Please be my partner.

Adili covered his mouth, pinched his throat, and fell to the ground screaming.

Adili felt unprecedented pain, as if he had swallowed a piece of burning charcoal. His tongue, throat, and stomach seemed to be burning.

This painful feeling is in stark contrast to what we often hear from adults: that wine tastes good.

He couldn't even imagine how the adults swallowed such things. It was simply torture.

Seeing this, the other two friends immediately surrounded them, but they were at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do.

After a long time, Adili felt a little better, but he began to feel dizzy.

He staggered back and forth, looking behind the two of them, and suddenly grinned, "Really...really beautiful..."

Fushahui and Maggie originally thought that Adili was talking nonsense, but suddenly, they felt their hair stand on end. It was the instinct of life warning them.

The two of them turned their heads suddenly and saw a dreamlike scene...

The winery building behind me had turned into a fantasy forest at some point, with colorful mist floating in it, making the entire forest even more psychedelic and hazy.

Moreover, the picture was still spreading outward inch by inch, and was about to cover the three of them. They seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, unable to move or break free.

At this moment, a cowhide rope came from a distance, directly tied up the three people, and then dragged them away from the spot.

It was Mellen who used a restraining rope to drag the three of them out.

A naughty kid is a naughty kid, but his crime does not deserve the death penalty.

Besides, since Mellen has used them to explore the way, he should still rescue them if they are in danger and it is within his ability.

At this time, Melen looked at the changing area with a serious expression. He had recognized that this was actually a space crack.

When the space in a certain area becomes unstable, it is possible for a space rift to occur, connecting it to another extremely distant area.

If you accidentally enter it, you may be teleported thousands of miles away, or even to other worlds!

Melen never expected that the mysterious incident that caused more than a dozen people to disappear was actually caused by a weak point in space that caused a space rift.

No wonder the police and the Special Affairs Bureau's investigations yielded nothing.

The emergence of this kind of space crack is extremely random. It is extremely difficult to detect clues unless you happen to encounter it or have spatial abilities.

After figuring this out, more doubts arose in my mind.

Normally, weak points in space have fixed causes. The probability of natural formation is not zero, but it is usually so small that it is almost negligible.

So, how did this weak point in space appear?

Naturally occurring?

Or...

Man-made? !

Chapter 96 Bait and Party

In less than a minute, the space crack exploded like a dream bubble and disappeared.

The three naughty kids stared at the scene blankly, having forgotten how to react.

Melen also fell into deep thought as he was thinking about the space rift.

For a moment, the already empty winery became even quieter. Apart from the sound of breathing, you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, Adili's eyes lit up. He looked at Melen and said, "You...you are the legendary...superhuman? Do superhumans really exist?!"

At this time, Adili was extremely excited. He was already imagining in his mind how to let the uncle in front of him teach him those magical skills.

He might even be so gifted that the uncle in front of him would cry and beg to take him as his disciple!

Mellen didn't mind having his thoughts interrupted. After all, he wouldn't be able to figure out the reason for this kind of thing if he just thought about it on his own. If he wanted to get the truth, he still needed to conduct more investigations.

He glanced at the three naughty kids, turned around and was about to leave without any intention of communicating.

Adili was anxious and said quickly, "Sir, please wait a moment!"

Melen looked at Adili with a puzzled look.

Adili hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing this, Melen smiled slightly in his heart. He had guessed what Adili was thinking from his expression. In fact, it was not difficult to guess. After all, he was a child, and what he wanted was basically written on his face.

Not to mention that Mellen has no plans to recruit subordinates now, even if he did, the fool in front of him is not qualified.

Then he ignored it and disappeared into the night with a few flashes.

Only three naughty kids were left, each feeling disappointed.

However, what happened today was like a seed planted deep in their hearts, bringing some changes to their future lives.

At this time, Melen had quickly moved away from the winery. He had now come to his senses and realized that the third piece of information was most likely false.

This doesn't mean that Liman lied to him, but rather that the other party's level was not high enough and he couldn't get to the core truth of the incident.

After all, space rifts can be big or small...

To put it simply, it is just a natural phenomenon. Once the weak points in space are filled, all abnormalities will disappear.

To put it in a broader sense, this might be a conspiracy by some powerful organization. It is not impossible that it is a prelude to summoning evil gods or powerful beings from other dimensions.

if it is like this……

Mellen slowly stopped and looked at the two figures wearing Special Affairs Bureau uniforms that appeared one after another, with a wry smile on his face.

This place should be used for fishing, and now, it seems that the fish has been hooked.

Although he knew it was impossible, Mellen still wanted to struggle. He raised his hands and acted innocently, saying, "I said I came here just out of curiosity. Do you believe me?"

The man in front of him had a cold expression on his face, completely unmoved, and was approaching slowly with a strange rhythm in his steps.

A gentle, magnetic female voice came from behind him, saying, "Of course we believe it, but as part of our duty, we still have to ask you to come back to the Special Affairs Bureau with us. As long as you reveal your identity and are not wanted, I promise that the Special Affairs Bureau will not make things difficult for you."

Mellen sighed in his heart. It was impossible to go back with the other party. He didn't want to reveal his identity, at least not so easily.

He clenched his palms suddenly, and rushed towards the cold-blooded man in front of him, punching him without any tricks.

The cold man's eyes lit up, he paused, and in a very short time he took a stance to accumulate strength, then punched out.

The cold-blooded man was extremely confident. With this skill, he rarely encountered any rivals in battles with other first-level extraordinary professionals.

