Losing the protection of Eyeballs, Zhong Zhi instantly revealed himself.
Yelai was quick on his feet, darting around to stand in front of him. He reached out and grabbed Eyeballs, delivering a powerful kick to Zhong Zhi's knee.
A chilling scream echoed through the forest.
Zhong Zhi's leg was shattered by Yelai's kick, twisting at a ninety-degree angle as he fell to the ground, clutching his leg in agony.
Yelai showed no mercy; he lifted his foot and stomped down again, the sound of shattered kneecap resonating as he broke Zhong Zhi's other leg.
Listening to Zhong Zhi's anguished cries, Yelai casually dug at his ear with his pinky before delivering a kick that struck Zhong Zhi on the head.
However, he controlled his strength, merely knocking Zhong Zhi unconscious.
"Carry him, follow me."
Yelai lifted Zhong Zhi like a chick and tossed him onto the shoulder of Gaze, who was trailing behind.
At the corner of the path,
"Yelai's back!"
Xiao Jun suddenly called out, alerting everyone around Zhang Yinlin as they turned their attention.
Since Yelai had gone after Zhong Zhi with three others, they weren't worried about Yelai's safety; their only concern was whether he would be able to find Zhong Zhi.
The reason for their worry was simple. With Luo Zhenxue in the Numbered Protection Zone, Zhang Yinlin had learned about the reasons behind Zhong Zhi's exile and that he possessed a Secret Artifact.
During this time, they had been anxious about whether Yelai could catch Zhong Zhi.
But now, there was no need for concern.
"Don't possess others."
Yelai waved at Zhang Yinlin in the distance while also giving instructions to Gaze.
Suddenly, at Yelai's gesture, Zhang Yinlin and the others dared to approach.
Zhong Zhi was dead? Thankfully, he wasn't. The Fifth Squad Captain stepped forward, reaching out to check Zhong Zhi's breath, which lay discarded on the ground.
Zhang Yinlin didn't care about Zhong Zhi; she quickly pulled Yelai aside. "Yelai, when you captured Zhong Zhi, did you get that thing? The one he had in his mouth—the Eyeballs?"
"Yes." Yelai reached into his pocket and opened his palm to reveal a strangely shaped Eyeballs.
"This is what you meant, right, Sister Yinlin?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Zhang Yinlin wrapped her fingers around Yelai's hand to secure the Eyeballs and said in a low voice, "This thing is a Secret Artifact—it's very powerful. Don't let outsiders know about it. Secret Artifacts are hard to find; if discovered, it could lead to deadly trouble."
The rarity of a Secret Artifact would attract attention no matter where it was kept in a Safe Zone. Even if Yelai was Rank Six, Sequencers would covet the Eyeballs.
"Yinlin, is this the Secret Artifact you told me about before that Zhong Zhi had?"
"Yes." Zhang Yinlin nodded. She had previously shared detailed information about Zhong Zhi with Yelai, including that he possessed a Secret Artifact.
"We should interrogate Zhong Zhi later and ask how to use this thing."
Looking at the Eyeballs in his hand, Yelai chose not to attempt using it just yet. Although using a Secret Artifact didn't require a price and could be utilized by ordinary people, it needed to be done correctly; otherwise, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.
The reason for caution was simple.
No one can be deemed absolutely safe or harmless when it comes to the Sequence.
On the other side, the Fifth Squad Captain was also busy. He personally placed Zhong Zhi in Sequence Handcuffs, reflecting on the situation.
Who would have thought that our Safe Zone's mascot, the Rank【Four】Sequence Handcuffs, would one day actually come in handy?
Uncle Zhou glanced at Zhong Zhi's broken legs and exhaled a puff of smoke. Even without the Sequence Handcuffs, I believe Zhong Zhi wouldn't be able to escape.
