Xue Jing described the layer of light film he saw and asked Ning Yuantai.
Ning Yuantai was stunned at first, then thought about it carefully and said uncertainly:
"What you're talking about... I'm not sure either. Maybe it's some kind of large-scale image generated by holographic technology?"
“I didn’t see any light film…”
Hearing Ning Yuantai's answer, Xue Jing nodded and did not ask any more questions. He just kept it in mind and remembered the existence of this layer of light film.
Although Yuancheng can be seen, it is still quite far away because the city is so large.
After a long time, the plane finally arrived over Yuancheng.
"Although Yuancheng is not considered big among the inner ring cities, its total area is about twenty times that of Qingcheng."
Ning Yuantai introduced.
"There are a total of fifty-five areas, divided into areas D1 to D23, areas C1 to C19, areas B1 to B10, and the last areas A1-A3."
"The U19 finals you are going to play in this time will be held in the 'Super Arena' in Area B9."
Xue Jing smiled and said, "Are the residents in this area divided from D to A? The more noble and wealthy the people are, the closer they are to A?"
Ning Yuantai said: "Brother Xue is smart, that's about it, but the difference between the dozens of districts from D to B is actually not that big. The people living in the three A-level urban areas are really rich or noble. If you don't have a certain status, you'd be embarrassed to go in."
"I remember there seems to be an urban legend in Yuancheng that in addition to these fifty-five districts, there is another area that only selected people can enter, called the 'Imaginary Special Zone'..."
While we were chatting, the plane slowly descended.
Just as the plane touched the light blue film that only Xue Jing could see, a red light suddenly flashed in front.
Along with an alarm sounding like a siren, a bright red holographic subtitle of "Stop! Stop! Stop!" appeared in the air. Countless "Stop!"s surrounded the entire plane, making it densely packed.
The plane also obediently stayed in the air, floating without moving.
Soon, several small aircraft that looked like motorcycles without wheels flew over. The pilots on them were all wearing black uniforms and a silver badge similar to a trident on their chests.
"Hmm? The one who came here is not the sheriff. Judging from his clothes, he should be a member of the Black Tide Security." Ning Yuantai was a little confused, but then he said to Xue Jing:
"Don't worry, Brother Xue, leave it to me."
After saying that, he walked out of the cubicle.
The door of the small compartment was not closed. Xue Jing looked out and saw that the cabin door was open. Ning Yuantai was standing at the door, communicating with the Kuroshio security personnel floating outside.
"... I feel like this place is weird." The cat in Xue Jing's arms said, her young girl's voice clear and sweet.
She looked down at her two front claws which had automatically popped out as snake-killing scouts.
He shook the cat's tail again and moved the tail ring in front of himself.
"The cat tail ring is a little hot, and the blood flow in my body is also speeding up..."
Xue Jing thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "This place is where the head of the Dragon Cult is located. I guess the power of Bastet has sensed the presence of the Dragon."
Maomao looked at the city outside the porthole and said absentmindedly, "I wonder how Yunqin is doing."
Xue Jing touched her head and was about to speak when Ning Yuantai's voice suddenly became louder outside:
"Since you recognized this ID, you should know which agency this plane belongs to and who gave you the courage..."
There was irritation in his voice.
Xue Jing stood up, put the cat on the seat, and then walked out of the compartment.
As soon as I went out, I saw the security personnel of the aircraft sitting outside the cabin door and said in a cold tone:
"These are special times, and the requirement is that any vehicle and any person must be checked, without any exceptions."
Ning Yuantai smiled, crossed his arms, and said, "What if I don't want to let you in?"
Seeing this, Xue Jing said, "Yuantai, what's wrong?"
"Brother Xue..." Ning Yuantai put down his hands when he saw Xue Jing, walked in front of him, and whispered:
"He wanted to inspect our plane. These security companies, relying on their law enforcement powers, always try to find opportunities to extort money. This time, they must have done it again, and they actually came to our Sixth Agency..."
Xue Jing glanced at the security guards outside the door and paused for a moment at the leader who was speaking.
There was no skin on the right half of his forehead and eye sockets, but instead a layer of silver metal coating. His eyeballs were prosthetic eyes that flashed red light, and he was looking directly at Xue Jing.
"This is the rule of Yuancheng now. The Chief Councillor has personally issued an order. No one can get special treatment. Everyone who enters the city must be checked."
He said in a cold and hard tone.
Ning Yuantai said happily: "Well, I really don't believe it. I won't let you in today. What can you do?"
The leading Kuroshio security officer did not respond.
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said:
"It's not a good idea to waste time like this. Since this is a special period, let them check it out. There's nothing shameful on the plane."
Ning Yuantai scratched his head when he heard this, "Since you said so, Brother Xue..."
He stepped aside and said with a curled lip, "Come in."
The leading security guard did not say anything, but stepped into the cabin door first and entered the cabin. Several other personnel also came in one after another.
After they entered, they each walked to a certain area, raised their right hand, and pressed a few times on the bracelet on their right hand. Suddenly, a deep blue cone of light shone from the bracelet, scanning everything in the cabin.
"Oh? It looks like they are really checking carefully. I thought it was just an excuse to blackmail me."
Ning Yuantai touched his chin and said.
"What is this special period that person mentioned?" Xue Jing asked casually.
Ning Yuantai replied, "A lot of things have happened in the Fifth Metropolitan Area recently. There are suddenly many pirate groups wreaking havoc in Fengcheng, and a large-scale martial arts melee broke out in Baocheng some time ago, which resulted in the destruction of several blocks and countless innocent deaths and injuries... And Qingcheng, if it weren't for you, the Tianxu Bug Queen would have killed countless people."
