The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 988 - 462: Be Good, Call Him Brother-in-Law
Tang Ling leaned against the wall, painfully clutching her forehead, even letting out a muffled groan.
Gu Jianlin had never seen her so out of control. He frowned, holding her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "What’s wrong, did something go wrong with your advancement? Or are the two souls in your body clashing again?"
Ever since he learned that Thunder’s Frida’s Schizophrenia was artificially induced, he had always felt that something bad might happen to her, which made him a bit on edge, afraid that something would go wrong with her.
Tang Ling forced herself to lift her head, her pale face devoid of color, her expression blank, as she whispered, "I don’t know. The soul conflict issue was completely resolved back at the Sea of Eternal Life. Just now, I heard some strange sounds, like a summons, yet also like an irresistible command."
"Command?"
Gu Jianlin pondered this word and asked, "What kind of sound was it?"
Tang Ling was silent for a moment, her long curling lashes trembling slightly, then responded, "Sword clashing sound."
The sea breeze rose suddenly, carrying a dampness and saltiness in the air, its sound echoing in the rundown and tranquil old city.
Gu Jianlin looked up, and amidst the world between sea and sky, clouds and mist rolled, forming what seemed to be a vaguely discernible face, like a peacefully sleeping child, showing an eerie smile.
Bang!
A powerful mental wave suddenly exploded, sweeping through the entire coastal city in an instant.
Gu Jianlin seemed to hear a faint buzzing in his ears.
In a flash, like an illusion, that eerie face disappeared without a trace.
After a long while, Tang Ling lifted her gaze, looking into the distance where the mist dispersed: "What was that?"
She raised her hand to touch her chest, her heartbeat unprecedentedly intense.
Gu Jianlin heard a crackling sound in his headset and adjusted it back into place.
"Boss, something’s happened."
Old Master Si said gravely in the earpiece, "The Sword Sect path in our family experienced sudden fainting spells, without exception. This wouldn’t normally be something to bother you with, but something seems off, so I thought I should report it. After all, if someone intended to target us, why is it only affecting the Sword Sect path?"
This old guy is on the Divination Master path and is skilled in divination, with very accurate instincts.
"Just say what you mean directly."
Gu Jianlin wanted to know if this old man’s assessment matched his own.
"Based on my deductions, this may not be an attack specifically against us. According to some information I just gathered, there’s also a spike in sudden faintings within the Sword Sect on the Peak City black market. It’s quite strange, and I can only think of the individual who escaped from the Deep Space Technology Building." Old Master Si said respectfully.
Interestingly, that’s exactly what Gu Jianlin was thinking too. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Knowing that the Si Family’s Sword Sect path also had issues, he became more confident in his judgment.
After the experiment subject escaped from the Deep Space Technology Building, such bizarre phenomena appeared the next day. Looking at the entire Peak City, only It could do such a thing. It was a product of the Third Law, a high-ranking entity. No one knows what this strange thing intends to do, but it certainly couldn’t be good.
Fortunately, it wasn’t aimed at Thunder.
"How are you feeling now?"
Gu Jianlin looked at the red-haired girl and asked calmly.
"Much better now."
Tang Ling shook her red hair: "That sound can affect me, but it doesn’t pose a threat."
Indeed, Thunder is also a product of the Third Law, arguably the most perfected form of human evolution. If she were so easily influenced, then there’d be no fun left in it.
"Glad to hear it."
Gu Jianlin lifted the Extreme Thunder Great Sword, gave her a glance: "Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet someone."
"Who?"
Tang Ling asked suspiciously.
Gu Jianlin turned and walked away, replying: "Your sister."

In a hospital room at Peak City Central Hospital, a silver-haired girl opened her eyes, seeing a familiar and charming face. Reflected in the rose-colored pupils was her own pale form, momentarily blurring the line between dream and reality.
"Sis?"
Tang Yun probed hesitantly.
Tang Ling said nothing, she simply hugged her gently, taking her into her arms.
Gu Jianlin leaned against the door frame watching the scene, waving a hand to dismiss the Si Family members, knowing the sisters had much to catch up on, possibly even tears to shed, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to be there.
After all, the bond between the sisters should be very strong.
Otherwise, Tang Yun wouldn’t have risked exposure to warn him about the Transplantation plan.
After receiving the news, Tang Ling wouldn’t have rushed to the hospital in a hurry.
After the collapse of the Deep Space Technology Building, Ying Changsheng, as the number two in the Shadow Department, continued his mission involving the mole. This Ying Family Crown Prince was truly hard on himself, getting himself severely injured and crawling out of Peak City in a battered state, leaving behind the girl from the Tang Family.
They were all people left by the President, much didn’t need to be said too clearly.
Ying Changsheng must have thought that if this Tang Family girl returned to the Order World, she would be exposed.
So he entrusted her to his most trusted ally.
Gu Jianlin placed her in this hospital, a mere kilometer from Black Cloud City, situated in the real world, where there was no need to worry about dimensional fluctuations, and where timely support could be received if something happened.
"Brother Lin."
