I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 234 - 230 The Enemy in the Dark

Chapter 234: Chapter 230: The Enemy in the Dark Chapter 234 -230: The Enemy in the Dark Tom acted quickly, his main move clean and decisive.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

Just like him, neat, handsome, and elegant.

Tom withdrew his Dagger, wiped the blood off on a corpse, and sheathed it back.

Tom stood up and looked in the direction Xiaocao had left, frowning, “I did underestimate Princess Your Highness.”

Muttering to himself, Tom immediately set off in pursuit.

He had heard the mercenaries’ conversation just now.

Someone named Hummingbird was after his Princess Your Highness, and he had to catch up quickly to protect her safety and kill that guy called Hummingbird.

Anyone who threatened the safety of Princess Your Highness deserved to die, to be nipped in the bud.

Tom was quick, but after chasing for a while, he realized something was wrong.

With his speed, he should have caught up with Fang Xiaocao by now.

How come…

He hadn’t seen his Princess Your Highness at all?

“Could I have taken the wrong path?”

Tom stopped and mumbled to himself.

“No way!”

“There are traces left by Princess Your Highness on the road.”

Furrowing his brow, Tom murmured to himself.

Tom crouched on the ground, carefully examining the footprints on the ground. As he looked, his expression suddenly changed.

The footprints weren’t his Princess Your Highness’s!

“Damn it!”

“I’ve been duped!”

Tom cursed under his breath and turned around immediately.

Tom had never imagined that he had been tricked; the footprints on the ground weren’t Fang Xiaocao’s at all but had been intentionally forged by someone.

Someone had deliberately led him down a false trail.

Unforgivable!

Tom swore that he would kill this person.

…

Fang Xiaocao ran through the woods, panting heavily.

She quickly became aware of faint footsteps coming from behind.

Xiaocao secretly cursed her luck; she had been targeted again, and the person pursuing her was a pro!

Xiaocao inwardly lamented and her brain went into overdrive, rapidly thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

“What should I do?”

“Fighting head-on, I probably can’t win!”

“Running away, it seems like I can’t outpace them either!”

“It looks like I can only try to outsmart them!”

Xiaocao’s mind raced with thousands of thoughts.

She tried hard to think of a way to cope.

Soon, Xiaocao decided to outsmart her pursuer.

After running a few dozen more meters, Xiaocao leaned against a big tree, paused as if she could run no longer, and took big gasps of fresh air.

Xiaocao waited for a while, but when the person in the shadows who had been chasing her did not show up, she furrowed her brow, uncertain of the pursuer’s intention.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaocao decided to directly call out the person.

Otherwise, the enemy remained hidden while she was exposed.

Which was to her disadvantage.

With that thought, Xiaocao straightened up.

“Friend, you’ve been following for quite a while.”

“Why not come out and meet?”

Xiaocao called out loudly.

After shouting, Xiaocao stood still and waited.

But the other party did not appear for a long time.

There was no response or sound from them.

Xiaocao blinked, “Friend, it’s impolite of you to keep hiding, come out now.”

“Are you continually peeking at me from the shadows because you have some special hobby?”

Xiaocao tried to provoke the other party to reveal themselves.

Silence!

Dead silence!

Only the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves continued to echo in Xiaocao’s ears.

Seeing no sign of the pursuer appearing for a long time, Xiaocao slightly frowned and even began to wonder if she had misheard and there was no one chasing her at all.

“No, that can’t be right!”

“There must be someone!”

“I can’t have heard wrong!”

As the thought arose, Xiaocao shook her head, dismissing that ludicrous idea.

“`

Although she was not some kind of super expert,

she had keen senses.

Because of practicing hypnotism, she always meditated.

Her spiritual power was outstanding, and she wouldn’t experience illusions.

“There’s someone here!”

“There must be someone hiding in the dark!”

“I can even feel their gaze!”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself inwardly.

“That’s right!”

“The gaze!”

Suddenly, a light bulb went off for Fang Xiaocao.

She had a bold idea.

She wanted to verify whether her spiritual perception was real or false.

If her spiritual perception was real, then the direction from which the feeling of being watched was strongest would be the person’s hiding place. She didn’t need to wait for them to make a move; she could find them herself.

With this in mind, Fang Xiaocao immediately tried to capture the elusive gaze.

Shortly after, a light bulb went off for Fang Xiaocao once again.

“Found you!”

Fang Xiaocao let out a cold laugh.

Her hand swiped at her waist, and she gripped three Steel Nails between her fingers, turning to face the direction of the gaze.

“Friend, I see you!”

Before her words had faded, Fang Xiaocao raised her hand.

The three Steel Nails, with a “whoosh whoosh whoosh” slicing through the air, shot straight in that direction.

Fang Xiaocao had said that deliberately.

It was to disrupt the other person’s judgment.

To give them a psychological suggestion that they really were exposed.

Fang Xiaocao’s spiritual power had indeed detected the direction of the gaze, but it wasn’t so magical as to pinpoint the exact location of the person.

After all…

Fang Xiaocao was human, not a god.

Nor was she some kind of high-tech radar.

To be able to sense the general vicinity was already impressive. In a way, even masters like Tom and Taotie couldn’t do it.

To talk about it was enough to astonish others.

The three Steel Nails Fang Xiaocao had thrown covered the area from which the gaze originated.

As long as the person had the slightest belief and faced these three Steel Nails, they would instinctively prepare to defend themselves and knock down the Steel Nail aimed at them.

“Clang!”

A light sound rang out.

A Steel Nail was struck down by a katana.

Joy flashed in Fang Xiaocao’s heart; she had succeeded.

The other person had really been found by her!

Fang Xiaocao looked towards the owner of the katana.

It was a petite woman dressed in a tight black leather outfit.

Fang Xiaocao looked at the woman, and the woman looked back at her.

“Miss, are you trying to kill me?”

Fang Xiaocao asked with a grin.

Yet her hand was secretly taking another Steel Nail from her waist, slipping it between her fingers.

Fang Xiaocao’s plan was to engage the other person in conversation first, then control her using hypnotism.

If the plan were successful, she would gain another underling, and in these treacherous woods, having another person with high Combat Power to protect her would increase her chances of survival.

If it failed…

She would have to fight for her life!

Use hypnosis to control the other person for a few seconds.

Then disable them by driving all the Steel Nails in her hand into their body, sending them straight to Hell!

“How did you discover me?”

The leather-clad woman asked coldly.

Her voice was extremely crisp and clear.

Without a trace of emotion, as if AI had synthesized the sound.

“Quite the tough one, aren’t you?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly, “Miss, that’s quite impolite of you!”

“Shouldn’t you introduce yourself before talking?”

As Fang Xiaocao spoke, she already employed techniques of hypnotism, trying to provoke whatever emotions the other person might have.

Only with emotional fluctuations could she better find the weak points in the other person’s psychological defenses.
