Mental Illness Evolution Manual - Chapter 110

Those words were like a splash of water in hot oil, instantly shocking everyone present.

Lu Mingqiu couldn’t believe that the Yan family had called them back this time to attack her. Before they acted, they probably didn’t know her identity. But when Yan Xun Gui attacked her, she instinctively fought back. The two mental powers collided, and she immediately realized who was on the other side.

Why would the Yan family kill her? It was too sudden. Even if it was as she had guessed before, that they wanted to arrange another omega for Yan Xianchuan, they didn’t need to kill her, did they?

There must be some deeper reason that she didn’t know.

More shocking than that was Yan Xun Gui’s identity.

He was from the church! He was actually from the church! He was so blatant about his identity. The Yan family and the church must have a close relationship.

The most likely guess was that the Yan family was the church’s supporter, the controller. Only a top tycoon like them would have the confidence and wealth to establish such a large organization.

Yan Xun Gui shouted, and the bodyguards all moved. The two mental ability users were locked in a battle of attrition, and they couldn’t spare a hand to deal with the others.

Seeing the bodyguards drawing their guns, Yan Xianchuan knew things were bad. She reacted faster than ever before.

She turned around and grabbed the door frame, ripped the wooden door of the study off, and threw it at her adoptive father. She grabbed Lu Mingqiu and instantly charged out.

This was the Yan family’s stronghold, their base camp. The two of them didn’t even have a gun. They would be crazy to stay here and be surrounded. They had to run first.

The alarm sounded, and the entire imperial city sprang into action. The patrolling guards, the hidden bodyguards, all poured out, forming waves of people, surrounding and blocking the two of them.

Yan Xun Gui followed closely behind, saying to the two of them, “Stop!”

He knew that with Lu Mingqiu there, the effect of his ability would be greatly reduced. But as long as he could slightly delay their pace, and the guards surrounded them, wouldn’t it be easy to capture them?

But to his surprise, although he had spoken, he didn’t slow Yan Xianchuan’s running pace as he had done before.

His idea was good, but Lu Mingqiu wasn’t someone who hadn’t made any progress.

Since she had returned, she had realized how difficult this Red Cardinal was. His ability, almost like a word spirit, was too disadvantageous to her side.

During their encounter, even a second of daze could be fatal. They were lucky last time. The ability user who was with Saint Word wasn’t the kind who could attack from a distance. If it had been someone like White or Jin Huan, they would have been left behind.

Therefore, Lu Mingqiu had been thinking about how to break his ability, or how to protect her teammates from being affected by his ability.

As a mental ability user, Saint Word’s control was ineffective against her because her ability protected her. So, could she expand the range of her ability, protecting her teammates as well?

She had been trying.

She had been practicing every day in Dingyang City.

Lu Mingqiu was a disciplined person. How could she just stay at home and do nothing every day?

Finally, she figured out how to cover others with her mental power, forming a protective shield. She had overused her ability several times, but Yan Xianchuan was often not at home, and she hid it well, so the latter didn’t know about it.

Yan Xun Gui was astonished, but he had no way to deal with it.

He only had one attack method, his ability. It was always effective, but now that his ability was ineffective, he was useless. He wasn’t even as good as those ordinary people with guns.

The situation was urgent. Yan Xianchuan originally wanted to grab Lu Mingqiu and run, she didn’t care about her posture. After taking two steps, the latter took the initiative to suggest that they switch to a carrying position, so that it wouldn’t affect her movements.

But Yan Xianchuan directly rejected her.

She was running forward, with people chasing after her. These people didn’t intend to capture them alive. They were firing bullets like they were free. She could block them, at most she would suffer some minor injuries. But if Lu Mingqiu was behind her, she didn’t have eyes in the back of her head. She couldn’t see the trajectory of the bullets. If Lu Mingqiu was hit, Yan Xianchuan would want to die.

Yan Xianchuan was fast, very fast. Up to now, she hadn’t really gone all out. During the few missions, she had occasionally retaliated when she was provoked, but she hadn’t done anything too outrageous. She had always followed the instructions and acted casually.

Now that they were trapped in the enemy’s lair, Lu Mingqiu might be in danger. She immediately became serious and showed her amazing physical fitness.

It was as if she had super jumping ability. The stone bricks under her feet cracked under the force. She easily jumped over ten meters with Lu Mingqiu in her arms. With a few leaps, she was out of range of Yan Xun Gui’s ability.

He couldn’t reach them, and Lu Mingqiu couldn’t reach him either. Her ability range was a little shorter than Yan Xun Gui’s.

Since she couldn’t kill Saint Word. The guards who were pouring in from all directions would suffice.

Without having to focus all her attention on maintaining the barrier, Lu Mingqiu instantly displayed her powerful killing power. Anyone who ran into her attack range couldn’t resist. They would immediately die.

Yan Xianchuan shook off batch after batch of pursuers, but new guards were intercepting them in front.

She didn’t care much about these guards. The guns could only cause limited damage to her, but abilities were different.

Yan Xianchuan kicked the head of a giant snake with a bloody maw, spitting acid, and did a forward roll to dodge a palm-sized, sharp blade. She rolled backwards and crushed a black-gas-emitting skull that was biting her butt.

