A year later
Bosingwa and Hou Baishan announced Xia Fei's disappearance to the cadets waiting outside the tunnel. Just as expected, the news did not cause a ripple.
Xia Fei was a strange existence in the inner division. He only spent three hours a day in the training room and rarely participated in the training courses of the inner division, so most of the cadets and instructors only knew of Xia Fei's name and did not know who he was.
In their hearts, Xia Fei was nothing more than a librarian who had managed to sneak into the inner division by chance. He was not on the same level as these prodigies.
The disappearance of a person whom no one knew or even knew would naturally not attract the attention of others. So be it if he went missing. After all, Xia Fei was just a name in the inner division when he was alive, so it did not matter if he was there or not.
Ye Xiaohan lowered her head deeply. That frosty face of hers did not look any different than usual, but she knew very well that at this very moment, her heart was beating wildly out of control, and her mind was a complete blank.
She, who had been brought up strictly and rigidly from a young age, did not know why she was acting this way. All she felt was that her heart was hurting at this very moment, as if a sharp knife had pierced through it.
Without saying a word, Ye Xiaohan activated her speed ability and quickly escaped. She was used to running away when she did not know how to face things, and this was the only thing she could do at the moment.
Among the remaining people, Moon Song and Chen Dong had very ugly expressions on their faces. Moon Song pouted as she looked coldly at the expressionless cadets. Chen Dong knew very well that this was a sign that Moon Song was about to explode. This young tigress was absolutely terrifying when she was angry, making one's hair stand on end.
Actually, though Moon Song often put on a fierce look, she was not actually angry. It was just her attitude, and she preferred to use violence to solve the problems around her.
Anyone who thought that Moon Song had a good temper would be sorely mistaken. The cute Moon Song was by no means a kind-hearted person. Very soon, these unlucky cadets would witness the other terrifying side of Moon Song.
What kind of attitude is that? Moon Song's eyes were cold as she said coldly. Her fists were tightly clenched, and two veins were popping out on her forehead. It was obvious that she was enraged, and no one could stop her now.
Are you all that happy that Xia Fei is missing? Moon Song's voice was a little hoarse.
Moon Song's voice was loud and clear, just like a beautiful oriole. The other cadets did not realize that a disaster was about to befall them. They were still chatting and laughing.
Bai Ye hurriedly took a few steps back. As the only one who knew the true nature of this demoness, he had a far greater understanding of her rage than the average person. He rubbed his left arm uneasily, where Chen Dong had taught him a lesson. When he first entered the ruins, Chen Dong had come looking for him and beaten him up without any explanation. His arm was still aching from that beating.
"Alright, I'll let you guys rejoice in my misfortune today," Moon Song said solemnly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the scene in front of everyone suddenly changed. Illusions were fully unleashed. Moon Song had already set up the required environment while she was speaking. In an instant, everyone was trapped in a sea of monsters.
Countless ferocious and terrifying monsters surged out from all directions, pouncing towards the gloating students!
These monsters were created by Moon Song. Although they weren't real, they were no different from real monsters. Every strand of hair and tooth was vivid and lifelike.
The crowd immediately fell into chaos. These unprepared students fell into the illusion and were unable to extricate themselves. A student with a crew cut waved his hand and punched a minotaur beside him. He suddenly realized that his fist had actually hit the minotaur. The feeling from his fingers told him that these monsters were real!
On the other hand, the monster that was beaten pounced on the Crew-cut, and the two of them wrestled together.
This was the ingenuity of the Illusion Special Ability. In the eyes of these students, the monsters were actually the students standing beside them. It was Moon Song who had used her special ability to turn the students around her into monsters!
The empty space outside the tunnel was in chaos. More than forty students were wrestling with each other as if they had lost their minds.
Hou Baishan furrowed his brows and was about to step forward to stop them when Bosingwa quietly pulled on his sleeve. "Forget it. This isn't the camp. It's normal for students to fight among themselves."
Hou Baishan was no fool. He immediately understood what Bosingwa meant. The students were gloating over his misfortune, which made Bosingwa a little unhappy, so he might as well let Moon Song teach them a lesson.
Besides, learning how to deal with an Illusion Special Ability User was a good course. After this, the students would be calmer when facing an Illusion Special Ability User.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, they strode off into the distance, leaving the students who had been caught up in the melee. When the other instructors and Hou Baishan's subordinates saw that the two big shots were not going to bother them, they had no reason to intervene. So, they quickly followed behind them and left the area.
"Chen Dongs!" Moon Song shouted at the top of her lungs.
"What are you doing?"
"Beat them up for me! Beat them to death! "
"Alright. Which one?"
"Everyone!"
Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Xia Fei's disappearance was like throwing a pebble into the ocean, not even causing a ripple. He did not even manage to make a splash before he was drowned out by the ocean.
