Chapter 79
"stop!"
Seeing that the surrounding scenery had begun to become desolate, Gu Qingming jumped over the gap between the two walls. Seeing that there were few people around and it was already a wasteland, he shouted loudly.
Chu Zhongyuan gritted his teeth, a fluorescent wave flashed by, and he dodged in front of Monks, trying to capture him with physical skills, but Monks' reaction speed was so fast that he didn't even see Chu Zhongyuan's figure. He only felt the fluctuation of the en factor and dodged to the side.
Perfectly avoided Chu Zhongyuan's attack.
Luo Dong took this opportunity to shoot at him. Monks slightly turned sideways, stopped hesitating, and directly crushed a condensed supernatural power object.
The space began to fluctuate, Chu Zhongyuan wanted to stop it, but failed.
Ceobe's experience, timing, and ability to control supernatural powers are far superior to his.
"…Escaped again…"
Although he had expected this result, Gu Qingming still felt a little disappointed.
There are some things that, even though we know they will not succeed, we still feel regretful about them.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Ceope's ability to escape is too strong. But Zheng Qiuji should have reported to the CPA by now."
Chu Zhongyuan shrugged.
"The next step is to wait for the results of the full surveillance Skynet search by the Investigation Division and the Mystic Technology computers."
Gu Qingming shook his head.
The three of them ran all the way here without paying much attention to the surrounding situation. They sent messages to Zheng Qiuji for a long time but the other party did not reply.
They thought the other party was registering various information, so they turned on the navigation and found their way back to Pinglou, the CPA base.
but……
When Gu Qingming and the other two rushed back to the CPA base, Zheng Qiuji was not there.
Zheng Qiuji was nowhere to be found, either in the investigation department or in the dormitory.
"Where did this guy go?!"
Luo Dong couldn't hide his anxiety and frantically called Zheng Qiuji several times, but received no response.
Gu Qingming took out the walkie-talkie, selected the secret communication mode, and sent a message to Zheng Qiuji.
Maybe the other party is in a situation where he cannot use his mobile phone... But why did he find himself in such a situation when he should have sought reinforcements at the CPA headquarters?
Where was he and what happened to him?
Gu Qingming thought for a moment, stood up, and walked towards the registration desk at the CPA entrance.
CPAs must register when entering regional headquarters at any level in any city, and must also go through departure procedures when leaving to facilitate the screening of abnormal personnel.
Zheng Qiuji's disappearance was too sudden. A person with special abilities can only be considered missing after 24 hours. They don't have the time to go through the formalities and wait for the CPA to transfer personnel. They must start the investigation first.
Maybe we should wait for rescue now, but who cares? We have come such a long way, we can’t just wait for rescue forever.
Three high school students thought.
After all, they are also C-level psychics, so they can take the lead and buy time.
The registry will keep records of all the people with special abilities coming in and out. Here at least they can confirm whether Zheng Qiuji has... come back.
The CPA at the registration desk was a serious man wearing glasses. After Gu Qingming presented their identification documents as being from the same special ability group as Zheng Qiuji, the staff member searched the computer for a while and then spoke.
"It's a pity, but we didn't see Zheng Qiuji, the psychic, go through the procedures to leave not long ago."
The CPA staff in charge of registration at the door shook his head and looked embarrassed.
"What?!"
Luo Dong couldn't control himself and spoke out loud.
"We understand, thank you."
Gu Qingming pushed his glasses, showing an expression that said "as expected", and thanked the staff and said goodbye.
He turned around and pulled Chu Zhongyuan and Luo Dong over. The three of them stood facing each other in the corner, forming a small circle.
"Apply for a delayed call for assistance. After 24 hours, report the appearance of Ceob. I feel like we have something big to do..."
Chu Zhongyuan shrugged. Although he still looked relaxed and natural, his voice was terribly serious.
He did not stop his actions, and the moment Gu Qingming and Luo Dong nodded, the edited information was submitted and sent out.
"What should we do now?"
Luo Dong's face looked very ugly, but he suddenly felt the vibration of the walkie-talkie in his pocket.
"Any news?"
Gu Qingming looked up suddenly.
Luo Dong quickly took out the walkie-talkie, but did not see any message prompt.
The next second, there was another vibration, but it lasted shorter and seemed a little hasty.
Gu Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Morse code."
He said these four words almost at the same time as Chu Zhongyuan.
"ah?"
Luo Dong was so worried that his brain suddenly froze. He couldn't help but say "ah" and then knocked his head hard.
Morse code is a course that Teacher Cao Sheng requires students to study hard, but Luo Dong almost couldn't react to it.
"If I had known...I shouldn't have been lazy."
Luo Dong regretted with tears that he did not listen to the online class carefully when he was learning the Morse code. Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan sighed and divided the work to write down the Morse code sent by Zheng Qiuji.
The process of transmitting information was very short, and Zheng Qiuji's information was quite abstract. Gu Qingming looked at the Morse code several times to confirm before he was sure that the other party had indeed sent only two words.
"Dong, Bai."
Chu Zhongyuan took out a travel guide to Luosu City from his fourth-dimensional pocket, which had a map of the entire Luosu City printed on it.
"I didn't expect you to carry this with you..."
Gu Qingming was a little surprised. He saw that Chu Zhongyuan's pockets were empty and thought that the other party probably didn't bring anything.
"Ha, isn't it amazing? This is what a private space is like."
Chu Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows.
Private space is somewhat similar to the four-dimensional pocket in novels. It is a form of space-based supernatural power development. It can set a certain existence, such as a clothing pocket, as an entrance to develop a compressed space where only the supernatural person can retrieve and store things.
