Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 302 The Demigod Council

After saying goodbye to Kevin and Bai Er, Lin Qiong and Sai Fei'er immediately set off for the citizens' assembly.

With Sai Fei'er's incredible speed, Lin Qiong felt the scene before him blur and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the venue of the Citizens' Assembly—the Demigod Council.

As his vision gradually cleared, he found himself standing on the outer edge of an incredibly spacious circular arena.

The ground beneath their feet was polished white marble, and inlaid in the gaps between each marble slab was gold that could reflect sunlight, just like the blood of the golden descendants.

But even more awe-inspiring than this magnificent square is the towering figure directly above it—the Colossus of Cephalophon, carrying the machine of dawn.

Just as Lin Qiong was marveling at the scene before him, Sai Feier's urging voice suddenly came from ahead:

"Don't look! The conference venue is right ahead. You'll have plenty of time to look after we rescue everyone!"

Lin Qiong suddenly came to his senses and realized that Sai Feier had already walked a few steps away and was waving back at him.

"What are you waiting for? Come on!"

"coming!"

He took a slow, deep breath to calm his shocked emotions, then quickened his pace to catch up with Sai Feier, who was walking ahead.

Soon, the two arrived at the conference venue.

Just as Lin Qiong was about to go further in, he was immediately stopped by Sai Feier, who quickly pulled him into a corner.

"Hey! Slow down! Can't you see all these Senate guys up ahead?" Sai Feier said in a low voice, pointing to the distance ahead.

"Really? Aren't they all residents of Ohma?"

Lin Qiong glanced in the direction Sai Feier was pointing with a puzzled look. He saw that in the dense crowd on the outskirts, everyone was dressed in ordinary clothes that were no different from those of ordinary residents.

He did not find the "cleaners" in the crowd.

"Look closely, didn't you notice that behind each person, there's someone else standing right next to them?"

Upon hearing Sai Feier's words, Lin Qiong narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze back to the crowd in front of him.

After careful observation, he was shocked to realize that the residents who seemed to have randomly placed themselves behind him were indeed pressing their bodies against the residents in front of them.

Between the two residents who were standing close together, a faint, bright silver light could be seen.

Although it was hard to see clearly what it was, if Lin Qiong wasn't mistaken, it should be the light reflected from the dagger.

The "cleansers," disguised as residents of Ohm, are silently lurking among the crowd, wielding daggers!

"There are so many!"

After a quick visual estimate of the number of cleaners on site, Lin Qiong's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.

Behind almost every resident present stood a carefully disguised cleaner.

It was as if, at the very moment someone gave the order, all the residents on site would be instantly killed and their blood splattered everywhere!

"This is troublesome. There are other cleaners patrolling around outside the crowd."

Lin Qiong peeked out and glanced around, discovering that several cleaners were patrolling the perimeter of the square in shifts, with extremely tight security.

But unfortunately, there were no buildings or bushes to provide cover in that area ahead.

In this situation, let alone rescuing someone, it would be difficult to even get close.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Qiong withdrew his gaze and turned to Sai Feier, who was deep in thought beside him, and asked:

"By the way, with your speed, could you take me straight inside?"

"Hmm?" Sai Fei'er snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this, and after a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "That's possible, but I have a better way."

"What to do...?"

Just as Lin Qiong was about to ask a question, before the word "law" could be completely uttered, he saw Sai Feier flick a cat-ear coin from her hand.

In the blink of an eye, without even realizing the displacement, the scene before my eyes changed again.

As the scenery before him changed, a clear yet noisy conversation suddenly rang in Lin Qiong's ears.

Upon closer inspection, he was already among the crowd of people attending the conference, and he had an extra hooded garment to conceal his appearance.

"See, isn't this much simpler?"

Just as Lin Qiong was stunned, Sai Feier nudged him gently with her elbow, a smug smile playing on her lips, and spoke quickly in a low voice.

"Wait, aren't you afraid of being spotted by the cleansers mixed in with the crowd if you just walk in like this?"

When Lin Qiong came to his senses and realized that it was Sai Feier who had used her incredible speed to bring him into the crowd, he immediately asked her in a very low voice.

"Don't worry about that. I knocked out two Cleaners who were lurking on the perimeter and even took off their coats. Now we'll take their place."

Sai Fei'er winked slyly, gestured for Lin Qiong to look to both sides, and whispered, "Look, they haven't even noticed that their companion has been replaced!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong quickly glanced to his left and right, and was startled.

Sure enough, his two "colleagues" were holding daggers and looking solemnly at the center of the square, seemingly unaware that the person next to them had been switched.

"Uh... no wonder he's a top-notch thief, he can easily do things that ordinary people can't."

After repeatedly confirming that there was no risk of exposure, Lin Qiong lowered his voice and praised Sai Feier without reservation.

It must be said that, if we disregard the risk of being discovered, Saifei's method is indeed simple and efficient, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Hehe, let me tell you something you don't know."

Upon hearing this, Sai Feier's lips curled up slightly, clearly pleased with Lin Qiong's praise.

But the next second, an extremely arrogant female voice came from the center of the field, instantly freezing the smug smile on her face.

"Haha, take a good look around, Aglaia!"

"Now that things have come to this, do you still not intend to end that foolish fire-chasing journey and return the leadership of Ohma to the Senate?"
