Chapter 85 Disappearance
◎All the bosses disappeared◎
Although Qin Shu felt that everyone was a little weird today, it was indeed time for her to return to her body. She didn't bother asking any more questions, and simply called out to the three-headed dog of hell before heading towards the cave.
Although she could float over by herself, her speed was far inferior to the lightning speed of the three-headed hound of hell when it was running wild. It was one of the few ways for her to relax in the past month.
“Woof woof woof!”
But this time, before reaching the cave, the hellhound Xiao Ke suddenly barked urgently, and his speed increased even more.
The last time Xiao Ke screamed so fiercely and quickly was when Qin Shu came down from the top floor where the invisible plane was parked.
"Xiao Ke, what's wrong?" Qin Shu could clearly feel that the three-headed hound of hell was now very anxious and restless, and it did not run towards the cave at all, but turned in another direction and ran wildly.
"Woof!" The three-headed hellhound suddenly stopped and barked anxiously at the sky.
At the same time, Qin Shu felt a gust of wind, but it was not a natural wind.
Rather, it was something passing overhead, swirling around and stirring up the wind, which stirred the dry grass around him and made a constant rustling sound.
Qin Shu suddenly raised her head, but she saw nothing except the blue sky and white clouds.
There is nothing unusual.
But the three-headed dog of hell howled even more fiercely at the sky, and from time to time it let out a low growl of threat, and kept jumping up and down, as if it wanted to jump to a higher place.
Although Qin Shu didn't understand what the three-headed hellhound said, its abnormal behavior made Qin Shu understand almost immediately. Even if she couldn't see it, there was definitely something above their heads!
No matter what it was, Qin Shu had a feeling that she had to keep it.
So she didn't hesitate at all and directly started recruiting heroes. Even though the system was still in the upgrade period and there might be some bugs, she couldn't care less now.
I don’t know why this second upgrade hasn’t been completed even after a month!
But the wind appeared quickly and disappeared even faster.
Before Qin Shu’s recruitment advertisement could even be posted, the wind disappeared.
Xiao Ke's ears drooped instantly, and then he made a "wu" sound.
Qin Shu frowned, then lowered her head and asked the three-headed dog of hell, "Did it disappear?"
Xiao Ke nodded.
Qin Shu frowned even more tightly: "Let's go to the cave first."
"Ao." Upon hearing this, the three-headed hellhound hurriedly ran towards the cave.
"Why not at this time..." Qin Shu raised her hand and glanced at her empty wrist. For the past month, she'd been in spirit form most of the time, so she hadn't worn a terminal. Lu Yishen usually accompanied her when she went to the cave, so she'd developed the habit of carrying nothing. As a result, she couldn't contact Xu Wen and the others.
Fortunately, the cave was not far away, and Xiao Ke quickly brought Qin Shu there.
It's just that Meng Po, Niu Tou Ma Mian and others who were originally guarding Qin Shu's body in the cave are not in the cave anymore. The most important thing is -
Her body disappeared too!
Was it hidden or moved away by Meng Po and the others?
For some reason, Qin Shu suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart.
"Xiao Ke, can you sense where Meng Po and the others are?"
The three heads of the hellhound faced different directions, as if confirming something, and soon it shook its head.
How could that be?
Meng Po and her companions would never move around at will, let alone carry her body around. If something unexpected happened, there would be no signs of fighting in the cave. With such a clean scene, it would be impossible unless someone had the ability to subdue Meng Po, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Face and the remaining demons in an instant.
Qin Shu frowned suddenly and was about to say something, but at this moment, the hellhound suddenly howled in fear. Before it could even finish howling, the hellhound suddenly disappeared, and Qin Shu fell straight down.
Although she was in a soul state and would not fall, Qin Shu was still shocked when this happened suddenly.
"Xiao Ke?" Qin Shu didn't even have time to adjust her posture before she immediately called out to the three-headed dog of hell, but unfortunately there was no response.
Qin Shu tried to open her own Heroic Spirit Recruitment System to check, but she found that she couldn't find the system!!!
This realization made Qin Shu subconsciously freeze in place.
She could no longer remember how long this Heroic Spirit Recruitment System had been with her. She only remembered that every time she quickly traveled through the world and every time she came back to the real world, even when her achievement points were so low that she could not use it, the Heroic Spirit Recruitment System was still bound to her. As long as she thought about it, she could feel its existence.
