Chapter 785: 629 The Truth Revealed! [2 Updates]
The little girl opened her mouth, “You little—”
Before the word “heart” could be uttered, Ying Zijin made her move.
She, with the swiftness of lightning, knocked out the assassins ambushed around them one by one.
And the sharpshooter stationed on high buildings, seeing this scene, was sowhat shocked, “Quick, fire! Disable her mobility!”
Although there were no top ten assassins among those who ca today, they were still ranked hunters, and they were so easily dealt with?
Do they have five minutes?
“Bang bang bang!”
The sound of gunfire rang out incessantly, but not a single bullet could harm Ying Zijin in the slightest.
All of them fell to the ground half a ter away from her.
Walking truly among a hail of bullets.
The little girl fell silent.
She rubbed her eyes, and then rubbed them again, making sure she wasn’t seeing things wrong.
The conscious hunters, witnessing this scene, were horrified.
Inner Strength manifesting outside, ancient martial grandmaster!
An ancient martial artist from Hua Country!
The voice of the hunter in charge of organizing this operation ca through the communication devices into everyone’s ears, “Retreat, quickly!”
“Go! Go, don’t confront the ancient martial artist!”
Not even half a minute passed before the hunters chasing the little girl had all fled.
“…”
The whole street fell silent.
Ying Zijin turned her head and raised her hand, retracting her Inner Strength.
Only then could the little girl move her legs.
She jumped down and fell silent again for a mont before pointing at the hunters sprawled all over the ground, “You’re just going to leave them here?”
“Soone will deal with it,” Ying Zijin dropped her sleeve, “I’m lazy.”
Since this little girl was a high-priority protection subject for IBI, they would send soone to capture these hunters and put them in the International Prison.
How long they would be held wasn’t her concern.
“Well, then, thank you for saving . We’ll et another day—” The little girl hadn’t finished speaking when she was lifted up again.
The next second, everything before her eyes blurred.
When her vision cleared, they were in a different place.
Ying Zijin was still gripping the little girl’s shoulders, eyes narrowing, “So it’s you.”
Although her mory wasn’t bad, she couldn’t rember a person she had t once at the airport two years ago.
At most, there was a vague mory of such an event.
Now she recognized the girl because she had gauged her bone age.
Still six years old, but completely at odds with the behavior she displayed.
Two years had passed, and the girl’s bone age hadn’t changed at all.
This was sothing even ancient dicine couldn’t accomplish — it could only be the result of so alchemical dicine.
The little girl was sowhat confused, “What do you an ‘it’s ’? Have we t before?”
“We t once at the airport two years ago.” Ying Zijin looked down, “I forgot to ask last ti, what’s your na?”
“Eh, I forgot, but I definitely ca to O Continent two years ago. My na is Sinai Leaangle, don’t you all know that already?” The little girl struggled a bit, “Hey, let down, I told you, I’m older than you.”
“It really is you.” Ying Zijin glanced at the photo Fu Yunshen had given her, “Who’s trying to kill you?”
“Who else could it be?” Sinai clenched her fist, “So stinky woman, keeping locked up for so long. Wait till I find my niece, just you wait, she’s going to be out of here… Wait! ”
Her eyes suddenly grew cold, “You’re not soone that stinky woman from the Sage Academy hired to capture , are you? Saving to make lower my guard so you can take back later?”
She had been watching very closely just now.
The girl had not used any high-tech thods or weapons to repel those hunters.
Apart from those from the Sage Academy with special abilities, who else could possess such power?
Ying Zijin let go of her and stepped back, “What’s the Sage Academy?”
“You’re not from the Sage Academy?” Sinai pinched her wrist and circled around her, “No way, Earth has such powerful people now? But I didn’t encounter anyone as incredible as you last ti I was out.”
Last ti, she had even specifically toured the Underworld of O Continent, and those S-ranked rcenaries could barely match the servants at her ho.
Ying Zijin caught on to sothing important, “Our Earth?”
“Ah, no, I misspoke, our Earth, ours.” Sinai coughed a few tis, “Since you’re not from the Sage Academy, I’ll be leaving then. If fate permits, we’ll et again.”
But she couldn’t get away.
Her acupoints had been sealed once more.
Ying Zijin took out a tissue to wipe her sweat, and spoke indifferently, “You talk too much. I can save you, but I can also throw you back.”
Feeling sowhat aggrieved, Sinai asked, “Then what do you want to do?”
Ying Zijin looked at her, “I’ll ask and you answer. What’s the na of the place you co from, and how do you get in?”
That question put Sinai on alert once more.
She hesitated, “You’re not from our place, you can’t know that.”
Ying Zijin nodded, lifted the little girl up for the third ti, and was about to throw her back to the hunters.
