Chapter 706: Capturing Wei Dong

Lin Qiye’s eyes gradually brightened.

He had long suspected that the “Japan” he was in was not the real Japan, because a hundred years ago, Japan had been shrouded in mist, an unchangeable fact. As for what this “Japan” truly was, he still did not have a definite answer.

But if his guess was correct, then through this relic, he could return to the misty world, and thus return to the Great Xia!

This was indeed an unexpected delight.

At that moment, a large group of figures approached Lin Qiye.

Nearly forty individuals dressed in deep blue caretaker uniforms, their species varied, resembled a gang swaggering towards him. Leading the group was A Zhu, who walked with his chest out, dragging a burlap sack behind him. Despite his small stature, he exuded a strong presence.

“Director, I’ve brought the person back!” A Zhu said with a confident smile. “We gave him a good beating, took away all his weapons, and now he’s very obedient.”

After saying this, the raccoon beside him handed Lin Qiye a functional backpack, a sniper rifle, a handgun, and two short knives.

Lin Qiye picked up the sniper rifle and toyed with it for a moment before putting it down. He then picked up the pixel-style handgun, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

“This gun… why is it like this?”

He raised his hand and randomly fired a shot at the wall beside him. The bullet exploded upon hitting the wall, creating a burst of pixelated flames, and then the entire wall disintegrated into pixels and vanished.

Lin Qiye’s pupils constricted.

He looked down at the toy-like handgun in his hand, his expression becoming serious.

Forbidden item?

Who exactly was he?

Lin Qiye walked over to the burlap sack and opened it, revealing a young man with a bruised face lying inside, his eyes tightly shut, already unconscious.

One must say, the people from the dining department had been relatively restrained; at least he wasn’t missing any limbs, and his injuries were all superficial, not too severe. However, his face… was indeed swollen to the point that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.

“Well done, you worked hard.” Lin Qiye patted A Zhu’s head. “Go back and cook.”

“Goodbye, Director!”

The caretakers all bowed simultaneously, and with a flash of magical light, they disappeared from the spot. The street was once again empty, leaving only Lin Qiye, Ayumi Seihui, and the unconscious Wei Dong.

Having so many people to help was indeed a good thing, but their presence was also a significant mental burden for Lin Qiye. While it was fine to be active outside for a short time, if it lasted too long, it would instead drain his energy.

“What do you plan to do with him?” Ayumi Seihui asked as she walked up to Lin Qiye.

“Let’s take him with us. Once he wakes up, we can interrogate him and see if we can get anything out of him.” Lin Qiye glanced at the pixel handgun and the sniper rifle. “Anyone who can find this place and possesses these items definitely isn’t an ordinary person.”

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye stuffed the unconscious Wei Dong back into the burlap sack, tied the opening shut with a rope, and dragged it along as he moved forward.

“By the way, what do you think this is?” Ayumi Seihui found a pixel-style watch from the backpack.

Lin Qiye took the watch, and the screen displayed a radar-like detection map, marked with several flashing red triangles and a deep blue dot that pulsed steadily in a certain direction.

Lin Qiye identified the positions of the red triangles and, after pondering for a moment, said, “These triangles should be infrared alarm devices he set up. But what about this deep blue dot… what does it signify?”

This mysterious person had entered the relic long before Lin Qiye and his companion, having ample time to explore the area. The fact that he deliberately marked this location—what did it represent?

What was there in this place?

Lin Qiye followed the position of the blue dot on the watch and found that it pointed directly to the source of the faint blue light scattered in the sky, though it was still quite a distance away.

“We’ve explored this area quite a bit; let’s check out the location marked on this watch. We might find something unexpected.” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment before making his decision.

Ayumi Seihui naturally had no objections; he absolutely trusted Lin Qiye’s judgment.

The two walked in the direction of the blue dot for quite a while, and the remnants of the city around them grew fewer. Instead, the ground and sky were increasingly littered with rocks, seaweed, and the remains of large fish. The faint blue light in the sky floated like silk, dreamy and mysterious.

Suddenly, the burlap sack Lin Qiye was dragging moved slightly.

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow and stopped in his tracks.

“It seems someone is about to wake up…” Ayumi Seihui said, watching the burlap sack that was gradually struggling.

Lin Qiye dropped the sack on the ground, untied the rope, and before he could see the figure inside, a flash of cold light suddenly shot out from the sack, aimed directly at Lin Qiye’s throat.

It was a spike hidden in a ring!

“Eh?”

Lin Qiye let out a soft sound. His terrifying dynamic vision had already seen through the movement, and he slightly tilted his head to evade the attack, then seized the person’s wrist and twisted it forcefully!

Crack—!

With a crisp sound, Wei Dong’s wrist was already broken. He gritted his teeth in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead, yet he remained silent.

After being knocked unconscious by the mysterious group from Great Xia, he had lost consciousness, unaware of why he was in the burlap sack or who was dragging him. Fortunately, his combat experience was quite rich; he had intended to gain the upper hand through this method, but he never expected to be directly countered.

Lin Qiye released Wei Dong’s hand, removed the ring, and squatted in front of the bruised Wei Dong, speaking slowly in Japanese:

“Not bad, who are you?”

Wei Dong’s face was extremely pale, but his eyes remained cold as he stared at Lin Qiye, showing no intention of answering.

Not going to speak?

Lin Qiye was not surprised by this.

He calmly lifted the pixel watch and waved it in front of him. “What does this blue dot on it mark?”

Seeing the watch in Lin Qiye’s hand, Wei Dong’s pupils constricted. This subtle change in expression was captured by Lin Qiye, further confirming his judgment that this place was very important.

“Are you the masters of the Hozu Blade? What do you want to do here?”

Wei Dong did not answer Lin Qiye’s question but instead turned it around, trying to divert their attention.

Lin Qiye naturally would not fall for this trick. He glanced at Wei Dong, slowly stood up from the ground, held the watch in his hand, and smiled slightly at him.

“It’s fine if you don’t tell me. Once we get there, you’ll naturally know…”

Lin Qiye gave Ayumi Seihui a look.

“Having him with us is a burden; just kill him.” Lin Qiye saidlightly.

Ayumi Seihui understood Lin Qiye’s meaning, slowly walked up to Wei Dong, placed a hand on the hilt of his sword, and slowly drew out the 【Yubeng】…
