: Unable to Leave

Sienna peeked out from Qiao Ye's arms.

The wind was whistling in my ears.

The boundless karmic fire surrounding Guan Yu did not cause her any harm.

The flames seemed to have a life of their own, automatically avoiding Sienna before they could touch her.

Not a single hair on her head was burned.

Sienna peeked her head back into Qiao Ye's arms, then peeked it out again, then peeked it back in again.

After several repetitions, she finally realized one thing—

The headless horseman really didn't want to hurt them.

She mustered her courage and raised her head.

Guan Yu remained silent, flames burning quietly on his headless neck.

At this time.

The dragon shadow coiled on the Ghost Dragon Moon-Slaying Blade opened its eyes.

It swam down the blade and climbed up Guan Yu's arm to his shoulder.

Then he turned his head and looked at Sienna.

Sienna's tail stiffened.

"Did I scare you?" Long Ying suddenly asked.

Sienna was stunned for a long time.

She looked at Guan Yu, then at the dragon shadow.

"You...you can talk?"

"Of course I need to be able to speak, otherwise who will convey his meaning?"

Long Ying glanced at Guan Yu.

Sienna understood.

Since Guan Yu himself doesn't speak, the dragon shadow is essentially Guan Yu's spokesperson.

This relationship is somewhat strange, but understandable.

Even now, Sienna still finds it somewhat surreal.

Previously, Qiao Ye had put her into a state of suspended animation and hidden her in his arms, causing Sienna to lose consciousness.

But later, when Qiao Ye transformed into the Demon King, the overwhelming power he exuded was something even a resurrected corpse that had faked its death could not withstand.

I had to force myself to wake up.

As a result, I witnessed firsthand the moment when Guan Yu came to save people.

The outside world was not entirely unaware of Guan Yu's intelligence.

This demon, originating from Chinese mythology, has lingered on the edge of the dense fog many times, never concealing its appearance.

He is widely regarded as an extremely powerful demon, best not to be provoked lightly.

Sienna never expected that she and Qiao Ye would be saved by this demon.

This was completely unexpected.

"Thank you..."

Sienna composed herself and thanked Long Ying.

"If it weren't for you, Qiao Ye and I would definitely have died there."

Upon hearing Sienna's gratitude, Long Ying shook his head.

"There's nothing to thank me for."

He said, "You prevented the Kingdom of Heaven from coming, which helped us first. We are just repaying that kindness."

"not to mention……"

Long Ying gave Qiao Ye a deep look.

"You're not exactly safe right now either."

"Are there still enemies?" Sienna asked nervously.

In that instant, countless possibilities came to mind.

They even considered that Guan Yu might also be an enemy.

"It's not a problem with the enemy."

Long Ying shook his head, and pointed with his dragon claw at the pistol that Qiao Ye was gripping tightly in his hand.

Even when he was in a coma, Qiao Ye held onto the Walter PPK tightly.

It's as if the gun has become a part of his body.

"This kid used a power that is completely out of his league."

Long Ying sighed, "Although in that situation, it was the only option."

"But now that you've survived, you have to face the consequences."

"I don't know how this kid possesses such dangerous power."

Sienna can answer this question.

"The Witcher".

She said, "This is a skill passed down among witchers."

Qiao Ye once told her, "If you want to hunt demons, you must first become a demon."

Sienna always thought that statement was unreliable.

But there's no other explanation.

Long Ying remained noncommittal, clearly not believing these words.

The focus now is not on figuring out where this power came from, but on how to address its subsequent impact.

"From now on, a demon will dwell in his heart."

Long Ying looked at Qiao Ye and said, "That demon will keep a close eye on this kid. As soon as he relaxes his guard, he will be replaced immediately."

To replace...

Sienna couldn't believe it.

Is the problem really that serious? Wasn't it due to Qiao Ye's own efforts?

That's all Long Ying has to say.

That's all he knows. This kid is too mysterious; he can't say for sure about many things.

"In short, it's a blessing that he's alive. We'll talk about everything else after he wakes up."

This did remind Sienna.

She looked down at the unconscious Qiao Ye, then looked up at the boundless sky.

Nightmare Red Hare trampled through layer after layer of void, and Sienna had no idea where she was.

"Where are we going?" Sienna asked.

"Los Angeles," Long Ying said, "that's our territory. You can settle down there first."

Go to Los Angeles...

Sienna fell into deep thought.

Although Guan Yu is currently behaving very friendly towards them, Los Angeles is still, after all, a devilish city.

Moreover, it's a massive Devil Castle.

Based on intelligence gathered by the coalition forces after ten years of enduring the dense fog.

In Los Angeles, there is no single demon overlord who rules the entire city.

Instead, there are several great demons, each occupying their own territory.

Guan Yu was likely one of them.

Is it really safe for her and Qiao Ye to go there?

Sienna's only thought at that moment was to leave the dense fog as soon as possible, return to human society, and report on her experience during this mission.

Going to Los Angeles was clearly not what she wanted to see.

We need to find a way to persuade Guan Yu to send them to the border of the dense fog.

However, before Sienna could even speak, Dragon Shadow seemed to have already seen through her thoughts.

He stated bluntly, "Forget about it. The Fog already considers you as part of the demons, and you can never return to human society."

These words struck like a bolt from the blue.

It took Sienna a long time to recover from the shock of those words.

"W-What do you mean?"

"The literal meaning."

Dragon Shadow said, "Before the second coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, you may still be outsiders."

"But now, the new territory of Heaven has been defined, and you are now the children of the devil, completely part of this place."

Was it because of those angels?

Sienna was somewhat confused because she didn't know much more about the Kingdom of Heaven.

Long Ying couldn't explain it clearly in a short time.

"But that doesn't make sense either!"

Sienna found this somewhat illogical. "Haven't demons been trying to break free of the fog all these years? Some even succeeded. How could they not leave?"

The history of the Allied Forces fighting against evil is absolutely true.

Sienna herself even personally killed several demons who broke out of the fog and entered human society.

How can we not leave the thick fog?

Besides, even Guan Yu himself often wandered outside in dense fog, didn't he?

She was even filmed on video.

However, upon hearing Sienna's rebuttal, Long Ying simply shook his head.

"I didn't say you couldn't leave the fog."

He said, "But no matter how far you go or how hard you try, you will eventually return to the fog."

"You should know very well that I am not lying."

Sienna could no longer speak.

Because she suddenly remembered that over the past decade, the Allied Forces had made countless attempts to imprison demons for research.

But all of them ended in failure.

Demons captured by humans will automatically collapse if they are imprisoned for too long.

Sienna had witnessed a demon vanish before her very eyes.

She had always believed that the demon was dead.

Now, hearing Long Ying's words, Sienna finally understood—

So, that was a way to return to the dense fog?
