The atmosphere of the mission wasn’t as nerve-wracking as Gu Qingjiu had imagined it to be.
Only after reaching the mission venue that Gu Qingjiu realized something.
It turned out that Sky River District was a district where the affluent lived.
But it was located in the suburbs.
From several kilometers radius, they could find only villa residences.
Besides professional security and properties in certain areas, looking in the Easterly direction, all one could see was wilderness.
She had no idea why the affluent liked to stay in such a place.
There was a main entrance in Sky River District for entry into the villa area. There were quite many people coming here tonight.
Fairy Road wasn’t exactly a very remote place, but this place didn’t seem developed yet, forming a strange sight with half of Sky River District being in a desolated state and the other half in a prosperous condition.
Gu Qingjiu could see many luxury cars parked at the main entrance into Sky River’s villa district.
Although those around were officials and their families, if one didn’t pay particular attention, ordinary citizens living there wouldn’t be able to tell.
Naturally, they had no idea how these seemingly honest and upright officials lived such an extravagant lifestyle.
“I’ll bring you to a place.”
After parking the car, Lie Feng got out of it and rushed towards the suburb area with Gu Qingjiu.
By now, the skies had darkened. If a timid person were to talk on such a road, they would likely feel quite frightened.
“Alright, you don’t have to bring her there, Lie Feng. I can direct her there.”
Zong Wenjia’s voice rang over the ear mic. Lie Feng paused for a moment, then halted in his footsteps and handed a pair of binoculars to Gu Qingjiu. “Use this to observe the situation later. Listen to Zong Wenjia’s instructions and walk the spot where she specifies.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded and took the binoculars from him, then left immediately without dragging her feet.
“Newbie!”
Lie Feng called out to her. Gu Qingjiu turned her head and saw Lie Feng pointing into the darkness ahead. “If you’re scared, you can just tell me.”
Outside of the Sky River Villa District, there were grassy plains elevated above level ground. Zong Wenjia wanted her to head there.
For a girl to go to such a desolated place all by herself, one couldn’t help but wonder if she would be frightened.
“I’m not scared.”
Gu Qingjiu’s expression was calm, and she merely responded with that line before leaving straightaway.
“Hahahahaha…”
Zong Wenxuan’s loud laughter suddenly rang over the ear mic. “Seriously, Brother Lie Feng!”
He sounded gleeful.
“Stop talking. Be careful. The newbie hears you!”
Zong Wenjia called out to Zong Wenxuan helplessly once more. She then directed Gu Qingjiu over the ear mic. “There’s a GPS in the ear mic. I can see your location and your coordinates. Continue walking ahead. Five hundred meters from there, you will find yourself at an intersection. Climb up-slope from there. But take note, there might be patrolling security guards over there. You must avoid them. Try your best not to get into a conflict with them.”
“Got it.”
Zong Wenjia’s voice sounded cold and aloof to Gu Qingjiu.
To be walking in such a desolated place, furthermore, in the middle of the night…
If it were someone else, they might probably be scared. But not Gu Qingjiu.
As someone who had died once, how could she possibly be scared in such a situation?
The scariest thing in the world weren’t those illusory legends, but humans and their hearts.
Following Zong Wenjia’s instructions, Gu Qingjiu arrived at the mission venue very quickly.
It was a sloped area in the middle section of the villas in Sky River District. From this spot, she could see a brightly lit villa ahead with the naked eye.