But now, she couldn't feel the existence of the system at all.
This has never happened before.
After standing there in a daze for a few minutes, Qin Shu finally seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly turned around and floated quickly towards the research base.
Faster, faster!
Qin Shu didn't even dare to imagine whether something unexpected had happened at the research base. She didn't have time to think about it. She just wanted to get there faster and faster.
Finally, she could see the gate of the research base in the distance, but the demon that usually guarded there was nowhere to be seen.
That ominous premonition came to her mind again, and Qin Shu forced herself to float faster.
But after she entered the research base, she found that the base was in chaos. Yun Shangjun and Ma Liang, who had just been with Xu Wen, were nowhere to be seen. The ghosts and demons that often wandered around the base were also nowhere to be found.
The expression on Xu Wen's face was more solemn than ever before. He was talking to the staff around him with a serious face. Even though Qin Shu couldn't hear clearly what he was saying due to the distance, she could still see the anxiety and eagerness in them.
Suddenly, Xu Wen seemed to sense something, turned his head sharply, and met Qin Shu's eyes.
Qin Shu saw this and quickly floated over: "What happened?"
Xu Wen's eyes widened in surprise. "That's what we wanted to ask. All of a sudden, all those heroic spirits disappeared. We thought you did something, but now it seems you don't know either."
"Well, something went wrong. I can't feel the system anymore."
"What!!!"
Qin Shu briefly recounted what had happened when she went to look for her body.
"Your body is missing now!" After hearing this, Xu Wen frowned suddenly.
This is not a good thing!
"Um."
"I remember Mr. Hei Wuchang said back on Planet A9011 that with our physical conditions, five days away from our bodies is the limit." Xu Wen frowned deeply as he said this. "In other words, if we can't find your body within five days, you... will die."
“…” Qin Shu obviously also knew this situation.
But they just don't have any idea at the moment.
All this happened too suddenly, without any warning. It happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard and unable to react quickly. What they lacked most was time.
Just when the two were silent, Lu Yishen, who had not appeared for a long time, finally returned here quickly.
"What happened?" Lu Yishen was a smart man. As soon as he saw the current situation of the base, he knew that something unexpected must have happened.
Xu Wen quickly repeated everything Qin Shu had just said, and then he asked, "You used to be a fast traveler too. Do you know what's going on in this situation?"
Lu Yishen was silent for two seconds before he spoke: "Since Xiaoshu didn't unbind the system herself, there is only one possibility - the system was not unbinded, but taken away."
"Take it away?" Qin Shu, who was thinking, immediately raised her head after hearing this.
"Well, I've heard the system mention before that besides using achievement points to level up, there's another way to quickly level up, which is to steal other people's systems and use them to level up. However, I don't know the specific method, and the system hasn't explained it in detail."
"...The system mentioned it?" Qin Shu was a little confused when she heard this, because her system had never mentioned these things, and this guy didn't say anything at all. She even found out about the upgrade only when she checked the system panel.
Although Qin Shu only said four words, Lu Yishen understood the core of the problem in an instant.
"Once you upgrade the system to a certain level, it will become more and more intelligent and will communicate with the host."
Xu Wen looked at Lu Yishen in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Lu Yishen could be so sensitive to capture Qin Shu's true inner thoughts.
"Hmm." Qin Shu was also a little surprised, but none of this mattered now. What mattered was what had already happened. "So it was another traveler who took my system away?"
Lu Yishen nodded: "It's possible. Since there is a stealth aircraft here, it's not surprising that there is a second one in the world, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wen has contacted the Arkansas officials to check entry and exit records and try to capture the movement trajectory of the stealth aircraft.
But it is obvious that this will be a futile effort. After all, no one has caught Jeffrey in the interstellar space for so many years because no one can grasp the movements of the stealth aircraft. If the other party also invades and leaves in this way, or directly uses system means, with their current means and technology, they will not be able to capture any trace at all.
Sure enough, Xu Wen, who soon received a reply from Akan Star, slowly shook his head at Qin Shu.
At this moment, Lu Yishen suddenly said, "Xiaoshu, your figure seems to have faded a little."
Qin Shu subconsciously raised her hands and looked at them, and sure enough, her hands became more transparent.
She was originally in a soul state, and the reason she could be seen by others was because Lord Wuchang helped her solidify her body. Now that both of the Wuchangs have disappeared, the magic that was acting on her will naturally disappear with time.
