Li Yuan suddenly flipped over, twisting her waist and hips like a tigress, pinning Chen Mo down on the bed.
With the empowerment of her Anger Value, she momentarily gained the upper hand.
"You scoundrel, you dare, you dare... I'm going all out against you!"
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with anger as she raised her hand to strike down.
Chen Mo quickly grabbed her wrist, his voice deep, "Get it clear, it was you who fell for an Illusion Technique and clung to me relentlessly. I was merely trying to wake you up."
While saying this, Chen Mo felt a bit guilty.
Initially, it was indeed to awaken her, but it felt too good as it went on and it became more exhilarating...
He got overly immersed and somewhat lost himself.
"Illusion Technique?"
Thinking about the scenes in the Illusory World, Li Yuan's expression turned slightly unnatural.
"Even so, considering our gender differences, you shouldn't hit there..."
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "General Li thinks too much, I have never seen you as a woman."
Hearing this, Li Yuan's gaze turned colder.
"Jerk!"
She tried to slap him, but found her hands firmly clamped down.
Seeing Chen Mo's smug look, she was infuriated beyond care and bit hard on his shoulder!
"Hiss!"
Chen Mo took a sharp intake of cold air.
She really is a fierce woman, biting people now?
Just then, a sound of gongs came from outside on the street:
"Dong! —— Dong! Dong!"
One slow, two fast, indicating that it was already Midnight Hour.
Chen Mo frowned.
With frequent violent crimes in the city and everyone closing their doors, who would still be out patrolling?
They're really overdoing their duty!
"Hey, stop biting, something's not right!"
"Mmm mmm mmm!"
Li Yuan, engrossed, wouldn't listen and kept biting unrelentingly.
Chen Mo, experienced in dealing with this, raised his hand and slapped her.
Slap!
"E~"
Li Yuan made a strange noise from her throat.
The fiery pain mixed with an indescribable flavor weakened her, causing her to unconsciously let go.
Chen Mo didn't linger any further with her and rushed out of the room.
Li Yuan collapsed weakly on the bed, her chest heaving, as if all her bones had been pulled out.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Once calmed, she realized the urgency of the situation.
She struggled to her feet, leaning on Stray Blade, and staggeringly followed out.
...
The night was dim.
Chen Mo moved swiftly across rooftops.
"Dong! —— Dong! Dong!"
The patrolling sounds reverberated at the street corners, maintaining a fluctuating distance from him.
Every time it seemed he was about to catch up, the next moment, the sound shifted to another street.
"Playing hide and seek with me?"
Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Following the pattern of one death every three days, there was a high chance of a crime tonight.
And Lady Liu, even at the risk of exposing her identity, had to detain him, indicating the crucial importance of this night to her.
Now being Midnight Hour, only half an hour was left till dawn.
No matter what the other party was planning, the key moment was now!
Chen Mo didn't hesitate; he added his remaining True Spirit to "Wind and Thunder Release," boosting this Body Movement Martial Skill from Mastery to Small Success.
True Yuan surged, and thunderlight appeared under his feet.
His speed instantly soared, thunderous as he zoomed away!
Boom!
Crossing several blocks, the figure wrapped in thunderlight crashed down in the middle of the street!
"Dong! —— Dong! Dong!"
Chen Mo looked up.
The patrol sound was close at hand, yet there was no one in sight.
Suddenly, the gong sounds stopped.
The night wind whimpered, the cobblestones empty and the moonlight stretched the shadows long.
"The hour has come."
It seemed like a sigh in the wind.
Then, sudden noises broke the silence.
