Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300: Heading to Dongdu (Large Chapter requesting monthly tickets)

Main World · Nandu

"Director Liu is missing?"

In the office, Ye Yun lifted his head, looking in astonishment at He Ao in front of him.

"According to the intelligence from Dongdu, it seems so," He Ao nodded lightly, "His phone was left in the office, and we can’t find him through any means. He didn’t leave any ’message’, and the people outside the office didn’t see him leave, but he’s just vanished."

"Could it be that Director Liu is in a bad mood, or maybe he wanted to take a walk without being disturbed," Ye Yun hesitated for a moment, with a trace of disbelief in his tone, "Director Liu is truly a B-level, one of the strongest figures in the Main World, who can make him disappear out of thin air?"

"I hope it’s like that," He Ao shook his head, "From the messages sent from Dongdu, Director Liu has never ’gone out’ to relax before, as far as we know. Most of the assessment standards of the Research Institute, and many internal and even field departments, are under his responsibility. He hasn’t dropped the ball for years."

"Director Liu is a meticulous person," Ye Yun took a shallow breath and said in a low voice, "He wouldn’t do something as ’abrupt’ as ’leaving without notice’."

He looked at He Ao, "Then Minister He, why are you here?"

"There’s some chaos over in Dongdu now, and since Nandu is not far from Dongdu, I have to go over there," He Ao looked at Ye Yun, quickly explaining his intentions, "I need you to arrange a plane for me, as soon as possible."

"No problem."

Ye Yun nodded promptly.

Nandu is not far from Dongdu, a normal flight would take about an hour and a half, but that’s accounting for boarding, queuing for take-off, and so on.

The actual flying time is less than an hour. If air traffic control is lifted, and it flies at high speed, it could reach there in about half an hour.

However, all this requires someone influential in the local area to coordinate, so He Ao came to Ye Yun.

"There’s an emergency helicopter on the rooftop of the Nandu Research Institute," Ye Yun quickly comprehended the logic and came up with a solution as he looked at He Ao, "I’ll have the helicopter pilot go up, you go upstairs, and he will take you to the airport right away. I’ll coordinate air traffic control and a dedicated plane for you, so you can board directly at the airport."

"Alright."

He Ao nodded lightly.

The distance from the Nandu Airport to the research institute is not far, and the helicopter might take at most a little over ten minutes to arrive; getting a plane ready in ten minutes might be challenging.

However, He Ao didn’t ask Ye Yun how to solve it; since Ye Yun said so, he naturally had his own way, and it is likely he can resolve it.

As He Ao nodded, Ye Yun had already picked up the phone, dialing someone suspected to be a helicopter pilot, instructing them to head to the rooftop immediately.

"The pilot and maintenance crew have already headed up; they will quickly prepare for take-off first,"

Ye Yun put down the phone, raising his head to look at He Ao, "You can go up now."

"Alright."

He Ao nodded.

At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly remembered something, looking at He Ao, he hurriedly said, "By the way, are you unfamiliar with people over in Dongdu? I could make a call later to inform them about your arrival, so their person in charge will fly a helicopter to pick you up?"

"That would be good."

He Ao nodded slightly.

In just a few sentences, how to go and who would receive him, Ye Yun had already arranged it all.

This efficiency was somewhat beyond He Ao’s expectations; Ye Yun was quite capable.

As they spoke, He Ao also turned around to leave; time was urgent, and he couldn’t afford to delay.

Seeing him turn, Ye Yun also picked up the phone directly, ready to dial out.

At this time, he suddenly realized something, looked up at Ye Ying leaning against the corner of the office, and hurriedly looked at He Ao, "Minister He, what arrangements do you need for Ye Ying here?"

He paused, looking at He Ao who turned back, and awkwardly said, "Like practicing the moves you taught her or something."

He knew it was work-related now, but his sister’s life was at stake, and he couldn’t let it go, so he had to grit his teeth and ask He Ao.

"Ye Ying," Hearing his words, He Ao turned and glanced at Ye Ying in the corner, and slightly opened, "Do you want to go to Dongdu?"

With Ye Ying by He Ao’s side, as their connection deepened, the cooldown of the Trapped Destiny Plate accelerated. He would soon be able to enter it again.

