Chapter 462: Chapter 279: Reinforcements, the Emergence of the Eternal Abyss Shark
After speaking, he suddenly turned his head, looking at the young man in a black trench coat in the distance.
Urushibara Osamu was gazing intently in their direction, pondering for a while before slowly walking over.
Just now, he and Robert had rescued Ryukawa Chiba from the underground prison. Having rescued Ryukawa Chiba, the White Crow Travel Brigade had achieved their mission for this trip.
The members of the brigade gathered here, but it seemed like one person was missing, that’s because the hacker was currently staying inside Robert’s phone.
He was continuously hacking into the nearby surveillance cameras to observe the situation around them.
Ryukawa Chiba, with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, "It’s so lively, so many people."
"Hey, hey... what’s the situation now?" Robert scratched his mechanical head, asking puzzledly, "How come the captain and I just came out and saw a Shark? And where did that woman playing with ice and the masked man come from?"
"Those two people should be from Rainbow Wings." The hacker’s voice came from the phone, "The one using lightning is definitely Blue Arc, the only possibility is he signed an agreement with the United Nations to fake his death in public."
"Do you really need to tell us that? We had already guessed." Bloodline said, "Isn’t the kid just being a Monday morning quarterback?"
Jack the Ripper nodded, "It’s indeed Blue Arc, as soon as I fought him I was sure, it couldn’t be anyone else."
She paused, "His superpower has mutated a second time, faster and stronger than before."
"Sounds like we should make a quick exit, my gate is already prepared. Let’s not linger here." Robert shrugged, fiddling with the antenna on his head.
He had already set up a series of connected Teleportation Gates on the way here. As long as they passed through those gates consecutively, they could reach Hokkaido City, kilometers away, within five seconds. Even if the people from Rainbow Wings knew their destination, they wouldn’t be able to catch up.
"Chief... I’ve already dealt with all the trackers and bugs on Ryukawa Chiba, we can go now." The hacker reminded.
Urushibara Osamu halted his steps, remaining silent, looking somewhat pensive.
Just now he had witnessed the moment when Gu Qiye and You Ruirui disappeared; a diamond-shaped dark blue light suddenly burst from their wrists, then faded away. Earlier the hacker had mentioned: in the underground bar in London, when those children in hospital gowns disappeared, there was a diamond pattern glowing on their wrists.
The connection between these two incidents did not seem like a mere coincidence.
"Rainbow Wings... are probably linked to that organization? But what is the origin of that organization? Why do we keep getting entangled with them?" In Urushibara Osamu’s mind were a series of questions that couldn’t be shaken off.
At this moment, Tong Zizhu finally slowly left the central control room, emerging from underground, wearing a fox mask, and yet while surveying the battle-scarred earth, started approaching the crowd.
"So slow, what were you up to? Did the commotion outside scare you into not daring to come out?"
"Wasn’t I watching you from the control room?" Tong Zizhu said while removing her mask, slightly stunned when she saw the Third Prince.
"Oh... isn’t this the Third Prince?" She opened her eyes wide, curiously staring at Cezar, "How come you’re here?"
Cezar was taken aback, looking up to meet her gaze, "Hello, Miss Tong Zizhu, right?"
He had a strong impression of this member of the White Crow Travel Brigade; if it hadn’t been for Tong Zizhu giving him the White King’s Staff, the outcome of the Terrarium battle would have been difficult to predict.
"Mama, mama, mama!" The Shark suddenly raised its head, wagging its tail excitedly.
Tong Zizhu silently took two steps back, shivering as she distanced herself from the Shark.
While the few were speaking, Cezar withdrew the Phoenix into the Anecdote Atlas, leaped upwards, mounting Yaguba’s back, and turned to look at the silent Urushibara Osamu.
"Chief, in exchange for helping you, we’re taking this officer uncle with us." Cezar said, pointing to Julius, who lay unconscious on the Shark’s back.
"No problem."
Urushibara Osamu, with his hands in his trench coat pockets, replied absent-mindedly.
This was a very reasonable trade: Cezar and the Eternal Abyss Shark helped them drive away the Rainbow Wings folks, taking the warden "Julius." The brigade suffered no casualties, and the person they needed, Ryukawa Chiba, was already there beside them.
"Goodbye, Chief, and everyone in the brigade, you should run quickly too. Those bad guys, although they don’t seem to be coming back, might suddenly appear again later!"
After speaking, Cezar vigorously waved his hand at the brigade members, his white hair fluttering in the wind.
Immediately, the Shark’s aerial bike revved up wildly, roaring away towards another corner of the sky.
"Quick, open the umbrella, Cezar!" Yaguba promptly reminded, "Those goons from the Salvation Society might be watching nearby! Shark Shark doesn’t want to become roast shark!"
It seemed calm just now, but it was already quite anxious inside. Fearing that soon a red-haired little girl wielding a Golden Cudgel would charge at them on a Somersault Cloud and give them a good thrashing. Then not only would they lose a mechanical body, but the officer they had finally captured might escape.
"I know, stop rushing me!"
Cezar grumbled discontentedly, selecting a common-tier anecdote from the Anecdote Atlas — the "Divine Concealment Umbrella."
He crushed the card, and in a flash of silver light, a red ochre umbrella appeared in his hand.
With a "pop," he opened the Divine Concealment Umbrella upward.
The red ochre umbrella cast a shadow, and the bodies of Yaguba, Cezar, and Julius became translucent, as if they had been concealed, silently and invisibly blending into the air, flying towards the deep mountains of Hokkaido.
