Chapter 16: White Night Guild
"Since you are going to the White Night Guild, according to human etiquette, shouldn't you inform them before you come?" The light ball reminded them, remembering what it had read in the book.
Since cooperating with Shi Xu, it has read books related to humans in its spare time, trying to understand its partners and make the two sides get along more happily.
"Well...according to our last meeting, it will most likely be considered a threatening letter, right?" Shi Xu was embarrassed. "But this is also very interesting. I will do as you said."
He readily took out a pen and paper and began to write a notification letter in an incorrect format. After writing a few sentences, he gave it to Xiaoguang to locate and deliver the letter.
Although my format and delivery method were aggressive, my words were polite and elegant, which offset the two.
——
A few days ago, Lin Du, who had traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, finally returned home. He smiled tiredly, thanked the people and his subordinates who shed tears.
"President, after those superpowers who were involved in the group fight realized what they had done, they volunteered to go look for you. What will we do with them when they come back?"
Lin Du was silent for a moment. He really wanted to make those bastards sweep toilets for a month, but it was normal for people with special abilities to have friction. This incident was beyond anyone's expectations, and he didn't expect that he would be so unlucky, adding insult to injury.
"Let them clean all the toilets for two weeks."
Even the president needs to release stress appropriately. He thought so and instructed his subordinates: "Call Jin Nan to my office in half an hour."
"OK."
Actually, Lin Du hadn't had a good rest for three days, but he was thinking about something, so he simply washed off the mess on his body, changed into clean clothes, and sat on a chair, closing his eyes and thinking.
His mind was still replaying the scene of seeing the psychic. Even though he was in a safe place now, he still felt a lingering fear.
That feeling of oppression and that look... He wanted to look away at that moment. Since becoming the leader, I haven't felt this kind of fear and retreat for a long time.
He also specifically asked his subordinates whether any special lightning-type mutants had appeared in the past few days, and received a negative answer.
The knock on the door interrupted Lin Du's thoughts, and he raised his voice and said, "Come in."
Jin Nan opened the door and looked at Lin Du with tears in his eyes. His baby face was full of emotion. "President! I didn't expect that you would look for me first. I didn't mean to not greet you. It was really because I...hiccup!"
He blurted out a string of words and flew to the desk, wanting to give his dear leader a hug. However, he was so shocked by the serious face he saw the next second that he burped and immediately straightened himself up.
"What happened, Chief?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm sorry for the hard work these days when I'm not here." Lin Du was used to his acting skills. Jin Nan was the first psychic he recruited and also Bai Ye's second-in-command. He was the one who handled the affairs when he was away.
"I didn't tell you in detail on the phone, but I was able to come back this time thanks to a person with special abilities."
"A person with superpowers?" Jin Nan repeated, somewhat confused.
"Yes." Lin Du nodded, "He is a very powerful psychic... He may have two types of psychics."
"!What?"
Taking a deep breath, Jin Nan turned into a repeater in disbelief: "Two types of superpowers?"
——
At that time, Lin Du had just eaten wild fruits to quench his thirst and stave off hunger, and was wondering tiredly when he would be able to get out of the forest.
Just as he was about to continue walking, a deafening roar suddenly erupted not far away, as if eighteen thunderbolts had struck the ground all at once; a meteorite broke through the atmosphere and smashed into the ground with the force of thunder; a huge bell that was being struck fiercely covered him in the center...
He didn't know how many words he had to use to describe the deafening sound. He just felt that his soul was shaken out of his body by the sound, and his head was buzzing.
After finally recovering, Lin Du pushed his glasses and thought worriedly: The mountain won’t collapse, right? Could he be so unlucky? There is not even the possibility of going home. Am I going to be a free savage in this deep mountain forest from now on?
So, is his life a comedy or a tragedy?
Stay calm, maybe it was caused by humans, let's go find out what it is first before doing anything else. Although it's scary to meet a demolition master in a place like this, he is still a fellow human after all.
Looking in the general direction, Lin Du cautiously lowered his footsteps and pushed aside the branches and leaves that blocked his sight. After walking for more than ten minutes, he finally saw a figure and a spectacular pit on the ground.
Yes, a big hole was dug by a man using his supernatural powers, creating a clearing in the dense forest, and the surrounding trees were charred black.
Lin Du looked at the figure. It was a man in a black windbreaker. His slender figure was leaning against a tree trunk, looking down at the pit in front of him. He was raising his hand, and on his palm was a ball of violent thunder.
It seems that he is eager to dig another hole.
Sensing someone coming, he raised his head sharply and shot straight at Lin Du.
It was a very young face, or rather, very beautiful, but the imminent stormy aura about him overshadowed his overblown appearance, so that at first glance people would only notice his indifferent gaze, and the strong oppression in the air, which made it difficult for them to breathe. Lin Du found that there was no sign of dejection on his face, as if using his supernatural powers to dig a big hole in the ground was just a warm-up exercise.
Could the thunder ball on that hand and the pit next to it be prepared for me... ?
Lin Du suddenly found that his mouth was dry and he was speechless for a moment. He felt that he had never been as miserable as he was at this moment in the past two days.
