by VolareChapter 49: Brought Back
Jiang Xianchuan carefully untied the ropes binding Yi Yuzhi, afraid of hurting him. After all the ropes were loosened, Jiang Xianchuan took out some dry food and water from his pocket and gently brought it to Yi Yuzhi’s mouth, patiently feeding him.
Seeing Yi Yuzhi gobbling it down, a smile appeared on Jiang Xianchuan’s face. After a while, Yi Yuzhi’s mental state seemed much better. Jiang Xianchuan softly asked, “Shall we go back then?”
Yi Yuzhi raised his head, staring straight at the smiling person in front of him, and asked doubtfully, “Go back? How do we go back? Do you have a way?” Jiang Xianchuan didn’t answer his question immediately, but smiled slightly, and then suddenly reached out a hand. A flash of light appeared, and Yi Yuzhi disappeared.
After dealing with Yi Yuzhi, Jiang Xianchuan turned and walked towards his room. When he opened the door, he was surprised to find Wang Ge sitting in the room waiting for him. Jiang Xianchuan said, “Wang Ge? What’s the matter?”
Seeing Jiang Xianchuan return, Wang Ge quickly stood up and said anxiously, “Brother Zhu, it’s like this, one of the teams is missing a leader for an upcoming mission. The brothers discussed it and think you are capable and experienced, so they want to ask you to lead the team. What do you think…”
Jiang Xianchuan nodded without hesitation, readily agreeing, “Easy, I’ll eat something to replenish my strength and go right away.” Saying that, he walked to the table and sat down, picking up the food on the table and eating.
Seeing this, Wang Ge hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, you eat, you eat, no rush.” After saying that, he stood quietly on the side waiting.
Before long, Jiang Xianchuan finished eating, stood up, wiped his mouth, and said to Wang Ge, “Let’s go.”
Wang Ge replied with a smile, “Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Zhu.”
The two walked out of the room together. When they reached the door, Jiang Xianchuan found that four team members had been waiting there for a long time. Each of them had a serious expression and held weapons in their hands, looking well-trained.
“Shall we go then?” Jiang Xianchuan said softly, taking the lead and walking out of the slightly old gate of the Agritainment. The few people behind him followed closely, and the group walked quickly towards the location where Gu Huaishan and the others were hiding.
Along the way, Jiang Xianchuan walked steadily and firmly, as if he knew the road ahead like the back of his hand. The breeze blew, lifting the hair on his forehead, adding a bit of mystery and aloofness.
Before long, they arrived at their destination. Jiang Xianchuan stopped, slightly tilted his head and glanced at the four people following closely behind him, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised in an imperceptible cold smile.
Then, he gently snapped his fingers. In that instant, a chilling scene occurred—the four people who had been following behind seemed to have their souls extracted, their bodies slumped softly to the ground, instantly losing their lives.
At this time, Li Lingyu couldn’t care less about the blood on his body, he hurriedly looked at Jiang Xianchuan and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Jiang Xianchuan just shook his head lightly, indicating that he was fine. Then, he raised his hands slightly, a flash of light appeared, and a figure suddenly appeared in the previously empty space, it was Yi Yuzhi, who had been taken into the space.
Gu Huaishan, who had been observing the situation from a distance, didn’t show too much surprise at this scene.
In fact, he had long suspected that Jiang Xianchuan might possess some kind of special ability. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, although he was still a bit shocked in his heart, it was more of a sense of relief and anticipation.
“Brother Huaishan!” Yi Yuzhi was a little excited to see the person in front of him. Gu Huaishan patted him on the shoulder, “It’s good that you’re okay, we’ll talk about the rest when we get back!”
After experiencing many hardships, the group finally returned to City of Forgotten. However, when everyone curiously asked Gu Huaishan how he managed to bring Yi Yuzhi back safely, Gu Huaishan just smiled slightly and didn’t give a specific answer.
Because he knew that Jiang Xianchuan didn’t want his identity and actions to be exposed too much, he decided to silently help Jiang Xianchuan keep this secret.
At this time, Shi Yi couldn’t help but give Jiang Xianchuan a thumbs up, sincerely praising, “You’re something else!” Jiang Xianchuan responded with a smug look, “Of course, take a look at who made the move!”
After settling Yi Yu, Gu Huaishan thought for a moment, then turned to find Jiang Xianchuan. Seeing Jiang Xianchuan, Gu Huaishan went straight to the point and said, “Jiang Xianchuan, there are some things I want to talk to you about.” Jiang Xianchuan readily nodded, indicating his agreement.
Gu Huaishan continued, “This time, it’s really thanks to your help that we were able to bring Yi Yuzhi back smoothly, this is a great help to me. From now on, I owe you a favor. If you have any needs in the future, just ask.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Xianchuan, who had been a little lazy, instantly perked up, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, “That’s great! In that case, can you stop making me go out on patrol? It’s so boring to wander around outside all day.”
After hearing this, Gu Huaishan agreed without hesitation, “Of course, that’s no problem, is there anything else you want?” Jiang Xianchuan tilted his head and thought carefully, then shook his head, indicating that he had no other ideas for the time being.
“Then I’ll continue, I’ve always been very curious, although I know you don’t want others to know that you have an ability, but can you tell me, what exactly is your ability?” He looked at the other party with an expectant look, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Hearing him ask this, Jiang Xianchuan didn’t intend to hide it, and answered very simply, “Space.”
“Space? What does that mean?” He widened his eyes, his face full of confusion.
Jiang Xianchuan smiled and explained, “It’s just the literal meaning, simply put, I have a virtual space. This space is very magical, I can store all kinds of things in it at will, just like the backpack that the character carries when playing a game, it can hold a lot of things.”
After hearing this, Gu Huaishan couldn’t help but feel very surprised, it took him a long time to recover, and then he asked, “Then what are the triggering conditions for your ability? It won’t just appear out of nowhere, will it?”
Jiang Xianchuan shrugged his shoulders and said casually, “Actually, there are no special triggering conditions, it’s just that one morning after waking up, I opened my eyes and found that I had this ability, isn’t it incredible?”
Gu Huaishan widened his eyes, staring at the person in front of him with a suspicious look, and even began to wonder if his ears had problems. Since he personally created this place called City of Forgotten, every ability user in the city, including himself, had gone through all kinds of bizarre and thrilling special events before obtaining the superhuman ability.
To be told today that someone just woke up after sleeping and had an ability, this is really the first time ever!
“Don’t you… want to know what my ability is?” Gu Huaishan stared closely at Jiang Xianchuan, trying to capture a hint of curiosity or surprise from the other’s expression. However, to his surprise, Jiang Xianchuan looked indifferent, as if he had no interest in this topic.
After a long while, Jiang Xianchuan lazily replied, “Hmm… should I ask? But since you want to say it, then tell me.”
Hearing this, Gu Huaishan took a deep breath, and then said solemnly, “My ability is to control electrical energy! The entire camp’s power supply is maintained and guaranteed by me.” As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xianchuan with anticipation, hoping to see the other party show surprise or admiration.
Who knew, Jiang Xianchuan just responded lightly, “Oh, I see, that’s quite impressive. No wonder the elevators and other electrical equipment in this camp can operate normally.” After saying that, he fell into thought again on his own.
