Chapter 11: Shadow of the Ghost Face

Li An didn't continue to stop her. He leaned back in the chair, looked up at the bright ceiling, and only one thought occupied his mind.

*If I cause Frostsnow's death, will her father kill me?*

But it didn't really matter.

If he couldn't decide how he would die, then he should at least decide how he would live.

Frostsnow practicing her punches was her own personal desire, so let her practice!

Finally.

Li An closed his eyes, entered his dream, and began cultivating!

At this moment, Frostsnow glanced back at Li An, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Hadn't he slept last night?

Why was he sleeping again now?

He could really sleep; she was so envious.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

Suddenly!

A "beep beep beep" alarm sounded.

Frostsnow's brows furrowed.

Li An opened his eyes.

"It's nothing," he said.

After saying this, he looked at Frostsnow, who had already shattered a 1500-jin sandbag, but there was no sweat on her body.

Li An walked forward and touched Frostsnow's forehead.

It was about 20 degrees Celsius. Her complexion had improved significantly, and the expression on her face was much more lively.

Frostsnow allowed Li An to touch her forehead and looked up to ask softly, "What's that alarm sound?"

Her voice was gentle, her eyes soft, instantly causing Li An to be momentarily stunned.

She was like a different person!

Without vitality, she was like a robot, but as vitality began to surge, she resembled a holy goddess!

This was still her at 20 degrees. If she fully recovered to a normal body temperature, how lively would she be?

The most beautiful thing in this world was vitality.

Almost all humans loved the magnificent scenery of nature.

But most people couldn't say why, only feeling that it was beautiful.

Li An knew that it was because nature's vitality was too exuberant, possessing an instinctive attraction to humans!

Then, he walked to the alarm and pressed the red button.

The alarm stopped.

Li An walked to a wardrobe, his back to Frostsnow, and said, "I have to go out."

"Ah?" A hint of panic flashed in Frostsnow's eyes. "Where are you going? What for?"

"I have a mission," Li An said calmly. "I've lived in this small city since I was a child. The resources here can't support an Infinite-level like me. I have to join the military, complete various missions, and exchange the accumulated merits for resources!"

As he spoke, he had already changed his clothes.

A black cloak and a ghost-face mask completely covered his entire body.

Frostsnow was confused. "Why are you dressed like this?"

"It's so ugly."

Li An said indifferently, "There's no other way. I've been going on missions since I was fourteen."

"A fourteen-year-old child doesn't inspire any intimidation in the eyes of criminals. They'll only find it amusing."

"People don't trust those who are too young. There's a strange worship of age."

"In this kind of atmosphere, if I want to accomplish anything, I have to cover my face."

Then, he connected to the Star Platform's call.

It was Old Zhu calling.

"A demonic spy has appeared! He went to bomb a bank!"

"Just now, the other party grabbed a hostage and specifically asked to see Ghost Face, which is you."

"But the city's garrison didn't pass this information to the military. Their snipers acted without authorization and even missed!"

"The demonic spy, in desperation, blew up the bank!"

"The number of casualties is currently unknown, but the demonic spy ran away with the hostage!"

"The other party is moving at high speed, and the hostage is still a pregnant woman. It's a difficult situation!"

Li An said calmly, "Understood."

"Tell everyone not to act rashly. Wait for me!"

After saying that, the Star Platform call ended!

Frostsnow quickly said, "I'll go with you!"

Li An shook his head. "Stay at home. Don't go out."

"No," Frostsnow shook her head.

"You just promised me that you would listen to me."

"I have to protect you. This is the task my father left me. If you're too far away from me, I can't protect you," Frostsnow said.

Li An curled his lips. "Do you think I'm weak?"

Frostsnow thought for two seconds, then nodded seriously twice.

Li An: "..."

"Stay put!"

"I'm leaving. I'll be back soon!"

Li An snorted lightly, flicked his robe, turned around, and walked out of the basement's back door.

"Bang!"

The sound of the closing door reverberated.

Frostsnow trembled and took a step back.

She was left in the dim room.

A few seconds later, the cold returned.

She felt like she was back in her bedroom, cold, silent, and a strong sense of loss filled her heart.

Then, she glanced at the sandbag and suddenly lost all interest in punching it.

After a long silence, she clenched her fists, pursed her lips, as if she had made some kind of resolution!

Finally.

She walked to Li An's wardrobe.

Inside was a row of identical Ghost Face outfits.

She found one and put it on.

It was a bit long; wearing it made it look like a dress.

But it didn't matter.

After putting it on.

Her body floated into the air, her feet leaving the ground, and she quickly flew out of the basement, beginning to search for Li An's figure!
