Chapter 49: Strange

  "Ah, I'm telling you, why can't you guys run a bit faster? Look, now the ghostly figure is gone." Just as they passed by that wall corner, Fang Ke and his team suddenly lost track of the mysterious ghostly figure. As the leader, Fang Ke couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Although they reacted quickly, they still underestimated the ghost's cunning. In less than a second, the person was gone.

  Fang Kai's words were so convincing that he almost forgot that he was the first one to rush up and chase after the ghostly shadow. The three of them, including Ruo Zi, looked at each other in a mixture of anger and amusement.

  "I say Ke Zi, isn't it unexpected that these things are hard to predict? Let's not drag our feet, let's first explore the surroundings clearly, so we don't end up like before being passive." Although Pang Dong looks careless, but at critical moments he still has a relatively accurate view of the problem. "It can only be this way......hmm, there are several forks in the road here, let's split into three groups." Fang Ke looked around and found that there were several intersections in front of him. And it was certain that Gui Ying would definitely be on one of them.

  As soon as the voice fell, Yu Zi and the three others nodded. Then, Pang Dong and Qiao Mu Si very consciously divided themselves to stand at two nearby intersections, while Fang Kai took Yu Zi to the last intersection.

  "We'll keep in touch by radio, okay?" Fang Kai waved to Pang Dong and Qiao Mu, who nodded. The three groups of people then walked into their respective roads at the same time.

  What is hidden in the dim intersection?

  Let's take Fang Kai's side, after walking for a while, Fang Kai brought up the issue that had not been discussed before. He glanced at Ruò Zǐ and suddenly said: "What exactly is that fluctuation? I saw that the two giant cannons on the Xue Songmu ship were quite powerful, but that fluctuation was able to save people in between, this is probably not a simple energy fluctuation." Fang Kai remembered that according to the principle of breaking through the superposition of energy, the fluctuation Ruò Zǐ saw should exceed two Planck constants, obviously with external force intervention.

  And the subject of power is naturally man himself.

  So, who was it that saved the Zorvathians at that critical moment? Could there be an accomplice here? Thinking of this, Fang Kai's eyes widened, but he immediately shook his head: "It shouldn't be, if they were really accomplices, why didn't they show up earlier? To know that before Ruo Zi appeared, he had countless opportunities to take action and push himself, Pangzi, and Qiaomu Si to the brink of disaster... Alas, what is it after all?"

  Fang Kai was like that, as soon as he had a doubt, his heart would be stuck on it. It seemed that if he didn't figure it out, these doubts would be like a fishbone in his throat, making him restless and unable to eat or sleep.

  "If I recall correctly, I wasn't too sure if that was a fluctuation either, because it was really too slight. To be honest, I found it hard to judge with the naked eye... Now that I think about it, it might have just been my imagination after all. Kai Zi, don't think about it anymore, forget about it, we'll talk about future things in the future."

  Although she knew Kai's personality very well, the more she understood him, the more worried she became. It wasn't that it was bad, but being too caught up in details would eventually lead to trouble, and by then it would be hard to rectify.

  "Come on, let's go quickly and don't think about it anymore." Ruo Zi pulled Fang Kai forward hastily, speeding up their pace. This was the only way to shift his attention. "Alright, alright, I won't think about it. Yeah, we need to hurry, or else things will change for the worse." Fang Kai shrugged, the tense muscles on his face relaxing.

  Seeing this, Yu Zuo secretly let out a breath of relief, and the two continued on, delving deeper.

  Although the two accelerated forward, they also remained vigilant, constantly observing their surroundings. However, strangely enough, nothing happened on this road, and there were no obstacles in sight.

  Things are sometimes like this, the more you guard against them, the less likely they are to happen. But when you let your guard down, danger often strikes. Although there was nothing "unexpected" on this road, Fang Kai and Ruo Zi were also very careful, afraid of triggering some mechanism and bringing unnecessary trouble.

  Painfully, the two of them had been on high alert for half a day, but they hadn't encountered any danger at all. Gradually, the two of them let their guard down. Just then, danger emerged like a venomous snake, suddenly and unexpectedly, catching people off guard.

  "Be careful, Ruo Zi!" Suddenly, Fang Kai pulled Ruo Zi to his side. At almost the same time, a cold and sharp blade swept over. Ruo Zi was shocked and her soul was shaken. Fortunately, Fang Kai's quick reflexes saved her from having her throat cut by the blade. However, despite Fang Kai's swift action, a lock of Ruo Zi's long hair was still ruthlessly cut off.

  Fang Kai patted his chest and sighed, "What a close call—" Before he could finish speaking, Fang Kai felt his hand relax, and when he looked down, he saw that an iron chain had somehow appeared at his feet, pulling Ruo Zi away into the dark area ahead.

  "Save me, Fang Kai!" Having been suddenly dragged away, Ruo Zi was so scared that her face turned white, and she could only instinctively call out for Fang Kai to save her. With a loud shout, Fang Kai didn't think twice and directly rushed forward.

