After thinking about it all night, Gu Li finally remembered the man in black in the photo Caroline had given her; she had seen him before.
She was one of the mysterious cult members she had searched for when she first left the city of aliens and boarded the ship.
“I remember now, I’ve seen that person before, some people call him Stephen.”
"But the mysterious cult has always been able to hide like rats in the gutter, and it will take some time to find them."
Caroline, still dressed in all black, leaned back on the sofa. Underneath her black trench coat was a black fitted fishtail dress. The way she quietly smoked on the sofa made her look like a beauty who had stepped out of a medieval oil painting.
Hearing Gu Li's words, she chuckled and said, "Relax. We only asked you to cooperate to increase our chances of winning. White Eagle has been tracking that guy for many years, so a little more time won't make a difference."
Saide and Al were still asleep, and Gu Li, alone in the room, could only overthink things. So she came to Caroline early this morning to tell her about the news she remembered last night.
Unexpectedly, she was completely different from the person who was so eager for her to agree to cooperate yesterday.
He even took the initiative to advise her not to be too hasty.
Gu Li's gaze, which had been fixed on the void, shifted to her, and he suddenly asked with certainty, "What did you find out?"
Caroline shifted her raised foot and casually handed the newspaper beside her to Gu Li.
"Perhaps we should call them something else."
Gu Li's puzzled gaze shifted to the newspaper, where the photo occupying the largest page caught her eye.
[President Bellamy has passed away, and the next president is a complete stranger?!]
The accompanying photo is a black and white picture showing the area in front of President Bellamy's palace crowded with media and guards, as well as a crowd of people with fervent expressions, with a man in the center surrounded by stars.
Gu Li's gaze fell on that gentle and refined face. As always, he wore a top hat, had a tall and slender figure, and held a cane in his hand.
In the photo, he appears to be talking to someone next to him, but his gaze is directed at the camera.
It seems that the new president is a beloved and approachable person.
If he's not a member of the Mystic Church.
Gu Li almost thought she was seeing things, and then she felt a sense of absurdity. They were still here investigating the mysterious church, while someone else had already become President Bellamy.
She read the report word by word, then sighed and put the newspaper down.
Gu Li looked up and met Caroline's gaze, jokingly saying, "At least we know where they are now."
No wonder those rats were so hard to find; they'd moved their nest.
Caroline smiled. They all understood that Bellamy had probably become a protective shell for the Mystic Church. The longer it dragged on, the deeper the Mystic Church would become entangled with Bellamy.
It's likely that before long, the Mysterious Church will be able to replace Nicholas in Bellamy's position and become the largest legitimate church organization.
Gu Li had to admit that their methods were even more sophisticated than she had imagined.
Since the person she was looking for wasn't here.
Gu Li straightened up and took the initiative to say goodbye to Caroline: "I'm going back. This is not just about the hatred between us, but also about an entire country."
"We will report the incident to the federal government and notify you then. In short, it won't be long."
Caroline watched her retreating figure with admiration in her eyes. She wondered what this young woman, who was at most twenty years old, had gone through to become the way she was now.
It won't be as easy as it was for her.
Her keenness and ability amazed Caroline, but what truly convinced her to cooperate with her was her appreciation for her companionship.
Soon a spaceship carrying the White Eagle's pass flew out of Grantham.
The journey was very smooth. The spaceship exuded a powerful aura, and nothing dared to bother it.
The spaceship only slowed down when it reached the border of the Lower Sixth District.
The invasions by Grantham and Bellamy not only brought the Eleventh Army into the public eye, but also slightly altered the Safe Zone's attitude towards the Exiles.
The legions stationed on the border are proof of that.
Looking down at the army camp below, Said sighed, "We didn't have this many troops before."
Alfoseni sat expressionlessly opposite him: "It's only right to learn from mistakes. After this incident, the safe zone has finally realized that the Exile is also federal territory. Congratulations."
As Saed listened to him spraying venom expressionlessly, his hand, which was on the table, instinctively rose, then stiffly fell back down under Al's mocking gaze.
Only the pair of furry ears on the top of his head twitched in dissatisfaction.
It was clearly just a subconscious physiological reaction, but it still made Alfoseny stand up abruptly and walk away quickly in dissatisfaction.
“I warned you to hide your damn shameless ears, Saed!”
Saed stared dumbfounded at Al's indignant departure, his gaze lingering on Al's trembling ears and tail.
"Don't you have one yourself?!"
Alfoseny staggered slightly before disappearing from his sight again.
With a slight jolt, the spaceship descended as guided from below, and Gu Li's voice rang out behind Sai De.
"Don't worry about him. People with too much pride always get stuck on things. Give him some time, he'll figure it out."
As Said looked at Gu Li, who had piloted the spaceship to bring them back along the way, he fell silent for a moment, his usually lively expression turning somber.
"Ultimately, I don't know how to explain to everyone that we've become...werewolves. What if—and I mean what if—they'll be afraid and stay away because of it..."
Gu Li yawned lazily when he heard the urging voice on the communication channel.
"I've already told you, you're not werewolves, at most you're incompletely mutated wolf cubs. You don't have the ability to spread the virus, so as to whether you're afraid of us..."
Gu Li paused meaningfully at this point, and a figure quietly appeared at the other end of the spaceship, secretly observing the conversation.
Saide's originally handsome face had become even thinner due to this ordeal. His slightly long black hair was tied into a small braid at the back of his head, and a pair of large, fluffy ears stood up among the black hair on top of his head.
One was quietly moving towards the chestnut tree.
"My answer is no. And here's a piece of advice: once you're out there, stay away from overly enthusiastic people."
Upon hearing her words, Said excitedly raised his head, his ears perked up, and loudly assured her, "I understand!"
Alfoseni, who walked past him with his arms crossed, snorted coldly.
He was wearing a top hat that was struggling to cover his ears.
idiot.
The team waiting outside, growing impatient, contacted the spaceship's pilot again.
"This is the entry inspection team for Zone 1. Drivers and passengers, please disembark immediately for inspection!"
Wang Li, standing at the front, quietly waved to his back. Something was wrong with this ship; he was on alert.
The entire squad gripped their guns tightly. At that moment, the spaceship's hatch finally opened with a hiss, revealing the three people inside.
The moment someone saw it clearly, their hand trembled.
"Bang!"
