Chapter 534 - 384: A Scene Straight Out of a Sci-Fi Movie, the Hand of God!

"Do you, do you need something to drink?"

"I have coffee, milk, cola, and tea."

"Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a cup of tea."

"Alright."

Li Xiaomin entered the business class compartment and saw a young man with closed eyes sitting on a seat. His skin was fair and had a jade-like delicacy, his features were strikingly handsome, and Li Xiaomin couldn’t help but take several more glances.

Tss.

Coming back to her senses, Li Xiaomin blushed a little. She tore open a pack of tea leaves and put them into a cup, then poured in hot water.

"Sir, your tea is ready."

"Thank you. Do you have the latest newspaper?"

"Yes, we do."

Li Xiaomin retrieved a latest newspaper from the bottom shelf of the trolley and handed it over. Su Mu, seated, opened his eyes at that moment. Seeing those deep eyes like stars, Li Xiaomin was momentarily dazed.

"What is it? Is there something on my face?"

"Ah, no, there’s nothing on your face, sir."

After speaking, Li Xiaomin’s face flushed as she exited the business class. After taking several deep breaths, her chest was still heaving.

"Such a young and handsome person of importance."

Li Xiaomin had met many important figures before, but they were either old men or of advanced age. Su Mu was the first young one she had encountered.

Those important figures all carried an aura of intimidation without anger, but Li Xiaomin didn’t sense any of that from the important figure she just met.

"He’s very relaxed, doesn’t seem like he’s on duty. Maybe he’s out for a trip, to unwind?"

Li Xiaomin murmured to herself, her face turning even redder, a sense of excitement rising in her heart as she pushed the trolley back. Her gaze fell on the window at the junction of the cars, which was an emergency escape door.

The high-speed train was currently traveling through a mountainous area. The scenery along the way was great, but unfortunately, dawn hadn’t broken yet, and only the dim outlines of the mountains could be seen, which appeared somewhat monotonous.

Ahead was a dark tunnel, and just as they approached it—

Suddenly.

She seemed to hear an unusual sound.

Boom------

A strong sense of unease abruptly brought Li Xiaomin’s excited heart to clarity. Looking ahead, the inside of the train was silent; she looked outside, trying to find the source of her discomfort.

The train suddenly dimmed as it entered the tunnel.

Ah?!

Li Xiaomin was startled, her steps halted, and she let out a tiny scream.

But the rushing sound of the train entering the tunnel drowned her scream. When the train emerged from the tunnel, a sharp whistling of wind echoed across the sky. The horizon began to show a hint of dawn light, slightly brightening, and a sliver of the first morning sun streamed into the car window.

Though the scene was beautiful and tranquil, Li Xiaomin’s sense of unease grew stronger.

She felt as though something bad was about to happen, as if a disaster was impending, making her heart pound with fear.

"Is it an illusion... Why am I so uneasy?"

Just then, Li Xiaomin suddenly noticed a black dot appear outside the car window. The dot wasn’t large; the reason she noticed was that it wasn’t swiftly passing by but seemed to be traveling along with the train.

Li Xiaomin was puzzled, leaning closer to the window to look.

The black dot indeed existed, moving at an alarming speed, and up on the high-speed train. From spotting it to it increasing in size within her pupils, becoming clear in the blink of an eye, took only a few breaths.

"Flying object? Is it a drone?"

Li Xiaomin stared directly at the approaching black dot. Initially, it appeared like a sphere, and as the sky brightened further, the black dot became clearer, and her sense of unease grew overwhelming, intense.

Boom boom----

The black dot approached, rapidly slicing through the sky.

Then, Li Xiaomin finally saw what that thing was.

It wasn’t a sphere nor black; it was a several-meter-long object resembling a fiery red steel tube.

At this moment, the tail end of the fiery red steel tube spouted a long red-blue flame, and within an instant, enlarged sharply within Li Xiaomin’s pupils.

"Is it... a missile?!"

