Chapter 294 - This Damn Sister Complex!
Chapter 294: This Damn Sister Complex!
Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
A man and a woman were strolling through the forest.
“Xiaolin.
“You will be scolded.
“People are waiting for this rare opportunity, while you go to the suburbs on an outing in broad daylight. If your father finds out about this, he will definitely kill you.”
The girl jabbered on.
“Aren’t you here with me?”
The boy rolled his eyes.
“That is not the same thing.
“I was forced to keep an eye on you.”
The girl grinned.
“Crap.”
The boy stretched, his eyes swept over the city, and he suddenly smiled. “This is interesting. The activation speed of the Restart Array is being limited. Oh, it seems like our holiday will be extended.”
“Isn’t that normal?”
The girl shrugged. “Although rumor has it that the array is very powerful… To tell the truth, I suspect that even if no one did anything to it, the Restart Array may not be activated successfully. These people have taken it for granted in thinking that they can easily activate the array.”
“You have underestimated the thousand-year-old array.”
He smiled faintly.
“No. I am merely looking down on the people who activated it.”
The girl curled her lips. “Many of the ancient books have been lost. How effective will the legacy that they searched for be since it was merely based on information from the books? Besides, those sly old foxes said to wait for the rare opportunity! But why hasn’t it activated? They have another explanation saying that it is because the rare opportunity is not here yet…
Humph!”
The girl obviously hated people who were being deliberately mysterious.
“Heh.”
The boy could not stifle his laughter.
He did not argue with the girl but he was curious.
After all…
He knew very well of the power of the Restart Array!
The clues left by the big shots thousands of years of ago would not be this simple. Normal people would not be able to touch the sinister aura that was activated by the blood sacrifice!
They would die if they touched it!
According to the ancient records, once when the array was activated, many powerful cultivators joined hands in order to destroy the array and drain all the strange and mysterious sinister aura from it. Sadly, they had failed in the end!
The cultivators turned into pools of sewage…
All of them died and their souls were lost forever!
But now…
The Restart Array was being suppressed!
Interesting.
This was very interesting.
It seemed that a very mighty existence had intervened.
“Xiaolin.
“Will the Restart Array be destroyed?”
The girl was worried. “If the array is destroyed, we won’t be able to explain to them what happened when we return…”
“Don’t worry. It won’t.”
The boy could not stifle his smile. “Do you really think that the array is made from soil? Regardless of whether those people are capable or not, what they are fighting for is merely an entry to the array.
“The real array is there.
“Regardless of whether anyone did anything to it or not, it will be activated sooner or later…
“These guys… will definitely be back!”
The boy cast her a meaningful glance, eyes burning as he made his comment.
“Oh.”
The girl seemed to have understood a little.
At times…
Xiaolin would make profound comments…
…
Somewhere.
A dimly lit underground plaza.
A row of people stood there quietly.
All of them were in their twenties or thirties. All of them were very powerful, however, they looked deathly pale now.
“Delay?!”
“Why is it delayed again?”
“How can that be possible?!”
“Do you have any idea about the price that we have to pay for this?”
One young man roared.
Everyone, including the men in black and the cultivators waiting for the rare opportunity could be delayed except for them. This was because…
They were policemen!
They were police officers who had come out without their superiors’ permission!
They lied to their superiors and subordinates. They covered up all the information! This was why they were able to be here!
But…
How long could they hide it?!
Zhang Wei was still submitting rescue reports one page after another!
They blocked the rescue channels for all the police officers in Qing Ming City just for this rare opportunity!
However…
They were suddenly notified that there would be delays??
To hell with it!
By this time, they should have entered the rare opportunity!
Qing Ming City should have been destroyed by the Restart Array with no one surviving. They had planned to disguise themselves as itinerant cultivators who received the rare opportunity and they then leave quietly!
However, everything was gone now!
…
The rare opportunity had not come.
They could not leave.
If they left now, they would have nothing.
It would be revealed that they hid the news reports of Qing Ming City. Once the higher-ups discovered what they had done, a monstrous disaster would be awaiting them!
They would surely die.
Therefore…
They could not leave.
If they left, they had to destroy all the evidence!
Should they kill all the policemen and leave?
Hehe.
They could not cover it up.
In this mysterious world, they knew that they would not escape unscathed while being hunted down by the top-notch policemen.
It was too risky!
Well…
There was only one way.
The Restart Array!
They had to wait for the activation of the Restart Array!
They could do nothing but wait!
Once the Restart Array was activated, everyone in Qing Ming City would be wiped out. In that case, this would have nothing to do with them and their participation in this event would not be revealed.
