Very faintly, a baby's giggle echoed from all directions.
The laughter seemed to be coming from the corners, but it also seemed to be from the puppet itself. It was inexplicably eerie!
Chapter 917 - The Plane That Landed On The Train
Helian Wei Wei reached out and dragged the two little ones to her side.
Such a skin-crawling phenomenon sparked an astonishment in the eyes of those wealthy merchants.
The power of the unknown is simply bewildering.
Miraculous, simply miraculous!
No wonder Sixth Brother has cornered the market all these years. It turns out that the public's discussion is true. With a master that can control everything in his palms, he need not worry about not making a lot of money!
The wealthy merchants exchanged glances and gestured a thumbs-up at Sixth Brother.
Sixth Brother puffed on a cigar in amus.e.m.e.nt and said arrogantly, "Wait for it. Soon enough this rookie will know what regret feels like. She's just an ordinary police officer with some knowledge of Taoist art. And yet, she dares to fight me? She must be asking for death!"
At that moment, Sixth Brother solemnly envisioned the death of Helian Wei Wei and her boys!
After all, no one could flee from the master's tactical formation. It was different from the time when they used Chinese talismans against the people. It's a true battle this time!
Ninth Ghost Mother continued to eye on Little Qingchen as if he was her ultimate goal.
Gradually and slowly, a black fog began to materialize from the surroundings.
Its scent was different from that of demons when they emerged.
Instead, the black fog was filled with hues of a foul bloodstain.
Then, an indistinctive demonic spirit leaped out from the puppet's body.
It was a child less than four, dressed in a deathly-white mourning garment, with an ashen complexion and a scarlet tongue dangling by the corner of its lips. It was no way an adorable toddler. Instead, it was viciously grim and filled with an eerie aura.
When the rays of light on the train shone through its tiny body, it froze for a moment. Soon enough, the child gurgled happily, as if it had smelled something tasty. All of a sudden, its pupils shrunk into needle-like forms. As it turned its head, it pounced directly at Baili Shang Xie and Helian Qingchen!
Helian Wei Wei's action was swifter than the child's. At the twist of her body, she immediately shielded them from its attack.
She did not need any tactical formation, neither was there a need for her to chant. Instead, she grinned and pulled out a scythe.
Her Phoenix's Bone Scythe could slay all demons in the world.
Not to mention a little demon that resembled a vengeful infant.
Amid the dazzling splendor, the child demon's body seemed to have dissolved under a bone spell and disappeared into thin air.
As for Baili Shang Xie and Helian Qingchen, none of them were affected. Especially the latter, whose cool petite face was filled with mockery toward these human beings.
Everyone was dumbfounded and so was the Ninth Ghost Mother. The puppet on the ground cracked into fine lines, as the splits on its body became deeper, spreading like a cobweb across the entire doll. Then, with a loud smash, it shattered into pieces on the floor!
Sixth Brother's eyes widened as he asked, "Master, what's going on here?"
Commoners could not tell that Helian Wei Wei was holding onto a Phoenix Bone Scythe.
Everyone except Ninth Ghost Mother could see, but she could not recognize such a blade. As she looked at Helian Wei Wei, she asked vigilantly. "Who on earth are you?"
"Don't you think it's a little too late to ask about me now?" Helian Wei Wei paced toward Ninth Ghost Mother and with every step forward, the blade in her hand gleamed each time.
"I've already made it clear from the start that I didn't want to be enemies with anyone. I only wanted a child for myself. It was you who started this." Ninth Ghost Mother's eyes narrowed.
Helian Wei Wei chuckled. "You're right. You've never been enemies with anyone, but I'd like to ask you this, have you ever asked for permission before stealing their children and making them yours? In our world, only worthless sc.u.mbags would do such a thing. What makes your nature any different from theirs?"
After hearing those words, Ninth Ghost Mother's face turned into a scowl as she growled, "What makes you think you can criticize me? You're just a human being. I've just given you leeway and yet you don't appreciate it. Very well then, let's see how you're going to die!"
At the fall of her words, an aura that was sharper than a knife and more evil than a demon erupted and flooded the entire train carriage in fury!
Helian Wei Wei's swiftly moved her palm, causing an unfamiliar cyclone to gradually gather at the core of her palm.
However, at this moment…
"Boom!"
A loud rattle came from beyond the carriage's window.
They could sense something heavy pressing against the roof of the train.
Next, they could hear the vibrating propellers of a flying plane.
Apart from Ninth Ghost Mother who had no clue of the situation, Helian Wei Wei also leaned her head slightly.
She only ordered Monkey and the others to make a police report about child-trafficking on the train when she managed to rescue her second child.
Based on the current situation, it seemed like it was not part of the other party's plan either.
"What's going on outside?!" Sixth Brother was getting more impatient and did not expect so much trouble would come his way. He tugged on his closest subordinate, "Why did the train stop? Hey! I am asking you what the heck is going on? Where is the train conductor? Get him over here!"
"Sixth… Sixth Master!" a person scurried from across. "Someone… someone just… just landed a plane on top of the train carriage. It's a private…private jet."