  Fang Kai swiftly pulled out a metal gun: "Get lost." A terrifying sonic bullet shot out instantly, "ding" and cut off the iron chain. However, just as Fang Kai was about to grab Ruo Zi, a mysterious ghostly figure appeared.

  The ghost's movements became even more rapid, to the point of being unbelievable. With a slight movement, one after another, residual shadows suddenly appeared. Fang Kai only had time to blink his eyes when the ghost emitted a shockwave, sending him flying backwards. "Ruò Zǐ!" As soon as he landed, Fang Kai immediately looked up, but where could he still see Ruò Zǐ and the ghost?

  "Damn it!!" Fang Kai was so angry that his lungs were about to burst. The ghost shadow was so arrogant, swaggering right under his nose and kidnapping Ruo Zi as if he was transparent. But this wasn't what made Fang Kai most furious - he was now worried that Ruo Zi would be tortured by the ghost shadow.

  "Calm down, Fang Kai, you need to calm down. Only by being calm can we solve the problem." Fang Kai comforted himself, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "Although it's not clear what Guishen wants to do, since he's so powerful but didn't wipe out everyone at once, it means that Guishen and the people from Ziskei aren't in cahoots. Moreover, they captured Imhotep earlier, and now they've also captured Ruòzi, it seems like... Ah, yes! He must be trying to lure us somewhere. That's right! So, Guishen shouldn't harm Imhotep and Ruòzi, after all, they still have value to be used."

  Having thought this through, Fang Kai finally let out a sigh of relief. But he was clear that he had no room for choice. Even if he knew the other party was luring him there, how could Fang Kai avoid it?

  "First notify Pangzi and Qiaomu, let them be careful." As soon as he thought of this, Fang Kai took out the intercom and dialed through to Pang Dong's place: "Hey, you have to be careful, Guiying can appear at any time..." But strangely, no matter how Fang Kai shouted, there was no response from Pang Dong's side.

  Fang Kai's heart sank: "Damn it, has the ghost shadow succeeded in taking away the fat man too?" Thinking of this, Fang Kai immediately called out to Joems. "Must have a sound, must..." Fang Kai silently prayed that if even Joems fell into it, he would really be left to fight alone.

  But this is so dangerous!

  Fang Kai was overjoyed, but then he heard a commotion from Qiao Mu Si's side. However, when Fang Kai listened carefully, his face turned deathly pale. That wasn't Qiao Mu Si's voice at all - it was clearly the voice of someone from planet Zuo Ci Lei.

  "These two guys are indeed still alive." Fang Kai muttered to himself, deciding not to make any noise, he wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two Zergs.

  At this, Fang Kai couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  The content is like this:

  "Ah, Sisdaiva, this time we really owe it to him, otherwise those two would have been beaten to a pulp by that little girl." Despite being filtered through the comms device, Tanghairo's voice still had a lingering tremble. Clearly, the two massive cannons on the Xue Songmu ship had left too deep an impression on him.

  Sisidava seemed to fall silent for a moment before continuing, "That's right, we really have to thank him. Alas, it's my fault for being too impulsive. If I could have judged the situation clearly, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state. But this is also good, that guy has finally shown his face. I even thought he was really dead."

  At this time, Tan Heng Luo burst out laughing, his voice rising several inches: "Hehe, I said it before, he won't hang up so easily, you're always suspicious. Now it's good, with his help, those little mice can't escape. Hahaha..." Hearing Tan Heng Luo's uncontrollable laughter, Fang Kai couldn't help but mutter a few sentences, while being curious about the "he" in the mouths of the two Zhaitsu Xingren.

  "Who are they talking about? Is that person the source of the fluctuations?" To verify his conjecture, Fang Kai decided to listen on.

  "Hehe, had a good rest? He let us take this road, but he himself went in stealthily. We can't hold him back." Sisidava smiled and beckoned to Tankerton to walk, but suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

  "Quickly look, what is this."

  Following the direction that Sisidava pointed, Tan Hengluo saw the wireless communication device dropped by Qiu Mingshui and hummed: "Hehe, it's actually a wireless communication device. Let me see which little mouse left it."

  The beeper was discovered, Fang Kai immediately made a decisive decision and activated the remote-controlled explosive device. All that could be heard from Chomsky's side was a "bang", followed by the incoherent curses of the Zorvathians, and then nothing could be heard at all.

  Fang Kai couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat, it was really close, almost got locked onto by the opponent! Luckily, the comms device had been set to remote detonation, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable, he didn't want to spend his days with ghosts in front and Zorvathians behind.

  "It seems I have to hurry up, otherwise I'll be passive everywhere." Grinding his teeth, Fang Kai gathered his equipment and headed forward. However, he didn't know that the mysterious ghost shadow appeared again just after he left.

  The ghostly shadow gazed at Fang Kai being gradually swallowed by darkness, after a long while, it nodded slightly.

  What sinister plot does he have? And Fang Kai, what kind of thrilling situation will he encounter...
