Chapter 238: The Conclusion of the Patch Plan (Part Two)
Obata Kazuki personally led the team and forced the door open. The room was in great disarray, and no items of value were found inside. However, they discovered two Japanese novels translated into Chinese! The books were very clean, with nothing tucked between the pages, and after undergoing special treatment, no hidden writing was detected.
This was highly unusual. Through a telegram, Obata Kazuki reported this suspicious circumstance to headquarters.
"The Sun"? "The Fly"?
The Special Service Section telegraph operator received the telegram from Shanghai and was utterly baffled.
Yunze was about to say something more when he noticed someone approaching. The person looked somewhat like Huashuo, but he felt a sense of astonishment: how could he possibly be here at this time?
Walking over to the bedside, a cold and expressionless face showed no emotion whatsoever. He reached out a hand, grabbed Ruoxin's shoulder, and brought the white porcelain bowl close to her lips. A pungent medicinal scent rushed toward them; inside was a bowl of dark, thick liquid medicine.
After perusing a few secret manuals and committing their contents to memory, Gao Cheng descended from the third floor and began browsing through the Buddhist scriptures on the first level. Seeing him come down, the old monk immediately and quietly headed up to the third floor, eager to check which supreme techniques the youth had looked at.
Lin Tianyao waved his hand with a smile. The emperor's corpse, whether complete or fragmented, appeared in mid-air, emanating astonishing fluctuations.
Luo Zhiyin was not knocked down; instead, she rose several places in the rankings, advancing to the twenty-eighth position. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Han would have cheered for her, but right now, Jiang Han only gave a slight shake of his head without displaying any emotion.
Xi Xichen refused to give up. She punched in Nangong Ming's number to call him, only to have the call hung up after two rings.
Xue Chuan looked at his own body and indeed realized that he was no longer maintaining the appearance of a five-year-old child, but instead manifested the vibrant and flourishing demeanor of his seventeenth year.
However, for Gao Cheng, as long as he could become the Administrator of Lujiang and secure his very first foundation of power, paying any price whatsoever was well worth it.
Apart from the orthodox sects of the pugilistic world, there were countless heroes across the realm. Figures like Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, in order to rebel against the Mongol Yuan, had joined the Ming Cult as rank-and-file members. What attracted them was not the doctrine of the Ming Cult, but the righteous cause of opposing the Yuan.
The Gold-tier warrior, who had been in a very wretched state while being besieged just a moment ago, was stunned at first, and then caught sight of Gao Cheng galloping over on horseback from afar. Overjoyed, he lunged forward to join forces and cut down the final executioner.
Throughout all this, he remained completely motionless, his body extraordinarily heavy. When Xia Qingxiao struggled to her feet, she discovered that he had his eyes tightly closed and had fainted. His complexion was even paler than before—no wonder his breathing had sounded so heavy. How could he have suddenly passed out?
Although Zhang Wuyi never uttered a word, Sun Yi-fan could sense his concern when Zhang Wuyi inquired about his cousin's gaming team.
"Your Majesty?" The courtiers looked up in surprise toward Sikong Yanfei, only to see their sovereign staring fixedly at the Empress's sleeping quarters, his lips pressed into a tight line.
"That's even more rebellious! I'm not trying to scare you." Qu Xiaoxiao gave Andi no chance to speak, grabbing her and pulling her away.
Lin Rongshen sneered. Just as everyone was wondering what the meaning of that sneer was, he suddenly leaped forward and threw a backhand punch that sent Jian Ting flying a considerable distance.
After getting up there, I didn't care where it was heading, as long as I could escape those police officers. Once inside the vehicle, I found some miscellaneous items piled up and immediately burrowed straight into the clutter. I could clearly hear a police car driving past the farm truck.
This was a situation where you knew the ending right from the start; why on earth should I take such a huge risk to try it? I am no longer young, and Xia Lailai of today is simply not as brave and reckless as she used to be. She can no longer withstand such violent turmoil.
Xiao Ziting's brows furrowed tighter and tighter as Mo Xue's tearful voice came through the cold receiver, striking Xiao Ziting's heart with every single word.
The matter was delayed for another two days. This time, Sister Tan called, asking what had happened on our end and why work still hadn't started yet.
