Chapter 149 Green Hair, No Eyebrows, Shadow Demon?
Chapter 149 Green Hair, No Eyebrows, Shadow Demon?
Chen Yifan stopped when he stepped onto the first step of his villa.
He didn't turn around.
The skin on the back of my neck had an indescribable sensation.
It was as if a huge, cold, wet compound eye was pressed against the back of his neck, observing his nerve bundles, his spine, and every capillary under his skin inch by inch.
All the muscle fibers in the body are stretched to their limit within 0.1 seconds.
The sound of his heart pumping blood was deafeningly loud in his ears.
He forcefully suppressed all his instinctive urge to turn around.
The perception of "Mind's Eye" has already spread out like mercury.
However, in his perceived world, there was nothing behind him.
But the feeling of being watched became clearer and more intense.
There's nowhere to hide.
There was nowhere to hide.
"who!"
Chen Yifan twisted his body abruptly, his voice filled with suppressed ruthlessness.
Behind me, only the night wind blew through the courtyard, rustling the leaves.
There was nothing there.
That persistent, nagging feeling vanished without a trace the moment he turned around.
Chen Yifan's back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
He trusted his own judgment.
The other party could approach without him noticing, and then retreat in the blink of an eye.
This level of strength was completely beyond his comprehension.
Chen Yifan stood still, motionless, like a statue instantly frozen in ice.
He compressed the range of his [Mind's Eye] perception to an extreme degree, concentrating it all within a thirty-meter radius around him, wary of any disturbance in energy.
Time passed, second by second.
Just as his nerves were about to snap, and he thought the other person had already left.
A man's voice, tinged with amusement but devoid of any discernible emotion, came unexpectedly from the treetop above him.
"The response is good."
"No wonder he's the only beneficiary of the Hundred Faces Incident."
Chen Yifan's pupils contracted in an instant.
He suddenly looked up.
On the thickest branch of the tall sycamore tree in front of the villa, someone was sitting.
The man wore a strange, dark green robe embroidered with twisted vine patterns in gold thread, which flickered in the night.
A face so handsome it was almost otherworldly.
There were no eyebrows on that face.
His hair, in particular, was a series of dark green vines that seemed to possess life, slowly unfurling in the night breeze.
Green hair...no eyebrows...
These two characteristics combined were like a black lightning bolt, instantly striking deep into Chen Yifan's memory!
Shadow Fiend!!!
He...wasn't he already dead?!
Chen Yifan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
"Who are you?"
His voice was hoarse and dry.
Chen Yifan did not choose to escape.
Behind him is his home.
Can't escape!
We cannot escape.
He knew that in the face of such an existence, any act of defiance was tantamount to suicide.
Moreover, the strangest thing is that his "Mind's Eye" state is always active.
This person is clearly visible to the naked eye.
嗏
In the [Mind's Eye] spiritual perception, there is nothing there!
"I?"
The man in the tree smiled, a smile that carried the indifference of someone looking down at an anthill.
"You can call me Lin Sen."
Lin Sen?
The name was searched rapidly in Chen Yifan's memory bank, but the result was a blank.
"You called me, is there something you need?"
Chen Yifan forced himself to calm down.
The fact that the other party did not take immediate action indicates that there is no immediate danger.
But his pointing out the "Hundred Faces Incident" and his face being no different from the "Shadow Demon" is abnormal in itself.
At this moment, his brain was working at an unprecedented speed, ready to analyze every piece of information in the other person's next words.
"take it easy."
Lin Sen lightly leaped down from the tree trunk.
It landed silently, like a feather.
He walked towards Chen Yifan step by step, each step landing with a soft thud.
On the grass at the other person's feet, several unknown little flowers that emit a faint glow will suddenly appear out of nowhere, and then quickly wither away.
"I came here simply to see it with my own eyes."
"Let's see what that little guy who stirred up trouble in Jiangcheng looks like."
His tone was as if he were commenting on an interesting work of art.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Chen Yifan's face displayed just the right amount of bewilderment and vigilance.
Pretending to be stupid is his only option at this moment.
"hehe."
Lin Sen smiled again. He walked to within two meters of Chen Yifan and stopped.
A scent mixed with the smell of grass and decaying earth wafted over him, and Chen Yifan felt as if countless poisonous vines were wrapped around his neck, making it difficult to breathe.
"Is it still going on?"
Lin Sen shook his head. His eyes were those of an adult looking at a child who had been caught lying on the spot, filled with helplessness and pity.
"You did a great job, really."
"Whether it's eliminating Bai Xiang through official channels, or watching from the sidelines in the Black Wind Gobi Desert, they can then perfectly collect all the spoils of war."
"Every step you take is wonderful."
These words are more lethal than any physical attack.
Chen Yifan's mind was not blank; on the contrary, he began to think at a burning speed.
How did he know?!
"Surprised?"
Lin Sen looked at the undisguised shock on Chen Yifan's face and seemed quite satisfied with the effect.
"No need to guess, you'll never guess."
He extended a finger, the tip of which was wrapped with a wisp of emerald green, vibrant energy.
"Including... the sandalwood box in Bai Xiang's storage ring that you can't open at all."
My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and it almost stopped beating.
Who is this guy who looks just like Shadow Fiend?!
What is the relationship between this and Bai Xiang?
How do they know exactly what's in the other person's storage ring?
An unprecedented sense of panic rushed to my head.
But soon, it was replaced by an even deeper, bone-chilling cold.
Was this person here for that box?
"What... exactly do you want?"
Chen Yifan's voice was extremely dry and hoarse.
Faced with absolute power and intelligence superiority, any pretense or scheme appears pale and laughable.
"Not very good."
Lin Sen withdrew his finger, and the smile on his face became meaningful.
"I told you, I just came to take a look."
"You've surprised me quite a bit..."
"So, I've changed my mind and will show you a way out."
His gaze fell on Chen Yifan, as if piercing through his flesh and looking straight into the depths of his soul.
"Not bad, your spiritual energy is concentrated and not scattered, and it is beginning to take shape. Unfortunately, it is still far from sufficient."
"The greatest relic of Bai Xiang is not those skill books, nor [Agen's Gaze], but that sandalwood box."
"Because inside lies the [Key Fragment - Image]."
"Now, it's brought you enormous trouble. Because I've got my eye on you."
Lin Sen's voice turned cold.
"So, I'm giving you a choice."
"Hand it over to the Dragon Kingdom officials personally."
"or……"
"I took it with my own hands, and you... die."
