do you want?"

"Just sticking to the facts," Yawen felt very awkward but still managed to feign scorn, "This is helping her step out of her comfort zone. Girls should help each other out, don’t you understand?"

She kept one hand behind her back, manipulating the threads of spirituality, continuing to incite.

The agent in front of her became furious:

"To hell with that, your attitude is way too much!"

"And what about it?"

Yawen shrugged, against her better judgment adopting the usual tone of Fourth Rule agents:

"Leaving aside the facts, is there really anything wrong with me?"

"Fuck you!"

The intervening female agent couldn’t hold back and threw a punch at Yawen.

The moment the punch was thrown, her rational thinking completely collapsed.

’Plan successful.’

Yawen slightly shook her head, dodging the punch. The emotions had been fully stirred; she waved her hand, grabbing a bunch of spiritual threads invisible to mortals.

Emotional Infection—Spread!

Madness and anger instantly spread to every agent around, and they forgot their tasks, rushing at Yawen to fight her.

Yawen fought as she retreated, activating [Spiritual World Sprint], the majority of Fourth Rule agents, being [Martial Artists], couldn’t catch up with her.

"Hey! What’s wrong with your people?"

Wolf Badger’s captain, Uzida, frowned as she noticed the messy infighting and discontentedly said:

"Nimotin, stop the fucking interrogations and manage your people, damn it! At this rate, they are going to kill each other."

Nimotin glanced over, quite astonished.

—Agent Yawen was usually gentle and considerate, why was she being chased and attacked?

She was too engaged to leave, as Leoz had already spit out several key pieces of information, and there was still one piece of information that was particularly significant to her.

Leoz watched the commotion on Yawen’s side, thoughtfully.

[Xeno’s help again, huh... The favorability of 501 is truly unmatched.]

Due to Yawen’s disruption, the agents were too preoccupied to pay attention to this side. Leoz saw Du Zexin and the others being taken onto the rotorcraft to leave the area, knowing his moment had arrived.

"I’m asking you a question; don’t look elsewhere!"

Nimotin asked sternly:

"The Rose Army, what exactly is your relationship with them?!"

Other pieces of information were major contributions, to be taken away by the Governor, only this piece of information could bring real benefits to her.

"Actually, there is no relation. They don’t even know who I am,"

Leoz said nonchalantly:

"I fooled you."

"—Huh?!" Nimotin was stunned, "So what you said before was... all fake?"

"You’re really a cunning devil, but if you had any brains, you wouldn’t be completely mindless."

Leoz said with a smile, then his tone changed abruptly:

"Time is up, you all can go die now."

This sounded utterly ridiculous to Uzida and others.

"Tsk tsk, what are you blabbering about—"

Bang!

Before she could finish, the surveillance monitor was smashed by an exploding figure!

Boom—

Nimotin reacted quickly. As soon as she saw the first signs of an exploding fireball, she promptly activated her prosthetic plugin and rolled away to dodge. When she staggeringly raised her head, the mobile armor had already been struck from above, and a towering figure stood on the damaged head of the mecha.

The place where Leoz had been standing was now empty, only leaving behind vitrified shattered sands.

Leoz’s figure had already undergone a transformation. His originally murky eyes were instantly filled with red and black, and the muscular membranes on his face turned outward, before being cunningly covered by red and black crystals.

[Overseer Form Activated]

The red and black crystal spikes prolifically grew, bone armor extended to cover his body, and crimson cracks spread all over his body, oozing flammable synthesis, turning him into a fiery torrent in an instant.

[DOMINATE ALL]

Leoz opened his mouth wide, spewing out a breath hot enough to scorch.

[Overseer · Purifying Flame]

"Let’s play the Great Escape,"

Leoz said leisurely:

"You run, I kill."
