My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Mm." Leng Yihan nodded.

"That's good. Just get a general understanding of the tactics. Most of the time, it's about improvising. Plans can never keep up with changes," Lin Kang said. "Oh, by the way, I'm going to talk to the others first. You can go back to your room or stay here. That's all." Lin Kang tossed a key to Leng Yihan and left, leaving Leng Yihan bewildered in the wind.

But a key... So I guess I'll have to sleep with Leng Binglan again? These people... Oh well, I won't be able to put my mind at ease otherwise.

"Brother, are we going back?" Leng Binglan walked up and sat on Leng Yihan's lap, asking him.

“Hmm… if possible, I’d like to go take a look over there…” Leng Yihan pointed to the white-clad man not far away, the one who was the leader.

"Alright, let's go together." Leng Binglan immediately got down when she heard Leng Yihan say that, and pulled Leng Yihan along with her.

Leng Yihan didn't resist and followed him. However, the leader was quite busy at the moment, with a group of big shots chatting and laughing. Seeing this, Leng Yihan hesitated again, not daring to interrupt...

Damn it, that conversation between the big shots...

"Hmm? Yihan, what brings you here? Have you finished looking into things?" Suddenly, Xiao Yulin, who was chatting with the leader, saw Leng Yihan and greeted her.

The gazes that had been focused on the leader immediately shifted to Leng Yihan, and everyone curiously sized up the handsome boy.

"Ah...yes, I was just curious and came to take a look." Leng Yihan smiled awkwardly.

"Oh? You're Leng Yihan?" The old woman in charge looked at Leng Yihan with interest.

“Hmm…” Leng Yihan nodded.

"That's perfect. I was worried you'd run off first. Come on over, I have something I want to tell you..."

204 Vaccines

Leng Yihan returned to her room in a daze, naturally followed by Leng Binglan, since the two shared a room.

"...Brother, what's wrong? What did he say just now? That person..." Seeing Leng Yihan's distraught appearance, Leng Binglan couldn't bear it any longer and asked.

"What did he say... I guess it was a heads-up for me." Leng Yihan gave a wry smile.

-

"Huh? You want to talk to me alone...?" Leng Yihan was a little confused. This guy with such a high position and power... wants to chat with an ordinary citizen like him?

"Okay, let's talk alone," the leader said, stepping out of the crowd. Everyone tactfully continued their own conversation, not disturbing the two.

"If it's convenient, how about we go over to that corner and chat?" The leader said, glancing at Leng Binglan.

“…Okay.” Leng Binglan replied, turned around and walked into the crowd, presumably to Kang Meng’s side.

"You're awake. Let's go." The leader turned to look at him, a gentle smile on his face.

The leader is definitely good-looking; Leng Yihan dares to say that, if possible, he would be like a protagonist in a novel.

Putting aside her looks, the terrifying power she possesses is enough to rival dozens of Leng Yihans in the present day. It's no wonder that she became the leader of this alliance.

After walking to the corner, perhaps the leader noticed that Leng Yihan was not good at starting conversations, so he took the initiative and said, "Hello, my name is Yi Tianzhai." Yi Tianzhai introduced himself first.

"Ah... hello, I am Leng Yihan. May I ask... what does Mr. Yi Tianzhai want with me?" Leng Yihan asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I'm just giving you a heads-up," Yi Tianzhai said. "You... came to save a girl, right?"

"Yes." Leng Yihan nodded vigorously. "Yes, I came here to find Lin Yin..."

“Alright, I can grant you one request,” Yi Tianzhai said. “Once you find that girl, if possible, take her away immediately. You won’t need to participate in the upcoming battle. But… you should know that that girl… has been there for a long time. I don’t know what might happen to her.”

Leng Yihan paused for a moment, then raised her head and looked firmly into Yi Tianzhai's eyes: "I will definitely bring her back, definitely."

“…Okay, I will try my best to help you. As for why…you don’t need to be curious. Someone has already paid the price.” Yi Tianzhai gestured towards the crowd. Leng Yihan knew that he was talking about Kang Meng, or perhaps Xiao Yulin.

"Thank you..." Leng Yihan said.

“…Never mind, I’ll tell you anyway.” Yi Tianzhai’s words startled Leng Yihan. Was there something he had been keeping from her?

"What?" Leng Yihan asked.

