Chapter 271: Chaos in Odessa (18)
Soon after Link was found by Xiao Yan, Zhang Dongqiang, a sailor who went to sea, also heard back from the sea. The incident in Hepu Town has come to an end for the time being.
There are still no clues in the case of the missing college students. Although neither their families nor the police gave up their search efforts, Xiao Yan knew that after the period for declaring them disappeared expired, they would be legally declared dead.
The tragedy of Heart of the Ocean shocked the world, not only because of the sheer number of casualties, but also because so many of the dead came from noble families. One international investigation team after another was sent to Goryeo to participate in the investigation, and even Xiao Yan was questioned several times afterwards.
However, more than ninety percent of the crew, including the captain, went missing, more than 80 percent of the passengers died, and many important sailing records disappeared without a trace, and the investigation immediately reached a deadlock.
The only thing that can be determined is a report from the underwater survey team that the Heart of the Ocean has been knocked through a large hole in the middle of its hull, from where the sea water poured in, causing the ship to tilt. Because the damaged area was too large, the watertight door did not block the large amount of seawater from pouring in. The tens of thousands of tons of luxury cruise ship finally broke into two under the weight of the seawater, and the last scene Xiao Yan and they saw appeared.
In modern society, such a tragedy is simply beyond the realm of common sense, and the focus of the investigation can be expected to shift to the missing crew members.
"I wonder what they're going to find?" Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead and leaned against the pillar next to the arrival exit of the airport. Ever since he left the last world, he would have headaches from time to time.
"Flight MU-5232 has arrived."
"Hey!" Xiao Yan perked up all of a sudden, ran into the nearby bathroom, washed his face and tidied up his clothes.
Today is the day when Wang Xijun came to the magic capital. The girl was confined to her home for a month after the shipwreck, and was not allowed to go anywhere except school and home, and she was only released this morning.
Originally, Xiao Yan wanted to go to the imperial capital to find her, but Wang Xijun had just been freed, and he had to come out to breathe through everything, so the two made an appointment to meet here.
"Yo! I'm out of prison! The girl wore a long black trench coat and high boots, and a crimson cashmere scarf, the color scheme was very impactful, and clearly outlined her tall and perfect figure. Her waist-length hair swayed happily from side to side, drawing all the eyes around her to her.
"Well~ It's really good, you and others are not the same style of painting at all." Xiao Yan naturally took the luggage and praised it.
"Humph!" Wang Xijun raised his chin proudly, "It's suffocating me." Do you know? My parents are afraid that I will appear~ Well, what's it called~ Oh yes, post-disaster trauma syndrome, people have been watching me for a whole month! I'm going crazy! The hair is all blown up! ”
The cheerful tone and the charming fragrance on the girl's long hair made Xiao Yan feel so good that she was almost in heaven. Before he could figure out whether to hold the girl's hand, Wang Xijun hugged his arm.
"Quick! Hurry up and let's go surf! ”
……
"What were you going to tell me before?" After a day of playing, Wang Xijun asked while licking the chocolate cone in his hand.
The two of them followed the riverside trail and passed through the trees sprinkled with the afterglow of the setting sun. The rustle of the leaves in the breeze is heard, and the golden ginkgo leaves and the grass underfoot smell are intoxicating.
"Hmm~" Xiao Yan stopped, thinking about something very seriously.
The slightly cold air penetrated into the nostrils with the characteristic smell of southern winter. Wang Xijun felt a strange excitement in his heart, as if he suddenly understood something, pricked up his ears, and instinctively felt that the boy next to him wanted to talk to him about something very important.
Wait a minute...... No way...... Do you want to be here? The girl's mind raced.
Xiao Yan looked up at the ginkgo above his head, his expression was serious and very firm. Wang Xijun, who had strengthened his perception, keenly noticed that he was making up his mind about something very important. Feeling the boy's steady and soothing breathing, Wang Xijun suddenly realized that the ultimate reading was almost finished!
