"What’s wrong? Captain, are you not going to personally pick up Yelai because of the curse on you?"
As soon as the question was asked, the previously lively atmosphere fell into a sudden silence. Yezi and the other team members wore complex expressions. The teasing and joking about Luo Zhenxue had vanished, replaced by a sense of complexity.
From the content of Luo Zhenxue's phone calls with Yelai, they understood how deeply in love the two were. This was just over the phone, and it was easy to imagine that Luo Zhenxue must be eager to see Yelai as soon as possible.
"Yes," Luo Zhenxue replied with a bitter smile. "If it were just a curse from the Believers, I could find a way to resolve it. But this is a curse exchanged for my life with the Entity by the Believers. It belongs to the Entity, and I can't break it easily. So it's not just that I can't pick up Yelai; until I lift this curse, I won't be able to see her."
As she spoke, she glanced at the mirror beside her once more.
In the mirror, she looked stunning—beautiful like an ethereal being, breathtakingly so. Who would have thought that beneath this beautiful exterior lay a terrifying curse? On the back of her neck, hidden beneath her long hair, was a strange tattoo that resembled a symbol but upon closer inspection appeared to be some form of ancient script, reminiscent of ancient Chinese characters.
Seeing this, Yezi, the most emotional among the team members, bit her lip and said through gritted teeth, "Those Believers deserve to die! They know your greatest weakness is Yelai, which is why they placed that curse on you to keep you from seeing her."
In response to Yezi's righteous anger, Luo Zhenxue gently ruffled her hair and reassured her, "It's okay. I just need some time to figure it out. Once I break it, everything will be fine."
"Captain, you let Yelai reach Rank 8. It can't be just because of that," Yezi said, as if realizing something.
Luo Zhenxue did not deny it.
"I was surprised that Yelai could become a Sequencer and reach Rank [ ], truly impressive. However, no matter how quickly he advances, the higher he goes, the slower his progress will be. Achieving Rank [ ] and then Rank 8 will take a considerable amount of time. I can use this period to deal with the curse."
She then looked at Yezi and the others, speaking in a serious tone. "So during this time, you must not tell Yelai about the curse. He needs to focus on the matters concerning the Li Family. I don't want him to worry about me. If any of you dare to leak information about my curse, don't blame me for kicking you out of my team. Do you understand?"
Her voice was solemn, as cold as ice and snow.
If it were to leak out, no matter how good their relationship was, Luo Zhenxue would not show any mercy.
"We understand!" Yezi and the others replied solemnly.
Luo Zhenxue's expression finally softened a bit.
"Captain, you haven't seen Yelai for a long time. Won't he notice something odd? I remember you often say that Yelai is very smart."
"That's why I need you all to help me cover it up. Additionally, I will coordinate with the association to ensure our Squad is constantly on missions. As long as we keep going out, Yelai won't become suspicious in the short term."
Meanwhile, in the Safe Zone at Yelai's home...
"Yelai, why don't you stay in the Numbered Protection Zone? Li Yanlin is Rank 8; it's too dangerous for you to be outside," Zhang Yinlin said with her brows furrowed.
After finishing his call with Luo Zhenxue, Yelai, who had a sisterly relationship with them, habitually shared what he had discussed.
"It's fine; it's not that dangerous. Besides, Zhenxue and her teammates are there for support. And I have Eyeballs as my life-saving Secret Artifact."
"Also, while Li Yanlin is indeed strong at Rank 8, as long as I can reach Rank 8 quickly myself, she won't be able to do anything to me."
Zhang Yinlin was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and then couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"You boast like that, but that's Rank Eight! How do you expect to reach it quickly? Do you think this is about weight? Just eat a bit and suddenly go from ten to eighty pounds?"
