"I think Canbai is really missing!" A thin man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face interrupted and said, "I just heard from the underworld that someone specially spent a lot of money to hire several groups of people to openly explore the location of the cemetery on a large scale. Until the people from the Hero Association came out to stop it, the scene was chaotic and there was no news of Canbai's appearance. You know, Canbai almost always appears in incidents related to the cemetery. Now he doesn't show up, which is very telling."
Next to him, a very ordinary-looking man also spoke.
"I have received accurate information. Almost all the Hero Association headquarters and branches have sent people here. Probably tomorrow, those heroes will appear in front of the Hero Association branch building here one after another."
The sturdy Aunt Quan listened to the reports of the three people and fell silent. She narrowed her eyes and thought for a long time before she spoke: "Forget it, don't act rashly. We are not wanted criminals on the run. Our identities are still valuable. There is no need to act for uncertain news. There is no need to rush. We will have a chance only when those Hero Associations and the Great Sinners take action. Go back and ask for news at any time. Wait for my notification."
The other three nodded and prepared to leave, but at this moment, a sudden voice pulled their hearts into the cold deep sea.
"Hey, is this all the information you guys have found?"
Next to them, Dawn, who was leaning against the wall, removed his visual disguise and appeared in front of the four people wearing a mask.
Liming frowned and looked at the four people, a little confused.
Judging from the amount of information these people provided, they were all just minions. However, there was one thing that Dawn did not expect, which was that they did not mention any news about the fake Dark King.
Logically speaking, the news about the Dark King should spread faster than the news about the cemetery of the Lord of the Abyss. But up to now, no matter what Dawn eavesdropped on from other people or from the conversations between these people, there was no news about the Dark King's appearance.
This made Liming unsure of the impostor's purpose.
Before announcing his departure, Dawn took away some of the power that permeated the dark City of Dawn. The battle between light and shadow in that sky was believed by countless people to be a protracted fight between the Goddess of Light and the King of Darkness. Both sides were deadlocked in trying to defeat each other, and their power would only grow stronger and not diminish.
If we weaken the power of that place now, others will surely think that the natural enemies of light and shadow - the power of the Goddess of Light and the King of Darkness - are fading, and perhaps both will suffer losses and have to withdraw from the stage of this world together. Their era is coming to an end.
This is why Liming believed that he only needed a piece of paper to make others believe that he was about to leave. In fact, even if he didn't say it, the fact that the power of the sky was fading would definitely make others think of the possibility of the power of the two vertices weakening.
The news of his departure was confirmed by others because of this incident. So, if they really believed that he had left, what could others gain by pretending to be the Dark King?
The identity of a supreme being.
As long as the costume looks real, almost no one would dare to question it. Even if they know there is a 90% chance it is fake, few would dare to take that 10% chance.
However, this identity will increase the risk of being exposed over time as the power of the Dark Dawn City fades and the news of the Goddess of Light's departure continues to ferment.
Therefore, Li Ming initially guessed that the other party would most likely use his identity to lock down the entire city of the cemetery in a short period of time, but now there is no news at all.
Bailiana told him that someone had seen the Dark King, but only the top leaders of the Hero Association knew about this?

85. Strong Foursome
"who!?"
Just when Liming was puzzled, the four people who had scattered quickly stood together again, and they were all wary of the appearance of Liming.
As if she had seen through Liming's contemplation, Aunt Quan immediately concluded that Liming was eavesdropping on the information they had gathered and was not going to attack them. Liming's hiding method was too sophisticated and he was very likely a level stronger than them, which made her plan to avoid the fight.
"Brother, you have heard our message, and we don't want to act rashly. We have suffered the loss of silence. How about we just say goodbye?"
Liming looked at the old lady and his brows gradually furrowed. He didn't listen to what she said, but he felt that this person had a rare power of the dead.
But that’s okay, not everyone with the power of ghosts is an evil being, and Dawn just heard that they are not fugitive criminals.
"Let me ask you a question first. Have you heard any news about the Dark King?"
"The Dark King?"
Aunt Quan and the other three looked at each other, then shook their heads with a sullen face. It was already a loss for them that the information they had obtained from the investigation was overheard, and now they were being questioned again. If they didn't have any temper, they would have no face left at all.
Aunt Quan responded to Liming with a sullen face, just to tell Liming that they would make concessions to a certain extent, but they were not so easy to bully. If he dared to ask again, they would have to hmm!
