Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"You...you let go! You let go!"

"What are you doing?!"

"open!"

Seeing Asiya hug her, Liu Xuan's face turned icy cold.

Who the hell wants to be your friend?

When rivals meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.

"I won't let go... I won't let go..."

"If you can see me... then you'll be my mother, Anlan will be my father, and I'll play the daughter..."

The innocent voice rang out, and Liu Xuan was suddenly stunned!

"What?!"

"Me, a mother?"

"Anlan is a father? You...you guys, what are you doing?"

"Playing house..."

An Lan shrugged: "As you can see... this girl is special; not many people can see her! I can see her, so she asked me to play house with her..."

"I'll be the dad, she'll be the mom, and the teddy bear will be the child..."

"no..."

"Are you all so childish?"

Liu Xuan was still somewhat doubtful and surprised. An Lan thought about it for a while, but in the end, she decided not to tell Liu Xuan the secret of "[The Forgotten Ones]".

Asiya told herself everything she could do and everything she could know.

Given her special status, it's best not to let the higher-ups know; she should be arrested and investigated.

"She was probably a participant in some overseas instance, but she's experiencing some mental health issues..."

"Just consider it her ability—it's something that goes unnoticed!"

"I just found out too..."

"this--"

"If you still don't believe me, let Yan Ying and the others come and see for themselves. I reckon they won't be able to see Asiya..."

After An Lan's repeated persuasion, Liu Xuan finally nodded, her expression softening.

become!

As long as they're not here to steal a man, anything goes!

About half an hour after the call was made, the sound of people rushing up the stairs could be heard in the hallway.

"What the hell?"

"The captain is having a secret meeting with the vice-captain, and he wants us to come and cheer him on?"

"What do you mean by 'secret meeting'? Isn't that supposed to be a deep exchange?"

"..."

After a series of crude conversations, there was a loud knocking on An Lan's door. An Lan, looking exasperated, went to the door and opened Asiya's door: "Hey! Stop knocking!"

"Over here!"

"Damn! Vice Captain, I remember your family lived around here, didn't they? What? Did you move?"

After muttering something to himself, Chu Chang'an immediately turned around and went straight into Asiya's room.

Yan Ying and Ning Xu looked at the two rooms for a while before quickly entering.

"Tap tap tap—"

In that instant.

Asya's usually quiet living room suddenly became lively.

"Captain! What's wrong with you?"

"Oh my! The captain's wearing a floral dress..."

"What? Are we part of your scheme too?"

"..."

They were all old acquaintances, and the team members joked around without any restraint.

In the past, Liu Xuan would have retorted with a barrage of insults upon hearing this. But now... she stared intently at Asiya, who stood in the corner of the living room...

One, two, three!

The three team members walked past her as if they hadn't seen her at all, and each of them plopped down on the sofa.

"Um?"

"You really can't see it?"

"But...why is that?"

Liu Xuan was stunned.

Why can she see it, and An Lan can see it, but the others can't?

"What do you mean, 'can't see'? Captain, what are you talking about?"

Yan Ying looked at Liu Xuan's strange expression and couldn't help but ask a question.

"There's someone else in this house, can't you see?"

"Huh? There's still someone there?"

"Captain, when did you start telling ghost stories?"

"Damn! There's someone else in this house? Where? I can't see them!"

"..."

The team members looked at Liu Xuan with strange expressions. Liu Xuan opened her mouth, but now she really didn't know how to explain.

An Lan crossed her arms and suddenly muttered, "What did you do before you came into this room?"

"this..."

"Used his talent..."

"I used my talent to glimpse your past... and then, in your past, I saw the presence of Asia..."

"etc!"

"You activated [Memory Recall], traveled through time, and saw Asia..."

"And I..."

(I've also used the perfect timeline before, but this time I only saw Asia because I actively sought her out...)

(Could it be that Asia's presence is low, but she cannot escape the discerning power of time?)

As An Lan pondered this, she suddenly looked at Yan Ying: "Yan Ying, try activating [Freeze Time]! See if you can see the other being in this room!"

"Feed, feed..."

"You two aren't, are you?"

"You called us here just to tell this boring ghost story?"

Yan Ying pursed her lips, wondering if the captain and vice-captain were just looking for trouble today.

Can...

As Liu Xuan and An Lan looked at her intently, she paused for a moment, then said, "Alright! Alright! Then I'll take a look—[Time Freeze]!!!"

"Buzzing—"

After the frost covered the surroundings, the icy air froze time.

Yan Ying's previously indifferent gaze suddenly caught sight of—an Asian-looking, blonde, blue-eyed Western woman in a cheongsam standing in the corner?!

"Holy crap!!!"

"Buzz—"

[Time Freeze] is over!

But now...

Yan Ying can already see Asiya!

Her face paled in utter astonishment: "No way? There really is a ghost in this house?"

"Not a ghost..."

"Just a foreign [dungeon participant]..."

"Looks like I was right, I need a [time-related] talent to see her..."

"Yan Ying, this is Asiya!"

"Asia, this is Yan Ying! She can see you now..."

"Hehehe..."

"Friends! More friends...good friends!"

[Ding! Goddess Asia's favorability towards you has increased by 7!]

