Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted. He reached out with lightning speed and grabbed the smooth fuselage. At the same time, a burst of darkness erupted from him, creating a small dent on the surface of the fuselage.
With his fingertips gripping the indentation, Lin Qiye managed to steady himself. Then, with a flick of his other hand, he sent the unconscious A'Zhu back to the mental hospital.
"This kid is a bit unreliable; he almost lost his life." Lin Qiye looked down and saw that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
I've never been on a plane before in my life, and I never imagined that my first close encounter with an airplane would be in such a deadly way!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The plane has already taken off. Cangnan City is not large, and at the current speed, it will pass through the ceremony area in at most one minute. If nothing unexpected happens, the pilot in the cabin has been taken control of by the tavern owner. After entering the ceremony area, the plane will circle in the air until the ceremony ends.
He needed to find An Qingyu as soon as possible and then get into the cabin.
Lin Qiye stretched out his left hand again and drew a summoning spell in mid-air. Soon, a silver Rubik's Cube appeared in his hand and slowly rotated.
"This time it's up to you. I hope you won't be as unreliable as A'Zhu," Lin Qiye murmured, slowly closing his eyes.
The next moment, the Chaos Cube in his hand shone brightly, and the surrounding space was instantly disrupted. Lin Qiye's figure moved three times from the tail of the machine, directly to the lower part of the fuselage.
When his figure appeared out of thin air next to An Qingyu, the latter was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Qiye grabbed his collar, and the space became disordered again.
By the time An Qingyu came to his senses, the two of them were already in the lavatory inside the cabin.
An Qingyu looked around blankly, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Lin Qiye: "You can teleport? Is this the ability of the forbidden artifact on you?"
An Qingyu didn't think about anything else. In his memory, Lin Qiye didn't have any such forbidden artifacts, so this strange spatial distortion must be the power of some forbidden object on his body.
Lin Qiye didn't answer his question, but instead turned on his headset and spoke in a low voice:
"I infiltrated the target aircraft."
"Well done, Qiye!" Hongying's voice came through the channel. "We didn't have time; now we can only follow the plane in a car."
On the deserted street, a black van was speeding along at full speed. Hongying sat in the driver's seat, looking up at the planes flying past ahead, and suddenly drifted into a side road.
Wu Xiangnan, sitting in the passenger seat, had a look of heroic sacrifice on his face, gripping the handle on the roof of the car tightly, as if it were the last straw that could save his life.
Si Xiaonan sat in the back seat, closed her eyes, and swayed with the car like a doll, having completely given up resisting.
"Qiye, you're the only one left on the plane now. The mission to rescue Wen Qimo and the other passengers falls entirely on your shoulders." Chen Muye's voice was extremely solemn.
"I know this is incredibly difficult for someone like you who has just graduated, but we have no other choice..."
The plane was too far from the ground. Even if the members of Squad 136 wanted to help Lin Qiye, it would be difficult to do so. Moreover, there were hundreds of lives on board. If anything went wrong, the result would be a crash and the loss of everyone.
Not only that, the wreckage from the crashed plane will also fall into residential buildings, causing a large number of deaths!
"Received."
Lin Qiye's calm voice came through the channel again.
Upon hearing this calm reply, Hongying gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter until her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were fixed on the plane flying across the sky, filled with worry.
Not only her, but everyone in the 136th squad was on tenterhooks.
Ultimately, Lin Qiye was just an ordinary newcomer who had just graduated from the "Pool" Realm. It was too dangerous for him to face such a difficult task alone.
Just then, Lin Qiye seemed to remember something, and his voice rang out again:
"Oh right, I've never had a chance to tell you... actually, Xiao Chen came in first place and I'm on the second place when we graduated from the training camp."
After saying that, Lin Qiye took off his headset and put it in his pocket.
He looked up and saw An Qingyu staring at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiye asked, puzzled.
"Do you usually like to show off like this?" An Qingyu hesitated for a moment before speaking seriously, "To be honest, it's a bit forced."
Lin Qiye:...
Lin Qiye ignored An Qingyu's teasing, pushed open the toilet door, and walked out.
His mental power had already allowed him to perceive the surrounding environment clearly. As he entered the cabin, he found that the passengers showed no signs of tension. On the contrary, there were excited voices from many children. The atmosphere in the cabin was far more lively than Lin Qiye had imagined.
Only a few people were looking out the window, seemingly puzzled as to why the plane hadn't taken off yet.
Lin Qiye looked thoughtful as he saw the scene before him.
It seems that the tavern owner did not hijack the entire plane as Lin Qiye had imagined, but instead took control of the pilot in the cockpit without the passengers' knowledge.
An Qingyu then came out. He could vaguely sense that the people around him looked at the two men as they walked out of the restroom together with strange expressions.
He completely ignored the stares and calmly asked, "In the driver's seat?"
"It should be." Lin Qiye nodded and walked directly towards the nose of the plane.
As he walked, Lin Qiye kept glancing out the window; the plane was about to enter the ceremony area.
"The flight attendants should have been apprehended as well," An Qingyu said calmly. "We walked directly through half the plane. Logically, flight attendants should have come to guide us back to our seats long ago, but they didn't."
Lin Qiye nodded in agreement; in his mental perception, there was no flight attendant present.
The two walked through the first-class cabin to the front of the plane, where a blue-gray curtain separated the front from the first-class cabin, blocking the view of other passengers.
Inside the first-class cabin, a few passengers lay on their seats, dozing off.
An Qingyu did not rush forward by pulling back the curtain, but turned to look at Lin Qiye. Lin Qiye shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The flight attendants have all been taken into custody, behind this curtain, but the situation inside the cockpit is somewhat unexpected..." Lin Qiye frowned slightly.
"Besides the tavern owner, there were two other 'mysterious' beings by his side. One of them looked like a 'Ten-Cut Ghost Child,' and the other was sealed in crystal and was on the verge of death."