"Apart from the news this morning that the Goddess of Light took the Dark King away, is there really no other news?" Liming was thinking for himself, ignoring the deliberately intimidating changes in the expressions of Quan Aunt and the others, and asked again with emphasis.
That's how it was. The other four, Aunt Quan, crossed their legs and were ready to fight at any time. Then Aunt Quan shouted angrily, "Don't think we're afraid of you and will let you ask questions all the time. If you know what's good for you, retreat now to avoid a fight! Otherwise, we won't be polite!"
"It seems that it is really gone..."
Liming shook his head helplessly, then stood in front of the four people and looked at them quietly.
The four Quan Aunts also made frightening gestures and glared at Liming.
"..." Time passed slowly in silence. The lively sounds outside the alley unexpectedly made people feel a little familiar, making the four people present want to blend into the vast crowd immediately.
"what?"
After a while, Li Ming looked at the four people in front of him with some surprise, rubbed his chin, and said, "Aren't you going to take action?"
When Aunt Quan and the other three heard Liming's words, they glared at him with their eyes wide open and showed off their strong muscles to let Liming know that they were not to be fooled!
They didn't say a word, just flexed their muscles and looked ferocious!
“……” There was silence for a while.
"Forget it." Liming suddenly shook his head helplessly. His words and the expression he showed made Quan Aunt and the other three happy. Then their mood was brought to the bottom by Liming's next words.
"Well, I'll do it myself. Although you are not criminals, you have criminal tendencies. I have to beat you up so that you will remember this lesson."
Liming said as he walked over to the four men.
"You...you don't come over here! If you come over again, we will not be polite!" Aunt Quan's rough and low voice revealed a domineering tone, as if if Liming dared to take another step forward, they would attack directly.
Then Dawn walked over, and then they just... took a step back.
Dawn took a few more steps forward, and they then took a few steps back, but this was only temporary!
"Ah hoo!"
Aunt Quan looked at the approaching Dawn and roared angrily. She stomped her feet hard, clenched her hands, and her muscles exploded. She looked as ferocious as a tiger descending from a mountain, and her momentum was as surging as a dragon over the sea.
The other three also showed off their special abilities, such as the Evil Wolf Palm, the Wudong Fist, and even the Feihe High Kick.
The four of them launched an attack, and the momentum was instantly apparent. Then, Liming took a few more steps forward, and only a gust of wind was left where the four of them were. From afar, there were four quickly disappearing figures in the alley.
"What the hell, what's wrong with that guy!?"
"Who knows? It looks like we can't defeat him."
"Hey, it seems like he didn't catch up. Could he be bluffing us?"
"No matter if he's just bluffing or not, he's already run away, I'm not going back to commit suicide."
"Too……"
Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded from the front.
"Hey, people like you should just behave yourself."
"What? Who dares to do this... to... us... F*ck."
(Second update today)
86. When people are quiet, they don’t know where to go
Suddenly, Dawn appeared in front of them and slowly reached out his hand to them. His movements were slow and full of flaws, but it was precisely because of this that he seemed invulnerable.
"Wait... wait, great hero, please spare my life..."
"Ah..."
After a while, Liming clapped his hands and walked out of the alley. Looking at the brightly lit streets, he shook his head helplessly, then took a few steps forward and joined the crowd.
Because the news of the appearance of the fake Dark King might only be known by the high-level people of the Hero Association like Bai Lianna, which made Liming a little confused about the purpose of the fake Dark King.
Was he just trying to scare that silly girl Luo Yuan? Or was he just asking the Hero Association to send more people to guard against it, so that other places would have less manpower, and then finally make a feint to the east and attack in the west to cause trouble in other cities?
The most urgent task is to find the girl Luoyuan first. Otherwise, if she runs away, it will be only me and Normanson who can defend the city.
Damn it, bastard, who dares to pretend to be me!? Are you trying to kill yourself? You are just causing me trouble. If I catch you, it won’t be as simple as a beating!
In a villa that was cut open by a sword, Wymanno Bosen suddenly sneezed, then he shrugged his nose and continued to drink and watch the moon leisurely. When he was in high spirits, he said to himself with a smile, "Hmph, I wonder how people will react when I, the great demon Dark King, suddenly appear in front of them? It's really exciting."
