Volume 4 Dungeon Dungeon Chapter 88 Nighttime Investigation of the Black Mist (Part 1)
A very pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, is this... Li Wei?"
"It's me, you must be Xue Yan? I didn't expect you to call me. What's up?" Li Wei leaned back in his chair and stretched.
He had given his number to Xue Yan, Luo Cheng, and Chen Dali after the last mission.
"I need your help with something. Can we talk about it in person?" Xue Yan's voice was clearly a little nervous. Li Wei knew that this girl must be in trouble.
"OK..."
After hanging up the phone, Li Wei didn't ask any further questions. Xue Yan was a girl whose appearance was no less than Zheng Yutong's, but her coldness far surpassed Zheng Yutong's. Such a person would not easily ask for favors.
Li Wei was certain that Xue Yan hadn't contacted Chen Dali or even Zheng Yutong. Since she had spoken up, it meant she was in serious trouble, and at least in her mind, only he could help.
Looks like tonight will be another sleepless night.
In the evening, Li Wei, dressed in casual clothes, jumped off the balcony of his rented apartment and disappeared into the night after a few leaps.
Running on rooftops was something Li Wei had only ever seen in movies like 'Spider-Man,' but now he could do it too.
Moreover, it's even better!
Imagine what would happen if the world's best parkour athlete had Superman physique? Just look at Li Wei now, and you'll know the answer.
With a leap, he jumped onto a small platform, then quickly climbed up the drainage pipe at a speed comparable to a train. He then flipped and jumped more than thirty meters, landing on the open-air balcony of a hotel. The next second, he leaped again, bracing his hands on the wall more than ten meters above the ground, and landed on a pedestrian overpass dozens of meters away.
This method of running without regard for buildings allowed Li Wei to reach a place that normally takes more than 30 minutes by car in less than 10 minutes.
The entrance to a university in the city.
Li Wei found it strange that Xue Yan chose to meet him here, but Li Wei never liked to ask too many questions. Looking at the time, there were still more than ten minutes until the appointed time, so Li Wei sat down at a barbecue stall near the school gate.
These small stalls, scattered throughout the city's alleys, are doing very well. Generally, a person can have a meal with meat and vegetables for 10 yuan, though not necessarily to their heart's content.
Li Wei hadn't eaten these things for a while, and seeing many college students eating with greasy mouths, he couldn't resist and bought a few skewers.
The owner was a man in his thirties who seemed to have been doing this business for quite some time. He took money and grilled skewers with great fluidity, quickly finishing the task and handing it to Li Wei.
Surrounded by young men and women, Li Wei stood out conspicuously. Several female students noticed that Li Wei looked good, and more importantly, Li Wei exuded the aura of a powerful figure, like someone who was in a position of authority and dominance over others. So, they took the initiative to approach him.
"Brother, are you alone?" The speaker was a girl with a hot figure wearing black stockings. She had a pretty face, but Li Wei saw worldliness and a certain desire in her eyes.
Li Wei nodded, not intending to strike up a conversation. Even if he were to be approached by such a beautiful woman, today wouldn't be the right day.
However, the girl was taken aback, and a somewhat displeased expression appeared on her face.
Beautiful women hate being ignored by men the most.
In their dictionary, this is equivalent to being slapped in public, especially in front of a group of female friends, which is extremely embarrassing.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" They say some people change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, and today Li Wei has met one of them.
However, Li Wei still ignored her, because he had heard a unique sound, a sound that was like...
Helicopter?
Li Wei confirmed that it was the sound of a helicopter, but it was quite far away, so ordinary people couldn't hear it at all.
The man's disregard completely enraged the female college student.
Perhaps she was spoiled by her usual habits, or perhaps she was truly blinded by anger, she actually reached out and pushed Li Wei.
Now, Li Wei's perception abilities are no different from those of a monster, so how could he possibly be touched by the other party? The female college student only felt her wrist being grabbed by a strong and powerful hand. Before she could feel shy, she saw the man in front of her and his eyes.
In an instant, she was thrust into an icy abyss!
She felt an invisible pressure from those eyes, as if facing the fiercest wild beast. At that moment, she finally understood why the man before her had been so attractive to her from the very beginning.
It was that wildness, danger, and domineering aura that quickly brought tears to her eyes. She was scared, truly scared. Even though she was used to seeing thugs wielding knives and hacking at each other, she was so frightened at this moment that she almost collapsed.
However, the menacing aura emanating from the man in front of him vanished without a trace, and the man actually looked at him and laughed.
"Little sister, you should go home!"
These were the last words the man said to her. Because he was very close to her when he spoke, his distinctive, rugged scent filled her nostrils, and in an instant, her whole body went limp.
By the time she came to her senses, the man had already entered the school.
She stared at the figure's back for a long time without saying a word. Soon, a strange noise echoed throughout the campus, and countless passersby and students were surprised to find that a helicopter had landed on the school's large playground.
The young man who had been scolded as deaf by the school's beauty queen calmly walked towards the helicopter. Soon, they saw a girl who could only be described as a loli goddess jump out of the helicopter.
If this kind of girl were dressed in a cute anime style, she would definitely become the new generation of goddess in the hearts of countless otaku. Her baby face, loli voice, and perfect figure would make many college students stare in disbelief.
They even saw the once aloof principal and school leaders fawning over them. Unfortunately, neither the young man nor the cute girl glanced at the leaders. Instead, they said something, then jumped into the helicopter and quickly left.
"Who exactly is he?" The school beauty stared, mesmerized, as the helicopter disappeared into the night sky.
From then on, her personality changed drastically. She, who never believed in love at first sight, actually regarded that man as her true love because of this encounter. Of course, Li Wei had no idea about any of this.
He was sitting in the helicopter, looking at Xue Yan sitting opposite him, his eyes filled with solemnity.
"Are you Elder Xue's granddaughter?"
Xue Yan nodded.
"What a coincidence!" Li Wei thought to himself. "Could it be that I and the Xue family were related in a past life? How could I possibly meet two such people, grandfather and grandson, in this vast sea of people?"
Thinking back to the wilderness base he had entered with Elder Xue two days ago, Li Wei knew that the old man must have entered the black fog later. Damn it, how could he have forgotten about that? If he had stopped him then, none of this would have happened.
Li Wei didn't tell Xue Yan any of this. As for where Xue Yan got the plane, he didn't care much. The reason the girl chose that school was because it was the closest place to his residence where helicopters could take off.
What a thoughtful girl.
When Li Wei suggested entering Black Mist Village alone, Xue Yan stubbornly refused. It was simple: she insisted on going with Li Wei.
"This girl is just as stubborn as her grandfather!" Having failed to persuade her, Li Wei could only let her do as she pleased.
The helicopter was quite fast, and soon Li Wei arrived at the base he had visited two days ago. However, there seemed to be many more people here than last time.
An officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder tried to stop Xue Yan, but was scolded by the girl. Li Wei finally understood that this girl's temper wasn't so good after all.
When they saw the small village shrouded in black fog again, it was already 9:30 p. m.
Under the cover of night, only Li Wei and Xue Yan were there. The soldiers secretly followed a hundred meters away. This was Elder Xue's precious granddaughter, and they couldn't afford to take responsibility if anything went wrong.
However, they were equally horrified to discover that this little girl seemed to be much more powerful than them. Just now, she had simply flicked her hands and thrown at least ten throwing knives, knocking the Firearms Mastery of a team of special forces soldiers who tried to stop her to the ground.
Unable to stop it, we had no choice but to report to our superiors as soon as possible and await further instructions.
At this moment, Xue Yan and Li Wei entered the black mist one after the other.
