Free Web NovelChapter 267: Chapter 201: A Gentleman Does Not Stand Beside a Dangerous Wall
The crowd, who had been cheering in the monitoring operations room, suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at the iron door embedded in the wall and then at the hurried Xiyu, and quickly grasped the situation.
Someone with a keen sense quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Xiyu, and the sound of their heels clattered loudly.
"Reporting to the captain, the situation is..."
"Stop! Call me the vice-captain!"
Xiyu had no intention of progressing; his small shoulders couldn’t bear the responsibility of a captain.
"Alright, captain, the situation is..."
Xiyu rubbed his forehead. Okay... now is not the time to correct the team members on their address.
Combining the team members’ statements with the playback from the surveillance cameras, Xiyu straightened out the current situation.
The Extraordinary event surrounding Lin Hao, which seemed to be under his "telekinesis" superpower, was temporarily contained.
But the team leader who went to rescue him has gone missing?!
"So to summarize, Lin Hao, who was initially in a critical situation, is now safe, but the team leader and others who went to rescue him are missing?"
Everyone felt Xiyu was absolutely right and applauded in unison.
"The captain summed it up perfectly!"
"Instantly got the gist of it!"
"Under your leadership’s leadership, we will definitely make progress!"
Xiyu was exasperated, suppressing his anger, rubbed his forehead, and softly scolded:
"Is this the time to applaud? Go find the people!"
The crowd scattered in disarray, and Xiyu grabbed the person closest to him.
"Hey, can you get me a pair of shoes and, uh, another pair of socks?"
Xiyu had been rushing outside, and his shoes wore out, his socks tattered; now he was barefoot.
"Alright, captain, I promise to complete the task!"
Seeing that the crowd started reviewing the entire surveillance footage and someone specialized in confirming the phone locations of the missing team leader and others, Xiyu went to the door and called Lin Hao. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Xiyu: "I just got to the team. The surveillance of the district you’re in. You should be fine now, right?"
Lin Hao: "Should be okay, just a bit messy on site."
Xiyu: "No worries, we’ll arrange for someone to clean things up on-site. Do you have any thoughts on how the Extraordinary incident you just experienced happened?"
Lin Hao looked at the log.
All he could confirm was that the log indicated a "blood sacrifice" was supposed to happen around him, caused by the "Hehuan Sect’s River Debris Branch." But translating this "cultivation" story into a "urban" encounter, he really had no idea.
After all, in River Debris City, every shop Lin Hao entered showed in the log as a "Hehuan Sect" property. Surely not every shop in River Debris City had issues?
Lin Hao expressed he had no clue. As an outsider, he didn’t know who would want to harm him. Here, he had neither enemies nor even business rivals.
Xiyu showed understanding, saying that if those who experienced Extraordinary events could immediately understand the reasons, his team could just retire on the spot and live a leisurely life with a pension.
But Xiyu believed in the team leader’s abilities and remained mostly calm, yet before hanging up, he couldn’t resist his curiosity...
Xiyu: "Why didn’t you mention how strong you are?"
Lin Hao: "Oh, it’s alright. Mainly because you didn’t ask."
Xiyu: "So if I ask, would you tell me?"
Lin Hao: "I’ll tell."
Xiyu: "How are you so strong? Teach me, brother?"
Lin Hao glanced at the log. He had a system that distinguished worlds, which was a secret he couldn’t share with others, plus Lin Hao thought that even if he told the truth, others would think he’s crazy.
However, he could share his experience in becoming stronger:
"Talent, combined with a little effort and luck."
As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, the next second, the busy signal sounded from the other end of the phone.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep...
Why doesn’t he believe it?
Since arriving in this world, the first paycheck became Spirit Stones, and whenever he had time, Lin Hao cultivated without missing a moment.
The opportunity to cultivate laid before him; no one would refuse to work hard for it.
Moreover, his incarnation was almost always cultivating incessantly.
Lin Hao pulled out a half-price bubble tea cup from the convenient bag that had become his Storage Bag—
[One Energy Transforms into Two Pristine Ones!]
Once his incarnation appeared, it went to a place to quietly cultivate.
Look, this is proof of his hard work.
Feeling the magical power inside him begin to grow slightly, the magical power in his Core Energy Center gradually filled up, bringing back a sense of security.
"Lin Hao, what do we do now?"
Li Chuchu’s voice sounded next to Lin Hao. She had seen the situation clearly earlier but, as an ordinary person, could only watch.
If only she had pestered her father to learn martial arts when she was younger, she might have been able to help a bit earlier. Her father always said her physique wasn’t suited for martial arts, but if she worked hard, she might have been able to kick a few out-of-control people.
"I don’t know, but I always feel that staying in River Debris City might be a bit dangerous now."
Lin Hao thought Spirit Stones could be earned anytime, but personal safety should come first.
Li Chuchu: "I think so too, why don’t we head back to Ke Chen City today."
Although Li Chuchu had many plans to carry out in River Debris City and had appointments with some business people, these things could wait when compared to life.
Though the plane tickets between cities aren’t cheap, when faced with Extraordinary events, it’s better to use money than to risk using superpowers.
Deciding swiftly, Li Chuchu took out her phone to book a plane ticket, but today’s flights leaving River Debris City were fully booked.
Tomorrow’s flights, fully booked.
The day after tomorrow’s flights, fully booked...
It seems some people in this city smell the danger too.
But it’s not a big deal, Li Chuchu called upon her "close-knit family" group chat.
"Dad, please arrange a plane to take me back to Ke Chen City, something’s happened here, needs to be quick. @The Best Dad in the World"
Li Chuchu thought, if they arranged the plane today, prepared the flight plan and exit procedures for the city, her group could leave River Debris City by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Just as she was about to discuss the trip with Lin Hao, Li Chuchu received a call from her father.
"Sweetheart, where are you? Are you alright?"
Li Chuchu briefly explained what had just happened, and Mr. Li let out a long sigh of relief.
"Our family’s plane is in River Debris City, no need to wait. We will all leave soon."
Upon hearing Mr. Li’s words, Li Chuchu was a bit surprised.
"Dad, why didn’t you tell me you were in River Debris City?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Something came up suddenly, and I came with your grandfather... but it wasn’t very important, so I didn’t tell my precious daughter. Now you just head to the airport. Our plane is there, see you soon."
...
Mr. Li hung up the phone and looked at his own father.
"Dad, we’re not sure what’s happening with Lust right now, let’s head home first."
"No, you go back, I’ll stay. I can feel that Lust’s operations in River Debris City have taken a heavy hit. I, an old man, have strong resistance to Lust, so I’ll stay to see what’s really going on."
Mr. Li watched his father, who was watching young ladies dancing on his phone and mumbling things like "watch it enough and you’re immune." He just couldn’t believe it.
"Father, let’s go, come on!"
"Since we already have a way to weaken the Lustful Legislator’s power, there’s no rush."
No way could he leave his father in River Debris City; the place is too weird, its customs and surrounding industries are too well developed. Not to mention, his daughter was almost being snatched, and he might end up with an additional brother or sister.
"Fine, fine, maybe checking out Little Nannan’s boyfriend is not bad after all, see what kind of boy has caught Little Nannan’s fancy in our family."
Old Mr. Li put away his phone, walked to the mirror, and tidied up his hair earnestly.
He might meet the person his granddaughter’s fond of later, even if not formally, as an elder, he must maintain his dignity.
"Oh right, before leaving, I should have a word with Little Xiyu. He’ll definitely have to stay in River Debris City, but he should still be cautious."
