Choose one of the two options

Mo Zhuxi was the first to agree with Pei Jingnian's opinion. After all, although he had good sleep quality and could fall back asleep quickly even when woken up, he still hated being woken up in his sleep.

He Yanzhou felt that Pei Jingnian's words made sense, and he also had the same worries as Lu Jingbai, fearing that something might happen to Alina.

Although, given the level of security at this manor, it's unlikely that anything will happen.

The snow wolf's tail swayed slightly, and Gu Hansheng said in animal language, "I'll go take a look."

[Hurry, hurry! General Gu must make a decisive decision!]

[Linlin's wife picked up a package early this morning, so she shouldn't have overslept. If she's not in the bedroom doing errands now, something bad could very well happen!]

[You're being way too pessimistic, aren't you? Maybe your wife is just opening a package. It's such a big one.]

There were conflicting opinions in the comments, but as soon as Gu Hansheng left, everyone in the living room felt uneasy for some reason and immediately turned around and followed him.

Before she even reached the bedroom door, Gu Hansheng could see the robot waiting outside from afar.

His calm mind was suddenly stirred, and he felt a little flustered.

Based on Alina's usual routine, being 10 minutes late is nothing, but being 20 or nearly 30 minutes late is a bit unsettling. Coupled with the delivery this morning, the military leader decided to come and check on her.

As long as everything is safe, everything will be fine. But if something goes wrong... Thinking of the marshal's instructions before he left, the person in charge suddenly shuddered.

Coincidentally, just as the robot arrived at Alina's door, Gu Hansheng set off from the dining room, so the orc controlling the robot gave it the order to wait.

The moment he saw the robot, Gu Hansheng quickened his pace and was in front of it in a second.

He glanced down and clearly recognized the words on the robot's display screen: "We are also worried about Alina. Since General Gu is here, please come and greet her." ^_^~

Nothing bad has happened.

That's good.

Gu Hansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the door suddenly opened after he rang the doorbell but received no response.

The snow wolf's expression immediately tensed up.

Suppressing his anxiety, Gu Hansheng quickly raised his hand and pressed the doorbell again, telling himself: Press it one more time, I can't just barge in, after all, this is her private space.

'3, 2, 1!'

"Clang!"

After counting to three, Gu Hansheng did not hesitate at all and smashed the door open with his tail.

The first thing that catches the eye is not the empty room, but the eye-catching colorful little clothes. The brightly colored dresses cover most of the sofa, but that's not the point.

"The person has disappeared!"

The snow wolf's amber eyes instantly frosted over, and its suppressed howl carried a hint of uncontrollable fear.

Who kidnapped Alina?

What does he want to do?

Lu Jingbai and the others, who arrived a few steps later, all felt their hearts stop beating, and panic spread.

Thus began a grand search for the missing person, while at the same time, the live stream was shut down.

The live stream was shut down the moment Alina disappeared, so Chu Yanbing would open the live stream whenever she had free time and see the whole scene clearly.

His expression suddenly darkened, and his snow-white claws left several deep scratches on the sturdy leather sofa beneath him. Even his beastly language couldn't mask the suppressed rage and fear in Chu Yanbing's voice: "Linlin has been captured."

Yes, not missing, but arrested.

Linlin left her bedroom abruptly. She's such a well-behaved girl and has never sneaked out of the manor before. If she wasn't caught, what else could it be?

My mental sea, which had long since calmed down, once again surged like a hurricane and tsunami, becoming incredibly chaotic.

A series of precise commands came out of Chu Yanbing's mouth, and instantly, the entire First Legion, the Crown Prince's Guard, and the Princess Consort's Guard were mobilized in an orderly manner.

Everything inside and outside Z-6 came to life. Chu Yanbing didn't waste a single second or even take a break during the last three spatial jumps, completing them all in one go.

Despite the side effects of continuous spatial jumps, the snow-white kitten flew like a meteor from the semi-aircraft ship straight to Alina's bedroom.

The bedroom door was open, and as soon as Chu Yanbing entered, he saw the sofa full of little skirts. But at that moment, he had no time to worry about whether his beast form wearing skirts would be exposed.

All I could think about was: Is Linlin very scared?

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been kidnapped using a delivery robot.

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been targeted.

Why didn't he notice when someone had already sent threatening photos via delivery robot?

If he had started prevention and control measures back then, Linlin wouldn't have been arrested today.

Even though he had mobilized all the resources at his disposal, and finding Alina was probably only a matter of time, Chu Yanbing still couldn't control the extreme self-blame and panic in his heart.

Even though there are countless ways to commit theft.

"Ding-dong."

An ordinary message delivery notification sounded from the personal terminal in Chu Yanbing's hand. The snow-white cat's paw trembled, its pupils contracted, and it nervously controlled its mental power to open the personal terminal.

If you want to rescue them, come alone following the map; you can't bring weapons.

His deep blue pupils appeared particularly cold under the pale blue light of the screen. Clicking on the map link revealed only a green dot representing his location and a yellow arrow.

