Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 184 You're not Mr. Gray at all!

"What kind of training manual are you looking at? It's so interesting, and you're laughing while reading it?"

Hearing Erica's giggles, Bai Yuetian couldn't help but ask his question.

"It's just a regular training manual!" Erica said sweetly.

Bai Yuetian blinked, then suddenly reached out and snatched the training manual from Erica's palm with lightning speed.

"Hey!" Erica cried out, "Give it back to me!"

Bai Yuetian turned around, opened the training manual, and stared at it intently. His eyes widened in surprise.

“Erica—” he drawled.

Erica's pretty face flushed, and she pounced to snatch back the "training manual," feigning displeasure as she said, "Who told you to take my things? Don't do that again!"

Bai Yuetian raised an eyebrow: "You're pretty arrogant!"

"You're reading old-world romance novels in the lighthouse? Aren't you afraid I'll report you?" He put on a stern face, looking very serious.

"I can speak with the city lord!"

Erica rolled her eyes cutely and scoffed softly.

Although Erica was interrupted by Penny that day and couldn't repeat the words, their relationship quickly warmed up through their unspoken understanding.

When they weren't training, they simply stayed in their dormitories.

"Go ahead and report me if you dare!"

Erica flipped back to the page she had just read, and without looking up, said, "I'm a gravity pilot, and this is my first offense. At worst, I'll get a few lashes at the barracks, but you can't sneak into my dorm room again!"

Bai Yuetian smiled.

He rested his chin on his hand and said in a serious tone, "So it seems like I'm at a greater disadvantage."

"Good to know, hmph!" Erica's lips curled up.

She tried hard to suppress her laughter, but the more she tried, the less she could hold it in, so she simply stopped and smiled openly at Bai Yuetian.

Bai Yuetian looked at her with a smile.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Penny's voice came from outside the door: "Erica, is Bai Yuetian here?"

Erica and Bai Yuetian looked at each other in bewilderment.

"He's here, what's wrong?" Erica asked, puzzled.

Has something big happened outside? Why is Penny here looking for Bai Yuetian?

Penny immediately said, "Several Dust People came to him and said that 4068 and two other Dust People were taken away by the Law Priest. The Law Priest wants to send them to Dr. Carrie's laboratory and hopes that he can help them."

Was 4068 arrested?
Bai Yuetian paused for a moment, then his expression turned serious.

He asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

Bai Yuetian opened the door.

Penny's gaze fell on Bai Yuetian's name tag.

【Shangmin 1012】

She whispered, "4068, 4079, and 4277 have all been taken away by the priest. I remember you were on good terms with them. If you want to help, you'd better hurry, or it will be too late."

“Dr. Carrie is terrifying,” she added.

Bai Yuetian frowned: "What do you mean?"

Although he had good relationships with many people, his closest relationships with the Dust People, besides 0609, were with these three people who had been arrested by the Law Enforcement Bureau.

4068 and 4079 were his roommates. 4277 was a pretty girl, the kind of girl next door. When he first had a conflict with 4068, 4277 even mistakenly applied medicine to him.

“No one who was brought into Dr. Carrie’s laboratory by the priests ever came out alive,” Penny whispered.

Bai Yuetian took a deep breath: "I understand, thank you."

"They caught it pretty accurately."

"I don't know what Charles did wrong."

He only had three friends among the common people, and the fact that he arrested them all at once was clearly not a coincidence.

Charles sent Vatican City over a few days ago to curry favor with him, and today he deliberately arrested his friend.

Could it be that Charles rebelled because he told Vatican to tell Charles not to send anyone over anymore?
Is this guy crazy?

"I don't know the specifics of your relationship with those three Dust People, so I'm informing you so you don't find out too late. You can decide what to do next."

Penny paused for a moment, then said, "If you're going to get involved, go find Captain Mark. He can talk to Dr. Carrie."

Bai Yuetian nodded slightly.

He said softly, "I think Charles has something wrong with his head. This time, we don't need to look for Mark. I'll go directly to the city lord and have him properly manage Charles and stop him from acting so inexplicably."

Penny opened her mouth, but no words came out.

All the hunters knew that Bai Yuetian had a subtle relationship with the city lord, and they even made up little stories about it.

What Bai Yuetian said would be considered outrageous by others, but coming from Bai Yuetian, it seemed just right—that was exactly how Bai Yuetian should react.

"I wish you success," Penny finally managed to say.

At this moment, Erica walked up to Bai Yuetian.

“I’ll go with you!” she said earnestly. “4068 works very hard. I can put in a good word for him with the city lord and help you save him.”

Bai Yuetian smiled and reached out to ruffle Erica's hair.

Erica cried out, but didn't run away, letting Bai Yuetian's fingers run through her hair.

Penny stared wide-eyed at the sight.

"Lord City Lord, your insight is unparalleled. If you come with me, I'm afraid we'll both end up on the stake tomorrow. You should wait for my message in your dormitory," Bai Yuetian said with a smile.

