47: Chapter 22 Doll_2 47: Chapter 22 Doll_2 He could only lift his head with difficulty, attempting to use some kind of ability, but he failed to succeed.

It was the Doll who made a move!

She raised her billboard high and smacked it down, bringing immense pressure onto the Black Umbrella youth.

And as she lifted the billboard again and struck down with force,

The terrible pressure doubled once more!

The head that the Black Umbrella youth struggled to lift was forcefully smashed into the ground.

Bones broke, muscles tore, organs fell from the wounds, and blood flowed into the crevices of the ground.

Like a mosquito that had been squashed dead.

Yet even though his body became shattered, he still did not die.

Bearing the enormous pressure, he reached out toward the Black Umbrella, seemingly trying to mount some resistance.

But under the Doll’s suppression, he couldn’t even control the Black Umbrella.

No matter how he reached out, the umbrella did not come closer to him.

And as the black fog and the swamp were suppressed, the Melting Furnace stood conspicuously upon the rooftop.

He specifically glanced at Li Yelai, dozens of meters away, then laughed, “Kid, let me show you the power of Wanxiang!”

Then, he took a deep breath.

The next instant, behind him, an enormous and fierce dragon’s head phantom appeared.

The dragon’s head opened its eyes and reared backward.

Then, it spouted a searing Dragon Flame!

Wanxiang Path, Mimicry·Flame Dragon Breath!

The intense Flames instantly filled the alley, and the Black Umbrella youth was engulfed by the blazing fire before he could even wail.

Even at a distance of several tens of meters, Li Yelai could feel the terrifying heat wave slam into his Spiritual Barrier.

This is Wanxiang!

Mimicry, imitation, and assimilation of power!

However, within these flames capable of melting steel, a shadow surged skyward.

Not the Black Umbrella youth, but the umbrella itself!

It shot into the sky, its speed so fast that it created a sonic boom.

It flew toward the high walls of the Giant City at an incredible velocity.

Yet, the next second, thunderbolts struck down out of nowhere.

They hit the Black Umbrella accurately, causing its speed to falter, but it still swiftly flew towards the high wall.

Its speed was so fast that the others could no longer intercept it.

“Damn it, so the Black Umbrella was the main body!

You son of a…%%￥grandma’s (*&…&(#￥@,” Moon Shadow, wielding a longsword and Big Shield, was the one who released the Thunder, and now he was cursing loudly.

His vulgar words stunned Li Yelai, who turned to ask a colleague, “Does Captain Moon Shadow’s curse require him to swear at someone?”

“No, you’re overthinking it,” his colleague covered his face, “He’s just plain uncouth.”

“Oh….”

…

Soon, the fire subsided, and the pitch-black alley was completely cleansed.

The body of the Black Umbrella youth was found, undoubtedly burned to a crisp.

The Weary Blade Demon was also burned thoroughly, with any toxic remains being safely dealt with.

The Melting Furnace’s fire, infused with Spiritual Energy, had only one drawback, it took too long to accumulate energy.

It needed about two seconds to be fully released.

But with the Doll’s gravitational suppression, the drawback vanished, and it became a flame that could incinerate everything.

Li Yelai specially inquired with the Melting Furnace Captain.

He learned that this was an ability acquired by the Melting Furnace during his Fourth Awakening.

Reportedly, it cost him thousands of Merit Points to gather the main materials.

And he suggested that Li Yelai could also consider saving up Merit Points to prepare for a Magic Potion.

However, Li Yelai believed he was still some time away from his Fourth Awakening, so there was no need to consider it for the time being.

Fortunately, this operation resulted in zero casualties and did not cause any harm to the public.

But after all, a small alley was burned down, the finance department of the East City Branch probably felt a bit of a headache.

And Li Yelai, the person involved, had returned to the branch.

As requested, he wrote a report.

At the same time, the investigator dispatched by the headquarters came in person to inquire about the cause of the incident from Li Yelai.

“The Black Umbrella eventually disappeared in the northeast direction outside Giant City, and we have dispatched an expedition squad to investigate along the way.

