Two Domains?
"It's over."
The Musician slowly stood up. Regarding the fate of that car and the three people inside, he didn't seem to have the slightest surprise.
"This is Wolf Hunter 3, this is Wolf Hunter 3... Please reply if received."
"I hear you."
"Confirming communication restored."
"I've killed the people for you... Next, clean it up yourselves."
"Received, visually confirmed target has been waist-cut, approaching target now..."
The densely packed convoy and the swarm of armed helicopters covering the sky swarmed past The Musician, simultaneously driving towards the sports car that had been cut in half.
Suddenly, a burst of inexplicably bizarre aura abruptly erupted behind him!
"... Huh?"
The Musician frowned, looking back.
"This is Wolf Hunter 3... We... This..."
"What's going on? What happened?" Under the cover of the convoy, The Musician couldn't clearly see what was happening in the distance at all.
"That car... in the blink of an eye, it became completely intact?!"
"What??"
The Musician froze. Disbelievingly, he grabbed an off-road vehicle driving past nearby, nimbly flipped onto the roof, and looked into the distance towards that direction!
Only to see that at the end of the horizon, a red sports car was speeding intact towards the urban area!!
"How is this possible???" The Musician's eyes widened. "It was clearly already cut in half... Moreover, who is driving that car?"
"It's still those three people."
The voice on the other side of the Walkie-talkie paused for a moment, seemingly equally finding it hard to accept, "They... they're all alive?"
"???"
...
Buzz buzz buzz—
Inside the roaring sports car.
"Are they crazy??" Lu Xun looked out the window, his pupils reflecting the shattered earth and the flying dust, speaking in a deep voice,
"This degree of destruction... It looks like they don't plan on leaving us a way out."
Yang Xiao similarly furrowed his brows tightly,
"They even deployed missiles, is there a need??"
The familiar dialogue replayed by his ears. Chen Ling, who was driving, only felt an incomparable headache...
Strange...
Why does it seem like I've heard this dialogue before?
What happened just now... I always feel like, something's not quite right?
Chen Ling felt as if he had forgotten something, but his head also throbbed with splitting pain, weak as if his Spiritual Power had been overdrawn, completely unable to remember... At this moment, all his attention was on that road leading to the urban area. Regardless of anything else, he gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and the car advanced at full speed amidst roars!
Just like this, he broke through the Domain, and also broke out of the uncompleted encirclement. Along the modernized road full of streetlights, he plunged headlong into the turbulent flow of the city.
...
"This is Wolf Hunter 3... Confirmed all targets have resurrected, and entered the urban area range."
"Immediately terminate the convoy and armed encirclement! Deactivate all large-scale lethal hot weapons, cannot attract public attention, and absolutely cannot trigger casualties!"
"Then what do we do? Do we just let that thing drill into the city?"
"The high-Rank 'White Hand' from the surrounding three provinces are all rushing towards Shanghai. Many of them have already arrived within the urban area. They will continue to complete the encirclement and suppression mission... It's just that the format will change from encirclement to assassination.
Under this inescapable net, he cannot escape."
"Received."
After receiving the order, all the armed helicopters stagnated in the air, and then flew off in a direction away from the urban area. The convoy carrying a large number of personnel also turned halfway, disappearing at the end of the horizon.
On the devastated earth, only The Musician was left alone, frowning as he looked at the direction Chen Ling left.
"Just now... that was a Domain?"
"No, that's not right... If it was a Domain... then it wasn't complete enough... Moreover, the Domain he used just now wasn't this one either, right?"
"In this world, could it be that someone can actually have two Domains??"
...
After the roaring sports car drilled into the city limits and merged into the rolling flow of traffic, Lu Xun and Yang Xiao's hanging hearts finally settled down.
"They shouldn't be able to chase us here, right?"
"It's hard to say... If they're really dead set on killing me, even if they don't use those modern weapons, there will be other ways." Chen Ling looked back at the direction of the Wilderness under the night sky, his face incomparably grave.
He turned the steering wheel and directly drilled into the nearest underground parking garage. While turning off all surveillance equipment, he began to [Reshape] the vehicle's appearance.
"By the way, did you two feel something wrong just now?" Chen Ling couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just... it's like the world blacked out? No, it should be said... the plot was tampered with?"
Lu Xun and Yang Xiao exchanged a glance, seemingly unable to understand what Chen Ling was saying.
"Haven't we been chased all along?" Yang Xiao recalled and said. "That flock of planes was shooting missiles overwhelmingly, and then Director Chen, you took action and shot them down. Then we broke out of the encirclement all the way here."
"Then how did the earth just now become like that?"
"This... perhaps it was the result of the missiles?"
Chen Ling didn't answer. He always felt as if he had forgotten some very important thing. Moreover, why his Spiritual Power was instantly overdrawn was also a question.
Chen Ling consecutively drilled into three different underground parking garages, changing the vehicle's appearance and license plates three times. Ultimately, what drove out of the underground garage had already turned into an old Wuling Hongguang.
"You two can't follow me anymore." Chen Ling said seriously.
"Since they want to make a move against me, there will probably be an endless stream of killing moves later... There's no need for you two to be dragged into this. Leave quickly before they find me."
Neither Lu Xun nor Yang Xiao were stupid; they immediately understood Chen Ling's meaning. Their own safety was indeed one aspect, but more importantly, both of their Ranks were currently insufficient. Moving together with Chen Ling might only become a burden.
"Understood." Lu Xun nodded slightly. "Then we'll find a place to hide first. When the dust settles, we'll come find you again."
"Alright."
"And also... regarding the payment, you haven't mentioned it." Lu Xun seemed to remember something and spoke suddenly.
Lu Xun wanted to entrust Chen Ling to protect the other Nine Monarchs, and also said he would provide payment. Moreover, Chen Ling had just risked danger to save him from Director Zheng's hands; this favor was also remembered in his heart.
"Payment..." Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, how much money do you need? Or, do you need us to do something for you?"
"It's actually very simple, I only have one request." Chen Ling slowly extended one finger. "Dr. Lu, I want to know some intelligence."
"Intelligence regarding what?"
"Regarding you."
"... Me?"
"For example..." Chen Ling paused for a moment. "If... I mean if, if in the future, you were to use your knowledge of Astrophysics to build a city... in your heart, what should it be like?"
