Night fell.
Darkness enveloped the capital.
Purple mist filled the sky above the city.
The world became desolate, profound, and lifeless...
Mu Xun, Chu Men, and the others found a hotel and rented a suite. The eleven of them gathered in the living room.
"It's already evening." Fang Wu looked at the darkness outside the window with some worry: "The power of the evil god has enveloped the capital, and the dark clones should have all come out... Are Master and the others really alright?"
Tong Yi said, "I hope the captain can find a safe indoor place. If he stays outdoors, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."
"Ouch..."
Meng Feifei tore off a large piece of beef leg meat with one bite, and said indistinctly while chewing, "Even the barrier can't stop Brother Nai, so what's the fall of night? Don't worry about it... Besides, Brother Nai has already experienced the fall of night once when he was in Shanhai City. He knows the danger of the fall of night and will definitely find a way to avoid it. With his brains, we don't need to worry about him at all."
“But this is different.” Fang Wu frowned, saying worriedly, “Out in the forest, even facing so many Dark Moons, Master was able to escape because his strength is now far beyond ours… But the dark clones created by the evil god’s power can replicate the original’s strength. No matter how strong Master becomes, the dark clones will replicate his strength, and they will also have the original’s evil intent added… What if Master is targeted by his own dark clone…”
"No, actually there is a limit to the power of replication." Truman pushed up his glasses and said slowly, "The Dark Clone is, after all, a product created by the Evil God. No matter how powerful the Evil God is, he cannot create an existence more powerful than himself."
"But Linna can't possibly become stronger than the evil god all of a sudden, can he?" Hua Yingwen gave a wry smile. "After all, we've witnessed firsthand how terrifying that evil god was..."
"..." Everyone fell silent.
"Actually, I also think there's no need to worry about these things at all." The monkey yawned, seemingly a little sleepy, and said softly, "The boss will definitely have a solution."
“That’s right.” The white beast said solemnly, “And at least for now, the rest of us have broken free from the evil god’s control. If the boss is in any danger, we can come to his aid at any time.”
Meng Feifei raised her hand in agreement: "Exactly!"
Fang Wu sighed, thinking that Meng Feifei was truly an optimist.
At this moment, Yu Yuanyuan turned her head to look at Fang Wu, sat down next to him with a smile, looked at him without saying a word, and sat very close to him.
Fang Wu felt a little uncomfortable: "You... Yuanyuan, there's still plenty of room over there, why are you sitting so close?"
"Because I want to be closer to my hero~" Yu Yuanyuan smiled and snuggled up to him, even linking her arm with Fang Wu's and whispering in his ear.
"!" Fang Wu shuddered, goosebumps rising on his skin, and stammered, "Wh...what hero?"
"Still not admitting it?" Yu Yuanyuan stared at him intently, pouting, "I heard it all! You kept calling my name while you were under the illusion!"
Fang Wu: "No, no, you must have misheard..."
Yu Yuanyuan: "I clearly heard it!"
Fang Wu: "No, no..."
"Hmph, it's no use denying it." Yu Yuanyuan pouted. "Chu Men and Brother Hua Lingze heard it too, didn't they?"
"Huh?..." Fang Wu was shocked, his cheeks burning as he looked at Chu Men.
Truman smiled and gave him a playful look.
Fang Wu quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum: "That was me talking nonsense after I was under an illusion spell, it doesn't count..."
Yu Yuanyuan said angrily, "How can you be like this? What's wrong with admitting you like someone?"
Fang Wu stammered, "I...I..."
Everyone was amused by the two couples.
Hua Lingze, however, sat on the sofa to the side, still thinking about what had just happened.
Mu Xun turned his gaze to him: "Ever since we entered the city, you've been distracted. What have you been thinking about?"
"I'm thinking..." Hua Lingze pondered, "Was the barrier wall really destroyed by our combined efforts?"
"?"
Upon hearing this, the others also turned their heads.
Hua Yingwen blinked and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
......
Zhao Yulong, Di Yunlie, and the others stayed at another hotel.
"Old Zhou's orders have been issued. We are to continue the search in the capital city at dawn tomorrow."
Di Yunlie said, "It has now been confirmed that Lin Nai, Ye Wan'er and the others have entered the city. If Lin Nai and the others' dark clones do not appear at night, they must have found an indoor shelter."
"It's strange," Elvis said, puzzled. "Why do we only see Linnaeus? Where did that night of the Black Angels go?"
Blood Serpent sat on the sofa with his legs crossed: "I don't know, maybe he's hiding."
Di Yunlie said, "According to intelligence, Er should still be injured that night. Lin Nai probably let her avoid battle and recuperate for that reason."
Zhao Yulong sat silently to the side, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, his thoughts a mystery.
"Zhao Yulong?" Di Yunlie asked curiously, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"That's not right!" Zhao Yulong's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "The barrier wall outside the city wasn't actually destroyed at all!"
"???" Everyone was shocked.
Di Yunlie frowned: "You said the barrier wall wasn't destroyed? What do you mean?"
Elvis asked in confusion, "But we clearly saw a large hole broken in the barrier wall."
Zhao Yulong said confidently, "That's just our imagination!"
"An illusion?" Di Yunlie frowned. "Could it be... that we were under an illusion? You mean... we weren't actually fully awake from the red mist illusion at the time?"
“That’s impossible.” Blood Serpent said seriously, “I’m good at illusions. I used my abilities to check at the time. We had already broken free from the illusion, and our mental state was perfectly normal.”
“No,” Zhao Yulong said seriously, “I think that shouldn’t be an illusion…”
......
"You're saying that wasn't an illusion?" Meng Feifei asked doubtfully. "Old Hua, you keep saying that the barrier wall wasn't destroyed at the time, and then you say that we weren't under an illusion at the time... So why did we have the illusion that the barrier was broken open?"
“That’s definitely not an illusion.” Hua Lingze grinned, a playful look on his face, and said, “Because… it’s magic!”
