Chapter 633: Chapter 300: Man and Shadow
The Sheepskin Demon was once very strong.
But in order to cross over to this world, it had already dispersed all its power and had to start all over again. And then there’s the disparity between the two worlds...
In order to match the power of the other side, it needed several times, even dozens of times the strength to suppress and control the situation.
The unequal power exchange ratio and the difficulty of the process made it hardly cost-effective.
"Compared to that, that guy..."
The Sheepskin Demon thought of the Believer who was still hunting it down.
"That guy, he’s just like a Monster! How can he put one hundred percent of his power into this world? How did he do it?"
The Sheepskin Demon felt a chill. If it weren’t for its life-saving techniques and setting up a Clone pretending to escape to the edge of the city, while actually secretly hiding in the city’s sewers, it would have been killed by that person long ago.
"As long as that Believer is not dead, I will never have a peaceful day! It’s like being tied hand and foot in everything I do!"
"What a pity, I thought I could turn that woman’s kid into a demon and find an opportunity to ambush her..."
Pfft!
Gasping for breath, the Sheepskin Demon suddenly widened its eyes and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In an instant, injury was added to injury.
It knew that the Clone set up as Qingshui District’s security guard had also been found and dealt with.
Efficiency... it’s really fast.
The tricks it had were becoming more and more familiar to that Believer, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable!
"I must lie low... I must lie low for a while and recover some strength first, I need time..."
"After all these days of turmoil, that Believer must have become paranoid and weary, which should buy me enough time to regain my strength."
"I hope that [Qi] can start moving soon and help draw the firepower away."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, who would have thought that one day I would count on [Qi] to help me..."
...
Qingshui District.
Accompanied by a series of sudden brakes, a group of black-clad bodyguards emerged from the motorcade.
Standing in front of them was their employer, Qi Xiaojin.
Qi Xiaojin had an indifferent expression on her face, having just dealt with a Clone of the Sheepskin Demon disguised as a district security guard.
She thought she had guarded every place she could, but to her surprise, her own driver had been compromised!
Even the district’s security personnel had encountered problems.
That Sheepskin Demon was much more cunning than she had thought.
At this moment, Qi Xiaojin started seeing demons in everyone, and a sense of irritation began to grow within her.
"First, check everyone in the district to ensure no demons are still lurking."
"Also, the district is no longer safe, just in case, we need to speed up the progress of the safety house that is already in preparation."
Ideally, the district would be kept safe.
After all, it holds many fond memories for Qi Xiaojin and allows her to retain the biggest advantage - memories of her past life.
However, it is also important to have a fallback plan in case something really does go wrong.
That’s why Qi Xiaojin had been considering whether to set up a safety house outside since her rebirth.
Initally, it was just designing and preparation; instructing people to buy supplies, designing the electrical plans for the safety house, escape routes, refrigeration systems, and so on.
The construction only began on an experimental basis recently.
This was originally a long-term plan.
Counted in years, to build the safety house step by step before the coming of the apocalypse.
But now, everything must be accelerated.
Even if it is just a prototype, she wants to get the safety house built first; subsequent additions like the refrigeration system, generators, supplies, self-circulating agricultural systems, and so forth, would have to be fitted in slowly later.
With the plan in mind, Qi Xiaojin took a deep breath and made a phone call.
Then, with a wave of her hand, she took her bodyguards and started conducting house-to-house searches throughout the district.
The safety house was handled by professionals in charge of supervision and construction; she only needed to control the general direction, the rest did not require her immediate attention.
What she now needed to ensure was the security of the district.
To give Fang Yu a safe and stable environment to grow, otherwise, external stimulation could cause Fang Yu’s development in the game to deviate from his past life.
This is something Qi Xiaojin did not want to see.
To tell the truth, Qi Xiaojin also didn’t know what the situation had been in the past district, but she hadn’t heard of any demons or major news, until the apocalypse changed everything.
It’s possible that Fang Yu did something discreetly in his past life that no one knew about, unreported.
Or it’s possible that, with her rebirth, the world has indeed changed.
Regardless, Qi Xiaojin now needs to stabilize the situation and ensure a smooth transition to the time of the apocalypse.
The butterfly’s wings have influenced some things, and Qi Xiaojin wants to stop these changes, at least to prevent them from affecting Fang Yu.
After taking a group and conducting a thorough check, it was unfortunate, but there were no gains.
The Sheepskin Demon probably hadn’t arranged any more people in the district, but this was not the end, just a temporary repulsion. The Sheepskin Demon would inevitably return.
"Too good at hiding!"
Qi Xiaojin clenched her fist, her gaze icy cold.
"If I had an Artifact for detecting demons, or if my own strength improved further, I would surely be able to track that guy down!"
Being anxious is useless.
Qi Xiaojin forced herself to calm down.
Aside from arranging for the already screened security to patrol in turns and strengthen defense, Qi Xiaojin also planned to improve her strength in the game as soon as possible.
After all, the power she possesses for a short time when she untangles the Lock of Human Sins in the game is equivalent to her real-world strength.
