Chapter 225: Covert Observation

"Finally separated, I thought this mission was really going to fail."

When Vivian and Charles completely disappeared from Tang Luo's sight and entered the forest, on the other side, a blonde, blue-eyed woman let out a long sigh.

Emily Rida, also a God-Demon Walker on this mission.

Unlike other God-Demon Walkers who appear near the mission target in various ways.

Emily Rida's appearance is relatively far from her mission target—Snow White—she did not appear inside the palace.

It is not easy to infiltrate the palace and get close to Snow White, Vivian.

But it cannot be said there are no benefits—at least it guarantees her safety.

The counterexample is that Rob, who directly appeared beside Charles, and was quickly taken away by Rudolf in one sweep; I don't even know if he's awake now.

Hmm, and there's also Grace, who failed the mission.

Unable to find a way to infiltrate the palace, Emily Rida has been staying in the capital, closely observing the palace's movements.

She has a non-combat support skill—Zeus's Eye.

Similar to the third-person vision of the God-Demon Walker Sun Ang, who impersonated a spirit medium to kill, it is an excellent choice for covert observation.

With Zeus's Eye, Emily Rida has grasped some of Vivian's movements and can confirm she has not left the palace.

And she has been following Snow White from a distance after she left the palace, to see if there is any hope of completing her mission.

Yes, Emily Rida's desire to complete the mission is not particularly strong, or rather, she has been forced into a state of extreme passivity—almost doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.

The reason lies with that white-haired man.

In the fairy tale, Snow White is taken alone into the forest by a hunter, or a warrior, guard, or similar character, with the intention of killing her.

Emily Rida also prepared for this being a dark fairy tale, expecting some changes—such as something happening before the killing—she would not be surprised at all.

But Emily Rida did not expect that the "dark fairy tale" would temporarily not have "darkened" to a serious degree; instead, the white-haired guard responsible for sending Snow White away had become utterly dark.

Besides its surveillance function, Zeus's Eye has another effect—it allows different people or beings within the "field of view" to display different colors.

It can be used once every so often, lasting for a short while.

This color is not decided by Emily Rida herself, but based on the other party's strength, or rather, the danger level they pose to Emily Rida.

There are four colors in total: white, yellow, red, and black.

White means this individual poses no danger to Emily Rida, not even a high chance of falling into a ditch.

Yellow means there is a certain threat—both sides are evenly matched.

Red means Emily Rida should flee—it is an opponent she absolutely cannot match in strength, unless she cheats.

As for black, it is the breath of death.

The guard responsible for escorting Snow White out of the city, for the first two days, appeared white in Emily Rida's Zeus's Eye.

Meaning he posed no threat to her—after all, he had survived six missions and gained enhancements as a God-Demon Walker.

Even without counting skills, he could take on three to five guards.

Originally, Emily Rida planned to act after leaving the capital—snatch Snow White outright, so she wouldn't have to go into the forest—who knows what else might happen.

But just as Emily Rida was about to act, she decided to observe one last time.

The white-haired man, whose status among the guards was clearly not ordinary, had a flash of yellow light across his body.

This made Emily Rida instantly alert—of course, the "strength detection" of Zeus's Eye is not omnipotent.

Encountering a hidden expert pretending to be weak, misjudgment is normal.

Of course, Tang Luo was not intentionally pretending to be weak; he had achieved the Diamond Glazed Buddha Bone, which is inherently introverted, and with his injured body, he would not "randomly move about."

Though wearing those invisible eyes, even if it's just a drop in the ocean, they are constantly recovering.

Occasionally, there appears a slight instability, a fluctuation—belonging to normal phenomena.

This momentary strange change was exactly caught by Emily Rida, who chose to continue observing.

Until that morning, when Tang Luo swung a fist and killed the "Well Demon."

White light was replaced, and black death aura instantly filled Emily Rida's entire vision, making her almost think she had been killed in that instant.

After regaining her senses, Emily Rida was immensely relieved by her own caution, having wanted to clarify this white-haired man's strength, and now witnessing this terrifying scene.

Otherwise, if she had acted rashly, she would likely already be separated from her head, or even not know how she died.

Having recognized the white-haired man's strength, Emily Rida's desire to complete the mission dropped to a very low level.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the willows darkened and the flowers brightened—probably the legendary "world line convergence"—letting this world return to the "fairy tale proper course."

The white-haired man likewise let Snow White go, along with the incidental young prince Charles.

He allowed them to enter the forest and fend for themselves.

After her vision was swallowed by black, Emily Rida dared not use Zeus's Eye to observe Tang Luo again, only staring at Snow White's carriage—Snow White hardly ever leaves the carriage, and Emily Rida is also quite helpless.

Zeus's Eye does not rely on being attached to the observed target; it is extremely concealed, almost impossible to detect.

