The moment they entered Olbia, everyone saw dozens of people standing on guard by the road. After the pickup truck passed by, the ice cream truck uncle looked at the rear-view mirror. One of them picked up the phone as they saw the fleet of cars leave.
The uncle took a deep breath and roared into the intercom,
We’ve been discovered. Change of route! Activate Plan B!

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Did he not say that he had picked them up on the way? Why did he have a Plan A and a Plan B?
When the people behind them boarded the cars by the road and chased after them, the pickup truck suddenly started to accelerate. A race suddenly started on the highway between uncles and aunties. Lu Shu felt very uncomfortable.
He was an ice cream truck uncle. He should just sell ice cream and occasionally share dirty jokes with the auntie next door selling suckling pigs. How did all this suddenly happen?


He felt that fate was like a wild donkey that had run away. He did not know where it was going…

They’re behind us. I can’t shake them off,
said an auntie through the intercom.

It’s fine. If you can’t shake them off, don’t let them get close!
The uncle took out a pair of sunglasses from the glovebox and put it on. He said energetically,
They are afraid of death as well. We have some experts on board. As long as we can reach our destination, they can’t do anything.

The pickup truck rushed along the highway. They were like heroes you would encounter in your ordinary life.
Lu Shu asked,
Uncle, where are we going?

The uncle said fiercely,
You’ll know when we reach. Now, I feel like we are in the movie 300!

Lu Shu was silent. He was right. I feel like I am in Sparta now…
If someone said that to Lu Shu under normal circumstances, Lu Shu would definitely be upset. He preferred his fate to be in his own hands.
This group of uncles and aunties knew that they wanted to see St Paul’s Cathedral in Olbia. That was their original destination. But now, Lu Shu suddenly laughed and stopped asking. He realized that now, he was not fighting alone. There were countless people who were more than willing to help him.
Every time he felt that the world was detestable and cold, a group of kind-hearted people would definitely appear.


Coral leaned on Lu Shu weakly. She did not care where they went. Her body grew weaker and weaker. It seemed as if she could no longer sense the wind blowing in from outside.
She suddenly said,
Lu Shu, I had a dream last night.

Her voice was so soft, it was as if the entire world had become softer. Lu Shu could only hear her voice.
Lu Shu asked calmly,
What did you dream about?


I dreamed about a house. The door was closed. When I turned around, I saw a sofa that took up half of the living room. The lightning was very warm. There was even a small bar counter. There was the sound of a casserole cooking from the kitchen. The smell of the soup wafted throughout the house.


Night was about to fall. It was as if lanterns had been put up in the city. Suddenly, the door opened. You stood in the cold, smiled and said, ‘I’m home.’ I walked over to hug you. It was as if I was hugging the entire world.


I was a bit scared. The sound of Gungnir cracking sounded as if it had come from within an abyss. But I was not afraid of them. But along with the cracking sound, I also…

Coral spoke to this point before falling into a deep sleep. Her breath was long, but weak.
Lu Shu slowly clenched his fist. It sounded as if she was saying goodbye…
At the same time, Cao Qingci, Chen Zuan and the rest had just reached Olbia. They silently looked at the residents rushing about. It seemed as if something big was about to happen.


The residents walked along the streets. They seemed as if they were about to hold a carnival and turn the entire world into a busy street.

What are they doing?
Chen Zuan was dumbfounded.
Did we land at the wrong place? Do I have to go up again?

Flop!
After more than ten seconds, Chen Zuan stood up again. He was drenched. He chased Cao Qingci and roared,
I was joking! Do you know what a joke is?

Cao Qingci paid no attention to him. She stared at a person in the crowd and said,
Follow him. Maybe we can find an answer. Don’t fall behind.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Chen Zuan bring Cheng Qiuqiao and Han You to approach that person. That person did not react. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao attacked from the front and back, causing the person to faint.
Chen Zuan took advantage of the chaos to dump the person into the rubbish bin. He delightedly raised the white earphones in his hand.
Now, we can figure out what on earth they are doing.

Cao Qingci was silent.
Do you understand what they are saying?

Chen Zuan put on the earphones. He could only hear German. He laughed out loud.
How awkward!

Cao Qingci decided to walk into the crowd.
Follow these residents. We will eventually find out what they are doing. Follow me.



Coral had fallen asleep. Her eyelids occasionally quivered. Lu Shu looked out of the window. The white clouds were moving backwards.
After 30 minutes, Lu Shu suddenly heard the sounds of bass and guitar, as well as drumming sounds in the distance. A noisy crowd had gathered.
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. So this group of uncles and aunties had brought them to… the music festival.
Someone from the cars behind picked up the phone and dialed them.
We are now in northern Olbia. We have not lost sight of the target.

It was as if the Practitioners in northern Sardinia were drawing closer to Olbia. They were like sharks in the ocean, who could smell the scent of blood from dozens of kilometers away. Their teeth were very sharp.
It was like a celebration for beasts. They would walk up to the sacrificial offerings indispensable for the celebration, kill and gobble it up.
At that moment, one of the cars that was following Lu Shu saw the pickup truck drive into the crowd at the music festival. They almost thought that this fleet of vehicles was crazy. They carelessly crashed into civilians. Did they want to die?
But the crowd, who seemed to have been listening to the music, parted and opened up a road for the pickup truck to drive through. Then, they returned to their original positions, blocking the cars following behind with a human wall.
It was as if this had been rehearsed. It was as if the people who had been following Lu Shu and Coral were watching an incredible stage play!
What amazing chemistry among such a massive crowd!



What are they doing?
One of the people who were following Lu Shu and Coral roared in anger. This made him very uncertain. It was as if they were about to lose sight of their target.
