The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 250 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

"Senior Brother...!" The moment Ye Xuan opened her eyes, she immediately saw Ye Shang's bright and sunny smiling face.

However, the next second she suddenly realized a shocking fact—she was actually lying in Ye Shang's warm embrace!

This sudden situation made her gasp in surprise.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see your senior brother?" Ye Shang asked softly with a slight smile on his lips.

"No...no, it's just that I had a dream just now. I went back to when I was a child, and I even saw my mother." Ye Xuan's voice sounded a little uncertain, as if even she herself was puzzled by the reality of the dream.

"Oh? I see. You must have been too tired lately, so you accidentally fell asleep and started dreaming."

"Don't think too much about it. Let's go back to the apartment and get some rest." Ye Shang gently comforted Ye Xuan. Before he finished speaking, he didn't give Ye Xuan any chance to react. He stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly in a princess carry. Then he strode towards the exit of the wetland park.

Startled by Ye Shang's sudden action, Ye Xuan couldn't help but exclaim again.

But then her fair and delicate cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

Overwhelmed with shyness, she could only bury her head deep in Ye Shang's broad and sturdy chest like an ostrich, no longer daring to raise her head to face the gazes of those around her, and unable to utter a single word.

And just a short while after the two of them turned and left.

A figure slowly emerged from behind a large tree not far away.

The newcomer was Ye Zhuo. His once deep and sharp eyes were now burning like raging flames as he stared intently at Ye Shang's receding figure.

It turned out that after Ye Zhuo finished explaining the task to the Minotaur in detail, he did not rush to leave as usual.

Instead, he chose to hide in a secluded spot not far away, quietly observing the progress of the mission.

However, to his utter surprise, it was precisely this unintentional stop and observation that led to this.

The Wizard he had been searching for for so many days had actually appeared here!

Then, when Ye Zhuo saw Wizard easily defeat the Minotaur Phantom, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming surge of excitement.

Without hesitation, he reached for the Phoenix Sword, a strong fighting spirit surging within him, eager to rush out and challenge Wizard.

But just as he was about to take action, the words Medusa had said to him before she left suddenly echoed in his mind.

At first, Ye Zhuo didn't take these words to heart, but now, after careful consideration, he began to realize that this was likely a message that Medusa was conveying to him on behalf of the Sage.

Just thinking about the sage's chilling methods made Ye Zhuo's body tremble slightly involuntarily.

Despite his resentment, reason ultimately prevailed over impulse. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Shang cleanly and efficiently dealt with the giant scorpion magic aggregate, and then left unharmed with Ye Xuan.

But there was nothing he could do!

.................................................. .....

With the departure of those two groups of people, this remote corner of the wetland park has finally returned to its former tranquil and peaceful state.

Just as night fell silently, a deafening roar shattered the tranquility—a helicopter belonging to the Ming Dynasty military, resembling a steel behemoth, slowly landed in this open space, its lights gleaming in the night sky.

The cabin door opened, and a middle-aged man with the rank of major and a serious expression stepped out of the cabin first.

His brows were furrowed, and his face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. Behind him followed a squad of soldiers in black combat uniforms.

The group hurriedly and meticulously cleaned the entire scene, but the result was a great disappointment to them—it had obviously been cleaned up in advance, leaving not a single useful clue.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man picked up the internal phone and quickly dialed an internal number.

"We were too late. The place had already been thoroughly cleaned up by others, and there was nothing of value to be found."

A deep voice responded from the other end of the phone: "Hmm... I actually expected this, but I didn't expect them to act so quickly."

"First, have someone check the surrounding area for any other possible surveillance devices, then call it a day and come back."

Upon receiving the instructions, the middle-aged man dared not delay and immediately began to carry them out.

After everything was arranged, he put away his phone and stood there thoughtfully.

After a brief pause, he took out his personal cell phone from his pocket and skillfully dialed a number.

................................

The call was answered quickly.

"The Secret Service's actions have become increasingly excessive lately. They're overstepping their bounds. If this continues, we'll be in a very passive position."

"Do you think you could try to contact the authorities in the capital and put some pressure on them so they'll behave themselves?"

After saying this, the middle-aged man waited quietly for the other party's reply.

However, there was only a suffocating silence on the other end of the phone. As time ticked by, his heart sank deeper and deeper…

Not long after, the other side finally responded.

"Well, we can give it a try, but it might not work. I'll personally go there to oversee things, so don't get involved!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up abruptly.

Then, Quan Jin slowly put down his phone, a deep green light flashing in his eyes as he gazed thoughtfully at the endless night outside the window.

The night sky was dotted with stars, but they could not illuminate the darkness in his heart.

At this moment, his mood was as heavy and complicated as the pitch-black night.