"Isn't it...... I...... I wasn't mentally prepared. Wang Xijun opened his eyes wide and licked another big mouthful of ice cream.
"Well~ It's not completely unprepared~ Although this guy is sometimes evil, he is a good person and looks good." The girl muttered inwardly, rubbing her long hair with her fingers and turning her head away in embarrassment.
"When he was on the Heart of the Sea, was he already preparing to confess to me? It really scared me when he hugged me, but luckily he didn't have a chance to continue, otherwise I wouldn't know how to pick it up! ”
Wang Xijun lowered his eyes and looked at the cone in his hand, and then looked at Xiao Yan thoughtfully, "It's almost ready to brew." If he would ...... to me in a moment Hmm~ It's not that I can't promise him. But if he dares to take advantage of the fact that no one is around to go too far, I'll use this cone to make him face! ”
"Hey, this chocolate is so mellow and silky! There are so many left, it's a waste to throw them all on his face~" The girl hurried up and quickly licked two more bites.
"The power of the individual is limited." Xiao Yan, who was looking at the leaves in a daze, suddenly thought about something, turned his head and said to the girl.
"Huh?" Wang Xijun was eating a mouth full of chocolate, and subconsciously raised her head, and then she felt that she was so stupid, so she quickly wiped her mouth.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't care, "Personal power is really limited~ I have learned one thing from my experience during this time, even if I do everything I can do and everything goes well, I will still be planted in a situation that I didn't expect...... Mortals are so powerless in this world. ”
Your routine is different from what I thought...... Wang Xijun was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that what big move is next?" ”
"Xiao Yan, what do you want to say?" Wang Xijun clenched the remaining half of the cone, so nervous that his mind went blank.
"I want to go beyond this mortal skin! Wang Xijun! Xiao Yan held up a sparkling silver ring.
Yes...... What the...... Ring?
Wang Xijun, who was completely empty, took a step back in fright.
No, isn't it...... Is it all there is to it? What about confession? What about the first kiss?!
"This is the real-life form of the Minoan Bone Ring I obtained in the first world." Xiao Yan played with the ring in his hand, "As my strength increases, some of these abilities can even be used without attracting the attention of the will of the plane. ”
What the heck...... You're fooling me! Wang Xijun was pulled back from his delusion.
"I used his power to get out of trouble when I was shipwrecked, and after a recent attempt, I was able to use his telekinetic power to choke an animal's throat through the air."
"Huh? How so! The girl's willow eyebrows were raised, and she began to brew emotions and prepare to beat the guy in front of her.
"And one of the most critical abilities can even tear through the barriers of the plane and summon designated creatures." Xiao Yan put the ring on his finger, "For the sake of future plans, I decided to test it." It would be nice to have your help. ”
"Hmph~" Wang Xijun snorted coldly in his eyes. See if I don't cut you wood for firewood.
"Alright, since there's no one here, let's get started." Xiao Yan happily gathered his spiritual energy, completely oblivious to Wang Xijun's eyes sweeping over a wooden stick.
……
"By the order of the master of the Minoan Ring, I will cross the gate of time and space and bring my companions from another world to me."
As Xiao Yan's right hand slashed, there were ripples in the air, and then violent fluctuations tore open a gap, and a figure appeared in front of the two.
Wang Xijun was taken aback, and subconsciously made a defensive posture.
As a dazzling red light flashed, a familiar figure appeared in front of the two of them.
"This ......" Valkyrie, who was eating a piece of chongyang cake in the kitchen, suddenly heard a whisper in his ear, and then dizzily passed through a strange passage, and two acquaintances appeared in front of him with a brush, so frightened that she fell to the ground and immediately picked it up in pain.
"It's ...... What's the situation? The two girls rubbed their eyes, thinking they were dreaming.
"It worked! Hmm~ You may not know the situation yet, but it's almost time, we can go to dinner first and talk while eating! Xiao Yan was proud.
The summoning spell is a great success!
