In fact, Fran was very confused about what the pendant was, but she finally obediently let Lin Qingliu wear it around her neck.
"Don't worry, it will be fine soon. It may hurt a little."
Lin Qingliu forcibly held down Fran, who was in a hurry to go out to fight in the wild, and mobilized the blood that remained in her body.
The dormant blood was reawakened, and under Lin Qingliu's precise manipulation, it cut a small wound on Fran's neck.
Out of trust and loyalty, Fran, who was full of doubts, chose not to ask her questions, and allowed Lin Qingliu to stuff a small part of the pendant under her skin.
Then, Lin Qingliu continued to manipulate the part of his blood that remained in Fran's body, completed the initial healing of the wound, and wrapped it around the component, beginning to imitate some of the human's vital signs, thereby deceiving the component.
After doing all this, Lin Qingliu gently stroked the kitten's back.
"Okay, this time you need to run more in the wild, don't stay in one place for too long, and pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people around~
"Also, change it into something more solid, otherwise the little gift I give you might fall out."
"Flan knows, but I feel like this thing will only affect my performance~"
"What are you talking about? How can you deny a gift sent by your master himself? You need to learn to discover the mystery."
Lin Qingliu said a few perfunctory words, patted the cat's head twice, and signaled that Fran could leave.
The kitten adjusted itself to the slightly uncomfortable feeling in its neck, then jumped out of the window to start a new round of hunting.
Looking at the empty windowsill, Lin Qingliu sighed that his cat was quite ambitious, and walked forward to close the window.
He placed the last few inseparable parts of the ring element taken out of Luke's body, namely the energy, remote control and vital signs monitoring components, on Fran's body.
At the same time, using the little setup he had left, he began trying to deceive the vital signs monitoring part.
In this way, even if Luke's loss of contact is confirmed, the Council will be able to locate the location of the component, but will continue to fail due to Fran's identity and actions.
They will not directly classify Luke as missing, but may just think that he is carrying out some mission.
By the time they discovered and began chasing her, Fran had already walked around Hope City several times.
In this process, the blockade by the congressman's subordinates may bring certain help to Fran's energy level promotion, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of killing two birds with one stone, Lin Qingliu, who was feeling smug about his plan, suddenly thought of another thing:
It seems that the second generation of the One-Armed Swordsman is still imprisoned in a cage a few kilometers away.
Can't let the hooked fish escape.

"Have you made contact?"
"No, no signal. It shows that the target cannot be connected."
In a rental house, a man was staring at a telescope in front of him, while another man was fiddling with a standard communicator in his hand.
"Captain, what's going on? It's been four or five days, and there's still no news."
"You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe he is carrying out some tasks alone."
"But isn't his mission to catch the Mind Flayer?"
"That's our mission. The captain is the new generation of the Holy Shield. How can he only do this? I guess there are other important tasks that the senator has given to the captain alone."
"You have a point, but we have been monitoring this for several days, and the Mind Flayer has not come out...
"If the frequency of the crime is the same as last time, which was once every six days, there might be another attack tonight or tomorrow."
"Come on, I think the Mind Flayer decided to take action last time because of the broadcast of the exploration team's return. Just think about it, we were all excited after listening to the broadcast. Who would care about the target of surveillance?"
The other man nodded upon hearing this:
"That's true. Then let's just do our job and continue with our surveillance mission."
The two of them were talking to each other, but their eyes were fixed on the distance without relaxing at all.
On the other side, in the office of Luke's deputy captain, the troubled young man was also in a dilemma.
Unlike the front-line staff below, as the deputy captain, he has more channels to contact Luke, and he also needs to understand certain regulations in more detail.
There has been no news for more than four days. This is absolutely unreasonable.
After much thought, he finally made up his mind.
Although she might lose her job, Congresswoman Nia must be made aware of this.
What if the captain is really missing? What if?
A few hours later, the deputy captain, who had passed numerous screenings, finally met Nia in a dark room in the spire.
This was his second time in the Spire, and his first time facing a councillor.
The windowless room was dark, with the only source of light being above his head.
In the shadow opposite, there was a figure with an unclear face and legs crossed, staring at him through the darkness.
The surrounding walls seem to be made of metal, and just standing here makes people feel a huge pressure.
As if under the spotlight, the deputy captain suppressed his anxiety and said to the congressman in front of him:
"Dear Senator, Captain Luke has not been heard from since his last phone call with us five nights ago. His whereabouts have not been disclosed..."
After briefly recounting what had happened in the past few days, the deputy captain lowered his head as if ready to accept punishment.
He had already prepared himself mentally. If the captain really went to carry out some secret mission, then his behavior of looking for trouble would be considered to have put an end to his future in advance.
After all, every minute and every second of a congressman's time is precious and must not be wasted on a small person like himself.
Otherwise, no one can bear the wrath of a councillor, except another councillor.
"Yes, I understand."
A reassuring female voice came from the shadows, and she seemed to shift in the darkness.
"Did Luke tell you anything before he left?"
"some!"
The deputy captain was well prepared. He took out the communicator from his pocket and played the recording of the last call to Nia.
"Did you do that?"
Nia couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard the simple order to change the shift schedule.
"We immediately revised the schedule in accordance with the captain's order."
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. You did a good job in following orders. Go back and keep the team running as usual."
"Yes, sir."
The deputy captain felt as if he had been pardoned. He bowed politely and left the dark room.
As the heavy metal door slowly closed behind him, the deputy captain breathed a sigh of relief.
