Song Shuhang took his private pilot's license back from the flight attendant and said, "I'll do my best."

"Make way, make way." At this moment, Gao Moumou and Tubo squeezed next to Song Shuhang with concern.

Gao Moumou lowered his voice and asked, "Shuhang, are you sure you can do it?"

"Someone has to try, right?" Song Shuhang —he never expected that his simple flight would lead to an accident. He was only at the First-Grade cultivation level and had no means of flying. If a plane crash occurred, he would be no different from an ordinary passenger, and the outcome would be the same: death without a burial place.

Tubo and Gao Moumou could only respond with wry smiles.

After putting away his private driver's license, Song Shuhang walked towards the cockpit, asking the flight attendant, "Is the cockpit door open?"

Civil aircraft cockpits are off-limits to unauthorized personnel. In the past, older aircraft might have had a key or something, but most of the newer aircraft have electronic locks in their cockpits, and some even require the captain to use facial recognition to enter.

However, advanced passenger planes also have advantages—many mainstream passenger planes now have a function that if there is no response within 30 seconds after a flight attendant calls the cockpit, it is considered that the pilot has become incapacitated. At this time, the flight attendant outside the cockpit can open the cockpit door by entering a preset door code.

"The cockpit was open... It must have been when the captain or first officer suddenly disappeared that one of them desperately tried to run backwards to leave the cockpit. But he obviously didn't make it out," the slightly overweight flight attendant explained.

"Then leave the rest to me." Song Shuhang was a man with a strong heart; the closer he got to the moment of life and death, the calmer he became.

After entering the cockpit, Gao Moumou and Tubo quietly followed them in.

The other passengers, persuaded by the slightly overweight flight attendant, stood quietly outside the cockpit and did not go in to disturb Song Shuhang —after all, this young man had only flown private planes before.

Private jets and commercial airliners are completely different concepts. If a large group of people crowd into the cockpit and disturb Song Shuhang, then everyone will truly have no hope of survival.

Upon entering the cockpit, Song Shuhang was dazzled by the array of instruments and buttons.

It's definitely completely different from a helicopter.

Tubo looked at Song Shuhang cautiously and said, "Shuhang, flying a plane is different from driving a car... be careful."

Song Shuhang nodded, and after sitting down, he began to try to pull up the throttle of the plane. Commercial airliners are a bit unreliable in this respect; different companies produce planes with different throttle control methods.

Fortunately... when he learned that he was going to learn to fly with Senior White, Song Shuhang went to the library and read a lot of books about flying to prevent any accidents.

I have reference books on all sorts of topics, and now these reference books are coming in handy.

Song Shuhang began operating the aircraft...

Gao Moumou and Tubo watched as Song Shuhang skillfully operated the machine, which looked quite impressive.

"Where did Shuhang learn his aircraft handling skills from?" Tubo wondered.

Gao Moumou whispered, "It's not a flight simulator game, is it?"

Tubo touched his heart, feeling it beating very fast.

Soon after, due to the lack of signal, Song Shuhang had to switch the autopilot to manual control. However, it was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything. The best he could do with manual control was to maintain a stable flight.

Hopefully, after flying a little further, we can escape this eerie, pitch-black world.

"I understand the basic flight controls, but now there's a very important question," Song Shuhang.

Upon hearing this news, Gao Moumou asked, "What's the problem?"

"I won't land..." Song Shuhang replied.

He had only ever flown helicopters, but the landing process for helicopters was completely different from that of large passenger planes. Although he had some theoretical knowledge about airplane landings in his mind.

But those theories are dry and abstract, and many important parts are described using a vague, ambiguous approach.

If Song Shuhang were to successfully land based on this theoretical knowledge of landing, it would truly be a miracle!

Gao Moumou: "..."

Tubo: "..."

"Moreover, the landing problem isn't the biggest issue," Song Shuhang said with a wry smile, pointing ahead. "The more terrifying problem now is that we have no idea where we are or what's around us!"

Even with the lights on, it was completely dark around the plane, and you couldn't see anything.

The communication devices and navigation interfaces in the cockpit also had no signal whatsoever. Their aircraft was now like blind men groping in the dark.

Gao Moumou calmly asked, "So... we're still doomed to die?"

Tubo thought for a moment, then took out his phone again. "I guess I should try to send out the suicide note I've written."

As the three were talking, a sudden burst of panicked noises came from outside the plane. Men shouted, women screamed, children cried... it was utter chaos.

"I'll go check!" Concerned for his girlfriend Mei Yi's safety, Gao Moumou immediately left the cockpit and ran towards the rear of the aircraft.

