The next morning, Ge Wei arrived at Yeni Temple, tasked with a mandate from the Commander of the City Guard.
Today, there were no protesting crowds; people hurried to work, only occasionally pausing to gesture towards the temple doors and exchange a few words.
She had just stepped onto the staircase when the Ouroboros on her back began to vibrate intensely, signaling the detection of hostility!
Ge Wei hesitated for a moment before noticing someone dashing out from the opposite side.
It was a woman wearing a hood and a long robe.
Beneath the shadow of the hood, her eyes seemed to emit flames. The stranger pulled out a dagger from her waist and viciously stabbed towards Ge Wei's chest!
Ge Wei had no choice but to step back, unloading the cross to shield herself at her side, like a shield.
Clang!
The dagger struck the steel shell, sparking a shower of sparks.
"Haiqi! What are you doing?" someone shouted in alarm.
