Chapter 1112 – The Missing Zhou Ping
A golden aura streaked down from the sky and landed among the Le Tan Mountains, transforming into the figures of five people.
”Back ……,” An Qingyu looked around with the black coffin on her back and sighed, looking at the demeanor there seemed to be some regret.
”What, haven’t you stayed in the Heavenly Court long enough?” Lin Qiye laughed.
”Give me a little more time and I should be able to model the aura faster, now that I’m back in the mortal world without a reference, I’m afraid that manually calculating the model will take quite a bit of time.”
”……”
Lin Qiye ignored An Qingyu’s tirade, discerned the direction, and was about to leave when a crisp phone ring suddenly rang.
Lin Qiye subconsciously touched his body before remembering that he still kept his cell phone in Yaochi, he looked in the direction where the sound came from, An Qingyu pulled out her cell phone and answered the call:
”Hello?”
”……”
”Uh, this is An Qingyu.”
”……”
”Okay.”
Anqingyu hung up the phone.
”Who is it?”
”It’s from the headquarters side.” An Qingyu answered truthfully, “They said that they want us to go to the headquarters before we leave, and that Commander Zuo has something to say to us.”
”He knows where we’re going?”
Lin Qiye froze for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, technically speaking, the [Night Shade] squad was affiliated with the mortal world’s Night Watch forces, even the Heavenly Court didn’t have the right to directly mobilize them, since the Heavenly Father had directly asked them to follow Michael to fetch the stuff, more than likely he had already approached Commander Left’s side.
”Alright, let’s go for a walk then.”
In the middle of the inter-city, Lin Qiye and the others were not in a good position to use their abilities, and Michael’s spatial flickering seemed to be a bit too ostentatious, after hesitating, it was Shen Qingzhu who reached out her hand and pointed to a cab parked not far from the roadside.
”We can drive that.” Shen Qingzhu said, “That car, it’s now surnamed Baili.”
After listening to the explanation of An Qingyu and the others, Lin Qiye cried and laughed a little for a while, he quickly got into the car and sat in the driver’s seat, An Qingyu, Shen Qingzhu sat in the backseat at the same time, and loaded the coffin into the trunk, leaving only a passenger side for Michael.
At this moment, Michael, standing alone beside the cab, staring at the car door in front of him, motionless, seemingly pondering how this thing should be used.
”Get in the car.” Lin Qiye saw that Michael was standing outside the door, hesitant to move, and opened his mouth to remind him again.
Michael pondered for a moment and followed Lin Qiye’s and the others’ movements, grabbing the door handle and giving it a gentle tug.
Prick-la-!
The entire car door was torn open and clutched in his hands.
Seemingly noticing that his process wasn’t quite the same as Lin Qiye and the others, Michael frowned and expressionlessly sat in the passenger seat, and with a flash of golden aura from his right hand that clutched the door, the door was repaired intact as before.
”Let’s go.” Michael said faintly.
The breeze of the mountains brushed through the open windows, and the three people inside the car opened their mouths wide in shock ……
An hour later, the vehicle pulled up to the entrance of the Night’s Watch headquarters.
Lin Qiye stepped out of the car and led the crowd to the office of the Night’s Watch Commander-in-Chief and knocked on the door.
”Enter.”
Zuo Qing’s voice came from behind the door, and Lin Qiye pushed his way in.
Seeing Lin Qiye and the others who entered, Zuo Qing, who was in the middle of reviewing documents, raised an eyebrow, and when his gaze landed on the blonde-haired figure at the end, and met with those melting pot eyes, his mind trembled and he quickly averted his gaze.
He pondered for a moment, looking at Michael’s brow and nodding slightly:
”Welcome.”
Lin Qiye and the others knew clearly in their hearts that these two words were by no means addressed to themselves, so they didn’t open their mouths, and only after a while did the Michael behind them softly hmmm.
Zuo Qing was relieved in his heart and dropped his gaze on Lin Qiye’s body, “How’s the recovery?”
”Nothing serious.” Lin Qiye smiled.
Zuo Qing nodded, “The matter of the Zhen Guo Divine Tablet, thanks to you, fortunately you didn’t have any accidents, otherwise my Vigilantes will lose another great general …… Given your performance this time, a personal Star Ocean Medal is not running, the relevant formalities are still being processed here, there should be a result very soon, but now time is pressing. Urgent, let’s talk about business first.”
Zuo Qing took out a document from his desk and placed it on the desktop, his expression serious:
”Regarding your mission this time, the Heavenly Court side has already approached the headquarters, and I will personally issue it to you next, but some of the details of the mission involves mythological hidden secrets, even the Great Summer Gods and I are not clear on the details, specifically, you may have to ask that person.”
Lin Qiye and the others followed Zuo Qing’s gaze and simultaneously looked at Michael who stood silent at the end.
”Let me start with a brief explanation, your mission this time is to follow this person to retrieve an item.” Zuo Qing slowly spoke, “This item, is named [Ark of the Covenant].”
”[Ark of the Covenant]?” Hearing this name, Lin Qiye spoke in surprise, “It’s a cabinet?”
”Perhaps, we’re not sure what its original body actually looks like.” Zuo Qing glanced at Michael again and continued, “However, this item carries the secret treasure left behind by the Western Holy Sect’s creator god, Yelander, and is rumored to be hidden in the Western Holy Sect’s holy kingdom, your goal is to bring it back intact.”
Yelander?
Upon hearing these three words, Lin Qiye’s pupils shrunk slightly, instantly thinking of the sixth patient he had just released.
This time, the mission was actually to find the secret treasure he left behind?
”I see.” Lin Qiye nodded.
Although he didn’t know what this so-called [Ark of the Covenant] actually looked like or where it was, since it was something from the Western Holy Religion, Michael should know it best, and with him leading the way, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find the item.
”Other than that, there is another thing.” Zuo Qing spoke again, “This matter has nothing to do with the Great Summer God, but it is closely related to the Great Summer ……”
Zuo Qing paused and continued, “I hope that, as you guys enter the mists this time, you can look for Zhou Ping’s whereabouts in passing.”
”Sword Saint senior?!”
All the people present, except for Michael, stared wide-eyed.
”What happened to him?”
”After you guys disappeared from the mists earlier, Zhou Ping left Daxia to look for your traces.” Zuo Qing sat back in his office chair and spoke helplessly.
”In the beginning, he came back once a year. In the first year, he went to Asgard and didn’t find you guys; in the second year, he went to Sun City in Egypt and didn’t find you guys …… Counting the time, it has been more than almost half a year since he came back this year, and you guys yourselves have come back, but you still haven’t seen him.
I presume that he should have encountered something in the mist.
Now that the Total Divine War has been fought, the mist is full of crises and chaos, and if he stays overseas again, I’m afraid that there will be a change ……We Vigilantes now only have you guys [Night Curtain] with the ability to walk freely in the mist, and only you guys, you can find him and bring him back.”
