Chapter 482: Chapter 371: A Small Conspiracy?
"Eh? Could it be?" Little Zi was surprised. She could tell if someone was lying based on their mental state, but she couldn’t figure out why they were lying. Of course, it would be easier if she could directly read their memories. However, Long Yi needed this half-ally to live a little longer.
"Actually, judging a person is simple, you just need to see what their end goal is. As a spy planted by the Black Dragon Empire in the White Dragon Empire, his only purpose is to kill me. He knows that you’re always with me, yet he still chooses to lie, the outcome is pretty clear."
Long Yi said.
"So, are we still going to find that prostitute?" Little Zi asked.
"Find, of course we need to find!" Long Yi said with a smile, "Since we don’t know what they want to do, we have to go and see for ourselves."
No matter how intense the war, as long as the flames have not spread, some places will always be crowded.
This was Long Yi’s first visit to the well-known red-light district in the Imperial City. Strangely enough, despite spending countless nights lonely with Little Left and Little Right, Long Yi had never thought of coming to such a place.
Since it was daytime, almost all the establishments were still closed. However, there were exceptions.
This is a small bar, all staffed by young women. Because of the well-known dual business, this place would be much busier at night than during the day. However, there were still plenty of people during the daytime.
But now, the cause of the crowd was not the short skirts that barely covered their beautiful bottoms in the cold weather, but the corpse inside the bar.
Pushing through the crowd, Long Yi entered the bar.
A young woman, naked, lay on the floor almost bisected, with a hint of hellish breath seeping from the wound.
"Matches Roslein’s memories, it’s her, the body is still warm, she must have just died, but her soul is gone, probably forcibly pulled out of the body." Little Zi said after a glance.
"We went to find Toen, and she’s dead. Hehe, it seems that these bastards really don’t intend to fight fair with us?" With a somewhat insincere smile, Little Zi could clearly feel, Long Yi was beginning to get impatient.
What Long Yi was best at was fighting, but he particularly disliked these roundabout intrigues. These plots and schemes would make Long Yi angry in advance.
For example, now, Little Zi can already feel that Long Yi’s pace had become much heavier.
Long Yi came to the beautiful boss lady, showing his teeth that shone with a cold light: "Babe, can you tell me what happened?"
Who in the Imperial City didn’t recognize Long Yi’s intimidating presence? When the madam saw Long Yi appear, her first reaction was that things were not as simple as they seemed. Because according to urban legends, there were no small matters wherever Long Yi showed up. So she tremblingly gave a brief account of the situation.
It turned out that they opened their doors as usual for business today. A tall man, taller than Long Yi, came first. He was tightly wrapped, displaying only a pair of eyes. However, from his hands and the skin around his eyes, they could see that he was dark-skinned. The man asked for the deceased by name as soon as he arrived. But as soon as they met, the man suddenly struck with the edge of his hand.
And, this was the result.
While Long Yi was asking questions here, Little Zi had gone to the deceased’s side, placing her hands on the woman’s head. Although the soul was no longer there, and it was impossible to get memories directly from the soul, Little Zi was not stumped.
An avatar of the female demon left Little Zi’s body and attached to the fallen woman. Almost simultaneously, the fallen woman opened her eyes, and the memories originally in the brain were drawn out by Little Zi.
"How is it?" Long Yi came over.
"Toen was right about one thing, this woman is indeed a minor character, she doesn’t know much. However, she had firsthand information about the Black Knight." Little Zi said.
Based on the woman’s memories, Little Zi reproduced all the impressions of that bulky man. The uncontrollable forces of hell all over his body, the swift and deadly blow. There was no hesitation, and after killing the woman, he immediately pulled out her soul, completing the whole process fluidly.
"Eight Dragon Marks power."
Little Zi finally said.
"F**k."
Long Yi cursed.
He had already guessed that this Black Knight couldn’t possibly be weak, but isn’t eight dragon marks too exaggerated? Such a group of bastards are in the Imperial City, capable of causing havoc at any time!
But why haven’t they done so?
Because...
Me!
Long Yi made a bold guess.
Who’s in charge of the Black Dragon Empire now? Yake Black!
Who created this Black knight for the Black Dragon Empire? Tilian Kandela!
And these two people have a common enemy, that is me!
If they’re laying this trap in the Imperial City, the only possible goal is to deal with me!
Well, good! Come on! Let me see, with just five Black Knights, how you plan to defeat me!
