Chapter 581: Chapter 579 Kidnapping
Just after this instant, the crisp sound of the snap made everything flowing around come to a halt.
On the street, where there were already few vehicles, they turned into a blurred phantom fixed on the pavement alongside Fujiwara. The dust floating in the sky also crystallized into sparkling bright spots, and the moonlight solidified into beams as if illuminating only the hotel in front of them.
Right at the entrance, two black men in black suits stepped out, leaving a gap that wasn’t too small.
"They are bodyguards, stepping out for a smoke," Fujiwara said.
Lin Yan and Fujiwara Makoto quickly ran up and, with their size, easily squeezed through the gap.
It was Lin Yan’s first time entering the famous Pei Guode Hotel. She had never been inside before, even when she came to Etolia for scientific research and never stayed here. After all, the cost of a single room per night at Pei Guode was her annual salary.
The main color scheme inside the hotel was black, but it was paired with just the right amount of gold tones, supplemented by warm yellow lighting, making the entire lobby atmosphere ambiguous, luxurious, and solemn.
"This is the place..." Lin Yan whispered.
Even though time had stopped, she still tiptoed and spoke in a hushed voice, afraid that people around might notice them.
Fujiwara Makoto was familiar with this place. Even though she had fallen out with Wei Tianyang, returning to this place still made her feel a bit lost.
"Take the stairs, on the 28th floor," Fujiwara said.
The two bypassed the lobby, went to the back, passed several black bodyguards, and found the fire escape illuminated by a blinking green safety light.
After climbing 28 floors continuously, Lin Yan was so exhausted she almost threw up. Fujiwara Makoto initially wanted to use her power to assist in climbing, such as floating herself up on a tray, but she was afraid Wei Tianyang could sense her power, so she climbed the stairs with Lin Yan, feeling a hot stream in her throat and a sour taste in her mouth.
It was a struggle, but they finally reached the 28th floor and rested at the stairway landing for a long time.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Yan cautiously peeked out from the fire escape, carefully observing the quiet corridor.
She saw three children frozen in a running pose in the hallway.
"Little Fatty, Osco, and Dean," Fujiwara recognized the children and said.
"What about the others?" Lin Yan asked.
"There are many children, from the 28th to the 26th floor, they have rooms," Fujiwara replied.
"We can’t lift the time stop too many times!" Lin Yan said anxiously.
"I know... Let’s save my children first. They are already in the objective reality. I’ll bring them here, just wait a moment," Fujiwara said.
Lin Yan looked at her, they exchanged a glance, and when Fujiwara was ready, Lin Yan snapped her fingers. In an instant, time resumed its flow and Fujiwara slipped into the objective reality.
In just a moment, Fujiwara reappeared, and Lin Yan stopped time once again.
In just 2 seconds, nothing around them seemed to have changed, but Fujiwara looked very tense.
"Did you get them? Where are they?" Lin Yan also asked nervously.
Fujiwara nodded and said, "Downstairs... crowds of people, it’s packed, right in the corridors, but he already knows we are here..."
Lin Yan bit her molar and said, "That fast..."
"He can see through things, hear our thoughts... He was talking to Rada Gan the moment you lifted the time stop, he found us... We need to move fast," Fujiwara said.
The two quickly descended the stairs. Now, the hallway was filled with simply dressed deformed children, their superpowers completely regressed, just pitiful creatures with terrifying appearances. Now, this group of deformities was frozen in time, maintaining their movements from a second ago.
"Release the time stop effect on them and bring them into that space," Fujiwara said.
Lin Yan, of course, knew what to do. She controlled her power and snapped her fingers again, and the gang of deformities became noisy.
"Quick, quick!" Fujiwara urged.
Lin Yan opened the portal, and the deformities obediently rushed in, one after another, and in no time, they all left the hotel.
Fujiwara Makoto showed a smile, feeling the biggest burden lifting from her heart. Now, only the war orphans remained.
"We still have time," Fujiwara said.
Lin Yan was already a bit scared, knowing how fast Wei Tianyang could move.
"Those children... they are too scattered, we don’t have time to knock on each door one by one, he could come charging anytime, you should know how fast he is," Lin Yan said.
"I know, now is the time they gather to read stories," Fujiwara said.
"What stories?" Lin Yan asked, puzzled.
"They gather in Cha Na’s room to listen to him read. That boy now adores him, emulating him, spending his days buried in books, and sharing stories with the other children at night," Fujiwara pointed to the top room on the 28th floor.
