F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 259 Arrival in Kyoto! An Unusual Calm!

The psionic high-speed train travels silently through the underground light track, with monotonous yet incredibly fast-moving streams of light outside the window.

The deathly silence inside the carriage created an eerie contrast with the previous commotion.

The surrounding passengers cast glances that were a mixture of awe and deliberate distancing, as if Chen Yifan and his two companions were some untouchable danger.

Wang Fugui didn't care at all, sipping his free psychic drink and humming a tune out of tune, his heart as carefree as a horse.

Lin Xiaoyu kept her head down, her fingertips swiping rapidly across the communicator screen as she collected all publicly available information about Kyoto.

Chen Yifan closed his eyes, seemingly dozing, but his brain was working at an unprecedented speed.

Li Yuantu's revenge came faster and more directly than he had anticipated.

But the problem also followed.

That guy couldn't possibly be completely unaware of his own strength.

Send over a few low-level characters who have just reached level two.

A test?

It is also a declaration.

Is it an arrogant declaration of "I've come, I've seen you"?

My first impression of Li Yuantu is that he is extremely arrogant.

However, he was absolutely confident that he could easily manipulate them in Kyoto, his territory.

"Fanzi, do you think those bastards might send people to ambush us at the next stop?"

Wang Fugui lowered his voice and leaned closer.

"Won't."

Chen Yifan didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Using force on the nation's vital arteries is already crossing a red line. Once that scarred man reports back, unless Li Yuantu has been brainwashed, he won't resort to such a stupid method again."

"He'll wait for us in a different way."

He is no longer afraid of Li Yuantu making a move.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

A venomous snake that has already revealed its whereabouts is far less terrifying than the one hiding in the grass.

"Another way? What do you mean?" Wang Fugui scratched his head.

"In a place like Kyoto, there's no shortage of all sorts of rules. If you want someone to be unable to live, there are a million ways to make them walk into a dead end."

Chen Yifan's voice was very soft.

Just then, Lin Xiaoyu looked up and handed over the communicator.

"Brother Yifan, I've found it."

Her voice carried a hint of solemnity.

"The Black Hawk badges on the uniforms of those people belong to a private armed company called 'Black Hawk Security.' This company has a deep background and wields immense power in Kyoto's gray areas. Rumor has it... that its actual controlling shareholder is connected to a retired high-ranking military official."

"military?"

Chen Yifan finally opened his eyes.

The information on the screen led his deductions to a new crossroads.

Li Yuantu, an heir to a chamber of commerce, is using forces with ties to the military.

Things are getting interesting.

What kind of monsters are entrenched in this capital of power?

The rest of the journey was uneventful.

Six hours later, the high-speed train smoothly pulled into Kyoto South Station.

The moment the three of them stepped out of the train carriage, they truly understood the weight of the word "capital".

The dome overhead is not a solid object, but a single, seamless curved screen that dynamically projects a deep cosmic star map, and you can even see nebulae slowly flowing around.

Beneath the ground, countless maglev tracks crisscross, and driverless vehicles flow silently and rapidly through the city's veins like blood.

The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy and a cold, metallic aura.

"Holy crap..."

Wang Fugui tilted his head back, his mouth unconsciously agape.

"Fanzi, is this a high-speed rail station? Even the central square in Jiangcheng City isn't this exaggerated!"

Chen Yifan's heart also trembled slightly.

Compared to this place, Jiangcheng is indeed just a peaceful rural town.

He subconsciously activated his "mind's eye".

hum!

The next second, countless spiritual energy fluctuations of varying strengths transformed into billions of sharp needles, piercing his senses!

powerful!

too strong!

Even a random passerby hurrying along the street could have a psionic level of 30 or higher.

Those law enforcement officers wearing exoskeletons were all at the peak of the second stage of cultivation!

Here, with his level 40, he wouldn't even make a ripple if thrown into a crowd.

Chen Yifan instantly composed himself, suppressing his aura to the extreme, and disguised himself as an ordinary first-stage novice.

"Let's go, get off at the station, and find the school's pick-up point."

He patted Wang Fugui, who was still in a daze.

