Chapter 443 Ida
Chapter 443 Ida
Inside the Shell organization's rest area, warm yellow light spilled across the metal walls, softening the base's inherent coldness.
A floating screen is suspended in mid-air, playing a well-produced TV series called "Lord Sanfeng Falls in Love with Me".
Ida curled up in the custom-made soft sofa, covered with a light pink blanket, her star-like eyes glued to the screen, her long eyelashes trembling gently with the plot.
Whenever a character imitating Uchiha Mitsumine appears on screen, a faint smile appears on her lips and a slight blush rises to her cheeks, clearly indicating that she is completely immersed in the atmosphere created by the storyline.
Dimon, the younger brother, leaned against the edge of the sofa, his arms crossed over his chest, his brows furrowed slightly the entire time.
If it weren't for Uchiha Sanfeng's cold order, he and his sister wouldn't be imprisoned in this base, not even allowed to step out of the base gate.
The frustration of being deprived of his freedom, coupled with his disgust for the powerful Sanfeng, made him feel extremely annoyed by the TV series that his sister was so engrossed in.
"Sis, what's so interesting about something so boring?"
"That Uchiha Mitsumine is no good person at all! He locked us up here just to use us as tools!"
Ada, however, seemed not to hear his complaint. Without turning her head, her eyes remained glued to the screen: "You don't understand, Lord Mitsumine is amazing. He's so powerful that he can protect so many people..."
In her eyes, the Uchiha Three Peaks were at the top of the pyramid, powerful, majestic, and possessing an inherent charm that commanded respect.
The romanticized portrayal of him in the TV series further fueled her unrealistic fantasies about this man, interpreting his power and control as the unique methods of a strong person.
Dimon pursed his lips, knowing that arguing any further was pointless; his sister's obsession with Sanfeng was deeply ingrained.
He sighed heavily, then picked up a black game console from a nearby storage shelf and began rapidly tapping the buttons, instantly filling the rest area with crisp game sound effects.
He tried to dispel his frustration with the noise of the game, but out of the corner of his eye, he would still uncontrollably keep an eye on his sister's movements.
Just then, a series of staggering footsteps came from the entrance of the base.
Dimon immediately paused the game, his grip on the console tightened slightly, and he looked over warily.
In this closed base, any unusual movement could mean danger.
Guoxin Jushi dragged his weary body in. His black trench coat was covered in dust and dark brown stains, and the hem was torn in several places.
"Oh, it was him. He disappeared for a few days; so he got beaten up."
Ada glanced at it briefly before looking away, her face remaining completely expressionless.
Dimon merely frowned, then lowered his head to continue playing the game, but his fingers moved a few seconds slower.
Within the Shell Organization's base, everyone has their own mission and circumstances. The law of survival is the survival of the fittest. The life or death of Guoxin Jushi is none of the concern of the siblings.
His only concern was his sister's safety and how to find an opportunity to break free from Sanfeng's control and escape this cold cage.
Guoxin Jushi was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently. Each breath aggravated his wounds, causing sharp pain.
All he wants now is to find a place to rest and relieve the soreness and numbness in his body and the fear in his mind.
He dragged his heavy steps, walking slowly and laboriously toward his dwelling. His footsteps thudded on the metal floor, making no extra sound, like a soulless puppet.
After Guoxin Jushi's figure disappeared at the end of the passage, the rest area quickly returned to its previous tranquility.
The dialogue and background music from the TV series intertwined with the sounds of game console buttons, creating an eerie harmony.
However, this brief period of calm did not last long.
Suddenly, Dimon's fingers gripping the game console froze, and the game screen instantly stopped.
Ada seemed to have been put on pause, instantly standing up from the sofa without even noticing the blanket covering her slip off.
The next second, a faint ripple appeared in the space, and the figure of Uchiha Sanfeng appeared at the entrance of the rest area.
He was still wearing a black trench coat, his long hair casually draped over his shoulders, with a few strands falling beside his cheeks, adding to his cold and aloof demeanor.
Ada possesses the divine spells Clairvoyance and Omnipotence, both of which are extremely rare and advanced divine spells with limitless potential.
Previously, because Ada was still young, she had to be kept at the base.
Now that Ada is an adult, her body and strength are at their peak, and it's time for her to reap the rewards.
Uchiha Mitsunori already had a plan in mind: as long as he combined with her through the dual cultivation system, he could successfully obtain Ada's two divine techniques.
By then, he will not only possess the power of the ten directions, but also the ability to see far and wide and the power of omnipotence, so he will be able to truly see the future and control everything, and his chances of defeating Otsutsuki will greatly increase.
