Angel

Tao Yuan's heart tightened, but he nodded calmly, "Okay, get the equipment set up, we'll go in."

"Receive."

After Tao Yu left, Mi Chuchu suddenly glanced at the roof. Tao Yuan subconsciously followed her gaze, but saw nothing.

"What did you see?"

Mi Chuchu frowned. "It seems to be... a cat? It was too dark to see clearly."

"Cat?"

"Call--"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept up large swaths of white paper money from the roadside, sending them flying into the air. The white paper pieces swirled in the air and landed on them.

Everyone became alert and gathered back-to-back around Tao Yuan and Mi Chuchu.

Thump!

The vermilion gate was suddenly blown open by the wind, slamming violently against the wall with a thud, exposing the grand mansion to everyone.

Inside the courtyard, stood a woman dressed in a red wedding robe.

The woman's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her veil partially concealing her beauty. She wore a stunningly beautiful bright red wedding dress, and behind her were large, empty tables and chairs adorned with red "double happiness" characters, silently inviting them to sit down.

Without a second thought, Tao Yuan turned and ran. "Let's go!"

This place looks suspicious; there's no way she'd go in!

The group turned to leave, but before they knew it, they were already standing next to the wedding banquet.

The gloomy courtyard was immediately brightly lit and decorated after they entered. The bright red wedding dresses were as vivid as blood, and the joyful sounds of suona horns accompanied the congratulatory greetings from the guests.

"Please take your seats, esteemed guests, so as not to miss the auspicious time," the steward in a red robe called out.

With everyone busy, Lin Nieran had some free time.

While perfecting his territory, he also kept track of the progress of several cards.

The Black Cat was quite free after going to Wen Keke's territory, and even sneaked into the Instance late at night.

The cat wasn't recognized as a player in the Instance; it could traverse several Instances in one night.

The Doctor is searching for his prey in the Linxi District, Modian is acting like a craftsman in the theater, the Dessert Chef recently went out, and he left the other cards in the Boundless Land without showing up, taking a short break.

What surprised him more was that news of the False Angel Card had already reached him not long after it was released.

Lin Nieran looked up and listened to two customers gossiping while choosing weapons in the store.

"These days, all sorts of strange things happen. In Han Shang City, that city with so many foreigners, an Angel Weird appeared yesterday!"

"Huh? There's such a thing? They probably just made it up again, didn't they? They love making up things they don't actually know."

"This time it's different. Someone said that the strange white wings on its back have Fox Patterns!"

His companion looked shocked. "The organization... no, the devil?"

The speaker had a mysterious look on his face. "Yes, I heard it killed quite a few people in Han Shang City."

"Why would they kill someone? Have these people committed robbery again?" his companion pressed.

The man shrugged. "Because those guys insisted that this angel was an anomaly in their city and wanted to kill the collector."

"Idiot... you're an idiot, aren't you?"

"Who can argue with that?"

"It's understandable, it's understandable."

"But the Han Family of Han Shang City doesn't see it that way. They've already contacted all the experts in Han Shang City, preparing to join forces to kill this strange creature."

His companion pondered, "That's normal. A normal person would definitely kill someone upon hearing something eerie."

"But that's the organization's strange behavior! I heard they even did a regional live stream about it, and lots of people were watching and guessing whether they could kill him."

"Huh? Such a big fuss? They're not really going to kill that weirdo, are they?"

"What's the rush? Those huge wings on that weirdo's back can't be just for show, can they? If they can't win, they can't fly, can they?"

Lin Nieran, who was eavesdropping: He really is just for show; he really can't fly.

Being able to fly might be called a "true angel".

"007, could you secretly 'take' Han Shang City's live stream? I want to watch it too."

007 said righteously, "[Host, this system isn't for you to read gossip.]"

Lin Nieran: "To be honest, have you already secretly looked at it?"

[Live stream has been launched]

Han Shang City is the farthest place from Jiang City, where Lin Nieran is located, and they have little interaction. Therefore, the False Angel Lai'er knows almost nothing about this place.

After being dropped outside the city, he was looking around when his outstanding and unique appearance immediately caught the attention of everyone in Han Shang City.

Because Han Shang City is far from Jiang City and also far from the jurisdiction of various Authorities, even though they had done live broadcasts, they still knew very little about the organization.

All I know is that this organization exists, and that there seem to be two quite capable people in it; that's all I know.

These days, there are quite a few independent organizations, and it's not too strange for a few organizations that make a bit of a splash to show up in a live stream. Therefore, after discovering Lai'er's identity, no one took the organization behind him seriously.

Things only started to go wrong when Lai'er killed two people who tried to forcibly take him away.

Because those two people just happened to be from the Han Family. If you were to ask which city cares most about the status of the Family Clan, it would be Han Shang City.

The hierarchy here has reached an abnormal level; the Family Clan's "honor" cannot be challenged in the slightest.

The honor of their "Family Clan" is more important than their lives.

In the live stream, the sky above Han Shang City was shrouded in dark clouds, looking frighteningly gloomy.

As a city where people from many different countries live together, its architectural style is quite different from other places. Although people today are no longer divided into nationalities and races, most people still have some nostalgia for the countries they once belonged to.

For various reasons, Han Shang City was established.

Compared to the simple, life-oriented architecture of other cities, the buildings here are characterized by their ornate beauty, with each floor of these ancient European-style buildings rising higher than the last.

Rows of milky-white pillars stand neatly along the roadside, their tall shafts adorned with flowing acanthus patterns. Houses stretch out in a continuous line, their facades undulating and staggered, covered with intricate swirling carvings. Spires pierce the clouds, their peaks topped with angel sculptures of varying sizes and poses.

In the center of the street stands the largest angel sculpture, its Long Hair flowing, its eyes gently closed as it holds a harp and sings, the painted surface of the harp casting a dim light from the sky.

What should have been a beautiful and sacred scene is now littered with traces of attacks by Weird Object on the wide streets.

The broken stones collapsed many decorative pillars, and human corpses lay scattered along the roadside, some buried under the rubble.

At the very end of all these things, beneath a colossal angel Statue, stood a blond-haired, black-eyed angel.

The angel had a very handsome face, with two pairs of wings that were at least three meters long spread out behind him. He wore a white-gold, ancient Western-style dress, and his Long Hair golden hair reached his waist, gently gathered up with a golden jeweled headband.

Those wings were several times larger than the angel sculpture behind him.