His heart was beating rapidly, his adrenaline was surging, and he felt the fear that came from within, like an animal encountering its natural enemy.
It was incredible, since the end of the world, he had never felt this kind of emotion towards people with special abilities. Even when he realized that he had been teleported to a deep mountain and might even die there, he did not feel such intense emotions in his heart.
Who is this person? He firmly believed that he had never heard of such a powerful lightning-related psychic. He knows all the superpowers in the righteous camp clearly, so where did this person come from? Is the government hiding such a trump card? Or from another guild? Even if a person with special abilities has not joined any camp, it is not unknown for him to have such abilities.
Oh no, I have been silent for a long time. Will keeping silent make him angry? But what can I say? Can telling him that I am the leader of Bai Ye make him take back the thunder and stop threatening me?
As if he had heard Lin Du's inner thoughts, the young man cancelled his supernatural powers, lowered his hands and put them into the pockets of his windbreaker, and his imposing manner was slightly restrained.
"Hello, I..."
Lin Du pushed his glasses up, calmed himself down, and opened his mouth to say hello and introduce himself.
The next second, my eyes blurred and I was teleported to a village without any foreshadowing.
"?" This is Lin Du who has a confused look on his face.
"?" This was a pedestrian who just happened to pass by.
"!" This was the little kid holding his mother's hand and pointing at Lin Du in shock.
Afterwards, Lin Du borrowed a phone to call the union members, and the kind villagers brought him bread and water.
He was thinking while eating, his mind was elsewhere.
That person was using two superpowers, right? He had used the High-Quality Teleportation Talisman before and was sure that the two were completely different.
I've used rubbish ones too... The teleportation talisman that was photographed on his face was of very poor quality, made from poor raw materials. It's only suitable for escaping in a panic. The teleportation location and distance are uncertain, and the teleportation experience is extremely poor. The advantages are uncertain, the disadvantages are fixed.
How does it start, you ask? Lin Du didn’t know either, but at least the teleportation talisman didn’t explode on his face, but teleported him gently. Isn’t it lucky to think so? Ha ha.
——
"So, this person is very likely to have two completely different abilities."
"...You have suffered, President." Jin Nan looked at Lin Du with heartache. He said in a complicated tone: "Actually, I came here to tell you a piece of news. The forest where you are has been covered with black fog since you left. It is an A-level copy. If you had not been teleported away by that person, you would have..."
Black fog? And it just happened to be in the forest where he was?
Lin Du was shocked. The death rate of ordinary people entering the copy was twice that of those with special abilities. It could be said that they had no ability to fight back at all.
From this perspective, the psychic saved his life by accident.
...Was it really a coincidence? No, could he predict when the black fog would arrive? I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.
Lin Du believes that he overreacted to this incident. He has been insisting on resisting the end of the world, trying to buy more breathing space for mankind and looking forward to the dawn coming soon. Therefore, when you encounter something that may change the status quo, you will feel a mixture of surprise and confusion. He had no idea whether this would be an opportunity or whether it would change the current situation.
"Don't mention this to anyone. The position of that person with special abilities is unclear. I am only guessing that he has two special abilities, and I cannot be sure. But I am sure that this person would not be unknown."
After giving the order, he asked Jin Nan to leave first, then he rubbed his sore temples with a wry smile, took off his glasses and sighed tiredly.
I'd better get some sleep first. My brain is flooded with information and speculations.
Just as I was about to get up and go to the lounge, a white scene appeared in front of me.
"?"
He subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, his slow-moving brain feeling a little numb.
wrong! He quickly picked up the piece of white paper and turned it over, and the casual handwriting on it caught his eye.
"Hello, I hope this letter does not make you feel presumptuous. I regret that we did not have the chance to talk last time. Therefore, I will arrive at the White Night Guild tomorrow. I hope you will not bother me^_^"
“…”
Lin Du stared at the paper, as if he wanted to poke two holes in it with his eyes.
The sleepiness that had gathered in him disappeared completely in an instant, and he felt his heart beating rapidly again, with unknown emotions rising.
He picked up his phone and clicked it. After a few seconds, the call was connected and Jin Nan's confused voice came: "President, what's wrong?"
"Come to my office."
"ah?"
——
"The president has been running around outside for so long, but he still has the energy to do this and that when he comes back. He is really a role model for our generation." An employee who was cleaning the desk said admiringly, feeling that he was not even as competitive as the leader, so how could he get a promotion and a raise! I'll be living in the union tomorrow!
Somehow, the president, who had finally returned home, did not choose to take a good rest to recover his strength, but instead asked his subordinates to clean up the office area, took out his treasured tea collection, and even took out a bottle of red wine just in case.
According to gossip, the president's face has never been so colorful, sometimes red, sometimes white, and I don't know if he was looking forward to it or something else.
Another person who was sorting through the documents also agreed: "These rumors are true or false, just listen for fun. The last time the Dawn Breakers came, there wasn't such a big scene. If it's higher up, it must be people sent by the government."
"Don't tell me... maybe it's true. By the way, do you want to work overtime with me tomorrow?"
"?"