His Adam's apple bobbed, Chu Yanbing's eyes were extremely dark, and he said in a cold voice, "No need to look anymore."

Cantel looked up in shock: "What?"

"He's come looking for me."

Knowing full well about the Marshal's feelings, Canter saw the link in the message the Marshal sent and did not try to dissuade him or say anything about how unsafe it was or that he shouldn't go. Instead, he used his mental power to control the densely packed light screen in front of him and quickly began to decipher it.

Few people know that Cantel is also a genius in quantum information and optical computing.

Looking at the cold, impersonal computer, Chu Yanbing didn't waste any more words on the other side of the account. He found a speed-oriented aircraft and quickly left the manor.

The further they walked, the more people they encountered, and the other party didn't seem afraid that he would discover their final destination.

The snow-white tail swished loudly on the black leather chair, and Chu Yanbing felt that she already knew what the other party was planning.

[Evacuate...] People in the city center.

Chu Yanbing had only typed two words when, as if the other party knew what message he was about to send, another communication came through with a "ding-dong".

[The city center, or your beloved? Marshal, choose one.]

His deep blue eyes, like the ocean, held a hidden turbulent undercurrent. He slammed his eyelids shut, and the instant he opened them again, Chu Yanbing finished the message. Then, multitasking, he sent another message to Canter.

He wants both the people and her!

Even though he knew in his heart that Alina's life was safe.

After all, the other party had gone to such lengths to lure him there.

But Chu Yanbing's heart was still filled with familiar feelings of self-loathing.

Being alive and well does not mean you will not get hurt.

"Oh."

From the shadows, a cold, mocking voice seemed to be scoffing at his greed.

*

As soon as she regained consciousness, Alina felt as if she were a piece of cargo, being transported inside something.

Outside her eyelids was complete darkness, and she couldn't control her fear of the dark; cold sweat instantly broke out.

She had originally intended to feign unconsciousness to scout out the enemy's situation, but now her reaction was so strong that anyone who wasn't blind could tell that she was awake.

But the surrounding noise remained unchanged, proving that she was alone in the enclosed space.

Even though she feared the darkness, it didn't affect Alina's rationality. She now had two choices: one was to restore her magic, illuminate the darkness, scout out enemy positions, and save herself; the other was to observe the situation without spending points, secretly gather information, and wait for her workplace to rescue her. Her current job was live streaming, so someone would surely discover her disappearance soon.

If Alina weren't afraid of the dark, she would definitely have chosen option two. After all, every minute counts, and she can tell the difference between a full meal and a regular meal, but...

Just as she was about to exchange the card, a tiny light suddenly appeared in her pitch-black vision, and the light grew bigger and bigger.

Instantly, Alina closed her eyes and stopped exchanging cards.

A pungent smell suddenly assaulted her nostrils, and after holding it in for a while, she simply couldn't take it anymore.

With a frown, Alina, still curled up inside the package, groggily opened her eyes and asked blankly, "Where am I?"

"You like the marshal? But he doesn't seem to like you the most. He doesn't care about your safety at all in order to save some unrelated people."

Alina, who appeared to be in a daze but was actually quite awake, opened her eyes to see a black rat the size of her palm, making a series of mechanical, electronic noises on the ground.

What is it?

When did I ever say I liked the marshal?

Besides being the little cutie's future owner (scratch that, family) and current owner, what other connection do they have?

Oh, except for interactions in the virtual world.

“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Your current predicament is entirely due to the Marshal. If he had chosen to protect you, I guarantee you wouldn’t have been hurt at all. Unfortunately… tsk tsk.”

As she spoke, a tiny rat, no bigger than a palm, with a wicked smile that Alina could barely make out if she didn't look closely, walked towards her.

"?"

Has anything changed?

It seems like... there's a gentle breeze?

Constantly suffering from the pain of being suppressed by the laws, and having taken painkillers, the outside elves were completely unaware of the natives' unique attack methods.

Could it be...?

Is it trying to make him look ugly?

Although Alina is a plush toy lover, she doesn't just love anything with fur; she has her own aesthetic sense!

For example, this rat with its pointed snout and monkey-like cheeks, despite its small size, cannot hide its ugliness; perhaps it's a case of disliking the house because of its inhabitants.

Its owner was so ugly that its image in her mind was naturally tainted as well.

Alina thought to herself, but she also knew that the mastermind behind the scenes had kidnapped her and wouldn't just invite her over as a guest without doing anything.

The mouse and the electronic speaker are probably just a smokescreen.

However, given her current weakened appearance, it's quite a cautious move for the person behind the scenes to resort to such a smokescreen.

Alina, who was ready to unleash her full power at any moment, wasn't worried about her life at all, and had time to daydream.

So, in the eyes of the only two spectators in the room, Alina was either terrified or heartbroken after hearing his cold and cruel reality.

Appreciation flickered in the cruel rat's eyes; heartbreak.

Weakness is the original sin!

Just as the invisible spiritual force was about to cut Alina's arm, a silver light, like a fireball, smashed open the door with a "bang" and instantly sent the rat flying.
