“Gone?”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was stunned. "What do you mean he disappeared? The hospital is so small, where could he go?"
"I don't know! But I've looked everywhere and asked other caregivers to help me look for it, but I just can't find it!"
Lin Qiye's brows were furrowed, and the next moment, his mental power covered the entire hospital, the inpatient building, the nurses' dormitory, the underground prison... He searched every place carefully, but still found no trace of Yelande.
"Is it really gone?" Lin Qiye asked suspiciously.
How is this possible?
Lin Qiye has seen many strange patients so far, but this is the first time he has seen someone disappear in the hospital. Logically speaking, the patient should not run away from the hospital without his permission. So where did Ye Lan go?
“…What should I do next?” Li Yifei was a little panicked. How come he lost a patient just after returning?
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Let all the nurses disperse and search every corner of the hospital. If you find anything suspicious, report it immediately... I'll go ask Gilgamesh."
"good!"
Li Yifei immediately went back to mobilize the nurses to start the search. Countless figures scattered around, and the tranquility of the hospital was broken, with an unusual noise.
Lin Qiye walked straight to the second floor of the ward and knocked on Gilgamesh's door.
"Enter."
Lin Qiye walked into the room. Gilgamesh was leaning against the wall and looking out the window. When he saw him come in, he tilted his head slightly:
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Yeland is missing."
"Missing?" Gilgamesh was stunned and asked in confusion, "Where could he have disappeared to?"
"I don't know...but I searched the entire hospital with my mental power and couldn't find him." Lin Qiye asked, "Have you seen him during this period?"
Gilgamesh thought about it carefully and said, "I've seen him play chess with Li Yifei."
"After playing chess?"
"Then he went to the rooftop where he usually went."
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked out the window. From this position in Gilgamesh's ward, he could see the top of the opposite floor. Lin Qiye remembered that Yeland often looked down at the hospital from there when he had nothing to do.
"I hate that guy, because every time he stands here, it's like he's looking down on me..." Gilgamesh snorted coldly, as if he had thought of something, looking very unhappy.
"So has he done anything unusual recently?"
"Abnormal..." Gilgamesh thought for a moment, "In addition to liking to look down, he seems to like looking up at the sky recently. This is also something I discovered by accident."
"Look up at the sky? Is there anything in the sky?"
"No, there's obviously nothing."
Lin Qiye's brows furrowed more and more. According to Gilgamesh's description, Yeland's behavior became more and more strange... although he was strange to begin with.
Lin Qiye asked a few more questions, but gained nothing. After all, Gilgamesh couldn't stand by the window and stare at Yelande every day. Seeing the old man with a kind smile on his face only made him feel irritated.
Seeing that Gilgamesh had no more information, Lin Qiye could only leave the hospital temporarily and leave the matter to Li Yifei and others.
"What's wrong? You don't look well."
On the Somersault Cloud, Cao Yuan saw Lin Qiye's expression changing, and asked, "If you are tired of flying, we can go down and rest for a while."
"No, I'm fine."
Lin Qiye confirmed the direction the Somersault Cloud was flying and began to observe the surroundings with his mental power. It had been more than an hour since they left Daxia. With the speed of the Somersault Cloud, they should be near America by now, but there was still no sight of Heaven.
"It seems that I have failed this time..." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye was about to throw the branch again, but suddenly he seemed to realize something and his brows suddenly locked!
He turned his head sharply and looked in a certain direction.
At the same time, Cao Yuan also smelled a hint of something unusual. He quickly placed his hand on the end of the hilt and looked around vigilantly, ready to draw his sword at any time.
In the void in the direction of the somersault cloud, a smoke-like figure slowly condensed.
It was a figure shrouded in a black robe, with a wide hat brim covering his face. Not a breath of air was leaking from his body, and he seemed to be floating in the air like a ghost.
The moment he saw that figure, Lin Qiye's pupils shrank slightly.
"Number 27?"
During the turmoil in Asgard, No. 27 and Si Xiaonan killed Loki together. According to the agreement between him and Lin Qiye, Lin Qiye needed to help him find someone... But since the destruction of Asgard, Lin Qiye has never seen him again.
Lin Qiye was very surprised to meet him here at this moment.
Cao Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the black shadow, his muscles tensed. Lin Qiye shook his head gently: "Don't be nervous, it's not an enemy."
"... Are they really not enemies? Why do I feel murderous intent?" Cao Yuan couldn't help but speak.
As the two were talking, the Somersault Cloud slowly stopped in front of No. 27. Lin Qiye stood up and said respectfully:
"Meet the hunter."
Although Lin Qiye knew that No. 27 was the Hunting Ancestor before, he did not understand what the word "Hunting Ancestor" meant. But after visiting the Ancestral God Temple, he has deeply experienced the power of the Ancestral God. These are a group of ancestors who defeated the Ke system head-on countless years ago!
Hearing this, No. 27 raised his brows slightly under his hood, and the cold murderous intent in the air stagnated.
Lin Qiye sensed the aura of the other party and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what had happened, so he continued, "I didn't know Senior Xunzu's true identity before, so I was a little rude in my words. Please forgive me."
No. 27 looked at him carefully and asked in a deep voice, "Have you been to the Ancestral Temple?"
"yes."
No. 27 looked at him silently, as if thinking about something.
“Senior Shouzu, where have you been during this time? Didn’t I say I would help you find someone?” Seeing that the atmosphere had become inexplicably tense again, Lin Qiye took the initiative to speak.
"..." No. 27 was silent for a moment, and looked at Lin Qiye with narrowed eyes under the hood, "Where did I go? Why didn't you tell me where you went? After I killed Loki, I went to find you, and found that you had returned to Daxia.
There is a Tianzun in Daxia territory, and I don't want to have a direct confrontation with them, so I have been waiting for an opportunity outside the border... until today when I sensed your presence in the mist leaving the border, and then I chased you all the way."
No. 27 paused, his voice gradually becoming colder, "You, haven't been avoiding me because you don't want to fulfill the contract?"
Feeling the chill emanating from No. 27, cold sweat began to seep out of Lin Qiye's forehead.
So this is where the problem lies!
He quickly explained:
“No… I thought you would come directly to Daxia to find me like the Seraph did back then… You didn’t show up for so long, I thought you had something to do, so I kept waiting.
But aren't you the Hunting Ancestor? You're not an alien god hostile to Daxia, so why are you unwilling to step into the border of Daxia?"
