Chapter 345: Through "Baptism

On the highways of Boston, Ailan and West were sprinting toward the suburbs, heading for the source of the next column of light.

As Ailan watched West's retreating figure, she recalled the events that had transpired minutes ago.

The man who claimed to be "Xu Yi's friend" had resuscitated and relentlessly controlled the animated corpses to help her destroy the metallic tower.

Although he had just assisted her, she remained vigilant.

Xu Yi had never mentioned this friend, and the man gave off an aura that was too dangerous.

West seemed not to notice Ailan's icy demeanor, his lips always curled in a genial smile as he shared with her his escape story.

But then his tone shifted abruptly, "Seeing how anxious you are, could it be that something has happened to Xu Yi?"

Ailan glanced at West indifferently and did not respond.

"Seems like I guessed right!" West did not pursue further. He looked up toward the Gate of Truth hanging in the sky, deep in thought.
