Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 115: Chapter 53 Kaidan Text Message

Huan City University, located at the intersection of Ring City District and New District in the East City of No. 3 Border City, is one of the only three universities in this Giant City.

Established fifty-six years ago, it has nurtured a large number of talents, among whom are many wealthy businessmen from affluent families.

With the support of these alumni, Huan City University occupies a very extensive area and its infrastructure has become increasingly improved.

This has made it the university of choice for many students in Giant City.

Starfire and Shadow Stream are students at this university.

At this moment, the siblings were waiting for their teammates to arrive at the school gate.

”Big bro, do you know who the branch has sent as our teammates?” asked Shadow Stream, bored, dressed in a little western dress. Recently, investigating every class in the university had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

Starfire nodded, ”Our contacts should all be familiar faces, Night General, Heavy Knight; they seem to be participating too.”

”Night General...” Shadow Stream recalled the image of that man chasing a Void Realm Creature with a knife in one hand.

She remembered the scene where he stabbed the Void Realm Creature to death and emerged from the blazing fire.

Shadow Stream shivered slightly, ”Doesn’t Night General’s demeanor make it unsuitable for him to be disguised as a university student?”

”What are you talking about? Isn’t he only twenty-three years old?” Starfire said curiously, ”I think he’s quite handsome and looks young, which makes him seem even younger. Disguising as a university student shouldn’t be a problem, right? Besides, many university students work for a while before coming back to school. It’s normal to be a bit older.”

”I’m talking about demeanor!” Shadow Stream reminded in a lowered voice, ”Most of the students here are well-behaved...well, not exactly well-behaved. But compared to Scavengers or Void Realm Creatures, they are practically lambs. And Night General is the fierce man who sliced up Void Realm Creatures and brought down the Red Dart Commerce. No matter how much an overlord wraps himself in sheepskin, he can’t disguise himself as a little lamb.”

The incident with the Red Dart Commerce had long been leaked on the forums by the processors from the West City.

It was said that Night General went to the meeting alone, beat down a group of Scavengers armed with guns in the commerce, and even casually knocked over a few Wild Spirit Ability Users. He even flipped over a modified armored vehicle with his spear.

In ancient times, Gao Chong picked up iron slide cars with guns; today, Night General flipped armored vehicles with spears.

Reportedly, Night General finally went berserk, smashing even the vehicle of a processor from the West City Branch.

Such battle achievements were hard to match by any new member from other branches, except perhaps Heavy Knight.

Heavy Knight participated in one case capturing a small group of Wild Spirit Ability Users, smashed a Second Awakening Spiritual Ability User’s cervical vertebra with a hammer, and captured three Wild Spirit Ability Users.

Still, his achievements couldn’t compare to Night General’s.

So, in Shadow Stream’s view, although Night General was reliable, his demeanor was terrifying and awe-inspiring. He was not suited for disguise; he was more fitted to charge into battle, break through enemy lines, and slay the enemy’s top generals. Not to wear a clumsy disguise.

Starfire scoffed at this. Although he was a strong-willed person, he admired Night General.

Moreover, the two had collaborated before. Compared to his sister Shadow Stream, he knew Night General better.

Night General was extraordinarily brave in battle, but in normal times, he was actually a good-natured guy, a bit stingy and scrappy.

At that moment, seeing a vehicle stop in the distance, Starfire reminded, ”They’re here! Stop talking nonsense, be careful he hears you.”

Following Starfire’s gaze, Shadow Stream was immediately stunned.

Out of the black SUV, two figures stepped down.

The girl with a bob cut looked efficient yet tranquil, her delicate face adorned with a slight smile.

A cream white loose sweater paired with fitting black pants and white shoes made her appear youthful and beautiful.

Next to the girl was a tall man.

His handsome face wore a friendly smile and he dressed in a dark shirt under a thin windbreaker, making the already tall man appear particularly strapping.

As the duo approached Starfire and Shadow Stream, Shadow Stream’s heart began to race, her cheeks flushing slightly.

The man’s handsome appearance and tall stature made him look especially elegant and charming.

It was as if even the air around was pulled into a rosy, dreamy haze, and she wanted to do something in that dream...

Shadow Stream gawked at the man, feeling her heartbeat quickening intensely. Was this what they called love at first sight?

Then, Shadow Stream touched her mouth corner and whispered, ”Big bro, what do you think about Night General as your brother-in-law?”

Starfire looked back at Shadow Stream in astonishment, a big question mark appearing over his head.

He completely didn’t understand why his sister’s assessment of Night General fluctuated so much.

”No way, he’s too old!” Starfire sternly refused. Not mentioning at all the things he had said earlier.

The newcomers were naturally Li Yelai and Cheese.

If Shadow Stream heard their conversation, that rose-colored filter would probably shatter violently.

”Can’t believe they actually made me pose as a university student,” Li Yelai complained, ”Even if they treat me as a monster brushing cage, it might not be helpful for this operation. The analysis showed that the holder is an ordinary university student. Not a formidable enemy for me. Can’t draw him out. Can just lure one Kaidan derivative after another.”

”Stop complaining. Look at the detective; because he looks old, he can’t play a university student at all,” Cheese retorted, ”Besides, you have a beauty like me accompanying you. What’s there to be dissatisfied about?”

”Pretending to be young, you are actually a year older than me!”

”Nonsense, I’ve always been eighteen!”

The two squabbled and met up with Starfire and Shadow Stream.

Li Yelai eventually participated in the mission.