"Boom!~"

Amidst the dull low sound, the cold-blooded man's expression changed. He seemed to be hit by a giant mammoth. His posture immediately fell apart and he staggered backward.

Before Mellen could throw another punch, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind him.

He turned around and raised his arm to block, but the sharp sword light cut a deep wound on his arm.

She clenched her right hand into a fist, but before she could strike out, she felt a terrifying sense of oppression, causing the sword-wielding woman's face to change slightly, and she quickly changed her body shape to dodge.

Mellen swung his fist from slow to fast, and during this process, the milky white airflow seemed to be compressed into a substance and attached to the surface of his fist.

"Boom!~"

This was a punch that exploded the air. The female member of the Special Affairs Bureau had clearly dodged it, but her cheek was still hurt by the strong wind.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mellen leaped back to create some distance, then quickly entered the shadows of the street and disappeared.

The two people from the Special Affairs Bureau reunited and did not pursue them any further.

The cold man asked solemnly, "Gray, what do you think?"

Gray said softly, "Without using any supernatural powers, it's impossible to tell what his profession is. He's reached the upper reaches of the first level using only physical strength, so his profession level is probably the second level. What have you discovered, Richman?"

Richman said, "The opponent's fighting style is somewhat similar to that of a knight. Even if he is not a knight, he should have received formal training and does not look like a wild extraordinary person."

Gray said thoughtfully, "Are you saying that the other party was sent here by a noble to test him?"

"what?!"

Suddenly, Gray let out a light exclamation and raised the sword in her hand.

This sword had clearly just injured Mellen, but there was no trace of blood on it.

Let’s put aside the speculation of the two Special Affairs Bureau members about Mellen’s identity.

Mellen, who was running away, slowed down when he saw that the people from the Special Affairs Bureau were not chasing him.

He looked at the wound on his left arm. There was a hint of bright red flowing in it, but not a drop of blood flowed out. This was naturally the ability of Xiao Honglian.

After all, the supernatural world has all kinds of strange abilities. What if the enemy gets his blood and is able to locate him or even curse him?

When you are in the world, it is very important to be cautious!

With a gentle brush of his right hand, the wound instantly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

In [Azur Ring], Spike looked at the small cuts on his claws and was speechless.

Melen was very satisfied with this battle. Although the [Wolf Tamer] only had a small bonus to physical fitness, it was still considerable after reaching the second level.

Coupled with the 20% all-attribute additions from Spike and Little Red Lotus, Mellen has already reached the level of a second-tier physical combat professional in terms of strength, physique, and agility.

Of course, because he doesn't have the corresponding combat skills, basically any second-level combat professional can beat him in a 1v1 battle.

But even so, he has begun to break away from the limitation of the Beastmaster type profession, where the baby is powerful but he himself is weak.

When someone in the future sets a trap based on his professional weakness as a Beast Tamer and tries to harm him, he can let the other party know what a surprise is!

The next morning, when Mellen was enjoying breakfast, to his surprise, Liman came to visit.

In fact, according to the basic etiquette of this world, few people would come to visit early in the morning, but Melen didn't care.

He called out, "Sheriff Liman, have you eaten?"

After saying this, without waiting for the latter's reply, he said to Butler Morgan: "Give our Sheriff some breakfast."

Suddenly, Liman swallowed back what he wanted to say.

When Liman's breakfast was served, Mellen asked, "Sheriff Liman, why did you come to see me so early?"

Liman smiled and said, "I heard from Butler Morgan last time that you've been leaving early and coming back late recently, so I came early today to see you."

Melen was stunned. He didn't expect it was because of this. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Liman continued, "Last time you mentioned wanting to join the local supernatural community in Vero City. I've already asked my friend at the Special Affairs Bureau, and he said there's a party going on today. I wonder if you have time."

"Oh? Today?"

Mellen showed interest. He had planned to look for Isaiah's whereabouts today and find out what was going on over there. However, there was no rush for this matter. Maybe the other party was still in a state of alarm. In that case, it would be better to wait and see.

So he said, "I'm free! When does the party start?"

Liman said, "I don't know the exact time, but my friend from the Special Affairs Bureau asked me to take you to see him at three in the afternoon."

"Three o'clock in the afternoon?" Mellen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Liman added: "It's best to wear something that can conceal your identity when you go, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Mellen nodded to show that he understood.

Since we have decided to let the bullets fly for a while, there is no need to rush.

After breakfast, Liman said goodbye and left, while Mellen leisurely went out to the library to read.

Ever since his brain started to work better, Mellen has become more and more fond of reading. The feeling of acquiring knowledge is wonderful.

I had lunch in the restaurant in the library, and when I felt sleepy, I lay down on the recliner and took a nap.

Seeing that it was half past two, Mellen slowly stood up and walked towards the agreed place.

This is a cafe not far from the police station, and the environment looks quite nice.

It was exactly three o'clock when Mellen arrived at the box he had reserved in advance.

Liman and another person had arrived early. What surprised him was that the friend from the Special Affairs Bureau that Liman mentioned was actually an "acquaintance".

It was the cold-blooded man who blocked his way yesterday.

Liman introduced the two men to each other: "This is Master Mellen, and this is Richman, the captain of the Special Affairs Bureau's third team."

After the three of them exchanged greetings for a while, Liman left. There was still a lot of work to be done at the police station.

Richman looked at Mellen secretly, and always felt that there was an indescribable strange feeling about the latter, which made him a little alert.

Richman was born with an intuition that was different from that of ordinary people. This ability was further enhanced after he became an extraordinary professional, so he often trusted his intuition.
