"Reporting to Lord Yan, we didn't see this girl in the women's restroom last night."
"Report, there's no men's...men's restroom either."
Yan Chiyu glanced around briefly, his voice deep and magnetic: "Does anyone know how to use ancient methods to capture Shi Yimeng in order to absorb her life essence?"
"How could that be, Lord Yan? We eat incense and cigarette smoke now, we don't eat human essence anymore. Humans these days are covered in all sorts of bacteria, and the air quality is bad, it's too disgusting to eat, no way!"
After asking around without getting any useful information, Yan Chiyu waved his hand, dismissing everyone.
A male ghost took two steps and then suddenly turned back. "Lord Yan, I may have seen something last night."
The male ghost wore glasses and looked very refined, with a "Good luck on the college entrance exam" sign tied to his forehead.
The boy raised an eyebrow slightly: "Speak."
"I... I was attending their class," the male ghost whispered.
"That Shi..." The male ghost was about to begin his story when he suddenly stopped, unable to recall the girl's name.
Yan Chiyu reminded her: "Shi Yimeng."
"Oh, Shi Yimeng, yes, that's right. Last night I was going to the men's restroom and when I passed by, I vaguely saw a red light flash by, and then Shi Yimeng disappeared. I thought it was some kind of red light, so I didn't pay attention."
"What exactly is the location?" the boy pondered.
The male ghost turned around and pointed to where the head teacher was standing, "There."
Yan Chiyu walked over, his expression indifferent: "Please make way."
Dean of Students: "..."
Yang Lianhai consciously pulled the slightly angry head of teaching aside.
Kids these days are so unlovable. Can't they speak a little more politely and gently?
The boy took out a blank piece of yellow paper, quickly drew a complex symbol on it with his index finger that no one could understand, and then threw the completed talisman into the spot where the headmaster had just been standing.
A few breaths later, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into ashes. Just as it was about to hit the ground, the ashes vanished without a trace.
The talisman was a physical object, so everyone could see it, and witness its self-destruction through combustion. They all stared wide-eyed in astonishment. What kind of magic was this?
Unlike what they saw with their own eyes, Wu Yue also saw a faint red light being drawn out by the runes on the talisman, which was then caught in Yan Chiyu's palm and kept emitting black gas.
Long, slender, pale fingers gently caressed the black energy between them, causing it to dissipate. The young man looked up at Wu Yue, "It's a magic array."
"A magic array?" Wu Yue was clearly surprised. While Yan Chiyu was asking, she was also observing the surroundings. Apart from a few strange auras, she didn't see anything else.
Yan Chiyu frowned slightly: "It's not here, but a huge magic array set up somewhere in the capital. The first missing person was a middle-aged woman living alone. There were no witnesses at the time, so everyone was guessing that she had gone out. In fact, she disappeared at home, and the same time as Shi Yimeng disappeared was 9:30 pm. The magic array does not necessarily have to be set up under your feet to be effective."
Wu Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Is it something like a black hole? Did the magic array suck them in?"
"No, the magic circle is just a medium; you can think of it as a teleportation array. Tomorrow night, more people will disappear."
"So it's not targeting people, but rather that anyone who touches that spot will disappear?"
"It's hard to say."
Yan Chiyu shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I need to find the location to set up the formation first."
