Miss Luo Yan’s Feet Are Buried With Corpses v4c9

The God of Malice is Watching the Land: Chapter 9 Does She Not Have a Big Tail?!

Shadow had indeed instructed Xinya about this, but she had actually told many people, including Hua Qiling back in Yan City.

The general message was something like, “If you see Miss Luo Yan, or manage to contact her, let me know.” Even Shadow herself probably didn’t hold much hope.

Even she, a Saint, couldn’t ascertain the situation within the sealed Sanctuary, let alone others.

However, Shadow’s casual instruction back then had now become a reality.

Head Maid Xinya had personally seen Miss Luo Yan’s return, but whether the one who returned… was truly Miss Luo Yan, she wasn’t sure.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

The communicator rang crisply, but Xinya’s expression gradually turned serious.

On the other side, Miss Luo Yan sat demurely, her gaze seemingly fixed straight ahead, but not landing on anything.

The gradually freezing atmosphere made even Anna a little nervous. She quickly buried her head in her bowl and continued drinking the chicken soup, only then feeling slightly relieved.

The reminder tone didn’t last long, and a lazy voice, tinged with fatigue, came from the communicator,

“Moshi moshi, this is Shadow, who’s calling?”

“Respected Saint Shadow, hello, I am Xinya, the head maid responsible for serving Miss Anna and Miss Luo Yan.”

Xinya said respectfully. For every Noah citizen, being able to speak directly with a Saint was an honor worth celebrating.

They sincerely revered the Twelve Saints who sacrificed everything to protect humanity, even the least devout Noah citizens were no exception—

Because they knew that the Noah Church wasn’t equivalent to the Twelve Saints, and the Twelve Saints were completely different from the Noah Church.

“Oh, it’s you, I vaguely remember.” Shadow seemed to perk up a bit. “What is it? If you need budget, go ask the Pope, that guy has been bored to death recently…”

Before Saint Shadow could stray further off topic, Xinya quickly interjected,

“No, Saint Shadow, I’m calling you because… Miss Luo Yan is back.”

“What!”

Shadow was shocked, and several thuds came from the communicator, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Could it be that the Saint was so shocked she fell down…

This strange thought inexplicably appeared in Xinya’s mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

How could this news possibly shock a Saint…

Saint Shadow should have anticipated this.

However, Xinya’s deduction… was completely wrong.

Shadow hadn’t expected Miss Luo Yan to return at this time, no, she shouldn’t have returned at this time.

And…

There was still no news from the sealed Sanctuary, it remained completely isolated from the outside world.

Entering the sealed Sanctuary was very difficult, but not impossible.

But breaking out of the sealed Sanctuary… without causing some commotion, was very difficult.

Under these circumstances, how did Miss Luo Yan return to Noah from the peak of the Holy Mountain?

Xinya didn’t know this, so she wasn’t surprised when she saw Miss Luo Yan.

A series of heavy breaths came from the communicator, and Xinya hesitated, beginning to doubt her previous deduction.

Soon, Shadow’s voice came again,

“Xinya, hand the communicator to Miss Luo Yan… No, forget it, you’re still at the mansion, right? I’ll be right there.”

Shadow thought for a moment and still felt it wasn’t appropriate.

This matter, she had to witness it personally to be certain.

After saying that, Shadow hung up without even waiting for Xinya’s response, immediately rushed out of her room, and sprinted towards the mansion near the Ark.

She couldn’t delay, she had to arrive as soon as possible… to confirm whether this Miss Luo Yan was truly Miss Luo Yan.

Whether it was someone imitating her, or some existence occupying her body, it had to be treated with caution.

The worst, worst, worst outcome…

Shadow hadn’t forgotten that there was another terrifying existence in this world who looked exactly like Miss Luo Yan.

If it really was Her, then the entire Noah would be in danger.

Therefore, Shadow didn’t forget to send out several shadow avatars, scattering them in all directions.

If she encountered danger, she could swap her main body with a shadow avatar.

This way, although she would still be seriously injured, she could at least escape.

On the other side, Xinya was stunned for a moment after the call was hung up.

Why did she inexplicably feel… that Saint Shadow sounded a little scared when she said the last sentence?

