"Captain Li, what did you say?" I seriously suspected that I was hallucinating, so I had to ask again.
Li She, the commander of the Zhenhun Banner, also knew that this matter was very fishy, so he spoke again: "Zang Guoshi, the small group of people who disappeared before are back. They are all back and they are all unharmed."
It's really a hell.
Compared to my shock, Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
"Yes, Chief."
Li She led the way, and Lin Zhenhua and I soon arrived at the place where the crowd was commotion.
When they saw us coming, everyone immediately divided into two rows and stood up. Upon seeing this, Li She ordered: "All members of the eighth team, come out."
"Yes, Flag Commander."
As soon as he finished speaking, fifteen soul-suppressing soldiers stood up in unison.
I looked at them carefully and found that they were indeed intact and alive, and there was no possibility of them being impersonated by evil spirits.
So what's going on?
Lin Zhenhua stared at them for a moment and began to make routine inquiries.
Seeing this, I called Li She aside and asked, "Chief Li Banner, where are your ten thousand Gu insects?"
Although the people are back, if all the Gu insects are missing, it at least means that there is still a problem here.
Unexpectedly...
"Zang Guoshi, not long after they came back, all my Wangu insect team came back. They were unscathed like them, and no abnormalities were found." Li She knew what I was thinking, so he spoke especially quietly.
But no matter how quiet he whispered, I still heard him.
Therefore, I was very disappointed and said: "Isn't it all in vain?"
Although Riche did not respond to this, his silence was undoubtedly the best answer.
Then, we both set our sights on Lin Zhenhua at the same time.
I thought he could ask something, but Lin Zhenhua shook his head at us.
Nothing?
Is it really a coincidence?
I don't quite accept this.
Lin Zhenhua didn't say much about this. He just said loudly: "Since the team is back, let's continue setting off."
"Captain Li, please remember to ask everyone to pay attention to each other this time and don't get separated again." After a pause, Lin Zhenhua added.
"Yes, Chief!"
After Lishe accepted the order, he returned to the team.
After confirming that I had put some distance between myself and the team, I whispered: "Mr. President, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Seeing that he was silent, I said again: "Whisper, the kind you talk to alone."
As I said that, I also moved closer to Lin Zhenhua. From the outside, I was just acting coquettishly with him and didn't have any intention of discussing things in secret.
But in fact.
"Their memories have been modified." Lin Zhenhua said seriously: "They must have gone somewhere they shouldn't have gone, but for some reason they were put back."
I had already guessed that Lin Zhenhua had seen the clues.
Otherwise he wouldn't have come back so soon.
but……
"What do you mean?" I frowned and asked, "Is it possible that the dragon slayers of Tushan don't want us to find them?"
Other than that, I can't think of any other reason for them to send the soul-killing soldiers back.
"The specific situation is unknown." Lin Zhenhua said truthfully, and then reached out to help me smooth the long hair in front of my forehead: "But if nothing else, the Dragon Slayer is watching us."
How is this possible?
Even if my divine power disappears, won't the other soul-suppressing soldiers be able to discover it?
What's more important is that Lin Zhenhua doesn't know where the Dragon Slayer is actually. He can't even be sure whether he is there or not.
tomato
This makes me a little unbelievable.
"This is Tushan, a place where they have lived for thousands of years. Naturally, they have their own ways to hide." Lin Zhenhua said bluntly.
Well, it looks like this situation is worse than I thought.
"Then what are we going to do? Lead the snake out of its hole?"
"Yes." Lin Zhenhua nodded, "I and the fifteen soul-suppressing soldiers have placed trace back charms on them. We just need to follow them."
this?
"Does Captain Li know about this?" I asked.
If you don’t know, wouldn’t there be disagreements?
"He knows. I have informed him in a secret message," Lin Zhenhua said truthfully.
When I heard this, I came to my senses and couldn't help but blink and look at him.
Lin Zhenhua was a little confused by my sudden gaze: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. I thought I was smart enough to see through your thoughts before, but now I realize that someone's thoughts are deeper than the bottom of the sea." I pretended to be disappointed and sighed: "I can't see through it. I really can't see through it."
But isn't it? I haven't come up with anything yet.
Lin Zhenhua has already looked at the overall situation and arranged everything. The gap should not be too big.
"Really disappointed?" Lin Zhenhua asked.
Seeing the look on his face, I finally couldn't hold back my laughter.
And when I smile, everything disappears.
However, Lin Zhenhua was not angry. Instead, he said softly: "It's great to see you smiling like this all the time."
"Chief Minister of China, you are so mean. Didn't you agree to say hello in advance when you want to talk about love?"
In this way, Lin Zhenhua and I followed the soul-suppressing soldiers all the way forward.
We walked for almost half an hour, but found nothing. Soon Li She couldn't hold back his anger and came over: "Commander, Zang Guoshi, this is the fourth time we have walked."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Lin Zhenhua and I also discovered this place and we had walked back and forth many times.
In short, if they could be found, they would have been found long ago.
But if we give up now, what else can we do?
When I was extremely confused, a strong wind suddenly blew, and then white mist suddenly appeared on the ground.
The fog was so thick that within a short time the entire world was plunged into a vast expanse of white, making it difficult to see either the way forward or the rear.
I waved my hand vigorously a few times to disperse the fog, and then I discovered something.
That is——
Lin Zhenhua is missing!
I actually got separated from him, how is this possible!?
While I was still in shock, a cold voice came: "What are you looking for? Are you looking for your husband?"
"Yes." I admitted without hesitation, and then asked following the voice: "Are you the dragon slayer?"
"There are no dragon slayers in this world anymore. You can go back to where you came from." Through the white mist, I saw a woman standing not far away.
Unfortunately, the fog was too thick and I couldn't see her clearly in the white mist.
but……
"No, you are the dragon slayer." I said again: "As long as the evil dragon is not destroyed, the dragon slayer will exist."
"Ha." came a cold scoff.
It seems that this time she doesn't even want to answer my words, because there is no point in doing so.
But really not?
This is not the case, so I was not discouraged by being treated so coldly by the other party. Instead, I continued: "How come it has only been a thousand years and you are afraid of the evil dragon because it is too powerful?"
"If that's the case, you really can't afford the title of Dragon Slayer. Because this is not only a title, but also a symbol of courage. And..."
"And what?" the cold female voice came again. This chapter has been completed!
