IUD-CHAPTER 240 SHOULDNT HAVE COME

Li-Kun?! s.h.i.+rayuki exclaimed in surprise when she saw the figure of the person who had appeared at this time.

You?! Jeanne was equally astonished by the unexpected attack in the heart of their headquarters and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Wait Wait a moment! Aria burst in from outside the door, glaring at Fang Li. Didnt we agree on a covert operation?

Article Five of the Butei Charter: Actions should be swift, aiming for a decisive victory. Fang Li observed Jeannes ever-changing complexion and smiled lightly. Since theres an enemy moving around alone here, its better to take her down. We wont need to search for the Professor, and having Miss Jeanne guide us could be even better, dont you think?

Miss Miss Jeanne? Jeanne was surprisingly fl.u.s.tered by the ordinary term, her charming face slightly flushed. However, she composed herself and mockingly said, I never thought you would infiltrate I-U. Truly foolish.

Faced with Jeannes mockery, Fang Li hadnt spoken yet when Aria interjected.

When deciding to fight against vicious criminals like you, we may not be smart, but we still fight. Aria aimed her gun at Jeanne, her crimson eyes reflecting a resolute emotion. She stated, Demon Sword, youre also one of those who falsely accused my mother. 107 years of her sentence were because of you. Im arresting you.

Feel free to try if you can. Jeanne glanced at Aria, her charming face revealing an unexpectedly compa.s.sionate emotion as she continued, Kanzaki-Holmes-Aria, you shouldnt have come to I-U.

These words made Fang Lis eyebrows furrow slightly.

What did that mean?

Aria also seemed puzzled. Just as she was about to say something, s.h.i.+rayuki, still on the bed, spoke up.

Jeanne is right, Kanzaki-San. s.h.i.+rayuki gazed at Aria with a hint of bitterness and said, You shouldnt have come here.

Wha What? Confusion finally appeared on Arias face. She exclaimed, Why cant I come to I-U? Are you trying to scare me?

s.h.i.+rayuki. Fang Li transferred his vision to s.h.i.+rayukis body and asked, Whats going on?

I-U is a very dangerous place. s.h.i.+rayuki hesitated, her words trailing off. And, the leader of I-U is Arias

Before she could finish her sentence, an unexpected event occurred.

Crack Crack

Suddenly, the rooms temperature plummeted. With crystalline sounds, moisture in the air condensed into ice particles, falling around them.

Seeing this, Fang Lis expression turned stern, and the dagger in his hand moved suddenly.

Pu Chi!

The sharp dagger placed against Jeannes neck cut through her throat, the blade sliding down until her head flew into the air.

Fang Li?!

Li-Kun?!

Aria and s.h.i.+rayuki were both utterly shocked.

However, in the next moment, they witnessed something remarkable.

After Jeannes head was viciously severed by Fang Li, it gradually frosted over as it soared. Even Jeannes headless body was freezing.

But no, it wasnt her body freezing; the body itself was made of ice.

Aria and s.h.i.+rayuki finally comprehended what was happening.

Is this a decoy?

Indeed.

It was a decoy.

A decoy made of ice.

Perhaps due to the near-execution of the first-generation Jeanne by burning, the Jeanne Clan had been researching ice-based Magecraft for generations.

Thus, Jeanne wasnt only a Saintess, but also a Strega (Witch).

According to the Buteis high criteria for super ability investigative research, Jeanne was a Choutei.

A Choutei employing ice-based Magecraft.

This is the deep sea, a place where I can fully utilize my abilities. You picked the wrong target. Jeannes voice echoed from all around.

Shortly afterward, the rooms entrance began to ice over suddenly.

Stay inside and behave.

With these words, the door gradually sealed shut with ice.

When did she Only then did Arias slightly anxious voice emerge from behind the frozen door.

Outside the door, Jeannes lips curled up slightly as she arrogantly said, You are just a Butei, as expected, youre no match for a Choutei.

As her words fell, another voice suddenly interjected.

Is that so?

! Jeanne was taken aback, quickly turned around, and looked at her back.

There, Fang Li stared at Jeanne with a half-smile on his face, his dagger agilely spinning between his fingers, the cold glint of the sharp blade s.h.i.+mmering incessantly.

You Jeanne involuntarily took a step back, her hand resting on the hilt of the Knights sword at her waist, and she instinctively asked, When?

If youre asking when I came out, I can tell you it was when I cut off your decoys head, Fang Li said calmly. If I had a way to rush in and subdue you before you noticed, I naturally had a way to rush out in an instant, dont you think?

However, that wasnt the main point.

Jeanne dArc. Fang Li looked at Jeanne and suddenly said, Lead me to the Professor.

Upon hearing this, Jeanne was stunned on the spot.

Fang Li seemed unconcerned, almost muttering to himself, and continued, Riko hid the professors true ident.i.ty, and your and s.h.i.+rayukis reactions to Arias arrival at I-U were rather subtle. All these signs are telling me that while I dont know the specifics, letting Aria meet the professor might not be a good idea. Am I right?

This time, Jeanne fell silent.

Lead me to the professor. Fang Li said exceptionally calmly, Since Ive given up on continuing to hide, I a.s.sume you wouldnt be afraid to let me meet the professor, would you?

You dont need to provoke me like this, Gun Magician. Jeanne retracted her hand from the swords hilt, looked at Fang Li, and said, Fine, in any case, if its you, the professor will probably be quite happy to meet you.

After saying that, Jeanne turned around and said to Fang Li, Follow me.

Fang Li nodded and s.h.i.+fted his gaze, looking in the direction of the icy door. He said, s.h.i.+rayuki, stay here with Aria. Dont let Aria out, no matter what.

Under Understood. s.h.i.+rayukis voice came from within the frozen door.

Wait! Why has it come to this?! Arias sharp, childlike voice resounded loudly.

However, Fang Li had already followed Jeanne and left the room.