“Who wants to be burned at the stake with you!” Erica lowered her head shyly.

Bai Yuetian smiled and said, "Stay and wait for me."

"Alright then," Erica said, pursing her lips.

Saving three commoners would be a piece of cake for Yue Tian, ​​given his relationship with the city lord.

After discussing the matter of the common people, Yue Tian might need to talk to the city lord about other things, so it wouldn't be convenient to bring her along. Bai Yue Tian bid farewell to the two of them.

Penny watched Bai Yuetian's figure disappear around the corner, then asked with a gossipy look, "Erica, did you two develop a relationship that led to being burned at the stake so quickly?"

“He’s talking nonsense,” Erica replied, blushing.

On the other side, Bai Yuetian turned out of the Shangmin residential area, and the warmth and smile on his face faded at a visible speed.

His eyes were filled with anger, yet he moved with lightning speed.

Charles!
You have the guts to do that!

Morgan, too, why did he choose such an inexplicable person as the head of the association?
Bai Yuetian quickly arrived at the city lord's office.

“I want to see the city lord,” he said bluntly.

The city guard standing at the door replied, "I'm sorry, the city lord is not here today."

"He took leave?" Bai Yuetian frowned.

The city guards shook their heads: "We don't know the specifics either, but the city lord hasn't come for two days."

Bai Yuetian's brows were furrowed.

If not in the office, is he in the dormitory?
"Bai Yuetian, are you looking for the City Lord?" A pleasant voice came from behind.

Bai Yuetian turned around and saw Jingnan not far away.

Jingnan, carrying a document, seemed to be passing by and was staring at him curiously.

“Commander Jingnan.” Bai Yuetian paused for a moment, “Charles has captured my mortal friend. I want to ask the city lord for help. Do you know where the city lord is right now?”

He stared intently at Jingnan's face.

Others were unaware of Morgan's whereabouts, but Jingnan, as the overall commander of the voyage, certainly knew.

Jingnan hesitated.

"Hasn't Mark contacted you?" she suddenly asked.

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback.

He had seen Mark a few times in the past two days, but Mark hadn't specifically sought him out to speak.

"Why did he come looking for me?" Bai Yuetian asked, puzzled.

Jingnan shook his head: "It's nothing serious, so let's just forget about it since we haven't looked into it."

"The city lord has been ill these past two days and is probably still recuperating in the medical ward. You can go there to find him."

Medical Department?
"Thank you." Bai Yuetian said hurriedly.

Mark seems to have something he hasn't told him, but he's busy right now and will find out after he's dealt with this matter.

Jingnan gazed at Bai Yuetian's retreating figure, a complex expression on his face.

“Lord City Lord, Bai Yuetian wishes to see you,” Victor said slowly.

Morgan's eyebrows twitched.

He opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Let him in."

Victor took a deep breath, turned and left. After a while, he led Bai Yuetian to Morgan's bedside.

Bai Yuetian sat down by himself.

He asked in confusion, "Morgan, I haven't seen you for only two days, how did you end up living here?"

What illness do you have?

Morgan paused for two seconds, then replied, "He has a heart condition. He's being kept alive by old-world miracle drugs, and he probably won't live much longer."

"Heart disease?" Bai Yuetian raised an eyebrow.

"Don't say such discouraging things. I'm very familiar with the ground forces we encountered this time. As long as it's not a heart disease named after you, I can cure it."

Medical technology was highly advanced in the old world.

It's just a slight heart problem; if it really doesn't work, you can get a prosthetic heart and it will still be usable.

Morgan paused for a moment: "You're planning to treat my illness?"

“Yes!” Bai Yuetian said with a matter-of-fact expression. “Given our relationship, of course I have to treat your illness!”

Morgan was silent.

After a long pause, he spoke up: "My illness is difficult to cure. I plan to convene a court meeting tomorrow and announce you as the successor city lord in public. What do you think?"

He stared at Bai Yuetian's face.

"Not very good." Bai Yuetian shook his head without hesitation.

“I don’t remember anything. I can’t be the lord of the lighthouse. You should give up on this idea as soon as possible and choose someone else to inherit your position.”

Bai Yuetian paused for a moment.

"There is no need for the lighthouse to exist anymore."

“I talked to people on the ground and found that there is a very safe place on the ground, just like the old world. I want the people of the lighthouse to return to life on the ground.”

Is there no need for a lighthouse to exist?
Returning to life on the ground?

Upon hearing these two sentences, Morgan's gaze subtly turned cold, and he gave Victor a look.

Victor nodded and stood at the door.

“White Moonlight,” Morgan suddenly spoke.

Bai Yuetian was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time he had heard Morgan's name from his mouth.

“Let’s be frank,” Morgan said slowly. “You’re not Mr. Gray at all; you’re just possessing Mr. Gray’s body.”

Bai Yuetian's body trembled.

"What are you talking about?" He glanced at the doorway without saying a word.

Victor stood there, blocking the door completely, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be faintly heard through the crack in the door.
