ATDIWR Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Charles’s Rage Besides An An, nobody is allowed! …

Ji An submerged his mental power into Bi Xue’s ability, feeling the power of space within her ability.

Since Space Sever utilized the power of spatial displacement, then he could directly use the power of spatial displacement.

Just as the first missile was only 0.01 millimeters away from the passenger plane, Ji An manipulated Bi Xue’s body and successfully released the power of space.

Time seemed to freeze in this second, everything was fixed.

Ji An was like a high-and-mighty deity looking down upon the human world, clearly seeing the fixed space, as if with just a light flick of his finger, he could change the course of the battle, change everyone’s destiny.

Ji An manipulated Bi Xue’s space ability to cut along the fuselage, easily cutting the plane away from its original space.

Ji An wanted to send the plane directly to Luo City Base, but when he was about to do that, he felt a powerful spatial resistance preventing him from directly transferring the passenger plane.

At the same time, he could clearly feel Bi Xue’s space ability rapidly depleting. If he forced it to continue, Bi Xue’s ability might be destroyed due to excessive consumption.

Ji An looked at the stealth fighter jets that were also fixed in time, wanting to shift their positions so the missiles would directly hit them, but as soon as he started cutting, he could feel Bi Xue’s space ability rapidly draining.

Ji An immediately stopped, not daring to make a move. Bi Xue’s space ability was still too low, the energy insufficient. While escaping herself, she couldn’t transfer other fighter jets. At Bi Xue’s current ability level, she couldn’t do it.

Being able to transfer her own passenger plane through spatial displacement was already Bi Xue’s limit.

Ji An could only transfer the cut-off passenger plane within the distance Bi Xue’s ability could withstand.

Ji An flicked his finger, and the passenger plane appeared five hundred meters away.

The stealth fighter jets were moving at about a thousand meters per hour. It would take them at least half an hour to catch up, and half an hour was enough time for Ji An and the others to escape.

For the people on board, they only felt a strong sense of distortion and squeezing from space. They felt as if they were squeezed into a paper-thin person in that instant, their breathing stopped at that moment, and it seemed even the air in their lungs was squeezed out. That feeling was very uncomfortable, like airsickness, but more severe than airsickness. The strong feeling of nausea in their chest couldn’t be suppressed at all.

Then, their vision blurred, and all the surrounding scenery seemed to rapidly flash by in less than a second during this blur. The strong dizziness and body distortion then passed.

Ji An looked at the constantly changing, finally fixed, new and unfamiliar scene before him and smiled. He knew it had succeeded.

Ji An smiled, looking in Gu Jinsheng’s direction. Gu Jinsheng was also looking back at him, his eyes filled with intense love and admiration!

Ji An himself didn’t feel much, and Gu Jinsheng seemed fine too, but many Power Users in the cabin had strong physiological reactions. Psychologically, they hadn’t reacted yet to what was happening, but physiologically, the urge to vomit became stronger. With a “wah,” many Power Users simultaneously vomited.

The entire space was filled with a foul smell! Bi Xue was among them.

Ji An, having successfully transferred the plane through space, withdrew from Bi Xue’s mind. Bi Xue hadn’t yet recovered from her bewilderment when she felt a strong sense of nausea and threw up along with everyone else.

Kong Zhongcheng pointed at Bi Xue and said, “You’re the one who caused this, and you’re still throwing up!”

Bi Xue said while vomiting, “I was mentally controlled by Ji Shen, I don’t know anything!”

Before they finished speaking, cheers erupted around them. They quickly ran to the window and looked out. The scenery outside was completely new, as if they had instantly moved from one place to another.

“Teleportation?” Bi Xue exclaimed in disbelief.

Kong Zhongcheng looked at Bi Xue and asked, “Don’t you know your own ability?”

“I don’t know!” Bi Xue said as a matter of course, “I don’t know anything! If it weren’t for the Boss, I wouldn’t even know my ability had other functions besides storage. Space Blade and Space Sever were also discovered by the Boss. Otherwise, why do you think I call Researcher Ji ‘Boss’? He’s too amazing, it seems like any ability is ‘naturally given talents will be useful’ in his hands! We ordinary Power Users aren’t like that!”

