So far, the number of missing people has reached 27.

With things developing to this point, the school naturally took over the follow-up investigation of this disappearance.

After several rounds of meetings and discussions, the school decided to send an elite investigation team to the royal city of the Ativi Empire. This time, Wang Feng came to invite Gu Shi to join this team.

Gu Shi was very surprised after hearing this. He pointed at himself and confirmed with Wang Feng again, "Me? Captain Wang, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"

Gu Shi had a very clear understanding of himself. Although he was strong, he had not received professional training like Wang Feng and the others. If he went with them, he might hold them back in unexpected places.

Thinking of this, Gu Shi politely declined, "Captain Wang, you are going there to investigate the missing persons case, but I don't have much experience in this area, so I may not be able to help you."

Wang Feng waved his hand, interrupting Gu Shi's words, "Don't rush to refuse, listen to me first."

“The school didn’t invite you this time to find someone. These aspects will naturally be taken care of by professionals.

We invite you because we need a strong person to lead the team. You don't have to do anything when the time comes, just follow our team.

If there is any need for your help, someone will naturally notify you."

In short, Wang Feng came here for Gu Shi's fighting ability. If Gu Shi agrees with the decision, he will play the role of a thug in the team.

"Of course, because this mission carries a relatively high potential risk, the school has also offered very generous compensation.

Here, this is the list I got. If you have any comments, we can still discuss it."

Having said that, Wang Feng handed the list to Gu Shi.

Gu Shi took it and took a look. It was just as Wang Feng said. The school had invested a lot of money this time. The long list almost made him dizzy.

After taking a quick look at the list, Gu Shi noticed something was amiss. "Captain Wang, are you sure you got the right list? The amount of money the school is offering seems a bit off."

Wang Feng sighed and explained, "To be honest, the school is beginning to suspect that this disappearance incident was specifically targeted at us.

Recently, some suspicious traces have appeared near the No. 5 base. If the enemy really sneaks in, we may be forced to close this base for a period of time, which will cause great losses.

The school hopes to quickly uncover the cause of the disappearances and rescue those missing, which is why they are offering such a generous reward."

"So that's how it is."

Gu Shi touched his chin and thought carefully. He was a little unsure whether he should take on this task.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Shi would definitely not mind helping out, but the problem is that he is now taking care of a living ancestor who may very well be related to the future of Blue Star. It is difficult to say which one is more important.

Gu Shi pondered for a moment, then asked Wang Feng, "How long will this mission take?"

Wang Feng replied: "It's not certain yet. The school has given a deadline of one month, but the specific time will depend on the actual situation at that time."

Gu Shi considered it for a while and finally agreed.

Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we have a deal.

Because the school is pressing us, the team has to leave in three days. Someone will come to find you tomorrow to take you to make some preliminary preparations and get to know your teammates."

Gu Shi nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After Wang Feng left, Gu Shi glanced at the flower pot on the table and said, "Are you leaving in three days? I'll give you some more magic power in the next two days."

Gu Shi didn't plan to take the flower pot with him. Not to mention that it would be somewhat inconvenient, if something happened to it, it would be a big problem.

It would be better to leave it in school, or directly ask the system to take care of it. Although this will delay the growth time of the seeds, it is safer.

The next morning, Gu Shi was brought to the school gymnasium. There were already quite a few people standing scattered on the basketball court.

After he walked in, he glanced around. In addition to unexpectedly discovering a few familiar figures, he also saw a few unfamiliar foreign faces.

Gu Shi was very surprised. He didn't expect that there would be foreigners in the team this time.

Because the necessary procedures had not been completed, Gu Shi originally planned to go and reminisce about the past later, but he did not expect that the person who brought him here would bring him directly to an acquaintance.

"Captain Zhang, the person has been brought here."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhang Bei, who was originally talking to someone else, turned around and smiled at Gu Shi, "Long time no see."

Gu Shi also smiled and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you guys here, Captain Zhang."

Zhang Nan quickly ran from behind Zhang Bei to Gu Shi's side and said happily, "Wow, the helper Wang Feng was talking about is you, Gu Shi! I thought you had the same name.

This is really great, we all know each other. When Wang Feng said that a very powerful person would come, I was worried that it would be troublesome if he was the type who was difficult to communicate with.

Gu Shi responded with a smile.

He was also very happy to meet Zhang Bei and the others. Having a few familiar people in the team was much better than integrating into a completely unfamiliar team.

Zhang Bei patted Zhang Nan's shoulder and said, "Alright, calm down a bit. I have something to do here. Take Gu Shi over to get the things and explain the situation to him."

"No problem, I will complete the task." Zhang Nan made an OK gesture.

Zhang Bei nodded at Gu Shi, and then started talking to others again.

"Come on, I'll take you to get the disguise first." Zhang Nan pulled Gu Shi to the left.

Gu Shi asked doubtfully, "Leading a disguise?"

"That's right." Zhang Nan explained, "In order not to alert the enemy, we are a caravan from the Igrit Empire this time, and our purpose of going to the Ativi Empire is to open up new markets.

Under this premise, it is not appropriate for us to continue using this black-haired, black-eyed appearance, so this time everyone in the team will have a new identity, and their appearance characteristics are more in line with the image of the Igrit people. "

Gu Shi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had just seen several unfamiliar foreign faces. It turned out that they were all disguises.

He then asked, "This disguise should only cover my appearance, right? My acting skills aren't very good, and I have a complex character. I think it would be easy to be exposed."

Zhang Nan waved his hand. "Hey, don't worry about that. You won't be asked to negotiate with other people about this matter. You just need to keep quiet and act cool."

"We're here, wait for me."

After saying that, Zhang Nan walked to a table and said a few words to a middle-aged man, then came back with something.
