Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 488 - 483: Impressive Obscure Knowledge

Huang Ying’s face changed, "Hold it in!"

Ji Ning’s pupils contracted slightly, and an immense spiritual power instantly enveloped the detective’s mind.

Directly making him forget the feeling of nausea.

This swaying didn’t last long before someone opened the container and carried them out, tossing them into a small cargo hold.

While throwing them, they threatened, "I’m telling you, we’re already on the ocean. If you run around again, we’ll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

Saying this, they glared fiercely at Ji Ning and Huang Ying.

Because of these two, they lost three million in revenue, just thinking about it was heartbreaking.

These talented kids are worth more the younger they are.

They also went through a lot of trouble to gather them, only for these two brats to set them free.

Thinking about this, he wanted to kick them hard, but was afraid of damaging them, making them less valuable.

Ji Ning, who was thrown on the ground, turned over and looked at the two at the door.

Frankly said, "We’re hungry."

The two intended to curse back, but somehow the words turned into a grumble, "Wait, eat eat eat, why don’t you just eat yourselves to death?"

Ji Ning coldly replied, "If we eat to death, how will you make money?"

The two immediately choked on their words, their expression changed slightly, then they fiercely glared at them and locked the cargo hold door.

After turning around, their gaze instantly shifted, becoming somewhat dazed.

Inside the hold, there are 16 detectives, exactly matching 16 target students.

There were also some children whose ages Ji Ning found younger, all secretly relocated by Security Bureau detectives, so they didn’t even have a chance to be taken away.

The remaining 16 were all aged between 15-18.

Just didn’t expect they abducted three more from somewhere, thankfully they were set free.

The cargo hold contained a few fish barrels, the smell was extremely fishy, making people feel nauseous.

Several detectives also couldn’t maintain their disguise, crawling to the tiny window, blowing the sea breeze.

The tiny window wasn’t completely locked, allowing bursts of sea wind to blow in, dispersing some of the foul smell.

The space inside the cargo hold was larger than the carriage, but everyone still needed to lean against each other, curled up.

The wood element ability investigator observed Ji Ning for a long time before suddenly asking, "Why didn’t you escape earlier?"

Ji Ning turned and glanced at him, "No strength left."

The wood element ability investigator felt a trace of doubt.

He had been near the carriage door at the time and clearly saw the two had a chance to escape, but in order to stop those people, they were captured again.

The process seemed like that, but he was a mutant wood element ability user, naturally strong in communicating with plants; when he began controlling the surrounding trees, those plants could act as his eyes.

Through the plants, he sensed a weak and unfamiliar energy, not You Le’s ability.

So this girl in front of him was not You Le.

Who is she then?

Could she be an undercover agent like him?

Ji Ning knew he was suspicious.

Being an 8th-tier Control Ability User and a mutant wood element ability, having some special powers was understandable, as long as they didn’t interfere with her matters in the future.

Knowing was knowing.

Ji Ning glanced at Huang Ying, seeing her blink.

...

The small fishing boat swayed on the ocean for a long time before the cargo hold door was opened.

Black Bear’s assistant led a person dressed in a black robe, wearing a white mask covering head to toe, standing outside the door watching them.

"This batch is top-grade. The boss said must be at least this amount." Black Bear’s assistant gestured five.

The masked person did not haggle, just nodded slightly, agreeing.

Black Bear’s assistant’s face immediately lit up with a smile, roughly saying, "Pay here, I’ll ship them to your boat."

The detectives inside the cargo hold were filled with anger.

Unexpectedly in the peaceful era they assumed, such unseen dark trades still existed.

Abducted children being treated like goods, bought and sold randomly.

Completely devoid of dignity...

Ji Ning sensed the bodily and emotional changes of the people around her, her gaze remaining calm.

Trades like these breed in every dark corner globally.

Only the complete destruction of these cancerous nests can reduce such tragedies.

They were then transported in batches onto speedboats, then from speedboats to a larger cargo ship.

Ji Ning looked at the markings on the cargo ship, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Not a Huang Family ship...

Since Huang Liu’s incident last time, the Huang Family’s business in the West Continent had decreased significantly.

Obviously, someone in the West Continent suspected the Huang Family was being watched, daring not to transport goods through them.

Before, Mr. Huang complained to Ji Ning, later expanding cooperation with the Gu Family through Ji Ning’s connections, finally settling matters.

"South Ocean Vis family’s ship." The wood element ability investigator muttered softly.

The sea waves were strong, his voice covered by the waves, but Ji Ning still heard, glancing over.

The wood element ability investigator didn’t expect her hearing was so sharp, immediately averting his eyes, pretending nothing happened.

Ji Ning once again pulled up his information from her mind; it looked very ordinary.

He loved plants since childhood, awakened his ability at 8, sent to a special class to study, proceeded step by step to work.

A very ordinary growth path for an ability user, never left Hua Continent.

Well-versed in obscure knowledge.

When they boarded the cargo ship, the accommodation improved a little.

Though still in the cargo hold, it was clean without any odors and the space was large.

Like knowing they couldn’t escape, Ji Ning and Huang Ying were also untied.

Though their meals still contained drugs making them powerless or suppressing abilities.

After sailing on the ocean for seven or eight days, the cargo ship finally docked.

They were then transferred onto land, but calling it land was inaccurate, it was a private island.

Upon entering the island, they realized it was near the South Ocean, within South Continent’s territory.

Fine white sand quietly paved the beach, tall coconut trees brimming with ripe fruits.

The island’s scenery was beautiful, if here for a vacation, enjoying the leisure would be delightful, but they were "children" abducted to an unfamiliar place, should be anxious and uneasy, downcast and timid.

Ji Ning watched the detectives around her getting into character, lowered her head, trying not to draw attention.

She just couldn’t master these performances.

...

After walking for over ten minutes, several robed people led them to a lush green lawn.

There, many children dressed in white were sitting on the grass singing.

Their eyes filled with joy and happiness, devoid of any fear or timidity, nor did they show curiosity or interest toward Ji Ning and the others.

They were entirely ignored by these children.

And in their midst sat a woman dressed in a white robe.

She held a guitar, teaching the children to sing.

The song carried a sense of sanctity, listening to it brought a happiness as if the soul was elevated.

Ji Ning sensed the woman’s overwhelming spiritual power in her voice, feeling surprised inside.

She was a 15th-tier Spiritual Ability User.
