52: Chapter 25: Where did the Assist Come From?

Lund Restaurant, in the main hall.

Facing a dozen men and women with ill-intentioned smiles.

The burly man and the two Spiritual Ability Users behind him turned pale.

Had the “Night General” called for reinforcements so quickly?

When had he been discovered?

Why were there so many Processors in a restaurant?

Are you guys here for a team-building event?

A silent roar erupted in his mind, but the burly man violently struggled with both hands, attempting to shake off the waiter and flee through the door.

He was a Second Awakening Spiritual Ability User of the True Martial Path, with immense physical strength and an advantageous position in close combat!

However, his body suddenly stiffened.

Because with the flicker of the waiter’s eyes, he saw a monstrous creature tens of meters tall suddenly appear and smash a punch at him, who was immobilized.

The pain of his flesh and bones being crushed elicited a cry of extreme terror from him.

In reality, he had collapsed to the ground with a scream after just one glance from the waiter.

The pain from the illusion was transmitted one hundred percent to his brain.

Merely the agony of being crushed rendered him completely incapable of fighting.

Spiritual Eyes Path, Illusion Eyes.

The two Wild Spirit Ability Users behind the burly man didn’t even consider their teammate’s safety and turned right around to flee.

However, they saw a female guest nearest to the door gracefully stand up and then casually pick up a heavy marble tabletop, swinging it directly at the two of them.

The two of them were terrified and hastily reinforced their Spiritual Barriers, intending to withstand the strike and break out.

However, when the tabletop smashed into their barriers, a tremendous force acted directly upon their bodies.

A powerful blast erupted within both of them!

True Martial Path, Inner Strike.

The violent impact caused both of them to spit out blood on the spot, one of them collapsing, going into shock.

The other, enduring the discomfort, immediately changed direction, leaping up to perform Aerial Stepping, hoping to smash through the first floor’s window and escape through the wall.

Yet, the moment he leapt, a not-so-tall male guest suddenly appeared in front of him, raising a punch that landed on his face.

Directly smashing him back to the ground, leaving him unable to rise again.

Netherworld Path, Shadow Step.

Immediately after, a group of people rushed up and tied the three men up like rice dumplings.

“Coming out to just hold a spot for Doll, I didn’t expect to earn Merit Points!”

“Truly worthy of being the Night General!

This luck really is unbeatable!”

“What Night General?

You should call him, Night·Monster Cage·Will!”

“Next time we encounter a fugitive, let Night General take a stroll outside, and we’ll just stealthily follow behind.

That’ll be the end of it!”

“Two First Awakening, one Second Awakening.

If Night General were alone and got trapped, the consequences would be unpredictable.”

“But today, they just happened to come at the right time.

It’s also fortunate we took action, because if they had disturbed Doll’s rare date, they probably wouldn’t have survived.”

The Processors joked among themselves.

They had initially gathered for Doll’s date.

Completely unexpected, they stumbled upon three Wild Spirit Ability Users.

Isn’t that just walking Merit Points?

…

Meanwhile, in a delicate private room on the second floor.

Li Yelai thought he heard screams.

Since becoming a Spiritual Ability User, his physical strength had increased significantly, and even his hearing had become much more sensitive.

But when he focused to listen again, only the beautiful singing floated in from outside.

‘Did I hear wrong?’

Li Yelai didn’t dwell on it and continued to chat casually with Doll.

Doll was quite active on forums and group chats, and was very lively when communicating with a signboard.

Like a social butterfly.

But when she shed her costume and revealed her true self to Li Yelai,

She appeared nervous and uneasy.

Perhaps it was because she hadn’t spoken to people in a long time, her voice was soft and her words carefully pronounced—a stark contrast to the Doll online, who had turned into a social anxiety sufferer.

But Li Yelai could understand that his dinner companion probably hadn’t had such an interaction with people for many years.

Now she could slowly speak her words clearly was already a result of her private practice.

Not speaking to people for a long time could lead to a gradual loss of language abilities.

Who knows how many nights she practiced in front of a mirror by herself.

At the same time, Li Yelai also learned some bad news.

Even a Processor of Doll’s level couldn’t fully eliminate the effects of the curse.

So, how could his sister’s curse be solved?

Would the Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet still be useful?

Li Yelai pondered in his heart.

At this moment, a dish covered in red oil was rotated before Li Yelai by a pair of fair, slender hands.

It seemed to be Sichuan spicy chicken?

And the Doll sitting beside him, her face lit up with excitement and shyness.

“This, tastes so good!”

As an experienced Processor, Doll certainly wasn’t short of money.

But since she spent most of her time in the branch office, and she basically executed missions every time she went out, not to mention that no one could look directly at her,

Usually, she would get her food from the office canteen and then eat in her room.

She had never eaten such dishes from a restaurant before.

Therefore, after tasting some delicious dishes for the first time, she would immediately recommend them and rotate the plates to Li Yelai.

“Thank you…

it really is good,” Li Yelai tasted a piece and couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

“It’s just that my tongue is a bit numb…” Doll stuck out her tender pink tongue.

Inside the private room was a large round table, and Li Yelai and Doll sat side by side.

And when Doll turned to look at Li Yelai,

Her fair, slender legs shifted inadvertently and brushed against Li Yelai’s right leg under the table.

Doll could even feel the warmth of Li Yelai’s calf through the fabric.