This young girl might be hiding some big secret.

The incident of Liu Zhengyun this time gave He Ao an ominous feeling; he didn’t know when he would return to Nandu after this trip.

Next time returning to Nandu, would this girl still be alive?

Ye Ying’s current state could actually suddenly end at any time.

Keeping Ye Ying by his side could help him control the Trapped Destiny Plate and allow him to observe Ye Ying’s physical state in real time. Any new ’treatment’ ideas and inspirations could also let Ye Ying try them first to see the effect.

Of course, He Ao still had to ask for Ye Ying’s opinion.

"This..."

Hearing He Ao’s words, Ye Yun was slightly stunned. Looking at Ye Ying in the corner, he found that his sister’s gaze was already locked on He Ao.

He Ao looked at Ye Ying, and before the girl could speak, he said again, "Many of the things I do are life-threatening; following me, you could die at any moment. Think it over."

Staying beside him was not without risks.

This disappearance of Liu Zhengyun, he didn’t know what was going on, He Ao was already used to the feeling of danger around him, and Ye Ying following him was also full of perils.

Ye Yun looked at his sister, frantically blinking.

The girl seemed to notice her brother’s actions or perhaps not; her gaze remained fixed on He Ao. Her slightly open mouth paused for a moment, then quickly opened again, saying resolutely, "With the teacher, I am willing to go anywhere."

Ye Yun’s blinking eyes stopped, and his face turned slightly rigid.

"Are you sure?"

He Ao asked again.

"Yes!"

Ye Ying nodded firmly.

Beside her, Ye Yun sighed softly, almost undetectably.

He didn’t think it was bad for his sister to follow He Ao; on the contrary, as the only one who could see Ye Ying’s root illness, He Ao was her only hope of survival. Under normal circumstances, Ye Yun wished his sister would always stay by He Ao’s side.

But now was not a ’normal’ time.

Liu Zhengyun, one of the three B-levels of the Research Institute, had ’disappeared’.

This was akin to a pillar holding up the sky collapsing.

He Ao was clearly going to support the sky.

The whirlpool behind someone who could let a B-level vanish is unimaginable, the storm and danger within, he need not even think.

In moments of crisis, he was very willing to fight to the last moment for the Research Institute but didn’t want his sister to get involved.

But seeing his sister seemingly nailed with her gaze to He Ao, he could only suppress the tumultuous thoughts in his mind, looking at He Ao, saying with a smile, "Minister He, my sister is here to cause you trouble."

A daughter should not be kept at home too long.

However, looking back at Minister He’s past experiences, it wasn’t really a plot of a lone star destined for misfortune. No matter how great the danger, those who stayed by his side basically survived, and some even gained benefits.

Perhaps, this is also a ’chance’ for his sister.

"It’s fine, Ye Ying can also help me."

He Ao nodded gently.

He could see through Ye Yun’s thoughts at a glance, but he didn’t say much.

It’s very normal for family members to look out for each other, and if Ye Yun wasn’t worried about his sister, He Ao would have started doubting him.

He nodded slightly to Ye Yun, then turned and walked towards the door.

Ye Ying quickly followed, walking past Ye Yun, she looked at Ye Yun and quickly smiled, "Brother, you just blinked to tell me to follow Minister He, right? I guessed it all, I’m quite amazing, right?"

Ye Yun looked at his sister in front of him, his eyebrows twitched.

This girl has been smart and understanding since she was young, how could she not understand his intent? She was just pretending to be naive to tease him here.

The little girl had some small grievances about his opposition to her following He Ao.

"Who told you to grow up and have your own thoughts now."

Ye Yun shook his head, took out a small metal box from his waist, and stuffed it into his sister’s hand, "Be careful. If you encounter trouble, don’t back down. Since you’ve made your choice, keep moving forward. If you’re too scared, you can express your worries and fears to Minister He. He is someone you can trust."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ying was slightly taken aback, then she gripped the small metal box that Ye Yun gave her, and gently nodded, "I understand, brother."

After speaking, she walked out of the room, chasing after He Ao.

"Alas."

Ye Yun shook his head and picked up the phone.

Ye Ying agreed with her mouth, but she was just a college student who had just come of age, without an accurate understanding of this world yet.

But people always need to grow, and this world is becoming increasingly turbulent.