Long Yi’s face revealed some ferocity. He turned to face the mistress: "Don’t let this get out. When the City Defense Army arrives, tell them this matter needs to be kept secret, and don’t report it to the higher-ups yet. Also, the body must be strictly guarded! Understand?"
The mistress was startled and quickly nodded.
"Let’s go!"
Long Yi was indeed very angry. This whole thing was squarely aimed at him. These bastards were really asking for it!
As they walked down the street, Long Yi’s face was stern.
Little Zi’s expression was also cold and stern.
After a long time, they walked past a deserted corner.
Little Zi suddenly squeezed a few words out from between his teeth: "Brother Long, how much longer are we going to keep these faces on?"
Without turning his gaze, Long Yi spat out a few words from between his teeth: "Where’s the observer?"
"He’s long gone."
"Damn, you should have told me earlier. Keeping this stern face is killing me." His serious face disappeared in an instant, and Long Yi vigorously massaged his own face.
"I thought you were going to use it for something else." Little Zi grinned.
"Did you keep up with them?"
"Don’t worry, both of my avatars have invisibly followed them. We will have results soon," Little Zi said.
"That’s good. I was thinking, how could that bastard not watch everything after setting up so many operations?" Long Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, there was a sudden "caw" from the sky. Following that, a red figure fell from the sky and transformed into a girl in front of Long Yi.
"Dandi?" Long Yi was a little surprised. Wasn’t Dandi tracking the scent of Hell? Why did she suddenly appear here?
"Brother Long! I have a bit of good news and bad news!" Dandi said urgently.
"Start with the bad news," Long Yi said.
"Rongka has assembled a special squad from Hell which has already reached the Human Realm. Their aim is to assist Yake in defeating the White Dragon Empire. The squad is currently stationed in the Black Dragon Empire, but without Rongka’s orders, Yake cannot freely move the squad. Moreover, due to the rules of the Human Realm, the strength of this squad has been greatly reduced," Dandi said.
"What’s the good news then?"
"The good news is that Rongka has once again sent a Yaksha squad to assist Ka Zan in scouting the White Dragon Empire. They are currently parasitizing humans, ready to enter the White Dragon Empire at any time," Dandi said.
"How did you learn about this?" Long Yi asked curiously. Could the Blood Ravens communicate over long distances?
"Among the Yaksha that were sent this time, one is my friend. Like me, she was not completely infected and still maintained an independent consciousness," Dandi said. "And the human she is parasitizing is one of those who escorted the Black Knight this time. Unfortunately, that person is not the controller. When I discovered her, she immediately responded to my resonance - we Blood Ravens have a special method of information exchange, and it was her who told me all this. She is very envious that I was able to complete the final evolution. She told me that this time’s Black Knights are newly completed experiments from the Black Dragon Empire who have not battle-tested yet. Yake is treating this time as a display experiment for the Black Knights, and my friend is the recorder of this experiment."
"So, what does she have to say about the Black Knights? I’m in desperate need of any information about them."
"These Black Knights are different from those of Hell, they are not as powerful, and they only have the power of eight Dragon Marks. Moreover, they need human controllers to fight effectively. They are good at close-quarter combat, have exceptionally strong defenses, and ordinary Fighting Aura can’t penetrate their defenses. As for attacks, due to their need for controllers, they are not so agile. But their lethality is very high. Each of their punches layers damage, which means that their attacks will cause increasingly higher damage to you. That’s all I know."
Dandi said.
Long Yi nodded: "That’s enough! By the way, where are they hiding?"
"I don’t know where the Black Knights are, and the controllers have been changing locations. My friend is a Yaksha, so she merely follows the controllers and records. She doesn’t know the details of this Black Knight operation," Dandi said.
"If we don’t know, we don’t know. Little Zi’s avatars have gone to track them, and once they are found, we will go immediately. I want to see how they plan to play me!"

At this moment, inside a secret shack, three men in black were waiting anxiously. Suddenly, there was a hurried knock at the door. Although it was urgent, it had a certain pattern.
"They’re back!"
One person’s face lit up in delight.
The door was opened from the inside, and outside stood three men in black too. The difference was that one of them had completely blood-red eyes.
"How did it go?"
A man asked urgently.
"As we predicted, Long Yi was furious in the face of the whore’s corpse. That bastard really isn’t good at any sort of intrigues. Once his best tactic, a direct fight, becomes ineffective, he will begin to lose control." One of them said.
"Good, then next... Long Yi should have followed you here, shouldn’t he!" Another man with a strange smile suddenly asked. (To be continued.
