The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 263 Initial Communication Between the Officials and the Wizard

Just ten minutes after Feng Yi left, a bright red figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere from the quiet shadows behind the tree.

The figure appeared there silently, like a ghost, as if it had always belonged to this darkness.

However, the red figure did not take any immediate action, but simply stood still, like a statue, motionless.

Its gaze was fixed on the direction Feng Yi had left, as if it could see Feng Yi's receding figure through that void.

After a while, Ye Zhuo slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the direction of the tree canopy to the side, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an arrogant smile.

"Is the data collection almost complete? Now I can finally begin my hunt, right? Beautiful Miss Mu Qing!" Ye Zhuo's voice was wild and deep, yet it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.

As he finished speaking, a slight rustling of leaves came from behind, as if a gentle breeze had blown by.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Qing's figure appeared beside Ye Zhuo like a phantom.

Mu Qing held her magic wand tightly in her hand, which was now resting lightly on Ye Zhuo's shoulder, conveying a faint sense of threat.

"I've collected almost all the data on Beast, and its value is gradually disappearing." Mu Qing's voice was equally calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

However, her words implied an unquestionable determination.

“But…” Mu Qing paused for a moment, then continued, “I don’t care what you want to do afterward, if it affects the Sage’s plans, I will make sure you die a horrible death, so horrible that you never want to die again!”

When she said this, Mu Qing's eyes turned unusually cold, as if they could freeze a person.

Her warning was like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Ye Zhuo, sending chills down one's spine.

Ye Zhuo showed no fear in the face of Mu Qing's threat; he simply raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

However, before he could respond, Mu Qing's figure vanished from the spot just as she had appeared, as if she had never been there at all.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhuo expressionlessly raised his hand and gently wiped away the remaining magic power on his neck.

As he wiped, the exaggerated expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an elusive calm.

the other side.

The atmosphere in He Jun's ward, a doctor at the border military region, was somewhat tense.

Wizard was staring at Xiao Yi in front of him. His gaze fell on Tsunami after Xiao Yi's transformation, and a hint of sigh appeared on his face.

"What, you're unwilling to talk, so you're going to resort to force?" Wizard said with a sneer. "Is the Ming military really this domineering?"

Faced with the wizards' questioning, Mu Zenan quickly waved his hand and explained politely, "Don't worry, sir, our border defense military region has no ill intentions."

"I just wanted to ask you about phantoms and things like 'Gates' like He Jun's."

However, Wizard clearly didn't believe Mu Zenan's words. He smirked and replied sarcastically, "Ha! You already know quite a lot, why are you asking me, a mere commoner,?"

"And then again, if you just wanted to talk to me about some related topics, why bring so many guns and people outside? If I wanted to leave, you wouldn't be able to stop me!" Wizard glanced at the direction outside the ward door and teased.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zenan shouted loudly towards the door without hesitation, "Everyone! On my command, about-face! Forward march! Immediately go downstairs to stand guard. No one is to be allowed up without my permission!"

His voice was powerful and authoritative.

As soon as he gave the order, a rapid and orderly sound of footsteps rang out, surging out of the room like a torrent, and then gradually faded away.

In the blink of an eye, the once noisy second-floor ward became unusually quiet, leaving only Mu Zenan, Xiao Yi, Wizard, and He Jun, who was lying quietly to the side watching the drama unfold.

Witnessing all this, the wizard couldn't help but secretly admire Mu Zenan's decisiveness and resolve.

After sensing Mu Zenan's sincerity, Wizard decided to reveal some important information about the phantom to him.

After all, the Ming army has always been known for its reliability and possesses abundant official resources, which will undoubtedly be of great help in solving the current problem.

Time slips away quietly, and every second seems exceptionally long.

Finally, the wizard took a deep breath and began to tell Mu Zenan and Xiao Yi everything he knew about the phantoms and why they were looking for special humans like the "Gate".

Mu Zenan and Xiao Yi listened intently, their brows furrowing and relaxing at times, their expressions changing constantly with the wizard's narration.

When the wizard finished speaking the last word, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Mu Zenan and Xiao Yi, who had deactivated their transformations, exchanged a glance. Their eyes met, and they could see the undisguised seriousness and solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Alright, that's about it. It's getting late, I should be going!" With that, Wizard ignored Mu Zenan and the other man, quickly raised his right hand, and a dazzling light burst forth from his palm, instantly forming a huge and complex magic circle.

The wizard's figure appeared and disappeared in the light, ready to leave through the magic circle at any moment.

"and many more!"

Wizard paused slightly, stopping his steps before entering the magic circle, and turned to look at Xiao Yi.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi quickly took out a metal card from his pocket. The card gleamed silver under the light and had the words "Special Operations" engraved on it.

Xiao Yi raised his hand and flung the card out. The card flew out like lightning and landed steadily in the wizard's hand.

"Please keep this safe. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can ask the higher-ups for help," Xiao Yi explained.

The wizard took the card and examined it carefully.

The card's material appears to be very special, and the words "Special Operations" on it exude a solemn atmosphere.

The wizard remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse. He put the card into his pocket and then stepped into the magic circle again.

With a dazzling flash of light, Wizard's figure completely disappeared from the ward, and the magic circle slowly dissipated.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

This at least proves that the wizard is not entirely opposed to "official" entities, which makes it possible for the two sides to have more exchanges and cooperation in the future.
