Chapter 325 Not True Not False
"The corpses of those bugs are downstairs!"

Ah Hao turned back and opened the door, trying to show Ilya a look at the situation downstairs.

A strange feeling rose in him as he walked through Shirley's door.

Ah Hao frowned, and stepped down the stairs step by step.Howard and Elijah also quickly followed behind him.

Walking down the corner of the stairs, Ah Hao was shocked by what he saw.

At the bottom of the smooth and slightly old stone stairs is a clean entrance.

No charred floors, no charred worm corpses with embers.Through the frosted glass door, Ah Hao could still see the scattered people passing by outside.

Illya said with great certainty: "This place is exactly the same as when I came here just now, and I didn't find anything abnormal."

Howard said in amazement beside her: "Those scenes just now really disappeared! Could it be that we were really under the illusion?"

Ah Hao immediately checked his space props.

He turned his head to look at the two, his face inexplicably heavy: "It's not an illusion, the props I used just now really disappeared. If it was just an illusion, where did my things go?"

Howard took out his staff to check it, and then he nodded to Ahao: "That's true, the power in [Fallen Morning Star] has also been consumed a lot. Could it be that we just stepped into a different space ?”

Illya sighed: "It doesn't matter if it's an illusion, or a different space. In short, we've failed this time. If you didn't come to rescue me, I don't know how long I would have been fooling around in the maze."

"What is certain now is that Shirley should also be abducted by the person who attacked us. The most urgent task now is to find out Shirley's whereabouts."

Illya hugged Howard beside her, and sighed deeply: "Father, take us to find an arcanist of the divination department. Now that the clue is broken, we have to rely on the power of divination."

Howard pampered his head: "Ahao and I just found your information from Anand in the Divination House of the Sand. Let's trouble him now."

"Okay." Illya wrapped her hands around Howard's shoulders, turned her head and winked playfully at Ahao.

"I suppose he doesn't mind if we go again?"

Ah Hao looked at Ilya tenderly: "If he minds, find another one, anyway, I will definitely help you find Shirley."

Howard didn't seem to notice the emotion conveyed by the eyes between the two, he just nodded solemnly: "I was entrusted by Shirley's parents just now, asking me to take care of Shirley. She was abducted by the traitor as soon as she turned her head.

"It's too embarrassing to say this kind of thing. Don't worry, Illya, Dad will help to the end."

"Okay, I'm going to open the way, you are ready to enter the tunnel."

The three of Ahao poked their heads out of the sand like groundhogs.

Then they found that Anand's Sand Cave was empty.

Howard turned his head around: "Hey, where are people?"

Ah Hao glanced at Ilya: "At this point, it seems, maybe, he's already off work?"

Illya showed a trace of sadness: "It's really too late now, and it's not that easy to find other prophecy-type Arcane Masters."

"It's better. My dad and I should report this matter to the Arcane Association. After all, Shirley is also a registered member of the Arcane Association. In addition to such vicious incidents in the city, the special operations team will definitely not sit idly by. of.

"With the power of the association, it will be easier for us to find people."

Howard said with satisfaction: "My daughter's idea is indeed good. It is indeed the best to use the power of the government for this kind of thing."

Ah Hao nodded: "Then let's go to the Arcane Association again."

"No need." Yi Liya shook her head at Ahao: "Report this matter, we will do it. Ahao, go back and rest first, if you have a clue tomorrow, you can follow up. In this way we can Keep up the efficient tracing."

After thinking for a while, Ahao agreed with Ilya's arrangement: "I also have some people I know who can ask for help. Separate operations can indeed increase efficiency."

Yi Liya said with a slight smile: "That's it, remember to keep in touch. Huh?"

Just as Ilya was about to take out her 【Sound Box】, she noticed something strange.

Her hand only took out a handful of sand from her satchel.Sand was sliding down between her fingers, onto the floor at the bottom of the cave.

Ah Hao suddenly said: "No wonder you didn't respond when I called you before."

Ilya looked blankly at the sand in her hand: "But it was fine before. When did it become like this?"

"It should be when you were unconscious, or fell into an illusion." Howard narrowed his eyes, "But the caster just destroyed your communication tool and used illusion to control you. Such a lot of trouble did not cause any harm to your safety." more damage"

"I really don't know whether it's better to say that he is witty or kind."

Ilya shook off the sand in her hand: "No matter what, he abducted Shirley. I must track this matter to the end."

"That's natural."

Ahao continued to Ilya: "I'll meet you at your house at noon tomorrow. I'll go to Wende's side to ask for a new pair of sandboxes."

"Then please."

Yi Liya smiled at Ahao, and the three of them split up.

The next morning.

Ahao sat in the living room early in the morning, directing the maid Bev to make two cups of coffee.

One with nothing added, the other with a generous amount of milk.

He sat at the small dining table and waited quietly.

After a while, the shadow under the stairs twisted abnormally.

After the shadow twisted for a while, it spat out a person.

——[Shadow] Xia Duo.

Xia Duo looked at Ahao and the coffee on the table in surprise: "Why are you so enthusiastic today? I remember that I begged you to do something this time, right?"

"Open the door? It's just a trivial matter." Ahao smiled heartily at Xia Duo, "But I do have something to ask you."

Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, sat across from Ah Hao, and took a big sip of coffee: "Tell me, what is worth making coffee for Mr. [Sage] himself?"

Ahao pushed a note with the address on it to Xia Duo: "A female Arcane mage named Shirley who lives here has disappeared. Someone else should have been to this room before she disappeared. I want to let You helped find her whereabouts and who abducted her."

"Oh, is it a disappearance case?" Xia Duo took the note with great interest.

"It's not a simple disappearance case. I suspect that this matter is related to the Stargate Attack Organization." Ahao looked at Xia Duo with burning eyes.

"I smelled a familiar smell at the scene. That smell is exactly the same as the mutant creature that attacked the star gate. And Shirley is also inextricably linked with the attack on the star gate."

Xia Duo's eyes immediately became serious: "Did you find anything?"

Ah Hao briefly recounted yesterday's experience, and at the same time explained Shirley's illness by the way.

Xia Duo subconsciously folded his hands together: "This is a big problem."

"From your description, you should have encountered the prophet of doom, Arthur."

Ah Hao stared at Xia Duo, not wanting to let go of every detail on his face: "Do you know him?"

"It's more than acquaintance. To be precise, I used to be his subordinate."
