Chapter 145 Chapter 145: What we want is for them to be afraid

Japan.

Tokyo Dojo.

The stage is high and the performance is passionate.

On the stage, the scenery is exquisite and the lighting is soft.

The play they performed was called “The Story of the Precious Sword”, a legendary play written by Li Kaixian.

Simply put, Lin Chong’s wife redressed her husband’s injustice and received help from high-ranking officials in the capital. Lin Chong was spared the death penalty, but was still exiled to Cangzhou.

During his exile, the escorting officers, according to Gao Qiu’s instructions, were preparing to secretly kill Lin Chong. Lin Chong’s sworn brother Lu Zhishen arrived in time, rescued Lin Chong from danger, and escorted him safely to Cangzhou.

Seeing that his conspiracy had failed again, Gao Qiu sent people to Cangzhou to set fire to the hay barn that Lin Chong was guarding.

Faced with the escalating persecution, Lin Chong could no longer bear it. He killed the people sent by Gao Qiu and was forced to join Liangshan and borrow troops to attack the capital.

Finally, the emperor ordered to pardon Lin Chong’s crime, promoted his official position, and tied up Gao Qiu and his son and handed them over to him for disposal.

Zhu Li listened with great interest.

Since the Jiajing period, he has been buried in a tomb. He only listens to opera from time to time. Now in the 20th century, when I listen to the dramas of my predecessors, I always feel a strange feeling.

Although the old friends are gone, there are still things left behind.

This prince of the Ming Dynasty felt something and had a deeper understanding of Tao.

Our ancestors all pursued fame and status in history, and perhaps this is the way for the spirit to survive forever.

We are all plants and trees, and we will die one day.

It is difficult to find a path to eternal life.

Zhu Li seemed to be thinking about something.

This calamity in the mortal world is probably just like this.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand.

Tang Mi understood, clapped his hands and said, “You have worked hard, take a break.”

The troupe was stunned.

The monitor quickly waved his hand to let the actor leave the stage, and all kinds of messy things were taken away.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Li sighed leisurely, “Tang Feng and the others are too slow.”

“I’m afraid we’ve encountered inevitable resistance.” Tang Mi said.

Zhu Li smiled and said, “In this mortal world, it is natural that there will be difficulties after encountering this disaster. It is not advisable to delay it for too long. It is better for me to go and end it all myself.”

“Your Highness has worked hard.”

Zhu Li waved his hand and beckoned.

Geng Qing walked towards Zhu Li with heavy steps.

He was a burly man with broad shoulders and back, and every step he took seemed to cause the ground to tremble slightly.

His eyes were firm and loyal, revealing an unyielding spirit.

When he walked in front of Zhu Li, he knelt down without hesitation. The moment his knees touched the ground, it seemed as if the entire ground was shaking.

“Your Highness!” Geng Qing’s voice was low and powerful.

Zhu Li looked at Geng Qing who was kneeling in front of him, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

“Captain Geng, I have decided to let you stay in Japan and take charge of all matters.” Zhu Li’s voice was calm and firm.

Geng Qing was shocked when he heard this, but he did not hesitate at all. He immediately clasped his fists and said, “I will protect the safety of the dojo even if I die!”

However, Zhu Li shook his head and said, “I am not worried about the safety of the dojo. What is more important is the alien family in Japan.”

Geng Qing was frightened when he heard this.

Give orders.

Zhu Li walked out of the dojo and whistled.

Suddenly, a huge shadow fell silently, as if the entire sky was covered.

Upon closer inspection, the shadow turned out to be a giant bird!
It floats in the air like an island, and its size is jaw-dropping.

Its feathers are dark gray, each one is as hard as steel and sparkles with a cold luster.

The giant bird’s eyes were as red as fire. Its eight eyes were located on both sides of its head, flashing a fierce light as if they could see through all secrets.

When it chirps, the sound is like thunder, deafening and makes people feel an indescribable shock.

Its sound echoed in the air, as if even the earth was shaking.

The giant bird spread its wings, with a wingspan so wide that it almost covered half of the sky. Every flap of its wings brought up gusts of wind, causing the trees on the ground to sway gracefully.

This giant bird is not only huge in size, but also incredibly powerful. Its claws are as sharp as knives, and it can tear through thick clouds with a single swing.