“Never mind, none of that matters, what matters is, we are saved!!!” Bi Xue jumped and danced with the surrounding Power Users, happy and gesturing excitedly. Nobody cared about the disgusting smell around them. “Ah ah ah!!! We are saved! Long live Ji Boss! Long live Ji Shen!!!”

In the cockpit, the captain had been flying planes for decades, having even flown fighter jets for several years before. He handled all crisis situations well, including when the missile struck. He didn’t despair or dare not look; in fact, he opened his eyes wider, trying to find a way out of the desperate situation.

So he was one of the few people who saw it most clearly. He watched with his own eyes as the missile suddenly disappeared at the moment it was about to hit the passenger plane he was in.

Then a strong feeling of dizziness and spatial distortion struck.

That squeezing and dizzying feeling made the captain feel a strong urge to vomit, but his extensive experience in high-altitude flight and self-control allowed him to overcome that feeling.

The captain then realized that the missile didn’t disappear, but rather they seemed to have teleported. They had arrived at a new high altitude, and everything around them was a completely different scene from before. Even the location coordinates on the instrument panel showed they were five hundred meters away.

Suddenly, the instrument panel started spinning rapidly, and alarm after alarm sounded. The captain looked at those alarms and could imagine which parts of the plane were having problems.

“Reporting to Commander Gu, the plane has malfunctioned and is no longer suitable for flight. There is a risk of crashing at any time!” The captain hadn’t yet recovered from the excitement of escaping Country R’s missiles and ability pursuit when he encountered another crisis.

Ji An said, “The ordinary plane probably can’t withstand the power of spatial transfer. Let’s jump!”

Gu Jinsheng nodded.

Ji An immediately notified the Power Users in the cabin who were still celebrating, “Jump!”

Ji An blasted the window in front of him with an ability. With a bang, the sound of shattering glass brought many Power Users back from their excitement. Ji An shouted, “Jump now!”

After shouting, Ji An set an example and jumped out first. Then Gu Jinsheng said, “Jump now!”

Gu Jinsheng followed behind Ji An and also jumped.

“Jump, jump, follow the boss and jump now!” Kong Zhongcheng was the first to react, roaring at the Power Users who were still celebrating.

Continuous sounds of shattering glass came from all around, and holes appeared one after another in the fuselage. Power Users jumped down like dumplings.

Before Kong Zhongcheng jumped, he saw He Tao still sleepwalking with his eyes closed. Kong Zhongcheng didn’t have time to explain and kicked him out with one foot. He then jumped out himself.

He Tao, in the rushing wind, struggled to open his eyes and found himself falling from the sky. People were constantly jumping down around him, like dumplings, one after another.

He Tao quickly opened the parachute that they had been told to carry ever since the plane first encountered problems, and began to descend with the wind.

It was also at this time that He Tao noticed the surrounding missiles and abilities were gone. This sky was as quiet as if a war had never happened.

He Tao looked left, right, up, and down, then suddenly his eyes widened. Here… this really wasn’t the sky he was in before.

He Tao couldn’t discern any changes in the surrounding sky, but before, there were mountains beneath that sky, and they had used the mountains for combat. There were no mountains here, only the sea below. This was completely two different skies!

Just as confused as He Tao was Kobayashi Ichiro. Kobayashi Ichiro was watching the video transmitted back by the Country R stealth fighters, waiting to see Gu Jinsheng and Ji An blown into pieces of flesh and blood.

Kobayashi Ichiro hummed a tune, raising a highball glass to De Witt on the video screen in a distant toast, “Respected Mr. De Witt, you are about to see how the commander of Jing Shi Base, who was overly elevated to godhood by those ignorant bumpkins in Country X, is blown into a bloody mess, leaving not even a bone!”

De Witt didn’t pay attention to Kobayashi Ichiro. He raised his highball glass to Charles on another screen and said, “Commander Charles, congratulations on getting your wish.”

