July 12, 7 PM, Capital International Airport, Li Jing.
A yellow taxi stopped at the T3 arrival level, the door opened, and Gu Qiye, Gu Zhuo Case, and Ji Minghuan got out of the car one after another.
To say the least, this family was quite striking walking down the street. Gu Zhuo Case’s genes were evident, and Gu Qiye and Gu Wenyu, the two brothers, were also handso and tall with slender builds.
Gu Zhuo Case opened the trunk lid, pulled out a suitcase, and handed it to Gu Qiye.
Monts later, the three headed towards the terminal.
Gu Qiye dragged two suitcases with both hands; Gu Zhuo Case had one suitcase in his left hand, with a backpack hanging over his shoulder; only Ji Minghuan had nothing to do, playing with his phone as he followed them.
"You two are seasoned disasters, dragging more suitcases shouldn’t be a problem for you. After all, it won’t tire you out." He thought to himself peacefully.
The three passed through security and leisurely entered the T3 terminal. Moonlight penetrated the famous "dragon scale skylight" of the terminal, casting light down. The roof was densely striped, fading from red to orange.
Tourists ca and went densely like swimming fish, with many foreign faces among them.
A piano piece washed over the airport like a tide; it was Chopin’s "Raindrop". This music was played non-stop throughout the day in Capital Airport’s T3 terminal.
At this mont, a batch of Mutants sent by the Li Jing branch was stationed at the terminal’s exit. They were dressed in exotic costus, smiling, occasionally giving signatures to passing fans.
Strangely enough, "Swallowing Silver" was also in the line.
According to online rumors, so country’s big shot would disembark at this airport tonight and leave from the T3 terminal, so the Li Jing branch deliberately displayed their sowhat famous Mutant as a welco.
And Li Jing’s signature figure "Blue Arc" happened to be on a business trip in Japan, while other Mutants of the sa rank were either on vacation or carrying out tasks elsewhere, leaving only the unlucky "Swallowing Silver" with the association.
Only Gu Qiye knew that a mber of the United Nations Superpower Organization "Rainbow Wing" would arrive in Li Jing tonight.
He would cooperate with the association’s professionals in Li Jing for a few days to arrest the long-ti arrogant S-level criminal—"Ghost Bell".
Following instructions from above, the mission must succeed, even if Ghost Bell is killed, it doesn’t matter. Since Rainbow Wing has been sent out, whether it’s a corpse or a live person, an explanation must be given to them.
Gu Qiye also understood what the higher-ups were concerned about. Ghost Bell’s power grew stronger with each appearance, showing how terrifying the growth of his superpower could be.
If he wasn’t restricted now, it wouldn’t be long before he would grow into a disaster-level superpower user, or even... a monster above that.
At this mont, Gu Zhuo Case beside him reached into his pocket and touched the cigarette pack.
Gu Qiye saw this and reminded him imdiately, "You can’t smoke in the terminal."
"Just touching it, I rember you can only bring two cigarettes onto a plane." Gu Zhuo Case said.
Hearing the screams nearby, Ji Minghuan lifted his eyes from the phone screen, following the sound to look at Swallowing Silver surrounded by fans.
His eyes brightened slightly, suddenly looking up to ask Gu Qiye, "Can I go over there for a bit?"
"What do you want to do?" Gu Qiye asked.
"I want to ask Swallowing Silver for a signature, I’m his fan, a ten-year old fan! I’m even wearing his exclusive fan T-shirt!"
Ji Minghuan feigned enthusiasm, raising his drooping eyelids and showing the pattern on his T-shirt to Gu Qiye, deliberately displaying the image. He looked like an excited fan eting his idol, just short of nodding like a penguin.
Gu Qiye glanced at it, and saw a silver hamster nibbling a tal block on the T-shirt, with an expression of cool indifference and "Not to be trifled with" written all over its face.
He was montarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh.
Gu Qiye rembered so year ago, when Swallowing Silver angrily scolded this company’s launch of fan T-shirts, complaining over the phone for twenty minutes straight, showing deep dissatisfaction.
Swallowing Silver said that his image was so mighty and tall, but this company made it so the fans buying T-shirts were saying things like "Swallowing Silver is so cute" and "Swallowing Silver baby, you’re a cute little mouse", making him, a manly man, feel unbearably sickening, wishing he could smash the design company.
At that ti, Gu Qiye was still in high school, listening to the old man’s complaints while morizing English lines at ho, curious how Swallowing Silver would react if he knew the renowned Blue Arc was just a high schooler.
He raised his hand and tapped Ji Minghuan’s head, deciding to let his sibling go tornt Swallowing Silver.
"Go ahead, but don’t take too long."
"Okay, okay."
Ji Minghuan brushed off his hand, slowly walking towards Swallowing Silver.
After a mont, Ji Minghuan erged from the noisy crowd, returning with Swallowing Silver’s autograph on his T-shirt. The handwriting was ssy and ugly, seemingly filled with resentnt.
With a click, he posed with a ’peace’ gesture and took a selfie with his phone, deliberately capturing Swallowing Silver entangled with female fans in the background.
Gu Qiye looked up at the dense display screens overhead.
The large screen in the upper left was showing each flight’s number and departure ti, while the screen on the right was scrolling through wanted photos, reminding airport staff and guards to observe carefully.
If it were half a day earlier, you could have seen the photos of "Da Zhonghou" and "Flying Ant" on the wanted list, but now Gu Qiye had sent them both into the superpower user prison, so their photos had naturally been removed from the list.
"What now?" Ji Minghuan tucked away his phone after the selfie, looking around.
"Let’s go complete the check-in procedures first." Gu Qiye said.
"Okay." Ji Minghuan seed partly aware, "But I’ve never flown, how do I do it?"
"I’ll show you how to manage it."
"I’ll take you to the front desk to handle it."
Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuo Case spoke in unison, locking eyes.
"Then you do it."
"You go."
The two locked eyes again.
"Do you two have problems, what’s wrong with queuing together?" Ji Minghuan asked.
He glanced at the flight number on the display and headed towards the thirteenth counter.
Two big n silently followed behind.
After completing the check-in procedures, they found a restaurant in the airport to have a bite and fill their stomachs. During this ti, Gu Qiye’s attention remained on the station’s exit, curious about which Rainbow Wing mber had been sent by the United Nations to apprehend Ghost Bell.
Soon, a figure erged from the terminal, wearing a pure white Chinese-style Tang suit with a mandarin collar. Nearby people caught sight of him and imdiately covered their mouths, whispering.
Looking at the man with long black hair draped behind, sunglasses, and a slim build, Gu Qiye was slightly taken aback.
Across the way, Gu Zhuo Case also caught sight of that figure in the corner of his eye and shuddered similarly.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his right hand on the table couldn’t stop trembling.
Like a mad hound seeing prey, Gu Zhuo Case stared fixedly at the man’s silhouette.
In that second, Gu Zhuo Case’s face turned intensely grim, regretting greatly his promise two days prior to accompany the two kids to Japan... Regret? With such bitterness, he wished he could return to two days prior, tear his consenting self in half!
Because the figure in his line of sight was none other than Rainbow Wing’s only publicly known mber—Vessel of Li Qing: "Fan Dongqing"!
The legendary hero who, years ago, single-handedly stopped a teoric catastrophe and saved Li Jing City.
He was also the very person Gu Zhuo Case had yearned to et for years!
