"Refuse?" The man chuckled. "Let's see how you refuse."
As he finished speaking, he casually took out a paper charm from his bosom and waved it at Chen Yifei. The four large characters on the paper suddenly shone brightly—
[Command to Follow]
A beam of light shot from the paper charm into Chen Yifei's body. Chen Yifei's whole body trembled, and despite his efforts, he couldn't move an inch.
What skill of the Book God Path is this again?
Chen Yifei's face was extremely gloomy. Although he couldn't move his body, it seemed that his speech was not restricted. He spoke in a cold voice,
"It's a crime to unlawfully detain an enforcer of the Aurora Domain."
"Unlawful detention? Who saw it?"
Upon hearing this, the two enforcers behind him immediately turned around, looking at the sky of Winter Harbor as if they were unaware of everything happening inside the room.
"Kid, don't be too naive... This world doesn't always make sense." The man glanced at him and turned to walk out of the room.
[Audience Expectation +5]
Chen Yifei felt as if his body was being pulled by strings, involuntarily following. Piercing cold wind poured into Winter Harbor from the Frozen Sea. Chen Yifei, wearing only a thin clothing, slowly walked towards the snowy ground.
Chen Yifei frowned and glanced around with the corner of his eye. The enforcers who had surrounded the entire Winter Harbor were gone, and only a few who were still busy here turned their heads subconsciously and walked around.
Chen Yifei's heart sank... Although he guessed that the Starlight Chamber of Commerce had immense power, he didn't expect them to openly violate the rules of Aurora City and take him away directly from Winter Harbor.
The order and rules of the Aurora Domain were far more chaotic than he thought.
Chen Yifei followed the man like a puppet, his brain racing as he tried to find a way out of this predicament. Unfortunately, he couldn't even move a finger now.
He just followed the man, walking through the bustling streets of Winter Harbor, and arrived around a simple train station platform.
"Two tickets for K15, to Aurora City, thank you."
The man walked to the ticket booth and spoke politely.
The ticket seller looked at him and Chen Yifei behind him. "You can buy tickets, but you need qualifications to enter the city; otherwise, you will be forcibly sent back... You should know that, right?"
"We know."
Seeing the man calmly nod, the ticket seller didn't say much more. Two tickets were handed to the man.
He took Chen Yifei to the platform to wait for the train. There were other passengers on the platform, but they just glanced at the two of them and didn't pay attention anymore.
Both Chen Yifei and the man were in plain clothes. In their eyes, they were just two ordinary passengers, no different from others.
Chen Yifei looked at the passengers around him and was about to say something when the man in front of him said slowly,
"I advise you not to try to seek help... Otherwise, I don't mind killing everyone here."
Chen Yifei's eyes hardened.
Just now, he did have the idea of seeking help. After all, he couldn't move his body now and could only rely on speaking to find a way out. Since the magistrates and enforcers were unwilling to be enemies with this man, as long as there were more witnesses, it wouldn't be easy for the man to take him away...
Unfortunately, this man's morals were shockingly low.
"Are all the people in Aurora City butchers like you?" Chen Yifei asked in a cold voice.
"Of course not." The man replied calmly, "But since you want to be someone's dog... You naturally have to be prepared to get into trouble."
Clang——Clang——Clang——
Just as the two were talking, a steam train roared towards them. Accompanied by a deafening deceleration sound, the steel beast slowly crawled before the two.
"K15 to Aurora City, all aboard!" The conductor's voice called out.
The man patted the dust off his coat and walked straight into the carriage. Chen Yifei stiffly lifted his foot and followed.
This train to Aurora City only had one trip a day because very few people would take it... The vast carriage was empty, and besides them, there were no other passengers.
The man casually chose a window seat, took the latest newspaper from the metal shelf, and started reading.
"Sit down." The man spoke without lifting his head. "It's about four hours from here to Aurora City. Cherish your last moments."
At this moment, Chen Yifei felt as if two mountains were pressing on his shoulders, forcing him to sit in the chair opposite the man.
"...I want to go to the toilet."
Chen Yifei thought for a long time and could only come up with this clichéd line from countless films and TV works.
"No, you don't."
"Yes, I do."
"Do you think I can't control your body to go to the toilet? Just let you walk to the toilet, undo your pants, and then..."
"...Forget it, I don't want to."
Chen Yifei gave up on this clumsy escape plan.
The steam whistle sounded through the clouds. This steel beast crawling along the tracks moved slowly, and the low clanging sound came again... Chen Yifei's heart was extremely frustrated.
It was almost impossible for him to escape from this fourth-stage cultivator by his own strength. He had to wait until he entered Aurora City and find a way to let the people from the Twilight Society come to save him... But how to implement it specifically?
Just as Chen Yifei was thinking hard, a gunshot like thunder sounded from outside the carriage!
Bang——!!
Immediately afterward, the driving wheel at the bottom of the train violently exploded. Chen Yifei only felt the train body shake violently and then tilt to one side.
The newspaper stand beside the man fell on the spot, and the hot teacup shattered on the ground. The conductor's exclamation sounded from outside the carriage, and the whole train was braking rapidly in violent shaking!
The man's face changed. He grasped the fixed table to stabilize his body and turned to look out the window... Blinding sparks erupted on the snow, and a figure slowly walked out from it.
"Sir!" The conductor at the station hurried over. "What are you..."
"Shut up!"
Bang——!
The door of the carriage was kicked open by someone!
Cold wind mixed with snowflake fragments swirled into the carriage, and a figure in a black windbreaker stepped onto the ground of the carriage... He held a gun in his right hand, and the black barrel was still emitting blue smoke.
Upon seeing that familiar face, Chen Yifei was startled for a moment, followed by a sudden contraction of his pupils!
"Chen Yifei, the law enforcer from District Three." The man stood among the broken glass shards, speaking calmly, "Instead of reporting to District Three immediately after emerging from the Ancient Military Treasure, where are you heading?"
"Han... Meng?" Chen Yifei's eyes were filled with surprise.
He never expected to encounter Han Meng here... considering this was not Han Meng's jurisdiction, but rather Winter Harbor, which was hours away from District Three!
The man's brows furrowed as he slowly rose to his feet, standing on one side of the carriage while Han Meng stood on the other, facing each other from a distance.
"Where he's going is none of your concern." The man slightly turned his head, "Which district's law enforcer are you? Dare you to compete for the person Yan, the president, wants?"
Han Meng didn't speak. He calmly lifted the gun barrel that was still emitting bluish smoke, aiming the muzzle at the man's glabella,
"I'm taking my subordinate back... why should it matter to you?"
