The meeting that came and went in a hurry was a bit anticlimactic. Fei Jin, Mirage Fire, and Black Wolf were silent the entire way. Each had their own thoughts.
After crossing the winding bridge that cut through the forest, Fei Jin stopped at the head of the south bank bridge. She said that she was waiting for a friend. Mirage Fire and Black Wolf tactfully said their goodbyes. After a courteous handover, they concluded the mission of Acumen College.
The two prepared to walk through the entrance to the underground parking lot of the south bank auditorium. Because it was eight or nine o 'clock in the evening on a weekend, there were not many people around. It was very quiet. Coupled with the outstanding perception of ability users, they could still hear Fei Jin's voice from dozens of meters away. It was different from the soft and low tone before, and it sounded a little sharp.
"This sort of thing is meaningless!"
Black Wolf turned his head to look. Under the illumination of the stone lanterns at the head of the bridge, he could see that Fei Jin was talking to someone through her wristband. The atmosphere was quite tense. He raised his eyebrows. "Tsk. It looks like this lady had a hard time restraining herself."
"Don't worry about other people's business." Mirage Fire didn't even turn his head. He just walked straight ahead.
Black Wolf shrugged. "I just find it strange. This mission is too simple. We are the consultants of the Starry Sky Club. How can we just say these few words from beginning to end? There's nothing for me to do. Maybe it's better to stay at the training center at night... "
Mirage Fire turned his head to look at him. "Isn't dealing with Mr. Luo the most difficult thing in Xia City? If you aren't with us, who knows how much more effort it would take to get rid of this misunderstanding. "
"Luo Nan. I heard from Yingying that he's usually a weak otaku, but he always overreacts to external stimuli. He's probably the type that doesn't understand the rules of doing things. He acts completely according to his own emotions. "
Mirage Fire lowered his head and laughed. "Mr. Luo is a universally recognized master of perception. Do you think he can hear us across the river? "
Black Wolf grinned. "He's not that petty …"
Though he said this, Black Wolf changed the subject. "Senior, you're leaving tonight right? I'll take you to the airport."
"I would have taken you even if you didn't mention it. At least help me return the rental car... Also, I'm not going to the airport. I'm going to the dock."
"Huh?"
"The Order has made some last-minute arrangements. They need me to go on a mission in the seas outside of Xia City. If things go smoothly, I might be able to make a detour to Ocean City and take a plane to the New World from there."
Black Wolf replied with an "oh" and did not take it too seriously. Ability users like them would always have some strange things to do.
"Then I'll go with you to the dock and return your car to the car rental company." Actually, Black Wolf knew that the car rental shops in Xia City had value-added services such as driving or remote summoning services. However, chatting with Senior Brother Mirage Flame for a while and listening about soul cultivation techniques was always a good idea.
The two of them found the flying car in the underground parking lot. This time, Black Wolf sat in the driver's seat. When the car followed the instructions and entered the exit lane, the wind whistled behind them, and a silver-gray supercar swept past them.
The side window of the sports car was open, and they could see the fashionable woman in the driver's seat. It was Fei Jin, who had just bid farewell to them not long ago. The air currents from the sports car blew her long, curly hair, making her look dazzling and charming.
However, how annoyed was she that she had to drive so fast in the underground parking lot?
"I hope she won't give us a bad review when she gets back."
"Don't worry. She wasn't the one who issued the mission," Mirage Flame said and told Black Wolf the address they were going to.
Black Wolf went through it in his mind and said curiously, "That's not a port."
"A private dock."
Forty minutes later, Black Wolf drove the car into the private dock area that Mirage Flame spoke of. This was actually a seaside resort villa area. One could hear the sound of the tide rustling on the coast. The rhythm was distinct, and the place was gentle. In summer, this place would be a golden beach, a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, due to the season, the villa area appeared rather deserted. There were not many lights.
Black Wolf drove the car into the villa area under Mirage Flame's guidance. The journey was smooth and unimpeded. It was clear that Mirage Flame had access to this place. This was very normal, but also a bit strange.
Black Wolf looked to both sides, "Where do I get on the boat? I didn't see where the dock was just now … Hey, look over there! "
Under the illumination of the car's headlights, the silver-gray streamlined body of the car was rather eye-catching. Black Wolf felt that this car was very familiar. He was a member of the Xia City branch operation team, so he had a very good memory. He looked at the license plate and concluded, "It's that Miss Fei.
"It's that Miss Fei who's been suppressed miserably. What a coincidence. Is she here to meet her lover?"
"Don't worry about others." Mirage Flame signaled Black Wolf to stop the car.
The two got off the car one after another. Then, Mirage Flame pointed to the detached villa next to them, "This is it."
Black Wolf laughed in spite of himself, "Senior, are you driving this house to the sea?"
Mirage Flame responded seriously, "This is the ticket hall."
"Huh?" Black Wolf didn't understand. He just followed Mirage Flame subconsciously.
Mirage Flame was very familiar with this place. He also had the corresponding access. He crossed the front yard in two or three steps and opened the front door of the villa. The lights in the villa were always on. After the door opened, the gentle light seeped out from the room and elongated Mirage Flame's shadow. The shadow extended to Black Wolf's feet.
"A secret base," Black Wolf mumbled. He already had a guess in his mind. Mirage Flame didn't go to the sea through proper channels.
This was nothing. This was normal in the Inner World.
Black Wolf was even a bit happy. Being able to follow him here meant that in Mirage Flame's eyes, he already had the qualifications to enter the villa.
He walked through the door and before he could look at the decorations inside. Mirage Flame suddenly remembered something. "Ah, I left my tool bag in the car."
"I'll go get it."
"Forget it. You don't know which one it is. Give me the key. Sit in the living room for a while. There should be fruits there. "
Mirage Flame took the key and walked back. Black Wolf shrugged. Only then did he see that the main hall of the villa was a hollow structure. The first and second floors were connected by a circular staircase. It was very spacious and spacious. It would be a pity if it was left empty … huh?
At this moment, Black Wolf suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was shouting in an intense tone, "These tests are meaningless. There's no meaning in them at all. Don't you understand? I'm not his type. His attitude is just perfunctory! "
Black Wolf was stunned.
Then, a low and pleasant female voice rang out, "Of course there is meaning in the tests. The importance that person places on Gear and the Withered Tree Sandbar are all points that can be used. Furthermore, you have a nominal connection with him … "
"So you know it's nominal? I'm sorry, but I can't carry that name. At the same time, I have my reservations about your recent work arrangements. I will report this to the relevant authorities! "
As the voice spoke, high heels stomped heavily on the floor. A certain lady, fine, it was Fei Jin, who he had already met many times tonight. She stormed out of a room on the second floor.
She strode to the staircase, but she stopped. His eyes met the Black Wolf's in the completely empty main hall.
Black Wolf's mind went blank. He instinctively wanted to explain. But in the next moment, there was a slight gap between their gazes. It was also at this moment that a strong sense of fear rapidly spread from her eyes to her entire face.
Not good!
