Chapter 1372 – White Zephyr
Lin Qiye never expected to run into Rumination here.
As one of the three oldest “gods” of the Church of the Ancient God, Rumination gave Lin Qiye and the others the deepest impression, whether it was the existence of the [Believers], the taking away of Tugger, the prison robbery at the fasting center, or the Underworld Altar incident that directly led to the departure of Anta County, he was one of the biggest foes of the [Night Shade] team all the way through their growth.
However, the Rumination in front of Lin Qiye was clearly much more boyish than the ones they had encountered, looking no more than in his mid-twenties, yet he already had an elegant demeanor that didn’t fit his age between his hands and feet.
In this era, the ravings look like they are already in their twenties …… That is to say, the ravings they have seen are already at least sixty years old?
In Lin Qiye’s mind, he once again recalled the appearance of that elegant youth in a tuxedo ……
Worthy of being one of the three “gods” of the Church of the Ancient Gods, he really is an old monster.
”Enjoy your meal.”
The steaming bowl of noodles was brought up in front of Lin Qiye, who nodded and started eating the noodles as if nothing had happened.
Although Lin Qiye, who lowered his head to eat the noodles, didn’t look at the ravings at the opposite table anymore, he could feel that the other party’s gaze had been quietly hovering over him.
Lin Qiye’s gaze just now made Rumination notice a hint of something strange, but the childish Rumination didn’t take it too seriously, after all, he had only just become a member of the Church of the Ancient God, hadn’t even taken part in a couple of actions, hadn’t been in head-on clashes with any of the Vigilantes, and hadn’t even been on the Vigilantes’ Most Wanted list…….
He was just coming to the noodle shop to eat a noodle as an ordinary person, how could anyone possibly see through his identity?
Besides, the appearance of the 007 squad members, he has long been familiar with, this young man in front of him, is not one of them at all.
Thinking of this, Rumor’s heart was so determined that the sound he made while eating noodles was much louder.
In the old noodle shop, Lin Qiye and Rumination, who were separated by a table, silently buried their heads and ate noodles, their hearts in their mouths.
Finally, Rumination ate the noodles in the bowl cleanly, took out a few coins from her bosom, and placed them in order on the table.
”No need to look for them.” Raving wiped the corners of his mouth with a snow-white handkerchief and spoke lightly, as if what he was in wasn’t a noodle shop, but a high-end and elegant western restaurant.
Rumor gripped the black handbag by the table, got up, and headed out.
After Rumor left, Lin Qiye also stood up immediately afterward and pointed to the coins on the table across from him:
”I’m his friend, I’m counting the money for this bowl on him.”
As the words fell, without waiting for the boss to say more, Lin Qiye pushed the door and left, trailing behind Rumor.
Rumor crossed a few streets one after another and stopped in front of a kiosk in front of a factory.
”Make a phone call.” Rumor’s eyes fell on the desktop landline, casually lifted the microphone, and started dialing with a tick.
A few seconds later, the call was connected, but Rumor didn’t speak, instead snapping the microphone back with her backhand.
In the boss’s puzzled gaze, ravings pulled out two cents from his pocket, placed it on the table, and then turned to leave.
”…… Weirdo.” The boss looked oddly at the departing ravings and silently put away the two cents.
Just then, another young man wearing a lake blue production outfit, came to the landline.
”Excuse me, making a phone call.” Lin Qiye smiled and made a gesture to take the microphone, in the dead center of the boss’s vision, a bizarre shadow climbed up into his palm and
A red-eyed black pupil, quietly opened from his palm.
In the vision of the [black pupil], the time of the dialing landline quickly backtracked, and soon saw the few digits pressed by the previous ravings, gently closed his eyes, and disappeared without a trace.
A moment later, Lin Qiye let go of the palm holding the microphone.
”Forget it, no more calls.” Waving his hand, Lin Qiye raised his hand in the eyes of the boss who was about to curse his mother and left.
While tracking the ravings from afar, Lin Qiye reached out his hand and gently tapped the radio on his waist.
”Jiang’er, is it there?”
Intermittent disturbing sounds came out from the radio, “Rustling …… in.”
”I’ll give you a landline number, go check it out.” Lin Qiye quickly repeated the string of numbers he had just memorized.
”Okay, I’ll go now.”
”Shasha shasha …… Seven Nights?” An Qingyu’s voice came out from the radio.
”Qingyu, how are you doing there?”
”I went and searched through all the files of the Huaihai City Vigilante Squad over the past twenty years and found something interesting ……”
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, “What?”
”Do you know about [White Zephyr]?”
”[White Zephyr]?” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “What you’re talking about, is that divine beast that exists in the Great Xia legends?”
”That’s right.” An Qingyu continued, “Legend has it that the White Zephyr is a divine beast that symbolizes auspiciousness, with a gentle and kind nature, understanding all things and dedicated to punishing all the evils in the world, so whenever the White Zephyr appears, it heralds peace on one side ……”
”What does this have to do with this operation?”
”According to the Huaihai City Vigilant archives, five years ago, they discovered a ‘mysterious’, suspected white zephyr on the banks of the Huangpu River.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was slightly stunned, “A ‘Mystery’ that was birthed from the Great Summer Mythos? That’s quite rare ……”
According to Daxia’s exploratory analysis, “Mysteries” that were born in various parts of the world mostly came from countryside legends or folklore from different places, and the wider the spread of these legends, the stronger the corresponding “mystery”, such as the Pen Fairy, Snow Maiden, and so on, which are currently in Lin Qiye’s hospital, are all from the “Mysteries”. For example, the Pen Fairy and the Snow Maiden in Lin Qiye’s hospital are all from some widely spread legends.
Divine beasts that originated from Da Xia legends might have appeared in history, but so far, Lin Qiye had not seen them.
”But strangely enough, this file about the White Zephyr only records the process of meeting the White Zephyr, and how it followed up isn’t recorded …… It feels like it was partially erased.” An Qingyu paused, “Although I don’t know if this is related to this disaster, but it’s also a breakthrough, in a moment I’ll ask the members of Team 007.
If they really can’t trust me …… I can only use some special means.”
”…… Don’t overdo it.” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but remind.
”Don’t worry, I have my measure.”
The radio’s connection was disconnected, and Lin Qiye slid it back across his waist, just then, the distant ravings’ figure shifted and disappeared into an intricate alleyway.
Discovered?
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed and he quickly followed.
Rumination was wearing a suit and his figure was like a ghost as he traveled through the deserted alleyways.
His gaze glanced behind him from time to time, his brows slightly furrowed.
From the time he left the noodle shop, he vaguely felt that someone was following him behind him …… Although every time he turned around and tried, he didn’t find anything strange, but his intuition told him that it might not be so simple.
In any case, first make sure that no one is following behind him, and then continue to act!
As Rumor’s figure continued to traverse, there was still no figure appearing behind him, and just when he thought he was being overly concerned and was ready to leave on that note, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the alleyway in front of him!
Lin Qiye, who was wearing a lake blue production outfit, leaned against the grayish-white wall and was looking at him with a smile:
”Run? Where do you want to run to ah…… ravings?”
