In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

The driver replied impatiently, glancing at Xia Mu inadvertently before suddenly opening the car door as if possessed, and saying, "You can get out of the car now."

Whoosh!

Only after the car door closed again did the driver slap his forehead: "Oh dear, what was I doing just now?"

At this moment, Xia Mu had already arrived on the walkway. After observing that there were not many pedestrians around, he suddenly adopted a running posture.

"Sayuri, wait for me, Natsuki-sensei is coming soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed out, his running speed even creating a blurry afterimage. The bus driver who happened to see this scene opened his mouth wide!

"Such speed! Could that man... have been an alien?!"

Besides him, several other drivers on the road also saw this scene and peeked out to look.

"Look, there's a man running very fast!"

Really? Really?

"Unbelievable, is this guy an athlete? No, even if he were an athlete, he couldn't possibly run this fast, could he?"

"..."

While some drivers were surprised, they quickly took out their phones to take pictures, but before they could press the shutter, a certain man had already disappeared from the frame!

This scene even gave rise to a new urban legend known as the "High-Speed ​​Man on the Walkway."

Of course, that happened later, and even if Xia Mu knew, he would only consider it a trivial matter.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the pedestrians around him and ran as fast as he could on the road. A series of gasps came from the side, but when he looked closely, there was no sign of the man who had been running at high speed.

The journey from the bus to Tokyo Gymnasium is about ten kilometers, and given the local road conditions, it would normally take about twenty minutes to drive there. However, after only a few minutes, the outline of the gymnasium appeared in Natsuki's eyes.

"I can see the stadium! I've finally made it!"

Xia Mu said with a sense of relief, while slowly reducing his speed.

Even though his physical fitness had been greatly enhanced, he still expended a lot of energy during the high-intensity sprint. Seeing that there was still time, he simply switched to jogging. Anyway, at his own pace, he could reach the destination in less than ten minutes!

Suddenly, Xia Mu's jogging turned into walking. He looked around at his surroundings, and his expression immediately became serious.

"what happened?"

He is currently in a commercial street near the stadium.

With the boost from today's race, the commercial street must be packed with people, which is why he slowed down. If he were to run too fast like a hero in a movie and accidentally smash a passerby to pieces, that would be too "dramatic"!

However, the commercial street, which should have been bustling, was quite deserted at the moment. The surrounding shops were all open, but Xia Mu could only hear the occasional chirping of birds overhead. As for the other people, he could not see them at all!

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be because a murder occurred nearby, and the higher-ups urgently evacuated everyone?"

After saying that, Xia Mu shook his head and denied the possibility. Given the efficiency of the island nation's government, it was absolutely impossible for them to act so quickly.

He hadn't forgotten that in the recent news, a truck driver had fallen into a collapsed area, and according to normal rescue measures, the situation would have been resolved within a few hours.

However, the island nation's government has deliberately extended this time by several months. At least in Xia Mu's memory, the driver has not yet been "rescued," which is quite tragic!

He muttered to himself as he walked toward the stadium again, but after walking a short distance, he suddenly stopped.

"This place..."

Xia Mu glanced at a shop next door with a sign that read "Shaxian Snacks". He probably wouldn't remember anything else, but he naturally took a second look at this name that had a strong local flavor.

It was this glance that made Xia Mu realize something was strange. Just a few minutes ago, he had seen the same shop, but now he saw the same sign again. Wasn't the chain of Shaxian snacks a bit too outrageous?

Despite some doubts, Xia Mu continued walking forward and saw a third and then a fourth shop with signs for Shaxian snacks. Not only that, but the layout of the surrounding shops also felt strangely familiar.

Could it be... a ghost wall?!

The thought suddenly popped into Xia Mu's mind. Looking at the commercial street he had clearly walked through several times, he frowned deeply.

The term "ghost wall" refers to being trapped in a certain place and unable to leave the area. However, some say that you can leave the ghost wall area by simply turning around.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned around and saw a figure dressed in a black robe standing next to the traffic light at the zebra crossing, like an ancient statue.

A strange magnetic field seemed to be enveloping the area, causing the traffic lights to flash incessantly, as if influenced by some force, and sparks to fly from the surrounding power lines.

With a loud "snap," a power line fell from a great height and crashed to the ground with a loud bang!

Xia Mu dared not move his eyes. He stared intently at the other person. For some reason, the light around the other person's body seemed to distort in his gaze. In particular, the red shimmering under the black robe made him feel a strong sense of danger!

"who are you?"

If it weren't for the frequent encounters with ghosts, coupled with the blessing of holy light, Xia Mu's courage has grown considerably. Otherwise, if it were her earlier self who had just transmigrated, she would probably have been terrified and panicked.

