At the same time, Yelai faced off against the Shadow Person in the Numbered Protection Zone, specifically at the Li Family Stronghold.
Li Yanlin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, moonlight streaming through the glass and illuminating her enchanting features. However, she wasn't in the mood to admire her beauty as she usually would; instead, she was on a phone call.
"Are you sure the person you're looking for is reliable? I can't afford to fail again."
In response to Li Yanlin's stern inquiry, a voice came through the phone.
"Rest assured, this is my agency's top assassin. The failure rate is minimal. The last failure was because he was targeting the captain of the Special Team Number's Sequence Team."
"I might still have doubts about others, but I can guarantee the assassin I've arranged for you this time."
The person on the other end spoke with confidence and proceeded to share some information about the assassin with Li Yanlin, an old client.
Before the emergence of Anomalous Entity, Old Shadow had been a top assassin. Even after entering Sequence, he continued in his old profession, choosing to connect with the suitable Anomalous Entity known as "Shadow" to gain access to Sequence "Shadow." He thrived in this era of Sequence, boasting a low failure rate that made him highly favored by clients.
While this conversation unfolded, on the other side of the Numbered Protection Zone, by the tranquil lake in the safety zone, Shadow Person stared at the still surface of the water, frowning in silence.
He hadn't anticipated failing, especially not at the hands of a Sequencer ranked lower than him, which allowed his target to escape. The key was that he had no way to counteract it at that moment.
As he pondered how to resolve his current predicament, Yelai was also busy.
"The nightmare of the night, the invincible nightmare of darkness—aren't you coming in? Otherwise, how will you kill me? There’s only a little time left."
He glanced at his watch.
"In just a few hours it will be dawn. When daylight comes, there will be no more darkness; you won't be invincible anymore. You won't be able to kill me then."
"Come in quickly!"
"Why are you ignoring me? Can't you hear me? I call out to you, do you dare to respond?! The invincible nightmare of the night!!"
You remain motionless. Do you not understand what I'm saying? Then let me speak in English.
"Nightmare of the Invincible Night," Yelai repeated in English.
It was supposed to be Shadow Person provoking Yelai with words, but now it was completely reversed, with Yelai stimulating Shadow Person instead.
Shadow Person's eyelids twitched.
This was the first time in his life that he had been pointed at and taunted by his target after attempting to kill. It was impossible for him not to feel anger, but he refrained from impulsively entering the mirror world. He still had self-awareness.
In the night, he was indeed powerful, but he was ultimately suited for assassination. Once he entered the mirror world, he would no longer be facing a target for assassination; instead, he would be surrounded and hunted down.
In the end, he could only leave behind one sentence: "You can't stay in the mirror world forever. When you come out, I will find you again. But before that, I hope you can survive the side effects of Black Fairy Tale."
He hadn't forgotten that Yelai had taken Black Fairy Tale. That was deadly; very few people survived after taking it.
Then, he slipped into the shadows and left. As he exited this safe zone, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Oh? Old Shadow, have you completed your mission? You're a bit slow today. Did you waste time looking for those Eyeballs on your target?"
But before the voice on the other end could finish its teasing, Shadow Person coldly replied, "The first assassination failed."
Um?
