Chapter 78 Silent Forest (2)

Lina was practically pressed against the helicopter's transparent window, her eyes sparkling as if she were watching some romantic drama.

The doctor, or rather, "A-Yu" who was being dragged out of the card at this moment, had a face as stiff as iron.

His face was full of sorrow, and he was still wearing two leather belts that Lina had forcibly added to his body. His cuffs were ripped into wrinkles, and he looked as if he was being pulled forward by some unknown creature, his toes barely scraping the ground.

He looked at An Jing, his eyes pleading with her to do something about her.

An Jing was trying so hard to suppress her laughter that her lips twitched uncontrollably, but when her eyes met those of the doctor, she paused for a moment.

That look in her eyes is so melancholy.

It seems they are still accusing her of secretly laughing.

Kind of embarrassing.

"Ahem." She cleared her throat and quickly turned her head away. "I'm looking at the scenery."

As long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

But they were still put back into the card.

She will indulge the cards, but she won't spoil them.

That would raise unruly children.

Dongqing and Yunji were already speechless with shock at Lina and the Shadow Doctor's sudden appearance. Now, seeing An Jing casually put the two into the card, their faces were filled with shock.

Dongqing swallowed hard: "Were those two props?"

An Jing chuckled twice: "...More or less, you can think of it as a portable NPC."

Looking in the direction where Lina disappeared, Yunji exclaimed in amazement, "To come out of the card and still be able to move freely, this kind of mechanism doesn't seem like a combat-type item... How come the Special Operations Department didn't take away such a powerful item?"

“But we have to be able to take them away.” An Jing paused, then added helplessly, “They’re the kind of girls who aren’t very obedient, so I don’t want them anyway.”

"That's impressive." Yunji exclaimed sincerely, "You must have a special magnetic constitution, which is why the items recognize their owner."

An Jing smiled and waved her hand: "Maybe I was just lucky."

Yunji, on the contrary, became serious: "Don't deny your potential, stay calm, and believe in yourself!"

An Jing raised an eyebrow, but before he could even be modest, the helicopter suddenly descended and slowly approached the target location.

The wind and sand outside were stirred up by the helicopter blades, causing sand and stones to fly and large amounts of leaf debris and dust to be stirred up.

She leaned out and looked down, and saw a dense primeval forest below.

The mountains stretch endlessly, with layers of forests and deep greenery.

This is truly a remote mountain forest.

"Wow, amazing!" An Jing couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "They could even detect a magnetic field like that? Who found it? Did they have eyes everywhere?"

"The eyes you're talking about probably refer to the research department itself," Dongqing explained with a smile. "The reason our research department is called the research department is because we really do research very thoroughly."

She proudly puffed out her chest: "Don't underestimate us just because we can't do everything like 404. Our front-end work is excellent, but we are the only research unit in the entire system that can capture magnetic disturbance frequencies. Even the weakest front wave anomaly can be calculated to determine the possible magnetic field generation point."

"Of course, the Special Service also wants to follow suit," Yunji continued. "Unfortunately, their research departments rely entirely on outsourcing. If it weren't for the fact that you, the previous lamplighters, were more reliable, they would have lost control of the front lines long ago."

"Now that the lamplighter is running over, they must be panicking, right?"

"Panic? Of course we're panicking. I heard they've been secretly poaching our researchers with high salaries." Dongqing had an expression that said, "I can't even be bothered to comment."

An Jing nodded, it seemed the two sides were really arguing fiercely.

Gathering together is like scratching your head.

Wasn't An Jing the one who came with her to carry the lamp? Shouldn't she know the situation best?

The helicopter landed slowly in an open area near the mountainside. The surrounding area was cleared of trees, indicating that the research department had sent people to do pre-treatment.

The blades came to a stop, and the wind gradually subsided.

An Jing stood up and patted the dust that had been blown onto her clothes.

Lina was still yelling, expressing her dissatisfaction with An Jing stuffing her into the card. Lina: "How dare you stuff me in there!"

An Jing: "If you keep making a fuss, I won't let you out next time. Control your temper, or your A-Yu really won't want to talk to you anymore."

Lina: "You're talking nonsense! Yu loves me the most!"

The doctor (indifferently): I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

But the doctor in the shadow puppetry dared not say it aloud.

I don't know why, maybe Lina has some kind of "bloodline" suppression on him.

After all, he used to be his master.

As soon as An Jing turned around, she heard Xu Yanyi's voice, now she should call him Youlong.

He stood at the very front, his expression shifting from joking to solemn.

"Everyone."

His voice was calm and firm.

"The objective of this mission is to eliminate the mysterious magnetic field. In terms of magnetic field fluctuations, there are theoretically no high-risk factors, but we still need to be careful."

"Therefore, the first task is to eliminate the mysterious magnetic field. But there is an even higher priority task, which is to protect the silence."

After he finished speaking, the air was silent for a few seconds.

Dongqing blinked, and Yunji's smile disappeared.

They glanced at An Jing instinctively, their eyes filled with confusion.

I initially thought she was a rookie agent or a Lanternman training with the team, so how come she's now the one who needs priority protection?

Youlong saw through their doubts at a glance, his tone remained unchanged, but his speaking speed slowed down.

"I know you don't know much about her situation, but just follow orders and don't ask any other questions."

Holly's mouth was slightly open, but she didn't make a sound.

Yunji reacted quickly, immediately adjusting his posture and speaking seriously: "Understood, Captain. During the mission, maintaining silence is the core of our operation, and ensuring their safety is our top priority."

“Very good.” Youlong nodded, then looked at An Jing. “Although you have experienced several mysterious magnetic fields, and the difficulty of them was not low, you cannot be careless just because this mysterious magnetic field is relatively weak. After all, your safety is our top priority.”

"Understood." An Jing nodded, trying to suppress the smile on her lips, pretending that she wasn't really happy to be praised.

“Very good.” Youlong raised his hand and glanced at his watch. “We will be entering in fifteen minutes. Everyone, please get ready.”

"Yes!"

He looked up at the shadows at the edge of the woods.

Fifteen minutes later, the group stepped into the magnetic field.

The mountains and forests were silent; walking under the trees, the lush greenery almost suppressed the sunlight.

An Jing stepped onto the thick moss and felt an indescribable sense of oppression in the air.

There was no wind, no birdsong, and you could barely hear any insects.

"It's so quiet," Dongqing said in a low voice. "And it's a bit cold. In the past, there were always people and strange things in the mysterious magnetic field, but we haven't encountered anything here."

"Yes, it's so quiet it's a little unsettling." Yunji gripped the magnetometer in his hand tightly.

An Jing suddenly stopped.

She looked up and saw a red glow seeping from the base of a huge pine tree, emanating from deep within the ground.

“…Captain,” she whispered.

“I saw it.” Youlong’s expression was solemn.
