Start Team Battle
As night falls, a gentle breeze blows, the moon rises, and fine, silvery sands drift down, casting swaying shadows of the trees.
Lin Chaoying and Jiang Chuan Gu were leaning back in their deck chairs in the yard when they saw Qian Fei returning from the backyard. They asked, "Is everything set up?"
Qian Feibi's "OK" gesture.
Before leaving, Kong Yue left several candles, which were lit in or at the door of Li Ming, Jiang Xu, Lin Lin, and Zhou Pei's rooms, to ensure that they would sleep more soundly and that even if they were woken up by noise, they would only think they were dreaming.
Qian Fei brought over a recliner and swayed back and forth, sighing, "Why is the boss so confident?"
Lin Chaoying turned her head and looked at her from her side, "Confident?"
Qian Fei nodded helplessly: "You said that all twelve streets of Xiangzhou were willing to send people to help, and he still doesn't want them?"
Lin Chaoying smiled and said, "Maybe they'll trust you more?"
"No," Qian Fei shook his head. "I think he wants to prove he's better than Qin Li, right?"
Lin Chaoying: "Brother Qin Ming? The person in charge of Yuzhou Twelfth Street?"
“That’s right!” Qian Fei’s eyes lit up when he spoke of him, his words filled with admiration. “Qin Li is the most powerful and talented superhuman among the younger generation of Twelfth Street. The key is that he is the youngest manager of Twelfth Street in Yuzhou!”
Lin Chaoying asked curiously, "Yuzhou?"
Qian Fei: "That's right! Yuzhou is the core gathering place for people with superpowers."
Lin Chaoying: "That sounds really impressive."
"Cough cough cough-" A coughing sound came, and Lin Chaoying turned her head. Behind her, Jiang Chuan Gu, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was lying on his side on a recliner, glancing at the ground, hugging his arms, and his face was red.
She sat up. "Jiang Chuan Gu? Are you cold?" she said, reaching out to touch his forehead. His body temperature was rather cool.
Jiang Chuan Gu remained silent, his drooping eyelashes fluttering, and shook his head.
Lin Chaoying grabbed his wrist again and squeezed his arm a few times. "Why don't you go back to your room? It's too cold here at night."
Jiangchuan Valley refused, saying, "It's alright."
Seeing his pitiful state, Lin Chaoying stood up and walked towards the room, saying, "I'll go get a blanket."
"Huh?" Qian Fei sat up, puzzled, and asked, "Is he alright? If he's cold, won't he go back by himself?"
Her gaze returned to the man not far away. After scrutinizing him from head to toe, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and silently complain, "He's cold, why didn't he take it himself..."
Jiang Chuan Gu raised his eyes, and Xia San Bai stared coldly at her, a faint but sharp glint in his eyes.
"Here it is." Lin Chaoying, carrying a blanket, tossed one to Qian Fei, placed one on Jiang Chuangu, and kept one for herself.
Unable to discern the relationship between the two, Qian Fei asked without a care in the world, "Lin Chaoying? Are you a fan of Jiang Chuan Gu?"
Lin Chaoying laughed out loud, "I guess I used to be one of his die-hard fans."
Jiang Chuangu obediently covered himself with the blanket and looked at her, saying, "Thank you." Lin Chaoying then smoothed out his curled-up ball.
Qian Fei frowned. He just couldn't stand this man. He was in his thirties and never spoke a word. He just followed behind Lin Chaoying, unable to lift a finger or carry anything. He was just pretending to be something he'd never do.
"By the way," Lin Chaoying instructed, "there really is some noise tonight. Don't act rashly, after all, Scarface is determined to kill you."
Qian Fei interjected, "He should actually sleep by the door; that would be a more effective bait."
Lin Chaoying: "Three people sleeping at the door?"
Qian Fei: "Your hearing is so good, let's sleep in the room together. If he has any problems, he can just call out from outside."
"Oh right!" she remembered something important. "The boss asked me to give you something before he left!" As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized, flat, round black wooden stick from her bag, then pressed the side and "whoosh-" a sharp knife the length of her forearm popped out.
Qian Fei explained, "The boss said this will save your life. You have quick reflexes and are stronger than ordinary people. When you fight, you can combine your superpower advantages and you might not be worse than anyone else."
Lin Chaoying didn't move, and asked, "Qin Ming wants to recruit me?"
Qian Fei, unaware of his intentions, said, "I don't know either."
She leaned to the side and said to Jiang Chuangu behind Lin Chaoying, "The boss said that Scarface is strong and your target is you. If a fight breaks out, you should run far away and find a shovel or stick to defend yourself."
