Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start
Chapter 122 The Dancing Shadow
After hanging up the phone call from Liu Lin, Lin Chen immediately started buying tickets to Rou Rou's hometown, Ancheng. Lingling, seeing Lin Chen's slightly unpleasant expression, immediately realized what had happened and came over, asking Lin Chen to buy her a ticket as well, because she wanted to go too.
Lin Chen glanced at Lingling, nodded, and did not refuse. With Lingling, this little genius, around, the difficulty of things would indeed be reduced considerably.
On the bullet train to Ancheng, Lin Chen briefly described what had happened to Lingling...
After returning from the Misty Valley and recuperating, the members of the Skyfire Squad stopped being hunters in the wild and instead went to a small to medium-sized city to join the local urban monster-hunting team.
Everything was normal until two weeks ago when Rou Rou called home as usual, only to find that no one answered. At the time, Rou Rou thought her family was too busy and didn't pay much attention to it.
But when Rou Rou called again that night, no one answered, and this continued for several days in a row. Rou Rou immediately prepared to go home to see what had happened.
At the time, the Skyfire Squad didn't pay much attention. Although Rou Rou's hometown was a small mountain village, it was still within the Anjie area, so the chances of encountering demons were not high. It should just be a dispute between ordinary people. With Rou Rou, a mid-level mage, taking action, there shouldn't be any major problems.
But after Rou Rou returned to her hometown, apart from calling Liu Lin on the first day, there was no further news. No matter who from the Skyfire Squad called Rou Rou, her phone was always switched off.
The Skyfire Squad immediately realized something was wrong and sent Wang Min to Rou Rou's hometown to investigate.
However, the result made the Skyfire Squad even more uneasy. Just like Rou Rou's situation, Wang Min only made a phone call to Zhang Tian to say that she had arrived at Rou Rou's hometown, and then there was no news from her for the next few days.
At that time, Zhang Tian and Liu Meng of the Skyfire Squad were very impulsive and wanted to go to Rou Rou's hometown to find out what was going on, but Liu Lin stopped them.
After all, although there are differences in strength among the members of the Skyfire Squad, the difference is not significant. Rou Rou and Wang Min will disappear in Rou Rou's hometown, and Liu Meng and Zhang Tian will go there, and the outcome will probably be similar.
The Skyfire Squad didn't want to trouble Lin Chen, fearing he might also encounter misfortune. But after much thought, among the people the Skyfire Squad knew, the only one with great strength and willing to help them was Lin Chen. Left with no other option, Zhang Tian and the others ultimately chose to ask Lin Chen for help.
……
It was almost 9 p.m. when Lin Chen and Lingling arrived at Ancheng Railway Station, where Liu Lin was already waiting for them outside.
"Master Lingling, I didn't expect you to come too." The moment Liu Lin saw Lingling, she was overjoyed. She had witnessed Master Lingling's abilities before, and with her help, this operation would be much easier to resolve.
"You're all Lin Chen's friends, so it's only right that I come to help when you're in trouble. Besides, I'm practically rusting from staying home all the time," Lingling replied.
Liu Lin nodded, expressed her gratitude to Lingling, and then took Lin Chen and Lingling to the hotel to rest for the night.
The next morning, Lin Chen and the other two got into the car that Liu Lin had rented and headed towards Rou Rou's hometown.
"Sister Lin, why don't Sister Rou Rou's family move out? They're still living in this remote little mountain village." Lingling looked out the car window at the winding road and couldn't help but ask, "Even if this little mountain village is still within Anjie, it's so remote. Life must be so inconvenient. It would be very dangerous if they encountered demons sneaking in."
"I don't know either. Rou Rou didn't tell us. But Rou Rou just felt that life in the small mountain village was too inconvenient, so she worked hard to cultivate and became a mage, thus leaving the small mountain village," Liu Lin replied while driving.
"A magician who came from a small mountain village, that sounds like an inspirational novel," Lin Chen chuckled.
"Little Orange, it's like this, don't let Rou Rou's gentle and weak appearance fool you, she works very hard when she's cultivating. She's actually not much older than you, if she had a better background, her achievements would probably be even greater than they are now," Liu Lin said with emotion.
"In that case, I think you're the same, Sister Lin," Lin Chen said.
"The same as what?" Liu Lin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You also lack a good background. You're not much older than Sister Rou Rou, but you're already at the mid-level of dual-elemental cultivation," Lin Chen said.
But Liu Lin did not respond to him, instead falling into an unusual silence, which made Lin Chen wonder if he had said something wrong.
"arrive!"
As Liu Lin's voice rang out again, Lin Chen and Lingling subconsciously looked out the window and realized that they had reached the end of the road, and another car was parked not far from their vehicle.
After getting out of the car, Lin Chen and the other two went to the car not far away and carefully examined it. They found that the entire car body was covered with a thin layer of dust.
"This car must be the one Brother Wang drove. It looks like it hasn't been moved for many days. Brother Wang must have gone in and hasn't come out since," Lin Chen said.
"Let's go in too and see what's going on in the whole village," Lingling said, taking the lead on the dirt road beside her, with Lin Chen and Liu Lin following closely behind.
After walking for seven or eight minutes on the dirt road, Lin Chen and his two companions finally saw the outline of their destination.
Standing on a high vantage point, Lin Chen couldn't help but look into the village, but he couldn't see any smoke rising from the chimneys. It was eerily quiet, looking like a ghost village.
"Something's not right about this village..." Lin Chen told Liu Lin and Lingling what he had just seen.
"It's normal that something's not right. If it were right, how could someone disappear?" Lingling said.
After walking for a few more minutes, a village nestled among the green mountains came into view. Beside the entrance to the village stood an ancient stone tablet with two large characters engraved on it: "Mingguang".
"That's right, this is Rou Rou's hometown—Mingguang Village." Liu Lin glanced at the stone tablet at the village entrance and said with certainty.
"Let's go in and take a look first, and then decide on the follow-up matters based on the situation." Lingling looked around the village entrance but did not find anything unusual.
Lin Chen nodded, drew three moon-white star trails, summoned three Digimon, and then walked into the village first.
Upon entering the village, even with the sun high in the sky, Lin Chen felt as if he had fallen into an icebox. The temperature was significantly lower than outside. Lingling shivered and ran straight to Garurumon, burying herself in its fur to warm up.
However, Lin Chen and his group did not linger at the village entrance because of the cold, but continued to walk into the village.
Under the sunlight, the shadows of Lin Chen and his two companions and three beasts suddenly flickered eerily...