“One of the reasons we discovered their headquarters was… they were creating vengeful spirits, and very powerful ones at that. We detected the energy fluctuations.” Yi Tianzhai’s words sent a chill down Leng Yihan’s spine, but he quickly shook his head: “No… say. Maybe it’s someone else…”

"...I hope so. Alright, shall we go back?"

-

"Is that so... Brother is worried..." Leng Binglan didn't finish her sentence before silently lowering her head.

"Don't think too much, take a shower and go to sleep." Leng Yihan's expression was icy and blue, so she didn't see it. She casually took out her luggage from her bag and went into the bathroom.

“Brother…” Leng Binglan sat on the sofa in the room with mixed feelings. “…Lin Yin, you mustn’t…get hurt…” She never imagined she would worry about her so much…

That night, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan shared a bed. Leng Yihan, who usually slept easily, couldn't fall asleep for some reason, perhaps because she was preoccupied with worries.

"Brother, don't think too much. Binglan is still by your side. Binglan won't leave you." Just as Leng Yihan turned over for the seventh time, Leng Binglan directly crawled into his arms, hugged Leng Yihan, and stopped him from moving.

“…Okay.” Leng Yihan reached out and hugged Leng Binglan tightly, as if she were afraid of something.

"Brother... you're holding me so tightly..." Although Leng Binglan said this, she didn't let go. Instead, she hugged Leng Yihan just as tightly.

"No... I don't want to let go..." Leng Binglan couldn't see Leng Yihan's expression, but his trembling voice and the tears dripping onto her eyes made her know exactly what Leng Yihan was like.

"Silly girl... I told you not to cry, your brother still has Binglan. Even if... even if Lin Yin becomes a vengeful ghost, I still have a way to bring her back." Leng Binglan said with a smile.

"...Really?" Leng Yihan seemed to have grasped some hope, but still showed no intention of letting go of Leng Binglan. Clearly, she wanted to keep that hope by her side.

"Okay, so... go to sleep." Leng Binglan gently patted Leng Yihan's head. Leng Yihan responded softly and then fell silent.

A few minutes later, Leng Yihan began to snore, though not loudly, which relieved Leng Binglan.

How could that be...?

Once you become a vengeful ghost... how could you possibly turn back?

-

"Oh, sleeping soundly." Xiao Yulin greeted Leng Yihan with a smile as she looked at her through the door.

Leng Yihan glanced back at the alarm clock, and then...

"bump!"

The door was closed...

"Hey! Open the door! Open the door! What's going on, little brother?" Xiao Yulin shouted, banging on the door from outside.

"It's only three o'clock, sis?!" Leng Yihan exclaimed, sounding somewhat exasperated.

"You think we're on a picnic?! Hurry up and get ready! We're leaving in an hour! We'll be waiting for you in that hall from before!" Xiao Yulin said, then stormed off.

Upon hearing that they were about to leave, Leng Yihan, who was in the room, immediately became more alert. She quickly woke up Leng Binglan and they started washing up. The two of them packed their things in just half an hour and left the room.

Back in the living room, there were many more people in the hall; clearly, these were the people who had participated in the raid.

As soon as Leng Yihan walked in, she spotted the breakfast area. Knowing that time was running out, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan quickly grabbed something to eat. With fifteen minutes left, Yi Tianzhai stood on the high platform in the hall.

"Friends of the vanguard team, please come to this high platform. This mission of yours is very dangerous, so... I have something for you to protect yourselves. Please come over now," Yi Tianzhai said.

"elder brother……"

"Let's go, we've almost finished breakfast anyway." Leng Yihan put the bowl in her hand into the dish cabinet and walked with Leng Binglan toward where Yi Tianzhai was.

"Are we about to set off...? Come on!"

205 In-depth

"You, take these things." Yi Tianzhai took out ten pistols and handed them to the ten people. "These guns are our latest technological guns. We went to great lengths to develop them, combining immortal techniques with technology. They are extremely powerful, but can only be fired three times. Make sure they are used sparingly."

The ten members of the vanguard team were stunned for a moment, but Leng Yihan was only slightly surprised by Yi Tianzhai's actions, and picked up a technology gun without any politeness.

“You are our eyes and ears, so you must protect yourselves. Machi, take this. If there is any danger, you can use this to teleport the person holding the sub-scroll back to camp.” Yi Tianzhai took out another scroll and handed it to Machi, the captain of the vanguard team who had been chosen beforehand.

