The dim lights of the trading market only illuminated a small area. Standing in a dark corner, Lin Ruo's eyes flickered slightly before she turned and quickly left.
In just a few minutes, she arrived at the entrance of the underground trading market. This time, she didn't need to teleport in; she simply took out the trading token. The two people at the entrance glanced at it and let her through. Anyone who could obtain a trading token from the underground trading market was a major client of theirs, so why would they stop them?
Lin Ruo descended the stairs, and the underground trading market was much quieter, with far fewer stalls and people trading.
She walked slowly past the stalls to the counter where the same woman was standing. Lin Ruo walked over and placed her transaction token on the counter. "I'm here to check the transaction progress."
The woman respectfully accepted the trading token, glanced at the number on it, her pupils contracted, and a dark glint flashed within them.
Standing to the side, Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly. Something was not right. It seemed that some of them were doing quite well in City A, to the point that they could get people from the underground trading market to help them.
The woman closed the notebook in her hand, gave Lin Ru an apologetic smile, then winked at the person next to her, and a man immediately walked over.
The man was very respectful to the woman. The woman whispered something to the man, who nodded, straightened up, and looked at Lin Ruo with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
The woman then turned around, separating the portraits of the three Lin family members and Li Ke in her hands. Smiling at Lin Ruo, she said, "It's like this, the three people you were looking for weren't found at the A City base, but this man..."
"The person in charge of this mission wants to report the mission status to you in person and is waiting for you at a certain place. This is one of our staff members, and he will take you there."
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the Lin family had not survived the natural disaster. She just hadn't expected her guess to come true.
Li Ke is indeed quite capable. It seems that the backer she found this time is quite powerful. It would be good to go and see what kind of monsters and demons they are, and then deal with them all at once to avoid future trouble.
She nodded. "Okay."
The woman's brow twitched when she saw Lin Ruo's quick reply. To answer so easily in this situation meant either he was stupid or he was incredibly strong and fearless.
The person in front of me doesn't seem to be the first type at all.
"Please, please." The woman's attitude towards Lin Ruo became much more respectful without her noticing. She then added to the man, "Don't neglect our distinguished guest."
The man nodded and gestured for Lin Ruo to follow him away.
The man led Lin Ruo out of the underground trading market exit and walked ahead. Lin Ruo had already toured the entire A City base, so she naturally knew where this road led—it was the way to the inner layer.
She walked behind the man, asking casually, "I just got back today. Did something happen at our base in City A?"
The man turned to look at Lin Ruo, then turned back to continue leading the way. He didn't answer Lin Ruo's question, but instead said, "This way, please, guest."
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, took out a crystal core from her pocket, and put it in the man's palm. The man paused for a moment, then quickly put the crystal core back into his pocket.
He looked around carefully and, after confirming that no one had noticed, whispered to Lin Ruo, "Something big has happened at the base. The woman who had been serving the base chief was found by Captain Yin Chuan to be a superhuman, and a charm user at that. In order to escape, she charmed another superhuman, and the two of them escaped from the base together. The base chief is furious about this and has ordered that they be caught."
Lin Ruo nodded, having understood the whole story, and her doubts disappeared. A charm ability? She hadn't expected such an ability to actually exist. The abilities in this world are truly bizarre and wonderful.
However, the power of this charm ability seems to be nothing special. Yin Chuan, whom we encountered at the A City base, was the strongest among these ability users. The fact that this woman couldn't charm Yin Chuan to take her away shows that this charm ability has its limits; she couldn't charm Yin Chuan.
Otherwise, if they had dealt with Yin Chuan, why would they have bothered running? They could have just killed the base chief and taken over for themselves.
Soon Lin Ruo followed the man to the inner entrance. The man took out a sign and handed it to the guard. After the guard looked at it, he waved his hand at him, assuring him that everything was alright.
Lin Ruo followed the person into the inner doorway. It wasn't until they arrived at the entrance of the 5 villas in the 3rd row that she realized who the person looking for her was—a person with superpowers.
She expanded her mental energy, and now there were quite a few superhumans in the four or five villas, but Li Ke wasn't there; they were all lying in ambush for her.
Lin Ruo slowly curled the corners of her mouth under her mask, revealing an evil smile. "Then kill them all."
The man knocked respectfully on the door, and soon a young woman came out. She looked Lin Ruo up and down with a hint of mockery in her eyes, raised her chin, and waved at the man. The man turned and left without hesitation.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow slightly but made no move.
Then the woman chuckled, turned around, and said as she walked away, "Come with me."
Lin Ruo clearly saw the colorless crystal core in this person's mind. She blinked, scratched her nose, and felt a little uncomfortable because no one had spoken to her like this for a long time.
She followed the woman into the villa, maintaining a distance of two meters from the woman who was leading the way.
The woman led Lin Ruo upstairs, then turned to look at her again, asking, "What's your relationship with Li Ke?"
Lin Ruo was unsure how the story was going, so she simply answered truthfully, "Friend."
The woman gave another sarcastic laugh. "There are many kinds of friends. I really don't know what's so great about this person, that one after another they're all throwing themselves at him."
Hmm? Lin Ruo sensed something different in this person's words and began to guess. If it was really as she thought, then Li Ke was indeed quite capable.
They arrived at a room. The woman pushed open the door and went inside, and Lin Ruo naturally followed behind. The room was an office. A woman was sitting behind a desk, and another woman was sitting on the sofa next to her.
The woman sitting behind the desk had long hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing a combat suit. The fiery red crystal core in her mind indicated her supernatural ability. In front of her was a document, which she was looking at intently.
The woman sitting on the sofa had short, neat hair and was playing with several daggers in her hands. She tossed the daggers up and down in the air, and they drew arcs in the air before returning to her hand. This was a psychic ability.
Hearing the sound, the two women in the room looked over. When they saw Lin Ruo dressed in black with her face covered, Gu An, sitting behind his desk, frowned slightly. "You're here. Have a seat."
Lin Ruo, without any hesitation, sat down on the sofa opposite the woman wielding the knife. After adjusting to a more comfortable position, she spoke, "You've led me through all this trouble, can you tell me the result now?"
