Chapter: Chapter 233
“Sasha?” Hearing a familiar name, Leticia immediately perked up, “She’s here too?”
“You know Lady Sasha?” Yi Yujun asked with some surprise, “I thought you had no connection with our Divine Seat, I didn’t expect you to even know Lady Sasha.”
“Didn’t she tell you? Never mind, it’s useless to say this now. Can you tell me where Sasha is?” Leticia wanted to explain how she knew Sasha, but she felt it wouldn’t be good to reveal Sasha’s embarrassing moments in public.
So, she glossed over it with a laugh, skipping the topic. As long as Yi Yujun knew she knew Sasha, that was enough.
Yi Yujun was tactful and didn’t press further. Since Leticia didn’t want to talk about how she met Sasha, she wouldn’t. It wasn’t that important.
Because Leticia’s surprised reaction when she heard Sasha’s name was genuine. If Leticia could act that perfectly, then Yi Yujun would admit defeat.
“Lady Sasha was already working in this city from the beginning, so when the storm appeared, she immediately received the mission,” Yi Yujun explained the general situation to Leticia. “Although we received the support order before Lady Sasha, due to the long distance and the time needed to prepare the aircraft, we only arrived now.”
“As for Lady Sasha, she has already entered the storm ahead of us.”
Sasha had already entered the storm? Leticia immediately thought of the black aircraft she saw in the afternoon. Was Sasha the one who entered the storm in that aircraft?
“Can you contact her now?” Leticia continued to ask.
If she could contact Sasha and obtain specific information within the storm, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit for Leticia.
She could also tell Sasha what happened on shore, increasing the success rate of Sasha’s actions.
The monster’s aura was so similar to the monster creating the storm that Leticia even suspected that the monster she had just eliminated was a smaller version of the monster in the sea.
If this smaller version was so difficult to deal with, how much more formidable would the main body be? The thought alone made her scalp tingle.
If even the minor monsters had such high magic resistance, then the main body of the monster was likely saturated with magic resistance and also had considerable physical resistance. Perhaps only divine power attacks could deal effective damage to it.
Yi Yujun shook her head. She had been trying to contact Sasha on the way, but the storm seemed to have the ability to block signals. As soon as Sasha entered the storm, Yi Yujun lost contact with her.
“As expected, your communication is also down,” Leticia wasn’t surprised by this result. It seemed that the Divine Seat’s black technology wasn’t outrageously advanced.
“Speaking of which, why are you here as well?”
“Me? I came to vacation with that white-haired girl, and coincidentally ran into this mess. I’m quite annoyed right now,” Leticia said with a helpless expression. “Don’t be in a hurry to go in and help. I think the three of you wouldn’t be able to help much even if you went in, and would just become a liability.”
Leticia’s blunt evaluation made Yi Yujun’s expression stiffen. Her combat power was clearly quite good.
Although she couldn’t compare to the person in front of her or the white-haired girl who blocked her door last time, she had a significant advantage compared to ordinary psychics.
“Don’t make that face. The white-haired one has already gone into the storm to resolve the issue. If luck is on our side, they can solve it directly, but if not, then we’ll have to find a way,” Leticia explained that her opinion was well-founded and not just random talk.
“Since this small-scale monster has appeared here, I think it’s very likely that there are other clues in this city, clues that can help us defeat that monster,” Leticia said convincingly, looking so confident that Yi Yujun felt a slight thought of ‘maybe she’s right.’
But soon, she shook her head fiercely, “No, I can’t stay here. I was ordered to support Lady Sasha. Once the aircraft’s energy is replenished, I will depart immediately.”
“Then how much longer will your aircraft take to fully recharge?” Leticia asked.
Hearing this question, the short girl who had already run back to the aircraft while the two were talking immediately made a sound from inside.
Through the external loudspeaker, her voice was very clear: “It will be fully recharged soon, just two more hours.”
Two hours? Leticia looked up at the sky. It was already close to midnight. Two hours later, it would be the early morning.
The Divine Seat’s employees are also miserable, having to work overtime, and on top of that, dangerous work.
“Okay, then we will depart on time in two hours,” Yi Yujun nodded, then looked at Leticia, “Although I can’t stay here, Qin can.”
“Eh? Me?” The singer, who was called by name, was completely bewildered. Why would she, who was supposed to be the atmosphere maker, be sold off by Yi Yujun at this time?
Yi Yujun gave a very honest smile, “Compared to the other two of us, Qin doesn’t have much advantage in dealing with monsters, but she can be very useful in helping you find clues.”
Indeed, what Yi Yujun said made a lot of sense. The singer was an S-class hero herself, and her sonic ability had been enhanced after joining the Divine Seat.
When it came to dealing with ordinary people, the singer was undoubtedly a master. As soon as she opened her mouth, those with weak willpower would be controlled by her.
Conversely, she was quite powerless when dealing with mindless creatures.
And now, the enemy was clearly defined as a monster as large as a small mountain. For a monster of this caliber, the singer would probably only be able to sing a few songs to boost morale on the battlefield.
Rather than having the singer appear on a battlefield where she was suppressed, it was better for her to stay and assist Leticia in finding clues.
In terms of dealing with the monster, Yi Yujun believed that Leticia and their Divine Seat were on the same front.
Although she was blocked from her home and sent to prison last time, her life in prison was not that bad, so her resentment towards Leticia and Bai Ling wasn’t that great.
At this time, accepting cooperation was a reasonable choice, and having the singer stay here was even more reasonable.
