Chapter 547: Chapter 257: Boarding the Abandoned Ship_3

It was Jing Lin’s voice.

A few seconds later, the lights brightened, and Jing Lin brought out two searchlights to illuminate the area.

It seemed to be in a tilted ship cabin; half of the cabin was submerged in seawater, completely dark inside.

And Li Yelai and Jing Lin had abruptly appeared on the wall of this cabin.

Nearby, various metal plates and kitchen utensils were scattered, and at the bottom, in the seawater, two skeletons dressed in chef’s uniforms were soaking.

Even soaked in seawater, the bodies had decomposed, and death seemed to have occurred a long time ago.

"It looks like we were transported to the kitchen of some ship," Jing Lin handed a portable searchlight to Li Yelai.

"This smell really is something else," Li Yelai frowned, the enclosed space combined with the rotten bodies produced a nauseating odor.

"At least we weren’t transported into the sea," Jing Lin responded, patting Li Yelai on his shoulder armor, making a dull clanging sound of armor collision, "It’s been a long time, old Li. You take on a mission and end up so far away. Some processors in Giant City thought you had an accident, some probably even made offerings."

"Hey, now I know who it is. I’ll make him eat it when I get back!" Li Yelai chuckled.

After a few seconds of silence, Jing Lin spoke, "For this collaboration, the officials informed me of a top-secret intelligence... Have you really become a Chaos Chosen?"

"It’s a part-time thing, my ’Face’ can mimic a Chosen, and it’s been discovered. I was thus bestowed with the title, ’Emperor’s Fall,’" Li Yelai was not surprised by this.

Now that they were to collaborate, it would be problematic if Jing Lin misunderstood during battle when Li Yelai used the power of the Blood God Chosen.

The officials probably revealed this secret after much deliberation.

"Holy shit..." Jing Lin exclaimed, "Your ’Face’ really is..."

"Does anyone else know this intel?" Li Yelai asked.

"No, I’m the only one in the Jing Family who knows. I even specifically signed an oath that until you disclose it yourself, I cannot reveal to anyone, in any way, that you are a Chaos Chosen," Jing Lin replied.

"It’s been tough," Li Yelai felt somewhat guilty.

"We’re brothers, what are you talking about," Jing Lin smiled, "I also managed to snag a strong blessing."

That comment made Li Yelai’s heart stir, brothers?

Indeed, Li Yelai’s mother was from the Jing Family, and she was Jing Lin’s aunt.

By blood, they really were cousins.

Li Yelai suppressed the weird feeling inside him and asked, "What has the official prepared for me?"

"Quite a few things," Jing Lin took off a backpack and handed it to Li Yelai, "Also, Yin Fire asked me to bring some items. It’s said your sister entrusted it; she doesn’t know your mission, but knowing we were meeting, she sent these over. They should be right on top."

Li Yelai opened the backpack, only to be taken aback. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Inside the backpack, two small cloth bags were placed at the very top. A slip of paper was wedged between the bags.

Li Yelai had a similar cloth bag, stored in his inner pocket, once holding the soft strands of a girl’s hair...

Li Yelai fell silent, then picked up the slip of paper. The slip bore elegant handwriting.

[Xiao Ye, are you okay 〃’▽’〃]

[Xiao Yan is doing well, just gained a bit of weight (°∀°)b]

[When are you coming back? I miss you (☍﹏⁰)]

The moment he saw the words, a warm current surged in his heart, causing Li Yelai’s heart to flutter.

He didn’t know what that feeling was, but... it wasn’t bad...
