Chapter 1365 Li Kengqiang
“What’s wrong?”
“Let’s not talk about other things first. When we were on the beach, I already scanned the entire island with my mental power and found no traces of any life, nor any power generation devices.” Lin Qiye bent down and picked up a section of decayed and broken electrical wire from the ground. “Then… where is the electricity coming from?”
Everyone looked at the half wire in Lin Qiye’s hand and fell silent.
The rhythmic jazz music, accompanied by dreamy flickering lights, pushed the ballroom’s atmosphere to a climax. Tall women in cheongsams with black hair and mature, refined men in suits held each other in the dance floor, dancing elegantly and passionately, seemingly completely unaware of Lin Qiye and his group’s presence.
Just as Lin Qiye and his team were about to take action, a figure in the dance floor glanced at the entrance and smiled slightly.
It was a young man wearing a floral shirt and bell-bottom pants. He gently lowered the black toad sunglasses on his nose, winked flirtatiously at the slender woman in his arms, then smiled and released her slim waist, naturally gliding across the dance floor to stand firmly in the center.
With a wave of his hand, a vintage standing microphone appeared before him. He gripped the microphone with both hands, leaning his back slightly backward, chin raised, looking toward Lin Qiye and his group, shouting loudly:
“New friends! How are you doing?!”
[Night Curtain Team: ???
“What the hell is this,” Baili Pangpang couldn’t help but mutter.
“Qiye, he seems to be calling us. Should we respond or not?”
“…Let’s wait.” Lin Qiye’s expression was extremely strange. “This person seems to have mental issues. I’m not sure, let me observe a bit more…”
While Lin Qiye and his team were whispering, the figure wearing toad sunglasses passionately shouted into the microphone again:
“Good! Let’s welcome with applause… the [Night Curtain] team!!”
The lights overhead suddenly brightened, and everyone in the dance floor stopped moving, smiling and applauding toward Lin Qiye and his team. The applause was thunderous.
Lin Qiye and his team were completely dumbfounded.
Even Lin Qiye, who had killed “Mysteries,” slain deities, and experienced countless life-and-death crises, momentarily questioned reality in this bizarre situation.
Amid the continuous applause, Baili Pangpang hesitated for a moment, then tentatively extended his hand…
“Ahem… um… hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well!”
Lin Qiye’s brows slightly furrowed. He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and walked directly toward the center of the dance floor.
His deep red cape appeared like a pool of blood under the bright lights. The men and women surrounding the dance floor immediately made way for Lin Qiye, retreating to both sides.
Lin Qiye stood firm in the center of the dance floor. He frowned at the young man wearing toad sunglasses with a faint smile on his lips and spoke solemnly:
“I am Lin Qiye, captain of the [Night Curtain] team. May I ask… who exactly are you?”
“Tsk, are all young people from your era so straightforward?”
The young man sighed, waving his hand lightly. The jazz music in the dance floor abruptly stopped. Simultaneously, the men and women crowded on both sides flickered and vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.
The young man extended his hand and spoke unhurriedly:
“My name is Li Qingqiang.”
Li Qingqiang?
This name flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind, giving him a strange sense of familiarity… and that face, he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
While Lin Qiye was desperately trying to recall, he unconsciously grasped Li Qingqiang’s outstretched hand. At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He remembered!
Li Qingqiang!
The second Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watchers! Li Qingqiang!
In the corridors of the Night Watchers headquarters, Lin Qiye had seen his profile. After the first Commander-in-Chief Nie Jinshan passed away, he had led the Night Watchers for nine years and was one of the earliest human powerhouses!
But… how could this be possible?
Lin Qiye quickly released the young man’s hand, his eyes fixed sharply on the other’s eyes.
“You’re lying to me,” Lin Qiye said coldly. “Commander Li Qingqiang died in battle more than fifty years ago. How could he possibly appear here? Who… are you really?”
Thud—!
A light flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes as he suddenly raised his right foot and stomped heavily on the floating brick!
An invisible domain instantly expanded. The magnificent ballroom suddenly flickered like a malfunctioning color TV.
The floating brick beneath Lin Qiye’s foot quickly receded like a tide, revealing a dusty and uneven cement floor. At the same time, the elegant crystal chandelier above his head transformed into an old light bulb with half of it broken.
[Terminus King’s Law]!
From the beginning, Lin Qiye had felt something was wrong with this place. After the young man appeared, he became even more convinced that this was all an illusion. If he wasn’t mistaken, everything here was created by this young man’s Forbidden Domain ability.
Since it was a Forbidden Domain ability, the [Terminus King’s Law], which could forcibly subjugate Forbidden Domains, would naturally take effect.
As Lin Qiye expected, with the deployment of [Terminus King’s Law], the surrounding environment immediately revealed flaws. However, even with Lin Qiye using his full strength, he could only dispel a small area around himself, unable to completely counter the other’s Forbidden Domain.
This meant that whoever this young man was, his strength far exceeded Lin Qiye’s… he was at least a human powerhouse.
Seeing Lin Qiye forcibly tear open a corner of the Forbidden Domain, the young man let out a surprised sound.
“Interesting… no wonder even the big brother praised you young people.”
Lin Qiye was about to speak, but seeing that the young man’s appearance hadn’t changed at all under his [Terminus King’s Law], he suddenly froze.
According to his theory, if everything around them was created by this young man, then he must have also used this method to disguise himself as Li Qingqiang… but strangely, under the [Terminus King’s Law], his appearance didn’t revert to its original form.
This was his original appearance.
“How is this possible…” Lin Qiye shook his head. “Who exactly are you?”
“I told you, I’m Li Qingqiang.” Li Qingqiang helplessly spread his hands. “You young people, why won’t you believe me… Your name is Lin Qiye, first place in the 21st Night Watchers Recruit Training Camp, former member of Team 136, current captain of the [Night Curtain] team. Behind you are Deputy Captain An Qingyu, Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, Jiang Er… Currently, one team member is asleep, and another’s whereabouts are unknown.
It was that kid Zuo Qing who sent you here, right?”
Seeing Li Qingqiang report the details of [Night Curtain] so thoroughly, and even mention Zuo Qing’s name, Lin Qiye was bewildered…
Now it was basically certain that this young man was indeed someone from the Night Watchers.
Could it be… he really was Commander Li Qingqiang?
But how could a dead person be standing here talking to them?
Seemingly aware of Lin Qiye and his team’s confusion, Li Qingqiang shrugged, “It seems that unless I broaden your horizons, you won’t believe me…”
Li Qingqiang narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers forcefully!
Boom—!!
The ground beneath everyone’s feet violently shook. A surging torrent of national fortune rose to the sky, like the head of a golden dragon, roaring toward the heavens!
Li Qingqiang stood at the foot of this golden dragon of national fortune, his floral shirt fluttering in the wind.
He pushed the toad sunglasses on his nose and said with a smile:
“Welcome to… the [Hero Spirit] team’s base.”
