[Notification: You have a new email!]
Wang Xuefeng opened his eyes, and the cool moonlight shone on the headboard.
At this moment, his left pupil was black, while his right pupil was red. He could see the world of color and the world of perspective at the same time, as if a widescreen had been split in two and viewed simultaneously...
This ability is not lethal, but it is more useful than lethality.
He quickly skimmed through the emails.
After a while, he closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.
It wasn't until dawn, when the dew on the maple leaves was blown onto the windowpane by the wind, that the sound of sparrows became an alarm clock.
Xiao He was awakened by the aroma of dumplings.
Before she even opened her eyes, she began to feel her way in the direction from which the fragrance was coming.
"Get up, you have a task today!"
Wang Xuefeng came over carrying a plate of hot dumplings.
Xiao He opened his eyes groggily and instinctively reached out to grab it.
"Rinse your mouth, wash your face and hands before you eat." Wang Xuefeng held the plate high, deliberately preventing her from touching it.
"..." She could only groan in complaint.
"Today's mission is to rescue Jia Bo. Aning is going to cry if she doesn't see her father again." Wang Xuefeng has a very efficient way of dealing with Xiao He's "difficulty getting up in the morning".
Upon hearing this, the latter's spirits lifted.
She quickly sat up and scooped up a few mouthfuls of water from the washbasin on the high stool next to the bed.
"Glug glug... Pfft—"
Rinse your mouth, wash your face, wash your hands—all in one smooth motion.
"Are you sure? Is there anything else I need to be careful about?" she asked while wiping her face.
"There are many things to be aware of, but we need to assess the size of the enemy before making any decisions."
"good!"
-
Southeast of the continent of Nuojin.
This is the most complex terrain on the entire continent.
There are mountains thousands of meters high and valleys thousands of meters deep; there are lush forests and barren deserts.
This area is rich in mineral resources, but they are extremely difficult to mine.
Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng, still cloaked in their ghostly robes, traversed the forest as the sun rose.
"Our destination is just ahead."
"Be careful."
The two figures vanished in a flash, and no one knew where they went...
"clang!"
"clang!"
"clang……"
The sound of hammering echoed through the quiet valley.
A burly man, over two meters tall, held a red-hot iron hammer in one hand and pressed down on a thick iron chain with the other. The sound of hammering came from here.
Jia Bo was locked in an iron cage, his hair a mess like a chicken coop.
For the past few months, he has been trying to talk to that man, but to no avail.
The man was like a deaf man, oblivious to everything around him, focused solely on pounding on the iron chain.
Jia Bo's food and water were almost gone, and he had never provided a meal or a drop of water.
"Is this considered murder?"
"Damn it... there's no signal here, otherwise I could call home..."
He angrily drew a line on the iron cage with a pebble, marking the passing of another day.
...
"How about it?"
"There really is only one person guarding it."
Who is it?
"It's not clear yet."
"What are the general characteristics?"
"The man was tall and strong, around forty years old, and was hammering an iron chain."
Where is Jia Bo?
“They are displayed in the temple like offerings.”
"What kind of iron chain is that?"
"One end of the iron chain is like a ship's anchor, and the other end is inserted into the ground, extending all the way down into the earth."
Can you see what's tied up there?
"I can't see it; it's already too far away."
"So deep?!" Xiao He finally turned his head in surprise.
"Mm." Wang Xuefeng nodded slightly.
Before long, he secretly took pictures of the mysterious man's appearance with his reconnaissance plane, then opened his laptop and matched the information Yang Xing had sent the night before.
Feature overlap: 89%
Match result: Annie Gray
[Target Status: Death]
"Death?" Xiao He was taken aback, then immediately realized what he meant.
That's a "living dead puppet".
“Ani Gray…so he’s here.” Xiao He murmured, “He’s definitely connected to the Bluebird.”
“This man is no match for the Bluebird at all, so it’s normal for him to be controlled,” Wang Xuefeng explained. “The power of the Gray family’s bloodline is mysterious and unpredictable, and can even be traced back to the Genesis era. However, it has faded over the years, and the chance of it being awakened is extremely slim.”
"But in the end, he still awakened it, didn't he?" Xiao He asked.
"Maybe." Wang Xuefeng didn't immediately confirm.
"Then what he's doing now...?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.
"It's unclear at the moment."
"Hey, I suddenly have an idea."
What are your thoughts?
"Let's change into our fifth-grade school uniforms and go say hello to him," Xiao He said, narrowing his eyes.
After a moment, Wang Xuefeng nodded: "Okay!"
He picked up the things on the ground and changed clothes with Xiao He with one click.
Two badges, both bearing the number "five," were pinned to the left chests of the two men, gleaming brightly in the sunlight...
"Clang! Clang!"
The blacksmith's gaze remained fixed straight ahead.
On the contrary, Jia Bo, who was in the cage, saw the two flying towards him from afar.
"clang!"
Ani's eyes narrowed, and before he could even raise his head, he swung the iron hammer in his hand.
However, just as he finally saw the two men's badges, he paused, and the hammer stopped too.
A gust of wind blew past Xiao He and his companion, but it did not cause any harm.