Sixth Brother swung a slap across his face and bellowed, "It's just a private jet and you're overreacting like this? It's not like it's the Interpol!"
"Wait! Everyone, look! What is that?!" A wealthy merchant stretched his arm and pointed his trembling finger at the seemingly ink-black night sky.
Outside the train was swamped with flying… black crows, countless black crows!
Baili Shang Xie witnessed the scene and as he linked it with the previous loud rattle, he knew who had arrived.
Instead, Sixth Brother snickered, "I'd like to see who has the guts to land his private jet on my territory. Everything must be raided. Everyone, go up to the roof!"
The wealthy merchants did not dare to go, they really did not want to fish in troubled waters.
Helian Wei Wei remained still because she knew that it would not take too long for Sixth Brother to roll back. Dispatching such a large amount of crows must be the work of a pure-blooded and high-ranking demon.
This kind of demon was more powerful than Ninth Ghost Mother, making it suitable to take down Sixth Brother.
However, no matter how powerful one was, if he did not consider the feelings of children but only women, he would be considered a sc.u.mbag under normal circ.u.mstances…
Swoosh!
The train's door was manually flung open. Sixth Brother's subordinates were rushing upward, one after another to the roof.
On top of the train was a private jet, with its propellers spinning away. The moment someone pulled open the hatch door, Baili Jia Jue ambled from the jet in his perfectly straight legs, pure black suit, and quick-silvered loose hair. Every part revealed how noble he was...
Chapter 918 - 914
At that moment, any passenger on the train would have heard the roaring crash coming from the roof. Everyone was leaning against the window to peer at the outside.
Besides, the train that they were in was a rare traditional, green train in the mainland. This was one of the few remaining ones in Yun City.
Unlike other local fast trains, the windows of the green train could be opened.
r /> The younger passengers with irrepressible curiosity opened the windows in a flurry and stuck their heads out.
However, they were instantly dumbfounded.
"What...what is that?"
"Plane...is that a plane?"
"A plane landed on a train?! You must have made a mistake!"
"I'm not myopic. If you don't believe it, just see for yourself!"
The air current coming from the aircraft's propellers was so powerful that it could not be ignored.
Every passenger on the train went berserk and started taking snapshots, while posting on Weibo on their mobiles.
The Weibo content usually said something like, "Have you ever seen such a wealthy person who boards a train in his private plane?"
"There seems to be someone visually tall next to the jet. He must be super dashing!"
"Didn't anyone realize that the moon seems particularly round today? And even if a private plane appears, why is the pilot someone else but not me?"
"Domineering chairman! He must be a domineering chairman!"
"Try counting the number of people in this country who own a private plane, and if the owner is good-looking, I'll jump off the train immediately!"
The netizens' Weibo content had ignited the entire network with absolute enthusiasm. It had certainly attracted local attention without anyone notifying them.
All of a sudden, every media was reporting about the matter. This would be the headline for the following day even though it was already late at night.
The local authorities were able to take quick measures to block the wordings 'A Private Plane Landed On The Roof Of A Train' from being uploaded before the news could reach out to more people.
They had also issued an official statement, explaining that the private jet's emergency landing was due to an empty fuel tank in mid-air. An attached diagram was provided to prevent the spread of erroneous misinformation.
All posts on Weibo that were uploaded by the passengers on board were also blocked for multiple reasons.
Once the media was under control, the network management team made an immediate call to a superior in Yun City.
At this moment, everyone gasped when Baili Jia Jue's stunningly exquisite face appeared on the roof of the train.
As he walked, black feathers fell one after another to his feet, synchronized to the motions of his footsteps.
Sixth Brother sensed that something was amiss. He reached out and conveniently pulled his subordinate toward him like a human shield, while he took a step backward.
The steward who came with Sixth Brother was the man who took away Baili Shang Xie and the boys. He was unaware of the recent commotion in the restaurant carriage a while ago. As he assumed that someone was there to find trouble, he roared, "You landed your jet here. Don't you know who owns this train?"
Baili Jia Jue remained silent, as he suddenly pulled out his hand from his black pocket.
There was no pause in between.
"Bang!" The sound of a gunshot echoed through the air.
The steward pressed his hand against his c.h.e.s.t, as blood spurted everywhere.
Everyone on the roof froze on the spot as they were stupefied. They came to their senses when the steward collapsed. This guy is not only rich, but he's also a formidable opponent!
Wait, correction.
He was extremely formidable!
Sixth Brother's men did carry firearms but in the mainland, even the most devilish fanatics would be afraid of firing a shot.
Unlike Baili Jia Jue, human beings were nothing to him but unpalatable food. He could shoot whenever he wished.
He gracefully fiddled the gun in his hand and pointed the muzzle at a slightly built man.
In other words, he would kill whoever was in his way.
Unlike their assumption, he did not beg for mercy, nor show any form of forceful resistance.
Simply because he could grasp every bullet that was fired at him perfectly.
Then, they opened fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Countless shots thundered through the air.
The more bullets they fired, the more shooters would drop dead by their sides.
