"Now that Ophelia has proven her worth, she can read your opponent's information for you. Can we take her along?" Li Xieqian said.
Lin Feng looked at Ophelia, who was still a bit weak, and a playful smile curved his lips.
"Since it's come to this, let's take her!"
Could he *not* take her? This person seemed about to say something extraordinary just now, but Lin Feng had stopped her.
If he didn't take her, how could he find out what she wanted to say!
"Alright then, you two go to this location and prepare." Li Xieqian sent a set of coordinates to their communicators.
"The selection begins tomorrow. You can spend tonight communicating your abilities to facilitate cooperation."
"Ophelia, you are a support role. Your commands are subject to Shanhai's. For now, you will listen to him. Do you understand?"
Facing Li Xieqian's instructions, Ophelia nodded without speaking, appearing incredibly docile.
"Alright, we'll go prepare!" Lin Feng stood up and walked out.
As he passed Ophelia, Lin Feng smiled at her.
"Let's go, what was that witch's name again?"
A hint of fear flickered in Ophelia's eyes. She didn't dare say more and followed.
Special ocular abilities? This piqued Lin Feng's interest.
He had initially thought Ophelia's ability to gather personal intel was useless.
But just now, when Ophelia said something about Shanhai, Lin Feng's scalp tingled.
This was clearly his danger premonition kicking in.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng enveloped her in a biological force field. If she had continued, she wouldn't have survived.
Watching the two disappear down the corridor, Li Xieqian narrowed his eyes.
Shanhai, huh...
A flicker of struggle crossed his eyes, but he eventually let out a heavy sigh.
Everyone had their secrets, and that was fine.
But even if he were an idiot, he knew Ophelia's reaction just now was abnormal.
Li Xieqian didn't know what Ophelia had seen to be so terrified...
But whatever it was, it was all related to Shanhai.
He could only pray that Shanhai wasn't a traitor.
If it were anyone else, Li Xieqian would have immediately turned on them and interrogated them thoroughly.
But Shanhai...
Li Xieqian was unwilling to admit it, but sometimes, facing Shanhai put immense pressure on him.
He probably couldn't defeat Shanhai.
...
The coordinates Li Xieqian provided led to a very small planet.
There was nothing on this planet except for a small hut.
No need to ask, Li Xieqian's intention was clearly for the two of them to wait here for the selection to begin.
Inside the hut, apart from a table and chairs, there was nothing else.
Lin Feng sat down and casually took out the teapot he had previously used, starting to brew tea.
Ophelia stood by the door, silent.
However, she no longer wore her signature black hood.
"Sit down, are you standing guard?" Lin Feng gestured for her to sit.
Ophelia silently walked over and chose a seat farthest from Lin Feng.
Lin Feng touched his face.
Was he that terrifying?
When he had released the biological force field, he had carefully controlled its intensity.
Hmm...
After a moment of thought, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something.
He looked at the silent Ophelia and asked, "What were you trying to say about Shanhai earlier?"
Ophelia flinched again, making Lin Feng frown.
Why so jumpy? What was wrong with her?
"I wasn't trying to say anything. I was saying Shanhai is very strong, and we have a great chance of making the top ten this time!"
Ophelia's pale face forced a smile.
Lin Feng scoffed.
That smile looked incredibly strained.
"No one can lie to me."
"Of course, I'm not some great villain."
"If you tell me the truth, it will save everyone time and effort, won't it?"
"Or do you prefer a more forceful approach?"
Lin Feng's calm tone was laced with menace.
He disliked pointless bickering.
In his eyes, it was either speak, or die. There was no other choice.
"I..."
Ophelia shifted uncomfortably, fear and struggle evident in her eyes.
Lin Feng tapped the table, pondered for a moment, then beckoned Ophelia over.
Immediately, her communicator flew uncontrollably towards Lin Feng.
Ophelia stared, stunned.
This device wasn't easily removed once worn.
It wasn't just a communication device for the Black Robes; it also had a surveillance function.
Once worn, it could only be removed under two circumstances:
One, the bonded wearer had died.
Second, Li Xieqian, through the Black Robes system, allowed the binding to be released.
As Ophelia watched, Lin Feng removed his own communicator and placed both devices on the table.
With a wave of his hand, a semi-transparent barrier enveloped the communicators.
Simultaneously, the entire room was encased in a similar semi-transparent barrier.
"Now, no one can monitor this room, nor you and me."
"You have one chance. Speak, what information did you obtain from me just now?"
"And what's with your eyes?"
Removing the communicator was difficult, but that was for others.
For Lin Feng, it was just an ordinary wristband.
This way, whatever Ophelia said, Li Xieqian wouldn't be able to hear or suspect anything.
Ophelia touched her wrist, her gaze towards Lin Feng complex.
"Really, no one can hear?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Speak, I'll give you ten minutes. I hope you're a smart person."
Lin Feng raised his wrist to check the time. He wore a wristwatch given to him by Susan.
"I'll tell you!"
A female voice suddenly rang out.
Ophelia's body seemed to split like a cracked mirror, dividing into two.
Ah, the Twin Witches!
The one who spoke was the more mature-looking one who had just appeared.
Lin Feng remained silent, looking at them, his meaning clear: begin your performance.
"I am Ophelia!" the mature-looking Ophelia said.
She pointed to the Ophelia who had just spoken to Lin Feng and continued, "This is my sister, Ophelina!"
"We are one body, two souls..."
Lin Feng waved his hand, interrupting her.
"Skip the preamble, get to the point!"
He had no interest in hearing about sisters.
Ophelia paused for a moment.
"What she was about to say was that you are not Shanhai..."
Ophelina's eyes widened. She tugged at Ophelia's sleeve.
"Sister!"
Ophelia returned a helpless look.
"Whether we say it or not, we can't escape. Our luck is just that bad."
"If we don't say it, we might not even leave this room today..."