The three merged into the crowd and walked out of the station exit.

However, none of the anticipated troubles occurred.

Outside the station exit, crowds surged, and apart from senior students holding signs for various universities, there were no suspicious glances or signs of anyone lying in wait.

Chen Yifan's gaze swept over every corner without making a sound, and he even led the two of them around the edge of the square.

It's too quiet.

It was unusually quiet.

Given Li Yuantu's mad dog-like personality, how could he possibly let go of the opportunity to give them a hard time at the exit?

"Fanzi, what are you looking for?" Wang Fugui asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing."

Chen Yifan shook his head, but the doubts in his heart spread rapidly, like ink dripping into clear water.

Could it be... that I overestimated him? Did Li Yuantu really back down?

Absolutely not.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He led the two to the reception area of ​​Kyoto Budo University.

The person in charge of reception was a smiling, cheerful sophomore named Zhou Qing.

"You must be Chen Yifan, Wang Fugui, and Lin Xiaoyu from Jiangcheng, right? Welcome to Kyoto Martial Arts University! I'm your welcoming senior, Zhou Qing."

Zhou Qing was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to help them verify the information.

"Hello, senior." Lin Xiaoyu replied politely.

Wang Fugui chuckled foolishly, a little dizzy from the sight of his senior's beauty.

Chen Yifan's attention wasn't on that; as he registered, he asked, seemingly casually:

"Senior, is our school particularly strict? I feel that the area outside the high-speed rail station is much cleaner than I imagined."

Zhou Qing paused for a moment, then smiled gently:

"Of course! Kyoto Martial Arts University is the top university in the Dragon Kingdom, with security measures equivalent to a wartime fortress. Let alone random people, even an alien mosquito would have to have its genes verified at the school gate before it can fly in!"

Her words deepened Chen Yifan's suspicions.

If that's the case, then Li Yuantu's only chance is to make a move on the high-speed train.

But he only sent a few useless people.

Now that I've entered Kyoto and am heading straight for Wuhan University, once I enroll, it will be like entering an impregnable fortress.

Where does Li Yuantu's opportunity lie?

This contradictory behavior is completely illogical.

After registration, Zhou Qing led them onto a hover school bus.

Inside the car, a dozen or so bright young people from all over the country were excitedly discussing their future university life.

Chen Yifan and the other two sat in the back row.

He leaned against the window, watching the cyberpunk-style skyscrapers rush by outside, his mind racing through every detail.

From getting on the bus to getting off the bus.

Throughout the entire process, apart from the mysterious "Black Hawk Security" group, nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

Li Yuantu seems to have vanished from his world.

This is completely unreasonable.

unless……

A cold, chilling thought, which even made his own heart pound, suddenly popped into his head without warning.

Unless, the group of people on the high-speed train were not sent by Li Yuantu at all!

If it wasn't him... then who was it?

In this unfamiliar and vast Kyoto, who else would be interested in a "country bumpkin" like him who just came from Jiangcheng?

Moreover, the target was frighteningly precise, aimed directly at him.

In an instant, Chen Yifan felt as if he were entangled in an invisible spider web.

The once clear relationship between prey and hunter instantly became blurred.

An unknown enemy lurking in the shadows is far more dangerous than a mad dog jumping in the open.

"Fellow students, this is Kyoto Budo University!"

Senior Zhou Qing's clear voice interrupted Chen Yifan's thoughts.

He looked up and gazed out the window.

The next moment, his breath caught in his throat.

That's not a university.

That was a city!

Towering buildings, defying the laws of physics, pierce the clouds, connected by shimmering energy corridors.

The outermost layer is a huge, pale golden energy shield that is visible to the naked eye, like an inverted sky, enveloping the entire complex.

The entire city is suspended nearly 100 meters above the ground!

Wang Fugui pressed his face tightly against the car window, his eyes almost bulging out.

"I...I...Fanzi, are we here to go to school, or...or..."

Chen Yifan did not answer.

He just stared intently at the sky city, and a thought became incredibly clear in his mind.

This place was a hundred times more complicated than he had imagined.

And those people who made the move in Jiangcheng.

Who is it?
