"It's nothing." Xinghe walked to the desk, opened the book, and started reading.

"You won't even tell me?" Li Xi followed her to her side, sat down, and watched together.

Xinghe reads physics books quickly, but novels slowly. She likes to savor the meaning of the stories. "Some things are not about whether you are willing to say them or not, but about how saying them will make them disappear."

Some things can't be said, because if you say them, they won't come true.

The phrase suddenly flashed through Li Xi's mind. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Suddenly, the fuselage was hit by something, causing it to shake violently, and the two people fell backward uncontrollably.

Li Xi caught Xinghe with lightning speed, causing her to fall onto herself, while she herself landed on her back.

"Doctor, are you alright?"

The voice of the guard at the door came from outside.

Xinghe quickly got off Li Xi and anxiously checked him over, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Li Xi grabbed her hand, sat up, and shook her head. "I'm fine."

Xinghe's expression turned serious. "Let's go, let's go ahead."

“Okay.” Li Xi nodded and helped her stand up.

When the door opened, the guard chief's worried face was there.

Seeing that they were alright, the head guard breathed a sigh of relief and looked at them with great respect. "Dr. Li, Dr. Li, you go in first, put on your parachutes, fasten your seatbelts, and leave the rest to us."

The cabin would occasionally sway, making it difficult to stand up.

Xinghe shook his head. "I want to go take a look ahead."

"Doctor!" The head of the guard tried to persuade her.

Xinghe raised her hand to stop him, "I expected what's happening now. Take me to the driver's seat."

Seeing her calm demeanor, the head guard was convinced of her abilities. He led the way, escorting her to the front cabin.

Xinghe walked to the front, stood behind the driver, and looked at the display screen.

Nothing was displayed on it, yet the feeling of the plane being hit remained unchanged.

The driver must have been seeing ghosts; he didn't know what was attacking them. How could they avoid it?

But they still had a question in their minds: When did this plane become so sturdy? It survived such a collision without any damage.

"I'll drive," Xinghe said.

"What?!" Everyone in the cockpit was stunned.

The head guard earnestly advised, "Doctor, this is no joke."

Xinghe looked at him, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Apart from Li Xi, no one here believed that Xinghe was capable of piloting an airplane. They could believe she could drive a car, but an airplane? Had anyone ever heard of her having studied it?

"Trust her," Li Xi said, offering only one sentence.

The head of security was somewhat tempted, but still stopped her, saying, "Dr. Li, we are responsible for your safety."

Xinghe raised her hand and sprayed a quick spray into his eyes.

The head guard was caught off guard and was sprayed directly, his eyes stinging as he rubbed them.

Xinghe pinched his chin, forcing him to look forward.

"ah!"

The head guard recoiled in fright. Though he could only see it for a fleeting moment, he truly saw it. Outside, swarms of birds were ramming into the plane, and even more terrifyingly, many birds were using ropes to drag around a sharp, iron spear, repeatedly striking the windshield in front of it.

Xinghe glanced at him. With that kind of guts, he's supposed to be the head of the guards?

"You saw it?"

The head guard looked at her. "Doctor, what's that?"

"Just a flock of birds."

"What bird?" The driver looked ahead nervously, but there was nothing there.

"Doctor, can you see anything?" the guard chief asked, looking ahead now but seeing nothing.

Xinghe nodded and handed him the spray. "This spray is called... Demon's Blindness, right? It allows you to see things in front of you briefly."

The head guard held the spray bottle, looked at it, and his expression turned serious. How could these men possibly deal with something invisible?

"Will you let me fly or not?" Xinghe asked again. Of course, she was very patient, since the plane wouldn't be damaged in a crash.

The head of security finally made a decision, nodded, and looked at the captain, "Captain Wei, open the cabin for the doctor. Only she can see those things from here."

"What exactly is that? Doctor, why don't you tell me its location and I'll avoid it?" Captain Wei still found it hard to believe that she could fly a plane.

Xinghe was amused and looked up at the dark mass in front of him. "Chief of Guard, can you tell him how to tell us our location?"

The head guard wiped his brow, realizing the situation was really bad. "Old Wei, stop arguing with the doctor."

Captain Wei still found it hard to believe that he hadn't seen the thing.

"As a soldier, one should obey orders from superiors." Xinghe had long since seen through Captain Wei's true identity.

"Yes, sir." Soldiers cannot disobey orders from their superiors; it's a matter of discipline. As a doctor, Xinghe, although they are the ones protecting her, does indeed have the authority to command them to a certain extent.

After handing over the pilot's position, Xinghe began instructing the co-pilot to fly as she had said.

After Captain Wei moved aside, he took the spray from the head guard and sprayed it into his eyes.

The intense stimulation was indeed a bit too much for his eyes. After adjusting for a while, Captain Wei looked up again and what he saw almost made his legs go weak.

A thought immediately popped into my head: "Holy crap, have I ever eaten roasted bird meat before?!"

The head guard helped him up. "Old Wei, you saw this. How can you give orders like this? If I give orders to you, how can I also give orders to the co-pilot?"

Both of them were soldiers, so their ability to learn was naturally much better than that of ordinary people.

The pilot in front, Xinghe, completely ignored them, focusing on how to avoid them. The co-pilot was utterly bewildered, having seen nothing and forced to mechanically follow orders.

"Everyone in the cabin, please return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and don't wander off."

After being initially frightened, Captain Wei was relieved to see her flying the plane calmly and methodically, and he knelt down! He then personally went to the intercom to explain the situation.

Standing behind Xinghe, Li Xi pursed his lips and frowned slightly. He thought that only he could see these things, but he didn't expect that she could see them too.

"Li Xi, you go outside and sit down too. Tell the head guard and Captain Wei not to come over. Just fasten your seatbelts."

“Okay.” Li Xi turned and left without contradicting her, because he knew that putting her at ease was the most important thing at this time.

Xinghe tried his best to stabilize the aircraft, asking in his mind, "Xiao Jie, have they fastened their seatbelts?"

"It's tied."

"Xiao Jie helped me get my physical condition to its best."

"Master, hold on for one more minute."

"Um."

Xinghe emitted a faint light.

Seeing that she was hesitant to give an order, the co-pilot asked, "Doctor, what should we do now?"

"Wait a minute," Xinghe said.

The co-pilot assumed she was giving the chief of staff and the others time to fasten their seatbelts, so he didn't ask any more questions and instead cooperated with her to stabilize the aircraft.

A minute is a long time for the Milky Way. Flying a plane is not an easy task. It requires not only excellent eyesight but also very good overall physical fitness.
