Chapter 62

It wasn't long before Xina arrived here. She was responsible for finding a safe route in the small town. Now, Zhengchen and his group couldn't leave directly, as there were informants nearby, and leaving directly would easily lead to trouble. ⊙

The real time to leave... is tomorrow!

In the evening? The situation would be even worse at night. It would be better to act during the day, which could make the surrounding informants lower their guard. Zhengchen and his group coming to the small town didn't attract much attention; new faces were arriving here all the time.

It would be impossible to screen everyone, not just here, but also in other places where Holy War Angel doctors lived, which received a lot of attention!

"Then, see you later."

After saying goodbye to Xina, the next day, Zhengchen, Lei, and Xiya, who was still relatively normal, left the inn. Actually, staying for a couple more days could have further reduced the risk, but his time was not abundant, and Xiya was like a time bomb.

The process of leaving went relatively smoothly, except for the strange encounters... At the time, Zhengchen's casual "get lost" really irritated the other party, but fortunately, no fight broke out. The number of people leaving the small town every day was not small, and these people served as a cover.

However...

"..." Looking at Hisska, who was blocking the way, hands on her hips, and laughing wildly, Zhengchen regretted not thoroughly dealing with her back then. What a cursed connection, why did he always run into her?

"Uh, Senior, did we find the wrong person?" Longwei, somewhat embarrassed, looked at the cold-faced white-haired 'beauty' in front of him. Being stared at by her sharp eyes made him feel uneasy, but he also had a faint sense of familiarity.

This gaze seemed familiar from somewhere before.

"No! Absolutely not!" Hisska shook her dusty cloak, which she hadn't cleaned for a while. "I've been working myself to death every day just to pay attention to this! They are definitely not from the small town, nor are they outsiders!"

"Huh?" Longwei smiled awkwardly. So, Senior had been waking up early and going to bed late, even compressing her sleep to less than four hours, just to investigate people? It seemed she had really found something?

"Hmph, it's a crude method, but my success proves everything." Hisska's expression became particularly proud.

"..." Zhengchen thought for a moment and ignored her, walking away with Lei and Xiya.

If it were really as she said, she wouldn't maintain this observing attitude. Of course, if he showed any abnormal reaction, it would be a real exposure.

"You actually ignored me!"

Hisska shouted at Zhengchen's back, quite unwilling, but didn't chase after him.

"Did we really get it wrong? Senior." Seeing Hisska not chase, Longwei became even more puzzled.

"Uh..." Hisska scratched her head, completely lacking the confidence she had just shown. Her intention was to test Zhengchen, but he remained calm and showed no signs of abnormality.

But the white-haired woman was the most suspicious among the people she had been investigating for days... At this point, she hesitated, should she chase or not?

If the other party was really Zhengchen's group, she might miss them, but if not, it would be a waste of time. After all, the white-haired woman's personality seemed similar to Zhengchen's, but her appearance... Hey! Too abnormal!

"Um, it's a bit strange." Qiyi said, somewhat puzzled.

"What?" Hisska asked, now any slight abnormality was enough to make her decide.

"They haven't spoken a word from the beginning, and... the way that woman walks... is too masculine." Qiyi explained. In contrast, the person walking next to him seemed more feminine.

"Huh? I can't see it."

Hisska patted her round hat, puzzled. Was this true?

"Because Senior usually walks like a man." Longwei said, somewhat embarrassed. Qiyi's words made him realize the source of the earlier discomfort.

"Next time you say that, I'll kill you!"

After saying this to Longwei, Hisska took a deep breath. "Decided, we'll follow them! Let's trust our intuition this time."

Although she said this, her tone lacked confidence. "As for the small town, let the person in charge who came with us deal with it."

"We'll follow quietly, without alarming them..."

For a while, the more Hisska followed, the more suspicious points she found about Zhengchen's group, for example... two days had passed, why hadn't they changed their clothes?

She inquired about the inn they passed, and the innkeeper, bribed with money, revealed information about Zhengchen's group. Normal guests would wash up when they came here, but they didn't, which was very strange.

"Come out." Later, Hisska, who continued to follow, was stopped by Zhengchen. "I am Zhengchen."

