CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 345: XIAO BO

Nan Xi is back, not only did she drive back a car, but she also brought back a person!

"Xiao Bo!!!"

Lin Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise when she saw the person Nan Xi brought back.

Lin Xiaoyan knew this person; he was the soldier assigned to drive them around when she was at the military base with Shiyi and the others, Xiao Bo.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, long time no see," Xiao Bo said, standing at attention and saluting Lin Xiaoyan.

When Xiao Bo saw He Qi’an coming out of the kitchen, he was momentarily stunned but quickly came to his senses and saluted He Qi’an.

He Qi’an was also momentarily stunned upon seeing Xiao Bo.

Nan Xi said, "The bureau said there were only two of us, so they’ve arranged for a driver and bodyguard for us."

Lin Xiaoyan and He Qi’an nodded in understanding, but...

"Xiao Bo, weren’t you at the base? How come you’re assigned to be my driver?" Lin Xiaoyan asked with some confusion.

Xiao Bo scratched his head and laughed, "My service term ended, I applied for a transfer, and it just so happened the bureau needed someone, so here I am."

Lin Xiaoyan said, "Alright, then for the upcoming journey, we’ll rely on you."

Lin Xiaoyan invited Xiao Bo to sit down, "Let’s eat first, today we are in for a treat, with Captain He cooking!"

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo looked at He Qi’an in surprise, only to see him gazing at Lin Xiaoyan affectionately.

After the four of them finished eating, they gathered around, looking at a map of Hua Country.

"I was hoping to go back for An’an’s full-month banquet!" Lin Xiaoyan said, looking at the map’s route.

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, He Qi’an looked at the map and revised the route.

"It doesn’t really matter, the bureau arranged for you to visit every place, but it’s not mandatory.

Before An’an’s full-month banquet, you can just go back directly, don’t worry about the route," He Qi’an said.

Nan Xi also said, "Yes, and you don’t have to discover something in every city. Your superpower is passive, triggered randomly, so don’t be too stressed."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded after hearing this, "I understand, but I feel like if I don’t do something, I’d be letting the bureau down for paying me."

He Qi’an chuckled as he ruffled his girlfriend’s hair, "Do you know how much others in the Special Investigation Bureau earn from side jobs each time?"

Lin Xiaoyan said, "Don’t say, I don’t want to know!"

Having experienced the trip in Beijing last time, she could somewhat guess.

Anyway, it’s more than her salary!

"So don’t feel pressured, just take it as a trip," He Qi’an said.

"Alright," Lin Xiaoyan replied.

Lin Xiaoyan stayed in Sea City for two days, buying some daily necessities and items needed on the road.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo even went to the Special Investigation Bureau to pick up some self-defense weapons.

Once everything was ready, they prepared to set off.

However, the night before departure, Lin Xiaoyan came across a video.

In the video, someone filmed during a rainy day when suddenly lightning struck, revealing a dragon’s shadow in the sky.

The video was posted only half an hour ago and instantly went viral, getting more and more shares.

The appearance of this video seemed to be a signal.

More and more "peculiar" pictures and videos surfaced.

More bizarre stories and events appeared.

Even some "talented people," "Daoists," "witches," "Miaojiang Great Priests," "witches," "Spirit Communicators," "Treasure Hunters," "Tomb Raiders" suddenly emerged.

Lin Xiaoyan watched these videos, puzzled as to why the state didn’t shut down these accounts.

She thought for a moment, took a screenshot of the video, and sent it to Shi Wu, asking if something had happened.

Shi Wu quickly replied with a voice message.

Lin Xiaoyan opened the voice message. At first, she heard Shi Wu’s panting voice.

Then she heard Shi Wu say, "Because some things are coming into the world, and the five-hundred-year agreement they signed with Hua Country is about to expire...

All these years, we’ve been trying to control and stop them, but you know, those things are too strong and hide well.

Once the agreement expires, Spiritual Energy will gradually revive, and those things will emerge.

To avoid causing panic, the state has to slowly let the public know..."

After listening to Shi Wu, a wave of panic surged in Lin Xiaoyan’s heart.

If all those things come out, what will become of this world?

Before Lin Xiaoyan could express her fears, Shi Wu sent another message.

"Don’t worry, now talents all over the country have been deployed to stop those things from acting recklessly.

We’re doing our best to control and suppress them.

Negotiate if possible, eliminate if not!"

After Shi Wu said these, there was no further message.

Lin Xiaoyan replied, "Got it, you all stay safe."

After replying, Lin Xiaoyan put down her phone and walked to the window, looking at the dark sky, recalling what Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu had said before.

Thinking about what Shiyi and the others had said, about how both the Beijing Special Investigation Bureau and the Sea City bureau were deserted...

All of this was foretelling something.

Lin Xiaoyan looked down at the cars and pedestrians coming and going below.

In the face of those things, humans are so fragile, like ants.

Hope, now all that can be done is hope for peace between humans and those things!

Lin Xiaoyan closed the window, turned around, and sighed, her mind was filled only with thoughts of family.

She clearly knew she was not some savior, she just hoped that when danger came, her family, her love, and the people she knew could all be safe and sound.

She admitted she was selfish, she couldn’t sacrifice herself, she couldn’t put the world first, or consider others’ safety.

Lin Xiaoyan was still somewhat anxious, she stood up, went across to find He Qi’an.

At that moment, He Qi’an was about to sleep, sending a message to his girlfriend to say goodnight.

The message had just been sent when the doorbell rang.

"Yanyan?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan come looking for him in her pajamas, He Qi’an’s heart raced.

"You..." He Qi’an began to speak, but Lin Xiaoyan suddenly hugged him.

Is this... offering herself to him?

He Qi’an was delighted, could this be a hint?

They were already engaged, now their status was of fiancé and fiancée, so now... can they?

He Qi’an hesitated for a second, then decisively closed the door, ready to pick up his fiancée, but suddenly his arms were empty.

"Qi An, if one day the world becomes very dangerous, where should we run?"

He Qi’an: ??????

"What do you mean?" He Qi’an was a bit confused, so this girl wasn’t here to... ahem.

Noticing Lin Xiaoyan’s low spirits, he pulled her hand, and they sat down.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