She once again complained about why she had to bring the “sweet tooth” ability. There were so many skills she could have brought! Why did she have to bring this one?

It meant that she didn’t have any ranged attack methods now.

Yan Xianchuan was annoyed, but there was no way to undo it. Although she could pick up something and throw it, which was a kind of ranged attack, she was busy running away now. Any move to stop and attack would be a hindrance.

Every second she stayed in the imperial city, the danger would increase.

But passively taking a beating wasn’t her style. Yan Xianchuan freed one hand and directly pulled off a button from Lu Mingqiu’s jacket. She saw an opportunity ahead where there were no obstacles and she could turn her head. She grabbed a handful of buttons and threw them directly at a person in a black robe in the distance.

It was him, the one who controlled the black-gas skull. He only appeared when he wanted to bite. Yan Xianchuan had to twist her body to take the hit to prevent Lu Mingqiu from being bitten.

The skull couldn’t break through her skin, but it was like a piece of chewing gum, stuck to her, annoying her. Yan Xianchuan had disliked him for a long time.

Now that she had the chance, she would take him out first.

The small jade buttons were faster than bullets in her hand. The man in the black robe only saw her turn her head and raise her hand. Before he could react, his head suddenly felt a dull pain, and he fell to the ground.

His hood fell off, revealing a head with several holes in it.

After he died, Yan Xianchuan finally felt a lot better. The imperial city gate was right in front of them, but it was tightly closed. How to get out became a problem.

The gate was heavy, made of metal, with a layer of simulated wood paint sprayed on the outside, and then a layer of gold and red paint, making it look very majestic.

The guards on the city wall had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them, they immediately pulled the trigger. Yan Xianchuan dodged left and right, using her incredible speed to make them completely unable to catch her shadow.

She looked at the towering city wall, then at the thick gate.

If she climbed over the wall, even if she was very strong, climbing a wall of ten or twenty meters with someone in her arms, she would only be a target. She couldn’t dodge as flexibly on the wall as she could on open ground.

This path was blocked, so she could only crash through the gate.

Yan Xianchuan covered Lu Mingqiu’s head with her hand, burying her face in her chest. Her eyes were fixed on the vermilion gate, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She had never crashed through the gate of an imperial palace before!

Just thinking about it made her excited.

Yan Xianchuan accelerated again, using all her strength to charge towards the gate. She slammed her back against it.

With a loud bang.

The gate, which was almost as thick as a fist, was actually smashed open. The iron sheet flipped outwards, announcing to everyone that what had just happened wasn’t a dream.

Yan Xianchuan had used too much force. After breaking through the gate, she didn’t slow down. The two of them rolled a long distance on the ground. Because of the cold weather, they were both wearing long sleeves and long pants, which prevented them from getting abrasions, but they couldn’t avoid bumps and bruises. Fortunately, Lu Mingqiu was firmly protected in her arms and didn’t hit her head.

She didn’t care about these bumps, but that didn’t mean Lu Mingqiu could handle them.

Before they rolled too far, Yan Xianchuan bumped into a trash can on the side of the road. The silver trash can was directly knocked over by her, smashing the glass of an unlucky store, but she finally stopped rolling.

Yan Xianchuan quickly got up and continued to pull Lu Mingqiu to run.

There were a lot of people here, so it was easier to hide.

She dived into the crowd, weaving through the streets, using the buildings to block the pursuers’ vision. Then she changed to a normal face. She couldn’t escape through the city with her current face, which everyone recognized.

The Yan family naturally wouldn’t just sit there and wait. They immediately checked the surveillance footage. As soon as the image appeared, it suddenly fluctuated and froze.

How was that possible? In this era, there was no such thing as a bad internet connection.

There was only one explanation. The Resistance was interfering with them.

The surveillance was blocked, and then the two of them disappeared from the location tracker. Without a location, they were like fish in the sea. It would be difficult to find them again.

Would they just give up?

Yan Xun Gui reluctantly reported to his father. The atmosphere in the study was heavy with tension. He wasn’t sure if a panel was missing from the room, but a cold wind sliced through the room, chilling him to the bone. His father’s gaze felt like a tangible weight.

His hand tapped on the table, making a dull sound.

Yan Xun Gui lowered his head even further.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.” His father’s voice still sounded calm, but Yan Xun Gui could hear the anger hidden in it.

“I didn’t expect Little Seven to be a member of the Resistance.” Yan Wen’s words had a hint of amusement, as if he had discovered something surprising and joyful, “Did you see her performance? She really knows how to hide her talents.”

“I told you, the Yan family doesn’t have any useless children.”

“Who suggested that the two of them get married?” Yan Wen suddenly asked.

“It was Fifth Uncle.” Yan Xun Gui thought for a moment and found the answer in the back of his mind.

“You know what to do.” Yan Wen said casually.

Yan Xun Gui bowed his head and replied respectfully, “Yes, Father. I’ll go right away.”

The enemy was in their own stronghold, and they hadn’t caught them. They had let them escape. Yan Xun Gui was furious. His father was giving him a chance to make amends.

That was to completely eliminate Fifth Uncle’s branch of the family.
