After that, there was a brief silence.

After a while, Yan Chu said calmly:

"If you are determined to do this, I agree, because this is the best solution."

"You didn't choose the optimal solution at the beginning? This is not like you." Luo Yan said.

Yan Chu has always been hailed as an "emotionless war machine" and even called a "dictator" by the people.

The military officials had conducted a psychological investigation on him, but they never found out the reason why he was shaped into his current personality. Yan Chu only answered their questions once.

Now, he answered the question again:

"For the sake of civilization, someone has to become non-human, me, or you."

Hearing this, Luo Yan took a deep breath:

"It is my honor to have fought alongside you."

He hung up the phone and looked into the distance from the Great Wall, looking at the crack that looked like a silver line.

Judgment is coming.

......

In the darkness, Perlis suddenly opened her eyes, and a halo appeared in her bloodshot eyes.

Just now, she sensed someone sneaking into the RV!

And now, this person was at the door of her and Carly's room, preparing to fiddle with the door lock!

That couldn't be Aoi or Saya. Perlis didn't sense any familiar factor entanglement.

"Carly..." Perlis whispered in Carly's ear.

"I'm awake, and [Little Bird]'s alarm has been breached," Carly whispered, "Should we just do it, or wait for him to come in?"

"Do it."

After saying this, Perlis stood up from the bed lightly and took out a butterfly knife.

She gave the silver blade a layer of red light, and then threw it towards the door.

"boom!"

The silver blade tore open the door, making a sound of flesh tearing, and Perlis heard a muffled groan.

She pushed the door open, only to find no one in the corridor of the RV, only a pool of blood on the ground.

No one? Perlis frowned, but suddenly felt a faint sense of weirdness.

——The pool of blood in front of me contains remnants of the power from the underworld!

Is it the Black Tide Cult? Perlis tried to sense the surroundings, but found that she could not sense anything.

It is impossible for this guy to sneak to the door without being noticed.

The only possibility is to move through the Nether!

Perlis immediately expanded her senses, trying to sense the direction of the attacker, but found that she felt nothing.

But at the same time, her pupils shrank and she realized something was wrong——

——There is no entanglement of her genes in Lian’s room!

Perlis ran to Lian's room, slammed the locked door open, and found that Lian's bed was empty!

She disappeared! Disappeared in a closed secret room!

"Carly!" Perlis shouted immediately.

"I've been looking for it, but..."

Carly fiddled with the blue light while looking around anxiously, but found nothing.

"No... not at all. I have built a very strict monitoring network around the RV. No one has left or approached..."

The two looked at each other, and then looked at the blood with the remnants of the underworld at the same time.

There is no doubt that the invaders came from the [Netherworld].

Ever since the group entered Far Town, the existence in the darkness opened its eyes!

......

13) Elegy of Far Town (Part 5) -4k chapter-

Pearlis and Carly didn't sleep all night.

Before dawn, the two had a clear division of labor: Carly used the drone to look for Lian, while Perlis was responsible for guarding everything around.

After learning of Lian's disappearance, Aoi and Saya returned at dawn, in a hurry.

At this time, there are still 3 days before the Lord of the Black Tide reaches the Great Wall.

"Where's Lianbao!" As soon as Aoi got in the car, he rushed into Lian's room, "Lianbao!"

She knelt down beside the bedside table, picked up a pink children's watch, and stared blankly at the small animal patterns on it.

"Aoi... I'm so sorry..." Carly walked behind Aoi, not knowing what to say.

"...No, it's not your fault..."

Aoi slowly stood up, covered her face with her hands, and rubbed them gently.

She put the small watch into her pocket, took a deep breath and said:

"Any clues?"

"It's basically confirmed to be the power of the netherworld," Perlis said, "If it was an ordinary thief, I could sense it."

Considering that Aoi and Rei's mother, Sakura Sumamori, has connections with the Kuroshio Cult, it is very likely that this power from the underworld is aimed at them.

But there was only one thing that puzzled Perlis: Lian was not an easy person to deal with. Although she looked like just a little girl, her fighting ability was not bad, and it was impossible for her not to set up a defense system in the room before going to sleep.

So why did she disappear? Could it be that the force that dragged her away was so strong that Lian couldn't react at all?

No...it's not like that...Perlis recalled what happened last night. Whoever the intruder was, he ran away immediately after being injured by the butterfly knife thrown by Perlis.

If he was really so powerful that Lian couldn't hurt him, it would be impossible for her to react.

"Anyway, let's go ask the mayor first," Shaya said worriedly, "After all, this is near the town center. Although it's shabby, it has a basic surveillance system."