“It seems Saint Shadow really misses you, Miss Luo Yan.” At this time, Anna finally found an opportunity to interject, saying proudly with her hands on her hips,

“It’s a pity Chris is out supporting the battle recently, otherwise Miss Luo Yan could throw the chicken soup in her face and let her know that even Miss Luo Yan can make delicious food!”

Xinya twitched the corner of her mouth. This girl was as foolish as ever. From which part of Saint Shadow’s words could she deduce “really misses”…

However…

Xinya carefully sized up the current Anna.

Because Miss Luo Yan had attracted all her attention just now, she hadn’t had the chance to take a good look at this girl who had locked herself in her room for over half a year.

Thick dark circles deliberately covered with foundation, bloodshot eyes disguised with contact lenses, yet her fatigue couldn’t be hidden.

This past half year… what exactly had Miss Anna been doing?

At this time, Anna also noticed Xinya’s gaze and glared back fiercely,

“What are you looking at me for!”

“Long time no see, so I looked a few more times.” Xinya calmly averted her gaze. “May I ask, what have you been doing in your room all this time?”

“…None of your business!”

A flicker of panic appeared on Anna’s face, and she turned her head away.

And just then, a soft voice suddenly sounded,

“Someone’s coming.”

It was Miss Luo Yan’s voice.

Anna and Xinya turned their heads and couldn’t help but be stunned.

Miss Luo Yan, with long dark gray hair, sat at the dining table, faint light squeezing through the dark clouds outside falling behind her.

Borrowing this scattered light, like dust motes, a smile of unparalleled beauty entered Anna and Xinya’s vision.

Miss Luo Yan… was smiling…

But for some reason, an inexplicable sense of fear arose in their hearts, as if this smile brought not happiness, but disaster.

“I, I, I… I’m here! Where is Miss Luo Yan!”

At the same time, the shadow on the wall surged rapidly, then condensed into a slender, tall figure.

The Eleventh Saint, Shadow, appeared in the dining room. From hanging up the phone until now, less than thirty seconds had passed.

—This was Shadow’s proud Shadow Travel, an excellent escape technique, a super escape art that could even provide a chance of escape when facing Primordial Demons.

“I’m here.”

Miss Luo Yan said softly and then stood up.

Shadow gasped lightly, looked towards the voice, and breathed a sigh of relief,

“Phew… Miss Luo Yan, long time no see.”

She didn’t look much different from the Miss Luo Yan in her memory, except for the dark eyes and grayish-white hair.

And her voice was so gentle, it shouldn’t be the Witch of Absolute Death…

Although Shadow had faced the Witch of Absolute Death hundreds of years ago, after the war ended, for safety reasons, the Twelve Saints destroyed everything related to the War of the Witch of Absolute Death.

Both archives and memories.

She could only vaguely infer from the results of that war that the Witch of Absolute Death wasn’t an easy God to get along with. More than fifty percent of human experts back then perished at Her hands.

“…Long time no see.”

Was it Shadow’s illusion? She felt that Miss Luo Yan paused strangely before saying this.

Could it be an illusion?

Shadow narrowed her eyes. She didn’t want to scrutinize Miss Luo Yan, but now she might have to.

But before that, first she had to…

“You guys happen to be eating? I haven’t eaten in days, a bit hungry.”

Shadow sat down nonchalantly, familiarly taking out the bowls and chopsticks from under the table… these mansions for receiving guests were standardized, and the place Shadow lived was of a similar style.

Saying she hadn’t eaten in days, actually, Shadow hadn’t closed her eyes for several consecutive days and nights.

This period was extremely difficult. The Calamity Tide came wave after wave, and countless mega-cities were destroyed in these disasters.

If it weren’t for the human united defense line established by the Ten Cities Council, the losses would have been even more severe.

Xinya and Anna didn’t have time to remind her. Shadow served herself a bowl of chicken soup and started eating while talking,

“Miss Luo Yan, long time no see, you don’t mind if I fill my stomach first, right?”

“I don’t mind.”

Miss Luo Yan nodded slightly.

“Mmm… quite delicious, little maid, didn’t expect your cooking skills to be quite good.” Shadow said while gnawing on a chicken leg. “At least much better than what I make myself.”

Hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Xinya’s face, and she pointed at Miss Luo Yan,

“Actually… Miss Luo Yan made this.”

“Pfft—”

Shadow almost spat out her soup.

She looked at the chicken soup in shock, then at Miss Luo Yan,

“You made this?”

Miss Luo Yan nodded.

“How is this possible?”

Sure enough, Shadow couldn’t help but say the exact same words as Anna and Xinya.

On the Lifeline from Lannister to Noah, Shadow had tried Miss Luo Yan’s cooking. It was a disaster of law-like proportions; eating it inevitably led to a flashback.

But this bowl of chicken soup now…

Not only was it not bad, it was actually delicious.

“You are not Miss Luo Yan.” Shadow stared at the “Miss Luo Yan” in front of her and said word by word, “At least… not the Miss Luo Yan we know.”

She shifted her gaze behind Miss Luo Yan, where there was nothing. “Also, there’s another important point… you don’t have a tail!”

“……?”

Now, even Anna and Xinya were stunned. Saint Shadow, what are you talking about?

Miss Luo Yan wasn’t a small animal, how could she have a tail?

They had heard before that Saint Shadow was an outlier among the Twelve Saints, often exhibiting eccentric behavior.

Seeing her now, it was indeed true.

However, Anna and Xinya were mistaken about Shadow. Miss Luo Yan did indeed have a tail.

After Illusion underwent atavism, she “lent” part of her illusion power to Luo Yan, and its manifestation was a fluffy fox tail.

“…Indeed.”

But unexpectedly, Miss Luo Yan actually nodded, confirming Shadow’s words.

Shadow was slightly stunned, then a chill arose from the bottom of her heart.

Not Miss Luo Yan, yet looking exactly like Miss Luo Yan, there was only…

“It seems the time I can stay is not long,” Miss Luo Yan raised her head and looked towards a certain direction. “It was pleasant spending time with you all, thank you.”

Xinya and Anna were confused. They followed Miss Luo Yan’s gaze but saw nothing.

But Shadow knew very well what this “Miss Luo Yan” was looking at.

It was the direction of the Sanctuary!

“However, we will meet again, just… it won’t be me appearing as ‘her’.”

Miss Luo Yan smiled slightly, and her figure gradually faded.

Shadow acted decisively, shadow power surging beneath her feet, forming a cage around “Miss Luo Yan’s” location.

But the cage couldn’t stop her from leaving. A moment later, Miss Luo Yan quietly disappeared.

“Gone, gone?”

Xinya gasped. To actually escape from the hands of a Saint, who exactly was this fake Miss Luo Yan?

Anna was completely dumbfounded. She never expected that there would be a fake Miss Luo Yan, and this fake was so real that even she could hardly tell the difference!

But thankfully, she hadn’t revealed the little secret in her heart, there was still a chance to tell the real Miss Luo Yan…

At this moment, she could only be grateful for this.

Shadow’s expression was extremely ugly. She knew very well who she was facing, but this had surpassed her previous understanding.

The Witch of Absolute Death, being able to leave the Sanctuary, actually didn’t go on a killing spree, but instead disguised herself as someone else and cooked?

How unbelievable, how bizarre…

“Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”

After calming down slightly, Shadow looked at the two girls present and said in a deep voice.

The two quickly nodded, like pounding garlic, afraid of arousing the Saint’s suspicion.

Who knew what this fake Miss Luo Yan was up to…

At this point, even Shadow couldn’t figure it out.

“Let’s continue to be vigilant. The situation inside the Sanctuary probably isn’t optimistic either…”

…….

The stunningly beautiful girl, enveloped in black Manjusaka flowers, slowly opened her eyes. Her long black hair, spread out on the ground like a carpet, was tinged with grayish-white, and a hint of imperceptible emotion flashed through her deep, dark eyes.

Then, she smiled gently.

It was a smile that made one tremble from the depths of their soul. Facing such a stunning smile was like facing the great terror of annihilation and the abyss.

“Luo Yan… Luo Yan… this name… is this your choice?”

The beautiful girl stood up, and countless ferocious ghastly shadows roared and rampaged before her. A small, pink figure could be faintly seen hidden within these shadows.

“…Alright.”