[Current total favorability: 64 points]

An Lan paused, startled by the system notification sound again.

Perhaps, Asia is actually very lonely, and she needs to see her friends.

"Hey..."

"If you have time, try to chat with her..."

"Asia, she's actually quite pitiful..."

An Lan waved to Liu Xuan and Yan Ying, and after hesitating, the two women walked towards Asiya.

"Hello?"

"Hello...?"

What was expected to be a difficult encounter turned into a surprise when Asiya grabbed Liu Xuan and Yan Ying by the arms, saying, "Friends! Friends! You play the mother, you play the mistress..."

Asia pointed at Yan Ying, then at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was stunned!

"Huh? Why should I?"

"Weren't I the mother just now?"

"Why am I suddenly being forced to play the role of the other woman?"

"Because...you look rather flirtatious..."

"..."

Liu Xuan fell silent.

"Hahaha—hahaha—"

Yan Ying was delighted.

On the sofa, Chu Chang'an and Ning Xu were still looking around in bewilderment.

"Hey! Seriously? What kind of pantomime are you three putting on?"

"Damn it, you went crazy and didn't take us with you?"

"This is boring... I'm going back..."

The two of them still couldn't see Asiya.

An Lan was utterly helpless and shook her head: "Then let's go... I'll see you downstairs first! The two of them... probably won't be able to leave tonight..."

"Oh? We can't leave?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chang'an's eyes narrowed noticeably into slits behind his glasses.

"Wow—"

"Vice-Captain, be careful..."

"you!"

Not wanting to explain further, An Lan shook her head and escorted Chu Chang'an and Ning Xu downstairs.

After seeing the two off, An Lan didn't go back to Asiya's place.

Now, with Liu Xuan and Yan Ying by Asiya's side, that should be enough.

Back in his little house, An Lan looked at the walls and thought—what if he bought the room next door and made the whole floor his? Maybe that wouldn't be bad?

With that thought in mind, An Lan went into the bedroom and took out her phone.

Actually, if Liu Xuan hadn't come over and disrupted him, he would have done something already!

Tell Long Ao about your discovery.

Based on current information, the last remaining "Hunger Squad" and "War Squad" of the "Energy Absorption Society" are hidden among the high-ranking members of the Indian and Japanese "National Team"!

if...

If we can indiscriminately suppress the national teams of these two countries... then the last high-ranking members of the [Energy Extraction Association] will be completely suppressed!

It could no longer make any big waves!

"Beep beep beep—"

"Beep beep beep—"

After pressing Long Ao's number, the other end seemed to know what was going on and answered almost instantly.

"Yo—"

"Isn't this our succubus?"

"Why didn't you go and get some rest? Why did you call me on your own initiative?"

Long Ao's flippant tone made An Lan frown: "Tsk... Stop pretending! Didn't you know about [Reversing Cause and Effect]?"

"Hahaha--"

"As expected of you! You're so utterly boring!"

"You're right! [Reversing Cause and Effect] just told me that regarding [Energy Absorption Association]... there's actually new progress on your end, which will significantly accelerate my investigation..."

"you?"

"What happened?"

"Or did they discover something?"

A sharp voice rang out, and An Lan pursed her lips: "I've already resolved things on my end... so please don't get involved! As a reward for this, I can tell you—the remaining high-ranking members of the [Energy Absorption Association] are in Japan and India [national teams]..."

"Huh?"

"Looks like you've run into something..."

"However, since you asked me not to interfere, I'll naturally give you that courtesy..."

"The top brass of the island nation, India?"

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"Looks like we'll have to play our cards right this time!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple! You know about dungeon-bound cards, right?"

"You mean...you're not going to directly bind everyone in those [national teams], are you?!"

"That's right! The next upcoming Dragon Kingdom [S-rank dungeon] will be a battle between the Dragon Kingdom's [National Team]—you, me, Zhao Kuo, Jiang Lai, and Wen Lan—and the entire [National Team] of the Indian Kingdom!"

"On the surface, this is a battle between the Chinese nation and India..."

"But in reality, we must wipe them out! Completely take down the [Hunger Squad]!!!"

"this..."

"The fully-fledged Dragon Kingdom - the [National Team]?"

"..."

An Lan raised her eyelids slightly.

He really couldn't have imagined how powerful the three of them—Long Ao, Jiang Lai, and Zhao Kuo—would be together.

"In short..."

"There will be no action in the near future..."

"You should get some rest first! [Reversing Cause and Effect], tell me, the next instance seems to be related to a temple... Perhaps you can take some time to look at information like temple scriptures..."

"Beep beep beep—beep beep beep—"

After the call was disconnected, An Lan put down her phone and stared blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

[Energy Acquisition Club]...

It seems we're finally finding the source.

What about the [duplicate] version?

Can I reach the source of the [Instance] on my own?

In a daze, Anlan drifted off to sleep.

"Buzzing—"

What he didn't notice was that after he fell asleep this time, his body was surrounded by flashing pink halos, and figures appeared around him.

Yang Zhenzhen, Yunhan, Sandy, Lin Yao, Chu Ningrou...

Those women who said they were going on a trip have finally returned...
