Moving bricks was a daily job, and Feng Yi was busy on the construction site when he unexpectedly ran into Bai Zhexian. Mary was there too. Upon seeing Feng Yi, she was dumbfounded, thinking to herself, this kid, with his Rank 3 strength, doesn't seem to be very bright. He could do anything, yet he chose to do hard labour on a construction site like some drifter.
The two of them nodded in recognition and then ignored Feng Yi, appearing to discuss the layout of the building.
As Feng Yi munched his box lunch, the voices of their conversation inevitably reached his ears. From their jests, he could clearly sense Bai Zhexian's seriousness about the matter. Was this place indeed extremely unlucky? Just as he wanted to continue eavesdropping, their short conversation came to an end.
Watching their departing backs, Feng Yi turned to the man sitting next to him feeling puzzled, "Bro, what do those people do?"
"They perform rituals. Sigh, there've been frequent accidents on the site recently. It's been harder to earn a living each passing day." The man took a swig of wine and then eyed Feng Yi up and down. "Kid, don't tell me you're new here."
"Hehe, I just arrived today. Is there a problem with that?"
"Just arrived today... No wonder, no wonder. Well, there are serious issues alright…" The man said, beating around the bush.
Feng Yi didn't push and playfully asked for the reason.
The man said, "Have you ever seen a construction site where everyone must stop working after 5 p.m.?"
"How do you mean?"
"It's a long story." The man put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and said, "This place has bad feng shui and strange things often happen, especially after 5 p.m. Over the past month, there have been several incidents of people falling to their deaths from high places. A lot of knowledgeable people were called previously but none could resolve it. Recently, an expert arrived. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"The expert also couldn't do anything. He said not to continue disrupting the feng shui layout for now, or things would get worse. The layout has already been disrupted, but it's still stable. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps." The man made a dramatic gesture.
"Hehe, brother, do you also believe this?"
"When it happens to you, you have no choice but to believe."
Feng Yi shook his head and chuckled, for with a clear conscience he had no fear of ghosts and spirits. The two struck up another conversation and before long it was time to work again.
However, while working, Feng Yi was constantly releasing his Mental Power to sense any special magnetic field fluctuations. As everyone knew, the so-called spirits were just a manifestation of magnetic fields. Any talk about compasses driving away ghosts was nonsense. At best, their effect was considerably reduced. The real purpose of a compass was to sense some magnetic fields that ordinary people could not feel.
Unfortunately, Feng Yi didn't sense any major fluctuations in the surrounding magnetic field all afternoon, which reinforced his suspicions about the matter. Whether they existed or not was still the question. But anyway, Triangular Star was now taken over by the Federation. Any future happenings were no longer his concern.
The next day, a civilian plane from the Federation landed punctually at Maraca's Freedom Port. Two beautiful figures emerged from the crowd; the bustling spaceport could not hide their radiant brilliance.
One of the women was as cool as frost and quiet like a virgin, her wound-up purple hair adding a touch of mystery to her magnificent temperament. The other was passionate and fiery, her fiery red hair highlighting her unique personality. They were making their way directly to the bus exit, garnering countless looks along the way.
As expected, Maraca's Freedom Port lived up to its name, mirroring the dream city in the rumors. The enchanting landscape was a delight to the eyes. Angelina flicked her hair and basked in the admiring male gazes. After all, charm was part of her strong suit.
Even Zi Mou, for all her calm and collected demeanor, was showing a trace of curiosity. While she hide it well, she couldn't escape Angelina's attention. For an instant, Zi Mou clearly seemed lost in thoughts.
"Well, is this the Triangular Star that Feng Yi won? It really is prosperous." Stepping off the bus, Angelina twirled on the spot in a display of her feelings.
"I've been waiting for you." As he said these words, Feng Yi couldn't help feeling surprised. Wasn't Zi Mou supposed to carry out the planned task alone? Why had this woman suddenly appeared?
As a special envoy from the Federation, Feng Yi's job was to ensure the safe travel of the two women to the Saudi Empire. Success was the only option, not failure. Relations had been severed between the Federation and the Saudis for many years, with very strict checks at the border. Therefore, Zi Mou had to take commercial flights and the like. Unlike Maraca, the journey was expensive due to smuggling, and there was the risk of piracy. That was why Feng Yi was accompanying Zi Mou to Saudi.
As for passports and other formalities, the higher-ups had arranged everything. They not only had new names, but also had new backgrounds and family members. As an older brother, Feng Yi had always protected his younger sister. Of course, Zi Mou was the only weakness of this iron soldier Feng Yi.
Over the years, living at Maraca's Freedom Port, Feng Yi had even killed for Gomez. He was a right-hand man. But then, since those damned black-clad soldiers appeared, he had lost his obedience, his power, everything. Triangular Star was no longer a place for him, and it was all because of the Federation. Filled with hatred, he decided to take his sister away from here and look for other opportunities. His name was Feng Yi - no, that's a slip of the tongue - his name was Shadow.
