Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 396 Heading to Weifei

A few days later, Zhe and Ling were waiting for Yi Xuan's arrival at the video store. A few days earlier, Hugo's background and his identity as the leader of the Mockingbird organization were exposed, and everyone was condemning Hartman, believing that Hartman killed Hugo for his own position.

Therefore, the summit, which was usually hosted by the Ravenlock family, was now hosted by another family. At the same time, they unexpectedly learned that the Hartmann Society had been in contact with the Praise Society behind the scenes, so they began another round of investigation. During this process, it was also revealed that Vivian had also been a member of the Praise Society in the past.

Or perhaps she was abandoned as a child and then adopted by researchers from the Praise Society, who packaged Vivian's special abilities as divine pronouncements to deceive the believers who were tricked into joining.

Anyone who has been observed by Vivian using her abilities will be dragged onto an experimental table under the guise of receiving the Lord's blessing and subjected to experiments related to the transformation of sacrificial animals.

Meanwhile, the researcher also had a daughter named Tina, who was about the same age as Vivian. The two had a good relationship since they met, and it was also because of Tina's presence that even though Vivian knew it was all wrong, she still chose to stay in the Praise Society.

The researcher's evil deeds ended when he turned his attention to his own daughter, Tina. Because his experiments were stalled, he decided to use her as a test subject. Vivian fought back to protect Tina, ultimately delivering the most effective counterattack with a carefully crafted lie.

But the researcher was not about to give up his life so easily, so he pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his own daughter.

To prevent Tina from dying at the hands of her insane father, Camille, the researcher's subordinate and also the one responsible for taking care of Tina and Vivian, rushed out from the crowd, grabbed the gun from the researcher's hand, and began to snatch it.

During the robbery, the pistol accidentally discharged, killing the researcher. This threw the entire research institute into chaos, and all the refugees who had been tricked into coming began to scatter and flee. Vivian also took the opportunity to escape and was adopted by Hugo.

Now, Tina has taken up her father's mantle to conduct research on how to maintain the consciousness of the demon humans for the Praise Society, the key of which is the demon core.

That's why she contacted Hartman, who had obtained the Demon Core, wanting to make a deal with him in exchange for helping to salvage the Ravenlock family's reputation and obtaining the Demon Core from him.

Although Tina never intended to actually help, her only purpose in doing all this was to obtain the Demon Core from him.

Unfortunately, her deal with Hartman was interrupted by Zhe and Vivian, who arrived first. However, this was also a trap that Tina had carefully prepared specifically for the disruptors.

After chatting with Vivian, he left, and then Zhe and Vivian were surrounded by a large number of Yi Hai.

Kiana, who had been observing from the shadows, wanted to make a move, but she changed her mind after seeing that Yi Xuan was also watching the situation.

Just as she expected, Yi Xuan stepped in the next second to help the two out of the predicament, and then covered their retreat so that they could leave quickly.

After leaving the void, Zhe and Yixuan successfully got to know each other. At the same time, they learned from Yixuan that she was the teacher that the mayor had found to help them, the brother and sister, learn to control their powers.

Afterwards, Zhe and Yixuan dealt with Yixuan's matter together at Guangying Plaza. Yixuan then left and made a promise that after their incident was resolved, he would visit their video store and take them there to learn how to control their powers.

With Kiana's secret help, the group quickly resolved the incident. However, Vivian also learned during this incident that her close relationship with Tina was merely wishful thinking on Tina's part.

Perhaps Tina genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with Vivian from the beginning, and she truly wanted to help Vivian integrate.

But when she discovered that her father was focusing more and more on Vivian and neglecting his own daughter, Tina felt a surge of jealousy.

Therefore, even though Tina knew that what her father was doing was wrong, she did not stop him but instead went so far as to aid and abet him.

Because this was the only way she could get her father's attention, Tina felt both happy and relieved when her father decided to make her the next test subject.

But all of this was ruined by Vivian and Camille, so Tina took advantage of Camille's guilt towards her to quickly take her father's place and take over his research.

