Chapter 1299 Murder
Gold and silver chains appeared, connecting the surrounding space like a spider web, and for a moment, space and time seemed to stand still.
The energy blockade then developed gaps.
"Sister Shi Lan, there!" Shi Jia flashed and rushed towards the gap.
Shi Lan, disregarding her shock, transformed into a streak of light and followed.
"Crack!" After Shi Jia and the other person left, the spacetime shackles failed, and the energy blockade collapsed as well. Two figures wearing white cloaks emerged from the shadows.
"He actually mastered the shackles of time and space; no wonder he took a liking to him." The voice was hoarse, filled with malice.
"What do we do now? Should we chase after them?" the other person asked.
"No need, the Grand Elder is already guarding the spatial gap."
……
"Phew~" Shi Lan patted her wildly beating heart and looked nervously at the people inside the teleportation station. "They didn't follow, we're safe."
Shi Jia's face was somewhat pale. The Plane Management Bureau was under the suppression of laws, and using the Spacetime Shackles had consumed a great deal of energy. "Well, Sister Shi Lan, let's go back to our clan's territory first."
"Wait, let's report this to the Defense Division of the Administration Bureau first." Shi Lan said with a cold and stern expression, "We've gotten into trouble here, and the Defense Division must give us an explanation."
"Do they really think we, the Time Clan, are easy targets?" Shi Lan opened his personal terminal and started contacting people.
Shi Jia immediately thought of her connections within the Dimensional Management Bureau. Her eyes darted around, and she opened Ao Zhou Venerable's chat page, sending him her account of the incident. Whether the latter was busy or simply didn't care about someone as insignificant as her, Shi Jia received no reply.
Shi Jia was somewhat disappointed. "Sister Shi Lan, what did the Defense Department say?"
"They're coming right away." As soon as Shi Lan finished speaking, two cool flying cars appeared outside the teleportation station. Six guards, each about two meters tall and exuding an imposing aura, stepped out of the flying cars.
“Lord Shi Lan.” The captain of the defense team, Ouyang, clearly recognized Shi Lan.
"The defense officer is indeed impressive." Shi Lan didn't give them a friendly look, and the defense officers' faces flashed with displeasure. "Lord Shi Lan, please take us to the place where you were killed. After we have investigated, we will definitely compensate you both."
"Compensation from the Defense Department? I'm not worthy of such a thing." Shi Lan sneered. "Let's go. Hopefully, when we encounter an energy blockade, the Defense Officer can control the situation!"
Ouyang frowned, utterly disliking Shi Lan—she was far too presumptuous! She didn't know what was good for her! Hmph, if they didn't find anything later, he would definitely give Shi Lan a piece of his mind!
But clearly, he no longer has that opportunity.
As they approached the location, the energy detectors they were carrying sounded an alarm. The defense officers' expressions changed drastically, and they all took out their instruments to investigate.
"There is dark energy and residual spacetime energy."
"Captain, there's a 20-minute gap in the surrounding surveillance footage."
Ouyang's expression turned serious. "A 20-minute blank period, and the mainframe didn't issue an alarm?" That's impossible. Within the Dimensional Management Bureau, the mainframe is an omniscient and omnipotent god.
"Yes, Captain, you forgot that the mainframe was attacked by the Dark Universe System an hour ago, and its computing power was restricted." So it's normal to overlook the monitoring of a small area.
"Hiss!" Ouyang slapped his forehead. "I was in such a hurry that I forgot. But what a coincidence!" He couldn't help but suspect, with a conspiracy theory in mind, that the two things might be related.
Ouyang shook his head, realizing he was overthinking things. How could Shi Lan and her sister, two ordinary members of the Time Clan, possibly be related to the Dark Universe?
Besides, the people of the Dark Universe must have had their brains eaten by the Shadow Bugs to attack the Time Clan! The Time Clan, after all, are beings that influence the development of the universe to a certain extent!
Sorting aside his chaotic thoughts, Ouyang walked up to Shi Lan and the other person. "Lord Shi Lan, and this person—"
"My name is Shi Jia."
"—Lord Shi Jia, regarding your murder, the situation may be more complicated than we imagined, and we may not have any leads in the short term." Ouyang's face flushed, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face. He took a deep breath, "However, since you have discovered this, our Defense Division will investigate this matter thoroughly and will definitely give you an explanation—" "Hmph, as expected, the Defense Division is just a figurehead." Shi Lan said bluntly.
Ouyang's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly: Damn it!
Seeing the defense officer's dark expression, Shi Jia felt a pang of pity and tugged at Shi Lan, "Sister Shi Lan, after all, the person who dared to attack us at the headquarters of the Dimensional Management Bureau is definitely not an ordinary being. Why don't we give the defense department some time? Should we go back first?"
She is currently depleted of energy and wants to return to her clan's territory to cultivate as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's go." Shi Lan didn't even glance at Ouyang, and turned to leave with Shi Jia in her arms.
Once they were a distance away, Shi Jia couldn't help but ask Shi Lan if she had a grudge against the defense officer.
Shi Lan shook her head. "We Time Clan rarely travel outside. If I don't act assertively, they'll bully us."
"Those people actually dared to attack us here. Don't they think we, the Time Clan, are easy targets?" Shi Lan said angrily.
Shi Jia remained silent upon hearing this. She had a feeling that today's attack was aimed at her. Shi Jia reached out and touched the crystal crown on her head—no, it should be called the Heart of Time!
From the words of the ancestor of Lichun and the ancestor of Guxi, we know that this thing has an extraordinary origin and may be a companion of a certain god ancestor!
Sigh~ I can't really say whether getting this thing is a blessing or a curse.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Shi Lan noticed Shi Jia's low spirits.
"No, I was just thinking that if even the Dimensional Administration Bureau isn't safe, where else is safe?" Shi Jia said casually.
"The Dimensional Administration Bureau is a mixed bag, so it's not exactly safe. But don't worry, our Time Clan's territory is absolutely safe," Shi Lan said, patting Shi Jia on the shoulder reassuringly.
"Hmm? Is it because of the clan mark?" Shi Jia asked.
“That’s right. Without the clan seal, one cannot enter the clan territory, and likewise, one will be rejected by the clan territory,” Shi Lan said. Therefore, only members of the Time Clan reside within the Time Clan’s territory.
"I see." Shi Jia wasn't surprised; she had already guessed this.
"Are you relieved now?" Shi Lan looked at Shi Jia with amusement.
"Ah."
The two returned to the teleportation station and were about to step onto the platform when Shi Lan suddenly said, "Shi Jia, my friend messaged me. They're still waiting for us to come over."
Shi Lan was somewhat annoyed; the incident had been so dangerous that she had completely forgotten about the party.
"No, Sister Shilan, you go by yourself." Shi Jia shook her head.
"Okay, you can go back first." Shi Lan looked at the other person's pale face and didn't insist.
After Shi Lan left, Shi Jia walked towards the teleportation platform and communicated with the clan seal. The next second, her whole body was enveloped in golden light and she disappeared into the platform.
As soon as Shi Jia entered the space-time tunnel, he suddenly felt a destructive force tear open the space-time tunnel, and a pitch-black crack appeared. The next second, a giant black energy hand reached into the crack.
Shi Jia was terrified and instinctively used the power of time to envelop himself and fly towards the time-space passage.
"Humph! It's too much!"
"Pfft~"
Four golden energies appeared instantly...
"Dare to cause trouble at the Dimensional Administration Bureau! Come and face your death!"
