Chapter 216 Can’t You Come Later?

Chapter 216 Can’t You Come Later?

The howling north wind blew in heavy snow. A white night owl with a wingspan of over two meters hovered outside the window, flapping its huge wings and making sharp cries from its mouth.

Jing sighed: "Can't you come later?"

Tuoba Qiong's shoulders moved slightly, then stopped.

We can't kill him if we keep him, so it's better to let him go far away, and it would be best if he never appears again.

In just such a short pause, Jing chuckled, turned around and jumped out of the wide open window. The strong wind blew up his baseball jacket, like a white dove flapping its wings.

The night owl opened its brown-yellow beak, and a circular high-frequency oscillating sound wave quickly pressed into the house like a wall. Tuoba Qiong erected a force field barrier and easily blocked the sound wave attack.

The night owl failed to hit its target, so it didn't want to fight any longer. It folded its wings, chirped, turned around and dived down.

Pei Junlin, who heard the noise, flashed to the window and several ice cones flew out of his hands. In the darkness, only the scream of pain from Night Owl was heard. He was about to summon a hurricane when a figure flashed by him. It was He Yang who chased after him.

Ai Wanxin and Yin Yanhan also returned to the house. Yin Yanhan glanced at Tuoba Qing with cold eyes. It was obvious that he had let the man go on purpose.

Not long after, He Yang flew back empty-handed. He landed in front of Ai Wanxin and shook his head, saying, "After escaping the suppression range of the gem, the man disappeared. Strangely, the bird also disappeared."

Ai Wanxin had guessed the situation outside to some extent: "Maybe he took her with him into hiding. But now I can be sure that he was the one who let the captured sentry go last night."

She didn't say a word to blame Tuoba Qiong for not keeping an eye on him, as if Jing's escape was completely unimportant to her. If she didn't say anything, naturally no one else would say anything.

As for everything Jing saw here, they didn't care whether he would tell others or not. After all, these things were not enough to shake Ai Wanxin in the slightest.

------------

The wind was strong and the snow was heavy. Two figures slowly emerged from the darkness on the roof of a residential building not far from the municipal building.

The tall man with short silver hair was the one who had just jumped off the tall building and disappeared into the night.

Next to him walked a young woman with long curly hair.

The woman covered her injured left shoulder. The white wings shrank behind her and merged back into her body. The white feathers on her neck disappeared into her skin like scales.

The two of them walked through the dark doorway and entered the unremarkable residential building in front of them.

In a house on the top floor, two men were sitting silently in the dark. When they saw them come in, they stood up.

Jing waved his hand casually, and a translucent black barrier covered the entire wall near the window like a curtain, so that no light could get out.

The burly man standing at the door crushed the wooden chair he had just sat on with one foot. He leaned over and gathered the wood into a pile of fire. Before he stepped back, a flame shot out from it and ignited the firewood.

The room lit up.

"Lanlan, are you hurt?" The burly man wiped his face and asked in a deep voice.

Ji Lanlan nodded with a bitter face: "Yes, Brother You, I clearly saw those people leave the room just now. Only one red-haired man was left, and I went down to save Jing. As a result, my sonic attack was easily blocked by him, and another person flew out to chase us. If Jing's ability had not recovered and the shadow channel had not been opened, I would definitely not be able to escape today. This injury was also caused by an ice cone from an unknown sentinel. They reacted too quickly, but don't worry, no vital injuries were done."

You Hongda took out the first aid kit and said, "Are Kang Baibo's men so powerful? You should have come back and asked us to help. This is too risky. Let's stop the bleeding first."

Ji Lanlan took the hemostatic needle and stabbed her neck herself: "Those people are not Kang Baibo's men. I watched them kill Kang Baibo."

Ever since Jing was caught, she transformed into a night owl and has been hovering around the municipal building, looking for an opportunity to rescue Jing.

Although she couldn't hear any sound in the house, she still saw most of what happened there.

At that time she didn't know where they would take Jing, and in a hurry she didn't have time to come back and call for support, so she rushed down.

The other middle-aged man just glanced at her, then turned to Jing and asked, "Where are the things?"

Jing's face was stern, completely different from the obedient and lovely appearance in front of Ai Wanxin. He said nonchalantly, "I didn't get it."

The middle-aged man frowned fiercely: "Why did you come back if you didn't get it? Do you want me to report to the leader that the mission failed?"

Jing's eyes fell on his face, and his voice was teasing: "What's the problem?"

The middle-aged man couldn't stand the fact that he was so young and yet he relied on his ability to look down on others. He suppressed his anger and said, "There is never a mission that we, the Hunting Team, cannot complete."

Jing shrugged nonchalantly: "Well, you have it now."

"You!" The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly. The bonfire on the ground suddenly jumped up one meter. The rolling heat waves hit everyone's faces, but Jing's eyes didn't even blink for a moment.

Ji Lanlan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Brother Qiao, this mission is too difficult. After all, it's something that can suppress superpowers. The previous teams not only failed in their missions, but no one even made it out alive. It's normal that we didn't get it."

Qiao Fengyu waved her hand, indicating that it was none of her business.

"If he hadn't changed his plan on his own initiative and wanted to rescue people, how could he have alerted the enemy?"

"His invisibility ability is completely different from the abilities of ordinary sentinels. He sneaked into Kang Baibo's room at night and took away the target item while he was unconscious after taking drugs. How could he not be able to complete such a simple action?"

"The reason why this mission failed is because he always acted on his own, was arrogant, and did not follow the plan."

"His mistake made all of our surveillance for so many days go to waste. I will never tolerate such a bad apple staying in the team."

"I will report this matter truthfully, and he must take full responsibility for it. Whatever punishment he receives, it will be his own fault."

The burly man advised: "Brother Qiao, even if Jing made a mistake, we can just organize another operation. There is no need to report it, right?"

Ji Lanlan also advised: "Yes, Brother Qiao, and Jing's stealth ability will also be suppressed. This is because I didn't do my intelligence work well. You can't blame Jing."

Qiao Fengyu sneered, "If you want to take the blame on yourself, I won't stop you. How will the Corps punish the mercenaries who made mistakes? You don't need me to recall for you, right?"

Ji Lanlan thought of those mercenaries who were "destroyed" because of mission failure, and a trace of fear appeared in her eyes.