Charles laughed loudly and said to his subordinates, “Go and bring that Country X woman over. Doesn’t she also have a grudge against Ji An and Gu Jinsheng? Today I’m in a good mood, so I’ll be charitable and let her see how her enemies die without even a piece of flesh left! Hahaha!”

Tang Tang was quickly brought up. It had only been a little over a month since she arrived at HSD Base, but her entire person looked decades older than when she came.

When she arrived, although Tang Tang looked old, it was only her appearance that was aged. Now, Tang Tang’s hair was mostly white, her eyes were hollow, and her whole person had a dullness as if her soul had been hollowed out.

Tang Tang was roughly pushed into the room and fell to the ground. No one helped her up, and she didn’t know how to get up herself. She just curled up into a ball, hugging herself tightly.

Tang Tang’s experiences during this short month at HSD had left her physically and mentally traumatized. Every day, she only awaited endless mental intrusions, repeatedly destroying her nerves.

They didn’t let her sleep, just to make her mentally weary and in a defenseless state.

But Tang Tang’s mental state being weary was useless. The mental suggestion planted in her Sea of Consciousness was still intact, and the mental Power Users at HSD Base couldn’t break the mental suggestion in her brain.

The more this happened, the more it formed a vicious cycle. The mental Power Users at SHD would further mentally torture and destroy her in order to break the mental suggestion in Tang Tang’s brain.

By now, Tang Tang couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last slept, or perhaps she couldn’t even remember these things anymore.

Tang Tang curled up on the ground, hugging herself, her eyes staring straight ahead. She murmured, “Don’t, don’t torture me anymore, please, please go find Ji An, go find him, let me sleep for a while, just a moment, ten minutes is fine.”

Charles beckoned, and a bulky Power User walked up. He grabbed Tang Tang’s hair and roughly shoved her face towards the screen. Charles’s voice was gentle, as if whispering to a lover, but this made Tang Tang even more frightened, trembling all over.

“Don’t be afraid, look, your enemy Ji An and his paramour Gu Jinsheng are on this passenger plane. Now they are about to be blown to smithereens by me! With a bang, there will be nothing left.” Charles’s eyes were red with excitement. He pulled Tang Tang’s hair, shoving her face entirely onto the screen. “Don’t you hate him? Don’t you want to see him die? Then open your eyes and watch, watch how miserable his death is!”

“Die, Ji An die!” Tang Tang’s muddled brain caught the keywords and her hazy eyes suddenly opened wide. She stared at the screen, looking for the plane. She knew Ji An was on that plane.

And now that plane was surrounded by missiles and abilities, the closest missile was about to hit the passenger plane. At such a close distance, there was absolutely no possibility of survival.

Tang Tang laughed foolishly, pointing at the screen and shouting loudly, “Die, Ji An die!”

“Yes, well said, hahaha!” Charles laughed loudly, “Now let us count down the life of this soon-to-fall scientific genius: 3…2…1…bang!”

Charles gestured, closing his eyes and savoring his red wine, enjoying the thrill of lives ending at his hands. Explosions sounded one after another on the screen.

“The, the plane is gone…” Tang Tang couldn’t believe it. She widened her sunken eyes, searching the screen for the plane. “Where’s the plane? Why is it gone? Did it fly off the screen?”

Charles didn’t care about Tang Tang’s crazy talk. He knew this woman’s nerves were messed up from the torment. It would be impossible for anyone to be normal after being mentally invaded day after day.

Charles even explained in a good mood, “The plane was blown up, of course it’s not there anymore…”

“Commander Charles…” De Witt’s voice trembled, “The plane, the plane with Gu Jinsheng and Ji An is gone…”

“Why are you talking nonsense like this crazy woman? Of course the plane is gone after being blown up.”

“No, that’s not it, Commander Charles.” De Witt swallowed hard nervously. “The plane with Gu Jinsheng and Ji An suddenly disappeared, as if it suddenly underwent spatial traversal.”