Emily Rida has also never been detected.

But what if?

Better safe than sorry—it concerns one's own life.

In her vision, the prince and princess move forward one after the other, quite swiftly.

This makes Emily Rida, who is chasing them, furrow her brow—these two children are frolicking along the way—where are they going?

Could they have their own destination?

In a fleeting glance, Snow White's expression does not resemble that of an exiled person's fear.

Instead, the young prince wears a face of anger, like a gunpowder barrel ready to explode at any moment, giving off the vibe of "exiled, I'll return and blast your dog heads."

One hour later, Emily Rida successfully caught up with the two.

Even without Zeus's Eye, she can see Vivian and Charles appearing and disappearing intermittently.

She has no intention of going out to meet the two.

Instead, they adopted a covert protective measure, determined by the dangerous situations Vivian encountered.

If she could resolve it, she would act; if she felt it was hopeless, Amilrada would flee at full speed.

Even, she prepared to kill Snow White, cause the mission to fail, and immediately return.

Heaven is vast, earth is vast, but life is supreme.

"One of us?" a voice came from beside her ear, Amilrada's body trembled, and she was startled awake.

But before she could make any extreme reaction, a hand was placed on her shoulder, causing all of Amilrada's movements to come to a complete stop.

She dared not turn her head, her breath already held.

"Don't be nervous, we're all on the same side." Tang Luo said to Amilrada after dispelling his invisible state.

Amilrada blinked her eyes, feeling the palm on her shoulder lift, then she turned her head with difficulty.

Standing beside her was none other than that white-haired man.

Her heart, already beating violently, now trembled wildly, Amilrada felt it was about to explode.

After taking at least five deep breaths, Amilrada finally spoke: "Are you also a God-Demon Walker?"

"Yes, that's right." Tang Luo said, "Indeed, you are too."

He discovered that Amilrada was both an unexpected joy and something anticipated.

Since he had formed the hypothesis of the Seven Deadly Sins, Tang Luo certainly could not possibly just sit in the carriage waiting for Vivian and Charles.

He also secretly followed behind the two, observing the situation.

At the same time, he also checked whether he could encounter any God-Demon Walker related to Vivian, this Snow White.

He did not expect to actually meet one, and it was much easier than Tang Luo had imagined.

Although the clothing and attire indeed matched the style of this mission world, after all, being a God-Demon Walker from the modern real world, there were inevitably some differences.

These could be distinguished.

So Tang Luo came over to chat, exchanging information and the like—even if the guess was wrong, it didn't matter.

Looking sneaky and suspicious at first glance, one wouldn't think they were good people, but converting them might still earn merit.

"Are you afraid of me?" Amilrada merely nodded, and Tang Luo asked.

Showing a strained smile, Amilrada said: "Yes, your aura... makes me tremble."

"Don't panic." Tang Luo patted Amilrada's shoulder, "I am a monk who has left home, a good person."

He decisively gave himself a good person card.

Amilrada tried her best to make her smile less stiff.

As a blonde, blue-eyed beautiful woman, her appearance was also one of her weapons.

But judging from the current situation, it seemed to have no effect.

Eastern God-Demon Walkers, mostly monks or Daoists, at least not close to women, but at least also had considerable resistance in this regard.

If it were a Western priest, it might have some effect, oh, no, wrong, she is not a little boy.

"Besides me, have you encountered any other faction's God-Demon Walkers?" Tang Luo asked.

Amilrada said: "I have only seen one suspected one, probably a..."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Eastern God-Demon Walker." The speaker was Li Huan.

Eastern and Western God-Demon Walkers, when encountered in the mission world, are mostly opposed.

"Where? Is your mission related to Vivian?" Tang Luo asked, he was not sure when the woman beside him started following.

Amilrada dared not conceal anything, and told Tang Luo everything about her experiences after entering the mission world, as well as all mission-related matters.

"Protection, and letting her eat—indeed, is it the sin of gluttony?" Tang Luo muttered, his idea was verified.

The Seven Deadly Sins, several God-Demon Walker missions intertwined, forming a rather complex web.

On this web, there should be conspiracy, covert schemes, overt schemes, contention, cooperation, betrayal.

The complex situation, the identities of hunter and prey constantly shifting, ultimately whose hand the deer would die in remains unknown.

Only regrettable, in this web there are two overly powerful individuals.

Rudolf, Tang Luo.

Directly tearing this web to shreds.

"If she bears two sins, then she is the last God-Demon Walker." Tang Luo thought to himself, "I don't know if I'll encounter the Seven Dwarfs, let's see."

"Since your mission is related to Snow White, let's secretly observe together, maybe there will be an unexpected joy."

Tang Luo laughed.

Amilrada naturally dared not have any other opinion.
