Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1048 - 188

"Brother Xiao Yuan." Lin Shuyou quickly ran up to the terrace, "Brother Bin said the coordinates representing Zhao Yi on the map just changed very suddenly."

"Hmm, he probably escaped."

This did not surprise Li Zhiyuan.

Zhao Yi, someone he himself wanted to eliminate, couldn't possibly die so easily.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, could Zhao Yi be heading our way now?"

"Probably."

"What about the Yu Family, could they..."

"I don't know, I can't deduce her behavior logic, for example, right now."

Li Zhiyuan looked up, in the distant sky, a bird with a broken wing was circling.

It flew with difficulty, and from it, one could see the current miserable state of Zhao Yi and his group.

After a cry, the bird began to descend.

Li Zhiyuan didn't use the Array to block it.

Lin Shuyou raised his arm, letting that bird land on it.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, should we send a warning message to Zhao Yi?"

Li Zhiyuan nodded: "Hmm."

"Alright." Lin Shuyou reached out and stroked the bird's beak, "Little bird, go back and tell Zhao..."

Before Lin Shuyou could finish speaking, a hand reached over and grabbed the bird's neck.

"Crack!"

The bird's neck was snapped, and its body fell to the ground.

Lin Shuyou turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him who was lightly clapping his hands, removing feathers from his fingertips.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, so that's it, I didn't understand deeply enough."

Killing the bird so it couldn't return was the most direct warning, wasn't it?

Li Zhiyuan looked at the bird's corpse by his feet, repeating the earlier phrase:

"Alas, I really can't understand her."

...

A Yuan carried a box of soda, bending over as he walked out of the village store.

The old lady at the store shouted at his back:

"Remember to bring back the empty bottles for a deposit refund after you finish them!"

A Yuan waved his hand.

The old lady couldn't figure out whether he acknowledged her or simply didn't care about the deposit.

Yu Miaomiao sat on the stone slab by the canal. Though the spot was a bit far from the inn, it was still visible.

"A Yuan, I really don't like that guy. Although we are the same age, when sitting across from each other, I can't see through him, but he seems to see through me."

A Yuan shook his head, indicating the young lady couldn't be seen through.

Because he had followed the young lady for so long and still couldn't see through her.

"Do you think he's cautious, or just too lazy to play with those small fry? By now, he still hasn't left the inn."

A Yuan made a sound of agreement, indicating he agreed with the latter.

After all, for someone who could suppress that piece of broken jade for so long and set up such an intricate Array by hand, it seemed he didn't want to waste effort, only seeking to join the game.

Yu Miaomiao patted her head and sighed:

"They say eating your brain can make one smarter. Thinking back to when my parents wanted to pry open your skull and stew it for me when I was young, I shouldn't have run up to protect you, which now makes me feel not smart enough."

A Yuan raised his hand, aiming at his own forehead, ready to open his skull.

"But now, thankfully, I didn't eat your brain; you're so stupid, eating it might have made me even dumber."

A Yuan lowered his hand, took a bottle of soda from the box, flicked the cap open with his fingers, then inserted a straw and offered it to the young lady.

Yu Miaomiao took the soda, bit the straw, took a sip, then curiously removed it, smacking her lips:

"Somehow, drinking through a straw tastes different than drinking directly."

A Yuan also opened a bottle for himself, inserted a straw, and began to drink.

"But I feel when he drank this in front of me, there was a vibe I can't describe."

Yu Miaomiao first rested the soda bottle on her knee, then picked it up, took a sip, and immediately frowned:

"I can't mimic that feeling. Forget it, next time there's an opportunity, let's just catch him and kill him to get rid of the trouble."

A Yuan nodded in agreement.

But soon, A Yuan's head tilted, and then he shook it forcefully.

Yu Miaomiao's voice lowered: "That bird you controlled, is it dead?"

A Yuan nodded.

"Alas, I was thinking of having you use it to send false messages for an easy catch, but unexpectedly it ended up delivering a true message for him. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

No good, my brain really isn't working. Hahaha, I even laughed at my own stupidity."

Yu Miaomiao stood up.

A Yuan extended his arm, lifting the young girl onto his back.

He started running swiftly, and during the run, light and shadow folded around him, gradually making it seem as if there was only wind, but no trace of a person.

...

Sun Yan's face was sorrowful, arms hanging down, as she pursed her cracked, bleeding lips:

"Xiaobao is dead."

"Smack!"

Zhao Yi slapped Sun Yan across the face.

"What are you spacing out for? Everyone's dead, and you're not running yet!"

Zhao Yi immediately turned back, abandoning the inn.

Sun Yan, woken by the slap, followed Zhao Yi and Xu Ming in fleeing.

In fact, Zhao Yi knew that his subordinate wasn't usually so emotional, but the recent extreme escape had thinned her mental fortitude. In such a state, it was easy for one to want to give up.

However, even if they changed direction now, where could they possibly flee?

He'd already sacrificed the Mountain Girl to create a chance to break through the encirclement. Now, the piece of broken jade was again emitting corpse energy, and the pursuit would soon follow.

Originally, he hoped to seek refuge in the inn, counting on a silent agreement with that Li kid to open the Array and let him in.
