Night looked at him with some worry.
Lin Nai shook her head without saying anything. After a while, she turned to her and asked, "The network signal in the human realm has been restored. Have you been able to contact your second aunt?"
At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in Ye Wan'er's eyes, and she shook her head: "No... I don't know what's going on either. We can't contact the Black Angel dimension at all."
“Is that so…” Lin Nai murmured to herself.
Hua Lingze walked over and said, "Don't worry so much, I think there shouldn't be any problems with breaking the ice."
Linna looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Hua Lingze shrugged: "Wasn't it her who gave us our secondary brain chips before?"
Nightfall's eyes lit up: "By the way, you've met your second aunt, didn't she say anything to you back then?"
“No,” Hua Lingze said. “After she told us how to use the chip, she left in a hurry, as if she had something to do. I wanted to ask her how we would contact her after we successfully installed the sub-brain chip and broke free from the control of the evil god, but she shook her head and said that you probably wouldn’t be able to contact me anyway.”
Linna pondered for a moment: "So, she went to somewhere on her own initiative."
Hua Lingze: "I think so."
Hearing this, Ye'er breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Knock knock knock," came the knocking sound from outside the house.
Tong Yi went to open the door, and standing outside was Di Yunlie.
"Captain Di." Tong Yi nodded politely.
Di Yunlie walked in with a smile: "Everyone, how was your rest?"
Meng Feifei tilted her head and asked curiously, "Captain Di, you're back to normal now?"
Di Yunlie scratched his head: "This... cough cough, don't say it, it's embarrassing. I never thought that one day I would be controlled by a demon. I'm sorry about what happened before."
"I'm really sorry," the monkey nodded earnestly. "We almost got caught by you several times."
Di Yunlie: "......"
Meng Feifei added, "That's right. Since you want to express your apology, treating us to a big meal isn't too much to ask, is it?"
Di Yunlie: "......"
Truman then asked, "Captain Di, what brings you here?"
"Oh, nothing else." Di Yunlie looked at Lin Nai: "Lin Nai, Elder Ji is looking for you. He said he has something to tell you."
Lin Nai narrowed his eyes.
"I see."
"Okay, then I'll be going now." Di Yunlie forced a smile and turned to leave.
"Captain Di," Fang Wu asked at this moment, "How are Iron Shield, Instructor Cat King, and the others...?"
Di Yunlie gave a bitter and helpless look and slowly shook his head: "Dead. Buried underground along with the Demon Tree."
"..." Everyone fell silent.
Di Yunlie left.
Looking out at the city skyline from the window, Mu Xun said calmly, "Although the city has been restored, the dead cannot be brought back to life."
“Yes,” Truman said slowly. “We should have known when we first entered Dark Moon that the fate of most superhuman warriors was like that of Iron Shield and Elvis.”
"..." Once again, everyone fell silent.
Linnaeus said, "I'm going to see Elder Ji, and while I'm at it, I'll see if I have a chance to meet that leader and see who she really is."
Night immediately said, "Shall I go with you?"
"No need," Linna said. "I can go by myself."
......
Linnaeus went downstairs and strolled along the main street of the capital.
The streets were bustling with vehicles again.
Many vendors are renovating their shops and preparing to reopen.
Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and red paper, just like during the New Year. It was said that people were celebrating the fact that they had finally defeated the demons and reclaimed the human plane.
On the large screen of the roadside department store, a video of silence for the superhumans who sacrificed their lives in this battle was played simultaneously with the host's speech.
Everything seems to be returning to order in an orderly manner.
Lin Nai calmly watched all of this, and suddenly remembered when he had just returned from the Void World and entered the City of Mountains and Seas.
At that time, the city was just like it is now, seemingly peaceful on the surface, until nightfall when its true nature of being controlled by demons was revealed.
But this time, the demon has truly left.
But now, what has truly taken control of this dimension?
Is it a person?
Or...did it turn into something else?
Linna remained silent for a long time before slowly exhaling.
He pushed off with both legs and leaped into the air with a "thud," soaring onto a tall building, and then moved at an extremely fast speed between several tall buildings.
Half an hour later.
Linna returned to the familiar Darkmoon Base.
He was more familiar with this place than the capital city. He had trained and lived here for a long time, and every blade of grass and every tree seemed so dear to him.
Following her memory, Lin Nai quickly found Professor Ji's office.
He knocked on the door.
"Please come in," Old Ji's voice rang out from inside the house.
Lin Nai pushed open the door and went inside.
The familiar office.
Old Ji was sitting alone behind his desk. Although three years had passed, his kind and gentle face seemed unchanged. He was holding a pen and reviewing some documents under the desk lamp.
While writing a line break, Old Ji raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Nai: "Oh, you've arrived. Please sit down. I'll entertain you after I finish writing this."
"..." Lin Nai paused for a moment, then sat down on the sofa in the office.
"Soul skill—Grey Eyes!"
Linnaeus's pupils gradually turned silver-gray as he stared at Elder Ji's soul.
Ji Lao's soul appeared normal, and there seemed to be no sign of possession.
But since that's the case...
"What, you don't trust me? Are you afraid that I'll end up like Di Yunlie and the others, controlled by the evil god? You used the Gray Eye on me the moment I walked in?"
Old Ji's voice rang out; he had arrived beside Lin Nai without her noticing.
Lin Nai glanced at him. Old Ji sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Nai, washed the tea set and teacups, and boiled water.
Lin Nai said calmly, "After all, I've learned my lesson once, so naturally I have to be more careful."
