Cracking The Code (1)
âI didnât want to. Iâd be treated like a weirdo,â explained Coldblood Five, not holding back. At this moment, everyone was already looking at her weird. And when she finished, many people immediately shifted their gaze!
â...â Coldblood Two fell silent for a moment. When she thought about it, it was true. If she were in Coldblood Five, perhaps she would have done the same, to wait until she was back to her original state then deal with everything else.
If it were not for the brat, Coldblood Five probably wouldnât have outed herself. The brat looked like an alchemy expert too, it wasnât easy to even cause an accident like that.
Then again, he was good enough to guide Coldblood Five-two-zero, helping her solve the symbol. Coldblood Thirteen had made the same mistake too, but this guy saw right through it.
At this point, Coldblood Two turned to find that Ye Lang (who was originally on the spiritâs head) was missing once againâŠ
âYou idiot, where did you run to?â Coldblood Five also noticed, so she immediately shouted for him.
âIâm here!â everyone realised he was now sitting on Coldblood Five-two-zeroâs shoulder so he could be nearer to the formation. And so he could see what she was seeing.
âStay there, donât move!â instructed Coldblood Five.
âOh, alright!â answered Ye Lang. At this moment, it would be hard to tear him away from the symbol unless he cracked it.
Coldblood Two and the rest gave her a quizzical look when they heard how Coldblood Five talked to him.
âColdblood Five, whatâs going on with you today?â Coldblood Seven glared at Ye Lang. She found Coldblood Fiveâs attitude towards Ye Lang too odd.
âWhy?â Coldblood Five didnât understand.
âWhy are you so nice to the brat? And, your tone, it didnât sound like you! You sound like someoneâs mother or elder sister!â blurted Coldblood Seven, explaining her feelings.
âIâm only watching him. Itâs not great. Heâs a troublemaker, and something happens whenever you take your eyes off him. You saw that firsthand!â said Coldblood Five, shaking her head.
â...â Coldblood Seven fell silent. She didnât just see, she experienced it. She understood.
âHowever, you canât blame him for what happened just now. He likes alchemy too much, and you were bothering him. Heâll get upset,â elaborated Coldblood Five, as if protecting Ye Lang.
â...â Coldblood Sevenâs face darkened. There was a subtle hint requesting her to swallow and not take revenge.
âDonât ever think of taking revenge, Iâll remember you!â said Coldblood Five directly. The aura of violence appeared again, even stronger than before. Being small did not make her any weaker.
âHmmph!â grunted Coldblood Seven, showing her dissatisfaction. But she could only wallow on her own. She would never have the guts to do anything, not even behind Coldblood Fiveâs back.
Coldblood Five wasnât one to reason with. Everyone in the Coldblood Group knew this, and things have happened to prove this.
Someone once wanted to frame Coldblood Five, taking advantage of her. Then, Coldblood Five killed the person without mercy. No one else dared say a thing. That guy had it coming anyway, who could he blame?
Coldblood Five knew Coldblood Seven was only being whiny so she decided to ignore her. Watching Ye Lang, she answered a few questions.
âYou mentioned that Frank and Coldblood Thirteen made the spirit?â
âYeah, Coldblood Thirteen assembled the general parts, then died. Frank finished up the details!â answered Coldblood Five. Her answer made everyone think the spirit was mostly created by Coldblood Thirteen, and Ye Lang only did very little. Like he was lucky.
However, you can imagine how hard it was for Ye Lang to finish the job. It wasnât something regular people could do.
âSo now the spirit moves because he is controlling it. He signed a blood contract?â asked Coldblood Two.
âMm!â nodded Coldblood Five.
Coldblood Two fell silent. She was staring at Ye Lang, as if deep in thought.
âColdblood Two, he will take care of it, donât worry!â it was a weird thing to say, but everyone understood. And because they understood, they were shocked.
What was Coldblood Two thinking? She was considering killing Ye Lang to keep the spirit for herself.
Since the rights were in Ye Langâs hands, naturally she had to consider her options. She could kill Ye Lang and make a new contract, or convince Ye Lang to work with her to get to the spirit.
Everyone could see this, including Coldblood Five.
However, in a situation like this, Coldblood Five had hinted to not touch Ye Lang. This showed Ye Lang held a certain position in her heart.
Perhaps it was because she had always been cold, keeping everyone else a mile away. Hence, when she suddenly had a friend like Ye Lang, she didnât want to lose him.
Perhaps it was because of their peculiar situation, they only had each other as company. It felt like they were the same species, and it was possible it was going to remain that way for a long time. They had grown very close, very quickly.
Itâs like the Chinese idiom: disasters reveal true feelings!
âSince you put it that way, then we will allow him into the Coldblood Group. His alchemy skills seem good, he can be in the alchemy team. However, I canât guarantee that this will be long-term, everything will depend on you both!â said Coldblood Two.
Coldblood Five and Ye Lang were temporarily protected by this sentence. At least now no one would bother them.
Ye Lang didnât seem to mind trouble though. If he was temporarily alright, he will be alright for a very long time. The team definitely wonât be a threat to him.
The Coldblood Group angered the Ye Family, they would be in so much trouble! The Ye familyâs own investigation department was definitely not weaker than the Coldblood Group!
âI will!â answered Coldblood. Not sure if she meant âI will protect Ye Langâ or âI will watch himâ.
âWeâll end here today. Keep a lookout, everyone. This brat might be accidentally hurt by other people,â said Coldblood Two. She didnât mean hurt in a normal way.
Coldblood Five understood. She didnât have good relations with many in the Coldblood Group. They were all afraid of her. However, if one day they no longer feared her, there would be many people who would come for her head.
And this moment seemed exactly like it!
