Chapter 406 - 406 Before Leaving
Then, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan returned to Green Spirit City.
Due to the destruction in Canglong City, the flow of people in Green Spirit City increased.
The two of them finally returned to their home after many twists and turns. When Lu Benwei opened the door, Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin immediately came up to him.
!!
“You two, why did you go to Canglong City without a word? You haven’t even graduated and are already participating in the rescue mission. If something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to Little Yan’s parents?”
Lu Benwei lowered his head in the face of the two’s accusations.
Chu Yan stood up and helped Lu Benwei out. “Uncle, Aunty, I was the one who dragged Lu Benwei along.”
“That won’t do either. It’s too dangerous. Fortunately, you’re all fine! Otherwise, how do you think we can reason with you?” Lu Dayong said with a frown.
Chu Yan and Lu Benwei smiled awkwardly.
“Mom, Dad!”
“Uncle, Aunty, we won’t do it again.”
…
It was late at night. There was an old church in an unknown forest in the Dragon Kingdom.
Today and tomorrow were not the weekend, so the priest and nun should be asleep. However, the place was still brightly lit.
On the stone walls on both sides of the church, the candlelight elongated the shadows of the people sitting on the seats.
There were eight people in golden masks on each side of the seats. On one side sat seven to eight people wearing silver masks.
At the entrance of the church, many followers were standing there.
In the empty area on the stage, a man in a black-white robe stood straight. The eyes under the hat were staring at the people kneeling in front of him.
They were Nine Fingers, the woman in the clown mask, and the man in the clown mask.
Compared to Nine Fingers and the woman in the clown mask, who were trembling, the man in the clown mask was looking back and forth with a playful expression.
“Oh, even the shadows are here. How lively!” the man in the clown mask said casually.
“J, shut up! You have no right to speak now!” the black-white-robed man said. His voice had been processed by the computer, so no one could hear the emotion in his tone.
The clown-masked man’s codename in the God Welcoming Association was J, and the black-robed man was obviously his superior.
Hearing the black-robed man’s words, J immediately lowered his head and stared at the black-white-robed man’s shoes.
“Everyone’s here, let’s start!” the black-white-robed man said, and the rather noisy church instantly fell silent.
“Now, let me summarize the failures of the revival of the Divine Child!
“Nine Fingers, you go first.”
Under the Nine Finger’s golden mask, his facial muscles twitched slightly. At this moment, he was cursing in his heart. He did not know how his plan had failed!
“I’m not too sure.” Nine Fingers scratched his head, and his tone was very conflicted.
“I followed the original plan and broke the seal on the path to the starry sky, but the Heavenly Sea Army’s actions were too fast. Although this is also part of the plan, if the Heavenly Sea Army comes, we can rely on the oracle to stall for time. However, the oracle was injured after fighting them.
“How do you explain the Divine Child embryo and Ten Fingers?” the black-white-robed man asked.
When Nine Fingers heard this, he cursed in his heart. ‘Wasn’t my meaning clear enough? I wasn’t even there, how would I know?’
“Such a perfect plan, yet you and Ten Fingers can’t even carry it out. What are you doing?”
The sound of the electric current was filled with anger.
Nine Fingers’ body trembled, and he was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe.
“You’re really trash!” the black-white-robed man shouted coldly. It was not hard to hear that he was very angry.
One of the important leaders had been captured, and the Divine Child embryo was missing. How could he not be angry?
“Enough, this has nothing to do with Nine Fingers!”
A person slowly stood up. He was tall and wore a woolen tunic suit. Under the silver mask, he revealed a refined and easy-going aura.
“It’s Seagull. Tell me about the situation.”
This man’s code name was named after an animal. To be precise, this group of silver-masked men was all named after animals.
“It’s a child named Lu Benwei and a child named Chu Yan,” Seagull said slowly.
“J, K, why don’t you two talk?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on J and K. J was the man in the clown mask, and K was the woman in the clown mask.
“In the third part of our plan, which was the attack on Qingling City, our plan was disrupted by these two people,” K said.
“Later, we wanted to find information about Lu Benwei and Chu Yan through Seagull. In the end, we returned empty-handed. The identity of that little girl named Chu Yan is very mysterious.”
K swallowed and continued, “Then, I personally led people to test Lu Benwei and Chu Yan’s strength. Although Lu Benwei is only a level-49 magician, he has unparalleled power. He can shake a level-55 opponent!”
Immediately, there was a lot of discussion in the church, and the candlelight danced as if it was going to be extinguished by the wind.
J added, “According to the information I found, our purpose was also exposed by Lu Benwei and Chu Yan. Otherwise, Tang Wei wouldn’t have returned to the Heavenly Sea Army so early. It’s impossible for the Law Enforcement Bureau to destroy our nest.”
As soon as he said that, the noise in the church became louder.
“These two people are too terrifying. We must get rid of them!”
“That’s right. He’s only at level 49, and he’s able to shake up level 55. Even the oracle was severely injured by him. We have to get rid of him.”
“But according to our current intelligence, he seems to be in control of the Divine Child embryo. What if he comes to a life-and-death struggle?”
The crowd was noisy, but only a few people remained unmoved. Their expressions were cold, and some even had a hint of mockery.
...
They were Five Fingers and above, and there were some shadows of silver masks.
“Seagull, tell me what else you know!” the black-white-robed man continued to ask.
Seagull paused and pondered for a moment before saying, “As far as I know, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan are both students from Zhejiang Hunter University. And the Divine Child embryo is most likely still in their hands!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the church began to clamor again.
“Zhejiang Hunter University, isn’t that easy? Lead the elites to Zhejiang Hunter University. Or find out the family background of Lu Benwei and Chu Yan and kidnap their parents! We must retrieve the Divine Child embryo.”
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew in the church, and a crow barged in. It first circled the church for a while, then landed on a candle stand.
“The divine messenger has ordered we must ensure the safety of the Divine Child embryo!”