Li Xiaomin’s pupils contracted suddenly, her expression froze in an instant.

And then, at that unprecedented moment of horror, as if Li Xiaomin’s soul and flesh separated, it felt like her soul left her body, and she thought of many things within that instant.

Everything from the past flashed by at a rapid pace, a montage began.

When the soul returned.

Li Xiaomin watched the fiery red missile approach outside the window.

Thousands of meters.

Hundreds of meters.

Fifty meters.

Twenty meters.

Li Xiaomin, with excellent eyesight, could even clearly see a pitch-black, sinister image of an Evil Ghost on the oblique approaching fiery red missile.

At this moment, the Evil Ghost image seemed to come alive in Li Xiaomin’s eyes, sneering viciously at her.

Finally, Li Xiaomin’s soul and flesh rejoined, her heart pounding, soaring, eventually getting stuck in her throat. Her whole body trembled wildly; she wanted to open her mouth and shout.

To tell the passengers on the train what she had seen.

But in the extreme fear, she couldn’t utter a sound.

All she could do was watch death approach!

Finally, that missile, a symbol of death, seemed to come right up to the car window. Li Xiaomin’s mind went utterly blank, her eyelids instinctively wanting to shut, as she could already see the horrific image of death.

Li Xiaomin felt utterly powerless, collapsing to the floor.

Tap!

At this moment, the business class door opened, and the sound of footsteps interrupted all of Li Xiaomin’s deathly fantasies.

A towering figure calmly stepped out of the business compartment, unhurried. He extended a long finger, gently touching it against the car window.

Buzz-------

Dazzling silver light rippled out from that white fingertip like raindrops causing ripples in a small pond, but then suddenly it surged like surging waves.

The silver glimmer at the fingertip was extremely brilliant, and this section of the business class instantly transformed into a boundlessly sparkling galaxy, with time infinitely stretched in that moment.

The sinister image of the Evil Ghost just hovered outside the car window, seemingly so close and yet so far, a forbidden zone forever unreachable by the missile.

At this point, that figure’s slender finger slightly curved and flicked lightly.

An even more terrifying scene unfolded.

Swish!

The sneering pitch-black Evil Ghost instantly turned 180 degrees, and in an instant, white waves surged, and then it transformed back into a dot, disappearing at the end of Li Xiaomin’s sight.

Everything happened within breaths, and after doing all this, the towering figure calmly extended a hand toward Li Xiaomin.

Li Xiaomin’s mouth was gaping wide, utterly stupefied, with her eyes widened like round bells, fixedly looking at the extended elongated fingers.

With just a gentle touch, the rapidly approaching missile was halted.

And then with a simple flick, the missile’s direction was reversed, and even its departing speed was greater than when it was approaching!

Such a science-fiction-like scene, only supposed to exist in sci-fi superhero movies, had just taken place in reality.

At this moment, in Li Xiaomin’s eyes, these pair of fair hands seemed like the hands of a deity, possessing boundless, mysterious powers beyond her understanding.

Raising her head slightly, Li Xiaomin saw those starry eyes that looked like a galaxy. In this moment, Su Mu, who earlier appeared relaxed and even a bit indolent in her eyes, now exuded an extraordinarily dazzling aura, akin to that of a god, making her not dare to look directly.

"Are you alright?"

Li Xiaomin’s mouth was still wide open, completely losing the ability to speak.

"It’s all over, no need to panic."

Su Mu pulled Li Xiaomin up, gently patting her shoulder, and suddenly, Li Xiaomin felt a refreshing force circulating throughout her body, making her deeply fearful heart suddenly become much calmer.

However, her heart, which hadn’t entirely calmed down yet, was soon stirred again the next second.

She saw Su Mu calmly walk to the emergency exit, his deep eyes gazing into the distance, and in Li Xiaomin’s fearful expression, he pulled open the door.

The fierce wind poured in instantly.

"Finally appeared..."

Su Mu’s Spiritual Power captured a figure, and then he took a step out of the train.
