As Chu Yao rushed to Xingqi Hotel, Xiaohuo sent her information from the Cat's Eye investigation:
"Sister Xiaoye, there have indeed been quite a few disappearances in the New City recently, spread across various districts. The victims are both men and women, of varying ages. The only thing they have in common is that most of the disappearances occurred at night."
Attached to the file was a list of victims and case progress documents obtained by Maoyan. Chu Yao was multitasking, his mind focused on the road while his eyes glanced at the screen.
Thirteen cases occurred within a month, and the methods were exactly the same. They all disappeared suddenly somewhere, just like Qiao Si.
The Law Enforcement Bureau doesn't seem to pay much attention to such incidents. Perhaps in their eyes, there are too many similar cases, and the number of people who disappear every month is not as many as the number of people who die at the hands of the Zerg.
Still can't count on them too much...
Chu Yao had not finished reading the document when she arrived at the gate of Xingqi Hotel.
The hotel has been temporarily closed under Haruki's pressure. Chu Yao saw people wearing Haruki's uniform patrolling around.
Chu Yao greeted Li Lufang remotely and was allowed to pass. As soon as he pushed the door open, he realized something was wrong.
The powerful spiritual sense of the Golden Core Realm swept through the hotel inside and outside.
She found traces of residual magic power, indicating that a monk had been here before!
Chu Yao narrowed her eyes.
If this is a case involving psychics, it is not something that mortals can interfere with.
A monk intervened...was it a coincidence? Where did this monk come from?
The first thing that came to her mind was the mysterious Blood Alliance. Ever since she solved the problem with Liu Yun and Wawa, she had never dealt with this organization again.
Chu Yao searched the hotel inside and out carefully again. The remaining magical power came to an abrupt end within the hotel and could no longer be tracked.
There was no need to check the surveillance cameras at this point. If it was truly the monks' doing, the surveillance cameras would be useless.
Even a small cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining has many ways to avoid the monitoring of surveillance cameras.
As expected, what she could think of, the people in Qingshu Company could naturally think of as well. They had already watched the video of the day Qiao Si disappeared and found nothing.
Now the only clue left is this inexplicable fluctuation of magic power... Is there any way to expand the scope of the search?
A light bulb went off in Chu Yao's head, and she thought of someone.
She took out her cell phone and started looking through her address book.
"Mr. Shen, can you lend me your psychic energy meter?"
——
Shen Yu did not come in person, it was his deputy Xu Xinxin who brought the measuring instrument.
Not only did she bring instruments, she also brought a group of people, who were the special team that had searched for the princess who had spent the night in Tianhai City.
What surprised Chu Yao was that these people were not dressed as neatly as before. Many of them were even wearing yellow and blue - delivery man uniforms.
Even Xu Xinxin had a yellow safety helmet on her head...
As for the reason, there is a long story...
Gangqiong Company took over Lingyuan Star, and Yali Company and many contact points of the Tianren Alliance were naturally liquidated. Xu Xinxin and others were lucky to be alive, but this group of former alliance civil servants also lost their jobs and their source of income... In order to survive, they started delivering takeout.
"Can you draw a search area? Let's agree on a price first. 5,000 per hundred meters, no bargaining!"
Xu Xinxin held a small notebook and held up her glasses while bargaining with Chu Yao.
"Shen Yu and I are allies, do we still need to spend money?" Chu Yao is not short of this little money.
"I don't really want to mention him." Xu Xinxin said this with gritted teeth.
Shen Yu! It's all Shen Yu's fault!
Oh my god! I shouldn't have followed Chen Yu to this remote and desolate place, Konghai Lingyuan! If I hadn't come to Lingyuan, I wouldn't have caught up with the war between Gangqiong and Yali, and I wouldn't have ended up like this, delivering food in this sad place!
The more Xu Xinxin thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat someone.
Chu Yao actually wanted to laugh. Finally, someone joined her in hating Chen Yu.
"Okay, five thousand is five thousand. Let's search the area within a five-hundred-meter radius of the hotel."
Fortunately, although these people have been delivering food, they have not forgotten their skills and began searching under the command of Xu Xinxin.
This was naturally noticed by the people at Qingshu Company, but since they knew that the person was brought by President Chu from Maowei, they did not ask any more questions.
While these people were searching, Chu Yao stood at the door of the hotel and chatted with Xu Xinxin.
"So Shen Yu is not with you now?"
"No. This guy is so mysterious all the time. I don't know what he's doing."
Xu Xinxin sighed. "Well, some things can't be entirely blamed on this guy. At least we can find a job thanks to him. These days are so difficult, with insect plagues and wars... I really want to go home!"
"Your homes are all on the Tianren Star in Longdi, right? What kind of planet is that?"
"It's definitely ten times better than Lingyuan. No, a hundred times better!"
When talking about her home, Xu Xinxin's eyes seemed to light up: "Ubiquitous projection touch screens and the Internet, comprehensive automated services, floating gardens, flying wings, talking ice cream..."
Um, isn't talking ice cream a little weird? Is it actually edible?
Xu Xinxin seemed a little neurotic when she spoke. I don’t know if it was because she missed her hometown too much or because she was stimulated by the insect plague.
"...At night, if you look up at the sky facing the moon, you'll see many colorful shooting stars. They're so beautiful! Those are the star trains between the planets..."
The moon.
How long has it been since I last saw the moon?
Lingyuan Star has no moon.
As Xu Xinxin chattered on and on, Chu Yao's mind flashed back to her past in Feng Yuan.
"This damn Steel Dome Company, you can fight them if you want, but why don't you continue with Star Track? You just kill and don't bury them, leaving behind such a mess. If you fix Star Track sooner, I can go home sooner. Even if the ticket is a little more expensive, there's always something to look forward to..."
As Xu Xinxin spoke, her eyes grew dim. This chaos had affected the lives of many people.
Chu Yao patted her shoulder: "It will be fine."
Will it get better? Chu Yao didn't know, but she believed that everything depended on human effort.
"It's over, this fucking world, destroy it quickly. Why didn't that nuclear bomb hit my head?"
Chu Yao smiled helplessly. She looked at Xu Xinxin's sad expression and suddenly thought of something.
"How much can you earn delivering food in a month?"
"Four thousand yuan is the maximum I can make. Business isn't going well right now, so not many people are placing orders... so I have to find another part-time job."
"Do you want to work at Maowei Company?"