“How is that possible? What spatial traversal? Do you think you’re making a movie? That’s fake, it’s science fiction!” Charles roared, lunging to flip through the video. On the video, the passenger plane with Gu Jinsheng and Ji An had indeed disappeared as De Witt described.

“How is this possible? How can this happen!” Charles stared at the screen in disbelief, then fiercely shot out several abilities, shattering all the screens in the room. Then he began attacking the Power Users in the room.

The Power Users were caught off guard and killed by Charles one after another. The Power Users who reacted fought back while opening the door and rushing out, but Charles was a Max-level Power User. They had no power to fight back against Charles and were all killed by Charles who chased them out.

After killing all the Power Users, Charles returned. He walked towards Tang Tang step by step, like the Grim Reaper with a scythe.

Tang Tang desperately shrank back, curling up completely in the corner. She didn’t even dare to breathe, but Charles still dragged her out.

“Tell me, what kind of monster is Ji An? Why can he escape again and again, and invent epoch-making inventions one after another?” Tang Tang looked up and saw blood streaming from Charles’s empty, eyeless socket, while his other good eye was crazy, filled with abnormal hysteria!

“Ah!!!” Tang Tang screamed in fright.

De Witt looked at the static-filled screen and knew how angry Charles was on the other end. Thinking of Charles when he was violent, De Witt couldn’t help but shudder.

De Witt thought about the anger Charles was about to direct at him, and felt both scared and furious. It was all Kobayashi Ichiro’s fault, that damned Country R man!

De Witt smashed the highball glass in his hand at Kobayashi Ichiro’s face on the screen. He roared, “Is this what you show me? Where are Gu Jinsheng and Ji An? Where’s their plane?”

Kobayashi Ichiro was full of confusion, “I, I don’t know. It was just here, it was just about to hit!”

De Witt said coldly, “I don’t want to hear these explanations. Save your explanations for Commander Charles. You should know his temper. You’ve messed up such an important matter, he will absolutely not let you go!”

Thinking of that seemingly manic man, Kobayashi Ichiro trembled all over in fear, “No, Commander De Witt, you should know, this has nothing to do with me. I don’t know either, I don’t know anything!”

However, De Witt was in danger himself at this moment and had no time to listen to Kobayashi Ichiro’s excuses, so he directly hung up the call.

Scared and angry, Kobayashi Ichiro could only contact the captain of the stealth fighter jet who was still on the scene and hadn’t been affected by the explosion.

“What on earth is going on? Why did the people just disappear?” Kobayashi Ichiro demanded.

“We don’t know either, their passenger plane suddenly disappeared,” the captain stammered, “It was like they suddenly underwent spatial traversal, like in a science fiction movie!”

“Then why didn’t they take the missiles with them during the spatial traversal? That missile was clearly about to hit their plane.”

“I, I don’t know, Commander Kobayashi Ichiro, that is a mysterious area unknown to me!”

“You know nothing!” Kobayashi Ichiro, forgetting his position, cursed loudly, “You search for them immediately, a carpet search, you must find them for me. They can’t hide far. It’s all that Ji An’s trick!”

“Yes!” The stealth fighter captain didn’t think disappearing into thin air was some trick, but he dared not argue with the enraged Kobayashi Ichiro.

“If you can’t find Ji An, you don’t need to come back!” Kobayashi Ichiro angrily hung up the video call.

Kobayashi Ichiro never dreamed that his words would become a prophecy.

After Gu Jinsheng followed Ji An and jumped with a parachute, he constantly maneuvered his parachute and limbs to get closer to Ji An. Gu Jinsheng was skilled at this; his closed-off military training when he was a child wasn’t just for fun.

However, even though Gu Jinsheng was a professional, Ji An wasn’t. Gu Jinsheng could only watch as he kept getting closer to Ji An, while Ji An kept messing around and getting further and further away from him.

Gu Jinsheng was anxious but helpless. In the air, even if he wanted to tell Ji An not to move, he couldn’t. As soon as he opened his mouth, all his shouts would be scattered by the wind.

