In any case, it was unsightly for a girl to ride on top of a man. However, he couldn't care less at this moment. The cold knife pressed against his neck made him lose interest in Sarah. His brain quickly calmed down.
After organizing his words, Han Tang lowered his voice and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm actually an investigator of the Special Task Force of the Nebula Alliance. My code is XY 7769301206. I belong to the Delong Branch. I'm currently on a mission to sneak into the God-slaying Society. The guy with me who likes to squint at people and doesn't seem to care about anything is Little Buddha of the Deity Buddha Clan. His name is Fo You. He has an elder brother called Fo Zui. Fo Zui has been missing for more than ten years.
"Four months ago, in the Luan Eagle Empire, I met Wu Zhuo, a senior investigator of the Sacred Alliance like you. That old fox and I both wanted to fight for the exclusive mining rights of the Luan Eagle Empire. Unfortunately, Wu Zhuo failed in the end …
"If you think about it, you'll find that I'm not lying. If I'm really an outsider from the Barren River, I would never know about these things. I wouldn't have reminded you to hold on to the box sent by the guards before the disaster happened because there's a weapon in the box.
"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid we're in a very dangerous situation. You should need my help. I have the double superpower of speed and smell. The reason I can know that there's a weapon in the box is because I can still use 50% of my sense of smell under the shielding effect of the electromagnetic shackles. If you let me go, we can find my partner and find a way to leave here together."
Xia Fan's logic was meticulous. He analyzed the current situation for Sarah and put forward a reasonable solution.
At first, Sarah didn't believe him. However, Xia Fan noticed the change in Sarah's facial expression. Obviously, what he said had shocked her greatly. She was thinking about it, and the result was obvious. Sarah believed Xia Fan. It was only because Xia Fan had killed Xiaowu that Sarah took it to heart.
Sure enough, after thinking it through, Sarah's body trembled slightly. "Why? If you're an investigator of the Nebula Alliance, why did you kill Xiaowu?! "
Xia Fan was neither servile nor overbearing. "It's simple. Everyone has their own master. My mission is to sneak into the God-slaying Society's superpower competition. If you were in my position, and an investigator of the Nebula Alliance seriously interfered with your mission, you'd also kill him."
Sarah's expression was first angry, then became hesitant. Finally, she gritted her teeth, raised her fist, and punched Xia Fan's head. After several punches, Xia Fan's mouth and nose started bleeding. Sarah threw him to the side. Then, she sat down under a black crystal tree, holding her legs, looking very helpless.
Xia Fan sat up and wiped away the blood on his face. He did not say anything else. Sarah was in a fit of anger. Arguing with her would only enrage her.
Xia Fan was still locked in the electromagnetic shackles. Under such circumstances, he was no match for Sarah. He could only hope that Sarah would understand the situation and let him go.
Unfortunately, before Sarah let him go, Xia Fan smelled danger in the air. So far, Xia Fan had not seen the monsters that lived in the Dark Forest, but judging from the stench, the enemies were not easy to deal with. They had been tracking Sarah and Xia Fan. Although Sarah's superpower was outstanding and she could get rid of the enemies, it would not take long for them to catch up again.
"Enemies are coming from two fifteen minutes to my right. We should retreat to ten o 'clock to my left. There are fewer enemies there," Xia Fan said to Sarah.
Sarah was slightly taken aback. She did not immediately believe Xia Fan's words. Instead, she released her strange-looking dagger, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and let the dagger fly towards the location that Xia Fan had warned her about. The reason why Sarah was able to know that the enemy was approaching was probably because her dagger had been circling around the area and coincidentally encountered the enemy.
Not long after, Sarah's face turned pale. Her knife had detected the enemies. Xia Fan was right. There was a large group of monsters approaching. With her current energy reserves, there was no way she could fight them head-on. All she could do was continue to run.
The only problem was, where should she go? Should she randomly choose a direction, or should she follow Xia Fan's instructions and run to ten o 'clock to his left?
In the end, Sarah chose to believe Xia Fan, but she still refused to release him from the electromagnetic shackles. Dragging her exhausted body, she used her mind to fly. At the same time, she had to carry Xia Fan, who was a burden, which drained her energy even faster.
Once, twice, thrice …
Although Xia Fan was able to accurately warn her every time, Sarah's stamina was slowly depleting. Previously, she could fly for an hour at a time, but now, she had to rest in less than 20 minutes. Sarah did not have enough food. She ate all the dry bread and water that she had somehow managed to scrounge up.
Xia Fan's hidden dimensional ring had a water molecule collector and nutrient supply, but opening the ring required the seventh brain region's cooperation. The electromagnetic shackles prevented Xia Fan from taking them out.
Sarah knew very well how fast Xia Fan was. Although she believed that Xia Fan was an investigator of the Nebula Alliance, she refused to release him from the shackles. If Xia Fan could kill Xiaowu for the sake of the mission, he could kill her too.
"Which direction should we go next?" Sarah asked Xia Fan, panting.
Xia Fan looked at Sarah and shook his head. "It's useless. No matter which direction we go, we will fight the enemies. You have already lost most of your energy. The only way is to let me go. Otherwise, we will all die!"
"Impossible!" Sarah became hysterical. "You are the murderer of Xiaowu and the murderer of all my companions! As an investigator, I must bring you back and let the Holy Court sentence you to death! "
Xia Fan finally understood that Sarah was a stubborn woman. Until now, she still naively hoped that Xia Fan would plead guilty. The fact that she did not kill Xia Fan showed that she respected the law. However, she was too inflexible. Xia Fan could only keep his mouth shut and say no more.
The battle began five minutes later. Sarah brought Xia Fan and fell into the enemy's encirclement. The monsters with fangs and claws rushed out of the dark forest, roaring. The monsters' claws were stained with blood and human organs. Obviously, they had killed many people in the previous battle.
The thin knives danced in the air, hitting the monsters' heads again and again. Once the brain was pierced, the monsters would die immediately. That was probably the monster's weakness.
Xia Fan noticed that Sarah did not have two daggers, but seven. The seven daggers were flying slower and slower. Although there were a lot of monster corpses around them, with Sarah's ability, she would not be able to last too long.
Sarah's mind was in chaos. Psychic abilities were known as the strongest brain, but at that moment, her vision was blurred, and her mind was in chaos. She could not even hear the voices around her. Xia Fan was shouting at her, but Sarah could not hear a thing.
She felt that she was about to die and wanted to give up. But in Xia Fan's eyes, she saw a strong desire to live. Unfortunately, Xia Fan was still restrained by the electromagnetic shackles and could not use his speed.
What was he talking about?
She was about to die anyway, so what he said didn't matter, right?
Sarah's last consciousness was slowly thinking. She was not evil at all. In fact, she was very kind. She was so kind that even though she was on the verge of death, she still followed the creed of the law. She felt that even if Xia Fan deserved to die, he should be sentenced to death by the Holy Court. She should not lynch him. She believed in the law and the power of God. This was what she had been taught since she was a child.
God said that everything had the right to live …
