The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

Chapter 252 Mu Yan

About half an hour later, Zhang Yi returned to the living room alone with a strange look on his face.

His steps were somewhat heavy, as if he was carrying something heavy on his back.

When he reached the center of the living room, he stopped and stood there quietly without saying a word.

At this time, Deng Shentong was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, staring at Zhang Yi sharply.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhang Yi stood in front of Deng Shentong. Under the strong light, the shadow under his feet seemed a little heavy, like a ball of flowing ink.

Suddenly, the "shadow" began to move, it slowly squirmed, as if it had life. Then, the "shadow" actually changed!

Zhang Yi's shadow gradually lengthened and finally turned into a human figure.

A tall woman crawled out from the shadows and stood in front of the two men.

Her appearance caught everyone off guard, as if she was a ghost born from the darkness.

She has a slender figure, with long black hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall. She has a cold face and a cold look in her eyes.

The woman's expression was still cold, but there was a hint of haggardness in her eyes. She looked at Deng Shentong with a little vigilance, as if she had not completely let down her guard.

This turn of events was so bizarre that it shocked everyone. However, the other two people present did not show any surprise at all.

Zhang Yi scratched his face in embarrassment. He knew very well what this woman was capable of.

Deng Shentong leaned lazily on the sofa, crossed his legs elegantly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down gently.

His eyes never left the woman, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"【Jingwei】, you are here."

This woman was none other than Mu Yan, the captain of the Night Crow Squad who had escaped early, codenamed [Jingwei].

Mu Yan walked up to Deng Shentong with an expressionless face. She exuded a cold aura that made people shudder.

Before she spoke, she glanced at the black-haired young man who was still standing by the side, and frowned: "He..."

Deng Shentong immediately saw her concerns and nodded, "It's okay. Since I asked him to bring you here, he must be completely trustworthy."

Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes fixed: "Mr. Deng, I won't beat around the bush, I will tell you in detail all the information I need to provide--"

She changed the subject and stared straight into Deng Shentong's eyes, as if to confirm his credibility:

"I don't ask for much, I just want to live a good life, that's all."

Although Zhang Yi was a little confused when he heard this, he still felt that this scene was very familiar. After all, this woman had come to him for help in the same way before.

All members of the Night Crow Squad used Ice Soul. To put it bluntly, their existence was just Zhu Yu's "reserve food".

Mu Yan obviously felt the threat of death and chose to come and seek refuge with Deng Shentong, who was on the opposite side of Zhu Zheng.

Mu Yan's special ability is [Shadow Space].

She can possess the shadow of any object and move along with it, and can carry living things within the space.

It's not that strong, but in terms of functionality, it is indeed first-class and easy to use. After all, Zhang Yi's own space cannot accommodate living things.

"I promise you."

Deng Shentong looked calm and said calmly: "Since you choose to join me, you must trust my ability."

Mu Yan nodded, then shook her head, and said hesitantly: "Zhu Yu has been staying in the research institute since she came back from the East China Sea Region. According to various intelligence analyses, her ability index should have reached above 100 points."

"Yes, I know that." Deng Shentong tapped the armrest with his slender fingers. "So Miss Mu doesn't trust me to deal with her?"

"of course not."

Mu Yan waved her hands quickly, "I'm just... a little worried. Zhu Yu's strength is growing too fast, and by now, she should have absorbed all the Night Crow Squad..."

Thinking of those teammates, Mu Yan looked a little dazed and whispered:

"I think you need a more detailed plan."

Deng Shentong nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "You are right, but it is too late. Zhu Zheng asked me to go on a mission in a week."

"You can't go!" Mu Yan's eyes widened: "He's clearly going to attack you!"

Zhang Yi was listening to this and immediately became furious. His face was terribly gloomy and he said in a low voice, "Is that old Zhu Zheng tired of living?"

Deng Shentong patted his hand soothingly and said softly, "It's okay, just listen to me. We'll have a good show to watch then."

Zhang Yi then realized that everything was within Deng Shentong's calculations, and he felt a little relieved, but in his heart he still wished he could tear Zhu Zheng into pieces.

He had gone through so much trouble to revive the man, and yet Zhu Zheng dared to set his sights on him?

Not to mention that girl, Zhang Yi didn't even take her seriously!

Of course, that was him in the past.

Mu Yan looked at the interaction between the two and felt a little relieved: "It seems that Lord Erlang Shen has been prepared for a long time, so I feel relieved."

"Ice Soul is not easy to produce. Zhu Zheng will definitely not give up searching for me." Mu Yan gritted her teeth. "If I rely on my own strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape his capture."

"So... I hope to use your power to protect me."

Deng Shentong was silent for a moment, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes.

"I can agree to your request. But I have a condition. You must fully assist me in dealing with Zhu Yu and tell me all the details about her."

Mu Yan frowned slightly, but then nodded.

"Okay, I see."

"Then, from now on, you are my ally. I will protect your safety. But you must also remember that our goals are the same. Only by defeating Zhu Yu can you truly gain freedom."

Deng Shentong said in a calm tone.

Mu Yan took a deep breath and glanced at Zhang Yi who was standing next to Deng Shentong.

This guy is also an extremely rare space-related alien. His ability index is somewhat unfathomable. If Deng Shentong had been prepared and had such a helper, he might have been able to defeat Zhu Yu.

"I will do my best to help you achieve your goals."

"Very good." Deng Shentong smiled with satisfaction. "I will send someone to inform you of what you need later. You can stay in Deng Garden now and go to rest first."

Mu Yan turned and left, her figure disappearing at the door.

Zhang Yi looked at her leaving back, thoughtful.

"What? What are you still thinking about?" Deng Shentong's voice sounded in his ears.

Zhang Yi came back to his senses, looked at Deng Shentong, and curled his lips: "How come I don't know that she came to you."

"There are so many things to do, how can I remember to report each and every one of them to you?" Deng Shentong said calmly.

"She contacted me to discuss cooperation only after she escaped."

Zhang Yi walked over to sit next to him and put his arm around the man's shoulders: "Okay, if you don't report it, I'll keep an eye on you."

"She is very smart, she is just looking for a chance to survive." Deng Shentong ignored Zhang Yi's interruption and continued calmly, "Besides, her special ability may be of great use to us."

Zhang Yi's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something.

There was a sharp light flashing in Deng Shentong's eyes, like a sword ready to be struck.

"Next, let's see how this game will develop..."
