Chapter 1657: Chapter 1658: Prophecy
“Hey, it really is you. I thought I saw someone who looked like you. But hang on, did you leave the Special Duty Team?”
Noticing the gear and combat uniform on Huo Feng, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask. Although Huo Feng wasn’t originally part of the Special Duty Team, he had worked there for a while. Now, suddenly leaving gives him a strange feeling.
“Not really. It’s just that this operation isn’t suitable for Maomu Special Service Team to intervene. After all, I was once part of the Special Forces, and this kind of dangerous mission is just within my capabilities.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Huo Feng calmly replied, then rolled his eyes. Feng Yuan said speechlessly,
“If I remember correctly, were you not in the combat unit before? Are you really good at wrapping things up?”
“Well… This Secret Realm doesn’t need any wrap-up.”
Pausing for a moment, Huo Feng turned his head and awkwardly remarked. Feng Yuan chuckled lightly and said,
“Yes, yes, it doesn’t need any wrap-up. But they arranged for you to go there; maybe they want you to find an opportunity to relax?”
And from the intelligence Feng Yuan learned from Agunas, this World Fragment doesn’t pose a significant threat. He also doesn’t understand why it was made, just to increase the Secret Realm near Chongshan Town? But what’s the point of that?
Unable to figure it out, Feng Yuan doesn’t bother thinking about it. After casually chatting with Huo Feng for a while, he returns to his carriage. Seeing Feng Yuan come back, Qi Chen couldn’t help but ask,
“How did it go? Was it him?”
“Of course, it was him. But he’s not coming as part of the Special Duty Team. I’m not quite sure what’s going on; there shouldn’t be any need, right?”
Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan muttered while scratching his head, indeed unable to fathom why Maomu City would send the mobile team over. Typically, the mobile team is only dispatched to assist when the Defense Corps or Special Duty Team is severely short-staffed. But is this World Fragment really that urgent?
“No need? This is an unknown Secret Realm. Though preliminary exploration has been conducted, nobody knows what’s inside. Isn’t their approach strange?”
Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan in surprise and said. She always felt like Feng Yuan overlooked something. Suddenly slapping his head, Feng Yuan said,
“I forgot they don’t know the specific situation of this World Fragment.”
Though Agunas has investigated it once, it hasn’t detailed the specific intelligence to Maomu City or Yufeng City. After all, its avatar has been following Feng Yuan closely. As for its true form? Though busy researching treatment issues with Great Xia’s scholars, it wouldn’t tell them this matter.
The risk of information leakage easily attracts trouble, and it doesn’t have the habit of reporting to humans.
This results in Feng Yuan knowing nearly everything about the World Fragment, while Maomu City and Yufeng City remain unclear about the specifics. Even Jingming Divine Monkey is still investigating the World Fragment, sensing something amiss with this Secret Realm but never quite understanding it.
“World Fragment?”
Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan in confusion. Not willing to know too many secrets, they didn’t probe into the Chongshan Secret Realm matter with Feng Yuan. Unexpectedly, the involved things seemed quite significant?
“Well, how to say, there’s a bit of an issue with it. Supposedly a World Fragment, yet it doesn’t seem like a normal one. Anyway, there isn’t much danger where Legendary Level strength is concerned. Otherwise, I wouldn’t not block them at all.”
Thinking it over, Feng Yuan said. He hasn’t visited that place, only heard Agunas talk about its internal intelligence. Yet even so, he can judge roughly what’s going on in that World Fragment.
“So, you haven’t communicated the discoveries and its answers to Jingming Divine Monkey?”
Veronia sighed helplessly and said. She didn’t expect even Agunas forgot to inform Jingming Divine Monkey about this. As for why she wasn’t aware? Matters like these seldom get exchanged in the Divine Beasts intelligence network; she couldn’t know if Agunas privately contacted Jingming Divine Monkey.
“This is… the World Fragment created by it?”
Receiving the message from Veronia mid-investigation, Jingming Divine Monkey paused upon learning the truth. Feeling somewhat amused, had it not detected anomalous areas within the World Fragment, it wouldn’t have suggested Maomu and Yufeng deploy mobile units for investigation.
Only it didn’t foresee Feng Yuan and the others already knowing the situation here. Upon learning the truth, it didn’t hesitate to find Yufeng City’s liaison, reporting this intelligence relieved most people. Despite plenty of preparation in vain, at least it’s a good thing. They don’t want weird entities emerging from this Secret Realm.
“Ah~ Riding the special train feels nice. A pity it’s only a one-time experience.”
Stretching lazily, Feng Yuan picked up his backpack, lifted the little Flame Wolf sleeping by his feet, and said. Even though he holds a special pass, under non-emergency circumstances, Great Xia wouldn’t arrange a special train for him. It’s unavoidable; too many things are involved, Feng Yuan himself feels embarrassed to let others toil over nothing.
“You’re really dreaming big. This doesn’t even count as a special train; it only happened because tickets on the existing schedule were adjusted for our use.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said irritably. Adding extra trains isn’t unfeasible, but relatively troublesome. Luckily, few passengers ride from Maomu to Chongshan Town, needing only to ensure this train empties at Maomu City.
Yet even so, a hiccup almost occurred as some passengers had tight transfer schedules. Fortunately, there was another high-speed train on a swapable schedule, avoiding any real issues.
As soon as getting off the train, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with perplexing expression and said,
“A prophecy actually works on you?”
“What prophecy?”
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan didn’t quite grasp what Veronia meant. Agunas swished its tail, curiously observing around and said,
“Is there anything special here?”
“Not really at the station. Besides people from two nearby cities, there seems to be someone related to you~”
With a mysterious smile, Veronia said. Feng Yuan looked at them puzzled and said,
“You mean Huo Feng?”
“Of course not him. Lanadi’s here too~ Although I just found out, she seems to have received an Alliance task to assist, will you meet?”
Without keeping it under wraps, Veronia teased. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan felt a bit headache encountering Lanadi here, though having merely heard of her presence. Given her investigation into the World Fragment, it’s unlikely the two never cross paths.
“Unexpected to know soon~”
Gladys said with a cryptic smile, leading Traveler Bear Mogu and Prophecy Doll Anna toward Feng Yuan. She originally anticipated watching Feng Yuan’s reaction upon unexpectedly encountering Lanadi, amazed they’re aware before meeting.
“Why do I feel you seem eager for drama?”
Feng Yuan said speechlessly to Gladys, placing the struggling little Flame Wolf on the ground and instructed Agunas to watch over it. With no one at the dormitory, leaving it there is impossible; besides, it needs daily medicinal baths. Dorming alone means frequent door-opening for Agunas, too bothersome.
“How could you say drinking in drama~ Lanadi’s my good pal, isn’t it okay for me to help her?”
With a quirky smile, Gladys got close to Feng Yuan. However, perhaps due to chasing Mr. Yan, she didn’t make further moves. Glancing at Gladys, Feng Yuan said irritably,
“You? Good pals? Tch, hard to believe.”
“Believe or not, but don’t you plan on meeting her?”
“Depends on fate. Looking someone up might misconstrue things.”
Sighing, Feng Yuan commented casually, to which Gladys snorted softly and said,
“Misconstruction is even better then?”