When he drove into the cabin, he was immediately stunned.

Inside the cabin, many passengers stood motionless, their bodies shimmering with a bright light, making them shine like fireflies in the night.

This surreal phenomenon stunned everyone.

"Mei Yi!" Gao Moumou shouted, then ran quickly towards his girlfriend's location.

Fortunately, Mei Yi is alright, Lu Fei and her sister are also safe and sound, and Song Shuhang's foreign disciple Joseph is also safe and sound.

His girlfriend Mei Yi, threw herself into Gao Moumou's arms.

"Mei Yi, what happened?" Gao Moumou asked worriedly.

"Just now, many passengers suddenly had flame-like lights shining from their bodies, just like these passengers in front of us." Mei Yi pointed to the dozen or so passengers who were now glowing.

"Then, the passengers in the flames seemed to be burned away completely, turning into ashes little by little, leaving nothing behind." Mei Yi's eyes showed horror.

As she was speaking, one of the passengers enveloped in light screamed in terror. Immediately afterward, his body began to transform into light particles from the bottom up.

These light particles fell like sand, and soon... the passenger in the light disappeared without a trace, not even a scrap of clothing remained.

His screams were like a signal to activate a button; immediately afterward, the other passengers in the light began to be converted into light particles.

Some of the granulated passengers frantically rushed towards their relatives and friends, seeking help. But their granulated bodies, like invisible souls, passed right through their loved ones...

Then, it quickly disappeared.

Another wave of chaotic screams erupted.

Gao Moumou frowned, thinking to himself, "Disappeared... Could it be that the captain, co-pilot, crew members, and the first batch of passengers who disappeared all vanished in the same way?"

"They... they're not dead, are they?" Mei Yi asked anxiously. This phenomenon, which couldn't be explained by 'science' at all, was driving all the passengers present crazy.

"I don't know either," Gao Moumou sighed, then subconsciously added, "Let's go to the cockpit and talk to Shuhang."

He didn't know why he had such thoughts, but he felt that talking to Song Shuhang about the phenomenon of passenger light particleization might yield some results.

Meanwhile, in the cockpit...

Tubo suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Shuhang, watch out! There's something ahead!"

"Is there something ahead?" Song Shuhang's eyes widened, but to him, it was still pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything.

How could it be that Tubo can see things, but he himself can't?

I am a cultivator who has opened my Eye Aperture; I can even see ghosts.

"I didn't see anything... Tubo, are you imagining things?" Song Shuhang asked quickly.

"No, I'm absolutely not mistaken. It's completely dark around us, but that thing is very bright, it's glowing!" Tubo shouted, pointing directly in front of the plane.

Song Shuhang blinked hard, but all he saw was darkness. Was there something wrong with his eyes?

While Song Shuhang was pondering, Gao Moumou also entered the cockpit.

The flight attendants and passengers outside were already in complete chaos, everyone worried that the 'light' would suddenly appear on them and turn them into a pile of light particles. At this point, no one cared about Gao Moumou entering the cockpit.

"Shuhang, something happened outside. A passenger was enveloped in a flame-like light. Then, they turned into light particles within that light and disappeared." Gao Moumou said immediately after entering the cockpit, "I suspect that the first group of passengers to disappear also disappeared in the same way, only they disappeared too quickly, perhaps so quickly that we couldn't even see that flame-like light."

Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. Trouble kept coming one after another.

The Unknown is what's most worrying... What exactly is going on?

I should have brought Venerable White with me! With Venerable White there, a mere plane crash wouldn't be a problem at all!

"Hey, Shuhang! There's something glowing ahead!" At that moment, Gao Moumou also pointed to the front of the plane.

The location he pointed to was the same as the location Tubo pointed to.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Damn, what is this? Why can Tubo and Gao Moumou see it, but he can't see what the so-called 'light spot' thing is at all?

Could it be something that can only be seen by mortals, but not by cultivators?

"You can all see it? Mei Yi can see it too?" Song Shuhang turned around and asked Gao Moumou's girlfriend Mei Yi, with a wry smile.

Mei Yi glanced at Song Shuhang, and finally nodded.

"What do the points of light you see look like? Can you describe them?" Song Shuhang sighed.

Gao Moumou raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "Shuhang, can't you see that point of light?"

"I can't see anything at all, all I can see is darkness," Song Shuhang said with a wry smile.

Gao Moumou stared intently at the distant point of light, his eyes aching from straining. "Shuhang, let's get closer. It's too far away now; we can only vaguely see a small green dot radiating golden light."
