The Emperor sat upright on the majestic and solemn dragon throne, exuding an innate aura of nobility, yet he could not hide the somber expression on his face.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep eyes like two bottomless pools.
A sharp light seemed to flicker within, as if it could see through all the secrets hidden in the darkness.
At this moment, the court discussion was in full swing, with the ministers' voices mingling together, some speaking passionately, others discussing in hushed tones.
However, the Emperor only pretended to listen attentively, but in reality, his thoughts were already mostly on Feng Qingyun.
Deep down, I felt like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously awaiting further developments regarding the truth of the case.
In the Emperor's eyes, this case of missing people was like a heavy boulder, weighing heavily on his heart.
It also involved the stability of the capital and the well-being of the people, making him extremely anxious.
The clamor in the court seemed like distant and insignificant background noise at this moment. Only by quickly unraveling the many mysteries of the case could he finally feel at ease.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea passes during this seemingly calm yet turbulent long wait.
Feng Qingyun's excited voice was like a sudden, bright flash of lightning that pierced the dull night sky.
In an instant, a thunderous sound exploded in Qin Qianluo's heart: "Found them, Luo Bao! A large number of people have indeed mysteriously disappeared."
Moreover, the characteristics of the missing persons are very obvious; the vast majority are young men and women in their prime.
However, the reason behind this was not, as everyone had previously speculated, the work of those ruthless and unscrupulous traffickers who would stop at nothing to gain personal profit.
"Over the years, Lu Yunqi has served as the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to his duties."
With his outstanding governance skills and unwavering determination, he adopted a series of effective governance measures, bringing order to both the capital and its surrounding areas.
Thanks to his efforts, the once dreaded and abhorred plunderers have been greatly curbed and have become extremely rare.
They have almost disappeared from the capital city.
"But the one who really catches these young men and women is just an ordinary citizen who is usually inconspicuous and lost in the vast sea of people."
This person must have initially suffered from some extremely serious and difficult-to-treat illness, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day, struggling in the torment of pain.
As for what happened later, no one knows where he met or who he met.
What strange and unknown events did they experience, as if the gears of fate took a bizarre turn here?
After reappearing, he seemed to have completely changed. His personality changed drastically, and he began to relentlessly and unscrupulously capture young people all over the capital.
It was precisely his series of bizarre actions that led to the current chaotic situation of numerous people mysteriously disappearing.
Feng Qingyun's voice contained both the excitement and joy of successfully unraveling part of the mystery, as well as a touch of amazement and doubt about this series of bizarre events.
Upon hearing Feng Qingyun's account, Qin Qianluo's previously calm face instantly changed, and her beautiful eyes widened sharply.
Like a boulder thrown into two clear springs, creating ripples, the sudden realization and reflection that flashed in my eyes were like a fleeting yet dazzling shooting star in the night sky.
A bold and slightly chilling thought, like a bolt of lightning, exploded in her mind in an instant.
Could it be...? She was extremely anxious, her inner turmoil surging like a tidal wave.
Without thinking, he urgently asked Feng Qingyun in his heart, "Yunbao, did that person see Yu Ying? Besides Yu Ying possessing such unfathomable and mysterious abilities?"
I really can't think of anyone else who could be undetectable to you, no matter how hard I try.
In fact, Feng Qingyun had only just begun to catch a clue related to Yu Ying as she followed the clues and unraveled the mystery.
The mysterious and unpredictable figure of Yu Ying faintly appeared in my mind.
Upon hearing Qin Qianluo's sharp and incisive question, a layer of frost instantly settled on her delicate face, her solemn and serious expression evident.
Like mountains covered in ice and snow in the dead of winter, it exudes a chilling and austere atmosphere.
She solemnly said, "Luo Bao, there is indeed a very high possibility of this, and all indications suggest that this matter is closely related to Yu Ying."
According to my investigation, after that person unfortunately contracted a serious illness, his health deteriorated rapidly, as if he were being mercilessly crushed by the giant wheel of fate, suffering endless torment in both body and mind.
He knew that his time in this world was running out, and the candle of his life was flickering and about to be extinguished in the raging winds of illness.
Filled with despair, helplessness, and sorrow, she dragged her frail body, as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
They stumbled and wandered aimlessly toward a remote, desolate, and little-known cave.
The cave seemed like an entrance to the underworld, silent and eerie.
He seemed to have no more attachment to this world and intended to go to that secluded, deserted cave filled with the aura of death.
Alone, he awaited death's arrival, quietly drawing a line under his tragic and tumultuous life.
Feng Qingyun paused slightly, a hint of struggle and confusion flashing in her bright eyes.
It seemed as if they were trying to piece together even the slightest clue from the blank space obscured by a mysterious force.
It also seemed as if it was trying its best to calm the turbulent waves in its heart caused by this extremely bizarre event.
