Chapter: Chapter 92
“Are there so many alleys in the central city…” Grabbing Chiyara, Leticia quickly weaved through the dark alleys of the quiet district.
She had lost track of Shirayuki, for reasons unknown, but the white-haired girl had indeed disappeared behind her.
A faint mist enveloped the two girls, and if they concentrated, they could see black shadows flickering in the mist from time to time.
“Sister, something’s not right.” Chiyara frowned, looking at the mist that surrounded her. How could there be fog in this weather?
“I know, but I’ve really lost my sense of direction.” Leticia squeezed Chiyara’s hand. This uncertainty made her gradually regain her past feelings.
This mist, which could blind her senses, was definitely no ordinary thing.
Whoosh—An arrow shot out from the mist, aimed directly at Leticia’s forehead.
Leticia’s eyes narrowed, and her body automatically erected a magic shield with complex patterns in front of her before her brain could react.
Bang!
The arrow hit the shield, and at the moment of impact, the unstable substance in the arrow underwent an irreversible transformation under the strong impact.
A small explosion, not a great pressure for the magic shield.
“Tsk, a sneak attack?” Looking around, Leticia still couldn’t find where the attacker was hiding.
The mist severely interfered with her senses, and she could only use the most primitive method to find her enemy.
This feeling of being blinded in both ears and eyes made Leticia quite annoyed.
At the same time, she was also searching her memory, trying to figure out the origin of this mist, which could trap even her, the Demon King.
Ordinary illusions couldn’t trap Leticia, and even illusions released by Chiyara could only restrict Leticia for a few minutes at most.
But this mist had been interfering with Leticia’s perception for more than ten minutes, and even Leticia felt like she would be trapped for even longer.
Because she still hadn’t found any way to break free.
“Sister, calm down.” Chiyara said softly, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be ‘Mist City,’ an ancient artifact that has been lost for a long time.”
“I didn’t expect there to be someone among humans who could activate it.”
“Artifact?” Leticia was stunned for a moment. She had heard of this word before, but wasn’t it all just deceitful stuff?
The throne she used to sit on was called an artifact, but wasn’t it just an ordinary big chair?
“Although I really want to tell you everything, Sister, this doesn’t seem like a good place to talk.” Seeing the white monster gradually taking shape from the mist, Chiyara couldn’t help but frown.
These things were really disgusting.
“Is this something that comes with the mist?” Leticia waved her hand, and those monsters were blown into white sculptures by the whistling cold wind.
“According to historical records, ‘Mist City’ only has the ability to confuse people. These things should have been released by the mastermind behind the scenes,” Chiyara shook her head.
According to historical records?!
Didn’t that book only record some vague myths and legends? Where were the proper records?
Hearing Leticia’s suddenly more obvious breathing, Chiyara probably guessed what her sister was thinking, “The true content of the historical records can only be revealed through certain means. What you saw, Sister, is just a disguise of the historical records.”
“Also, can’t you take off your mask, Sister? I can’t see your expression like this.”
“It’s a bit uncomfortable to wear.” Leticia didn’t object to her sister’s suggestion. She really didn’t like the mask on her face.
Although it was quite beautiful, having something covering her face always made her a little unhappy.
Taking off her hood and moving the mask to the side of her head, Leticia’s expression was very serious.
But Chiyara wasn’t as nervous as Leticia, “Don’t worry, Sister. Although ‘Mist City’ is difficult to break, its attack power is almost zero. Those sneak attacks are all the work of the person activating ‘Mist City’.”
“Moreover, I feel that the main target of those people is not us.”
The main target is not us? Leticia was stunned.
Immediately, her eyes widened. No wonder she couldn’t find Shirayuki!
Who would sneak attack them? This answer was very, very easy to guess. It could only be that councilman whose book was stolen.
The Hero Association was on their side, and Leticia believed Shirayuki wouldn’t reveal her identity to the Hero Association or any other official human organizations.
If she really did that, Leticia would admit defeat.
But now, Leticia had to admit that she trusted Shirayuki.
This was the mutual trust between mortal enemies, a trust that was even purer and more solid than the trust between close friends.
“Their target is Shirayuki, no, it should be that book.” Leticia said coldly.
“Although I thought those people would come to disrupt the transaction, I didn’t expect them to have something like this,” Chiyara sighed, but her gaze couldn’t help but look at Leticia’s head.
The hairpin that Sister was wearing seemed to be a birthday gift she gave to Sister.
At that time, Sister complained that her craftsmanship was not good, but she didn’t expect Sister to actually wear such a hairpin.
Hmph, saying her craftsmanship wasn’t good, her hairpins were clearly made super well!
Chiyara clearly misunderstood something. In fact, Leticia was an incurable useless sister.
If not for Shirley’s reminder, she wouldn’t have known she had such a hairpin.
“Aren’t you worried about Shirayuki, Sister?” Chiyara tidied up her emotions and asked. She noticed that although her sister had guessed that the target was Shirayuki, there was no worry in her emotions.
It was as if she trusted Shirayuki very much, knowing that the girl would definitely be fine.
“She’s very powerful.” Leticia rolled her eyes. These sneak attacks could be easily dealt with by herself, so it would be simple for Shirayuki to handle them?
“Sister, who exactly is Shirayuki?” Chiyara finally asked a question she had always been curious about.
Her strength was so great, and she had a strange relationship with her sister. Her identity was truly mysterious.
“With your intelligence, Chiyara, you should have some guesses, right?” Leticia patted her sister’s small head. “You and Xiaoya are good friends, and she must have complained to you about that person named Bai.”
“Mmm, she said her sister had been gone for a long time and only recently returned… recently…” Chiyara’s eyes widened slowly, and all the clues connected, and an answer appeared in her mind.
No way?
Isn’t that Sister’s mortal enemy?
