SFS Chapter 479: The Lone Shadow in the Mist
Chapter 479: The Lone Shadow in the Mist
The Bugatti Veyron transformed into a blue lightning bolt, and its pixelated wings drew dazzling streaks of light across the night sky.
Ye Faner controlled the steering wheel steadily, and glanced at Jinier who was munching on a bunch of snacks in the passenger seat.
"Jinian'er, is the thing you locked up really a detonator?" Ye Fan'er asked with a hint of curiosity.
With his mouth full of potato chips, Ji Nian'er mumbled, "Of course it's fake! How could I dare give him a real detonator?"
"If his hand shakes and he blows up his house, I'll have to pay for it!"
After saying this, she nodded seriously, as if she were really a calculating businessman.
"Girl, you are really...sly."
Ye Faner couldn't help but smile.
"But thanks to you, you managed to make those guys surrender without any bloodshed. This move is awesome!"
Ji Nian'er raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course! Look who did it! I'm the most beautiful girl in the Shangxie Society!"
The carriage was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the two of them chatted with each other, as if they were not on the run, but having a relaxed evening chat with best friends.
"By the way," Ye Fan'er's voice suddenly lowered, "Are you still leaving after you come back this time?"
Jinian'er's movement of chewing potato chips paused noticeably, and the smile on his face stiffened a little.
She put down the snacks in her hand, looked at Ye Faner with a twinkling look in her eyes, and said with a hint of teasing: "Hey, Sister Faner, why does your tone sound a bit like the resentful male protagonist? Are you... in love with me?"
Ye Faner was a little amused by her sudden joke and rolled her eyes.
"Don't be so poor! Who would like a little girl like you? I'm just concerned."
"Cut~"
Jinian'er curled his lips, pretending to be disgusted.
"I won't date an old man like you! My target is a young hunk!"
Ye Faner was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing, but she couldn't do anything about it. She could only sigh helplessly, "Just do it!"
Seeing Ye Faner's angry look, Ji Nian'er smiled even more happily.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of solemnity.
She raised her head, looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and muttered to herself: "Things overseas are really a headache..."
At the same time, on the foggy sea, an inconspicuous small boat was sailing slowly.
Lin Ye'er stood at the bow of the boat, holding the telescope tightly in both hands, staring at the sea in the distance.
"Ye'er, how is it? Have you found anything?" Baili Pang'er's voice came from behind her.
Lin Ye'er shook her head and put down the telescope.
He said in a serious tone: "I seemed to see a figure just now. It flashed through the fog, but it disappeared very quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, An Yuqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I saw it too..."
In the fog, the mysterious figure is slowly raising his head, his eyes emitting a heart-pounding light in the darkness.
The roar of the Bugatti Veyron's engine echoed in the night sky. Ye Faner drove the blue lightning with a sly smile on her face.
Jinianer was still munching on snacks in the passenger seat, as if this was a relaxing night out.
"Things overseas are really a headache..." Jinian'er suddenly put down the snacks in her hand, her tone gentle but a little helpless.
"What's wrong? Are you in any trouble?" Ye Faner asked with concern, a hint of sincere worry in her tone.
Ji Nian'er smacked his lips and turned serious. "I don't have any free time this time."
"Investigate the new envoy of the Shangxie Society, explore the remains of the Cthulhu Mythos, and plan a terrorist attack on Takama-ga-hara."
"One thing leads to another, and if there's even a slight mistake, the whole plan will fall through."
Ye Faner was stunned when she heard this, and then she gripped the steering wheel tightly: "Such a big thing, can you handle it alone?"
"Don't worry, I'm the most beautiful guy in the Shangxie Society!"
There was a hint of pride in Jinian'er's tone, but a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.
"Once these things are done, I may really not come back."
"Why?" Ye Faner's voice became low and the atmosphere became heavy.
Ji Nian'er looked out the window. The night sky was dotted with stars, just like the doubts in her heart: "You know the current situation of Daxia. The situation is turbulent and there are constant internal disputes."
"I can still do more outside, but coming back will only be dragged down by these internal struggles."
"I have my own goals and I won't give up easily."
