"Okay, then so be it."
Qiu Bi nodded, preparing to leave the amusement park with Cecilia, and planned to buy some food along the way.
The next second, his cell phone rang urgently.
Qiu Bi frowned and took out his phone to check the caller ID.
Since acquiring the communication device produced by Destiny, Qiu Bi has rarely used his mobile phone, and only a few people call it.
"An unfamiliar number...who could this be?"
"I don't know, let me try connecting..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Bi pressed the answer button.
In an instant, Rosalia's anxious voice rang out.
"Big brother, big sister, something terrible has happened! A bad guy broke into the orphanage and took Seele away!"
"What?! Rosalia, protect yourself! Cecilia and I are heading back to the orphanage right now!"
The instant he hung up the phone, Qiu Bi immediately used the power of the Wind Herald, along with the power of the Knowledge Herald, to modify the consciousness of nearby tourists and pedestrians, causing them to subconsciously ignore the two people's actions of flying towards the Cocolia Orphanage.
Not long after, Qiu Bi and Cecilia rushed to the Cocolia Orphanage and immediately prepared for battle.
Neither Qiu Bi nor Cecilia intends to let the people who attacked the orphanage off easily.
However, the orphanage was now left with only terrified children and a scene of utter devastation.
“Cecilia, go and look after these children. I’ll go find Rosalia and Lilia and find out what’s going on here from them.”
"Ah."
Cecilia nodded emphatically, then strode quickly toward the children who were located in the center of the courtyard.
The moment the children saw Qiu Bi and Cecilia, they seemed to have found their anchor, gathering around the two of them, some wailing and some sobbing quietly.
Cecilia patiently and gently comforted the children, trying her best to soothe their psychological trauma, while Qiu Bi strode into the attic to go to Cocolia's study to find Rosalia and Lilia.
Not long after.
Qiu Bi pushed open the door to Cocolia's study and immediately saw Rosalia and Lilia hiding behind the desk.
"Rosalia, Lilia, don't be afraid."
Upon hearing Qiu Bi's voice, Rosalia and Lilia breathed a sigh of relief and then ran towards Qiu Bi.
Qiu Bi knelt down and embraced Rosalia and Lilia.
"Rosalia, Lilia, what exactly happened at the orphanage?"
Rosalia instinctively looked at Lilia, signaling for her to explain.
Lilia pursed her lips and began to recount the whole story.
The children had no idea what was going on. All they knew was that the group of "bad guys" had suddenly broken into the orphanage and started a reckless search until they found Seele before leaving.
"The target is Seele..."
Qiu Bi muttered to himself, suddenly understanding the target of those "bad guys".
If nothing unexpected happens, the real target of those "bad guys" should be the "stigmata" on Seele's body.
"Big brother, what should we do now? Seele has been kidnapped by the bad guys, she should be alright, right?"
"Rosalia, Lilia, don't panic, I'll go and rescue Seele."
"But...those bad guys have guns!"
Rosalia looked worried, knowing full well the horrors of "firearms".
"It's alright, I will bring Seele back safe and sound."
Qiu Bi's confident guarantee acted as a shot in the arm, calming Rosalia and Lilia back down.
"Rosalia, Lilia, go to the courtyard and find Cecilia. She will protect you."
"Ok!"
Rosalia and Lilia nodded in unison, then quickly left Cocolia's study and went to the courtyard to find Cecilia.
Qiu Bi hesitated for a second, then contacted Otto and asked him to help locate the "bad guys".
Otto readily agreed and then devoted himself to tracking down the "bad guys".
After doing all this, Qiu Bi returned to the courtyard and told Cecilia about what had happened at the Cocolia Orphanage.
"Qiu Bi, are you going to rescue Xi'er alone?"
"Yes, you stay at the orphanage to protect the children. I'm worried that someone might attack the orphanage again."
"Then be careful on the road."
Cecilia shared the same concerns and, of course, would not object to Qiu Bi's decision.
……
A warehouse near Lake Baikal.
The mercenaries brought Seele here and then hurriedly went into the warehouse, leaving only two mercenaries to guard the main entrance.
"You all find a place to rest first, I'll take the 'goods' to see the employer."
The captain roughly grabbed Seele's arm, completely disregarding her feelings.
Hearing this, the mercenaries nodded silently and casually found a corner to rest.
The captain led Seele into the inner room of the warehouse, where they saw men in suits.
“I brought the ‘goods’ with me.”
The captain shoved Seele roughly, causing her to stumble toward the man.
The man carefully compared the photos and confirmed that the "goods" were accurate before nodding in satisfaction.
“Yes, she is indeed the cargo in this ‘transaction’.”
"I really don't understand what you rich people are thinking." The captain curled his lip, seemingly disgusted. "There are plenty of women in this country who would sell their bodies for five dollars, yet you're willing to spend three million dollars to buy this little girl..."
"Heh...you have no idea of her value—she holds a secret that could change the world!"
Chapter 117 Seele's "Knight"
A sinister smile played on the man's lips as he bent down and squatted in front of Seele.
"With this child, I can have the power to control the world—isn't that wonderful?"
Upon hearing the man's words, the captain's expression did not change much; he still wore that look of disgust.
“You’re really disgusting… We should get her out of this country now, or it will be much harder for us to leave if that ‘witch’ gets the news.”
"hehe."
The man gave a dismissive smile and explained casually, "Cocolia could never return so soon, at least that's what the man who called himself 'Grey Serpent' said, not to mention..."
"Besides Cocolia, there seems to be only one foreign couple in that orphanage, right?"
"Yes."
“If they dare to come and save this child, I wouldn’t mind sending them to their deaths.”
Upon hearing this, Seele was either in despair or worried about the safety of Qiu Bi and Cecilia. Her expression immediately turned terrified, and tears welled up in her eyes, leaving clear tear tracks on the side of her face.
who……
Someone, please save Seele!
Xi'er didn't want to leave everyone at the orphanage, and she especially didn't want to leave Brother Qiu Bi...
No matter how much Seele prays in her heart, she will be unable to change her impending fate unless she can awaken a "miracle".
“Hey! That couple are doctors specially hired by the ‘witch’, so we can’t treat them like ordinary people.”
"So what? He's just a doctor after all. No matter how outrageous it is, he can't possibly fight off mercenaries, can he?"
The man gave a disdainful smile, then put away Seele's photo and slowly straightened up.
"I hope 'Grey Serpent' hasn't lied to me. If this child doesn't have a secret that could change the world... Heh."
The man gave a sinister smile, and before he could say anything more, there was a soft knock on the door.
In an instant, the man frowned.
"Your team members?"
"should be."
The captain nodded slightly, then walked to the door and asked, "What is it?"
However, no one responded.
The captain immediately became alert, raising his rifle and aiming it at the door.
"I'll ask again—what is it?"
There was still no response.
The captain gripped the trigger, ready to fire at any moment.
"boom!"
The next second, the door seemed to be hit by some heavy blow, suddenly breaking free of the frame and crashing heavily into the captain's body, sending her flying backwards with her.
This sudden turn of events left both the man and Seele stunned.
When Seele saw the person standing at the door, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. All despair vanished from her heart; instead, she was filled with peace and a sense of security.
—It was Qiu Bi who arrived late.
At this moment, Seele's eyes and heart were filled with Qiu Bi, as if Qiu Bi's image was all that remained in her life.
After all, Qiu Bi had pulled her out of the abyss of despair, so he would naturally become her only "pillar" or "source of security".
Girls often develop unusual feelings for this kind of "source of security," and since Xier and Qiu Bi have no special relationship, these feelings are likely to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
"Seele, I'm sorry—I'm late."