"I heard something happened in the inner ring, but I haven't been there recently, so I don't know the details."
He lowered his voice and said, "… I heard that these are the people above who are fighting each other, so I don't dare to ask more."
Xue Jing nodded and said nothing.
No one knew what technology the scanner used by the Kuroshio people used, but they completed the inspection with just a quick scan. Their efficiency was very high, and after a while, the entire cabin was almost checked. One of them walked into the small compartment.
Just when Xue Jing thought the inspection was about to end, suddenly, an alarm sounded in the cubicle.
"drop---"
As soon as the prolonged alarm sounded, the faces of several Kuroshio personnel standing outside the cabin changed.
Xue Jing also narrowed his eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he came to the small compartment.
At this moment, the cat was curled up in the seat, with an anthropomorphic look of innocence on its face.
A cone-shaped blue light shone on her, turning her into a blue cat, with only the tail ring on her tail flashing red.
All the security guards entered the small compartment one after another. The leader looked at this scene, was silent for a while, and said in a cold and hard tone:
"We're going to take this cat away."
As he said this, he extended his hand towards the cat.
“Snap—”
Xue Jing grabbed his outstretched wrist.
The leader exerted a little force, trying to break free, but found that his arm did not move at all. His brows furrowed immediately, veins on his arms bulged, and he used all his strength to try to pull himself away.
However, it was as if he was firmly gripped by an industrial alloy mechanical claw. Even though he had tried his best, he found that his arm remained motionless, not even a millimeter of trembling, as if it was fixed there.
"Don't touch it." Xue Jing spoke slowly without any fluctuation in his tone.
"..." The leader was silent for a while and said:
"There's something 'abnormal' about it. According to the rules, we have to take it back for investigation."
Xue Jing looked at him expressionlessly, his pupils dyed silver-white, and said lightly:
"I won't say it again."
The other security personnel quickly pulled out various guns and batons from their waists and pointed them at Xue Jing.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately fell to freezing point, and the air became stagnant.
Despite being pointed at by countless weapons, Xue Jing's expression did not change at all. Mao Mao narrowed his eyes, and the snake-killing spearheads that popped out from his two front paws flashed with cold light, and his emerald-like vertical pupils swept across the necks of the surrounding security personnel.
"…If you don't want to die, put your guns down."
The leader spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone withdrew their weapons that were pointing at Xue Jing.
Ning Yuantai also came to the small cubicle. His eyes focused, and his skin all over his body turned faintly red. A tiny red air current began to appear around him.
"Brother Xue, what do you say?"
He looked at Xue Jing with an excited expression, as if he was just waiting for his order to kill these Black Tide security personnel immediately.
“… I will report this matter truthfully and let the higher-ups handle it.”
The leading security guard noticed that the pliers were getting stronger and stronger, and feeling the severe pain on his wrist, he quickly spoke to Xue Jing.
The bones made a cracking sound, and his eyes twitched slightly: "So... can you let me go?"
The silver-white in Xue Jing's pupils gradually faded away and returned to dark brown, and he withdrew his hand from the leader.
There was a deep red palm print on the leader's wrist, which was obviously thinner than other parts of the body, as if the skin and flesh had been squeezed tightly.
He held her wrist with his other hand, took a deep breath, glanced at Xue Jing fearfully, and said, "... Let's go."
A group of security personnel followed him out of the cabin, and each got on a flying vehicle and left.
"Tsk, what a pity." Ning Yuantai dispersed the red airflow, and his skin color returned to normal, and he said with a look of regret.
Xue Jing looked out the window, watching the backs of the security guards leaving, and said to Ning Yuantai:
"Yuantae, is it okay for me to do this?"
Ning Yuantai patted his chest and said, "Of course it's okay. Don't worry. You are from our Sixth Agency. We have already asked too much of them by letting them into the plane. Do you want to take things away from us? We won't mind giving them a slap in the face!"
Xue Jing sighed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Ning Yuantai sighed: "That's impossible. If I hadn't given you face, I would have already fought with these black tide bastards..."
"But you cat..."
Ning Yuantai looked at the cat thoughtfully and paused for a moment at the platinum tail ring on its tail.
"So that's how it is." He nodded and said tactfully:
"Please take a break. I'll call the higher-ups and give them instructions."
After saying that, he left the cubicle.
After he left, Maomao looked at Xue Jing with an innocent face.
“… Am I in trouble again?”
Xue Jing pondered and said, "No, based on past experience, it should be my fault."
He gradually reconciled with himself and began to believe that he was a "holy body with innate power".
"However, this should be just a small matter with no follow-up. Once the Yuancheng officials contact the Sixth Organization to explain, it will probably be over."
Xue Jing thought about it and said uncertainly: "… Maybe."
Maomao put her front paws on his knees and whispered in a childish girl's voice:
"Ah Jing, thank you."
Xue Jing was thinking about something. Hearing this, he turned to look at her and asked in confusion, "What are you thanking me for?"
There seems to be light flowing in the vertical pupils of the cat's emerald:
"Just now, you chose to protect me without hesitation."
Xue Jing smiled and touched her head, saying:
"Wrong."
Cat: “Hmm?”
"I didn't choose to protect you. It's just that there was no choice at all."
Xue Jing smiled and said, "You are my family. It is my natural instinct to protect you without any consideration of interests."
