Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 376: Section 372 - Old Piao of the Han River



The members of Team 04 were all stunned. Holy shit...

One should never judge a book by its cover, just as one can't measure the depth of a whirlpool.

The elder sister looked toward the dumbfounded little Mauri sister in the middle of the crowd, her expression and gaze softening as she said, "Mouri Misono, when you first met him, he wanted to slap you. This is... undoubtedly true, you must be careful of this evil spirit in human skin!"

Having finished, she glared at Chen Fei with righteous indignation and interrogated, "Have I said anything wrong? Mr. Chen Fei, did you have that thought at the time? Please! Tell! The! Truth!"

Her expression said she would not tolerate any lies, the threat of an A-grade supernatural power user at full force.

The reason she lashed out so unceremoniously at this moment was to remind Team 04 that amongst them hid a person with ulterior motives, and they mustn't be deceived by the so-called harmless appearance.

So it's better to defuse the time bomb sooner rather than later, to avoid dragging everyone down with it.

"Uh! Yes, I do! I want to strangle you to death right now!"

Chen Fei unabashedly spoke the absolute truth, his face unchanged.

"Hmph!"

A torrent of evil intentions hit them in the face, met by the blonde sister's cold laugh.

In front of an A-grade psychic ability user, a mere B-grade had no right to resist, and could easily be slapped to death.

"Huh? Chen, did you really want to slap me at that time?"

Mouri Misono's face showed no fear or anger, only surprise and bewilderment.

"Sorry, my mind always uncontrollably comes up with some strange thoughts."

Chen Fei candidly pointed to his head and shrugged his shoulders.

He used to be a good baby!

"It seems Chen is also a gentle person!"

Mouri Misono's little face turned pink with a blush coloring her cheeks.

"Wait, what's with that expression?"

This time, it was the blonde sister from the original check-in station who suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the scene was somewhat off.

Not just Mouri Misono, but even the others from Team 04 appeared nonchalant, as if they hadn't heard her cruel exposure at all.

WTF?! What kind of reactions are these?

Shouldn't they be drawing lines and vehemently condemning and denouncing him, before kicking him out of the team? Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

How could there not even be a trace of a normal reaction!

"Eh? You don't blame me?"

Chen Fei, perplexed like a monk scratching his head, was unexpectedly in sync with the attitudes of the blonde who had exposed him.

Mouri Misono smiled gratefully and said, "I thought Chen would plan to chop off my head, but it turned out to be merely a slap. If Chen dislikes me, it's my fault, but Chen didn't intend to kill me!"

Twin Blades Sister wasn't two-faced; she was straightforward with her likes and dislikes, never hiding them.

Her usual way of expressing disdain was often by chopping off the other person's head.

So just getting slapped in the mouth was, in comparison, extremely gentle.

The deputy head of ground combat operations for Fuji Security Group in Africa was far from a saint. If anyone were fooled by her cute appearance, they'd likely end up with their heads rolling.

Chen Fei: "..."

This cute sister was far too gentle; he was somewhat unable to cope.

The blonde sister: "..."

"Tch! I thought it was some grave matter! Who here doesn't have blood on their hands or harbor dark thoughts in their mind?"

After widening her eyes, A-grade Metal Ability User Kiterley snorted dismissively.

This relatively pretty blonde girl must have stayed in Habulav too long and hasn't seen the truly dark side of human nature, making a fuss about someone wanting to slap another as if it were some grave issue. Ridiculous.

The large, dark-skinned Apu inhaled through his nose straightforwardly, "I've killed many people, does that make me a villain?"

Adrian, too, agreed with the others, "Intelligent Species are inherently both light and dark combined. Enlightenment and devilishness are just a thought away. Good and evil coexist and there are no purely good or purely evil beings. A multitude of thoughts in an instant is normal; you shouldn't solely focus on what's in the mind but rather, what actions ultimately transpire."

"Is Holy Light always just? Sorry, I never thought so!"

Holy Knight Walter Sam spread his arms, he was never an uptight man.

Waving the flag of justice while doing dirty deeds wasn't uncommon, and there were far too many examples to need mentioning. When encountering such hypocrites, there was no need for words, just a swift execution.

"Chen Fei is not a bad person!"

Even though Chen had blown up the remains of the Supreme Council of the Third Era Civilization, Neanderthal Chief Bassan still spoke bluntly and without reservation.

Now that it has become a filthy den of mutants, blowing it up might as well clean it all up.

On this point, the Clan Leader is pretty open-minded.

"You guys..."

The blonde elder sister was speechless as she looked at everyone.

