Chapter 617: Hopeless Future, Iron Juice
Seeing this, Kong felt helpless. What was going on? How could he come into contact with the official personnel as soon as he landed on the island? There was no such operation before. Kong was full of depression, as if he was shrouded by a dark cloud, and his mood was extremely depressed. But he also knew that there was no other way at the moment, just like a bird trapped in a cage, he could only bite the bullet and face it all, there was no other choice.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Since we have contacted the authorities, they must have already done the work." Seeing Kong frowning, Lin Feng comforted him. Lin Feng was actually unsure. He didn't know whether this so-called communication would be effective or not, and whether it would be smooth sailing. But in order to reassure Kong, he could only say this first, just like giving Kong a reassurance pill. Thinking of this, Lin Feng smiled. Of course, nothing would happen. There would be a chance of something happening later. At least nothing would go wrong in the next few days.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Kong's extremely nervous mood was successfully relieved. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart. After making some preparations, he followed Thomas to the registration office of the outlying island. Along the way, Kong was still a little nervous, like a student who was about to take an exam, not knowing what would happen next. Various possible scenes kept appearing in his mind, and he was in a state of anxiety.
After arriving at the registration office, several people began to get busy. The registration office was bustling with people, and noisy sounds filled the entire space. The staff had serious expressions and meticulously checked various documents and items. Several people shuttled through the crowd, looking for the window to handle the registration. After some hard thinking, looking up various materials, and asking countless staff, they finally handed in everything they needed. Especially Thomas, that guy, Lin Feng felt very speechless about this. Obviously, all the procedures had been completed, but he still had to let his group wait there for a long time. Time passed by minute by minute. Lin Feng felt that this was really a waste of time, and every minute was like torture. Especially the 400,000 Mora, when he thought of taking out so much Mora at once, Lin Feng felt very distressed, as if his heart was being tugged. Those Mora were what they had accumulated with great effort, and they were gone in an instant, how could it not make people feel distressed. Especially when he saw the receptionist with a smile on his face, Lin Feng felt that he had been cheated. In his eyes, that smile was like a malicious hint. But it's a rip-off, it's just $400,000, just consider it as buying peace of mind. Although Inazuma is under so much pressure now that he's about to explode, he doesn't know how long this so-called peace of mind will last.
After finishing everything, Kong finally let out a long breath, with a tired look on his face. He felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, his legs were weak, as if he didn't even have the strength to stand. There was nothing he could do, he was just too tired, physically exhausted, and of course, the main thing was mental exhaustion. The rush along the way, coupled with the worry about the unknown, had kept him in a state of high tension. Compared with the mental exhaustion, the physical exhaustion didn't seem that serious at the moment. At least nothing strange had happened again, which was very good, he comforted himself in his heart.
After a short pause, Kong's IQ came back online. Thinking of Inazuma's situation and what he wanted, he felt that the road ahead was dark, as if he was in an endless night without a glimmer of light. So he couldn't help but complain, "In that case... the opportunity to meet General Raiden..." Kong's voice was full of helplessness and confusion. He naturally knew that in an environment like Inazuma with strict hierarchy and numerous rules, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to meet the high and mighty General Raiden, just like looking for a drop of water in the desert, with little hope.
Paimon also heard the hidden meaning of Sora's words and sighed softly. The sigh was like a feather, gently falling. "Yeah, it seems that it is already difficult for foreigners to survive in Inazuma..." It seems that meeting General Raiden is something that cannot be accomplished at all, as difficult as ascending to heaven. Paimon's eyes revealed a trace of despair. She was originally full of beautiful expectations for this journey, thinking that it would be as smooth as before, but the reality gave her a heavy blow, making her feel extremely frustrated, and the fire of hope in her heart seemed to be extinguished by cold water.
After hearing what Paimon said, Thomas instantly understood the purpose of their coming to Inazuma. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, his brows slightly frowned, and a solemn look in his eyes, "Is this the purpose of your trip? I see. Considering your status, it is indeed a "grand" goal. After all, General Thunder is the most noble and honorable existence, a god that all living beings can only look up to." Thomas' tone was full of awe. In his eyes, General Thunder was like the sun hanging high in the sky, shining brightly and out of reach. Of course, it was not very clear whether it was true or not.
After hearing Thomas' words, Kong felt mixed emotions, and helpless emotions surged like the tide. The current situation was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to get out. At this point, even if he was unwilling, he probably couldn't leave. Looking back, the way he came was covered by heavy fog, and in front of him, although the future was uncertain, he had no choice but to move forward.
“Even so... Even if we know it’s impossible, we have to find a way!” Kong gritted his teeth, and a determined light rekindled in his eyes.
Seeing that Sora was so determined, Thomas was really at a loss. He had been in this position for so many years and had met many different kinds of people, but this was the first time he had met someone like Sora who was so determined that he was almost stubborn, and who was pursuing something that seemed impossible. "I was going to say that encounters in this world are always unpredictable. Maybe you will run into the general on a certain afternoon when you are full of food and wine..." Thomas tried to ease the tense atmosphere in a relaxed way, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, forcing out a slightly far-fetched smile. But he knew in his heart that this possibility was like looking for a needle in the vast ocean, which was very small. He just wanted to use this joke to dilute the depressing atmosphere a little. After all, that was the Raiden General who never left the castle tower.
After hearing what Thomas said, Paimon was filled with disappointment and shook her head helplessly. She sighed softly, and the sound was like a feather falling, with endless melancholy, "Hmm... How low is the probability of something like what you said..." In Paimon's cognition, even if she picked up a huge sum of money on the road, such a lucky thing would be much more likely to happen than encountering General Thunder.