“Okay.” Machi was a burly man who, though not very talkative, gave off a very composed impression. He accepted what Yi Tianzhai gave him, and Yi Tianzhai then took out nine smaller scrolls, which were presumably the sub-scrolls that Yi Tianzhai had mentioned.

“The sub-scroll and the main scroll will always be connected. As long as the main scroll is activated, you will be immediately teleported to the prepared teleportation array. But even so, please be careful.” Yi Tianzhai said solemnly, “Although it is unlikely… I hope to see you all return in good condition.”

Yi Tianzhai's words undoubtedly conveyed a message to the ten members of the vanguard team—they might not be able to return alive. Immediately, everyone's mood became much heavier, even though they had already made such preparations.

"Let's go before dawn—"

-

The vanguard of ten men had already left the city, while the main force followed at a certain distance behind.

No one spoke unnecessary words along the way. Everyone vigilantly monitored their surroundings, focusing on the location of that group... or rather, the location of the 'Demon Sun and Moon'. Their base had already been recorded in the documents.

What's puzzling is... why haven't they evacuated yet? The Demon Sun and Moon have undoubtedly realized that the Alliance has discovered their location, but they still haven't shown any signs of evacuating.

Yi Tianzhai said there are three main possibilities in this situation.

First, the power of the Demon Sun Moon has exceeded their imagination, so they are not afraid of them at all and are fearless, therefore they have no intention of leaving.

Secondly, the Demon Sun Moon had already retreated, and those who remained were merely pawns abandoned by the main force.

And thirdly... there's something very important here that makes the Demon Sun Moon unwilling and unable to leave.

The second point is the easiest to spot. As long as the vanguard advances, it's quite easy to see whether most of the Demon Sun Moon's people have retreated.

An eerie atmosphere filled the air. The mountain path was not very clear at four in the morning. However, apart from the important items that Yi Tianzhai had given them, there were other items, such as night vision goggles, so the problem of darkness was not a problem for them.

Weapons were naturally not overlooked. Most people chose cold weapons, while a few chose firearms. Not everyone knew how to use a gun, and most of the people in the vanguard were primarily skilled in martial arts.

“How strange…” Leng Binglan muttered to herself, but everyone could hear her: “…We’re so close to headquarters, yet we haven’t seen a single person or even any surveillance equipment… This is too eerie…”

“Yes, Miss Binglan is right.” The vice-captain of the vanguard team, a man with a long spear and the appearance of a refined scholar, said. His name was Shangguan Zhi. He looked very gentle and refined… He was obviously a good candidate for women’s clothing, but this was not the time to talk about that.

"Should we slow down a bit?" someone asked. "Yeah...it's really too weird," someone else chimed in.

“There’s no need,” Machi suddenly said. “Go full speed ahead. They might have already spotted us and are making preparations. The sooner we get there, the better we can disrupt their plans.”

“Isn’t this more dangerous?” Leng Yihan asked with a frown. Shangguan Zhi pondered for a while and then nodded, saying, “Actually, I also think it would be better to hurry up. After all, if they had discovered us, they should have already made their move. This place is enough for them to keep us here… But they haven’t made their move yet. It’s either the second situation that the Alliance Leader mentioned, or they haven’t discovered us at all.”

"Alright, let's move forward quickly." Machi said decisively, and everyone agreed with her reasoning without much questioning. The ten people's speed immediately increased significantly, but Leng Yihan found it a bit difficult to keep up with their pace.

Seeing Leng Yihan struggling, Leng Binglan paused for a moment. After Leng Yihan came to her side, she grabbed his hand and said softly, "Brother, I have a lot of spiritual energy. You can use it. Anyway, I don't use spiritual energy when I fight."

“Okay.” Leng Yihan did not refuse. He felt that his spiritual energy had indeed increased significantly, probably because the two of them were ‘connected’. This might also be one of the effects of the hexagram.

Whether it was Leng Yihan's imagination or not, he felt the air around him was getting colder and colder, and... it seemed like there was a strange gaze staring at them.

However, it was clear that he wasn't the only one who noticed this; the others also frowned slightly, though not outwardly.

"Everyone, can you feel it?" Machi suddenly spoke up, her expression somewhat serious.
