Chapter 195: A Specific Person

“I think, this time around, the word {you} that she said means ‘you people’.”

Phoenix extended out her hand to help pull Chen Xiaolian up from the ground.

Chen Xiaolian was lying behind the door of a shop. The wooden door was knocked down by him when he fell and his body was presently lying in the middle of a pile of sawdust.

“At a time like this, you can still joke?” Chen Xiaolian looked at the young woman.

Phoenix held onto the large rifle and slung it casually over her shoulder. Then, she replied, “Why not? It’s not as though we lost anything.”

Chen Xiaolian stood up and brushed off the glass fragments and sawdust on his body.

The sharp sound of siren could be heard coming from the distance.

“We need to leave this place as soon as possible. If we get entangled with the police, the situation will only worsen,” said Chen Xiaolian. He looked at Phoenix before speaking to Lun Tai who was standing some distance away, “How is it?”

Lun Tai patted the unconscious Dr Mu and said, “Nothing… just this friend of yours. Something doesn’t seem right, he is unconscious.”

Bei Tai smiled as he regarded Colombo. “Our forensic doctor here is also fine… thankfully; he did not piss his pants.”

“… I was THIS close!” Colombo had a wretched face and he raised his head to look at his apartment. He screamed, “My apartment! DAMN IT!”

“We will compensate you for your losses,” said Bei Tai as he pulled the forensic doctor up.

Chen Xiaolian brought out a car from his Storage Watch.

Following a beam of light, a durable seven-seat Land Rover appeared on the side of the street.

Colombo became dumbfounded at the sight. “This… how did this appear? Is this magic?”

“We are not from Hogwarts,” answered Bei Tai. He took hold of the forensic doctor and pulled him into the SUV. As for Lun Tai, he carried Dr Mu and followed right behind them.

The driver role was given to Lun Tai while Chen Xiaolian and Phoenix both sat in the second row.

The SUV then drove off the street.

Inside, Chen Xiaolian held onto Phoenix’s rifle and he carefully inspected it. It was a shotgun; extracting one of the bullets, he saw that they were all specially made silver pellets.

“These weapons were all self-made by you people?” Chen Xiaolian asked after returning the rifle to Phoenix.

“We try to save up what we can. Purchasing items from the Exchange System requires points after all,” Phoenix replied coolly.

“Right, your gun,” Lun Tai tossed over the revolver without looking over. Phoenix glanced at Chen Xiaolian and handed the gun to him. She said, “You all can use it first. You do not have any weapon against spirit entities.”

“Thank you,” Chen Xiaolian sincerely expressed his thanks. He accepted the gun and handed it to Bei Tai.

“Earlier, the move you used last against the vengeful spirit; is that magic?” asked Chen Xiaolian as he looked at Phoenix. “That stick you pulled out, is that a magic staff? That silver arc of light…”

“Holy Light skill,” Phoenix did not hold anything back and she answered. “It is the most cost-effective spell to use against evil spirits. However, its damage may not be sufficient when going against high-level evil spirits.”

“You are a magic-type?” Bei Tai suddenly asked.

Phoenix turned to look back at Bei Tai who was seated in the last row. She said, “You people ask too many questions.”

“Sorry,” Bei Tai apologized. He was someone who understood the rules. For Awakened ones, their skills was their final trump card. It was not something that they would easily reveal.

“You’d better get in contact with your team members. Don’t let them return to the apartment.”

“I know.”

…

A few minutes later, Phoenix contacted her team members and they all chose a place to convene.

The location was suggested by Phoenix.

After her Coffeehouse Guild came to London, they rented a storage warehouse in a secluded area to be used as a base.

After the huge commotion they caused in the street before Colombo’s apartment, the police would surely have gotten involved. If they were to go to a hotel now, they would only be inviting trouble for themselves.

A warehouse for storing goods was quite a good place to hide for the time being.

By the time they arrived at the warehouse, the other team members had already arrived.

The Titan twins were standing guard by the entrance. After the car carrying Chen Xiaolian’s group entered the warehouse, the Titan brothers moved to close the doors of the warehouse.

“This was originally a warehouse for the terminal. However, its business has now declined and this warehouse is left vacant for now. If not for the fact that we were short on time, I would have bought it up.” Phoenix brought them into the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, both Dagger and Monster were sitting on a stone block respectively. Dagger had a dagger in one hand as he carefully trimmed his nails.

As for Monster, he had an apple in one hand. He carefully ripped out a small portion of it and fed it to his monkey, bit by bit. Despite his towering constitution, he chose to keep such a small pet.

The monkey grabbed a small piece of the apple and munched down on it. Occasionally, it would glance at Chen Xiaolian and grin, exposing its teeth in the process.

“Where is she?” Phoenix asked.

“In the lounge.”

There was a small lounge here.
