Chapter 85 Meeting or Parting
"Let me introduce myself. I am Ye Fan, the Supreme Commander of the Great Xia Night Watch."
As soon as his voice fell, the figure that emerged from the mist instantly exuded endless death energy.
The snow-covered mountains and forests suddenly lost their vitality and turned gray and black.
"Venerable Ye Fan... I wonder who this person beside you is?"
Looking at the newcomer, Zuo Qing spoke solemnly, enunciating each word clearly.
"Zuo Qing, Special Operations Division, Great Xia Night Watchman."
The figure, shrouded in deathly aura, sneered.
"Looks like another nobody..."
"An unknown nobody..." Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing smiled calmly.
"Hades, you might regret underestimating me..."
After saying that, his aura suddenly changed, and a powerful mental pressure swept over him instantly.
Blue flames spread out, and the snow that had never melted for years vanished instantly under this terrifying heat.
The figure known as Hades let out a soft exclamation.
"It seems you've also reached that level."
However, he quickly shook his head again.
"It's a pity... You'll soon find out that the difference between humans and gods is as vast as clouds and mud."
"Is that so?" Ye Fan swung his straight sword, as if he had remembered something interesting, and said with a light laugh.
"There was this brat who said he believed more in the power of human will to conquer nature!"
Saucy!
After the words fell, Ye Fan and Zuo Qing exchanged a glance and rushed towards the gods who had invaded the border of the Great Xia without hesitation!
........
A special operations plane roared overhead.
It had already reached the skies above Cangnan.
"Control tower calling: The entire area within Cangnan is under lockdown. Please return to base immediately! Please return to base immediately!"
The officer piloting the plane, however, ignored the warnings and flew towards Cangnan territory.
"Commissioner Li, we can only take you this far. Going any further in might result in an attack by unknown forces."
Li Jie stood up and nodded.
He knew that Cangnan was now in a precarious situation, and even the control tower had been taken over by hostile forces.
They were already doing a great favor by taking such a huge risk to get themselves to the city center.
"Open the hatch."
"Do you need a parachute, Commissioner Li?"
Li Jie looked at the towering skyscrapers and calmly shook his head.
"Thank you, that's enough for now."
After the cabin door opened, Li Jie nimbly jumped off the plane.
He gathered his inner energy, formed his fingers into a sword, and swung it downwards. The resulting force propelled him to land smoothly on the roof of the Kelanski Hotel.
He stood on the rooftop, looking at the overcast sky over Cangnan City, and frowned.
Aside from the captain and Qi Ye, the other team members should have already been tricked into going to Shangjing City...
There's still some time before those Outer Gods land. Let's go back to the base and check...
With this thought in mind, Li Jie leaped off the roof and sped away into the distance using the exposed window sill.
Tap.... Tap.... Tap....
Before long, Li Jie had arrived at the entrance of the Peace Agency.
Just as he was about to reach out and push the door open, he discovered that a "Closed for Business" sign was already hanging on the doorknob.
"I wonder if they're still around..."
squeak~
"Hello, welcome!"
When he walked into the room, Chen Muyi and Lin Qiye, who were chatting on the sofa, were both stunned.
Chen Muye: What's going on...? Why is he here?
Lin Qiye: Huh? Brother Li is back?
Seeing the bewildered expressions on their faces, Li Jie didn't explain, but instead put the sword box he was carrying on his shoulder aside.
He sat down next to Chen Muye and began to speak.
"Captain, do you have any drinks?"
Upon hearing Li Jie's question, Chen Muye finally realized what was happening, nodded, and then headed towards the kitchen.
Li Jie first gave Lin Qiye a look that said they would talk about it later, and then followed after Captain Chen.
Why did you come back?
It was easy to tell from Chen Muyi's trembling hands that he was in a very turbulent state of mind.
"Going home to visit and say goodbye."
Upon hearing Li Jie's voice, Chen Muye paused, his hand holding the kettle still, and said dejectedly.
"Do you know everything?"
Li Jie did not answer, and the two stood silently in the kitchen.
"Actually, you didn't have to come. I'm already a dead man."
"I....."
Before he could finish speaking, the [Crow of Calamity] standing inside the Peace Agency let out a shrill scream.
Gaa~~!
Gaaaaaah!
In just a moment, Chen Muye rushed out of the kitchen and came to Lin Qiye's side, who was standing next to the birdcage.
"Captain, what's wrong...?"
Lin Qiye pointed to the lifeless [Crow of Calamity] in the birdcage and asked.
For some reason, ever since Li Jie and his companion entered the kitchen, he had a bad feeling about it.
After witnessing the mysterious death of the Raven of Calamity, his ominous premonition became even stronger.
Chen Muye looked at the scene before him and sighed dejectedly.
What was bound to happen, happened...
"Li Jie, are you really not leaving?"
"There's still room for reversal."
Hearing Chen Muye's words further confirmed Lin Qiye's guess: this incident must be extremely dangerous.
This is also one of the reasons why the captain forged documents yesterday to trick the vice-captain and the others into coming to Beijing.
So why did Brother Li come back?
Li Jie, who was slowly walking out of the kitchen, chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not going any further. I'll accompany you on this last stretch of the journey."
What about the last leg of the journey?
Why does it sound like a life-or-death separation?
Just as Lin Qiye was about to voice his objection, he noticed that his captain, who was as tough as steel, had tears in his eyes.
wrong……
They're definitely hiding something from me.
"Seven Nights."
"Ok?"
When Li Jie called him, Lin Qiye also showed a questioning expression.
"Should we go home and take a look?"
"...We're not going back, are we? Don't we have a mission?"
"Let's go back and take a look..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Muye also spoke up in agreement, saying that there were rules among the Night Watchmen.
Members are generally not allowed to go home, but....
This might be the last time...
Thinking of this, Chen Muye's gaze suddenly softened.
Seeing that Lin Qiye was still a little hesitant, Li Jie picked up the sword box that was placed at the door, put his arm around Lin Qiye's shoulder, and walked outside.
Eh? No?
"Wait... bring a knife...!"
Chen Muye chuckled, slung two straight swords across his waist, put on his cloak, slung Lin Qiye's black box over his shoulder, and followed the two men into the distance.
.............
Outside dilapidated residential buildings in the old town.
Lin Qiye stood at the entrance of the building, lost in thought.
He didn't know what reason to give his aunt and Ah Jin for why he had suddenly returned.
I had a mission, so I just came back to check in?
It seems like they're not taking it seriously enough...
Missing you all?
It seems I can't quite bring myself to say it.
Just as he was hesitating, a black dog ran out of the building entrance.