Lin Yan followed the direction Fujiwara Makoto was pointing and saw another room next to that one, but it was sealed off.
"We only have one chance, if they aren’t all in there... then we can only take some of them first," Lin Yan said.
Fujiwara Makoto had no objections and nodded.
The two approached the room door, Lin Yan gathered her emotions then lifted the time stop.
The elevator clanged open, and a handsome, white-haired man emerged. He glanced in the direction of Lin Yan and Fujiwara with a bright smile on his face.
"Fuji..." he had just begun to speak when time suddenly froze, and he was stuck in place.
"It’s Yaha! ... Yaha has come down...!" Fujiwara exclaimed.
At that moment, Lin Yan had already opened the door. Inside the small room, more than thirty children were gathered, but it didn’t seem to be all of them.
She released the time freeze on these children. At that moment, a young boy holding a thick book, standing among the children, looked towards her with a face full of doubt and caution.
"Who are you?" the boy asked.
Fujiwara Makoto had also walked into the room by then. She addressed the boy, "Cha Na! Come with us!"
Cha Na closed his book. The children in the room looked a bit surprised as they whispered among themselves, glancing at Lin Yan and Fujiwara Makoto.
"Such behavior is betrayal," Cha Na declared.
"He hurt me first. Cha Na, he has changed. Staying by his side, staying here, will only become more dangerous," Fujiwara Makoto said.
"No, you don’t understand. Some sacrifices are necessary," Cha Na shook his head.
"Stop being foolish. He only makes others sacrifice! Everything he wants is built on a pile of dead bodies! If you don’t come with us, you will eventually be led to the operating table," Fujiwara said.
Lin Yan added, "Children, listen to me. His saving you is just to satisfy his own definition of kindness, which is hypocritical. One day, when he no longer needs that satisfaction, you will either become a burden or his consumables... Leave him while you still have the chance."
The room was eerily silent. Some children were already shaken. Lin Yan opened the teleportation portal and said, "Come on, think for yourselves! Haven’t you seen enough of what he has done?"
"This is betrayal! How could you betray Brother Yang’s care for us!" Cha Na shouted angrily.
"Cha Na... maybe they are right. I... I want to find my parents too. The news said the civil war back home seems to have stopped..." an older girl said.
"I... I don’t want to leave my parents either," a younger boy added.
"Cha Na! Brother Yang dealt me a death blow. Had this woman not saved me, I would have been killed by him! You will face the same fate one day! Leave him with me! It’s not too late!" Fujiwara said.
"You all are traitors... You don’t understand him, and you don’t understand me," Cha Na said.
"Then we won’t persuade you any further, and you shouldn’t try to stop the other kids," Lin Yan said.
Half of the children glanced at Cha Na, then turned and jumped into the teleportation portal, leaving only 12 children in the room.
"I will come for you all one day! You traitors... all traitors must die... must die..." Cha Na muttered under his breath.
"It’s time to go," Fujiwara said.
Lin Yan nodded, paused time for the remaining children, and jumped into the teleportation portal, waving at her from inside.
But Lin Yan suddenly had a new idea.
She shook her head, closed the teleportation portal, and ran toward the corridor outside.
At that moment, Yaha was still standing at the elevator entrance, smiling at the doorway.
Lin Yan ran up and grabbed Yaha, saying, "Come with us... that way... he won’t dare to act rashly."
Saying this, she ended Yaha’s time freeze.
Yaha hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly felt someone grabbing his collar. He looked down and saw a woman with eyes glowing blue in front of him.
"Where have you taken Fujiwara?" Yaha asked.
"You’ll know soon enough. Just cooperate, and I won’t make you suffer," Lin Yan threatened.
Yaha chuckled, watching Lin Yan open the teleportation portal.
"Get in!" Lin Yan commanded.
Yaha shook his head, "Do you know... what you are doing?"
"I’m kidnapping you," Lin Yan said.
As she spoke, she saw someone slowly walking down the corridor at the end...
Wei Tianyang!
"How could it be... how..." Lin Yan gasped.
Wei Tianyang was running, but his speed was extremely slow, slower than a normal person’s walking pace, yet the surrounding time was paused; he shouldn’t be able to move!
"You want to kidnap me?" Yaha asked.
"Get in!" Lin Yan shoved Yaha.
Yaha chuckled, straightened his collar, waved at Wei Tianyang, and stepped into the teleportation portal.
Wei Tianyang, with his eyes flashing red and a fierce smile on his face, was rushing over.
Lin Yan glanced at him fearfully and immediately jumped into the teleportation portal.
