In the wilderness, a figure sped through on a bike. Although Liu Hongzhao was used to riding horses in her native world, she had ridden bikes in other places. Riding a motorcycle was not a problem. However, in her native world, there was no such thing as gasoline, and charging was inconvenient, so riding a horse was preferable.
She really liked Zheng Yichen’s things, and that included his motorcycle, even though it always projected an image of soone sitting on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder from inside the bike.
That was the motorcycle’s artificial intelligence, a trusted assistant to Zheng Yichen.
"Brother Chang Qing, if the Boundary Breaking Faction is dealt with in the future, then Proxy Agents won’t be the sa as they are now, right?" Liu Hongzhao asked softly while riding.
Zheng Yichen thought for a mont, "It will still exist, but it won’t be as frequent as it is now. Maybe there will be sothing to do every year or half a year, or even nothing for to handle at all."
Without the Boundary Breaking Faction, it would an that the ringleaders causing trouble are gone. Then, the Dusk rcenaries would have to work harder to gain achievents. For any issue that arises, the Dusk rcenaries could handle it. Proxy Agents are likely to beco a rare species indeed.
Well, that’s a good thing, at least. In such a case, the Proxy Agents’ freedom would increase. If they were really idle, they could seek out the Dusk nuns to proactively resolve certain issues, rather than waiting passively for notifications, as all the people from the past were.
Whether it’s a Dusk rcenary or a Proxy Agent, either should work, right?
"...That would be quite good," said Liu Hongzhao, glancing at so alien demons wandering ahead. So of the alien demons ran away like startled beasts upon seeing her, while others charged at her. She grabbed the Supre Demon Weapon hanging on the motorcycle, and as the giant sword swung, a flash of blood light appeared, and the alien demons trying to intercept were annihilated by the bloody air blade.
"These alien demons are getting smarter." Watching the alien demons fleeing into the distance, Zheng Yichen said sincerely. Although most alien demons lacked intelligence, their behavior already mirrored so animals.
Are animals stupid? They are not... And since alien demons can evolve again, with brains like humans, it’s inevitable that these creatures spreading across the land won’t be collectively foolish.
Right now they are like so animals, and in ti they might beco like gorillas. It’s not so easy for the collective to gain intelligence all at once, but as the collective’s baseline intelligence rises, the chance of encountering smarter beings amongst them greatly increases.
"There are too many alien demons. I won’t have the chance to kill them all even if I wanted to."
Zheng Yichen shook his head, "It’s too late now. After so ti, you all will see the Dusk maidservant among the alien demon race."
Riding her bike, Liu Hongzhao fell silent for a bit, "I don’t have much animosity towards alien demons. It’s just that alien demons are more easily influenced by the Supre Demon."
Alien demons are victims too. Once the world returns to normal, but the victims don’t, her feelings towards alien demons, in contrast, aren’t as negative as her feelings towards human beings... at least most humans.
Especially those humans desperate to survive. Among those fleeing for their lives, many are also victims, but that doesn’t an they won’t beco victimizers. The incidents she encountered in the past have left an indelible mark on her life.
When she was in a bad mood, seeing people fleeing for their lives stirred an uncontrollable urge to kill within her. Its intensity depended on the size of the group. If she truly couldn’t restrain her killing intent and took action, then none of those running for survival would stand a chance of living. And the pursuers? They would fare even worse.
"As long as the Supre Demon is gone, then..." Zheng Yichen did not continue. Should Liu Hongzhao beco the Defender of the human race in this world? Qi Xiangyun could want to do that, so could Lin Yaoyao.
As for Liu Hongzhao, if she wanted to do sothing, she would just go for it; Zheng Yichen wouldn’t have brought it up if she hadn’t shown such an inclination.
"Then I can visit Brother Chang Qing more often," she said.
"Ah..." Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched, then he smiled, "But that still has to wait until I’m more financially secure."
Upon Liu Hongzhao’s arrival at the Dusk Territory, the people stationed there imdiately showed a wary expression. They knew the Dusk Territory was safe, but they never thought of provoking her, leveraging the environnt here.
Indeed, provocation might feel thrilling. Look, they dared to provoke the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate and still lived just fine. The other party could only seethe silently in powerless rage here, how satisfying...
But what about after? Don’t even think about leaving this place; the Dusk Territory doesn’t provide any food. How long can one survive on just water?
Moreover, the other party is already a trained killer. Provoke her, and she might ignore those taunting her here, instead stepping out to catch those associated with the provocateurs and killing them. Then, Liu Hongzhao wouldn’t need to handle anything herself—there would be plenty of people to deal with the troublemakers.
So have indeed thought of framing others this way, but the consequences... are severe. The personnel stationed here have gone through several reshuffles already.
Arriving at the storage locker, Zheng Yichen opened it to check the contents inside. One part was a ssage from Chiang Wei, who first teased Zheng Yichen before informing him that his battle suit was made of so special materials. Now there’s a shortage of those materials, so it’s impossible to produce another battle suit of the sa level.
However, the quality of the custom-made battle suit can be guaranteed to be just as good. The only difference would be the materials, while the performance would be completely identical. Zheng Yichen would have to wait two or three days to get that kind of battle suit.
Two or three days... Zheng Yichen gained a new appreciation for the technological level of Chiang Wei’s world. Those battle suits could already be mass-produced over there.
Then there’s the locker associated with Hazy City, which contains several black artifacts similar to true love knots, along with a ssage from Eileena. These artifacts could be used to track down relatives through necromancy.
However, since they are artifacts and not operated by a witch on-site, the range of the necromancy might be quite large if used.
For instance, the necromancy might not only reach one’s parents but possibly grandparents or even ancestors whose souls still exist.
Of course, that’s just a probabilistic occurrence. Necromantic skill will first contact the souls most closely related to the user, but nothing is absolute. As long as there’s a chance, it can happen. In addition, Eileena expressed interest in the Supre Demon Blood and ntioned that by reading the mory of the Evil Spirit, she discovered so particular information.
It seems to be related to the Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World. Later on, she will focus on selecting information related to this aspect. If Zheng Yichen has ti to co back, he can look through the records. If not, she will leave the relevant information recorded in the storage locker.
Upon reading this ssage, Zheng Yichen imdiately left a new ssage. He was very interested in this news. Although the phenonon brought by the Evil Spirit to Hazy City had disappeared, could there be a connection to the Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World over there?
Zheng Yichen instantly thought of a possibility. Among the many phenona that appeared in Hazy City, could there be worlds that have been targeted by the Boundary Breaking Faction and were already on the brink of doom?
Does the Great World have ways to forcefully maintain these phenona? Thinking of those Alien Phenonon creatures... they truly have the ans.
