Attack the Enemy Headquarters

In the hospital corridor, Fang Li leaned against the wall, holding his phone to his ear, only to be met with a busy signal.

A moment later, Fang Li hung up the phone and closed it, but his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"Shirayuki..."

The image of that gentle, demure girl, like Yamato Nadeshiko, flashed through Fang Li's mind, Fang Li finally had to admit that Shirayuki had been kidnapped.

Otherwise, Shirayuki would never have ignored Fang Li's call.

"No wonder I haven't been receiving many text messages from Shirayuki lately..."

Normally, Shirayuki would send Fang Li text messages almost every day, and in a frantic barrage, she wouldn't stop until she had filled up the maximum number of text messages Fang Li's phone could receive.

Previously, during the bus hijacking incident, it was also Shirayuki who sent a text message, making Fang Li realize that the bomb might explode, which is why he used Invisible Bullet to deflect the bomb from Aria's hand.

However, in the past few days, Shirayuki has hardly sent any text messages, and yesterday she didn't send a single one.

Fang Li initially thought that Shirayuki was busy with training, which was why she hadn't bothered him.

It seems that something has probably happened to Shirayuki Xue.

"Yi-You..."

Fang Li's hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily.

"Smack..."

With a crisp sound, the fragile phone was crushed in Fang Li's hand.

At the same time, Riko, dressed in a hospital gown, came out of the ward, looked at Fang Li leaning against the wall, and then at the phone that had been crushed in his hand, and said, "It seems that the Demonic Sword has been obtained."

"The Demonic Sword?" Fang Li turned his gaze to Riko and said, "So, the Demonic Sword is a member of I-Yu?"

Fang Li had heard of this name before.

Because it's a rather famous urban legend.

It is said that someone has been secretly kidnapping various beings with superpowers.

This person is the Demonic Sword.

Since no one has ever seen the Demonic Sword in person, everyone considers it to be an urban legend.

It now seems that the Demonic Sword truly exists.

Moreover, this Demonic Sword was a member of Yi-You, who kidnapped Shirayuki while Fang Li was away from Shirayuki.

"Because the Demonic Sword is a strategist, not a warrior, if he thinks it's unlikely that the Gun Magician will succeed while the target is nearby, then he will naturally have to strike when you're not around." Riko met Fang Li's gaze and said, "Judging from this timeframe, the Demonic Sword should have taken its target back to I-Yu, and I'm afraid Shirayuki Hoshigami won't be coming back."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li closed his eyes.

A moment later, Fang Li opened his eyes again, looked at Riko, and said this.

"Tell me how to get to I-You."

"Wh... what?" Riko was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in surprise, "Do you mean you want to go to the Shirayuki Hoshigami?"

Fang Li didn't answer, but just stared at Riko, silently expressing his feelings.

"Impossible." Riko said without thinking, "Even if you defeat Vlad and try to rescue people from I-Yuri, it's absolutely impossible. There are too many people there who are stronger than me, and there's also a professor there. You can't possibly succeed."

"Professor?" Fang Li ignored Riko's words and instead focused on a key word in Riko statement.

"The professor is the current leader of I-Yu." Riko didn't hide it, or rather, it was too late to hide it now, so she simply revealed it, saying, "The reason Vlad is only No. 2 is because he can't beat the professor. That person is just too terrifying."

As she said this, Riko's eyes showed not only apprehension but also a complex expression.

However, I think everyone would agree with Riko's words.

What is Yi-You?

That's a terrifying organization that has been cultivating superhumans since World War II and continues to uphold that ideal to this day.

Today, this society contains countless superhumans, including some capable of defeating Vlad. It's easy to imagine how terrifying the society's power is.

Although Fang Li easily defeated Vlad, it was because Fang Li firmly restrained Vlad.

In I-Yuri, the current leader defeated Vlad, who possessed an immortal body, without any restraint, demonstrating his formidable strength.

With all those superheroes Fang Li, how could Fang Li possibly rescue Shirayuki by himself?

I'm afraid that by then, even Fang Li won't be able to come back.

However, for Fang Li, that kind of thing was fine no matter what.

So what if it's dangerous?

Haven't I experienced enough danger myself?

Anyway, we've been living a peaceful life in this world for a year and a half now, it's time to take some risks.

At least, Fang Li couldn't bear to leave the girl who had always taken care of him wholeheartedly, even taking care of his daily life, to die.

At that moment, Fang Li didn't say anything more, but just looked at Riko with his usual calm in his eyes.

Looking at Fang Li like this, Riko opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't say anything. She lowered her head and said softly, "It seems that Shirayuki is very important to you."

Fang Li smiled slightly and said, "Because that girl is one of the few friends I have in this world."

"Not many?" Riko was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, not many." Fang Li glanced at Riko and said this as if it were nothing.

"You are the same."

Riko was truly stunned upon hearing this.

The next second, a smile finally appeared on Riko's face again.

That smile, just like before, was both cheerful and lively.

"I'm truly satisfied to hear you say that, Riko."

As she said this, Riko moved her petite body closer to Fang Li, and whispered in Fang Li ear with hot breath.

"Riko will send all the information that Riri wants to your computer."

"So, don't forget to pay Riko the intelligence fee when you get back."

"If you don't pay, Riko won't let it go."

After leaving those words, Riko turned around and went straight back to her hospital room.

Fang Li knew that Riko didn't want to have any unnecessary hesitation.

Because doing so would be considered a betrayal of Yi-You.

However, Fang Li didn't have the energy to say anything more.

Because the system's notification sound was also ringing in his mind.

"Number 11273 triggers A-Class Side Mission: Attack the Superman Training Institute."

"Mission objective: Infiltrate I-Yu's headquarters and defeat I-Yu's current leader."

"Task Reward: 20,000 Exchange Points"
