The east gradually brightens.
Lin Qiye sat beside Baili Pangpang's bed, glanced at the rising sun outside, and a haggard look appeared in his eyes.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter last night, Lin Qiye has been staying by Baili Pangpang's side, sinking his consciousness into the mental hospital in his mind, trying to find a way to wake up Baili Pangpang.
But neither Merlin nor Bragi knew the origin of the cushion, let alone how to wake up Baili Pangpang in this state.
As for Sun Wukong, Lin Qiye also asked about it, but there were too many things related to the cushion in the Daxia mythology. Before he saw the cushion with his own eyes, he could not be sure what the situation was.
After asking around, Lin Qiye found nothing.
It seems that I can only find someone to find a solution after returning to Daxia...
Lin Qiye glanced at the time on the wall. Today was the day he had an appointment with Furuhara Yoshiki. He would go to get the repaired [Zhanbai] back in the morning. In the evening, the other team members should meet up in Hokkaido, and then go back to the misty world through the ruins and return to Daxia together.
Now, An Qing, Yu Jiang'er, Cao Yuan and others should be ready to leave for Hokkaido.
Just as Lin Qiye was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Qiye could clearly see the figure outside the door, and doubt appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward and opened the door, only to see the knight standing behind the door with a hesitant look on his face.
"Sir Knight." Lin Qiye asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The knight opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his face was full of embarrassment...
After struggling for a long time, he finally said:
"There is something I have been thinking about all night, and I think I should tell you..."
"What?"
"Shen Qingzhu came to see me last night."
Shen Qingzhu?
Lin Qiye was stunned. "What does he want to ask you for?"
"He asked me to make a deal and asked me not to tell you, but I think this is a serious matter and I should tell you, the captain..."
"Deal? What deal?"
The knight took a deep breath and said slowly:
"He said that he wanted to exchange the head of an oracle for a thousand places to enter Utopia..."
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted.
One thousand places to enter Utopia...
At this moment, he roughly guessed what Shen Qingzhu wanted to do.
The underworld is regarded as a black sheep by the upper evil society and cannot be extradited into [Utopia]. This means that these underworld gangs in the "human circle" will have only one fate... that is, they will be buried forever along with this country.
And Shen Qingzhu wants to kill the Oracle in exchange for the chance to survive for these members of the Black Kill Group!
This matter was very risky, and it was a private matter for him as the leader of the Black Killing Group. He would not involve Lin Qiye and others in it, so he specifically asked the knight to keep it secret and drove alone to Tokyo overnight to hunt down the Oracle...
Is he crazy?!
Lin Qiye's mental power quickly swept across the entire vicinity of the club, but he did not find Shen Qingzhu. His face darkened slightly, and he turned to ask the knight, "What time did he come to see you last night?"
The knight thought for a moment, "About twelve?"
Lin Qiye checked the time again. It was now 9:30 in the morning. If he drove from here to Tokyo at full speed, it would only take about eleven hours...
Shen Qingzhu is almost in Tokyo!
…
Outside Tokyo.
A black coupe was speeding on the straight road!
Shen Qingzhu held the steering wheel with one hand and placed a cigarette on the car window with the other hand. His eyes were calmly gazing at the city looming in the distance, and he stepped on the accelerator to the lowest position.
Ding ding ding ding——!
A crisp cell phone ringtone rang out from his passenger seat.
Shen Qingzhu glanced at the passenger seat, hesitated for a moment, and then picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Brother Zha, are you crazy?" Lin Qiye's voice came from the phone.
"I'm not crazy." Shen Qingzhu said calmly, "Don't worry, I will be back after I kill an oracle."
"If you can't use the Forbidden Ruins, how can you confront the Oracle head-on?"
"I almost killed one myself before, didn't I?" Shen Qingzhu said calmly, "Last time when I faced the fire, I suffered because I didn't know he could still move after his soul was erased. I won't make the same mistake again this time."
"This is not a question of whether or not to make a mistake. The oracles are now in Tokyo looking for Yuri Kurozhe and Yuri Takishiro. Once you fight with one of them, the others will surely come at the first opportunity. You are no match for them. The risk is too great!"
"Risk?" Shen Qingzhu smiled. "All along the way, the thing I'm least afraid of is risk."
“…”
Lin Qiye was also choked for a moment.
Risks are commonplace for Shen Qingzhu, whether he is in Jinnan Mountain, undercover in "The Believer", or becoming a gangster legend in Japan... He relies on the courage to gamble, to fight, and to be extremely careful.
He is indeed not afraid of this so-called risk.
Moreover, Lin Qiye knew Zha Ge's temper. What he decided could not be changed by just a phone call.
"You are almost in Tokyo now, right?" Lin Qiye spoke again, "I won't persuade you to come back. I just want you to wait here for an hour, and I will come to help you right away..."
"This is my own business. I can handle it myself." Shen Qingzhu interrupted Lin Qiye directly.
"Don't worry, I will be back at the agreed time...Captain."
After he finished speaking, Shen Qingzhu hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Qiye to say anything else.
Two seconds later, the cell phone flew out of the window, hit the ground heavily in the howling wind, and broke into pieces.
Buzz——!!
The low engine hummed and the black coupe sped away and disappeared at the end of the road.
…
When Lin Qiye heard the busy tone from the other end of the phone, his brows immediately frowned.
Things turned out to be just as he thought...
Shen Qingzhu was determined and could not be stopped.
"What should we do now?" Jia Lan stood beside Lin Qiye and asked anxiously, "It's too dangerous for him to go to Tokyo alone..."
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, picked up his phone and dialed another number.
"Hello?"
"Qiye? I have already dealt with everything. After I blow up the entire [Pure Land], I will come to Hokkaido to meet up with you..." An Qingyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No, wait a minute." Lin Qiye said calmly.
An Qingyu paused, as if she had noticed that Lin Qiye's tone was not right, and asked sharply:
"What happened?"
"The plan needs to be changed." Lin Qiye took a deep breath and told An Qingyu what had happened.
An Qingyu fell silent.
"I see."
An Qingyu nodded. He walked to the French window and looked down at the city below. "What do you want to do?"
Lin Qiye paused for a moment, "I have a crazy plan..."