With a whoosh, the Thunder Dragon drilled out of Gu Jinsheng’s brain. It looked at Gu Jinsheng slyly and chuckled with ill intentions, “You can’t get close to Ji An, but I can!”

The Thunder Dragon swayed its head and tail in the sky, and with a whoosh, it rushed out. In the blink of an eye, it reached Ji An.

Ji An’s vision blurred, and he found himself sitting on the Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon looked back at Ji An with its big red eyes, wagging its tail, its large dragon eyes full of the proud look of seeking praise.

Ji An quickly patted the Thunder Dragon’s big head and praised, “Thunder Dragon is amazing!”

The Thunder Dragon jumped and danced happily, maneuvering left and right.

Ji An sat on the Thunder Dragon, couldn’t help but look up at the sky, but everyone was too far away, he couldn’t see anything clearly, only small dots. He couldn’t distinguish who was who among these small dots at all.

All he could hear was the whistling wind. Ji An could only lean close to the Thunder Dragon’s ear, cupping his hands around its ear and shouting, “Thunder Dragon, where is Gu Jinsheng?”

The Thunder Dragon was the materialized form of Gu Jinsheng’s ability. Even if no one else could find Gu Jinsheng, the Thunder Dragon would definitely sense him.

The Thunder Dragon blinked its big eyes, not feeling guilty at all, and said, “The wind is too strong, An An, what are you saying? I can’t hear you at all. Let me take you for a ride!”

The Thunder Dragon swooped down and flew directly into the high altitude, carrying Ji An as it maneuvered and swam in the sky.

Ji An couldn’t see the small dots around him clearly, but the small dots could see the Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon fully extended, its entire body reaching sixty meters long. Most importantly, the Thunder Dragon crackled with sparks and lightning all around it, making it a flashy spectacle. It was difficult for the surrounding Power Users not to see it.

The Thunder Dragon was the materialized form of Gu Jinsheng’s ability. Even if it now had its own thoughts and was somewhat out of Gu Jinsheng’s control, Gu Jinsheng could know everything that happened after the Thunder Dragon left him.

So, he naturally knew the conversation between the Thunder Dragon and Ji An, including the Thunder Dragon’s attempt to shake him off and play with Ji An.

The Thunder Dragon was Gu Jinsheng’s ability, and Gu Jinsheng could control its actions, so he secretly controlled the Thunder Dragon to fly back in his direction. The Thunder Dragon felt Gu Jinsheng’s summoning and struggled, but couldn’t break free, grumbling angrily.

However, the Thunder Dragon didn’t tell Ji An the truth, instead saying to Ji An, “An An, sit tight, I’ll take you to find that sinister guy Gu Jinsheng!”

Ji An couldn’t help but defend Gu Jinsheng, “Jinsheng is very upright and open. Don’t talk about him like that.”

The Thunder Dragon snorted, “Which politician isn’t sinister and cunning?”

Ji An said, “That’s not how you use that idiom. That’s called resourceful and wise.”

The Thunder Dragon was clearly unconvinced and muttered a bunch of things in a low voice. The wind was too strong, and Ji An couldn’t hear clearly, but he could guess that it was definitely complaining about Gu Jinsheng.

The Thunder Dragon flew over, only wanting to show Ji An to Gu Jinsheng, and didn’t want to carry him, but there was nothing it could do. To some extent, Gu Jinsheng was the Thunder Dragon’s master. The Thunder Dragon couldn’t refuse at all, so it could only grumpily carry Gu Jinsheng as well.

“Let’s go pick up the others. This way, everyone won’t be scattered when we land, and it will save some effort during assembly. Moreover, we don’t know when Country R’s stealth fighter jets will catch up. The sooner we gather, the better.” Gu Jinsheng said to Ji An, also commanding the Thunder Dragon to pick up people.

The Thunder Dragon immediately grumbled loudly, “No way, I absolutely cannot accept anyone other than An An riding on me. Allowing you to sit on this grandpa’s back is my absolute bottom line!”
