Firelight illuminated the sky, dyeing it with the colors of twilight.
Ying Fei walked through the ravaged city, the world seemingly frozen in time.
Qiao She Fei, following behind, looked up at the giant fireball in the center of the city, his expression unreadable.
“Is it the power of time? Or is space frozen? Saving this world as a photograph at the moment of its destruction, what an incredible feat!”
Hearing Qiao She Fei's heartfelt exclamation, Ying Fei smiled slightly, a gleam in his eyes, his thoughts unknown.
Soon after, the two walked down a street and approached a building with a sign that read "Guang Zhao Photo Studio," stopping at the entrance.
As they stopped, they heard loud arguments coming from inside the studio.
“Ha, you forgot about such an important thing as crossing worlds, Menya Shi!”
“I told you, I didn't ask, I didn't forget. And that guy, such an important thing should be said immediately, tsk!”
Recognizing the voices of Xia Mi Gan and Wang Xiao Ming, Ying Fei turned to Qiao She Fei and said.
“Let's go, follow them to the next world and see.”
Qiao She Fei nodded and followed Ying Fei, pushing open the door of Guang Zhao Photo Studio.
“Huh, the sound of the door opening, did someone come in?”
As the two walked in, Xia Mi Gan, her face full of doubt, looked out from the living room where the photographs were taken. When she saw Ying Fei, she instantly broke into a delighted smile.
“It's you, sir. You suddenly disappeared just now, I thought...”
Ying Fei could guess what she didn't say, so he shrugged and replied, “Our luck was pretty good. We didn't encounter any monster attacks along the way and arrived safely here.”
Hearing that Ying Fei and his companion were safe, Xia Mi Gan was very happy, “It's great that you're both alright.”
“Hey, hey, hey, Xia Mi Gan, you're too easy to believe others. That guy is full of lies, not a single word is true!”
At this moment, Wang Xiao Ming walked out of the living room, his eyes fixed on Ying Fei, his vigilance high.
Xia Mi Gan was taken aback, as if she didn't understand what Wang Xiao Ming was saying.
“Are you a naive idiot? The outside world is full of monsters, and the explosion affected such a large area. Even a fool could tell that ordinary people wouldn't be able to survive.”
“He said they didn't encounter any danger along the way. How is that even possible?”
After Wang Xiao Ming's analysis and reminder, Xia Mi Gan finally realized something was wrong. She covered her mouth with her hand, pointing at Ying Fei, unable to speak.
“Sir, you, you...”
Seeing her unable to form complete sentences, Ying Fei chose not to tease her further and simply admitted, “Yeah, his analysis is basically correct.”
Ying Fei's admission left Xia Mi Gan in disbelief. She wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat.
At this moment, Wang Xiao Ming became her mouthpiece, saying, “What do you two want to do? If you're looking for shelter, this is not a safe haven.”
But before Ying Fei could speak, the true owner of the photo studio, Guang Rong Jiro, stuck his head out from the living room entrance, revealing a kind smile.
“If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here for now. It's a bit small, but you can squeeze in.”
“Huh, grandpa, how can you?!”
“Yeah, old man, these two are of unknown origin. Who knows if they're not dangerous people.”
Hearing Wang Xiao Ming label him a dangerous individual, Ying Fei twitched his lips.
“Ah, that's the difference in perspective, look at Jiro-san, then look at the two of you, tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Ying Fei was not one to suffer in silence, and he immediately struck back at the two, then led Qiao She Fei into the living room.
Being called petty, Wang Xiao Ming was furious. He was about to argue with Ying Fei, but at that moment, Guang Rong Jiro pulled down the chain of the curtain.
Buzz!
A colorful curtain, like a real painting, fell down, followed by a blinding white light, causing everyone in the living room to instinctively close their eyes.
When everyone regained their senses, they found that the twilight scenery outside the window had turned into daytime, and they could hear the sounds of cars coming and going.
Ying Fei moved his gaze away from the window and looked back at the curtain in the living room, where there was a picture of a police car speeding towards a certain mountain.
“Sir, did we travel to another world?” At this moment, Qiao She Fei leaned closer to Ying Fei and asked softly.
Ying Fei nodded, telling him they had indeed crossed over.
Not long after.
Wang Xiao Ming, who had been staring at the curtain, seemed to understand something and turned around and rushed out.
As he pushed open the door, his black windbreaker suddenly transformed into a police uniform, a walkie-talkie hanging from his shoulder, and a bicycle appeared outside the photo studio entrance.
Looking at the mountain at the end of the road, Wang Xiao Ming murmured, “This is, Kuuga's world?”
“All units on duty, an unknown lifeform has been found in the North Warehouse of Fujimi 2-chome...”
A voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, giving Wang Xiao Ming a fright. When he came to his senses, Ying Fei and Qiao She Fei had appeared outside the door, at some point.
“Kuuga's world, I remember the boss was the Wolf King Gurongi.” Looking at the mountain at the end of the road, Ying Fei recalled some information about the Wolf King Gurongi.
Wolf King, En-Gamio-Jedda, the king of the Gurongi clan, the ultimate darkness.
“Hey, you know about Kuuga's world?”
While Ying Fei was still reminiscing, he was suddenly awakened by Wang Xiao Ming's questioning. After coming to his senses, he nodded in agreement.
As he nodded, Wang Xiao Ming was very puzzled, “Who are you two, do we know each other?”
This wasn't him being narcissistic, he had observed something.
Ying Fei waved to him, walking in a certain direction and said, “I'll tell you later. By the way, my name is Ying Fei.”
With that, he and Qiao She Fei disappeared around the corner.
“Ying Fei?”
Wang Xiao Ming, who had no memory, couldn't figure out if he knew Ying Fei or not.
“Huh, Shi, what are you dressed like? Where are those two gentlemen, how come they disappeared as soon as they came out?”
At this time, Xia Mi Gan came out of the studio. Seeing only Wang Xiao Ming, she asked curiously about Ying Fei's whereabouts.
“Hmph, who cares. Who knows.”
