Lu Ning walked in the fog for two thousand years. When he emerged, he found the world seemed to be sick.
The sun grew tentacles, the planets were covered in flesh and blood, the moon grew num...
Lu Ning calmly asked, "Do you know someone named Defoe?"
Upon hearing this, the woman was stunned, her eyes widening: "You...you know the master?"
"Yes."
The woman quickly said, "Please wait a moment!"
She then hurriedly ran into the room, and a moment later, footsteps were heard, and the three of them arrived at the door.
Besides the middle-aged woman from before, there were two other women, one older and one younger. The older one was around thirty years old, and the younger one was probably around ten years old.
The two looked at Lu Ning with anticipation in their eyes.
The little girl in the black dress immediately asked, "Uncle, do you know my dad? Where did he go? Why hasn't he come home for so long?"
The young woman smiled apologetically at Lu Ning: "I'm sorry, my daughter hasn't seen her father in a long time, so she misses him very much. Please come in and chat."
Lu Ning shook his head: "No need, we'll just pass on a message to Defoe, ask you a few questions, and then we'll leave."
The young woman paused, her eyes flickering, as if she had vaguely guessed something.
Her lips trembled slightly as she asked, "...What message do you want to convey? Where is Defoe?"
Lu Ning began, "He said he loves you all very much, he..."
Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, Song Sinian interjected, "He went to another base city and probably won't be back for a while. We ran into him on the road. He heard we were coming to Base City 121, so he asked us to come and let you know so you wouldn't worry."
The little girl pouted: "Bad daddy! He didn't even tell us!"
The young woman's eyes sparkled as she ruffled the little girl's hair and smiled, "When he comes back, how about we punish him by making him ride the big horse for our little darling?"
"Yes, yes!!"
The young woman looked up at Lu Ning and Song Sinian and smiled, "Thank you for spreading the news. Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Lu Ning asked, "When did you lose contact with him?"
Upon hearing this, the young woman's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She took a deep breath, forcing back the trembling in her voice, and said, "He hasn't contacted us for three years, and we don't know where he went."
Lu Ning nodded calmly and asked, "Did he do anything unusual before he left?"
The young woman thought for a moment, then said, "He seemed to have mentioned some kind of organization..."
