An hour later, Linnaeus and Sherry met at a coffee shop in the capital.
"Lord Linnaeus, these are some snacks for you."
The waitress, her cheeks slightly flushed, placed a dessert and coffee beside Linnaeus.
As an apostle of the White Death, Linnaeus was already a celebrity.
Furthermore, after the battle to drive out the demons ended, Linnaeus's reputation grew even more.
Externally, they're the rebels... oh no, now they're the government.
The official news reports attributed much of the credit to Linnaeus.
After all, it was he who fought against Su Yibai before the rebels arrived in the capital.
He was the one who caused a ruckus at the Darkmoon Base and stole the undead bodies of the twelve gods.
"Thank you." Lin Nai didn't stand on ceremony. She looked around the interior of the cafe and saw that half of it was still under renovation, since the capital had only been rebuilt recently.
"It's recovered really quickly, just like it was three years ago."
"Yes, it was all rebuilt for us by the Grand Commander using his divine power."
"Chief" refers to Li Mengyu. The waitress said with admiration, "This place had actually collapsed, but the Chief just used a little divine power and it was completely restored to its original state."
Lin Nai asked in confusion, "Since it has already been restored to its original state, why are you still renovating?"
Waitress: "I guess the boss wants a fresh start..."
"By the way, Lady Linna, could you please sign your autograph?"
"Can."
After Linnaeus signed his name for the waitress, she left happily.
Shirley sat across from him: "You're quite popular here."
"What do you want from me?" Linna put a piece of pastry into her mouth with her fork. "You said on the phone that you discovered something important?"
Shirley didn't waste any words and nodded: "Do you remember why I told you I came to the capital?"
"Looking for an old friend?" Linnaeus suddenly remembered. "Have you found her now?"
"No, she... is dead. She died three years ago during the Demon Invasion War."
"...My condolences." Linnaeus paused for a moment. "So, what you mean by 'discovery' is...?"
“You may not know this friend of mine, but you must know her surname,” Shirley said, emphasizing each word: “She is from the Li family.”
Linna raised an eyebrow.
The Li family members share the same surname as Li Mengyu...
Three years ago, the Li family, like Hua Lingze's Hua family, was one of the most powerful families in the capital.
Unfortunately, everything changed after the invasion of the Demonic Dimension.
“After my investigation, I discovered something astonishing.” Shirley said with a serious expression, “Three years ago, during the war of the demon invasion, a major upheaval suddenly occurred in the Li family. Overnight, everyone in the Li family died mysteriously, from the main family members to the servants, without exception.”
Lin Nai's pupils contracted sharply: "What?"
"At that time, due to the interdimensional war and the invasion of the demons, no one had time to manage what was happening in the Li family. It wasn't until I visited the old site of the Li family some time ago that I discovered some clues."
Sherry placed a printed document in front of Linnaeus.
“I discovered many unidentified magnetic fields and energy reactions at the former site of the Li family. I collected this data using the system and found that this energy is the energy of the ‘void’ attribute. There were no traces of battle at the scene, nor were there any traces of demonic pollution. Therefore, I concluded that the Li family members were definitely not killed by the demonic descendants in that interdimensional war.”
“Void attribute…” Lin Nai frowned.
There are no superhumans among humans who have mastered the properties of the void.
Except for Li Mengyu!
"You suspect that the deaths of the Li family members are related to Li Mengyu?" Lin Nai asked, staring into Shirley's eyes.
“It’s not a doubt, I believe it’s certain,” Shirley said seriously. “Otherwise, why would she be the only member of the Li family to survive? And the magnetic field energy left at the scene is exactly the same as her divine power energy?”
“…I understand.” Lin Nai narrowed her eyes slightly.
This Li Mengyu is indeed a big problem.
Whether this guy is even human is questionable.
"Thank you for the information." Lin Nai stood up and wiped his mouth. "Even if you hadn't provided this information, I would definitely have investigated Li Mengyu thoroughly."
"How are you going to investigate?" Shirley asked curiously. "She's in the capital now... or rather, in the human realm, where she's the most revered leader in people's eyes."
Linna thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to the demon plane."
Although he still hasn't fully figured out what Su Yibai's background is.
However, the magic power emanating from Su Yibai was clearly that of the demon race.
Lin Nai recalled what Su Yibai had said when he met Li Mengyu before.
These two people clearly know each other; perhaps they both know each other's background and understand each other's true nature!
"Go to the demon plane?" Sherry was taken aback. "But because of the dimensional turbulence, all the portals in the human plane have closed. How do you plan to get there?"
Lin Nai said coldly, "The dimensional tremor is just news from the official press. To put it bluntly, Li Mengyu wants the public to believe that this is the reason the space gate closed."
"You mean she lied to us?" Shirley asked, puzzled. "But the portals around the world are definitely closed, aren't they?"
Lin Nai: "She possesses the divine power of the God of the Void, and naturally has the ability to control space. Wouldn't it be easy for her to open and close a spatial gate?"
“That makes sense…” Shirley paused, “So what do you plan to do?”
Lin Nai squinted: "You forgot, we also have a spatial portal that she doesn't know about."
"Whether the dimensional oscillation caused the spatial gate to close or not, we'll know once we go there and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Shirley immediately remembered.
Oh, right...
That spatial portal located underground, in another dimension!
