Ma Haoyu stroked his chin and took a small step forward with one foot. "Hiss, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult. After all, even I have never met Governor Yin's son."

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that! I didn't say I wouldn't agree."

After listening, Lin Xi walked back with a satisfied look on her face.

On Worry-Free Island, a group of young people stood out.

Especially the man carrying a long knife on his back.

A red Chinese knot hangs from the hilt of the long sword, with what appears to be a red gemstone dangling from the center, clearly indicating its high value.

However, this person's aura was so strong that some people who coveted the item didn't dare to rush forward to snatch it.

Lin Xi walked past quickly without looking at the crowd.

After returning home, she suddenly encountered a stranger who kept staring at her.

Even the waiter sensed something was wrong and stood in front of Lin Xi, looking at the man with a warning in his eyes.

No, this should be a mid-level zombie.

How strange?

With so many people coming and going on the street, why was he looking at me with such a strange gaze?

In fact, Lin Xi didn't sense any malice in that gaze.

The zombie moved.

The waiter made mumbled shouts in an attempt to stop him, but the zombie remained unmoved.

Lin Xi was also on high alert, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"Young master."

The sudden and unusual title caught Lin Xi off guard.

"What?"

The zombie in front of them bowed perfectly at a ninety-degree angle, which even made the waiter go numb.

What is this thing doing?

The mid-level zombie continued to approach, "Young master, I've seen your picture at the master's place."

Lin Xi sneered, "He doesn't even bother to think before he lies."

What photo? Her face is all fake.

The system had even confirmed with her that this person didn't exist in the world at all, and based on this single point of understanding, she was certain that this zombie had ill intentions.

"Don't come any closer, or I really will kill you."

The zombie was taken aback, clearly not expecting such a response.

However, Lin Xi turned her head and was stunned when she saw the face projected onto the glass of the building next to her.

When did her face turn back to normal?

The next second, the waiter rushed over and covered her face with both hands.

She stumbled unexpectedly.

Xiao Er was very flustered. He remembered that Lao San had said that she couldn't let others see her real appearance, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

Lin Xi struggled a few times, but Xiao Er's grip was too strong, and she couldn't break free. She couldn't help but shout angrily, "Let go, let me take my medicine!"

The waiter then let go.

Looking at Xiao Er, she sighed. Although she knew that Xiao Er was trying to protect her, she simply couldn't bear such protection.

It seems I'll have to find some time to properly teach him how to do things more gently.

The waiter stood to one side expectantly. Looking at him like this, Lin Xi couldn't help but regret whether she had spoken too loudly just now.

After taking the medicine, under the terrified gaze of another zombie, Lin Xi changed her expression and continued to look at the zombie.

She thought about what had just happened, wondering when she had changed back to normal.

Even when they said goodbye to Ma Haoyu, the group of people did not show any unusual behavior.

Therefore, we can conclude that by that point in time, her face had not changed much.

No one gave her any strange looks as she walked down the street, so it was very likely that this happened just a few minutes before she encountered the zombie.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi quickly looked up to see if there were any surveillance cameras nearby.

fine.

Next, there's only one person left who knows the truth.

Lin Xi lowered his head, pondering what he had said.

"What is your master's name?"

The zombie shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that many people call him Mr. Lin or Old Lin."

Upon hearing this surname, Lin Xi couldn't help but look up at him.

Was he talking about his own father?

"Go on to describe your owner's other characteristics."

"He can control zombies and humans. We were controlled at first, but gradually gained consciousness. There was also a female zombie, and the master seemed to like her very much."

He thought for a moment and continued, "The master is the most special to her."

This probably refers to her mother.

Lin Xi suddenly remembered that in that zombie building, her older sister had said that her father had brought four mid-level zombies with him.

However, after finding her father in the capital, she put the matter out of her mind.

Based on his description, there shouldn't be any problem.

Why are you here?

"Before entering the capital, our master said that we would be too big a target and difficult to escape, so he assigned us other tasks."

"What mission?"

"Looking for two young masters."

Lin Xi was taken aback.

"So, have you gotten any results?"

The zombie's face darkened. "The other two have already been hunted down by human superhumans. I was forced to escape into this place, so this mission has also been forced to stop."

"If you lie to me, the consequences will be severe." Lin Xi deliberately put on a fierce look.

The zombie lowered its head. "Apu wouldn't dare."

"Apu?"

Lin Xi extracted his memories and examined what he had just said.

If even one statement is incorrect, it means that the zombie has malicious intentions and can be eliminated directly.

If what he said is true, then this could be another good helper.

After checking, Lin Xi found that what he said was indeed true.

But just to be on the safe side, Lin Xi even checked his later memories.

Retracting her mental energy, Lin Xi said to him, "Let's go up and talk."

Apu nodded.

"Judging from your memory, it seems you've lived here for quite some time."

"That's right."

"Why didn't you go back to find my dad back then?"

Apu said, "My master said before that it was best not to go back to him."

He paused, then added, "Because the master said before that he was going to do something very dangerous."

It turns out that her father knew the capital was dangerous before he went there.

But for that sliver of hope of saving his mother, he went without hesitation.

“I’ve only been here a short time. My father, the master you mentioned, was kidnapped and taken away by others while he was in the capital.”

“I found a clue before that the person who kidnapped him had been here before, so I guess my dad is very likely on Worry-Free Island now.”

Apu's expression was grave as he listened intently. "Is the master here?"

“I’m not sure either. Even if he were here, he would probably be under house arrest, making a rescue operation very difficult.”

Apu asked seriously, "Young master, is there anything I can do for you?"