It’s better to cling to a powerful connection than to curl up in the corner awaiting death.

All Ye Yun could do was point his sister toward a path as much as possible.

Ring, ring, ring—

With the urgent dialing sound, one phone call after another was made.

——

The Ruins

"The fragment of Andaville’s Spear used to be placed right in the middle of this Stone Lotus."

Sitting on the top of the lotus petal, Li Cheng looked down and pointed to a flat spot in the middle of the lotus.

That used to be the stamen part, which was now replaced by a circular, seemingly lotus platform.

The stone lotus platform inside the lotus had a diameter of two to three meters, and was enveloped by the huge lotus petals around it, making it hard to notice from the outside.

"Was that Black Shadow crouching here just a moment ago?"

He Ao stood at the top of the lotus leaf, glanced down at the stone lotus platform beneath him.

He glanced at the hall outside and then at the lotus underfoot.

This lotus was carved with extremely high craftsmanship, lifelike.

If the smooth floor of the hall was likened to a calm ’water surface,’ then this Stone Lotus was the only blossom that slowly ’emerged’ from beneath this water surface and bloomed.

"It seems so,"

Li Cheng carefully examined the lotus petals and softly said,

"At the time, many people came to this hall. Here it was wide and bright, and those monsters almost never came over, making it especially ’safe.’

"So, there was speculation that this could be the channel to leave this cursed place. They helped each other, finding whatever tools they needed to climb into this Stone Lotus."

He glanced at the platform within the lotus, "Back then, the stone box containing Andaville’s Spear was right in the center of this platform. Some people climbed into the lotus, couldn’t find an exit and felt disappointed, then noticed the stone box. The stone box was engraved with strange runes, probably the seal of Andaville’s Spear. Those people were tempted by greed and attempted to open the stone box, and then they were all turned to dust by electricity."

"Do you remember the words on the stone box?"

He Ao looked at the lotus inside and out, listening to Li Cheng’s words, and casually asked.

"I don’t recognize those words, but I’ve seen them thousands of times and have memorized them,"

He raised his hand, and dazzling Thunder outlined complex words in the air.

He Ao looked at the words shaped by the Thunder; they were in the language of the First District, and the meaning was very simple.

[Electric hazard, do not touch by hand, beware of accidental ingestion.]

There was also a twisted symbol afterward, like a vertically structured eye forming an exclamation mark, seemingly some kind of warning symbol.

Seeing the slightly expectant look in Li Cheng’s eyes, He Ao translated the sentence.

Hearing He Ao’s words, Li Cheng was slightly taken aback, then chuckled hoarsely, "All these years, I always thought these were some ancient mystical runes, didn’t expect it to be such a simple warning phrase,"

He paused and seemed to recall something, sighed, "If those people back then knew how to read, they wouldn’t have sent themselves to death so easily, we’ve all suffered from illiteracy, haven’t we?"

"In a way, indeed."

He Ao looked at the words flickering with electric light in the air and slightly furrowed his brow.

In fact, these words weren’t written in the regular orderly script of the First District language; they appeared rather sloppy, with many sharp strokes softened, making these words more like some kind of complex ’pictograms.’

However, these rounded strokes gave these words some inexplicable transformation.

He Ao had a feeling that even if he didn’t know the meaning of these words, he would subconsciously feel that anything inscribed with these words was extremely dangerous and should not be touched lightly.

These words, in fact, already contained a certain kind of mysticism power, not merely simple warning ’words.’

The ordinary people who were initially sent into the ruins should also have been able to sense this ’threat’ and might have even felt more pressure than Transcendents, and thus been automatically driven away.

But they acted as though nothing was wrong, even trying to touch or take away the wooden box, which sounded quite extraordinary.

He Ao turned his head to look at Li Cheng and softly asked, "Director Li, what was your first impression upon seeing that stone box?"

"Very dangerous, I needed to move away immediately."

Li Cheng replied almost without hesitation.

Then, in the midst of speaking, he paused slightly, looking at the line of self-formed words, furrowing his brow slightly as if realizing something.

As Li Cheng pondered, He Ao already leapt onto the platform inside the lotus and quickly asked, "Director Li, do you still recall that terrifying force that emerged from the underground back then?"