"Lord Mitsumi!"
Ida couldn't contain her excitement and joy, like a little bird waiting for its owner to return, her voice clear and eager.
She rushed over with light steps, affectionately taking his arm, her cheek even gently resting against his arm, her tone full of undisguised dependence and adoration: "Why did you come? Did you come especially to see me?"
When Dimon saw this, he wished he could rush up and pull his sister away immediately, but the oppressive aura surrounding Sanfeng made him unable to move.
He forcefully suppressed his fear, stepping half a step in front of Ada like a cub protecting its young, his eyes filled with hostility and warning: "What do you want to do? Don't touch my sister!"
Uchiha Mitsunori glanced at Dimon, completely ignoring the boy's question, and simply looked down at Ada, who was holding his arm: "Come with me, I need you."
"OK!"
Without a second thought, Ada readily agreed, her smile growing even brighter, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Uchiha Sanfeng said no more, and with Ada in tow, they turned and headed toward the private passage deep inside the base.
That area connects to his private area, which is also where he plans to practice dual cultivation.
Seeing this, Dimon could no longer remain calm and hurriedly stepped forward to try to stop him.
But as soon as he took a step, a powerful pressure suddenly erupted from Sanfeng's body.
Dimon lost his balance and staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground.
He could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Mitsunori led his sister away, eventually disappearing around the corner of the passage without even a word of farewell from her.
A strong sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, causing him to clench his fists involuntarily, leaving several bloody marks without him even noticing.
"Damn it... that bastard!"
Dimon gritted his teeth and muttered a curse under his breath.
He knew very well that Sanfeng's sudden departure of his sister was definitely not a good thing.
In Sanfeng's eyes, his sister's naivety and obsession were nothing more than weaknesses that could be exploited.
After a brief moment of anger came a deep-seated worry.
He needed to know his sister's situation and find a way to save her! In his panic, he suddenly remembered the hermit Guoxin who had returned in a disheveled state earlier.
The way Kashin Koji looked when he returned clearly indicated that he had suffered inhuman treatment, and the only person who would treat a member like that in the base was Uchiha Mitsumine.
The other party may also have been coerced, or perhaps they knew about his plot!
Thinking of this, Dimon dared not delay any longer and turned around to run quickly toward the residence of Guoxin Jushi.
Guoxin Jushi's residence is in the members' dormitory near the rest area.
Dimon ran to the door and knocked hard on the metal door. The loud knocking was particularly jarring in the quiet corridor.
He waited less than two seconds and, seeing no response from inside, could no longer restrain himself and pushed open the slightly ajar door.
The room was dimly lit, with only a small lamp on.
Guoxin Jushi was resting by the bedside, having taken off his overcoat.
He paused for a moment when he saw Dimon suddenly barge in, then frowned, his tone clearly weary and impatient: "What are you doing in here? Get out!"
"Did Uchiha Mitsunori do something to you? He forcibly took my sister away, and I want to know what he's trying to do! Please tell me!"
He knew his attitude was rude, but at that moment he couldn't care less; his sister's safety was the most important thing.
Upon hearing this, Guoxin Jushi remained silent for a moment, his eyes dimming slightly.
Dimon's anxiety and helplessness reminded him of his despair under the sacred tree.
"He took me to a desolate battlefield to torture me, broke my limbs, and forced me to awaken divine magic. Once he had fully mastered my divine magic, he threw me back like trash."
"Break all four limbs..."
Dimon's heart sank suddenly, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his blood seemed to freeze.
He instantly understood: his sister possessed two divine abilities: clairvoyance and omnipotence!
That man took my sister away, surely to steal her divine powers!
A surge of intense fear and rage instantly overwhelmed him, causing his entire body to tremble. He could no longer remain calm and turned to run frantically toward the base's exit.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing this, Koshin Koji hurriedly tried to get up and stop him. He shouted at Dimon's back, knowing how terrifying the Uchiha Three Peaks were, and that Dimon's impulsive pursuit would undoubtedly be suicide.
"I'm going to save my sister! Even if it means death, I'll save her!"
He knew he was no match for Sanfeng, and he also knew that venturing out of the base without authorization could come at a terrible price, and he might even lose his life.
But his sister is his only family, and he must protect her!
As soon as Dimon appeared in the passageway at the base's exit, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded, and red warning lights flashed continuously in the passageway, making his face appear bright red.
A cold, mechanical voice blared over the base's loudspeakers: "Warning! Warning! Someone is attempting to breach base defenses! Someone is attempting to breach base defenses!"
