Chapter 1874: Disconnected Space-Time
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yi suddenly felt a sense of depression in his chest, making it hard to breathe. He picked up the photo, wiped off the dust, and then left the island with it.
When Lin Yi returned, it was already past ten in the evening.
Ning Che and the others hadn’t come back yet.
Lin Yi sat alone in the room, staring at the photo for a long while before finally falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning, around seven, Lin Yi was woken up by a call from Song Jinmin.
“Pack your things and head to the airport. Everything’s ready. The flight is at 10:30, don’t be late.”
“We have a private jet, no rush.”
“Flying private is a hassle. Emirates is more convenient,” Song Jinmin said.
“Otherwise, you might get robbed right after landing. No one knows even the plane can make it back.”
“That intense?”
“Of course. Somal is a haven for criminals. Imagine a place with no legal constraints how thrilling would that be?”
“No legal constraints…”
Lin Yi didn’t know much about Somal, with his limited knowledge being mainly about Somal pirates.
What Song Jinmin said gave Lin Yi a new perspective on the place.
It certainly sounded thrilling.
“Got it. I’ll bring the team over now.”
Understanding the importance of the mission, Lin Yi didn’t waste time. After hanging up, he notified the others to get up and get ready.
As for the photo he brought back from the island, Lin Yi placed it on the bedside table.
He planned to retrieve it after the mission was completed when he returned.
After washing up, the ten of them had a quick breakfast and then drove to the airport.
Everyone also saw Song Jinmin. After a simple greeting, they boarded the plane together.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were very familiar with Song Jinmin, but the others in Team 1 did not know him very well.
He only knew that he was the one who flew Lin Yi and Zhou Liang back to Panem from Chepopur.
However, their instincts told them that this man was not simple.
Otherwise, he would not have gone with them for this operation.
After the plane took off, Lin Yi and Song Jinmin sat in the back.
“When we separated from Chengdu, didn’t you say that you were going back to prepare? Why did you come alone? Did the others split up?”
Lin Yi knew very well that this time, he would fight Black Snake to the death.
Moreover, they were going to Black Snake’s main base, and with just the current team, it might not be enough.
Although using a strategy like capturing the leader first could lead to a surprise victory and an outnumbered success, the risks would greatly increase. This was something Lin Yi didn’t want to see.
“We don’t actually need that many people,” Song Jinmin said, reaching into his pocket to light a cigarette, but then remembered they were on a plane.
“Anyway, I’ve got everything prepared. There won’t be any problems, don’t worry.”
Since Song Jinmin said there wouldn’t be any problems, Lin Yi didn’t ask further.
Given his capabilities, if Song Jinmin said it would be fine, then it likely would be.
Lin Yi leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
What awaited him next was probably a fierce battle, and he needed to be in good condition.
Soon, the plane slowly took off, ascending into the blue sky.
Doora, Atlantean Hotel.
A middle-aged woman gently knocked on the door of Room 2408.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a long dress, but time did not seem to have left any traces on her face. She looked like she was 30 years old and was very young.
And this person was Qin Yingyue.
The person staying in Room 2408 was none other than Ji Qingyan.
During the few days that Lin Yi was buried, she did not go anywhere. In fact, she did not even leave Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Every day, she would sit in the courtyard in a daze, or perhaps take a walk.
Three days ago, she had suggested coming to Doora.
After learning of this news, Qin Yingyue and He Yuanyuan agreed wholeheartedly.
It was better to go out and relax than to hold it in at home.
Hence, He Yuanyuan asked Gao Zongyuan to arrange for a private plane. Then, Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue took the plane to Doora.
However, her motive for coming here was not to travel and relax, but to visit.
That was a place that only she and Lin Yi knew.
There were memories that only belonged to the two of them stored there.
She wanted to come here again at this last moment and bury all her past here.
Then, she would return to her own life.
Creak!
The room door was pushed open. Ji Qingyan had already put on her clothes, but she had yet to put on makeup.
Ji Qingyan was dressed in black jeans and a white chiffon blouse. Her attire was simple, low-key, and clean.
“Put on makeup. You can’t go around bare-faced every day,” Qin Yingyue consoled.
The two of them had arrived at Doora two nights ago. They had stayed here for the entire day yesterday and were preparing to leave today.
“I didn’t bring any makeup with me. Let’s leave it at that for now.” Ji Qingyan looked at her watch. “It’s already past seven. I’ll accompany you to eat something.”
“If you don’t want to eat, 1 won’t eat either,” Qin Yingyue said.
Ji Qingyan averted her gaze and nodded.
“That’s right. No matter what, you have to eat a little. Otherwise, your body won’t be able to take it.”
The two of them arrived at the hotel’s dining area. Qin Yingyue ordered a lot of food, hoping that Ji Qingyan could eat more.
But in the end, she didn’t even eat half a bowl of porridge and stopped eating.
No matter how Qin Yingyue tried to persuade him, she did not take another bite.
Qin Yingyue lamented repeatedly in her heart. She saw it and her heart ached.
She recalled what He Yuanyuan had said. Her senior sister understood everything. No one could persuade her.
She could only slowly adjust herself. When she got over that emotion, everything would be fine.
“It’s a good time to travel to Doora. Are you sure you don’t want to take a look around here?”
Qin Yingyue probed, hoping that she could stay here for a few more days to relax.
Ji Qingyan shook her head gently. “I just wanted to come here and visit. I’ve already gone where I wanted to go, so there’s no need for me to go anywhere else.”
“Alright, the car is already waiting outside. Let’s go now.”
“Yeah.”
The two of them packed their things and walked out of the hotel.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the entrance, ready to take the two of them to the airport.
The car drove steadily on the streets. The scenery outside the window and the people of all shapes and sizes flashed past her eyes like fleeting shadows.
To her, these were memories that were about to be sealed.
She would probably never come back in this lifetime.
The airport was very close to the city center of Doora. They arrived in less than 20 minutes.
The flight crew helped the two of them carry their luggage onto the plane. Ji Qingyan held onto the handrail and boarded the plane step by step.
However, just as she was about to ascend the last step, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She looked back in the direction of the sea, her eyes filled with tears and reluctance.
She did not want to leave, nor could she bear to leave…
