Chapter 52: Chapter 51: The Express Delivery Arrives
When the shared wing car ca to a halt, Lin Rui, while pushing the door open to get out, jokingly asked, “Lin Xi, why are you staring at like that? Do you think your brother looks exceptionally handso today?”
At that mont, his actions slightly paused as he started to survey his surroundings.
Lin Rui sensed a faint presence, observing them.
It felt exactly like when he last went to Mingde Affiliated Hospital to receive Alien Body at the school’s gate.
However, even when Lin Rui concentrated and even released a magnetic field in his palm, he still found nothing.
“Vain!” Lin Xi got out of the car from the other side, her gaze skeptical, “Brother, what was that just now? I felt your Qi suddenly beco very strong.”
...
— It wasn’t just strong; it also gave her a great sense of oppression.
Lin Xi even faintly sensed that the ether elents of the surrounding void and their fiery nature fluctuated with Lin Rui’s breathing tides.
It was strange because Lin Xi, a newly implanted Lieutenant Martial Artist, shouldn’t be able to sense these ether elents.
But during Lin Rui’s bursting energy just now, Lin Xi clearly felt it.
The thod Lin Rui used afterward with the tallic particles inside the car impressed Lin Xi even more.
Lin Rui returned his gaze and smiled slightly, “I have already implanted an Array Plate, and changed my Dantian as well, it’s a complete ‘Divine Thunder Inferno,’ sothing I ntioned before that couldn’t be found online, a military confidential model.”
At these words, Lin Xi’s spirit lifted, instinctively feeling joy for Lin Rui.
But Lin Rui’s next words made her face stiffen again, “However, I now owe Tianlan Finance and Credit Company 900,000 Federation dollars, but don’t worry, it’s an interest-free loan with no right of recourse, they can’t trace it back to you.”
Including his recent purchase of flying swords and needles, he actually spent over 1 million, almost reaching his maximum credit limit.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and cald her feelings, “It’s okay, this is normal.”
After all, how many Martial Cultivator and Alien Body practitioners don’t owe money?
Their parents, while primarily researchers, had also spent a lot on implantation.
It’s very rare in the world of Martial Cultivators that their parents could still leave so savings for them.
Lin Rui only owed 900,000—
Lin Xi then lowered her head, speaking hesitantly, “About today, brother, don’t you want to say sothing?”
“What’s there to say? You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Lin Rui looked back at her in surprise, soon breaking into laughter, and tousled her hair fiercely, “But next ti sothing like this happens, try not to be so reckless. You are a girl, after all. I watched the video footage; you could have run back to the school’s security office. And from now on, make sure to take care of yourself and try to get ho early. By the way, what happened today? Why did you stay so late at school?”
Lin Rui had watched the complete video, and the incident took place at the school’s front shared parking lot, and Lin Xi had also co out from inside the school.
Lin Xi was montarily stunned.
She recognized the affection and concern in Lin Rui’s words, without any pretense.
This was how her brother had always treated her; he loved pinching her cheeks when she was a child and started ssing with her hair as she grew older.
Lin Xi’s heart was overwheld with mixed emotions, and her eyes began to redden, nearly tearing up.
She hastily slapped Lin Rui’s hand away and strode ahead so that Lin Rui couldn’t see her expression, “Those guys were weaklings, why would I run? I’ll go make dinner.”
But just as Lin Xi was pushing the door open to enter, Lin Rui called out to her, “Just whip up sothing simple for today. Prepare so clothes and personal items tonight. You’re coming with to Mingde University tomorrow morning. You don’t have to go to school anymore; stay with at our school’s Martial Arts Society for a while. Also, I will send you a person’s business card later. Her na is Yu Feicui, and she will talk to you about transferring schools next sester.”
Lin Rui thought that Attorney Kang Mingkai’s advice was very pragmatic; he couldn’t afford not to take precautions, especially since these days he had to stay at the Martial Arts Society and couldn’t look after Lin Xi, so it was better to move there.
The living conditions there were much more convenient and comfortable compared to here.
However, tonight was quite safe within their neighborhood.
After all, it was a public servant district, and due to the incident with Colonel Xue, the governnt had strengthened the security forces here.
He had already notified Yu Feicui and secured a resting room at the Martial Arts Club for Lin Xi.
It happened that Yu Feicui was also very interested in Lin Xi. She had watched Lin Xi’s combat videos and asked Lin Rui, the guardian, if they wanted to transfer Lin Xi to specialize in Alien Body College at Mingde University.
If the siblings were willing, Yu Feicui would persuade Mingde University and Tina Blue Group, offering Lin Xi partial funding and a full scholarship.
“Why should I go to your school?” Lin Xi furrowed her brows upon hearing this, instinctively resistant, then let out a bitter laugh and said discontentedly, “I know, I’ll pack up after dinner.”
The Blood Lizard Gang was extrely brutal and notorious in the East City District. Lin Xi, being a hacker, knew the terrors of the Blood Lizard Gang all too well.
Ling alone here indeed wasn’t safe—it was like placing a little bunny before wolves, just waiting for soone to make a move.
Lin Xi glanced around, observing the mottled walls, the sowhat aged sofa and coffee table, and the photos placed on the coffee table.
This forty-square-ter living-dining room still bore traces of their family of five’s life.
Lin Xi felt annoyed internally, silently cursing the Blood Lizard Gang.
She wondered if in the future, the siblings wouldn’t even have a chance to stay here anymore.
It turned out her brother was quite the tough cookie, well aware of the Blood Lizard Gang’s influence in East City yet still insisting on filing a lawsuit.
Lin Xi felt very pleased; those people from the Blood Lizard Gang were all bastards, and keeping quiet didn’t help at all.
Just at that mont, an electronic sound ca from outside the door.
“Your courier has arrived.”
Lin Rui’s heart skipped a beat, knowing the “Yuan Magnet Flying Needles” and “Smart Flying Sword” he had ordered had arrived.
Courier services in this era were that fast, reaching anywhere within the sa city in just minutes.
※※※※
As Lin Rui and the other took a shared flying-wing car back to their own doorstep, in a terraced villa on the opposite side, a middle-aged Caucasian with thinning hair pulled down the curtain, not daring to peek toward Lin Rui’s side any longer.
He realized Lin Rui’s spiritual awareness was indeed very sharp. Last ti at the entrance of Mingde University, Lin Rui almost spotted him.
Today was even more impressive than before; Lin Rui’s spiritual power seed to have grown stronger, and his sensing range had beco much broader.
The question was, to what extent had this guy’s spiritual power reached now? Was it 200? Or 240? Surely not 300? It had only been a few days since Lin Rui’s spiritual power broke through 150.
Now, the most recent intelligence they could review was the data from Lin Rui’s physical examination during an exam.
Since then, all of Lin Rui’s physiological data had been taken over by Si Malin, encrypted by this candidate academician of the East Asian Republic.
The Caucasian middle-aged man frowned deeply, feeling that the matter of soul-searching could not be delayed any longer.
The higher Lin Rui’s spiritual power grew, the more difficult soul-searching would be.
The Caucasian middle-aged man then hurriedly walked to the basent of this terraced villa.
Inside, this space originally used for storage was astonishingly arranged into a simple array altar.
The altar was assembled from twenty-four array plates, each one ter in length and width, made by a carbon fiber 3D printer, and within the altar, 108 candles were burning.
The Caucasian middle-aged man sat down at the center of the altar, first taking three mouthfuls of blood drawn from a child, then forming a magic gesture and began to ditate deeply.
Suddenly, a whirl of chill wind started in the basent, blew through the open door, and rushed towards the direction of Lin Rui’s house.
