Chapter 1606 Chloe’s Whereabouts
Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu returned to the cabin, where Wu Quan had been waiting for some time.
“Brother Qingzhu, I killed that ‘mysterious one’ and took control of its body!” Wu Quan’s eyes lit up when he saw the two return, his tone carrying a hint of showing off.
“Hmm, well done.” Shen Qingzhu patted his head with a slight smile.
Lin Qiye sat down and continued asking:
“You just said the situation is complicated?”
“He found Chloe’s location, but some other forces have blocked off that area, making it impossible to see her in person.”
“Other forces…” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “Olympus?”
At this time overseas, there should only be Olympus as a divine nation, and Lin Qiye could only think of the Greek gods being able to block access to Chloe.
“No, not a divine nation.” Shen Qingzhu shook his head, “It seems to be an organization called the [Holy Judgment Knights].”
“[Holy Judgment Knights]?”
Hearing this name, Lin Qiye felt it sounded familiar. After thinking carefully for a while, he finally remembered where he had heard of this organization.
Back when he first captured Bell Clande, he heard it describe the scene in the mist, and the reason it fled all the way to Da Xia was because of the [Holy Judgment Knights]’ pursuit. At that time, Lin Qiye was quite shocked to learn that humans existed in the mist.
“Did they capture Chloe? Is she still alive?”
“She should still be alive. If the search target had died, Mr. Lu would know.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head toward the corner of the cabin, speaking to what appeared to be empty space: “This knights order, do you know anything about them?”
“Who are you talking to?” Wu Quan was startled seeing Lin Qiye talking to the air, thinking his mental illness was acting up again.
Before Lin Qiye could answer, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in the corner of the cabin, and a figure wearing a wide hood materialized, standing ghost-like just three meters away from everyone.
The moment they saw this figure, Wu Quan and Shen Qingzhu’s pupils contracted simultaneously!
This figure had been hiding so close to them, yet they hadn’t noticed until now. Wu Quan’s reaction was understandable, but Shen Qingzhu had been confident in his own abilities. The figure’s appearance made his hair stand on end.
“Don’t worry, this is the Ancestral God.” Lin Qiye quickly explained as he saw divine power erupting from Shen Qingzhu’s body.
“Ancestral God? What’s that?”
“…I’ll explain later.”
Number 27 crossed his arms, looking at Lin Qiye with surprise, “How did you discover me? You shouldn’t have your Forbidden Domain anymore.”
“Intuition.” Lin Qiye smiled, “After the battle with [Chaos] in the Celestial Court, I didn’t see you. You wanted to find someone but couldn’t stay with the God of Da Xia all the time, so I guessed you might have been following me.”
“You guessed correctly.” Number 27 slowly spoke, “The [Holy Judgment Knights]… I’ve never heard of them either.”
“Do you know why they would kidnap Chloe? What’s special about her?”
Number 27’s brows furrowed under his hood. After thinking for a moment, he said gravely:
“I don’t believe anyone in this world could kidnap her.”
“Why?”
“She’s powerful.” Number 27 spoke solemnly, “As long as she uses her power properly, she is the embodiment of ‘omnipotence.’ Neither humans nor gods could forcibly kidnap or imprison her.”
“You mean… she’s staying with the knights voluntarily?”
Number 27 lowered his head, lost in thought.
After a long while, he looked up and asked Shen Qingzhu: “Where is this knights order?”
“Mr. Lu marked it on a map and sent an electronic copy, it’s on Qiye’s phone.”
Lin Qiye opened his phone and looked. Just as Bell Clande had described earlier, the knights order was located near London.
“Give me the map, I’ll go find her. This way, our contract will be fulfilled.” Number 27 extended his hand to Lin Qiye.
“No, we’re going too.”
“You’re going too? Aren’t you very busy?”
“There are some things I want to ask her.” In Lin Qiye’s mind, the face of that little boy appeared again, along with those two Han Dynasty files he didn’t have access to.
Over the past ten days, he had called Zuo Qing to ask about those files, but Zuo Qing had always been vague, seemingly unwilling to reveal much. Since that was the case, Lin Qiye had to find clues himself.
He had a feeling that this girl named Chloe must be connected to the mysterious little boy inside him…
“Besides, we don’t need to ride electric scooters. By boat, we can get there in about two or three days, and the round trip won’t take too long.” Lin Qiye took out his phone, “Wait a moment, I’ll make a few calls to arrange a ship.”
Lin Qiye turned and left the cabin, returning quickly a few minutes later.
“To Chenlong Pass,” he told the pilot.
The plane carrying the four of them quickly took off, disappearing into the eastern horizon.
…
Da Xia.
Commander-in-Chief’s office.
Zuo Qing hung up the phone and looked at the gray sky outside, sighing helplessly.
“So he went after all… Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.”
After sitting alone in his office chair for a moment, Zuo Qing stood up and walked out, passing through the busy corridors, taking the elevator directly to the floor where the archives were located.
This floor had almost no people. He walked through the dusty metal shelves and finally stopped in front of a dim wall.
He gently wiped the corner of the wall, and patterns lit up across its surface. With a soft click, a silver box with a high-tech appearance automatically popped out. A light scanned his eyes, and a cold electronic voice announced:
“Highest authority verification passed.”
As the wall opened, Zuo Qing stepped inside to find a clean, narrow secret room. In the center of this room stood a solitary metal shelf filled with numerous files.
This was the archive room that only those with the highest Nightwatcher authority could access, and in the corner of this metal shelf lay a parchment scroll from the Han Dynasty.
Zuo Qing took down this parchment scroll, then retrieved another file from the top layer of the metal shelf. He walked to the desk in the corner of the secret room, turned on the lamp, and opened both files simultaneously, turning to a specific page.
In these two different files, the same term appeared. Zuo Qing’s gaze lingered on a term marked in red, his brows slightly furrowed…
—[Holy Covenant]
Zuo Qing’s fingertips rubbed against the file as he murmured, “[Holy Covenant], what exactly is it…”
