Chapter 794 - 678: Where Did My Head Go?

Chapter 794: Chapter 678: Where Did My Head Go?

The words circling in his mind, Luo Ji naturally didn’t express them; he feigned a sigh:

"It’s good that she’s gone. Revenge is too dangerous; it’s not suitable for Cuicui... Hmm, now that she’s home, will she tell her parents that Feng Yuhuai is a monster?"

Zhang Liyou had already considered this issue, and she shook her head confidently:

"I warned her repeatedly not to say anything once she returns, and to keep her mouth shut to everyone, including her parents.

Then figure out how to transfer to a different school, and if possible, persuade the family to move.

Since she’s decided to go back, she should completely forget everything about Feng Yuhuai and start her life over. That’s the safest way."

Luo Ji nodded and then asked:

"What about you? Cuicui chose to leave. What do you plan to do next?"

"And you?"

Zhang Liyou was silent for a moment, her gaze becoming sharp and determined:

"I want revenge. It’s not that I don’t want to go home, but I can’t go home. Cuicui has already gone home, and I don’t know if the monster Feng Yuhuai will target Cuicui again.

I have to hide in the shadows. It might not help, but perhaps it can make Feng Yuhuai have some worries.

As long as Cuicui listens to me and does nothing, perhaps Feng Yuhuai will let her go, so my family doesn’t know anything and is safe.

But if I also go home..."

Zhang Liyou paused, then said in a deep voice:

"Then it would be Feng Yuhuai in the dark, and we exposed in the light. At that point, if Feng Yuhuai comes knocking..."

She didn’t finish the sentence, but just thinking about the consequences was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Luo Ji originally wanted to suggest, now that there were only two of them left, they might as well disband "The Avengers" and give up on revenge altogether.

After all, he bore no grudge against Feng Yuhuai; he was just greedy for someone else’s Life Chart.

But now, he wasn’t greedy anymore; he had found better.

However, those words stalled on his lips; seeing Zhang Liyou’s determined and composed eyes, he swallowed them back.

Zhang Liyou was more resilient and clever than he had imagined. Her decision to seek revenge wasn’t just out of friendship; it was a well-considered choice.

This made it much rarer and more admirable than rushing into revenge, spurred solely by friendship.

Luo Ji walked into the room, took a sip from the glass on the table, and then looked at Zhang Liyou and continued:

"Then you just keep staying here with peace of mind. I believe that with the two of us, we’ll eventually find a chance to kill Feng Yuhuai!"

Luo Ji spoke with more confidence now. He had mastered a special space, and improving his strength was only a matter of time. Helping Zhang Liyou kill Feng Yuhuai would be just a small effort then.

Along the way, he could also plunder the other party’s Life Chart, though he wasn’t really interested in it anymore.

But having one more Life Chart was always a good thing, so why not?

Zhang Liyou nodded. Receiving such a firm and supportive response from Luo Ji gave her a bit of comfort and involuntarily increased her trust in and fondness for him a little more.

Luo Ji remembered his upcoming plans and added:

"By the way, let me tell you in advance, in a couple of days I have to go down to the Hidden Sect again to explore."

Zhang Liyou knew that Luo Ji had signed a life-risking contract with the Advanced Team and had to explore the Hidden Sect ten times. She admired his courage.

She had also secretly considered whether she should learn from Luo Ji and join him in exploring the Hidden Sect.

The Hidden Sect, though dangerous, seemed to promise opportunities. Perhaps she could find something to strengthen herself, just like Luo Ji did.

But ultimately, her rational mind prevented her from entertaining such risky thoughts.

Her current strength was low, and without the trump cards Luo Ji had, venturing into the Hidden Sect would likely mean seeking death rather than opportunities.

She said in a deep voice:

"I understand. Be very careful yourself. Anything can happen in the Hidden Sect."

She paused and then asked,

"By the way... did you find anything when you went to the hospital today?"

Luo Ji knew Zhang Liyou wanted to ask if he had run into Feng Mu, and he answered truthfully:

"I didn’t run into Feng Mu, but I unexpectedly caught sight of another Life Chart—[Curtain’s Shadow Protection], from a constable at the Patrol Office.

Hmm... it’s not Feng Yuhuai’s father, Feng Ju. I’ve seen his photo, confirmed it’s not him; it’s another constable I don’t recognize." "

Zhang Liyou listened quietly, a thoughtful look on her face:

"The Life Chart only differs by one character from Feng Yuhuai’s; this person must have some special connection with her.

And it’s someone from the Patrol Office... It seems that the issue isn’t just with her father, Feng Ju. The entire Patrol Office system may have significant problems."

Zhang Liyou pondered a while longer, then said:

"I got it. I’m heading out for a bit, will be back later."

Just as Luo Ji was about to ask "where are you going," Zhang Liyou swiftly turned around and pulled open the door, leaving.

The door closed gently with a "click," leaving Luo Ji alone in the room, staring at the closed door with a slight frown.

Zhang Liyou actually hadn’t decided exactly where to go; she just felt stifled, as if a huge boulder was pressing on her chest, so heavy that she could barely breathe.

Cuicui’s departure, though completely understandable and supported rationally, still left her with an indescribable loneliness and depression.

She also longed to call home, to hear her parents’ voices, to reassure them and tell them she was still alive.
