The staff member checked the computer and looked up apologetically: "Sorry, all the tickets to District 1 have been sold out."
Without hesitation, Qiao Sang said: "Then today, any flight, I don’t care which one."
The staff member maintained the apologetic tone: "Sorry, all the tickets to District 1 for today are already sold out."
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment: "Then give me a ticket to any of the Upper Ten Districts, I don’t care which district."
"Alright, please hold on." The staff member lowered her head and operated the computer.
Half a minute later, she looked up at Qiao Sang with a somewhat complicated expression:
"All the tickets to the Upper Ten Districts are gone."
Qiao Sang: "..."
"How about the Middle Ten Districts then?" Qiao Sang asked stubbornly, unwilling to give up.
After a pause, she added: "Or anywhere in the Lower Ten Districts."
The staff member checked again but still returned with the same answer:
"None available."
"How can there not be a single ticket left?" Qiao Sang found it hard to believe.
The staff member seemed to be encountering this situation for the first time and inadvertently spoke more: "Today’s situation is indeed a bit unusual. Just earlier, when I was booking a ticket to the Eighteenth District for another passenger, there were plenty of seats available..."
Toward the end of her sentence, she realized her mistake, lowered her voice, and put on a professional smile:
"Perhaps there’s some delay in the system. Should I check tomorrow’s tickets for you?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: "Alright, give me the earliest flight to District 1 tomorrow."
This time, the ticket was quickly processed. freeweɓnøvel.com
3:30 AM—might as well stay at the airport until then... Qiao Sang took the ticket, glanced at the time printed on it, and walked toward the boarding gate.

The dense forest.
Ogefu tossed aside a phone that had already turned to scrap metal and looked at Billet, grinning:
"Not pretending anymore?"
Billet also smiled: "What, you’re causing trouble for my student, and I’m not allowed to stop you?"
"How is this causing trouble?" Ogefu waved his hand dismissively. "We’re just looking for Adinixi. As long as you hand over Adinixi, we can still work together."
"Why waste so many words on him," Luxiumaer said impatiently. "Just hurry up and contact the outside."
