Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 185, Section 016: The Coast
As night fell, the cooing of a nightjar drifted in from outside the window.

Jin Ziyue suddenly opened his eyes, glancing around to observe his surroundings. He carefully got out of bed and lifted a corner of the curtain.

After confirming that there were no pedestrians on the street, he took out his phone and typed a question mark into Fu Xun's text message.

[Seeking]: It has been confirmed that Akira Akahoshi will be heading to Ukyoto in three days. Is there anything else you need to prepare?

After thinking for a moment, Jin Ziyue decided to send Qing Yise away tomorrow, which would be a relief as he had gotten rid of a burden. After gathering enough information, he could leave.

However, before sending them away, we still need to observe the situation carefully and be wary of any potential traps.

[Jin]: Time has passed, this woman still has value.

[Seeking]: ?

[Seeking]: Is it valuable or something you can't bear to part with?

[Jin]: This journey has been too peaceful. I have a feeling that some people have already caught up.

[Seeking]: Your paranoia is definitely in its late stage.

Jin Ziyue ignored him and instead looked up at the sky, staring at the thick, unyielding clouds.

"Brother Qinsheng, are you awake?" Qing Yise in the next bed seemed to have heard the noise. The Otherworldly beings were naturally more sensitive and perceptive at night, so it was indeed a bit difficult for her to fall asleep.

"Okay." Jin Ziyue put away his phone.

At that moment, he didn't notice that the screen lit up and Fu Xun's message flashed again.

[Xun]: Okay, never mind, you win.

"Are you worried about tomorrow's itinerary?" Qing Yise asked cautiously. Normal people would be scared half to death if they were in the midst of conflicts and disputes among the Others, so it was already commendable that Brother Qinsheng was able to arrange the escape plan in an orderly manner.

"No, that's not it." He said with a smile.

"Clap."

Suddenly, the sound of a flowerpot shattering came from downstairs.

Jin Ziyue calmly lifted a corner of the curtain again, but the situation outside the window had completely changed.

On the road in the distance, where there were parked vehicles, a dark mass of people were now weaving through the gaps between them. Some even went so far as to step over the cars with their hands, making the car alarms go off.

Now, even Qing Yise knew what had happened, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Let's go!" Jin Ziyue decided immediately.

Qing Yise, without even packing her luggage, rushed out of the hotel with Jin Ziyue, wearing a pink and white bunny ear onesie.

As they rushed downstairs, they found themselves facing each other across the street.

Jin Ziyue recognized the newcomers: a dozen tall and muscular aliens, agile and quick. After confirming their target, they leaped over the railing with bloodshot eyes.

In an instant, it surged like a black tide, its waves crashing and surging.

"Shadow Legion!" Qing Yise recognized it, but Jin Ziyue grabbed his arm and dragged him into the alley by the roadside.

The hotel faces the street, with some ordinary alleys behind it. He casually knocked down the bamboo poles that were hanging high to dry, and vegetable baskets were thrown all over the ground.

Qing Yise jogged along, with the guys behind him chasing closely. Even so, they couldn't create any distance. The narrow alley restricted their riot. A group of monsters were crammed together, and some had to grab onto their companions' clothes to climb onto their backs in order to squeeze their heads out of the crowd.

But they were quickly left behind by the speeding monsters, letting out cries that were sometimes sharp and sometimes harsh.

[Fenghe Baohu] x14!

These guys, with their powerful strides and thick skin, were a real headache for Fu Xun to deal with, even just one of them.

But now more than a dozen have suddenly appeared at once!

Jin Ziyue grabbed the electric scooter in front of him, took out his keys and started it: "Get on!"

They all sat down, and the little electric scooter started whirring and vibrating.

"pay close attention!"

As Jin Ziyue shouted, the electric scooter suddenly whooshed off, accelerating to a high speed and speeding straight ahead, already on the main road.

Qing Yise realized that the person she was holding tightly in front of her had made more preparations than she had imagined.

The dozen or so Others, possessing the [Fenghe Baohu] power, surged forward through the wall plaster, only to be struck by a half-severed power line that had fallen from the sky. This briefly restrained the leading ones, while the others, who were frantically swarming in, were mixed together, their impact scattering debris, dust, and bamboo baskets all over the road.

Qing Yise clung tightly to the man's waist, the sharp wind whistling in her ears, her rabbit-ear hat billowing out to catch the wind.

The man was very fast, and in a flash he drove towards the suburbs.

The monsters behind them were left far behind. Out of the corner of her eye, Qingyi caught sight of the guy in the black trench coat, who stopped all the monsters in time and began to maneuver around them.

With the roar of the accelerator, Jin Ziyue's car had already left the monsters far behind. On the open highway, there were few vehicles at night, and even if one or two occasionally passed by, Jin Ziyue could easily bypass them from the side.

Just then, Qing Yise noticed a large truck following her from a distance. She shouted, "Brother Qinsheng, it's catching up!"

Jin Ziyue also saw a black truck vaguely emerging from the distant horizon on the flat road in the rearview mirror, its headlights shining straight towards him like sharp blades.

"Buzz—" The electric scooter went berserk again. Qing Yise had a strange feeling that even the docile little electric scooter could become an agile velociraptor in the hands of the man in front of him.

"Hello." Jin Ziyue suddenly received a call, but fortunately, he was using a headset, which prevented him from being too distracted.

"What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into?" the man on the other end of the phone yelled. "I've been in business for so many years and I've never encountered anything like this! My dock is packed with people, I can't wait until tomorrow night, I'm leaving tonight!"

"Place!"

"At the West Port Wharf of Tambun City, I'm at sea, I dare not dock!"

"Hide well first, find a secluded spot, and arrive in fifteen minutes. Then you can light your fishing lantern."

"Then hurry up!" the other party cursed as they hung up the phone.

A high-speed chase ensued. No matter how fast the electric scooter went, it still couldn't compete with the truck.

The electric scooter had reached its limit, as if it might fall apart at any moment. Jin Ziyue saw the road ahead, with a distant lighthouse standing on the sea, the sea shrouded in a thin mist in the dead of night.

The sound of waves crashing could be faintly heard.

Jin Ziyue gradually reduced the speed of the vehicle until he braked, stopped the electric car, and ran towards the stone path by the sea.

To the right of the stone-paved road is a high seawall, with silent streetlights standing every few meters.

Meanwhile, the truck had caught up to the road, and Jin Ziyue used the roadside trees and bushes to prevent them from noticing immediately that the two had abandoned the vehicle.

The seaside stone path is layered and the stairs are winding and spiraling. Beyond this section of the seawall is the beach, where even motor vehicles can hardly pass.

Jin Ziyue pulled Qing Yise along as they ran. The sea breeze was salty and damp, and the dew was slightly cool. Under the hazy moonlight, the two figures, one in front of the other and one behind holding hands, stretched out on the embankment road.

Suddenly, the vegetation rustled, and the light went out before Jin Ziyue's eyes.

He looked up abruptly and saw several white ghosts with fleshy wings emerging from the forest, their purple tongues flicking in the air and their raised claws slashing down.