Lin Chaoying looked around, feeling a little disheartened, and said, "If this really breaks out, will Qin Ming have to pay compensation for my house?"
After carefully explaining everything, Qian Fei lay down peacefully, propping his head up with his hands. "Jiazhou hasn't seen any supernatural murders or riots in fifty years..."
Lin Chaoying gazed at the moon, pondering repeatedly in her heart: what was the purpose of searching for this man who had lost both parents, had no relatives or friends, and whose life had been full of hardships?
Jiang Chuan Gu glanced at Lin Chao Ying's worried face, then closed his eyes with a relieved smile. He thought to himself, it had been six years since he last felt so peaceful and at ease.
The three of them fell into a deep sleep in the cold night wind, each harboring their own secrets.
In the morning, Zhou Pei stretched and walked unsteadily into the restaurant. She skillfully put on an apron and washed the pots and pans that she hadn't cleaned up the night before.
He thought the murder case would lead to a shutdown and rectification, but he didn't expect that the guesthouse would be almost fully booked now!
"Oh my god!" Linlin came out of the bedroom and saw three people sleeping soundly on a deck chair in the yard.
Lin Chaoying covered herself with a blanket, turned over, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep, ignoring everything else.
"Ring ring ring-" The phone vibrated and rang. Qian Fei didn't move, Jiang Chuangu didn't move, and Lin Chaoying was too lazy to move at all.
Seeing this, Linlin took three more sets of silk quilts, spread them on everyone, closed the window connecting the restaurant and the courtyard, and made a "shh" gesture to Zhou Peibi.
Zhou Pei joked, "Three people like this, so romantic?"
Linlin took out fresh ginger and brown sugar from the refrigerator and said, "You won't catch a cold after being exposed to the cold wind all night. Here, make some ginger and brown sugar water for them to drink in the morning."
"Zhou Pei," Jiang Xu's voice came from the stairwell, "Could you lend me and Li Ming your car today?"
Linlin quickly ran over and reminded them, "Shh—some people are still resting."
"Huh?" Jiang Xu followed the direction she was pointing. "The three of them have been sneaking around since yesterday."
Li Ming came downstairs. "Linlin, is that you? I'll pay the room fee."
"Okay!" Linlin ran to the front desk and turned on the computer.
Jiang Xu asked, "Li Ming? Are you leaving?"
Leon Lai: "Let's delay for a few more days. Today I'll go to the police station to retrieve my brother's body and get the death certificate. Mom and Dad are still waiting abroad..."
Linlin: "How many more days are you staying here?"
Dawn: "7 days."
Jiang Xu took out his phone: "I'll do it."
Li Ming pushed his phone away, "What are you doing at a time like this...?"
"Knock knock knock-" A knocking sound came from the gate of the courtyard.
Lin Chaoying opened her eyes instantly, sat up straight like a spring, and looked warily at the courtyard gate, gripping the dagger tightly in her hand.
She reached out and patted the people on either side of her awake, "Qian Fei! Jiang Chuangu! Get up!"
Linlin put down her mouse and said apologetically, "I'll go check the door."
"Go back! Don't open the door!" Lin Chaoying shouted sternly to the people at the guesthouse.
Qian Fei opened his eyes and cursed, "Damn it! They actually came during the day!" He used his telekinesis to close all the doors and windows of the guesthouse, locking the four people inside.
She quickly opened her phone and saw Qin Ming's message: [Chai Yan was brought back by Kong Yue; Scarface didn't appear.]
Jiang Chuan Gu threw off the blanket, picked up a long stick from beside the tree, and felt his blood boil at the thought that the murderer who killed Li Chao was at the door. His eyes were filled with barely suppressed rage.
Lin Chaoying closed her eyes, and the man at the door let out a light, disdainful laugh.
"Bang—" The courtyard gate shattered into pieces. A strong wind swept up fallen leaves and soil, stirring up the air. An invisible force rushed into the courtyard, and the three people were blinded by the sandstorm.
Qian Fei leaped up, darted onto a tree branch, manipulated the stone table to smash it down toward the door, and simultaneously jumped onto the courtyard wall.
The moment the stone table was shattered by the fist, Qian Fei used the momentum from the side to kick down hard at the joint of his outstretched arm, and there was a crisp "crack" sound of bones breaking.
The man grabbed her ankle and threw her into the yard.
Qian Fei tumbled uncontrollably in the air. Lin Chaoying rushed up and caught her, using her body to counteract the momentum. The two of them fell to the ground in the courtyard.