Its tail is long and powerful, and when it swings it makes a whistling sound like a giant whip.

Tang Mi stood beside Zhu Li, his eyes fixed on the giant bird in the sky, and suddenly exclaimed: “It has become stronger again!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li turned to look at Tang Mi, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: “This is how it is when it is raised in a free-range manner. Although it is restrained, it absorbs a lot of blood, so its growth is normal.”

After hearing this, Tang Mi frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, “Wouldn’t it be too arrogant to go out like this?”

Her voice trailed off, obviously worried that such behavior would draw unwanted attention.

Zhu Li understood what Tang Mi meant and knew that she was worried about being discovered in advance.

So, he smiled and said, “What we want is for them to be afraid.”

When Tang Mi heard Zhu Li’s answer, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Zhu Li stretched out his body and leaped up as swiftly and gracefully as a cheetah.

His scarlet dragon robe fluttered in the wind, raising a cloud of dust.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and onto his body, as if he were covered with a layer of golden armor.

His movements were smooth and powerful, and every muscle contraction was full of strength and beauty.

After drawing a graceful arc in the air, he landed steadily on the back of the giant bird.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze and the whole world stood still.

The giant bird sensed the arrival of its master and let out a deafening cry.

The sound was like thunder, shaking every inch of the land.

Zhu Li sat on the back of the giant bird, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes firm and deep.

The noble prince gently stroked the giant bird’s feathers, which were as hard as iron, yet had a strange warmth.

He could feel the powerful force flowing in the giant bird’s body, as well as its loyalty and dependence on him.

Tang Mi also landed next to his own prince.

The giant bird flapped its wings and flew high, creating gusts of wind as its wings flapped.

Its flying posture is elegant and domineering, and every flap of its wings seems to be able to tear the sky apart.

Zhu Li sat on its back, feeling the wind whistling past his ears, with a surge of lofty sentiments and ambitions in his heart.

Their figures drew a long trail in the sky, getting farther and farther away until they disappeared into the clouds.

The giant bird flapped its wings and flew high at an astonishing speed.

Every flap of its wings brought up gusts of wind that seemed to tear the sky apart.

Its shadow drew a long track in the sky, like a meteor streaking across the sky, leaving a brilliant trail.

The sun shone on the giant bird, and its feathers shone with a metallic luster, reflecting a dazzling light. Not long after, it appeared in the territory of the United States.

Air Defense Agency.

In the monitoring room, a staff member named Jack Thompson was sitting at his seat.

Before his eyes were rows of flashing screens and complex instruments, displaying all kinds of data and images.

Jack had obvious dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely tired.

Jack is an experienced radar operator. The domestic situation has been tense recently, and they need to keep an eye on the radar at all times to ensure that any abnormal situation can be discovered in time.

He has been working for several hours in a row, but still dares not relax at all.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, his eyes fixed on every change on the screen.

Jack Thompson just relaxed a little and murmured to himself: “It seems that everything will be fine today.”

He picked up the iced coffee next to him and was about to take a big sip to enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.

However, at this moment, a shrill radar alarm suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the monitoring room.

The alarm sounded sharp and rapid, like countless needles piercing the eardrums, making people involuntarily nervous.

It was not just a shock in terms of sound, but more like an invisible pressure that instantly froze the air in the entire monitoring room.

Jack’s hand shook and the coffee cup almost fell to the ground, with the ice cubes making a crisp sound.

Jack Thompson’s fingers danced wildly on the dashboard, and every button and knob was operated quickly and accurately by him.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of confusion and anxiety.

“What’s going on?” he murmured to himself, with a slight tremor in his voice.

He checked the radar data record again, but the screen was clear and there was nothing unusual.

This made him feel even more anxious and uneasy, as if he was in the midst of an inexplicable supernatural event.

Just when he was about to fall into despair, a set of data suddenly flashed on the radar screen.

Jack’s eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his eyes. The data showed that an object had just passed through their monitoring area at a speed of Mach 7.8.

“Mach 7.8?!” Jack exclaimed, his voice full of shock and disbelief.

He knew very well what this speed meant – it was several times faster than the speed of sound, almost a speed that only missiles or nuclear bombs could achieve.

The director of the Air Defense Bureau, named Robert Harrison, rushed into the control room.

His steps were heavy and quick, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed his extreme concern about the current situation.

