566 Bring your trump card into the grave (2/2)

Jiang Chen's gaze stopped on the hat on the ground.

Jiang Chen picked it up and touched the linen material. He seemed to have detected a metal object hidden in the material.

The captain started to instruct flight attendants to evacuate the first class cabin passengers.

The passengers in the first class cabin started to understand the situation and began to feel anxious. The people who could afford first class were either important or rich. The richer the person, the more fearful they were of death… Of course, Jiang Chen was an exception. Although he had money, he didn't think he would die.

Supplemented with Tanaka's comments, he could piece together what happened.

Kurofune… The Kurofune he referred to should be the Nature Selection sent by the Harmony to Earth. Regarding the civilization fusion he referred to, his understanding of the Natural Selection must not be limited to knowing its existence.

For some reason, the organization led by Tanaka received an electromagnetic wave or Klein particle wave from the Natural Selection; they were subsequently manipulated or even brainwashed to become ”followers” of the Harmony.

After the conclusion of his conversation with the Queen, Jiang Chen already knew the Queen was aware of his ability to engage in interdimensional travel and even knew about his secret storage dimension.

But what still confused Jiang Chen was that until now, they hadn't displayed any desire to kill. It wasn't difficult to understand - just like humans' perception of bugs, crushing them or not wouldn't be linked to the concept of killing, especially since they still wanted to capture him to help them return to their ”home planet.”

What made the Harmony change their opinion and desperately want him dead?

Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

While the undercover cop disarmed the bomb, the captain returned to the cockpit. He needed to send a request to the nearest airport to make an emergency landing. The passengers were evacuated; only three people remained in the first class cabin.

They were Jiang Chen, little Cao, and the flight attendant.

Considering how collected Jiang Chen looked, while the flight attendant was anxious, she was curious at the same time. Typically, it should be her who comforted passengers with unstable emotions, but this passenger was special - he didn't seem to be bothered by the bomb beside him at all.

”Aren't you afraid?” The flight attendant gulped and asked in a quiet voice.

”What's there to be scared of?” Jiang Chen smiled.

”Since it's right beside you…”

”If it really is a bomb, it makes no difference where I sit.”

Only the timing of death would be different.

”Threat deactivated.”

Following a trail of sweat splashing onto the ground, the countdown timer strapped around Tanaka's waist was stopped. Little Cao felt relieved. He accepted the napkin offered by the flight attendant to wipe the sweat off his face.

Just in a short period of time, his entire body was drenched.

”The bomb is disarmed?” Jiang Chen was surprised.

It was deactivated this easily? Jiang Chen didn't feel any better about surviving through it all with how easily the threat was eliminated.

”There was no bomb at all… At least nothing I haven't seen before.” Little Cao spoke while carefully cutting open Tanaka's jacket and he took out a vest with mysterious hanging plastic balls.

The transparent plastic balls were connected together by soft strings. Under the bright light in the cabin, they looked crystal clear.

”At least treat this as a dangerous good for now… Threat is eliminated.”

Just as little Cao was speaking, the body of the plane shook violently as if it had been hit by something.

”Ahh-”

The flight attendant screamed and was flipped to the ground by the shaking body of the plane. Little Cao also tumbled, but as a special forces agent, he held onto what seemed to be the dangerous vest with one hand while holding onto the seat beside him with the other.

”Fu*k! What's going on?!” The dangerous item in his hand almost flew out and almost scared Little Cao to death; he cursed after regaining his footing.

Jiang Chen, who had his seatbelt on, didn't feel too much although the violent shaking did catch him off-guard.

It was normal for the body of the plane to shake when encountering air turbulence, but the continuously trembling of the cabinet made it feel odd.

It clearly wasn't turbulence - it felt like something struck the plane.

Just then, Jiang Chen looked out the window and was stunned.

The turbine engine was burning in fire!