"Team 04 is full of bad guys, huh!"

The puppet master Joshua wore a mischievous grin, clearly no good.

He was also an A-class psychic ability user, but his specialty was a bit different from that of the blonde elder sister. However, they both fell within the category of psychic abilities.

"Hehehe..." × 10!

A group of people shared a knowing smirk, all on the same page, moving in perfect synchrony.

It's fair to say that the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division" assessment was quite successful. It not only honed the individual and team abilities to handle a large number of mutants but also elevated their tacit understanding to a new level.

"I wish you a safe journey!"

The blonde elder sister stormed out and slammed the door in frustration.

"Huh..."

Chen Fei let out a sigh, shaking his head, "I thought I was the only abnormal one, but it turns out you guys are."

The behavior of everyone fully illustrated the unity of good and evil, scaring away the elder sister, and even Chen Fei felt the urge to run far away from these nuts.

"Without a touch of madness, one cannot survive. Our obsessions give us magic, battle qi, and special abilities, and they make our minds different from ordinary people. It's ridiculous to measure ability users by the standards of normal people."

Adrian Benjamin walked over and pat Chen Fei's shoulder.

Little Bird hopped over, fluttering its wings, pecking at his hand with its small sharp beak, asserting its sovereignty. Chen Fei's shoulder was its territory, and its integrity was not to be violated.

"What a cute little guy!"

With a physical attack power of zero, the Pure Light Sparrow's pecking was harmless, but Adrian's smile faded when he saw a frightening gleam in its beak and hastily withdrew his hand.

Damn!

He then remembered that this little thing was the real menace in Team 04!

The number of airships owned by the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee isn't small, but most are in flight around the world. Only about four or five are stationed on the Ocean Continent, each tasked with different flying missions, so it's impossible for the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division" to send each dispatch team directly to their destinations.

Thus, travel had to rely on civilian aviation channels, naturally, because the number of civilian aircraft far exceeds those of the Joint Defense Committee, with flights to all parts of the world.

The next day at noon, Team 04, each with their luggage, took a transport airship that flew back and forth between Habulav and Shepherd City. Then they boarded a civilian flight, traveling northward from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, a journey of 12 hours. At around 3 a.m., the direct flight finally landed at Mount Kumgang International Airport in the Goryeo Peninsula.

The civil airline tickets prepared for Team 04 by the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division" factored in rest time, allowing them a two-day stay in Mount Kumgang to, for example, adjust to the time difference, eat and drink, and briefly sightsee and have fun.

Chen Fei, who was already quite accustomed to air travel, didn't feel the hardship of the long flight. Although the stability and comfort of the civilian jet were somewhat inferior to those of large airships, they were still much more comfortable than the cockpit of the fighter jets he had once piloted.

After booking rooms in a hotel near the airport with the rest of Team 04, Chen Fei didn't stay long in his own room, instead, taking Xiao Jiu to the hotel entrance and hailing a driverless taxi straight to the train station.

It only took a fast train two hours from Mount Kumgang to Han River City, arriving in almost no time.

As soon as Chen Fei came out of Han River City's train station, he pulled out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, the call connected.

"Hello! Guess who?"

Chen Xiao'er, a troublemaker at heart, couldn't help engaging in such a cheesy act. His voice was loud, naturally drawing disdainful glances from the people around him. "Who's this guy, making a call so arrogantly? I feel like beating him up."

The urge to beat him up was limited to a mere thought, after all, no one had the resolve to act on it. Consciously, if the police were summoned, it would likely lead to nothing good.

"Eh? Chen Fei!!! Is that you? Haha, why did you think to call me, wait, let me guess..." The person on the other end hesitated for a moment, then burst into joyous exclamations: "You, are you in Han River?"

"Bingo! Just passing by, I thought I'd pop over to see you."

Chen Fei snapped his fingers and continued, "Where are you? I'm heading over now!"

Excited to see an old colleague again, Pu Aihua said eagerly, "No! I'll come to you. Where are you? Han River Airport? I'll come by car right away!"

"Seba, could you keep it down a bit? This is a hospital, not a marketplace!"

An inappropriate scolding came through the call.

"Hmm? Old Piao, you're at the hospital? Is someone sick? Never mind, I'll come to you. I'm just outside the train station, not long after leaving."

Before Chen Fei finished speaking, Little Bird on his shoulder also chirped.

Pu Aihua apologized, "The train station? Well, okay then! I'll send you the address, I'm really sorry!"

He then spoke with renewed enthusiasm, "Xiao Jiu is here too! Long time no see."
