1140: Chapter 21: The Figure in Black!
[1st Update] 1140: Chapter 21: The Figure in Black!
[1st Update] âDamn, so powerful!
Is it real?â He had only heard about this terrifying driver, but now his eyes are truly bulging like crazy.
However, no matter how much he searched, he couldnât see Jia Yan anywhere.
Of course, he couldnât find him because Jia Yan was already on the rooftop of a distant building.
Jia Yan leaned against the water tank of the house, looking at the sky.
The clouds floated leisurely above, and sometimes Jia Yan wished he could drift into the sky just as easily, becoming part of the scenery, the focus of thousands of eyes.
But he couldnât do that, there were things he had to do, changes he had to accept.
Like Earth now, even if Jia Yan knew it was his hometown, the town in his memories, in reality, after the devastation wrought by the Metal Monster and the vast changes he himself initiated ten years ago, followed by a ten-year gap, Earth was no longer the planet he knew.
There were things Jia Yan didnât want to admit, but he had to, that he himself had altered his hometown, and these changes were irreversible.
âSigh.â There were things that even Jia Yan felt helpless about.
Time passed this way, with Jia Yan solely protecting Jia Qi.
This situation made many people incredibly anxious, constantly checking in through communicators.
Jia Yan didnât mind reporting the current situation, realizing that these people only meant well for his niece.
He wasnât particularly fond or disdainful of the status of Jiaâs family, just felt it was a bit excessive, but he had no other thoughts.
After all, having his family be of distinguished status wasnât bad and his parents could get better medical care.
Ding Ling LingâŠ
As Jia Yan was observing the scenery in the sky, almost completely immersing his consciousness into cultivation, the school bell, signaling the end of classes, interrupted his thoughts.
Jia Yan lazily lifted his head, glanced at the scene before him, and smiled slightly.
âIt seems there are indeed some sneaky rats inside the Jia family.
I protect little Qiqi, and immediately there are forces moving in the shadows.â
It turned out that outside the school, a small sedan was parked at the gate, and at the moment, several fully armed individuals were inside the vehicle.
They stared tensely at the school entrance, seemingly ready to capture their target as soon as they appeared.
Jia Yan just casually observed the situation there; he didnât believe for a second that these people could harm his niece.
Not because of his power, but because the school itself had considerable combat power.
At a certain moment, Jia Qi and several elementary schoolmates walked out of the school, acting as ordinary as usual.
She pretended to be a normal girl and even sealed her Brainwave Power, not much different from a regular girl.
But just then, the door of the car burst open.
Seven fully armed combatants charged out.
The scene immediately filled with screams and cries; the sight was so shocking that some students fainted.
These armed individuals didnât seem to care about the chaos.
For them, the more chaotic, the better.
At that moment, these trained individuals directly approached Jia Qi and the group of girls, with one of them even trying to point a gun at Jia Qi.
Pfft!
The firearm in his hand twisted oddly!
Upon seeing this, Jia Qi used her Brainwave Power.
Dada dada!
However, another fully armed individual at this moment opened fire on Jia Qiâs classmates.
And his bullets strangely made a turn mid-air, hitting the ground instead.
Little Qiqi, seeing this, immediately understood who was intervening.
âBad guy, come out now, or else Iâm telling mom not to pay you.â She grabbed two classmates, who were already terrified, and hurried toward a road on the side.
The armed individuals also realized that there must be a strong expert acting in secret, perhaps even the one the informants had warned about.
However, these individuals couldnât believe that there was an Earth Level existence among them that could easily defeat them!
Jia Qi ran quickly, gripping the arms of her two classmates.
âXiao Qi, what exactly is going on?â
The two still couldnât understand what happened, particularly being pointed at with a gun and even hearing shots fired.
At this moment, both girls were immensely frightened.
âDonât worry, thereâs someone very powerful who will definitely protect us,â Jia Qi panted out.
âJia Qi, Iâm asking what happened, why are there so many bad guys?â One girl suddenly shook off Jia Qiâs hand, looking at Jia Qi, seemingly afraid to get too close to her.
Jia Qi was taken aback, then shook her head.
âXiao Juan, didnât you once think that I was from Jiaâs family?
Let me tell you, I really am from Jiaâs family, and I am indeed the Princess of the Jia Family, Grand Princess Jia Qi.
These villains must have come to capture me.â
âYou are Princess Jia Qi?