On this day, Planet YZZ-7526 welcomed a special group of guests. A long-distance fleet had quietly landed somewhere not far from the ruins of City 02.
Thousands of fully-armed warriors swiftly disembarked from the warship, brandishing their weapons as they pounced on the insectoids living in the ruins.
As such, the insectoids who did not know what was going on were in for a calamity. These warriors seemed intent on killing all the insectoids in the ruins, showing no mercy. It did not matter if the insectoids were male or female, old or young; they were all within the range of the warriors.
A few moments later, the scent of blood unique to the insectoids gradually thickened. These warriors had very high cultivation, and the low-rank insectoids were no match for them. Very soon, the desolate ruins were shrouded in the stench of blood.
The flagship of this fleet was an Amarrian's Hell's Angle-class battleship. It had a shiny golden exterior and a massive body. Eight superlaser cannons protruded from both sides of the ship, their pitch-black muzzles pointing straight at the clouds.
Just as the warriors cleared out the insectoids in the ruins, the hatch of the warship slowly opened, and an escalator extended out from within. A fifteen-year-old blonde girl, accompanied by an old man and a young officer in his twenties, stepped onto the escalator. The escalator slowly moved, sending the girl down from the warship to the surface.
If Xia Fei were here, he would have recognized this beautiful girl immediately, for she was none other than Avril, whom Xia Fei had known through the interplanetary internet for a long time but had never met in person.
It was just that Xia Fei would never have imagined that Avril's family background would be so extraordinary. She actually had an entire fleet escorting her when she was out, not to mention the other fleet orbiting the planet, as well as the three small scouting fleets several tens of thousands of lightyears away.
Avril's face was still as beautiful as before, and her skin was as tender as a newborn baby's. However, her pretty little face was sickly pale, and her eyes had lost their former brilliance. She could not help but feel pity for her. Avril's face was still as beautiful as ever, and her skin was as smooth as a newborn's.
A specially modified luxurious shuttle car drove over from afar. In order to adapt to the messy rubble in the ruins, the vehicle's suspension system had been purposely increased, so it was at least two meters above the ground. Furthermore, its movements were very stable, not causing the passengers to feel the slightest bit of swaying.
The young second lieutenant opened the door and stood at attention. Avril and her old butler, Elder Pang, sat in the back seat, while Jensen, the commander of Starlink Corporation's First Fleet, sat in the driver's seat.
Several minutes later, this black shuttle car slowly drove into the tunnel that Xia Fei had disappeared from. Both sides of the tunnel were lined with fully-armored soldiers, standing as straight as javelins, their expressions stern.
The shuttle car stopped in front of the mineral research facility. Avril got out of the car without saying a word. Butler Pang took out a bouquet of snow-white lilies and handed it to Avril.
Miss, why don't I help you bring it in? The air inside is a little turbid. Jensen bowed as he said this, thinking himself clever.
Avril did not even look at him, treating him as air around her. Lifting her white dress, she took small steps toward the interior of the research facility.
Those who were familiar with Avril would know that she usually loved the color pink, and it could even be said that she was crazy about it. From the decorations of her room to her clothes, even her dolls were dressed in pink, yet today, she was wearing a pure white dress, which was definitely a rare sight.
Butler Pang glared at Jensen before following closely behind Avril.
It had been three months, and Avril seemed to have changed into a different person. She was a man of few words, smiling less and less with each passing day, and her figure was getting thinner and thinner.
The process was very uneventful. Avril placed the bouquet of lilies in the cell where Xia Fei was last seen and softly said, Scoundrel, I don't believe that you're going to die just like that. If you don't come back, Ill …
The rest of her words were barely audible, and no one could tell what she was saying. In any case, Avril placed the bouquet of lilies and said a few more words before boarding the Hell's Angel battleship and leaving for space.
Could she have traveled millions of lightyears just to deliver a bouquet of lilies and scold Xia Fei a few more times?
Time flew, and it was soon spring. Xia Fei had been missing for an entire year, and people were slowly beginning to forget about his existence.
In an unknown place in the universe, a young man in his late teens was standing at the peak of a mountain, looking down at the jungle valley below him. There was a small winding river in the valley that led all the way to the misty grassland.
From time to time, there would be the shrill howls of wild beasts coming from the bottom of the valley. Just from the sound alone, one could tell that this was not the legendary paradise.
This young man was slightly hunched over, looking very tired. His long, dirty hair draped over his shoulders, and his chin was covered with a thick beard, as if he had not shaved for a long time.
There was a green dagger on his right arm, and the blade was full of cracks and gashes. It was obvious that he had been through battles that were hard to imagine, or else this top-grade dagger would not have ended up in such a state.