"Good idea," Carly nodded and pulled her hood up, "Let's go."

......

"You said that all the surveillance cameras were under maintenance last night, so there wasn't any footage left?"

"Yeah, I guess I don't need to repeat myself."

The mayor looked up at Saya, who looked angry, then lowered his head and started to sort out a pile of documents on the table.

Seeing this, Shaya patted the table lightly:

"Can't you come up with a better excuse?"

"What excuse? If I say it's for inspection, then it's for inspection. If you don't believe me, go ask the property management yourself." The mayor didn't even raise his head.

"I say, don't you know what's going on?" Aoi's voice became louder. "Your guest has disappeared right under your noses!"

Aoi's voice seemed to make the guards behind her nervous immediately. Perlis noticed that they tightened their weapons and moved closer.

These two guards seemed to be the mayor's personal guards. They were also guarding here yesterday.

Perlis observed the two guys out of the corner of her eye and noticed sharply that the legs of one of them were trembling slightly.

"I'm sorry that guests coming from afar don't know how to take care of themselves, huh?"

The mayor raised his head and winked at Aoi provocatively.

Aoi wanted to say something, but Carly grabbed her wrist and whispered in her ear:

"Let's go back first."

The group left the mayor's office and returned to the RV.

As soon as she entered the RV, Carly immediately said:

"Stay away from this place first, it's not safe."

Shaya nodded, then got into the driver's seat and started driving on the streets of Yuan Town.

The huge Tortoise RV seems out of place among the dilapidated buildings.

As the car crossed the street, countless pale and skinny faces popped out of the windows, then quickly shrank back and closed the windows.

"..."

In front of the tea-making bar, Perlis and the other two sat in silence for a while, all of them were silent.

"The mayor is lying," Carly said coldly, "That excuse is so lame."

In fact, Carly's [Little Bird] has monitoring capabilities. If Lian was transferred out of the RV through normal channels, she would naturally be able to record it.

Asking the mayor was just a small test - to test whether the residents of the distant town were related to this matter.

"That guy..." Aoi clenched her fists tightly, "It must be them who did it..."

The usually calm Aoi seems unable to keep her composure when it comes to matters concerning her sister.

Seeing this, Perlis said:

"It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with them. Maybe the mayor just refused to help us, so he made up an excuse."

"This possibility exists, but at most it can only rule out part of the mayor's suspicion. This matter must be related to the people from Yuanzhen." Carly said.

"What do you mean?" Aoi couldn't help herself.

"Let Little White Flower speak first." Carly nodded to Pearlis.

Perlis cleared her throat, recalling what happened last night, and whispered:

"The attacker was hit by the butterfly knife I threw and his blood fell on the RV."

"I collected enough blood samples for Little White Flower to identify the factor entanglement of that thing," Carly said, "It was the person from Far Town."

"Who is it?" Aoi clenched her fists.

"The two black-robed guards in the mayor's room, the two guys with guns." Perlis said simply and directly.

I went to find the mayor to ask questions, not really expecting to get any information from him. On the one hand, it was to test him, and on the other hand, it was to identify the factor entanglement in the blood.

Just a dozen seconds after entering the mayor's office, Perlis found the source of the factor entanglement.

It was the guard. His legs were shaking as he walked, and he was obviously injured.

That guy was the attacker at Perlis's door last night.

"Those guys are so stupid that they didn't even know to change someone to guard," Carly said disdainfully, "Even if this matter has nothing to do with the mayor, that guy can't escape."

"They are wearing black robes and look very similar to the Black Tide Cult..." said Perlis.

"But it could also be just a disguise, or even a deliberate misdirection," Carly said. "In any case, the suspect has been identified."

"Then why should we leave? Shouldn't we catch him on the spot?" Aoi's voice rose a few degrees.

"That would give the people of Yuanzhen a handle on us, giving them a legitimate reason to interfere with our search for Lian," Carly said. "If I'm not mistaken, those guys targeted us when we proposed to search for the Sky Eye Facility Zero. Lian's disappearance is also related to that incident."

"Aoi, calm down," Perlis whispered, "I know how you feel, but..."

Hearing what Perlis said, Aoi took a deep breath and then exhaled.

"Sorry, my bad, I have a bad attitude, but..."

"We will find Lian," Perlis held Aoi's hand, "Trust me."

The stars of the White Flame Constellation flashed in her eyes, and in an instant, she locked onto the attacker's location.

"I'll go find him. Until then, calm down."

As she spoke, Perlis nodded at Carly, then turned around, tore open a crack, and disappeared.

Looking at the place where she disappeared, Carly whispered:

"Aoi, we have to take action here too."
