By now, Zhang Lin was certain that the city lord was indeed in trouble.

Otherwise, it's impossible that the city lord hasn't appeared by now.

According to previous intelligence, no one has seen the city lord leave the city lord's mansion, but the city lord cannot be seen inside the city lord's mansion either.

She seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Zhang Lin felt there must be something going on, so after giving instructions to An Qingge, he went to the city lord's mansion and called Wu Zhihui and Pan Jiaxuan over.

Wu Zhihui was the city lord's chief steward, handling all the miscellaneous affairs of the city lord's mansion and Hope City.

Pan Jiaxuan, on the other hand, had a good personal relationship with the city lord and was temporarily staying at the city lord's mansion during this period.

If the city lord suddenly disappeared and left behind any clues, then only the two of them would know.

"Captain Zhang, you're finally back!"

Upon seeing Zhang Lin, Wu Zhihui's tense old face finally relaxed, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "The city lord has disappeared. Only you can find her. You must help me!"

“I will go to the city lord.” Zhang Lin nodded, then asked, “I need to know all the information about the city lord’s disappearance.”

“Of course.” Wu Zhihui nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at Pan Jiaxuan, “I don’t understand the affairs of you superhumans, so let Miss Pan explain.”

In fact, Lao Wu also awakened the extraordinary template, but he had never fought, nor did he consider himself an extraordinary person.

He truly knew nothing about the supernatural realm.

But Pan Jiaxuan is different. She knows a lot of things, some of which Wu Zhihui doesn't know.

"Come with me." Pan Jiaxuan was also very anxious. She immediately grabbed Zhang Lin's hand and led him to the city lord's boudoir.

Wu Zhihui did not follow.

With the city lord absent, he had to take charge of the overall situation in the city lord's mansion and maintain the operation of Hope City. Moreover... men were not allowed to enter the city lord's boudoir.

Of course, Zhang Lin is an exception.

Soon, the two arrived at the city lord's boudoir.

Speaking of which, Zhang Lin had been to many places in the city lord's mansion, but he had never been to the city lord's boudoir. Before, when he met the city lord, it was always in the reception room.

The lord's boudoir was not much different from ordinary rooms, decorated in a warm color scheme, but Zhang Lin noticed one thing: there were no mirrors.

It seems the city lord really doesn't want to see his mechanical body.

“There’s only this one unusual thing in Tang Jun’s room. Besides you, only Lao Wu and I know about it. It’s obvious that her disappearance is related to this thing.” Pan Jiaxuan pointed to a silver-white mechanical cube on the floor of the city lord’s bedroom.

It's about the size of an electric oven, square in shape, and silver-white overall, with stripes made of various metals pieced together.

Zhang Lin squatted down to examine it closely, even picking it up to check. The thing was heavy and made of solid metal, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see anything strange about it.

Were you present when the city lord disappeared?

“Nobody’s here.” Pan Jiaxuan shrugged. “There was a burst of bright light coming out of this room that lasted for a long time. By the time we realized something was wrong and came in to check, the city lord had already disappeared. There was only this metal cube in the room.”

I've lost my way.

Pan Jiaxuan's discovery served no purpose other than proving that the city lord's disappearance was related to this thing.

Even if they know that the city lord went missing because of this thing, how are they supposed to use it to find him?

"How long has the city lord been missing?"

Zhang Lin asked again.

“It’s been exactly ten days today!” Pan Jiaxuan replied. “We didn’t dare to announce it to the public, but with Fu Haifeng and the others’ probing, the news couldn’t be kept secret. It’s just that you came back today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

Pan Jiaxuan also knows Zhang Lin quite well.

If anything happens to his woman, this guy will absolutely go insane. He'll kill everyone who harmed his woman before the beast tide arrives.

Even if unleashing a massacre would lead to humanity's annihilation by the beast tide, Zhang Lin would still do it.

So Pan Jiaxuan was fortunate that Zhang Lin came back, which prevented the worst outcome from happening.

However, not being able to find the city lord is still a problem.

Hope City cannot be without a city lord.

Just as the West cannot exist without Jerusalem.

Regarding this matter, if the city lord were present, she wouldn't even need to say a word; just showing her face would have been enough to deter Fan Haifeng and the others from doing such a thing.

"You can't understand this either?"

Seeing that Zhang Lin hadn't figured anything out after studying it for a long time, Pan Jiaxuan couldn't help but ask a question, her tone very disappointed.

She had a misunderstanding about the city lord before, so she had long harbored a deep hatred for him.

But after the misunderstanding was cleared up, she discovered that the city lord was still the same innocent little sister she had always been, although the little sister was now quite old.

She has only awakened some memories; her real age is still in her early twenties.

But the city lord is a real, living person who has lived for thousands of years.

She no longer dared to treat the city lord as a little sister; instead, she now regarded him as her pillar of support.

"It looks somewhat familiar, but... I don't understand it." Zhang Lin shook his head.

"look familiar?"

Pan Jiaxuan's tone was somewhat excited, "Where else have you seen this thing? Perhaps this is an important clue. The city lord may have gone to that place. We can go directly to the city lord."

"How do we get to the eldest daughter's amusement park?" Zhang Lin glanced at her.

He hadn't actually seen this thing at his eldest daughter's amusement park. Rather, it was because this thing was very similar to the city lord's mechanical body, and the city lord obtained his extraordinary template at his eldest daughter's amusement park. So he said this thing was related to his eldest daughter's amusement park.

Both the city lord and Pan Jiaxuan have said, and they have both experienced it firsthand, that each person can only go once, and the opportunity to enter can only be refreshed after the world cycle.

"this……"

Pan Jiaxuan was speechless.

Each person can only enter the eldest daughter's amusement park once, something she has personally verified.

“However, we really have to go. If we can get into the eldest daughter’s amusement park, even if we don’t find the city lord, we can still find the city lord’s backup consciousness, and then find a vessel to directly regenerate the city lord’s consciousness on the new vessel. That way, no matter what happens to the city lord, we can ‘rescue’ him!” Zhang Lin said again.

Pan Jiaxuan was dumbfounded.

Is this even possible?

“That’s right, so we have to go to the eldest daughter’s amusement park.” Zhang Lin nodded.

Actually, it wasn't that Pan Jiaxuan couldn't think of it, but rather that she didn't know the secret of the city lord's rebirth.

But Zhang Lin knew that his personality was straightforward. Since he couldn't find the city lord, he would let the city lord be reborn, and all the problems would be solved.

"But how do we get in?" Pan Jiaxuan asked.

"Are you stupid? Why don't we just bring some people who've never been to the eldest daughter's amusement park?" Zhang Lin looked at her as if she were an idiot.
