Chapter 909 Whereabouts
Ningchang County.
By the coastline.
Among the charred ruins of the fishing village, dozens of members from the Nightwatcher’s logistics department were walking around with cameras and surveying equipment, carefully recording something.
Outside the yellow warning tape, Bai Li Pangpang, Cao Yuan, Shen Qingzhu, and Jiang Er stood silently by the shore, watching the white waves rolling in from the horizon, without saying a word.
“Why?” Bai Li Pangpang’s eyes were filled with anxiety, “The exploration work is almost done, why haven’t we found Seven Nights and Sister Jilan yet?”
“Don’t rush.” Shen Qingzhu said calmly with a cigarette in his mouth, “The deep-sea rescue team is still searching below, there should be results soon.”
“But they’ve already searched twice.”
“Then we’ll wait for them to search a third time.”
Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath and continued, “Right now, waiting is our only option.”
Bai Li Pangpang pressed his lips together, his eyes fixed on the sea surface, saying nothing.
Cao Yuan and Jiang Er stood nearby, their expressions equally grave.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several dark red figures shot out from the seabed, circled briefly in the sky, and landed steadily in front of the four.
They were the deep-sea rescue team sent by the Nightwatcher headquarters, all with water-related Prohibitions, possessing high mobility and perception abilities in the deep sea, a professional team for deep-sea missions.
“How did it go?!” Bai Li Pangpang anxiously asked when he saw them emerge.
The rescue team members exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.
“We’ve searched all the surrounding waters, but still haven’t found any trace of them…”
Bai Li Pangpang’s face visibly turned pale.
Just as he was about to say something, a jeep came speeding along the road!
With a screeching brake sound, the jeep stopped by the shore, and a long-haired man wearing a research coat and glasses stepped out, walking quickly towards them.
“Qingyu!”
Seeing this figure, everyone’s eyes lit up.
But soon, they noticed that the An Qingyu standing here now was somewhat different.
Long black hair, messy beard, unkempt face… compared to the once refined An Qingyu, he now looked like a wild man.
“Qingyu, what happened to you…” Jiang Er asked puzzledly.
“We’ll talk about that later.” An Qingyu’s gaze swept across the four, and seeing they were all unharmed, his worried heart finally relaxed, but he soon frowned again.
“Where are Seven Nights and Jilan?”
“…We haven’t found them.” Cao Yuan spoke bitterly, “We’ve searched the entire fishing village area, but still can’t find either of them.”
Bai Li Pangpang’s anxiety was almost overflowing from his eyes as he grabbed An Qingyu’s shoulders and couldn’t help asking: “Qingyu, what should we do?”
The erasing power of the time law first appeared from the sea, and they clearly remembered that Lin Seven Nights and Jilan had gone to the seabed… Although no one had mentioned this possibility, everyone had flashed through their minds the worst outcome.
They had been erased by the time law.
The expressions of all four except An Qingyu were unprecedentedly grim, even the usually calm Shen Qingzhu’s eyes flickered with worry.
An Qingyu’s gaze swept over them, and after a moment of silence, not only did he not panic, but a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
“What are you worried about? Worried that they’ve been erased by time?” An Qingyu shook his head, “Actually, not finding them is a good thing.”
The four were stunned.
“Don’t forget, Seven Nights was with Jilan, if the time law really erased them first, with Jilan’s [Immortality], at least one of them would have survived…
And now, neither of them can be found, which means they likely encountered some other incident at the bottom of the sea and disappeared from here.
Although we don’t know where they went, there’s still a high probability they’re alive.”
After hearing An Qingyu’s analysis, the others’ eyes gradually brightened, hope rekindling in them.
“So that’s it.” Bai Li Pangpang let out a long breath, patting his chest, “You scared me… So what should we do next? Expand the search area?”
All eyes turned to An Qingyu again.
Seeing everyone’s emotions had been calmed, An Qingyu pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering with light.
“No, searching like this is too slow, let’s return to headquarters and find someone else…”
“Great! Let’s go!”
Before An Qingyu could finish, Bai Li Pangpang was the first to rush to the jeep, quickly fastening his seatbelt, then turned his head and waved at his companions still standing there: “What are you waiting for? Get in the car!”
The others quickly came to their senses and rushed to the jeep.
They had absolute faith in their vice-captain An Qingyu. Since he said returning to headquarters could help find Lin Seven Nights, there was no hesitation, they just needed to follow through with maximum efficiency.
An Qingyu walked behind everyone, smiled helplessly, and also got into the jeep.
Without Lin Seven Nights’ cloud somersault or a dragon to ride, and Bai Li Pangpang’s [Yaoguang] couldn’t carry so many people at once, they could only go to the nearest military base to take a plane back to Beijing.
Fortunately, Jiang Er’s coffin could be placed directly in the trunk, and one jeep could just fit the four of them, with Bai Li Pangpang driving, Cao Yuan in the passenger seat, and Shen Qingzhu sitting in the back with An Qingyu.
The jeep sped away on the highway.
…
Knock knock knock!
“Come in.”
Lu Wuwei, wearing a yellow uniform, opened the office door and walked up to Zuo Qing.
“Why did you call me here so urgently?” Lu Wuwei asked puzzledly.
Zuo Qing stood up and spoke seriously, “I want to ask you to find someone.”
Hearing these words, Lu Wuwei raised an eyebrow, “Is it Wang Mian again? I’ve tried many times… my Prohibition can’t find him.”
“You couldn’t find him before because he didn’t exist in this time.” Zuo Qing explained seriously, “Now that the fishing village’s loop has been broken, your Prohibition can take effect.”
Lu Wuwei was stunned.
He took out an unfilled delivery receipt from his pocket, grabbed a pen from the desk, and quickly wrote “Wang Mian” in the customer name field.
He held the receipt between his fingers and sensed for a moment.
“Indeed… I can sense his general location now.” Lu Wuwei nodded, immediately put on his helmet that was placed aside, and walked towards the office door.
“Wait!” Zuo Qing called out to him.
“What is it?”
“Try to find Lin Seven Nights too.”
Lu Wuwei hesitated for a moment, took out a second receipt, and followed the same process by writing Lin Seven Nights’ name, after sensing for a moment, he opened his eyes in surprise.
“Did you find him?” Zuo Qing asked worriedly.
“Yes.” Lu Wuwei nodded, “Both of them are in the same direction.”