The man was tall, bald, with a horrific scar on his left cheek. He had a powerful physique, and with each step he took, dust rose from the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Chaoying thought, "This is a bit troublesome. Let's take Jiangchuan Valley back to the guesthouse."
"This is a bit of a problem." Qian Fei spat out a mouthful of blood. "Alright, the boss will be back soon anyway, let's just tough it out together."
Qian Fei turned his head and looked at the lock of the guesthouse. "Click-" The door opened wide, and Jiang Chuan Gu was slapped into the room by an invisible wind. The stick fell to the ground. "Click-" The lock was fastened again.
He panicked immediately, pounding on the door and shouting, "Lin Chaoying! Why did you lock me in here!"
Scarface stood in the yard, his throat as if it were dead, his voice low and menacing, "Just the two of you?"
With a wave of her hand, Qian Fei surrounded Scarface with shovels, a reclining chair, sticks, and stones. Taking advantage of the dust, she drew a soft knife from her waist and drifted behind him.
Lin Chaoying ran to the side of the house. Scarface used his fist to cut a path to escape. Just as Qian Fei aimed his long knife at his back and slashed down, and the man was about to dodge, Lin Chaoying closed her eyes. Her transparent soul rushed into Scarface's body and controlled his body to stand still without dodging.
Warm, scarlet blood splattered on Qian Fei's face. Lin Chaoying was squeezed out of her body and regained her senses in the blink of an eye. The virtual pain in her back made her keep breathing to regulate her breathing.
Scarface turned and kicked Qian Fei away. Realizing the other's superpower, he decided to deal with Lin Chaoying first and ran towards the corner of the wall.
"Bang—" The door of the guesthouse was smashed open by Jiang Chuan Gu, Li Ming and Jiang Xu working together.
Jiang Chuan Gu lifted the iron stool with one hand and smashed it down on his injured arm. Scarface dodged very quickly. Li Ming and Jiang Xu aimed at the back of his head, each hitting him with a stick.
Scarface wasn't human; he didn't feel any pain when injured and just kept charging around recklessly, even able to crush wood.
Qian Fei controlled all the sharp pieces of wood on the ground, piercing through his limbs and rendering him unable to move.
A very light, subtle breeze rustled through the air, quickly moving behind Qian Fei. Lin Chaoying shouted, "There's someone else, Qian Fei! Watch out behind you!"
Before Qian could react, her neck was suddenly gripped, and she was uncontrollably hoisted up. She struggled, unable to concentrate.
The restraints on Scar disappeared, and he saw the red birthmark behind Dawn's ear. "So it was you!" he said, turning over and getting up. He then noticed that Jiang Xu and Jiang Chuan Gu both had red birthmarks behind their ears.
After a two-second pause, Jiang Chuan Gu raised his hand and punched him in the eye, then took out a dagger and stabbed it into his injured arm.
Scarface started to retreat in pain. Dawn was skilled in fighting, and even though he was outmatched in strength, he managed to hold out for a few rounds. With the help of Jiang Chuan Gu and Jiang Xu, Scarface was unable to break free for a while.
Lin Chaoying followed the direction of the rope and found the figure of the man suspending Qian Fei. She closed her eyes, concentrated, and her soul left her body again, quickly flying into the sky, entering the man's body, and releasing the rope in her hand.
Qian Fei fell to the ground; due to losing control of his body, the man's body landed on the floor. Lin Chaoying was pushed out again, opening her eyes and regaining her senses.
Qian Fei lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Before he could recover, the flying man disappeared into the air again.
Lin Chaoying closed her eyes, quickly absorbing all the sounds around her, and finally pinpointed his location directly above the courtyard gate.
She helped Qian Fei up and asked in his ear, "Can you still use your telekinesis?"
Qian Fei nodded, "Don't worry, I won't die."
Lin Chaoying: "The flying creature is directly above us, around the 30th floor."
The knife on the ground thrust straight upwards. Lin Chaoying closed her eyes and commanded, "Left! Slash!"
The sound of clothes tearing and flesh being ripped came, and blood dripped from the air, sliding down Lin Chaoying's cheek like tears of blood.
More like spoils of war.
Suddenly, dampness accompanied by waves rushed into the courtyard, wrapping around Scarface's neck like a rope. Qin Ming moved with incredible speed, and no one could see clearly. Scarface's wrists and ankles were cut and bleeding.
With a clanging sound of metal, Scarface's hands were locked in shackles, and he collapsed to the ground, seemingly powerless.
