"I can feel the lock on my body disappear, and now I feel so light and warm all over."
As Irene spoke, her figure gradually began to blur. Li Chonglou, seeing that breaking free from the curse was not painful, couldn't help but smile.
"Travel well."
"Goodbye, everyone."
With Irene's last words, her figure completely vanished from this world.
For some reason, if any normal person were to disappear completely like this, one would at least feel a touch of reluctance. But Li Chonglou felt only relief at this moment.
It was as if Irene's disappearance had also taken away a part of the world's obsession.
Meanwhile, inside the soul vase, everyone was bidding their final farewells to Irene.
"So this is how comfortable soul liberation is. It makes me want to try it too."
"Irene, I'd forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. It seems our soul bodies are all burdened with shackles. We've carried these for hundreds of years, it really feels like they're part of us now..."
"Uh, you know what, now that you mention it, I also feel a bit awkward all over."
Li Chonglou could hear the conversations within the soul vase. This was also the first time he had heard the word "shackles."
However, he couldn't afford to worry about these things for now; finding the person was more important. So, Li Chonglou had Wen Yi take Irene's place to perform soul fusion again.
This time, however, an anomaly occurred.
"Why can't I use the Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance divine ability anymore?"
The soul fusion proceeded smoothly, but after the fusion, when Li Chonglou tried to use his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance, it showed no response.
Puzzled, he could only turn to Old An in the soul vase for an explanation.
"Old An, why do I feel like this soul fusion is different from before? Some of my abilities aren't working?"
"Not working?"
Old An's tone was clearly filled with confusion. However, after examining Li Chonglou's body, he quickly reached a conclusion.
"Little Li, your body is overloaded. Wen Yi hasn't fully fused with your soul."
"You mean I can only use my abilities if the soul fusion is complete?"
"No, you two can't achieve a complete soul fusion right now. Your body is overloaded, and Wen Yi can't control a part of it. It's not reaching a complete fusion effect."
Li Chonglou finally understood. Old An meant his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance divine ability was temporarily unusable!
"But I still feel my released strength after the fusion."
"I told you, it's not a complete fusion effect."
"Alright."
Li Chonglou calmed down instantly. The sudden inability to use his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance at such a critical moment had indeed made him anxious earlier.
However, upon calming down and thinking about it, as long as his strength remained, he could still deal with Liu Fei even without his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance. It would just take a little longer to find him.
With that in mind, Li Chonglou immediately unfurled his movement technique and rushed towards the location he had observed earlier at the fastest speed.
At the same time, Liu Fei felt a sudden sense of crisis and, without thinking, immediately turned and fled.
By the time Li Chonglou arrived, Liu Fei had already disappeared in another direction through the passage.
"So perceptive?"
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed slightly. Judging from the reactions of the passersby, it was evident that Liu Fei hadn't been gone for long. Moreover, during his previous observation, Li Chonglou had already memorized the general layout of the airport, and he had an understanding of where the paths ahead led.
"This time, I won't let you escape again..."
Li Chonglou murmured, not pursuing the same way but taking a detour.
However, this international airport was one of the largest, and despite his understanding, it was difficult for Li Chonglou to intercept him immediately. The passages were too numerous and interconnected, leading to a game of cat and mouse within the airport.
Outside the airport, Lin Qianqian and her subordinates finally arrived.
"Director Lin!"
"Director Lin."
As soon as they got out of the car, the on-site police immediately saluted.
Lin Qianqian waved her hand and then asked them to call the person in charge.
"Reporting to Director Lin, Officer Liu has already gone inside."
"Do you want me to call him out now?"
Lin Qianqian's brow furrowed, but she shook her head and said, "No need. For now, listen to my orders. Secure the perimeter and prevent any vehicles from entering or leaving."
After speaking, Lin Qianqian paused for a moment, then issued another command: "Leave a section of the area open on the north side. No need to post guards."
"The north side?"
The police officer who received the order looked stunned for a moment, then remembered that the north side of the airport was a wilderness fenced off with wire mesh. It was not a place where ordinary people could enter.
So, he didn't think much of it and immediately went to instruct others.
At this time, police forces from other branches also arrived, and the scene was quickly brought under control.
However, there were still many people stranded inside the airport.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Qianqian issued another command: "Everyone, evacuate within twenty minutes!"
This "everyone" naturally included the stranded passengers, and the police officers who received the order understood Lin Qianqian's intention. The time limit of twenty minutes without further instructions implied that force could be used!
Thus, they indeed managed to escort all the passengers out in just ten minutes.
Also emerging was Liu Zhong.
"Director Lin?"
Seeing Lin Qianqian, who was much younger than himself, a hint of surprise flickered in Liu Zhong's eyes, and his expression was somewhat distracted.
However, he still honestly explained the situation inside.
The green bull was ruthless and killed a few people every few minutes. This had forced him, who was originally full of confidence, to comply with the other party's demands. The plane was already prepared, and he was in negotiations with the perpetrator.
"Director Lin, if it weren't for your order, I might have already reached an agreement with him. Now that so much time has been delayed, I'm afraid quite a few more people have died."
This blame-filled tone was not concealed at all. The three cadres who had come with Lin Qianqian exchanged glances, but none of them spoke.
On the contrary, Lin Qianqian seemed accustomed to this and calmly said, "Then it will be recorded in your performance review. Don't worry, I won't steal any of your credit."
Liu Zhong's expression immediately changed.
"Director Lin, what do you mean by that? I came out on your orders!"
"Do I owe you anything?"
One sentence left Liu Zhong speechless.
However, as his expression turned extremely unpleasant, Lin Qianqian took the initiative to offer him a way out, saying, "Let's put this aside for now. The criminals are dangerous, and none of us wanted this, but it seems he won't be able to leave by plane now."
Liu Zhong's expression froze: "What happened?"
Lin Qianqian shook her head, offering no explanation, and instead gave him a command.
