Just as Li Wei had told Lillie yesterday, Lusamine had actually been searching through lists of missing people as well.
She had asked Professor Burnet and Wicke to check missing-person records from various places for any sign of Mohn.
But the result was the same as before.
Wicke shook her head helplessly.

"James."
"Yes."
"Isn't this the study?"
The study was a
