As a combatant, Orphiel might not be much to look at.
But since Li Xieqian took her seriously, her support and intelligence capabilities should indeed be outstanding.
However...
"Twin Witches? What the heck is that?" Lin Feng, disguised as Shanhai, raised an eyebrow, his eyes scanning Orphiel from head to toe without reservation.
He lingered for an extra second on a certain part.
He couldn't discern anything special. She appeared utterly unremarkable, truly and utterly plain.
This dismissive attitude made Orphiel somewhat angry.
But with Li Xieqian still present, she couldn't afford to be as unrestrained as Shanhai. She could only curse Shanhai inwardly through gritted teeth.
Li Xieqian shook his head.
"Orphiel, show him!" Li Xieqian commanded.
If Orphiel didn't demonstrate some of her abilities, Shanhai might not be willing to take her along.
They were already short one teammate and at a disadvantage, with one less slot.
If they lost another, Li Xieqian would be quite displeased.
As for Shanhai, his strength and temper were fitting, and Li Xieqian didn't mind appeasing him.
Receiving the instruction, Orphiel stood up and walked towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng watched her lazily.
"Hello, I am Orphiel!" the female black-robed figure introduced herself.
Then, she closed her eyes, and her entire demeanor shifted instantly.
When she opened them again, it was as if she had become someone else.
"Hello, I am Orphiel! Your teammate."
The same words, the same voice, but the feeling she exuded was entirely different.
If the previous Orphiel gave Lin Feng a sense of coldness, calmness, and even a bit of simple-mindedness,
then this Orphiel was like a mature and enthusiastic older sister.
But this...
Lin Feng's mouth twitched, and he expressionlessly shifted his gaze to Li Xieqian.
"That's it?"
She put on a personality change for me?
And this is called a Twin Witch??
Li Xieqian chuckled, mysteriously picked up his teacup, and remained silent.
【Oh my, sister, it seems we're being underestimated~】
【What should we do? Show him a little something?】
【I think so, come on, let's use the Twin Manifestation!】
Two voices echoed in Orphiel's mind.
The next moment, the Orphiel in front of them made no move, but behind Lin Feng, another Orphiel appeared.
She reached out and placed her hand on Lin Feng's shoulder.
"Shanhai joined the organization about a year ago."
"Possesses immense strength but limited offensive skills, capable of contending with ordinary peak-level cosmic-level combatants."
"Since joining, he has completed 50 missions below D-class, 5 C-class, 10 each of B-class and A-class, and 6 S-class missions."
"His mission completion is swift and flawless. While this record isn't particularly outstanding on its own, considering his joining time, it seems impossible for anyone else to have undertaken and completed multiple S-class missions in such a short period..."
The speaker was the mature older sister's voice.
She stood behind Lin Feng at this moment, elaborating on Shanhai's various activities since joining the Black Robes.
Lin Feng pinched his brow, unsure what to say. After a long pause, he offered an evaluation.
"Six!"
"However, I don't need someone to serve me tea and pour drinks."
"Old Li, I'll go alone!" Lin Feng said.
This kind of trivial information could be easily found within the organization if one made an effort; it wasn't secret information that required her to babble about it.
Was this considered intelligence gathering? Lin Feng felt that the standards for the Black Robes might be a bit off.
Furthermore, this clone-like skill was something he had already surpassed. If this was called a Twin Witch, then his own abilities should be called a Multi-Child Stud?
He could care less about such a cumbersome ability; he even found serving tea and pouring drinks tedious.
"Old, Old Li?" Li Xieqian's mouth twitched. What a novel appellation.
He exchanged a look with Orphiel.
His intention was clear: hurry up and show some real skill; he was already being looked down upon so much.
Orphiel understood Li Xieqian's meaning.
Immediately, her slightly blue eyes gained a thin layer of radiance.
"Shanhai's past cannot be traced; it's as if he appeared out of thin air in the universe."
"His trace cannot be found in the timeline; he possesses offensive capabilities, time-related skills, and heat ray abilities, as well as freezing breath."
"Telekinesis, teleportation abilities, super vision..."
Orphiel seemed to be reading Lin Feng's personal information, but the more she spoke, the deeper her brow furrowed.
She paused, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"No, that's not right, Shanhai is..."
Hiss!
Before she could finish this sentence, Orphiel felt a pair of invisible hands grip her neck.
It felt as though if she uttered another word, her life would be forfeit.
Cold sweat broke out instantly, and Orphiel's eyes were filled with terror.
She breathed rapidly, as if she had witnessed something profoundly terrifying, and trembled uncontrollably, unable to believe it.
Lin Feng had merely glanced at her indifferently, his gaze filled with a warning.
That invisible hand seemed to originate from Lin Feng, exuding a faint killing intent that enveloped Orphiel.
However, this killing intent was so well-controlled by Lin Feng that Li Xieqian, whose strength was inferior to Lin Feng's, did not detect it at all.
Orphiel swallowed with difficulty, her voice trembling as she continued, "Shanhai's... strength is too terrifying."
"I, I can't see any more information..."
"Sorry, Lord Li..."
Orphiel behind him said weakly to Li Xieqian, her short sentence delivered in several parts, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
Then, her body vanished into thin air; the two Orphiels merged back into one.
Very good, very clever. Her timely brake had saved her life.
Li Xieqian paid no mind to Orphiel's unusual behavior, even finding it quite normal.
He felt that Orphiel must have been intimidated by Shanhai's past decisive actions.
After all, this wasn't the first time Shanhai had acted against his own people within the Black Robes, so Orphiel's fear was understandable.
"How about it, Shanhai, Orphiel's intelligence gathering abilities are quite good, aren't they?" Li Xieqian said with a smile.
"Her eyes possess a peculiar function; they can see through others' secrets."
"If one's strength is insufficient, any attempt to conceal information before her will be utterly futile."
"And Shanhai, your ability report seems to lack the teleportation ability."
Upon saying the last sentence, Li Xieqian narrowed his eyes.
As for the inability to trace him in the timeline, Li Xieqian believed it was related to the time-related skills Shanhai had acquired.
Lin Feng met his gaze expressionlessly.
"Everyone has their own secrets, don't they?" Lin Feng said plainly, showing no abnormality.
Li Xieqian was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Yes, you're right, everyone has their secrets. As long as you are loyal to the Black Robes!"