Ye Faner was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "You girl, you are really stubborn. But do you know?"
"Daxia needs you. A little bit of your strength might change a lot."
Ji Nian'er smiled, with a hint of bitterness in her smile: "Maybe, but now I just want to do what I should do."
"If one day I can really return to Daxia safely, I will come back."
The car fell into silence. Both of them were silent. Only the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground echoed in the night sky.
At this time, on the foggy sea, Lin Ye'er and his group were standing on the edge of the broken city, looking at the foggy sea ahead.
The members of the night team had a hint of fatigue on their faces, but their eyes were shining with determination.
"Ye'er, how is it? Did you find anything?"
Baili Pang'er's voice came from behind her, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
Lin Ye'er shook her head and put down the telescope.
He said in a serious tone: "I seemed to see a figure just now. It flashed through the fog, but it disappeared very quickly."
"Is it Sister Ye Faner and the others?" An Yuqing asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"It's not like them."
Lin Ye'er shook her head. "That shadow exudes a cold divine power. It must be a powerful being."
"Then our most important task now is to send Cheng home."
Cao Yuanhai's voice rang out among the crowd, with a hint of firmness in his tone.
"We're still some distance from the Daxia border. I hope we don't run into any trouble along the way."
"Yes, I hope you have a safe journey." Chen Haner echoed, with hope in her eyes.
Lu Yuer looked at the fog around her and said with a smile: "Let's go, everyone cheer up, maybe there will be some surprises waiting for us ahead!"
Everyone smiled at each other and set out on the journey back to Daxia.
And in the depths of the fog, the mysterious figure slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing strangely in the darkness.
Lin Ye'er rubbed her eyes, raised the telescope again, and said with a hint of disbelief: "I seem to... see a person standing on the sea."
"Is there someone standing there?"
Baili Pang'er was confused.
"On the sea? Could it be Ye Fan'er and the others? With their driving skills, it's not impossible for them to float on the water!"
"Not like."
Lin Ye'er put down the telescope, frowning.
"Ye Fan'er and the others are driving a Bugatti Veyron, not a speedboat. Besides..."
She paused, her tone becoming more serious, "That person's feet... seemed to be stepping on a small boat."
"Small boat? At sea?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was strange that a small boat suddenly appeared in the foggy sea.
"Ye'er, could it be a mirage?" Lu Yu'er asked tentatively.
"Not like."
Lin Ye'er answered firmly, "A mirage wouldn't have such a clear image, and..."
She took a deep breath and said, "I feel the fluctuation of divine power. It's very weak, but it is there."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
On this foggy sea, a mysterious man is riding a small boat, emitting faint fluctuations of divine power, which makes people feel creepy no matter how they think about it.
Lin Ye'er hesitated for a moment, then took out a heart emitting a faint golden light from her arms.
He handed it to Chen Haner and said, "Haner, take this Sword Saint Heart. You and Lu Yuer stay here and protect the city. I will go and check the situation with the others."
Chen Haner took the heart and nodded solemnly: "Sister Ye'er, be careful."
Lu Yuer also put away her usual cheerful expression and said seriously: "Don't worry, we will protect the city. You should also pay attention to your safety."
Lin Ye'er nodded, and took Baili Pang'er, An Yuqing, and Cao Yuanhai and plunged into the thick fog.
The boat broke through the fog, making a slight sound, like a ghostly whisper.
Lin Ye'er and others held their breath and looked around vigilantly.
The fog gradually dissipated, and a hunched figure appeared before them.
He sat quietly in the boat, as if he had merged into the mist.
"Cough cough..."
A suppressed cough was heard, and the figure trembled slightly. A mouthful of blood sprayed onto the deck, appearing particularly dazzling in the dim light.
"Who is it?" Lin Ye'er shouted sternly.
The figure slowly raised his head, and a pale mask appeared in front of everyone.
On the mask, a bright red word "King" was deeply imprinted on it like a brand.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the sound of waves hitting the hull and that creepy cough echoing in the fog...
"This word 'king'..."
Cao Yuanhai murmured to himself, with a hint of fear in his voice, "Could it be..."
