250: Chapter 249 Dramatic Change

"I just can't believe that Director He, an 8th-level powerhouse, actually died so inexplicably."

Xu Shuya said in confusion: "And given our situation at the time, it seemed we encountered the Night Demon's Domain again. But before that, we had already received the prompt that the mission was completed, so it couldn't have been the Night Demon..."

As she spoke, Xu Shuya recalled the scene from that moment.

The darkness had only lasted for a few seconds.

When the light returned, He Jun had suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving behind only some clothes and personal items, while everything else had disappeared into thin air.

Every time Xu Shuya thought of such a bizarre scene, she couldn't help but shiver.

Chu Xuan shrugged: "Perhaps the one who killed the Night Demon and the one who killed Director He are the same person?"

"You mean the person who slew the Night Demon also obtained a similar Night Domain?"

Xu Shuya frowned: "But what I don't understand is, since that mysterious powerhouse killed the Night Demon and saved Haicheng, they must be human like us, so why kill Director He?"

Tan Ziming chimed in: "Director He has always been easygoing, never competing with others, and he acts with caution. He shouldn't have offended anyone."

Chu Xuan chuckled: "Who knows? Maybe Director He did something that angered both man and god, and you two just aren't aware of it."

Xu Shuya sighed softly and stopped talking. She and Tan Ziming turned and walked toward the crew section ahead.

"Shuya, do you think it could have been Chu Xuan?"

Tan Ziming discreetly pinched a black button on his collar and asked via spirit communication: "Chu Xuan is also suspected of having an S-rank Specter inside him, which does align with this."

"Probably not."

Xu Shuya also pinched the black button and shook her head imperceptibly:

"If Chu Xuan were capable of this, it would mean his body had been completely taken over by the S-rank Specter. But if that were the case, Haicheng would have long been covered by a new Forbidden Domain, and we wouldn't have been able to leave alive."

"But his words just now clearly had a lot of ambiguity..." Tan Ziming frowned.

"The matter of Director He fleeing in the face of battle must have already spread throughout the Haicheng Night Watchers. It's normal to have some emotional baggage when speaking about it."

Xu Shuya shook her head and said: "Regardless, we should just focus on our own duties. We absolutely must not do anything to provoke him. Otherwise, if he gets emotionally agitated and causes his S-rank Specter to act up, we'll be in big trouble!"

Tan Ziming nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I understand."

"Mm, as long as we reach the capital, our mission will be complete. Someone else will naturally handle Chu Xuan's situation, so we don't need to worry about it."

Xu Shuya continued: "However, we need to have more contact and interaction with Tang Zheng. His Fighting God Talent has strong explosive power; even the Azure Dragon could be suppressed by him for a minute. When the Seed Project begins in three days, he will definitely shine brightly. We need to build a relationship with him in advance..."

Bang!!!

Xu Shuya hadn't finished speaking when a muffled sound suddenly rang out. The plane at high altitude began to shake violently, and the lights inside clicked and flickered, alternating between bright and dim.

Exclamations came from all around.

Fortunately, although most of the accompanying inspectors were ordinary people, they had received relevant training. After a brief moment of panic, they quickly calmed down.

However, this violent turbulence was like a rocking chair, making everyone feel incredibly uncomfortable. Tan Ziming gritted his teeth and shouted toward the front: "What's going on?"

A voice came over the intercom: "The plane is experiencing severe turbulence. Please fasten your seatbelts..."

Bang!

Another muffled sound rang out, and the plane shook even more violently.

In response, Chu Xuan was not panicked at all; instead, his eyes gleamed.

It's finally here...

Wait!

Chu Xuan suddenly looked up and was shocked to find that at some point, a huge bulge had appeared on the cabin ceiling, as if something from outside the plane had violently struck it, leaving a deep indentation.

"Oh no, something outside is attacking us!" Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming also noticed this and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Large areas of the ceiling caved in, followed by heavy sounds from below. Looking out the porthole, however, nothing could be seen.

"Damn it! Whatever it is, I'm going out there to kill them!" Tang Zheng cursed angrily, gritted his teeth, and wanted to go out and fight for his life.

"Wait!" Chu Xuan stopped Tang Zheng and said coldly: "How are you going to go out there? We're over ten thousand meters up; going out means death. Even with your Fighting God Talent, you'd probably fall to your death!"

"But we can't just sit here and wait to die, right?" Tang Zheng said anxiously: "Even if I die alone, it's better than all of us dying here!"

Chu Xuan frowned deeply.

Just then, although the violent turbulence continued, the heavy crashing sounds vanished. Suddenly, someone pointed out the porthole and exclaimed loudly: "Oh my god! What... what is this?"

Chu Xuan also looked out at this moment and was shocked to discover a huge flying creature, seen only in movies and textbooks, chasing them with its wings spread, not far from the porthole.

Its slender torso was connected to a disproportionately large head, as well as even more astonishing wings, with a wingspan of over ten meters.

Its beak was long and narrow, like a spear.

"Holy crap! Is that a pterosaur?"

Behind this pterosaur, a bright moon hung high in the sky, exaggeratedly huge, as if the moon had been shoved right in front of them, making the clouds below as bright as day.

Everyone stared blankly out the window, all incredibly shocked, seeing several pterosaurs chasing behind the plane, their hearts jumping into their throats.

Just as they were about to be caught up to, the plane suddenly shook even more violently, and those pterosaurs abruptly disappeared from everyone's sight.

It was as if they had never appeared at all.

Not only were the pterosaurs gone, but the moon in the sky and the surrounding clouds also returned to normal at this moment.

"Ten thousand meters in the air... pterosaurs... I'm not dreaming, am I..."

Tan Ziming looked horrified, then suddenly asked toward the front: "Where are we? We should be close to the capital, right?"

"All navigation tools have failed..."

A voice came from the front. Tan Ziming and Xu Shuya were both shocked and were about to head to the cockpit when the plane suddenly spun out of control, making it impossible to stand.

Even though Tan Ziming and Xu Shuya were already 5th-level and their physical attributes had been greatly improved, they were still knocked about dizzyingly.

They hurriedly took advantage of a lull to sit in their seats and fasten their seatbelts.

"That... what is that?! Where have we arrived?"

Everyone discovered with immense terror that the giant moon was hanging high once again.

The pterosaurs were gone, but in the pitch-black sea of clouds below, huge waves seemed to be rolling. A moment later, an incomparably huge tentacle struck across from the side.

The tentacle, at a rough glance, was nearly a thousand meters long, blotting out the sky and the moon.

The plane everyone was riding in appeared incredibly tiny and fragile.

A suffocating feeling of unparalleled intensity pressed in on them.

Everyone's faces turned pale.

And in the very next instant, suddenly light and shadow flashed, and everything returned to normal again. The plane seemed to have returned to its original place.

The plane continued to shake incessantly, with light and shadow flickering, as if it were constantly shuttling between two worlds.

"Chu Xuan, what do we do?" Tang Zheng asked repeatedly.

"Chu Xuan, has your Heavenly Secret given you any guidance? What should we do?" Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming also shouted at Chu Xuan, asking.

"Fasten your seatbelts, hold onto the handles, I'm going to sleep for a while!" Chu Xuan said in a deep voice, his gaze falling on the rapidly jumping time on his phone screen.

Just a moment ago, it hadn't even been midnight, but now it was already six o'clock the next morning, yet it felt like only about half an hour had passed.

Chu Xuan didn't know if this was caused by magnetic field interference or abnormal time flow.

In any case, he had to try and see if he could enter a dream and contact [Future Tang Zheng].
