Chapter 1150 Is Anyone There

Looking at the figure gradually disappearing from view, Ji Nian lowered her head to glance at the dan pot in her hand, then turned and walked into the cabin.

“Chairwoman, are you going back to modify the car?” asked the knight waiting nearby.

“No, there’s something more important to do this time.” Ji Nian shook her head, “Have someone clear out the mobile [Block Room] in the cabin for me, I’ll be there shortly.”

“[Block Room]?”

The knight was stunned, “Alright, I understand.”

The knight turned and left, while Ji Nian returned to her room, removed her leather coat and boots, changed into a white scientific research robe, with a high-magnification monocle perched on the bridge of her nose, and headed to the [Block Room].

Ji Nian had just sat down at the table, about to begin doing something, when the knight quietly poked his head through the half-closed door.

“Chairwoman…”

“Didn’t I say that when I’m in the Block Room, don’t disturb me no matter what happens?” Ji Nian frowned and said coldly.

“No, Chairwoman, I haven’t closed the door yet, have I?” the knight smiled apologetically, “Besides, this time there really is an urgent matter…”

“Speak.”

“Three more people have flown out of the mist…”

“How did three more people come? Isn’t this the mist? Why does it feel like a marketplace?”

Ji Nian stood up from her seat in displeasure, “Who are these people? Which divine country are they from? What are they here for?”

“Chairwoman, you know these people,” the knight said seriously.

Ji Nian looked at him puzzled.

…

On the deck.

“Lin Qiye?”

Ji Nian walked onto the deck wearing a white robe, surprised to see a familiar face among the three.

“Ji Nian?” Lin Qiye also froze in place.

Lin Qiye and his two companions had followed the direction guided by the miracle, flying in the mist for a long time. Even when Lin Qiye’s spiritual power was almost drained by the [Somersault Cloud], they hadn’t seen any sign of Great Xia.

If Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception hadn’t discovered this pixel cruise ship sailing in the mist, they would have descended to the sea surface and summoned a caretaker to carry them forward.

“So it’s your Evil Society’s ship. I was wondering where such a luxurious cruise ship came from in this mist,” Lin Qiye looked around, unable to help but marvel, “Such a big ship, I’ve never seen one even in Great Xia…”

“I told you before that I’d have a chance to show you my cruise ship. I didn’t expect that without me inviting you, you’d come on your own… Who are these people?”

Ji Nian’s gaze fell on An Qingyu and Jiang Er who was floating in the air, her eyes full of curiosity.

“My teammates, An Qingyu and Jiang Er,” Lin Qiye introduced them briefly.

“Chairwoman of the Evil Society, I’ve long admired you,” An Qingyu smiled shyly and shook hands with Ji Nian. Jiang Er couldn’t touch her, so she just smiled and waved.

After exchanging greetings, Ji Nian looked at Lin Qiye, “How did you find your way here?”

“It’s a complicated story…”

“No worries, take your time. I’ll show you around the cruise ship first.” Ji Nian turned to instruct the knight, “Have someone prepare the dining room, I’ll take them to eat later.”

“Yes,” the knight respectfully replied.

The three followed Ji Nian, touring the cruise ship while briefly recounting their journey to the Heavenly Realm.

After hearing it all, Ji Nian’s expression visibly darkened.

“The K-system Divine Country?” Ji Nian looked at them and sighed, “It’s remarkable that you managed to escape…”

“Our most urgent task now is to return to Great Xia and report the situation to the Night Watchers and the Heavenly Court, to see if they can find a way to rescue Brother Zhuai.”

Ji Nian shook her head, “Based on what you’ve described, even if the gods of the Heavenly Court went, they couldn’t save your brother. He is merging with the Hell Origin, and unless he completely absorbs it, he cannot leave Hell. His life and death are solely in his own hands.”

After speaking, Ji Nian paused for a moment before continuing:

“However, I can help you send a message to Great Xia right now. Wait for me a moment.”

Ji Nian turned and walked into a cabin. A moment later, she returned with a pixel-style walkie-talkie in her hand.

“What is this?” An Qingyu stared at the walkie-talkie, curiosity appearing in his eyes.

“My special walkie-talkie, only two exist in the world,” Ji Nian waved the walkie-talkie, introducing it with one hand on her hip.

“It’s used to transmit information, not through traditional wave signals, but through pixelated special signals that can ignore this mist for ultra-long-distance communication. However, each use causes me great mental strain… One of these walkie-talkies is in my hand, and the other is with your Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan.”

“As long as I turn on this walkie-talkie, I can communicate across the sea with your Commander Ye… Isn’t that cool?”

The three looked at each other, all frozen in place.

Seeing no reaction from the three, Ji Nian raised an eyebrow, “Not impressive?”

“It is impressive, but…” Lin Qiye paused, “You probably won’t be able to contact Commander Ye anymore.”

“Why?” Ji Nian asked, puzzled.

“He sacrificed himself, more than two years ago.”

Ji Nian’s body suddenly trembled.

Her expression became somewhat dazed, as if she couldn’t understand Lin Qiye’s meaning. “Sacrificed…?”

“Yes.” Lin Qiye nodded, looking at her with complex emotions, “You… didn’t know?”

Ji Nian stared blankly at the pixel walkie-talkie in her hand, standing in place like a statue.

Although this walkie-talkie was remarkable, each use brought her tremendous mental burden. The last time she used this walkie-talkie was two years ago when Great Xia was invaded by the Egyptian Nine Pillar Gods, and Ye Fan asked for her help.

In a daze, Ji Nian seemed to recall what Ye Fan had said to her in the corridor before she left Great Xia:

“Ji Nian, let me ask one last time… can you not leave?”

“…”

“Never mind… if you really don’t plan to stay, you can go.”

At that time, Ji Nian hadn’t noticed anything unusual, just thought Ye Fan was acting a bit strange, but now thinking back, everything seemed to have been foreshadowed.

Ji Nian’s hand gripping the walkie-talkie tightened, her finger joints turning white.

She took a deep breath and said to the three, “You should remember where the dining room is, right?”

“We do.”

“I’ve already had dinner prepared for you, please go eat… I have something to attend to, I’ll come find you later.”

After speaking, Ji Nian pursed her lips and turned to walk into the depths of the cabin, leaving Lin Qiye and his companions to exchange silent glances and sigh deeply.

Inside the cabin.

Ji Nian strode into the room, locked the door behind her, and stood silently for a moment before sliding down against the door to sit on the cold pixel floor.

Her defiant eyes were extremely red, but she bit her lips tightly, not letting a single tear fall.

In the dead silence and darkness of the room, Ji Nian hugged her knees and slowly raised the pixel-style walkie-talkie…

She pressed the button.

“…Is anyone there?” Ji Nian’s voice was very small, as if afraid of disturbing someone, and her pronunciation trembled slightly.

After a long while, a voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie:

“Is that Chairwoman Ji Nian?”

“This is Zuo Qing…”