Therefore…
They had no other choice.
“Yes, this is the only way.”
“We shall wait for the array to kill them! After killing them, the world will be cleaner and we can stay away from trouble.”
“What about the others?”
One person spoke up. What about the other cultivators who were waiting for the rare opportunity?
“Leave it to me.
“I will temporarily prevent the leakage of information. But…”
“Don’t worry.
“Eventually…
“Everyone has to die… Hehe.”
A sinister voice spoke.
There was dead silence in the underground plaza.
…
At this very moment…
In the shop.
Lu Ming had already returned.
The Restart Array was settled for now. Miss Xiaoqing put a small tool that vibrated into the array. It could detect the progress anytime.
“Take this.”
Xiaoqing passed a similar small tool to Lu Ming. Her face blushed red. “It will vibrate when the sinister aura is about to overflow.”
Lu Ming accepted it. “Did you make this yourself?”
“Yes, I modified it.”
Xiaoqing felt proud of herself.
This tool could resonate with the Restart Array underground. It was the combined efforts of many other Array Masters. They had come up with this design. It was very useful. That was why she was very proud of it.
Lu Ming paused briefly. “You are indeed smart!”
Although, He was more interested in what she used to modify it…
Cough.
Grr~
Miss Xiaoqing’s stomach growled.
“Ah, I am sorry.”
Xiaoqing sounded a little embarrassed.
“Didn’t you eat?”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
This lady was too hardworking.
“No, I didn’t.”
Xiaoqing lowered her head. “My brother told me to come on an empty stomach for this investigation.”
Lu Ming was confused. “Why on an empty stomach?”
“I don’t know.”
Xiaoqing was puzzled as well.
However…
She believed her brother would not lie to her.
“Alright.”
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
That damn sister complex, what trouble was he stirring up again?
Forget it.
He could not be bothered anymore.
He brought Miss Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to have a sumptuous meal of grilled fish, before sending her off. After all, she had come all that way to help.
“Thanks.”
Lu Ming expressed his gratitude once again.
“I-it’s alright.”
Xiaoqing waved her hands. “I have made a record of the Restart Array this time. This is very important.”
Very soon…
Lu Ming walked her to the car.
…
“Goodbye.”
Xiaoqing bade her farewell, she felt embarrassed as she patted her belly.
Uh—
She had eaten too much!
This was the first time she had had that kind of grilled fish!
It was amazing!
She never knew that a Summoner could be useful like that! Well… one of her close friends was a Summoner. In the past, she only summoned items to play with…
She wondered if she could summon some food as well!
She would try it out next time.
She heard that she used to summon swamp eels in the past…
Buzz—
Buzz—
The wristband vibrated.
Xiaoqing was pulled out of her thoughts by the call.
“Brother.”
Xiaoqing answered the call from Gao Tianlang.
“Are you on your way back?”
“Yes.”
“What’s the outcome of the inspection?”
Gao Tianlang looked calm. He noticed that his sister kept rubbing her belly. Her belly was indeed bigger than before…
Crap!
He felt like hacking Lu Ming into pieces!
“Thankfully, with the current situation, we still have one month’s time,” Gao Xiaoqing replied.
Gao Tianlang stiffened.
One month??!
What the hell? He heard that when the belly began to show, the pregnancy was generally well into the fourth month?! He had looked it up!
Crap…
This was even earlier than a premature delivery!
Would the baby even have a brain?!
“Why is it so soon?!”
Gao Tianlang was anxious. “Won’t it be very dangerous?”
“Yes.”
Gao Xiaoqing was worried as well.
“I don’t feel very confident but Lu Ming told me to come back here. He said that it was too dangerous for me to stay in Qing Ming City.”
Gao Xiaoqing looked troubled.
In fact, she wanted to stay behind in Qing Ming City but she did not have good combat abilities. If the Restart Array descended, she might be a burden to Lu Ming.
After all…
She was just an Array Master.
“At least he’s not stupid,” Gao Tianlang sneered.
Well…
The medical facilities in Qing Ming City were too rundown. They had better facilities near their house. Besides, things seemed to be chaotic in Qing Ming City.
Forget it.
He would not think about it anymore.
That child…
His sister was only into her fourth month and a pregnancy was a total of five months. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible! How come there was only a month left?
Damn.
Could it be that energy had interfered with his sister?!
Well…
It seemed that he needed to prepare some special medicine to protect the fetus.
However, it could be that the testing clinic at Qing Ming City was too rundown!