……
Now, Dawn also hid himself, looking for Canbai's traces everywhere, and prepared to go to the Hero Association to find out more information tomorrow, after heroes from other places arrived in this city.
At the same time, in the alley he left, the four injured men limped away after wailing among themselves.
There was only one person who went deeper into the alley, and that was Aunt Quan.
Her rugged face was gloomy, and the fierceness she had just shown had been completely defeated by Liming's teaching. She wondered if she was really too weak, and that someone who suddenly appeared could teach her a lesson. She was not cruel enough, and was not a criminal, but she coveted the inheritance of the Lord of the Abyss, and it seemed that there was no possibility of getting what she wanted.
Just forget it?
Aunt Quan walked into the alley with a bitter look on her face. She was thinking about what had just happened, but she didn't realize where she was going.
The further you go, the quieter and darker the alley becomes.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the alley, the panting sounds were clearly audible, and even the steady heartbeats occasionally broke into this deep alley and echoed in the air along with the footsteps.
At this moment, you can really hear a pin drop.
Silence, like death!
Next to her, in the pitch-black side next to a pile of groceries as she passed by, was there someone hiding there waiting for her arrival?
There was a dark cross corner not far ahead. I turned in one direction and didn’t see anything, but what about the other directions?
For example, is there something following her from behind? Or is it right beside her, but...she can't see it???
The strange thing is that Aunt Quan doesn’t live here and doesn’t need to pass by here. She hasn’t even thought about going into such a deep alley, nor has she thought about why she ended up here.
She didn't even know that she had come to this place where she couldn't see the dark road ahead and didn't know if there was anything following her.
Suddenly, she fell down without any warning. In this deep alley where wind had difficulty entering, something blew her clothes on the ground.
After a while, a small thing emitting a faint white glow emerged from Aunt Quan's body. It was a translucent cute girl doll that was less than the size of a palm.
It laughed softly, its voice ethereal and pleasant. It took small steps, climbed down from Aunt Quan's body, and walked deeper into the alley.
Soon, it came to a place where there was a cute girl about eleven or twelve years old wearing a black Lolita dress. She was sitting on a wooden box, and next to her stood an adult woman wearing a maid outfit, with a calm expression and a figure like the waves of the sea.
And there was actually more than one pale white, translucent female doll like the one that emerged from Aunt Quan's body. There were many such dolls walking towards the girl from alleys in other directions, then jumping onto the wooden boxes, touching the girl's outstretched fingers, and finally melting into the girl's fingers.
After the doll that came out of Aunt Quan's body melted into the girl's fingers, the girl suddenly let out a soft "eh".

87. This pit is a bit deep
"What's wrong?" The maid next to her couldn't help but ask when she saw the little girl's sudden reaction.
The little girl was silent for a while, and a smile of finding a fun toy slowly appeared on her cute little face.
"I...seem to have found an incredible guy."
When the maid saw the little girl's smile, a hint of curiosity appeared in her calm eyes, and she asked, "Who is it?"
The little girl thought for a while in silence, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. I can't tell what kind of person it is by feeling. But when my Bai Ling sensed that person, she was so scared that she closed herself off. In the end, she was able to come back only after she extracted a part of the spirit of the person who was possessed."
"Fear!?"
"Correct."
"Is it a big ghost? Why don't you attract it here?"
"No, it's not a ghost, it's a person."
"One person? How could one person scare your Bai Ling so much that he would shut himself off?"
"I'm not sure. Bai Ling's feedback is too vague. Let's go and find that person. Maybe we can find something interesting."
"Yes."
…………
At dawn, when the people and beings in the alleys began to move, let the time go back to more than ten minutes ago. Under the branch building of the Hero Association in Shiguang City, the young man who pretended to be a guard to inquire about the news had just left, and the guards who stayed behind were still chatting.
"Hey, tell me, who is this person who comes here to get information?"
"Well, I don't know, probably the eleventh or twelfth."
"Hiss, it's strange. The higher-ups asked us to reveal the news that Lord Canbai has disappeared, which cannot be known to outsiders. We also have to state that it is uncertain whether the news is true or false. The purpose of this matter..."
"Shh, don't worry about your life, don't talk nonsense, what if someone nearby hears it by some means?"
"Oh, that's right..."
"..."
"Ah, so boring. How about this, let's make a bet. How many people do you think will come to ask for information tonight? The one with the worst guess will treat us to a meal. How about that?"
