The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

Chapter 312: You!, Go Be a Substitute



"Um, I'm not Lee…" Lihua smiled helplessly, smoothing her braid. "You see, if you look closely, my hair is actually a bit grayer than hers."

Gray? Ashen, maybe. Anyway, Lihua herself couldn't see any difference, she was just talking nonsense with her eyes open.

She now only regretted that she had eaten too well back then and replenished all her nutrients, causing her originally gray hair due to malnutrition to become as white and shiny as pearls… If she had known this would happen, she should have starved her hair to be a little grayer!

"Mobius, what nonsense are you spouting again!?"

It was unnecessary to say who made such an irritable voice, and Mobius herself quickly realized her mistake, quickly retracting her gaze, as if nothing had happened: "Just a bit lost in thought recalling past events."

What a stupid thing she was doing?! She actually mistook someone else for Lee… Even if they had the same face, it was absolutely unacceptable!

But…

But it was really similar.

There was no expression on her face, but Mobius's heart was already engaged in a fierce battle between heaven and man.

She clearly killed Lee, and now she was mistaking someone else for her… This was unacceptable.

But… why did this child appear at this time, and comfort her with the same eyes as Lee?

It was impossible for her actions to be forgiven, even Elysia, that empty-headed woman, would definitely be angry with her. If there was really someone in this world who would be willing to put this matter aside, it would probably be Lee.

If the only person who would do such a thing was Lee, then Lihua, who was exactly like Lee… might be Lee.

…This Lihua might be the reincarnation of Lee's soul, so she came to comfort her now!

Yes, that's why she subconsciously called out her name just now—because she had subconsciously sensed Lee's resurrection!

If it were the normal Mobius, she should sneer at this meaningless reincarnation theory. Death in this world is death, and any soul theory on top of this is just nonsense created by the living to comfort themselves. Any scientist who adheres to the truth should be clear about this.

It's just… acknowledging that one's mistakes are irreparable is an extremely painful thing. Sometimes people will subconsciously seek ways to escape reality—even if they themselves know that it's just pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"If Dr. Mobius is fine, then I won't disturb you." Seeing Mobius, who seemed to be normal, Lihua breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Mobius would be enraged by the netizens' comments and start thinking about ways to leave the Elysian Realm and regain her human body, and then go offline to find those netizens in real life… After all, she was truly capable of that.

"No need, you sit here." To Lihua's surprise, Mobius didn't drive her away, but instead just glanced coldly at the empty seat beside her, motioning for her to sit down.

What's going on, does this guy really want to eat a substitute? But this attitude seems a bit fierce…

Looking at the cold Mobius, Lihua, whose heart was drumming, had completely realized that it was difficult for her single-core processor to understand the minds of these lunatics, so she decisively chose to seek help from her main body, and got an answer.

She just wants a substitute, but she's too embarrassed to admit it directly, and is still in the stage of not daring to expose her thoughts—but in order to have an anchor that won't make her completely crazy when she sees the kebab later, let her eat it for now.

…Alright, this might be the fate of the eldest in the family.

With tears streaming down her face in her heart, Lihua silently sat down beside Mobius—this was worse than hugging Griseo and sitting next to Eden just now, at least those two didn't eat substitutes!

Mobius's behavior also attracted some gazes, but because she didn't do anything after that, and everyone's attention was on the screen, they didn't pay much attention to her.

The story on the screen had progressed to before the Fifth Herrscher subjugation battle. Lee, because she opposed the plan formulated by the superiors to let ordinary soldiers die, finally had to choose to go to subjugate the Herrscher of Ice alone.

There were no real fools present, and naturally, they could see that the real purpose of the higher-ups of Fire Moth was nothing more than to get rid of Lee, a dangerous person who was difficult to control, because from the moment Lee was defeated by Kevin not long ago, Lee was no longer the strongest fighting force that humans could not lack.

Many people had heard about the battle against the Herrscher of Ice, but the ones who were really most shocked were Kosma and Ato.

The reason was simple, they were the soldiers assigned to the suicide squad!

At that time, they already knew that they were going to perform a mission that was almost certain death. Ato had even written a suicide note to Bianka and Griseo, but as they were approaching departure, they were suddenly told that the mission was canceled…

That is to say, if Lee hadn't stepped up and taken on the responsibility of subjugating the Herrscher of Ice, then the two of them might have already died in this mission.

But Lee never mentioned this to them. Whenever they asked about the battle against the Herrscher of Ice, Lee always smiled and told them that she was lucky, and that the Herrscher of Ice had been eliminated when she arrived… but never said that she was alone, and why she went.

Lee was already struggling against the Fourth Herrscher, she was by no means sure of taking down the Fifth Herrscher, so she must have set foot on that frozen land with a determination to die…

The only thing to be thankful for was that Lee didn't have an accident in this battle, Kalpas had already solved everything in advance.

Everyone saw Lee's acquaintance with Kalpas, the origin of Kalpas's funny mask—and how Lee took advantage of Kalpas's weakness to beat a drowning dog… Honestly, it didn't surprise them very much, because although Lee was very gentle, she often did this kind of speechless and offbeat thing. She always had a black humor that others couldn't understand.

[Lee: There is only one way to save the world, and that is to make Kalpas into soup]

[Don't even, Kalpas is supposedly an alien, he might really be able to turn into Ultraman]

[He might also be a monster from the nebula next to M78]

[With his personality, I think he's more like Redman]

[Since Brother Kalpas is so strong, can he go help Lee beat up Kevin? That ice cube man dares to hit our Lee👿]

[It's a stretch, Kevin is officially recognized as the strongest many times, Kalpas is still too weak]

Weak…

Kalpas looked at the words on the screen, his eyes deep behind the mask.

Yes, he… was too weak.

If he was stronger, if he was strong enough to defeat all enemies, that stupid woman wouldn't—

His fist clenched silently, and Kalpas, who was characterized by his irritability and rage, fell silent for the first time.

And at this time, the plot on the screen also finally came to the first key point that made Lihua anxious.

Lee, with Kalpas, was transferred to Twilight Street.
