After returning home, Sun Muchen had no desire to sleep. He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, pondering the series of events that had occurred since arriving at Hope Village.

She didn't notice the problems in Hope Village as quickly as Wang Lan did. This might be because Sun Muchen's practical experience was far inferior to Wang Lan's, so she couldn't perceive some subtle changes.

It wasn't until Wang Lan pointed out that Hope Village had problems.

Until today, he saw people returning from the holy city.

After that, a strange palpitation lingered in Sun Muchen's heart.

Especially at night at Lin Han's house, when Sun Muchen used magic to probe and test Lin Feng, there was no reaction at all, which seemed particularly strange.

"well……"

Sun Muchen sighed.

She increasingly felt that there was an eerie atmosphere permeating the village of Hope.

The peace in Hope Village is just a facade, and behind this facade, there seems to be something even more terrifying than the safe zone.

She could only start with these villagers.

Sun Muchen suddenly realized that he could use magical energy to scan the entire village.

She had never done so before, because she had always enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Hope Village, but now that peace and tranquility seemed to be crumbling.

Therefore, she needs to investigate thoroughly.

Since Wang Lan wasn't there, she would have to rely on herself.

But then her eyes widened suddenly.

I sat up in bed.

Since Wang Lan left, she has kept her magical energy constantly active, with a faint magical energy spreading within a fifty-meter radius around her.

It's like a sensory network woven with magical energy, and within this range, Sun Muchen will immediately notice any movement that could threaten his safety!

For example, right now...

When Sun Muchen tried to scan the entire village, her magical energy began to fluctuate.

Someone appeared nearby.

Sun Muchen immediately thought of the person who attacked him that night, as Wang Lan had mentioned. However, he didn't expect that this person would target him on the very first night after Wang Lan left.

Sun Muchen frowned, got out of bed, and pushed open the door.

"You're here?"

Sun Muchen spoke calmly.

Before her stood three people dressed in gray robes.

"You really think highly of me," Sun Muchen clicked his tongue slightly and said, "There was only one person when my brother was attacked, but this time there are three people."

"We are from the Holy City," one of the three said. "Our purpose in coming here is not to be your enemy, but to recruit you."

"recruit?"

Sun Muchen was taken aback for a moment. The magical energy slowly swept over the group. Seeing that there was indeed no killing intent on the three of them, he asked curiously, "What do you mean by recruitment?"

"We would like to invite you to join the Holy City and do things for it."

"Work for the Holy City?" Sun Muchen sneered and said, "You attacked my brother, and then you came to recruit me to work for you. Do you think I would agree?"

“We didn’t intend to attack your brother,” the gray-robed man said. “We came to Wang Lan to recruit him, but your brother is too suspicious. Before we could even speak, he attacked first, and every move was meant to kill. We did fight back, but only in self-defense.”

"Hmph," Sun Muchen snorted coldly, but questioned, "I ask you, were the mechanical wild boars that appeared on the mountain before your doing?"

The gray-robed man remained silent for a long time before answering, "That's right, it was indeed done by our Holy City, but... we meant no harm!"

"No malicious intent?" A flash of killing intent crossed Sun Muchen's eyes, and a blue light seemed to emanate from his fingers. He said, "Let's not even talk about what kind of harm the villagers would have suffered if my brother and I hadn't been there that day. My brother was poisoned by wild boar to save the villagers, and his personality changed drastically. He almost caused harm to the entire village. And you still say you had no malicious intent?"

At this point, Sun Muchen's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "You really are up to no good!"

“You’re exaggerating,” the gray-robed man said after Sun Muchen finished speaking. “We certainly didn’t mean any harm. And the poison you mentioned from the mechanical boar isn’t poison at all; it’s just a hormone used to attract other boars. With your brother’s strength, even if you don’t seek an antidote, it will dissipate on its own in a few days.”

"Hmph, what a high-sounding excuse," Sun Muchen scoffed, and continued, "Then what is your purpose? What is the purpose of creating the mechanical wild boar?"

As soon as Sun Muchen finished speaking, another voice rang out behind her.

"To make life better for the villagers of Hope Village!"

The voice was deep and hoarse, sounding very familiar. What puzzled Sun Muchen even more was that her magical energy had been constantly activated, yet she hadn't noticed anyone appearing behind her.

When Sun Muchen turned his head to look, she was immediately stunned.

The man was dressed in a long silver robe, which completely covered his body. He even wore a hood, making it impossible to see his face.

Isn't he the Holy Envoy of the Holy City?

Sun Muchen stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "You, you, you are the Holy Envoy of the Holy City?"

"That's right, it's me!"

Sun Muchen asked in surprise, "But didn't you go out with other people?"

A soft laugh came from beneath the hood, and the Holy Envoy said, "That is only what you see. It was me who went out with your brother, and it is also me standing in front of you now."
