Chapter 584

"Natasha, what's wrong? Is it serious?"

"I can't say... As you know, many people in the lower district have family and friends in the upper district, and the lockdown has prevented them from reuniting with their loved ones, friends, or partners. And the same is true for the upper district."

"You mean there are people in the upper district who are unhappy with the blockade? Xing might be one of them. She wants me to cause a ruckus in the upper district and force the City Builder to lift the blockade?"

"I can only say that there is a certain possibility."

From the few fragmented descriptions, Natasha could only roughly deduce that this mysterious Xing seemed to be dissatisfied with the Great Guardian. But was it dissatisfaction with the blockade of the upper and lower districts, or something more serious—a desire to overthrow Cocolia's rule? These questions remained unanswered.

Natasha pondered for a long time, and could only say:

"First, try to keep an eye on this person and see what she's up to in the lower districts. Also, Seele, you need to be careful and not blindly cooperate with her."

"But if we can really force the City Builder to lift the blockade, everyone won't have to live such a difficult life!"

"Seele!"

Natasha placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, lowered her head, and used a serious, earnest look to force the girl to submit. She said:

"I know the sudden lockdown has cost everyone dearly, but the City Builder wouldn't have given such an order unless the situation was dire. I have no right to demand that anyone forgive this, but you also need to understand Belobog's way of life. If the conflict were to erupt out of control, causing the City Builder's order to collapse— Fragmentum invasion would be a catastrophe for everyone, both upper and lower levels, do you understand?"

"Didn't Fragmentum appear in the lower districts too? What exactly did the City Builder protect... Ah! I understand, I'll be careful, and I'll definitely consult you and Chief Oleg immediately if anything happens! Don't look at me like that, go and get some rest!"

Seele's anger was extinguished by Natasha's gentle and sad gaze. She then pushed Natasha to a nearby hospital bed, seemingly intending to force the doctor to fall asleep in front of her.

After struggling slightly, Natasha finally fell asleep.

It should be said that the key members of the Firefly Organization are all like this. They have done everything they can for the stability of the lower districts, and they are all in a state of overwork, falling asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

Afterwards, Seele went outside and knocked on the head of several children playing near the clinic, warning them to go play somewhere further away.

"Ugh! Damn it! We, the Mole Gang, will not let you get away with this!"

"Whatever, just kidding~~"

Amidst the furious shouts of Hook, the leader of the "Mole Gang," Seele made a face, turned around, and strode away.

"Rumor has it that the notorious middleman Sampo Koski revealed that someone supposedly saw the person you're looking for deep in the mining area, near a nomad camp."

"What? Sampo, where is he?"

"It seems they noticed that Seele was coming, so they just slipped away."

"Tsk! That guy is suspicious. My gut feeling tells me there's something wrong with him. You guys keep an eye on him. I'm off."

Without delay, Seele transformed into Blue Butterfly Shadow and vanished in an instant before the camp miners could stop her.

According to Natasha, she might be the kind of madwoman who's solely focused on disrupting order and dragging everyone down with her... In any case, we can't let this go unchecked; we have to find her and get to the bottom of this!

As for whether she could win or not, Seele had no choice.

While the total number of those Pathwalker is considerable, they are extremely rare on a single planet.

Seele considered herself the top expert in the Firefly Organization, and no one else could help her; she had to handle it all by herself.

Naturally, Xing, who was surveying the terrain underground, sorting out plans, and passing the time, soon noticed Seele's approach.

'Sampo?'

This was the first thought that popped into Xing's mind.

She didn't deliberately conceal her whereabouts, but given her current expert persona, ordinary people wouldn't be able to discover her location.

This inevitably led Xing to suspect Sampo.

'Could he really be a Masked Fool?'

The doubts deepened, yet there was still no evidence.

Xing simply stopped thinking about it, squatted down in front of an exposed mineral vein, and picked up a piece of Earth Marrow Ore that seemed to have been quite popular in interstellar space. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't resist her curiosity and opened her mouth.

"Wait! You can't eat stones!"

The barefoot, white-haired, red-eyed beauty who perfectly fits the aesthetic standards of Anqi Faction, who had only caught a glimpse of her earlier, ran over with a look of terror on her face.