Even so, an unprecedented sense of danger still occupied Natsuki's heart, at least several times greater than the danger Z had brought before!

Wait, Z?

Could this guy be a member of the Illuminati?

He frantically searched through the information in his mind that had previously devoured Z's memories, and recalling the "ghost wall" he had just encountered, a certain code name suddenly appeared in his mind.

Void!

This guy is a Void who wields the power of nothingness in the Illuminati, and he's ranked 22nd in the organization!

……

Chapter 69 is a crossover?

Void, ranked 22nd, is a highly mysterious figure even within the Illuminati, a society teeming with powerful individuals.

For Xia Mu, he would rather encounter someone else than face this Void with its empty code name!

Because Z's rank is not high, he cannot know much about the Illuminati. He knows very little about other members, and the members of the organization he is talking about, who are called the Void, are the only ones he knows about and are considered to be of the highest rank.

The so-called nothingness refers to the boundary between reality and illusion. Among the known abilities, the other party can even manipulate cognition to a certain extent!

This is also why other Illuminati members don't want to make contact with him; in a sense, this is a power that can be described as conceptual!

The reason I encountered the "ghost wall" was precisely because of the illusory power before my eyes, right?

Xia Mu thought to himself, his eyes subconsciously scanning his surroundings. What if he were trapped here? Wouldn't the peaceful life he had always pursued be nothing but fleeting smoke?

We need to get out of here right away!

The next moment, the light around the ethereal body flickered, and then, to Xia Mu's astonishment, it moved in such a bizarre way!

To describe it, it's like being at a zebra crossing, but in the blink of an eye, you're instantly in another location.

Before he could react, the ethereal figure swayed again, and when it reappeared, it was already about two or three meters in front of Xia Mu!

Is this... teleportation?

No, this isn't the Dragon Ball world, is it?

How can something like teleportation exist?

Brother, did you switch channels?

Even at this tense moment, Xia Mu couldn't help but complain in his heart. At the same time, a voice that was indistinguishable between male and female rang out from under the black robe.

"finally found you!"

"I?"

Xia Mu pointed to himself, frowning, "What's going on? I clearly don't know you, why are you looking for me? I don't have any money to borrow!"

"..."

The red light flickered faintly, seemingly not expecting Xia Mu's answer, and then spoke again: "Z, that guy disappeared because of you, right?"

How did they know?

Xia Mu's expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

He always thought that even if Z died because of him, there were no other witnesses besides Sayuri and the others at the time, and the Illuminati members should not come after him and the others in the short term.

But the current situation seems to have overturned his understanding. It seems that the Illuminati organization has methods that he could not have imagined, and has learned that he and Z's disappearance are inextricably linked!

Suddenly, A flashed through Xia Mu's mind—the most mysterious figure in the Illuminati. If it was that guy, then everything seemed to make sense!

Even so, he still didn't admit it, and instead backed away while adopting a wary posture: "I've never heard of the Z you mentioned. Let me leave here right now, or I'll have to call the police!"

Damn it, police!

"..."

The void paused for a moment, and suddenly a black organization emerged from the shadow behind him. It then expanded continuously in Xia Mu's eyes, eventually evolving into a shadow giant that was at least ten meters tall!

"This is……"

Because he was too surprised, Xia Mu did not notice that when the Shadow Giant appeared, there was no mist around him, and the sky was unusually cloudless!

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

The Shadow Giant let out a villainous laugh, its two red eyes swaying in sync with the laughter. This guy's appearance was completely different from the Shadow Armor of White Island or the Ghost Fox of Z, as if it were a being from another dimension.

Even so, the dangerous aura it exuded was several times greater than the other two, making it undoubtedly the most powerful enemy Xia Mu had ever encountered!

As the Shadow Giant laughed, the Void spoke again: "This doesn't matter. Once you're inside, you'll never be able to leave. I have plenty of ways to make you obediently tell me everything!"

Whoosh!

No sooner had he finished speaking than the shadow giant behind him raised his enormous fist and then slammed it down!

boom!!!

An astonishing tremor emanated from the commercial street, and amidst the billowing dust, the fist rose again, leaving a huge crater in the ground, as if a chunk had been forcibly scooped away!

However, after the attack, Void uttered a puzzled sound: "Huh?"

clap clap clap!

Beside the pit, Xia Mu patted his chest and peered out at the enormous hole, quite astonished, saying:

"This is incredible! If this made it into the news, it would probably be another bizarre story about something involving aliens, wouldn't it? How terrifying!"

"You're still alive?"

Xu Wu was somewhat surprised, and his gaze suddenly fell on Xia Mu's feet, or more accurately, on the pair of shoes that were gleaming softly.

"Have we been discovered?"

Xia Mu chuckled lightly, lightly stomped her foot, and the look of fright on her face was nowhere to be seen.