“Ahh, I’ll talk, I’ll talk,” Sinai clung desperately to her arm, looking pitiful, “Have you ever heard of so unresolved mysteries of the world?”
Only then did Ying Zijin stop and sealed the surrounding space with her Inner Strength, her eyelashes casting a shadow, “What are you referring to?”
“There are lots of them,” Sinai counted off on her fingers, “For instance, a ship in a certain sea area disappears without a trace, and then reappears decades later, with the people on board still looking exactly as they did back then.”
Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “Indeed, there are many such cases.”
“Right, they accidentally entered the City of the World, but they didn’t have the qualifications. After entering, they were sent back,” Sinai explained, “But there might be so problems on the way back, such as accidentally entering the quantum domain, you know, fluctuations in space and ti. It’s quite troubleso; I hate physics.”
Ying Zijin spoke in a low voice, “City of the World?”
A strong sense of familiarity filled her thoughts.
The city of the world
“Sigh, you’re also lucky to have run into in person. If I told you this inside the city, you wouldn’t be able to hear it,” Sinai said with an air of maturity, “Even lip-reading wouldn’t work, all kinds of scripts would be blocked by the system, no thod would work.”
Ying Zijin nodded, “Hmm, I know, how do you get in?”
“As long as you have a resident permit for the City of the World, you can enter. Otherwise, it would be troubleso if you were caught by soone from the Sage Academy. There’s an entrance in the nearby sea area.”
Counting the ti, Sinai said, “But the opening is still four months away, I can’t even get in if it’s not open.”
“Four months,” Ying Zijin frowned, “The timing is a bit tight.”
She didn’t know how much of her ancient martial cultivation she would be able to recover in four months.
It was obvious that the City of the World possessed far more advanced technology than Earth, even in alchemy techniques and martial power.
“I heard from the elders in my family that a few centuries ago, if soone made a remarkable contribution or had so other impressive aspect, they would be actively invited by the Sage Academy to beco a resident of the City of the World,” Sinai added, “They could make an exception and allow them to beco residents.”
“But for at least a hundred years, no one has been recruited from the outside. I heard there was so issue with the Sage Academy and they prohibited actively recruiting residents from Earth.”
“I got it,” Ying Zijin collected the information, pondered for a mont, “When we last t, you ntioned that I resembled your niece.”
“Did I say that?” Sinai scratched her head, “Uh, to be honest, I’ve said to at least sixty or seventy people that you look like my niece, but after the assessnts, none of them turned out to be the case.”
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, “What do you use to determine the resemblance?”
“It’s because they are beautiful, of course,” Sinai said with confidence, “How could the genes of the Leaangle family be anything but fine?”
“…”
“But you really might be my niece, kid. Where were you born?”
“Hua Country, Shanghai City.”
With a frown, Sinai said, “Then it’s not you. Although I don’t know where my niece is, I’m certain that she grew up as an Eastern person sowhere in O-Continent.”
Ying Zijin wasn’t interested in this detail, her voice unhurried, “I’ll make a deal with you. I help you find your niece, and you take into the City of the World.”
“What do you want in the City of the World?” Sinai was curious, “It seems you have been looking for it for a long ti.”
Ying Zijin’s gaze was cold, “To take revenge.”
After thinking it over, Sinai said, “Deal, I can still manage to take one more person in.”
Ying Zijin sounded a hmm, “What are your niece’s characteristics?”
“Beautiful?” Sinai seed troubled, “I don’t know the other characteristics. I barely managed to escape this ti, I didn’t bring DNA samples of my sister-in-law, so we can’t do a parentage test.”
Ying Zijin chose to ignore her and turned to leave.
“Hey, I’m serious, my sister-in-law is also a beauty rarely seen in the City of the World,” Sinai hurried to catch up, “My brother is also good-looking, so my niece is certainly even more beautiful.”
Ying Zijin: “You’d better keep quiet.”
Sinai: “… okay.”
Her cell phone rang at that mont.
Ying Zijin answered the call.
The voice on the other end of the call was anxious, “Hello, Zijin, it’s Teacher Chen.”
“Teacher Chen?” Ying Zijin paused in her steps, “What happened?”
“It’s like this; really, you shouldn’t have to worry about this matter,” Teacher Chen said with an accent of impatience, “because this is a failure on our part as teachers to handle properly.”
As teachers, they must protect their students well.
They certainly shouldn’t let students fend for themselves.
Teacher Chen recounted the events of the past two days, “But Old Zuo hasn’t co back, and I suspect he might have been detained by the International Physics Center.”
“They surely won’t harm him, but your thesis, that’s the trouble, we can’t get it back.”
Ying Zijin’s eyes turned frosty, “The International Physics Center?”