"..." Hearing the familiar male voice, Hisska immediately widened her eyes, staring at Zhengchen as if he were an alien. Although the suspicious points about them were increasing, this sudden confirmation from Zhengchen made it even harder for her to accept!

"Sure enough... you really are a pervert!" After the shock, Hisska whispered, "Dressing up as a woman, what a schemer!"

Probably no one in the small town had expected Zhengchen to leave in this way, after all, he was completely different from his previous self!

Noticing Zhengchen's unchanged expression, Hisska smiled awkwardly, somewhat puzzled. "Why expose yourself now?"

"It was bound to happen eventually." Makeup could only hide for a while, and Zhengchen wasn't skilled at it. Being watched so closely, the flaws would only increase, so it was better to directly explain and resolve the issue!

"So...?" Sensing the abnormal atmosphere, Hisska took a few steps back, her hand already in her cloak. After the initial shock, she had calmed down. Would Zhengchen do something meaningless?

Since he exposed himself, it meant he was preparing to explain the exposure.

"So you all die here."

Hisska immediately pulled out the weapon hidden under her cloak! Zhengchen, however, made no move, just watching Hisska's actions. In her confusion, the gun she had just pulled out seemed to become incredibly heavy and fell to the ground!

"Hey! You poisoned me!?"

Realizing she was powerless, Hisska's eyes widened. Hey! This is even more sinister!!

"Yes." Zhengchen nodded, a dagger gradually forming in his hand as he approached Hisska and the others.

"Wait! We didn't follow you to catch you." As Zhengchen approached, Hisska looked at Longwei and Qiyi, who were also smiling bitterly, and said urgently, "Really, otherwise, why would only we follow? Hey! Are you even listening... I'm telling the truth!!"

Zhengchen, who was approaching, stopped, looked into the distance, and put away the dagger in his hand.

"This time, I'll let it go."

There was a strong threat in the distance. Due to the distance, Zhengchen couldn't detect the other party, but they could threaten him, probably a sniper.

"Wait, I have questions to ask you." Seeing Zhengchen turn to leave, the powerless Hisska shouted. Zhengchen didn't turn back. "We can help you!"

"You? Or you!"

Although Zhengchen's words were repetitive, Hisska quickly understood his meaning. "It's us, and we have no connection to the Association."

In the evening, Zhengchen, Hisska, and the others gathered around a bonfire, their faces illuminated by the fire. He calmly narrated the events of the Edel Garden.

He had considered this before speaking. The inside story of the Edel Garden would definitely not be reported, and the evidence had already been cleared. Telling the inside story to Hisska and having her report it to the headquarters of the Protection Association would be beneficial to him.

Even if it could only serve as a slight constraint on the Edel Garden.

"Is it really like this? She is the CIA of the Edel Garden?" Hisska looked at Xiya, surprised. Yes, she was now dressed as a young man, making it hard to recognize her.

"CIA?" Xiya, with a faint smile, repeated the term, her smile fading slightly, and her brows furrowing, as if she remembered something...

"If you don't want her to go crazy, don't mention anything about her." Zhengchen narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking in a deep voice after Lei had calmed Xiya down.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Hisska didn't argue. She was more focused on the inside story Zhengchen had revealed! The Edel Garden, known as the Radiant Pearl Garden, had such a dark background, and the Protection Association's attitude towards the Edel Garden would likely change.

"Are you lying?"

Zhengchen glanced at Hisska and didn't answer at all!

"Okay, next question, those terrifying events you did?"

"True." Zhengchen admitted directly.

"Why? Why involve ordinary people?" Hisska frowned. Even if the Edel Garden's actions were dark, there was no need to involve ordinary people.

"Why?" Zhengchen's tone was calm, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Because I want to take them away."

Hisska rubbed her forehead. This explanation might seem weak if said by someone else, but coming from Zhengchen, it seemed quite appropriate, especially with his previous description.

The source of those terrifying black particles was Xiya. Without Xiya, he couldn't have done this. In short... the Edel Garden also had responsibility. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, getting the real answer reduced her negative view of Zhengchen.

Just this guy's cross-dressing...