The trafficker who abducted Baili Shang Xie and the boys had collapsed to the ground. Blood kept foaming at their mouths as they slipped into unconsciousness.
He heard someone say, "Master, little master's location is confirmed. He's in carriage number 10."
All of a sudden, the man broke into a presumptuous smile that revealed a chilly demonic aura, causing one to shudder, "You guys stay here and wrap up. Feed in any way you want."
The trafficker wanted to scream as he watched the gigantic monster approached him, only to realize that there was no voice from his throat, but a continuous gush of blood.
The excruciating pain of being chewed into pieces made him start to regret kidnapping the wrong target, particularly those two boys.
He turned around to look at the carriage entrance, only to realize that his boss was nowhere to be seen.
Fear swept in like a tidal wave surging through all his cells. His backbreaking effort in crawling back did not help him escape his fate of being devoured.
The night surged with a bloody smell, just as Helian Wei Wei anticipated. Sixth Brother had only risked his head to take a peep before he retracted into the carriage. He had an extremely awful look on his face, as if there were intensely dangerous and threatening things on the roof, causing his hands to violently tremble.
Without a second thought, he grabbed the corner of Ninth Ghost Mother's outfit and yelled, "Master, there is a monster outside… no, not one, but a swarm... a horde of monsters!"
"Calm down," said Ninth Ghost Mother as she realized that something was not right. However, no matter how powerful the demon was, it should not be stronger than her.
Upon hearing the voice of Ninth Ghost Mother, Sixth Brother began to ponder on the number of wealthy merchants left among the witnessing crowd. He remained silent, but his eyes were more alert than ever. As he flung his gun and fixed his motionless gaze on the carriage's entrance, he was ready to pull the trigger the moment someone appeared.
"He must be terrified of my father." Baili Shang Xie mocked in a peculiar tone, "My father is indeed not that pleasant looking."
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. A sc.u.mbag without good looks? He's hopeless.
"Speak of the devil!" Baili Shang Xie looked at the pair of blood-colored pupils that narrowed abruptly by the carriage's entrance.
Amidst the sound of the demons chanting, a tall figure that mirrored the chilly night and thin air strolled in, taking one step at a time toward them...
Chapter 919 - Reunion
Bang!
Sixth Brother pulled the trigger impulsively. One shot did no justice, so he fired three more shots!
The wealthy merchants were shocked by what they just saw.
Not by Sixth Brother's three shots…
But by the man before their very eyes.
Their fingers furiously trembled and their eyes widened, as they were completely stunned when they watched the man gripped the bullets in his palm. Then…he crushed them, bit by bit.
The light within the train lit up all of a sudden and a sharp pain pierced through everyone's eyes. Then, Helian Wei Wei's watery eyes met the man's side profile.
A handsome face that could make everyone weak in the knees, slowly appeared from the dark.
Peach blossom pupils, charmingly prominent nose and seductive lips.
How familiar, how I've missed this face.
Guilt, amazement, and excitement. A typhoon of mixed emotions in her c.h.e.s.t swirled, to the point where her heart ached. At that moment, Helian Wei Wei's mind went completely blank.
"This is your father? That sc.u.mbag?" Little Qingchen naively asked his little partner in a tender voice.
Baili Shang Xie was extremely cool, "Yes."
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. You didn't tell me that this sc.u.mbag was His Highnes
s, son!
"I was told that someone wanted to speak with me?" Baili Jia Jue had not realized that Helian Wei Wei was within the tactical formation. He came by because he had received news about him abandoning his son for a new lover and claimed that his action was no different from an animal.
The truth was that the opinions of human beings did not bother him much. This kind of remark was the work of some random little demon who made up stories to gain sympathy. Even if he was not sick of this silly game, he was already through with dealing it.
That was why he had decided to pay a visit personally and bring this little opposing demon back to the magical realm.
"Baili Shang Xie, come out on your own, or I'll drag you out." Baili Jia Jue's tone was unconcerned and cold. He stood in the middle of the enclosed square, acting as if the wealthy merchants who stood before him did not exist, and his son was the only one he cared about.
His line of vision was fully blocked by the passengers, so there was no way he could have seen Helian Wei Wei and the boys.
Besides, as arrogant as His Highness was, it had never crossed his mind that the person that he was looking for would be here.
Ever since Helian Wei Wei left him, he had never spared a glance at anyone.
"I'm going to count to three." Baili Jia Jue rubbed the gunpowder off his palms. As he lowered his gaze, he bit onto his left-worn leather glove and smirked. "One."
Thud.
Baili Shang Xie pushed past a person in his petite cool face as he paced over, saying,"I want human rights. You can't disregard my human rights."
"You're not even human. What human rights do you want?" Baili Jia Jue's response quietened Little Shang Xie. Indeed, he was not a human being.
However, he did not give up. Instead, he smiled devilishly with his little white teeth slightly exposed, replying, "You've once said that if there's any human being who does not fear and wants to be friends with me, I'm allowed to visit them."
"Looks like you've found a supporter?" Baili Jia Jue snickered and asked, "Who is it? How fearless."