“When you are back, we will do another check up,” Gao Tianlang instructed her.
“Huh?
Gao Xiaoqing looked confused. “If I am back, how am I supposed to do a check up?”
“I have some friends here. Let’s find ways to extend the time,” Gao Tianlang said in a low voice.
“It’s useless.”
Gao Xiaoqing shook her head. “I have asked my master. There is no other way. If not for Lu Ming, things would have become serious in three days!”
“What would have happened?”
Gao Tianlang was perplexed. What did she mean?!
“The Restart Array.”
Gao Xiaoqing swept her gaze over her brother. Her brother was odd.
“Restart Array?”
Gao Tianlang paused briefly.
“Yes.”
Gao Xiaoqing nodded. “What did you think I was talking about?”
Gao Tianlang was dumbstruck. He stared at his sister’s protruding belly and pretended to ask casually, “What’s wrong? Do you have a stomachache?”
“This is your fault.”
Gao Xiaoqing glared at her brother.
Ss——
Gao Tianlang gasped a breath of cold air.
This…
What had this to do with him?
Impossible!
It was ridiculous!
Nonsense!
“You insisted that I go on an empty stomach! In the end, my stomach growled at Lu Ming’s place. It was so embarrassing… We had grilled fish but I had not eaten for two days and I was famished… So I ate quite a lot… Now I am very full and my stomach is bloated. I wonder if Xiaobai and Lu Ming will dislike me for that.”
Xiaoqing jabbered and complained. She was always this bubbly in front of her brother.
“You ate too much?”
Gao Tianlang finally came to his senses.
Oh.
So that was why!
Therefore…
She was not pregnant?!
“What’s the matter?”
Gao Xiaoqing noticed that her brother was in a daze yet again.
“I-its nothing.”
Gao Tianlang coughed and ended the call.
He turned and walked into his sister’s room. He stared at the newly renovated baby cot, rattle-drum, milk bottle and was lost in his thoughts.
Damn!
These things…
It was too early to buy them now!!
“Hurry!
“Butler!
“Return all this. Hurry!”
Gao Tianlang wiped his perspiration.
If Xiaoqing learned about this, she would beat him to death!
Oh, that was right.
He dashed into his room and threw away a stack of books, “How To Be A Good Uncle”, “Self-Improvement For Uncles” and many others…
“Remember!
“Get rid of them as soon as possible. If they cannot be returned, burn them. Do you understand?”
…
At this very moment…
Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Lu Ming thought about it and put the small item that could vibrate into his card bag. After all, he felt a sense of shame looking it.
The Restart Array was irreversible.
One month…
This was the final deadline!
Lu Ming thought about it and decided to contact Zhang Wei. There would be enough time to evacuate all the residents in Qing Ming City. It should not be a big problem.
Shush!
He flipped open the contact list and called Zhang Wei.
Dee—
Dee—
There were only endless beeping sounds.
“This is strange.”
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
This was the first time he could not get through to Zhang Wei.
As a team leader of the police, Zhang Wei would keep his phone on even in the middle of the night. But he could not be reached now…
“I shall go to his house to take a look.”
Lu Ming stood up.
“Xiao-Xiaojian. Let’s go!”
Lu Ming stood up.
However…
To his surprise, Xiao-Xiaojian did not keep up with him.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Since Xiao-Xiaojian was in charge of controlling the Original Card, Lu Ming rarely took the initiative to control it. After all, Xiao-Xiaojian had better control over it than he did. He did not expect that it would be skiving! This guy…
Could it be that it was trying to hook up with Xiao-Xiaobai?!
Hence…
Lu Ming went to the corner of the shop and indeed, Xiao-Xiaojian was right there!
However…
It was unlike what he had imagined where Xiao-Xiaojian tried to seduce Xiao-Xiaobai. Instead, Xiao-Xiaojian was buried facing the ground and was refusing to come out.
Lu Ming shouted several times but it was no use.
Shush!
Lu Ming controlled the Original Card by force.
Buzz—
The Original Card floated and suddenly appeared in Lu Ming’s hands.
Afterward…
Lu Ming was stunned!
The Original Card…
What had happened to his Original Card?!
His Original Card was normally crystal clear. But right now, apart from the original pink bangs, there was a bright radiance under it!
The main point was that the glow was green!
It was no wonder Xiao-Xiaojian refused to come out…
It was extremely ugly!
Picture this: a crystal clear Original Card with a handsome lightning crack as well as pink bangs, and beneath it, a glowing green…
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Damn!
Could this be the legendary act of slowly turning green?