“Great, great.”
Gu Qingming's praise was sincere.
Luo Dong leaned over and followed Zheng Qiuji's instructions. Dong...Bai...
The most eye-catching thing on the map is the White Temple, one of the famous tourist attractions located in the east of Luosu City.
"He is in the White Temple now."
Gu Qingming frowned. Baisi was not close to the CPA headquarters. Why did Zheng Qiuji, or by whom, take him there?
"Forget it, let's take a taxi first."
He sighed and hailed a taxi.
The taxi driver was a very enthusiastic middle-aged man from another place, who seemed to be from Lantai area. When he saw the three young fellow villagers, he seemed to open up and kept talking about his hometown.
Although the uncle was very enthusiastic, the three teenagers were all worried about Zheng Qiuji. Only Chu Zhongyuan could cheer up and use his ability to talk nonsense to chat with the uncle.
Baisi is not close to Pinglou where the CPA headquarters is located, but the evening breeze in Luosha City is as sharp as that of the plateau, and there are not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
The driver had a happy chat with Chu Zhongyuan and drove steadily and quickly. It didn't take long before they arrived at the Baisi Scenic Area.
"But what are you young people doing here? The scenic area is only open from 9 am to 6 pm."
The driver was a little confused. Gu Qingming shook his head, paid the fare, and quickly got out of the car after saying "I'm here to see a friend."
"My friend likes photography. He came here to do some photography and forgot to bring his equipment, so we sent it to him."
Chu Zhongyuan smiled, explained in a few words, and then left with his two companions.
"It's great to be young. You should be so impetuous."
The driver rolled down the window and looked at several high school students running in the night with their clothes flying. He sighed, as if he saw his own youth decades ago.
The Baisi Scenic Area is a complex of ancient buildings with strong local ethnic characteristics. Although it is called the Baisi, it is actually one of the ruins of the lost civilization of Yangtong with an ancient history.
After being renovated, the Yangtong Civilization Site retained most of the ethnic white tower buildings, as well as the lake manor of that time, so the local government made a bold decision to open it as a scenic spot.
But now, it is already past nine o'clock in the evening, the gate of the scenic area is closed, the lights are on in the ticket hall, and there are only a few security guards on duty.
"White Temple... huh."
Luo Dong took two breaths. In order to take cram school in chemistry, he hadn't done any strenuous exercise for nearly half a month. He even took a day off for morning exercises, for fear that he would not have enough time for cram school.
"Where is this guy Zheng Qiuji?"
Luo Dong took a deep breath and looked around, only to find buildings with white walls and red and brown roofs standing silently in the night. The evening breeze blew quietly, as if mocking their powerlessness.
Gu Qingming closed his eyes and released the four wind snakes at once, flying around.
Gu Qingming usually uses one wind snake to explore the surroundings, but this time he used four at once, which shows that the situation is critical.
There was no one around the closed scenic area, which was a blessing in disguise as it allowed them to use their supernatural powers without so many restrictions.
The wind spread rapidly around with an almost invisible light blue color, and mysterious traces appeared and disappeared in the wind, gradually becoming clearer.
Chu Zhongyuan and Luo Dong were both silent, not daring to disturb each other's actions.
Gu Qingming opened his eyes and shifted his gaze to a small alley around the White Temple.
"A familiar smell... go!"
He paused, and began to recall in disbelief, trying to grasp the trace of that familiar mysterious factor in his memory.
Chu Zhongyuan and Luo Dong followed Gu Qingming towards the alley without any hesitation.
"……roar……"
A familiar smell was faintly visible in the darkness deep in the alley. Turquoise wind, white feathers, and deep blue fluorescent water waves appeared around the high school students at the same time, helping them to see the monster hidden in the darkness.
It was a four-legged beast that they could never forget.
It stood there quietly, making low growls that sounded like a threat.
It's just that his movements were a little stiff, with the stiffness of a puppet.
"Sha's puppet... that puppeteer is here too?!"
Chu Zhongyuan felt his solar plexus begin to throb. Obviously, Teacher Cao Sheng and the others should have gone to the secret realm to contain all the Keobe members in Luosha City...
Could it be that... the number of people who came to Ceope this time was far greater than what they expected to explore?
Horrible guesses swirled in his mind, and Chu Zhongyuan's inexplicable ominous premonition became stronger.
They are prone to big things...really...
Chu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly.
But no matter what, no one will back down.
Gu Qingming's expression did not change at all because of the appearance of the four-legged beast, and Luo Dong also looked resolute.
The high school students who were facing the enemy head-on did not notice that the curved snake was lazily coiled in the alley not far behind them, and Gamu, with a cigarette in his mouth, was quietly staring at the lighter in his hand that had long been extinguished.
His expression at this moment was no longer his usual playful one. Instead, he looked solemn, as if he had become a different person.
The giant snakes surrounded him restlessly, as if silently praying for something.
"rest assured……"
"Gamu" patted the snake's restless head and explained with nostalgia and emotion.
"They have been led into the secret realm. Once I have handed over my responsibilities... I can return this body to your original owner."
Who knows, the rich second-generation young master Jiamu who was unconscious during the summoning ceremony did summon a spirit snake of his own, but along with it came a great mysterious being of at least level five.
The snake coiled weakly, even though it had worked with this big guy for a long time, it was still afraid.
I can only pray silently in my heart that this big guy will keep his promise and let its new owner go.
The spirit pet has an instinctive loyalty to the master who summoned it. Although it was frightened to the point of almost losing consciousness by the mystery that was far beyond its own level, the snake still stayed by its master's side and cooperated with the mysterious man's actions.
Just for the master to come back.