Although from all angles, it was reasonable to have the singer stay here, from the singer’s perspective, she really didn’t want to have any involvement with Leticia.
But since Yi Yujun had already spoken, what could she, a small subordinate, do? She could only move to Leticia’s side with a bitter expression.
“Alright then, Miss Qin. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant,” Leticia said to the singer with a smile.
In fact, her main targets were precisely the singer. Yi Yujun’s impression was only that she liked to eat sweet potatoes. As for the other short girl, for some reason, Leticia felt that the girl’s mind might be a bit off.
Not that she was stupid, but she felt that the aura around her was a bit wild.
Collaborating with someone like that was not as comfortable as collaborating with a normal person like the singer, let alone the singer’s strong ability in dealing with humans.
Now she had a human brainwashing device and a human mind-reading device by her side. Any conspiracy or trickery would be transparent before them.
“Qin, get along well with Lady Leticia. I’ll come back to pick you up when things are resolved,” Yi Yujun winked at the singer.
The singer immediately choked on her words, You know this person is called Leticia!
Then she, a former hero who had fought demons for so many years, was to be left here, with the Demon King named Leticia Infinite?
Wow, this was too unbearable.
But Yi Yujun didn’t feel anything wrong with it. She yawned, “Since we’ve agreed, I’ll go back and rest. I have to fight later, so I need to replenish my energy.”
“Mhmhmhm, I wish you good luck,” Leticia waved goodbye to Yi Yujun.
After Yi Yujun returned to the aircraft, Leticia turned to look at the reluctant Miss Qin and showed a rather kind smile, “Alright, Miss Qin, let’s go.”
The singer sighed again and nodded.
On the way back, Leticia looked up and down, left and right, at the singer, who seemed to have become even more beautiful, “I think you’ve become prettier than the last time we met.”
“That kind of conversation starter is very old-fashioned, Your Majesty Leticia. Just say what you want to say directly.”
“It’s really just that you’ve become prettier than last time. Also, later you have to call me Miss Qian Qian, you know? I don’t want so many people to know my identity as a Demon King,” Leticia said to the singer very seriously.
It wasn’t surprising that the singer knew her true identity. The Divine Seat was so mysterious, their intelligence system must be very powerful. Besides, Sasha had already seen her. It wouldn’t be a problem if Sasha directly drew a portrait of her after returning to the Divine Seat.
With that, how could the singer not know Su Qian Qian’s true identity?
“Understood, Miss Qian Qian,” the singer nodded, and then, her expression became conflicted. After a difficult mental struggle, she asked a question she had always wanted to ask, “Why are you helping humans at this time?”
“Ah, this question is a bit difficult for me to answer. Actually, I’ve always wanted to just slip away and not bother with this mess. After all, this is all caused by you humans, and it has nothing to do with me as a demon. I have no reason to shed blood and sweat for you humans,” Leticia said nonchalantly, resting her head on her hands. “If you were in the demon world and encountered something like this that had nothing to do with you, wouldn’t you pretend not to see it?”
“Perhaps I would even clap my hands and cheer,” the singer said with a distant look in her eyes. Her impression of demons was very poor, so gloating was normal.
Who wouldn’t be happy when their enemy encountered problems? At least the singer didn’t have a broad mind (in the psychological sense) to be able to avoid gloating.
Leticia was surprised by the singer’s honesty and was speechless for a moment.
She was also not a very broad-minded girl (in every sense of the word), so she understood the singer’s thoughts very well.
“Me? My thoughts are similar to yours, but I’m concerned about my reputation, you know? I hate losing face in front of others the most,” Leticia said softly, kicking her feet. “If I left at this time, I wouldn’t be able to hold my head up anymore.”
If everyone who knew her in the future said that the Demon King was a coward who fled from battle, it would be unacceptable to Leticia.
If only Bai Ling knew, it would be fine, but the leader and the others had also seen Leticia. Leticia could no longer escape.
“Are you telling me this to tell me that Demon Kings also have flaws?” the singer asked, somewhat confused.
“No, I just want to tell you that I’m also unwilling. If we two unwilling people work together and don’t clarify things, the work efficiency will likely be extremely low,” Leticia pouted.
The singer immediately raised an objection, “I won’t let my personal emotions interfere with my work.”
“Wow, then you’re really amazing. If I had to cooperate with someone I disliked, it would be good if I didn’t cause trouble,” Leticia didn’t hide her pettiness, and instead, she seemed to think it was normal. “It seems I’m judging others by my own standards.”
With a twitch of her eyes, the singer felt that this Demon King was quite different from what she had imagined.
Such a straightforward Demon King made her feel unexpectedly easy to get along with.
“Ah, we’re here. Go and meet your juniors. Compared to me, your cooperation with them is the main thing,” Leticia said, pointing to the leader, who was looking around not far away, as they walked out from the corner.
Seeing the somewhat familiar gray-haired girl, the singer almost couldn’t maintain her composure, “Her again?”
“Still holding a grudge for being chased by her last time?” Leticia chuckled. “This time, you can relax. She’s on our side.”
“I know, but isn’t my identity a bit awkward?” The singer spread her hands helplessly. She was a traitor to the Hero Association. It felt a bit wrong to appear so openly in front of two active heroes now.
Leticia immediately patted the singer’s back (she couldn’t reach her shoulders), “Don’t worry. The leader knows what’s more important right now, and with me vouching for you, it’s fine.”
“Let’s hope so. I hope they don’t just rush up and arrest me,” the singer was still a bit worried, but it was too late to back out now that they had come this far.
Besides, there was a Demon King watching her. She couldn’t escape.