Is that really true?â The little girl who had just brushed off Jia Qi asked incredulously.
âOf course, itâs true, could it be that you donât believe me?
But I am still me!
We used to be good friends and will continue to be friends in the future,â Jia Qi approached the girl.
âHa-ha, Princess Jia Qi, I could never match up to you, but my boss would be very happy to befriend you.
Letâs go,â the young girl suddenly changed her expression and grabbed Jia Qiâs arm firmly.
âYou?â Jia Qi was truly horrified this time; she saw another girl student on the other side whose face turned ugly, as it seemed she too was witnessing this scene for the first time.
So this student, who she had played with for so long, was actually an undercover agent sent by another familyâs power?
Jia Qiâs arm was held by her, trying to break free, but she found she couldnât use her Brainwave Power at all.
âSurprised, Jia Qi?
This is a Brainwave Power Limiter invented by our organization.
You canât break free.
Be good and come with me.
Under this deviceâs influence, even your powerful bodyguard wonât be able to exert any combat power,â the girl yanked on a chain she held, and Jia Qi, much weaker, was pulled away.
The other girl was now crying, shocked by the scene before her.
She was truly just an ordinary child, and seeing her two playmates, one turning out to be the esteemed Princess of the Jia Family and the other the villain trying to capture the little princess, she was overwhelmed.
âOh, I forgot about you, Wang Yutian, my dear friend.
Letâs meet again in the next life,â Xiao Juan then turned to the girl at the side, revealing a cruel smile.
Then she took out a handgun from her backpack, aimed at the girl, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Jia Qi watched the gun at this moment; her mouth opened, and even the words âDonâtâ seemed incredibly slow, too late to be voiced.
In this moment of desperation, she forgot everythingâher unreliable father, her mother with no combat power, and even those great Sky-level Strong ones from Earth, who would respect her immensely, were no match for a name from her childhood memories.
She had grown up hearing this name, although many said this being was a monster, huge and akin to the much-loathed mosquito.
But she had always, always admired this being.
And she had always referred to him asâŠ
âUncle Jiu!â Jia Qi shouted loudly!
At that moment, the fired bullet soared, heading towards Jia Qiâs favorite friend.
Jia Qi was in despair; she was an Earth-level expert, and while her Brainwave Power was restrained, her reflexes still allowed her to see the faint trail of the bullet, now with a trace of flowing light, heading towards her best friend.
But just thenâŠ
A figure in black clothes, faster than the bullet and more terrifying than any, sprouted out, more powerful than any Earth people!
Puff!!!!
The bullet that was about to hit her friendâs forehead was caught in the hand of the figure.
The smell of gunpowder lingered, the tremor of the firing bullet filled the space, but the arrival of this figure overpowered the sound of the bullet.
He stood with his back to Jia Qi, gently opened his hand, and a flattened bullet fell straight to the ground.
TinglingâŠ
The sound was very crisp.
âWho are you?â The shock was evident on the face of the girl holding Jia Qi; to her, this figure seemed to have appeared suddenly, as her strength was not at the Earth level, just a trained girl with greater power than ordinary people.
âUncle Jiu?
Uncle Jiu?âŠâ
Tears were still in Jia Qiâs eyes, unable to discern the figure, but relying on the powerful silhouette and that sense of security so faint yet familiar from memories, she felt that this newcomer must truly be her âUncle Jiuâ.
She whispered softly, the sight before her merging with those deep childhood memories.
He must be my Uncle Jiu!
Yes, it must be Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu always comes to save Qiqi.
This was Uncle Jiu, who Qiqi had loved from her childhood!
As a child, this Uncle Jiu used to lift her high.
(Of course, she misremembered, she was actually tossed up high by Brainwave Power.)
As a child, she was taught by this Uncle Jiu to use Brainwave Power.
(Again, a faulty memory; she had merely learned to use Brainwave Power to pick up a milk carton from the ground.)
Jia Qiâs blurry childhood memories now seemed completely revived.
She remembered a young, handsome man, repeatedly holding her, always so kind to her, even powerful enough to physically enter the universe and rescue her from devils from space.
The final mention of a âblack monsterâ in everyoneâs words was switched in her memory to a man in blackâŠ
and this black clothing, now in front of her, merged perfectly with the image!
This was her most beloved Uncle Jiu!
âUncle Jiu!â The little girl cried out loud, tears and snot flowing freely.
