Chen Ling's Probing
"Ding~ dong~ dong——"
"Ladies and gentlen, Eastern Miles mbers, good evening. I am the cabin manager for this flight. Welco aboard China Eastern Airlines to 【Gusu】..."
Following the flight attendant's warm and elegant voice, the plane began to taxi on the runway and took off.
The flight Chen Ling was on was a late-night flight, and also the last one of the day. Outside the porthole, it was almost pitch black. Besides the runway with its flashing indicator lights, barely any other planes could be seen taking off.
Chen Ling withdrew his gaze from 【Nie Yu】's body and relaxed against the backrest of his first-class seat. With his eyes closed, he looked exactly as if he had fallen asleep.
The next mont, the notification sound on 【Yang Xiao】's phone rang out.
Ding——
【Yang Xiao】, who was looking at the night view outside the window, froze on the spot. Because the plane was taking off, he had long since turned on airplane mode. It should be fundantally impossible for any text ssages to co through... He subconsciously opened his phone and found that a text ssage from "Chen Ling" had directly bypassed his lock screen and popped up right before his eyes.
[Seeing this ssage, do not be surprised, do not make a sound, do not make any superfluous movents... I have sothing important to say.]
From the corner of his eye, 【Yang Xiao】 cast a glance at Chen Ling beside him. The latter was lying in his chair with his eyes closed, and hadn't even taken his phone out. He truly looked like he had fallen asleep.
【Yang Xiao】 controlled his expression according to the text ssage. He didn't look around but pretended to reply to a ssage normally, quickly typing a simple sentence:
[What's wrong?]
[This person next to is not right.]
[What's wrong with him?]
[The palms of his hands have very thick calluses, and it's not the kind from doing farm work or chopping vegetables. Judging from the outline, it looks like traces left from gripping a gun year-round; moreover, when he ca in just now, I noticed a bullet scar on his collarbone, and when he put his luggage away, there was a knife wound on his forearm... Most importantly, he has a heavy stench of blood on him.]
After his pupil art was enhanced, Chen Ling's observational prowess with the 【Secret Pupil】 was also retained. The instant the other party stepped into the first-class cabin, Chen Ling began to deliberately observe him... Under his terrifying detail-screening ability, he imdiately noticed nurous abnormalities about the man.
【Yang Xiao】 understood Chen Ling's aning and imdiately asked:
[Is he coming for us?]
[Probably not, otherwise it's impossible that he wouldn't recognize us.] Chen Ling paused, and the next ssage popped up,
[But this flight is heading from 【Shennongjia】 to 【Gusu】...]
[Are you saying his destination is the sa as ours?]
[It's possible.]
[Then what should we do?]
[I'll probe him first.]
Chen Ling unhurriedly opened his eyes. He didn't look at 【Nie Yu】 beside him, but directly flipped open his phone and tapped into the mo app.
His fingers didn't even tap the keys on the phone, but lines of characters rapidly popped up in the mo!
[Ti: 23:15]
[Scene: First-class cabin]
[【The Role】s: Unknown male, flight attendant leader, flight attendant A, flight attendant B...]
Twisted 【Path of the Actor】——【Fate Weaving】.
This scene was seen by 【Yang Xiao】 beside him. His eyes were full of bewildernt. He didn't seem to understand why Chen Ling was suddenly writing a short essay in his mo app... But as Chen Ling wrote down the first line of 【The Script】, it was as if so unseen power pushed the plot forward, and things began to develop towards unknown circumstances.
【【Audience Expectation Value】 3】
Very quickly, a flight attendant walked out from behind the curtain, crouched down beside Chen Ling, and asked:
"Hello, 【Mister】, what would you like to drink?"
"Hot water," Chen Ling replied faintly. "Also, please bring us a portion of fruit. We'll need two forks."
"Alright, and for this 【Mister】?"
【Yang Xiao】 hesitated for a mont. "Black tea, thank you."
After asking Chen Ling and 【Yang Xiao】, the flight attendant walked over to 【Nie Yu】 and crouched down. "【Mister】, may I ask..."
"Hot water."
Before the flight attendant could finish, 【Nie Yu】 spoke coldly.
The flight attendant acknowledged him, then turned around and returned behind the curtain to begin preparing the items. The plane flew steadily in the air. Outside the portholes, there was nothing but the black night sky and the flashing lights on the plane's wings.
[△ The flight attendant leader begins preparing the drinks and fruits requested by the passengers. Two sharp tal forks are placed on the tray. At this ti, she does not notice an updraft approaching the plane's flight path. After picking up the tray, she walks towards the first-class cabin...]
About five minutes later, the flight attendant walked out from behind the curtain carrying a tray.
Right at this mont, the plane jolted violently under the effect of the air current. Her entire center of gravity instantly shifted. Amidst a cry of alarm, she stumbled past the curtain without warning, and the items on the tray spilled out.
Three cups of boiling hot tea tipped over right towards 【Nie Yu】's position. The sharp tal forks placed on either side of the tray spun through the air, piercing straight towards 【Nie Yu】's pupils!
【Nie Yu】, who had originally been resting with his eyes closed, instantly opened his eyes. A terrifying aura flashed and disappeared. With bare hands moving as fast as lightning, he grabbed the flying tal forks and dodged the boiling tea like an afterimage. The next mont, he dashed in front of the flight attendant and grabbed her collar!
His movents were simply too fast. Neither the flight attendant nor 【Yang Xiao】 saw clearly what had happened. By the ti they recovered their wits, a strong gust of wind had brushed past their cheeks, and 【Nie Yu】's chilling eyes were already staring fixedly at the flight attendant!
"Are you seeking death?!" 【Nie Yu】 spoke in a deep voice.
"I... I'm truly sorry!" The flight attendant snapped back to reality, her eyes full of fear and trepidation. She could feel the pressure brought by 【Nie Yu】's gaze, which made her entire body tremble involuntarily. "【Mister】... are you... are you alright?"
【Nie Yu】 glanced at the tal forks in his hands. They weren't exactly lethal weapons. His taut nerves gradually relaxed...
But the trajectory of those two forks just now was truly too coincidental, flying right towards his eyes. Had that not been the case, he wouldn't have had such an extre reaction.
"Ding dong——"
"Due to the influence of an updraft, there will be turbulence during the flight. Passengers, please fasten your seatbelts and do not walk in the aisles. The lavatories will be temporarily suspended from use during this ti..."
The notification sound in the cabin rang out. 【Nie Yu】 looked around with so lingering doubt and uncertainty. Besides the utterly terrified flight attendant, there was only Chen Ling, who was sleeping, and 【Yang Xiao】, who was looking at this scene with equal bewildernt. There were no potential dangers... Only then did he completely relax, believing this was rely an accident.
"Be more careful!" 【Nie Yu】 glared at the flight attendant and spoke viciously.
As the flight attendant repeatedly apologized to 【Nie Yu】 and cleaned up the water stains on the floor, this interlude was considered completely over. However, at this mont, 【Yang Xiao】's heart was incomparably shaken.
Everything that had just happened was almost exactly the sa as the short essay Chen Ling had written in his mo app a few minutes ago!
Did Chen Ling foresee the future, or did he secretly direct all of this?
【Yang Xiao】 didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask right now either. Chen Ling's image grew increasingly mysterious in his heart... Just as his mind was wandering, another text ssage popped up!
[This plane absolutely cannot land in 【Gusu】]
