Chapter 466: Chapter 376 Old Friend and Execution_2

Her eyes swept over a pile of something resembling vomit again, and she began to feel somewhat irritable.

Just thinking about the current state of the present world, Xia Country, and East Sea City, like her dormitory, everything was becoming worse, but everyone was powerless to do anything about it.

She deftly pulled out her phone to unlock the door, hung her shoulder bag casually, and Mo Xingye couldn’t help but collapse onto the sofa.

This was a small room where the end was visible just by opening the door, with the desk, bed, sofa, and cupboards all cleverly squeezed together.

But such a clean and tidy small room had already become a very precious resource in today’s East Sea City.

As the war’s intensity kept rising, more and more people flocked to major cities like East Sea City, and the rent here got more expensive with each passing year.

For someone like Mo Xingye to have a single dormitory with a dedicated property service to clean and maintain the house was already the envy of countless refugees.

At this moment, Mo Xingye, after many consecutive days of overtime work, did not want to contemplate these matters and wished she could fall asleep right there and then.

However, thinking about the increasingly severe situation in East Sea City... she forced herself to get up: "First, let me revise the document and send it over, then I can rest..."

But excessive fatigue was evidently not something she could endure with just willpower alone; when Mo Xingye woke up, she found that three hours had already passed.

With a cry of alarm, she hurriedly operated the computer to check the status of the document.

Just then, a gentle male voice sounded: "Don’t be nervous, before you fell asleep, you had already finished the document, and sent it."

Hearing this male voice suddenly coming from her room, Mo Xingye swiftly turned her head to look and saw a young man sitting naturally on her sofa, holding and reading a book as if he were in his own house, completely at ease.

Mo Xingye glanced at the cover of the book, and couldn’t help but let a thought flash through her mind: "Lin Xing’s biography? I haven’t even finished this deceptive book yet..."

But in the next instant, she abruptly stood up, pointing at Lin Xing and said, "You! Who are you? Why did you break into my home?!"

Lin Xing slightly closed the book in his hand, looking at her anxious demeanor. He smiled faintly and said lightly, "Do you... believe in fate?"

Mo Xingye asked, "What... what?"

Lin Xing, with a calm expression, said, "Fate is like gravity, which can have a far-reaching impact on people who are originally distant from each other, and may even provoke wonderful collisions that change the paths of the past and the future."

"Just like you and me at this moment."

Mo Xingye, feeling utterly bewildered, suddenly found herself coming to her senses, standing at the entrance of the Quantum Research Institute.

"I..." Looking at the Quantum Intelligence Research Institute in front of her, she fell into a daze: "What just happened? Was I dreaming?"

She walked towards the dormitory with a furrowed brow, past the flickering streetlights, the vomit at the base of the wall, and... the man on the sofa!

"Do you... believe in fate?"

Mo Xingye looked at the man on the sofa, whom she’d never seen before, and a surge of excitement rose in her heart: "This... this kind of ability, I had only heard about it, I never thought experiencing it firsthand would be so miraculous."

She began to speak: "You... you couldn’t be..."

"No need to speak your guess aloud." The man made a silencing gesture and said with a smile, "Can you tell me where Jing Shiyu is now?"

Mo Xingye took a deep breath, with only one thought flashing back and forth in her mind: "That man, with such abilities, it must be him, he’s come back! East Sea City, which had been holding on for so long, is finally..."

But thinking of the situation between the two realms, a hint of doubt couldn’t help but show in her heart. The one who has returned now... can he really change the current situation?

After all, six years had passed, the world had undergone drastic changes, spiritual energy surged tumultuously, and the two realms had become connected. This world had changed far too much.

Even if he wanted to change all of this, it would be very difficult, wouldn’t it?

Thinking it over, Mo Xingye said, "She’s gone into hiding, and I don’t know where she’s hidden herself, but she should be safe."

"Gone into hiding?" Lin Xing asked curiously, "Who is she hiding from?"

Mo Xingye sighed, "She’s hiding from New Country, that is, the people of the new government to the south of the Mirror World."

"Ever since a year ago, the people of New Country have been constantly looking for the Holy Daughter. To avoid trouble, she started hiding half a year ago, and now no one knows where she’s hiding, not even able to make contact with her."

While speaking, she looked at Lin Xing in front of her with some hesitation and asked, "What are your plans for returning this time? Forgive my bluntness, but the current situation between the two realms is very different from six years ago."

"Especially with the spiritual energy surging, the chaos between the two worlds may never end."

As Lin Xing and Mo Xingye were talking, Bai Yiyi spoke from his heart region, "What do you plan to do? Are you going to retain her memory this cycle?"

Lin Xing replied, "Master Bai, please use the Yuhua Reincarnation Scripture to preserve her memory. I plan to stay here for a few days."

"On one hand, to try and make contact with Jing Shiyu."

"On the other hand..."

Lin Xing’s spiritual sense swept over Mo Xingye’s room, recalling the information he had gathered from her room, "Her current identity should be able to help me find a good heartwood for repairing my physical body and refining a new Immortal Artifact."

...

Meanwhile.

At the East Sea City police department building.

At this moment, one office was enveloped in a haze of smoke.

Zhang Tiande was smoking a cigarette while looking at the report in his hands, frowning and saying, "Those New Country bastards, openly killing and abducting people by daylight in East Sea City, and even brazenly attacking staff members of the Quantum Intelligence Institute, they’re really pushing it too far!"

A colleague by his side glanced at the once-strong man from Mirror World and said with a sense of helplessness, "What can you do when you’re not as powerful as them? Those guys just need to hide in the Spirit Cave, and our people can’t touch them at all."

Originally training martial artists for Xia Country in West Sea City, Zhang Tiande, after the surge of the spiritual energy, had easily become one of Xia Country’s most powerful people that could be commanded.

After going through rigorous tests and training, Zhang Tiande, shedding his former warlord’s aura, was stationed in East Sea City as the top expert officially in charge of suppressing turmoil in Xia Country’s largest city.

What troubled him most now was the repeated provocations by the strong people from New Country in East Sea City over the past year.

Although he originally came from the southern part of Mirror World, he had no fondness for that chaotic warlord-run territory, and now, he was even more disgusted with the people from New Country who kept causing trouble in East Sea City, which was tantamount to constantly slapping him in the face.

A subordinate said with resignation, "There are over a hundred immortals’ gates forming Spirit Caves in the whole East Sea City; New Country controls more than seventy of them, marking them as New Country territory. Every time their people commit a crime and flee there, what can we do?"

Another sighed, "Last time we managed to catch one, but by evening they were released by those above. In the end... the peace treaty cost so much to sign, now who dares to provoke New Country and disrupt the grand scheme?"

Just then, a female officer ran into the office in a hurry, looking at Zhang Tiande and shouting, "Chief... Chief! Something big has happened!"

"New Country has announced a message; they’ve captured Lin Xing and are planning to execute him publicly in East Sea City in a month!"

Zhang Tiande felt as if his mind had exploded; he sensed an unprecedented storm was about to hit East Sea City.
