Chapter 62

After the police left, Liz locked the office door and returned to the second-floor office, where she began cleaning the bloodstains on the floor.

She didn't plan to go back to her apartment tonight.

Before sending Sambika away, she needed to observe the reaction of the forces behind "g2."

Anyway, the worst outcome would be losing her business and then being forced to leave Laxiang City.

With this in mind, selling Sambika outright could get her out of this mess.

But she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Liz, let me clean up."

Moyou came to the office door and saw Liz cleaning.

Hearing this, Liz stopped her actions, a smile forming on her lips as she said, "No need."

She then looked at the clock, realizing it was almost midnight...

"You've been practicing all day, go rest early."

She turned to Moyou.

"I haven't practiced enough yet."

Moyou smiled and released his mental power to control the shadow, shaping it into a human form.

The ability to materialize shadows into mental beasts had already been demonstrated in front of Liz and the others, so there was no need to hide it now.

Summoning the shadow, Moyou then issued the command "clean the office" in his mind.

A single "controlled entity" can usually carry out more complex instructions.

As a "soul" carrier, the shadow person is the most advanced in this regard, capable of almost perfectly understanding and executing complex instructions.

Upon receiving the command, the shadow person immediately walked into the office and, under Liz's slightly surprised gaze, took the mop from her and began mopping the floor.

Seeing the shadow clean the office like a robot, Liz was more than happy to relax.

At this moment,

Sambika and Bisji also returned to the office.

Liz's gaze shifted to Sambika.

Meeting Liz's gaze, Sambika instantly realized something.

"Can you... help me?"

She preemptively asked before Liz could speak.

Liz remained calm.

Before Sambika spoke, her plan was to have Sambika leave before dawn.

"I can't help you."

Without hesitation, Liz refused Sambika's request and then suggested, "But you can ask Bisji to escort you back to the association."

Hearing Liz's words, Sambika's eyes lit up, and she instinctively looked at Bisji.

"Don't count on me."

Bisji shrugged and calmly said, "I've already agreed to attend the gemstone exchange tomorrow night as an appraiser. I have a commitment, so I can't leave."

"..."

The light in Sambika's eyes slowly faded, and she stood there helplessly, looking particularly vulnerable.

She had to deliver the "g2" sample to the association and use the association's power to address the potential threat posed by "g2."

This matter was very important to her. If successful, it might even eradicate the "g drug" that had harmed countless families.

From Sambika's perspective, the "g2" issue was crucial.

But from Bisji's perspective, "g2" wouldn't cause much of a stir.

Drugs like "g2" could never be legalized.

So it was foreseeable that once "g2" hit the market, it would be strictly banned by the government and could only circulate in the underground world.

For Bisji, attending the gemstone exchange tomorrow and keeping Moyou occupied were more important than "g2."

Without help from Liz and Bisji, Sambika was truly on her own.

Her physical condition was not good, but she had to leave Laxiang City as soon as possible, or she would be stuck there.

"..."

Sambika leaned against the wall next to the office door, head down, biting her lip, and silent.

Given her current situation, she could only use "Jue" to restore her potential energy as much as possible before dawn and wait for her condition to improve slightly.

Only by ensuring basic mobility could she have a chance to leave Laxiang City.

Moyou looked at the helpless Sambika and then at Liz, who could do nothing to help.

He was considering whether to offer his assistance.

It might waste a few days of cultivation buff time, but it could also provide a combat opportunity.

As for the risks...

He had never believed in windfall gains and always adhered to the principle that gains and risks coexist.

Liz noticed Moyou's gaze.

Although they didn't communicate, Liz could see from his eyes that he wanted to help Sambika, which made her hesitate.

From her standpoint, it wasn't that she wouldn't help Sambika, but that she couldn't.

Moreover, considering her master's various instructions, she didn't want to see Moyou take unnecessary risks.

"I'm really becoming more and more irresponsible. If it were my master..."

Liz mocked herself inwardly and then nodded at Moyou.

Seeing Liz agree with his decision, Moyou turned to Sambika.

"Miss Virus Hunter, right? I'll escort you to the Hunter Association over the next few days."

"Huh?"

Hearing Moyou's words, Sambika looked up sharply, her large, black eyes like ink jade, sparkling with stars.

It was the light of hope.

Under this glow, her eyes became especially captivating.

"Don't look at me like that."

Moyou raised his index finger calmly and said, "Before I escort you to the association, I need to say some unpleasant things first. First, I'm not helping you for free. Second, and most importantly, I will only do what I can."

"Okay, thank you..."

Sambika looked at Moyou, with no objections.

For her, the only thing she could do now was to cling to Moyou as a lifeline.

Moyou slowly avoided Sambika's gaze.

This is the first time...

I've seen such "bright and pure" eyes.

Why didn't I notice them just now?

Moyou thought to himself.

"I'll join the mission to escort Sambika to the association."

Bisji raised her hand.

Moyou turned to Bisji, frowning. "Didn't you say you have something tomorrow?"

"Yes, I came to Laxiang City from so far away just to attend the biennial gemstone exchange tomorrow. If I miss it, I'll not only break my promise to the organizers but also miss the only exchange in two years."

Saying this, Bisji sighed lightly, then her expression became very serious as she said earnestly, "But compared to letting someone die and feeling guilty, breaking a promise is not important."

"..."

Moyou's face remained expressionless, and he thought to himself, I don't believe you for a second!

Liz and Sambika looked at Bisji, who had suddenly changed her mind, with different expressions.

And so—

Moyou and Bisji took on the mission to escort Sambika back to the Hunter Association.

And they had to leave before dawn.

However, they would at least rest for two hours before leaving.

During the rest period, Moyou finally got a chance to be alone and began adding a vow effect to the "Soul Resonance"...