As soon as he entered the room, he asked loudly, “What’s going on? What’s the emergency?”

Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

He turned around, faced the director, and said in a deep voice: “Mr. Director, I’m afraid the situation is not good. Our radar detected an object flying within our country at a speed of Mach 7.8.”

Robert Harrison’s pupils suddenly contracted and his face turned pale.

He knew what this speed meant. It was an almost impossible speed unless it was some advanced missile or aircraft.

He immediately shouted, “Report it! Report it quickly! We must notify the higher authorities and relevant units immediately!”

Jack nodded, quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact his superiors.

His fingers danced rapidly on the intercom.

After a while, Robert Harrison calmed down a little. He asked again: “What is this thing? Have you figured out its identity and origin?”

Jack pursed his lips and trembled as he said, “I don’t know, Mr. Chief. The radar shows nothing. We can’t determine its identity and origin.”

Robert Harrison’s pupils contracted again and he felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that the situation was very bad. If even the radar could not detect this high-speed flying object, then they might be facing an unknown and potential huge threat.

He murmured, “How could this happen…”

But the good thing about the information age is that nothing can escape satellites.

After a while, the photos were sent over.

Robert Harrison returned to his office, closed the door, and sat down in front of his computer.

The screen displayed a photo taken by a satellite, which was an image that was urgently sent back after the radar detected an abnormal situation.

He stared at the photo, feeling a chill in his heart.

In the photo, a giant bird is soaring in the sky. Its size is so huge that it looks like an island floating in the sky.

The sunlight shines on its feathers, reflecting a dazzling light, making this giant bird look even more mysterious and majestic.

Robert Harrison takes in every detail in his photographs.

He noticed that the giant bird’s wings were spread out, broad and powerful, as if they could cover the entire sky.

Its tail feathers are long and elegant, swaying gently in the wind, showing a noble temperament.

What shocked Robert Harrison even more was that he discovered that the giant bird had a pair of bright eyes on its head.

These eyes are fixed on the sky, as if staring at a satellite camera, revealing a deep and sharp gaze.

He even felt that these eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the screen and look straight into the depths of his soul.

Robert Harrison’s heart beat faster and he felt an inexplicable fear and uneasiness.

He had never seen such a huge bird, nor had he ever imagined that there could be a creature capable of flying at such an astonishing speed.

And what’s even more terrifying is.

The director of the aviation bureau thought the giant bird had discovered that a satellite was secretly photographing it.

“Crazy, absolutely crazy!”

“Oh my God, how could this happen.”

Robert Harrison slumped in his chair, his mind blank.

“Is this a monster?”

The situation in the United States is already not peaceful, and now something like this has happened.

Who can stand this.

Robert Harrison’s fingers danced rapidly on the telephone keys.

Finally, he pressed the last number, and his wife’s familiar and gentle voice soon came from the other end of the phone: “Honey, what’s wrong?”

Robert Harrison’s voice was filled with obvious anxiety. He said eagerly: “Pack your bags, we are ready to go abroad. Let’s leave now, don’t ask why, and don’t hesitate.”

The wife on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned by this sudden order. She was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively: “Has Commissioner Smith’s affair been exposed?”

She knew that Robert Harrison had been dealing with some sensitive cases recently, but she never expected that things would suddenly deteriorate to this extent.

Robert Harrison smiled bitterly, his voice revealing helplessness and despair: “It’s more serious than this. Let’s run. Time is running out. We must leave here as soon as possible.”

When the wife heard what her husband said, although her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, she knew very well that Robert Harrison was not the kind of person who made decisions easily.

Since he said it was serious, it must be serious. She answered without hesitation: “Okay, I’ll clean it up right away.”

After hanging up the phone, Robert Harrison pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the resignation letter on the desk.

He knew that once he submitted his resignation, he would be giving up his career and status for many years, but he also understood that compared with the threats he was about to face, none of these mattered.

He picked up a pen, quickly signed his name on the resignation letter, and prepared to mail it to the federation.

Robert Harrison took a deep breath and stood up. He adjusted his suit to make sure everything was in order.

In the corridor, his colleagues were surprised and puzzled when they saw him hurriedly leaving.

But Robert Harrison didn’t have time to explain, he just nodded to them and walked quickly towards the elevator.