But it’s uncertain whether there is still an accomplice of the enemy within Giant City.

You need to be careful and watch your surroundings.

As soon as you detect danger, immediately sound the alarm,” said the investigator, who was quite amiable, “You did well, successfully containing the danger within the alley.

For this, the Processing Department of No.3 Border City will reward you with twenty Merit Points as recognition.”

“Thank you,” Li Yelai said with a smile, having not actually participated in the recent fight, he still managed to get twenty Merit Points.

What was there not to be satisfied with?

Adding the previous twenty-five points, he now had forty-five Merit Points.

And the cost of an Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet including shipping was just ninety points, he had already reached half his goal.

“Then, the second issue,” the investigator continued with a smile, “Did you, by any chance, see Processor ‘Doll’s’ face?”

Remembering that stunning face, Li Yelai nodded, “Yes.”

The investigator paused, then continued, “How did you feel?”

“A pretty girl,” Li Yelai responded honestly.

“Uh, she indeed looks very pretty in the photos, but…

anything else?” the investigator asked curiously, “Didn’t you have any other thoughts?

Did you not feel any fear?”

Now, Li Yelai also remembered that Doll’s curse was feared by the outside world.

Everyone, whether it was Cheese, Yang Chen, or even more powerful Spiritual Ability Users.

None could directly look at her face; even a glimpse of skin was enough to instill fear in all living beings.

And her voice could even cause Void Realm Creatures to fall into panic immediately.

Thus, she normally resided within the East City Branch, and every time she went out, she had to don a thick Doll suit, which was the origin of her codename.

And when interacting with others, she would either use a billboard or type on a Communicator.

In some ways, her curse was the opposite of her sister Li Yunyan’s.

They had in common…

they were both in pain.

But for some unknown reason, Li Yelai was unaffected by their curses.

His sister’s curse manifested in a fear of strangers, but she was not afraid of Li Yelai alone.

Li Yelai initially thought it was because he was her blood-related brother that he was unaffected by the curse.

And now, Li Yelai could even directly face Doll’s true appearance.

‘Is it because of Mr.

Shadow?

Is His presence the reason I’m not affected by these curses?

Or is there some other reason?’ Li Yelai pondered internally and then said, “No, I didn’t feel any fear.”

“Very good,” the investigator nodded, “It seems that your curse resistance is extremely high!”

“Is that rare?” Li Yelai ventured to ask.

“Rare, very rare,” the investigator replied, “but it’s not nonexistent.

Among Spiritual Ability Users, different paths have various levels of curse resistance, but there are also those born with exceptionally strong curse resistance.

In a Giant City far from us, there is a Processor who was born with extremely high curse resistance.

There are even those who are natural anti-spiritual power users.

They are indeed miracles of humanity.”

“Then…

it seems I’m quite lucky,” Li Yelai felt a bit more relaxed internally.

“Indeed, and it’s also a good thing for Doll,” the investigator said with a smile, “You’re aware of her curse; she’s been too lonely.

We’ve all been concerned that loneliness would overwhelm her and cause her to become twisted.”

“Fortunately, now you can communicate with her normally.

Thus, the headquarters hopes you can interact and meet with Doll more often.

Do not let her feel too lonely and repressed.”

“From my personal point of view, it’s not a bad deal for you either.”

Li Yelai nodded, “I will.”

“Very good, then I won’t stay any longer.” After standing up and shaking hands with Li Yelai, the investigator left the room.

And Li Yelai fell into contemplation, realizing that he had entered the sights of certain organizations, coupled with the ability of Wanxiang Wumian.

Sooner or later, he would be noticed by those organizations.

They would either capture him for research or kill him to craft Spiritual Ability Equipment.

These were threats; he must become stronger immediately.

Moreover, he could not let his sister continue to stay in the old apartment.

It was time to have a frank discussion with Yunyan…

Thinking this, Li Yelai opened the door, but paused in surprise.

Because standing just outside the door was a snowman Doll wrapped in a red cape.

Upon noticing Li Yelai stepping out, the Doll raised her hand and words emerged onto the billboard.

[When shall we have a meal?
