Chapter 400: Chapter 238: An Olive Branch from "Rainbow Wings
"Don’t come near my brother..." Su Zimai whispered, "or you might as well kill me too."
Lin Zhengquan’s face twitched, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Alright... I’ll kill you both."
However, at that moment, a giant dark red train tore through space, rumbling as it surged forward, positioning itself between Lin Zhengquan and Su Zimai, obscuring Su Zimai’s view.
"Since when did you all stop taking your captain seriously?" Ke Qirui looked at Lin Zhengquan and asked.
Lin Zhengquan said darkly, "If it means I have to let the person who killed my brother and father go, then I might as well quit."
Xu Sanyan remained silent.
At that moment, a tall dark figure descended from the sky, landing beside Mu Long. He tied Mu Long’s body with a restraint belt and then spoke:
"If you want to ensure Mu Long’s safety, then please also ensure the safety of Mr. Blue Arc."
Lin Zhengquan turned back to look at him, "It’s meaningless, my brother is already... in such a state."
"Who says?" Black Cocoon said eerily, "My collaborator says there’s someone in this city who can heal Mu Long, but if you kill Mr. Blue Arc, then you can forget about ever seeing your lively brother again, Mr. Lin Zhengquan."
"Stop the nonsense, let him go!" Lin Zhengquan growled, looking at Lin Yilong who was bound by the restraint belt.
Xu Sanyan also frowned, raising a dark red umbrella and pointing its tip at Black Cocoon.
"It seems you’ve become so angry that you’ve lost your reason... Mr. Zhengquan, or is it that the attack from the Salvation Society has corroded your spirit too?"
Black Cocoon raised both hands in a surrendering gesture and shook his head as he spoke.
"I told you, I can save him."
After saying that, he used the restraint belt to stop the blood flowing from Mu Long’s body and a panel appeared before him.
[Hint: Your restraint belt has stolen the superpower of the "Mutant" Mu Long, and it can be released within 24 hours (after "Skill Release" or "time limit exceeded," the stored superpower will automatically disappear).]
"Night has fallen, members of the Train Demon group."
With those words, centered on Black Cocoon’s body, a dark curtain suddenly spread outward.
Xu Sanyan hesitated and pulled the trigger just before the dark curtain attacked. But it was too late, a domain identical to Mu Long’s swept over them, instantly stripping them of their five senses and plunging them into a deathly darkness.
Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow, "Even a Quasi-Calamity Level superpower, he can mimic it?"
Ten seconds later, when the dark curtain cleared, the original ruin was already empty.
"Black Cocoon... took him away."
Xu Sanyan said as he put away his umbrella and looked straight ahead, where concrete and steel were being destroyed by his explosion bombs, a building slowly collapsing.
Amidst the rumbling, Lin Zhengquan looked astonished, standing in place like a kite with a broken string.
He not only failed to protect his own brother but even watched him being taken away by someone, vanishing without a trace.
"Trust Black Cocoon... Objectively speaking, he might be the only one in this city who has a way to save your brother."
Ke Qirui said as he stored the massive Train Demon in a spatial rift, turning to look at Blue Arc, "Then, for now, let’s take Blue Arc back to the Mutants Association. His injuries aren’t too severe, with his physique, he should still be saved."
As these words fell, pieces of a movie screen opened over the ruins, with one screen falling behind Su Zimai.
She murmured softly to Gu Qiye, who was in her arms, then gradually retreated into that screen.
Lin Zhengquan watched this, unmoved.
He took a deep breath, lowered his head, and stayed in place. Suddenly, he let out a low roar and slammed his large metal fist into the wall of the ruins, creating a dent.
"I’m staying here, keeping him company."
Xu Sanyan said, taking a cigarette from the pack.
Ke Qirui nodded and stepped into the movie screen, and then the black and white pieces of movie screen disappeared with the wind, as if they had never existed.
...
...
Five minutes later, in Li Jing, in a remote underground chamber.
In the dim corridor, Black Cocoon carried Mu Long’s body step by step towards the front, and spoke, "Mr. Ghost Bell, as you requested, I’ve brought Mu Long back." With that, he raised his eyes to look ahead.
Under a cold light bulb stood two figures.
One was naturally Ghost Bell, and beside him was a character wearing a medieval bird beak mask and clad in a white robe. That person held a staff, both hands clasped around the top of the staff.
The flickering light illuminated the eyes of both; one’s pupils were scarlet, the other’s were amber.
"Put Mu Long down." Ghost Bell squinted his eyes and said slowly, "This one can save him."
Black Cocoon nodded, slowly laying the paraplegic Mu Long on the hospital bed, "Then I’ll take my leave, still need to check on Mr. Blue Arc’s condition."
With those words, he retreated, disappearing into the shadows of the corridor.