Ultimately, with everyone stopping her, Tina, driven to the brink of despair, injected herself with the potion she had created based on her father's research, transforming into a skeleton and launching an attack.

Unfortunately, even so, she was still no match for Vivian. Even her final, desperate counterattack was easily blocked by Kiana, who had been secretly observing from the sidelines.

And so the series of events triggered by the theft of the Sacrifice Ghost Core came to an end, and today was the day that Yi Xuan and the others had agreed to come and pick them up.

Soon, Yi Xuan knocked on the door of the video store. After entering, Yi Xuan immediately said that he had come to visit as agreed.

They also asked if they had accepted the investigation commission given to them by the mayor, and Zhe and the others nodded.

It turns out that the mayor had previously spoken with Zhe and his group, hoping they would take on a commission regarding the Lemnian Void.

Because of the special nature of this commission, the mayor hoped that they could go to Weifei as disciples of Yunkui Mountain to conduct an investigation.

Since they were going to learn how to control their physical strength with Yi Xuan anyway, they could just treat this commission as a long-term social task and complete it incidentally.

After all, Wei Feidi and Xin Ailidu are different from other places because they are truly protected by immortals. Even if things really develop to the point of being out of control, there will be someone who can clean up the mess. At the same time, the mayor also gave them a reason that they could not refuse.

That was a photo of their teacher, Carlos Alna, which the mayor had, of course, investigated beforehand.

The photograph shows no signs of tampering, and its origin is unknown. The only certainty is that it came from the hollow of Lemnian, so whether they refuse the commission or not, this journey to the Void is inevitable.

Zhe and the others nodded, then expressed their hope to take this opportunity to investigate the matter of their teacher Carlos's photos in the Lemnian Hollow. They then sincerely told Yi Xuan that their teacher had been wronged.

After listening to their explanations, Yi Xuan was moved by their sincerity and believed that Carlos had been wronged. He also said that Yun Kui Shan would do his best to help with this matter, and that the two matters could be investigated together.

Yi Xuanhai then said that he would temporarily include the two of them as disciples of Yunkui Mountain. Since it was temporary, there was no need to perform a formal apprenticeship ceremony for her, and they would have to call her Master like other disciples.

However, Ling still prefers to call Yi Xuan "Master". Zhe also said that Yi Xuan would teach them to control their etheric adaptability, which can be considered as imparting knowledge and skills. Moreover, they are now disciples of Yun Kui Mountain and it is only natural for them to call Yi Xuan "Master".

After a few words, Yi Xuan was very happy, and then took out the Yun Kui Mountain disciple robes that he had prepared and handed them to the two of them.

He also mentioned that the thing he and Zhe bought together at Guangying Plaza a few days ago was this. Some of the decorations on this disciple's robe can only be customized at that store in Guangying Plaza, which can be considered their Yunkui Mountain's exclusive supply channel.

Yi Xuan had been worried about whether they would make it to the agreed time, but now it seemed they had. She then gestured for the two of them to try on the clothes to see if they fit.

Since they still had a chance to make changes before officially setting off, the two returned to their rooms and changed into their disciple robes.

After they came out, they all said that the fit was perfect. Seeing this, Yi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, since their body measurements were estimated through divination and Yi Xuan's observation.

Yi Xuan was initially worried that her estimate might be inaccurate, but it seems that her eyesight hasn't deteriorated.

It was later stated that the mayor had specially planned a private waterway to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, and had secretly arranged an airship overnight to take everyone to the Weifei land.

However, their video store couldn't just close down so easily. Therefore, Zhe suggested that Ling go with Yixuan on an airship to Weifei, while he would stay behind to handle matters related to the video store and also take some necessary actions regarding H·D·D.

So, under the mayor's arrangement, Yi Xuan and Ling secretly left Janus District in an airship. Inside the airship, Ling looked out the window with excitement.

This was Ling's first time riding in a private airship, and her face showed excitement.

