Lu Shu hurled the bike to the side of Huanhu road and realized that he had gained distress points from someone called Wang Shuo. Lu Shu was rather curious, could this guy be Li Dian and Liang Che’s accomplice?
Why else would this random name provide him with a sudden surge of distress points? Or could it be related to something he did in the past?
When he came back, Wang Shuli and her friends had already returned to their respective tents. Lu Shu had read online that people who drank too much would be thirsty and experience headaches the next day.
Lu Shu couldn’t comprehend the logic behind this. Why drink when you’ll suffer the next day?
Then again, this was not important to him right now. Lu Xiaoyu sat pitifully at the opening of their tent, waiting for his return. Her head nodded occasionally as if she would fall asleep any moment. Little Fury was on her head, sound asleep as it bobbed with her nods…
Lu Xiaoyu was jolted awake when she heard Lu Shu’s footsteps. She asked softly, “Lu Shu, where did you go?”
“I went to fight over some stuff with people…” Lu Shu didn’t hide anything from her, “Do you still remember Princess Wenchen’s precious mirror that tour guide Wang mentioned?”
Lu Xiaoyu replied softly, “Lu Shu, bring me on your fights in the future.”
“I didn’t bring you this time only because someone had to stay to take care of Wang Shuli and her friends,” Lu Shu nodded his head. He always wanted Lu Xiaoyu to experience battling. This way, they could gain vital experience and ease Lu Xiaoyu into this culture slowly.
“What were you guys fighting over?” Lu Xiaoyu asked curiously.
“Do you still remember the story tour guide Wang told us about the Sun-moon mountains? Princess Wencheng’s mirror from the Tang Emperor was broken into two…” Lu Shu explained briefly.
Speaking of which, he was rather curious. Since the sun mirror existed, where did the moon mirror go? What effect would there be if the sun mirror and moon mirror were used together?
Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up the moment she heard the word mirror, “Did you get it for me?”
“Keke, no…” Lu Shu thought about his promise of getting a mirror for Lu Xiaoyu and was slightly troubled that he had yet to fulfill it. But this mirror was not for Lu Xiaoyu, because this mirror came with dangers…
“Ohh,” Lu Xiaoyu turned and went into the tent.
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199!”
Lu Shu then explained hurriedly, “This mirror is extremely weird, it is a magical instrument but I have yet to know its use exactly. I only know that once energy is sent to it, this thing will emit an intense brightness… I just fell victim to it just now!”
“Ohh,” Lu Xiaoyu lied on the bed in the tent and turned around to sleep.
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +299!”
Just then, distant sounds of cars could be heard. The sounds of engines could be made out distinctly in the silence of the night. It momentarily disrupted the peace and serenity of the silent night.
Lu Shu crept stealthily out of his tent to observe his surroundings only to see Liang Che and Li Dian brought down a car in handcuffs. He was stunned momentarily… damn… these two punks were actually caught by the heavenly network?
Were they really so unlucky?
Lu Shu, at that moment, did not have a single notion of pity but instead, felt rather delighted…
Honestly speaking, it would be good for Li Dian, a seasoned scammer and Liang Che, an unscrupulous and scheming punk, to spend some time under the supervision of the heavenly network.
But at this moment, he roughly knew that Wang Shuo was probably someone from the heavenly network fighting against them…
He looked at the happenings around Huanhu road quietly. The young man beside Li Dian and Liang Che looked unpleased. Liang Che stood there quietly while Li Dian looked like he was thinking extremely hard about something…
Soft voices from the distance could be made out along with the wind…
“He really used it as a flashbang… ”
“How would I know what he was thinking… he really is mad…”
“How do I prove it? Will a normal person run around carrying a motorcycle…”
And for Lu Shu, distress points were constantly streaming in. He had amassed more than ten thousand distress points in the past two hours just based on his act of carrying the motorcycle…
Were they searching for him? Lu Shu thought to himself. At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu had already crawled out of the bed and lied on his back. The two of them had their heads snuck outside the tent and looked outwards.
“Lu Shu, are they looking for you?” Lu Xiaoyu whispered extremely softly, “Are we running? Or should we just fight them?”
“There’s no need to. They don’t know who I am,” Lu Shu responded softly.
Lu Shu was still quite confident that his identity was hidden. They had never seen his face all this while and when he emerged from the tunnel, Liang Che and Li Dian were blinded by the flash…
Numerous people were alerted by the incident by Huanhu road. Moreover, it was almost sunrise and many people were awaiting it. Some people were also not used to sleeping in a tent as although the tents looked romantic, it was far from comfortable in reality…
Some people stuck their heads out to looked towards the commotion while Wang Shuo sent people to ask tourists if they had seen a person carrying a motorcycle…
In the end, no one saw anything.
At this moment, Wang Shuo’s phone suddenly rang. His facial expression suddenly changed and he shouted at all the members of the heavenly network, “Get on the cars!”
The three SUVs left quickly along Huanhu road, but not back to where they came from. Lu Shu looked at the three leaving cars and felt as if they were in a mysterious hurry.
Did something out of the ordinary happen? Why else would they bring two criminals towards the west instead of returning to Xijing city from where they came from?
Gentle swooshes from the bank of the Qingzhou lake could be heard. The night returned to its initial silence as if no one disturbed it at all.
Lu Shu suddenly thought of a question. If they continued along Huanhu road, they would arrive at Chaka salt lake so there’s a possibility that they might even cross paths again.
Not long after Liang Che and Li Dian were brought away, about an hour later, another ten or so SUVs drove past in the night.
Lu Shu even saw the military trucks before sunrise!
These trucks reminded Lu Shu of the time he was brought to Mt. Beimang. He was suddenly extremely awake. Could it be that a remain was resurfacing ahead?!
Of course, he couldn’t verify if daoyuan students were in those trucks. Neither could he confirm that a remain was resurfacing. After all, the military trucks weren’t signs of the opening of a remain. It just reminded him of that.
With the silence torn apart, the first glimpse of the morning sun could be seen over the horizon of Qingzhou lake!
