PNB Chapter 65 Blocking the Way
Chapter 65 Blocking the Way
The train station in Entein City was bustling with activity. Everyone was busy with their own affairs. However, some oddly dressed people still attracted a lot of attention.
For example, the basil that is currently leaning against the wall.
She was wearing a large trench coat with the collar turned up high. She also wore a large hat and dark sunglasses.
This kind of outfit practically screams "suspicious person."
"Um... Basil, won't we attract more attention dressed like this?"
Standing next to her, Maya, wearing a mask and sunglasses, tugged at her trench coat somewhat uncomfortably.
"At times like this, you need to project an imposing presence." Basil pushed up his sunglasses and scanned the crowd with his eyes.
Today is the day the Commander will travel with Arc Moon to the Magic Kingdom.
Originally, the Four Heavenly Kings were supposed to gather and storm Arc Moon's house. But the problem was... they didn't know where Arc Moon's house was!
After some discussion, they could only resort to the simplest and most brutal method—blocking the door.
To reach the magical kingdom, one must take a train. Therefore, the Four Heavenly Kings arrived at the station early, disguised, ready to lie in wait.
"But... there are too many people here."
Maya was extremely anxious. "Even if we manage to corner Crescent Moon, if we take direct action, innocent people will definitely get hurt."
This is what Maya is most worried about.
"Just use your special abilities, or maybe a few flashy but harmless fireworks spells to drive them away," Basil waved casually. "Alright, you go wait at the north exit. Leave this to me!"
"Oh, oh..." Maya nodded and quickly headed to the surveillance location she had been assigned.
Basil, meanwhile, watched the crowd with a bored expression. A dozen minutes later, two familiar figures came into view.
…………
Lin Yuyan walked confidently at the front. Su Chenjin, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a suitcase, followed closely behind.
The original plan was to bring Liu Xiali and Xie Lan along as well. However, Su Chenjin approached Lin Yuyan and subtly persuaded her to abandon the idea of taking the two children to the kingdom.
If something really serious happens, it would be too dangerous to let those two kids go with them.
"Miss Lin, you see... Miss Liu Xiali and Miss Xie Lan are only junior high school students, still in school. Taking them to the Kingdom now, isn't that a bit too much of a delay in their studies...?"
That's how Su Chenjin persuaded him at the time.
After all, he couldn't just tell her that a riot was about to break out in the country... He couldn't explain the source of the information.
Finally, after much persuasion, Lin Yuyan gave up the idea of bringing the two junior high school students along.
Of course, Liu Xiali and Xie Lan were extremely dissatisfied, with Liu Xiali even rolling on the ground in anguish. This forced Lin Yuyan to promise that he would take them back to the Kingdom when they took their certification exams, hoping to appease them first.
Naturally, their safety was entrusted to Zhanfeng, the magical girl who stayed behind. Before leaving, Zhanfeng confidently patted her chest and declared, "Leave the safety of these two juniors to me! If anything happens to them, I'll commit suicide!"
…………
Just as Su Chenjin was still sighing, a person wearing a trench coat suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
"???" Lin Yuyan stopped in her tracks, alert.
The next second, the person in front of him ripped off his hat and sunglasses, and threw his trench coat aside—
"Hi, Crescent Moon."
"Basil?!"
Upon seeing the person approaching, Lin Yuyan instinctively took a step to the side, shielding Su Chenjin behind her.
"What do you want to do in this place?" Lin Yuyan asked, her face full of vigilance, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Su Chenjin was completely bewildered.
Wait a minute! What's basil doing here?!
She knows I'm going to the Kingdom? Who told her? Could it be Maya? That shouldn't be possible; she promised me she'd keep it a secret. Or perhaps…it was Zhang Menglin?!
After all, only the two of them knew about my schedule...
In comparison, it seems more likely that Zhang Menglin is the one with the big mouth.
Faced with Lin Yuyan's hostility, Basil did not adopt a fighting stance. Instead, he smiled, spread his hands, and took a step forward.
"Don't be nervous, Arc Moon. There's no fighting today. I'm just here to pick up our people and leave immediately."
After saying that, Basil gave Su Chenjin, who was hiding behind him, a meaningful look.
Feeling Basil's gaze, Lin Yuyan frowned even more deeply.
"...What do you want to do to my Chen Jin?"
"Hmm... that's about it..."
Basil put a finger to her chin, feigning distress, "Our base has suddenly lost a maid who does all the work. Everyone is not used to the changes in daily life, and it might be quite distressing."
Lin Yuyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then let out a cold laugh.
"You're so upset about losing one person to do the work? I think Chen Jin betrayed you, so you want to take her back to punish her!"
"Eh? You saw right through me?" Basil still had a sly smile on his face. "If that doesn't work, then we'll have to go to war."
"...Are you crazy?!"
Lin Yuyan's face darkened. "This is a train station, with so many people here... If we fight here, how many people will die? This completely contradicts the principles of your 'Where the Stars Are'!"
Su Chenjin, standing behind him, also shook her head at Basil, frantically signaling to him: Basil! Don't do anything reckless here!
"Hehe, it seems you know our organization's style very well."
Basil chuckled nonchalantly. "But as long as I activate 'Wonderland,' or use a few harmless firework spells to scare away the ordinary people and clear the area, everything will be fine, right? Creating a little panic is worthwhile to reclaim what belongs to us. In short, as long as there are no casualties, it's fine."
"you……"
Lin Yuyan wasn't afraid of a one-on-one fight with Luo Le. But the problem was, since Luo Le was here, the other "Four Heavenly Kings" were most likely lurking nearby as well. If a fight really broke out, she wouldn't be able to defeat all four of them together.
Just as Lin Yuyan was considering whether to strike first before Luo Le could activate his magical realm, the dangerous smile on Luo Le's face suddenly vanished.
She turned slightly to the side, her tone becoming more relaxed: "Alright, alright, enough joking. Since you're so protective of her, I won't take her with me. You can go to the kingdom instead."
"...What tricks are you playing?" Lin Yuyan didn't relax at all.
"Don't be so wary, I only have one small condition."
Basil's lips curled slightly as he pointed to the blue-haired girl behind Lin Yuyan.
"Just let me have a few private words with Su Chenjin, that's all, simple, right?"
