The headquarters of Shangxiehui.
Utopia.
Inside the research institute, several figures hurriedly passed through the corridor. The knight frowned and asked:
"…A distress signal? What's going on?"
"About two days ago, when you took others to North America to carry out a mission, we received a distress signal from the president, but it only lasted for 0.3 seconds before disappearing." A member of the Shangxie Society beside him spoke solemnly and handed the pixel tablet in his hand to the knight.
The knight took out the tablet and began to read it with a serious expression.
"It only lasted 0.3 seconds?"
"Yes, we speculate that perhaps it is because the fog has obscured the transmission of the signal, or perhaps... there is some other huge external force that interferes with the transmission of the signal source."
"for example?"
"For example...divine power."
Hearing these two words, the knight's eyes narrowed.
"Did the president say what you were going to do?"
"She said that Lin Qiye was in danger and she wanted to rescue him. She also asked us to keep it a secret for the time being and not tell his teammates."
"Lin Qiye is in danger? What danger?"
The member of Shangxie Society repeated the news that He Lin had been brought back.
"Three Olympian gods? That shouldn't be the case... Even if the president encountered them, he should be able to run away if he can't defeat them." The knight frowned more and more, "What's going on..."
"What should we do next?"
"Don't panic. The president is very lucky. It won't happen to him that easily." The knight pondered for a moment and spoke calmly:
“First, send a team to follow He Lin to search the place where Lin Qiye was in danger to see if there are any clues.
Also, immediately issue an order to all the envoys who are carrying out missions in the fog to return to Utopia immediately!"
"yes!"
…
Utopia.
The other side.
clang--!
Two pixelated wine glasses collided with each other, and the golden wine rolled up, exuding the fragrance of barley.
Cao Yuan raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. He sat on the black sofa, slowly put the cup in his hand back on the table, and spoke lightly:
"Xiao Jia, how should we treat you these days?"
Next to him, a tall, blond, blue-eyed Western handsome man was suddenly stunned and answered in broken Chinese: "Brother Cao is very good to me..."
"If I'm in trouble, will you help me?"
"Help!" He nodded firmly.
"In that case, I won't keep you in suspense." Cao Yuan paused, his sharp eyes staring at Xiao Jia calmly, "Tell me...has anything big happened recently?"
"event?"
"If I remember correctly, Lin Qiye followed your people to attend a meeting for almost a week and has not returned yet. In addition, your president seems to have not appeared in the past two days..." Cao Yuan's eyes gradually narrowed, "Xiao Jia, your Shangxie Society... is not hiding anything from us?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jia's heart skipped a beat.
He scratched his head, "Well..."
"Xiao Jia, I believe in you and the Shangxie Society. If something really happens, I believe it is not your fault... But if you continue to hide it from us, then I am afraid we can no longer be brothers."
As Cao Yuan's voice gradually turned colder, cold sweat began to seep out of Xiao Jia's forehead. He hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke:
"...Forget it, even if I don't tell you about this now, I can't keep it a secret for too long...
Lin Qiye and our president disappeared together."
"Missing?" Cao Yuan frowned. "When did it happen?"
"I only learned the specific situation this morning. This is what happened..."
Xiao Jia told Cao Yuan the whole story in detail, and the latter fell silent after listening.
"Brother Cao, it's not that I don't want to tell you about this. It's just that the president has given the order first, and this involves the gods. Even if you go, you can't help much, so..." Xiao Jia tried hard to explain.
"I see."
Without waiting for Xiao Jia to finish explaining, Cao Yuan stood up and quickly walked out of the box with a serious expression.
After turning several corners, he knocked on the door of another box.
"How's it going over there?" Baili Pangpang sat alone in the box, his expression also extremely solemn.
"I found out."
"The same goes for me..." Baili Pangpang compared the information he got from another member of Shangxie Society with Cao Yuan, and the two were completely consistent.
"The Shangxie Society had no reason to lie to us. It seems that Jin Yi and Nanaya are indeed in trouble... Fatty, your intuition is right."
Cao Yuan let out a long sigh.
"Let's go, let's go find the knight first."
Baili Pangpang and the other man left the bar and stopped after walking a few steps.
Baili Pangpang looked at the black dots approaching in the distance and smiled helplessly, "It seems that we don't need to look for him..."
A whistling gale blew across the street, and the knight, along with several members of the Shangxie Society, flew to the door of the bar at an astonishing speed. When he saw Cao Yuan and Baili Pangpang, an apologetic look appeared on his face.
"I'm really sorry, both of you, about what happened before..."
"Okay, I understand President Ji's painstaking efforts, but now is not the time to talk about this." Cao Yuan said helplessly, "Have you found their location?"
"I have sent a team to search for clues at the place where they were last seen, but their exact location is still unknown." The knight sighed. "In the fog, except for the president's special intercom, the operation of all electronic components is disrupted. It is difficult to locate their location using scientific methods...
I wonder if you two have any other methods?"
Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"We can't do anything, but..."
Baili Pangpang changed the subject and said, "Maybe there is someone who can do it."
"Who?" the knight asked immediately.
Baili Pangpang didn't say anything, but just turned his head silently and looked in a certain direction.
…
Utopia.
Institute No. 3, at the entrance.
"You want to see Director An?" A researcher in a white coat asked with some confusion, "But Director An is currently leading our researchers to perform autopsies. I'm afraid..."
"Please help us tell him something." Baili Pangpang said solemnly, "Tell him that something happened to Qiye."
"this……"
"Go quickly." The knight said immediately, "This is a serious matter. You can put your research aside for now."
The researcher hesitated for a moment, then nodded and quickly walked back to the institute.
Everyone waited at the door for only a minute before a red and white figure carrying a black coffin suddenly pushed open the door of the institute and walked out.