Then, while Ling and Yi Xuan were chatting and joking with each other, the airship arrived above the sea in the territory of Wei Fei, and below them was a cavern associated with the Lemnian Void.

Just then, the airship was attacked by an unknown force. With a loud explosion, the airship plummeted into the hole below, and Ling lost consciousness.

When Ling regained consciousness, she and Yi Xuan were separated, and it was very difficult to find her lost companion in the void.

However, it was unrealistic for Ling to escape the Void safely with her body, which had no fighting ability. So Ling had to carefully avoid the corpses along the way and leave some traces on the road to begin her journey to find Yi Xuan.

Fortunately, the two were together when the airship crashed, so they weren't far apart when they got separated.

Yi Xuan quickly found Ling, who was trapped in the skeleton swarm, based on the marks he discovered, and rescued her the next second.

Led by Ling, the two quickly emerged from the cave, but their luck was not good.

The cavity they fell into was a companion cavity of the Lemnian Cavity at sea level. It was originally a temporary dock prepared for fishing boats in the open ocean, but it was covered by the cavity, rendering most of its functions useless and thus abandoned.

Nowadays, very few people come here by chance. If they want to be rescued, they either have to wait here for passing ships and try to attract their attention, or they have to swim back directly.

Obviously, the second method is unrealistic. Even though the distance of more than ten kilometers is only slightly troublesome for Yi Xuan, it is an impossible task for Ling.

So the two of them could only sit on the pier, enjoying the sea breeze and quietly waiting for the ship to arrive. Just then, a voice sounded behind them.

"Yi Xuan, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing the very familiar voice, Ling immediately turned around and discovered that [Fu Hua] was standing behind them.

"Miss Fu Hua! It's wonderful to see you here!"

After saying that, Ling excitedly stepped forward and grasped Fu Hua's hand, then asked, "You learned about the attack we suffered, which is why you came to this area to look for us, right?"

Although Yi Xuan really wanted to tell Ling that she had mistaken someone for someone else, she had only reached out halfway and hadn't even said a word when Fu Hua suddenly pulled her hand away from Ling's.

Somewhat defensively, she shouted, "Who are you calling that old relic?! You should call me the great Master Fu Shi, okay?! And who are you, girl?"

Ling stared blankly at [Fu Hua], who called himself Fu Shi, her mind not quite processing it. In the end, Yi Xuan stepped forward and told Ling the details.

Simply put, the person standing in front of them was not the Fu Hua senior whom Ling knew, but the senior's "sister" Fu Shi.

After Yi Xuan's explanation, Ling finally came to her senses and realized that the pupil color of the talisman in front of her, or rather the Herrscher of Consciousness, was completely different from Fu Hua's; it was not blue but blood red.

So Rin quickly apologized to the Herrscher of Knowledge, who generously forgave her rudeness.

Then he asked them why they were there, and Yi Xuan was curious as to why the Lawgiver of Knowledge would be there.

"It's all because of the explosion that happened over here earlier. It scared away all the fish I had painstakingly prepared in my fishing spot, so I brought my small boat over to check the situation."

Upon hearing the keywords, Yi Xuan immediately confirmed with the Herald of Knowledge. After receiving a positive reply, Yi Xuan began to explain why they were there.

"So you were on an airship secretly arranged by the mayor to go to Weifei, but when you got here you were attacked by an unknown force and crashed into the caves nearby?"

Yi Xuan nodded and said, "So, senior, could you give us a ride?"

At this point, the Lawyer of Knowledge was in a bit of a dilemma. After repeatedly telling the two to promise her not to say or ask anything, she led them to her small boat.

"So, senior, this is..."

The Law Master said, "Don't say anything more, and don't ask anything."

Before them was a small wooden boat swaying with the waves, the kind that required manual rowing.

In other words, everyone would have to row back manually if they wanted to go back. Fortunately, the Herrscher of Knowledge said that this was just the boat she used to row here to check the situation, and the small fishing boat not far away was the small boat she came in on.
