"Beep...

beep...

Hello, the number you dialed is not in service area. Please try again later.

Tuote hung up the phone again, looked at the call log full of missed calls from Aidan, and looked helplessly at Hela.

Hela sat at the table, gnawing on a steak with one hand, her mind frantically searching for Aidan's location.

Even though she and Xiao Er used their mental power to cover the entire city and a certain area around it, they still couldn't sense any cells belonging to them in Aidan's body.

It's as if Aidan himself has simply vanished from the face of the earth.

Hela looked towards the doorway again.

The door was pushed open from the outside a moment later, Fulan, supporting himself on the door, staggered in.

Meeting Hela's gaze, he shook his head.

"I've searched almost the entire city, but I still can't find it."

Exhausted, I sat down on the sofa, picked up the water bottle on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah~ do you guys think he somehow broke free from the symbiosis and then ran away?"

After all, his name is... [ Electronic Fantasy ], and his superpower is really too strange; he might actually be able to do it.

"Impossible."

As soon as Fulan finished speaking, Hela immediately refused.

"He never had that thought at all, I know that."

Hela gulped down the beef in her hand, utterly disbelieving that Aidan would betray her.

She glanced at the message on her phone, then jumped off the table.

He'll come back; at least he's not dead.

Hela pushed open the heavy iron door, then opened Tuote's car door and got in.

"I'm heading to the filming location. You guys keep looking for Aidan."

After saying that, he stepped on the gas and sped away.

Seeing this, Tuote, who was already used to it, still sighed softly.

After exchanging a glance with Fulan, he continued trying to call Aidan.

After resting for a while, Fulan pushed open the door and continued flying out on his sword aura, it was unclear what he was going to do.

The entire huge warehouse was completely silent except for the ringing of Tuote's cell phone.

It felt extremely dull.

Inside the room with the four children, Beibei peeked outside through the crack in the door, then quickly went back inside.

He turned to look at the other three, a hint of hesitation creeping into his eyes.

"Are we really going? Won't it be dangerous...?"

There was a clear hint of apprehension in Xiao Bei's eyes.

Fuluolan nodded decisively, "Go! This is a great opportunity."

This is a special amulet belonging to the Black Death Gang; it's very important to their gang. If we return it, they might just recruit us.

It's not like there haven't been cases like this before!

The other three exchanged glances, and finally nodded, their eyes hardening.

The four slowly pushed open the door and saw that Tuote was still engrossed in making a phone call. They quickly slipped out of the room and headed towards the door.

"Hey, where are you guys going?"

Weier, who was wearing a mask and cleaning with a feather duster, saw the four people trying to leave. He turned around, asked a question, and walked quietly to them.

The four little ones, realizing their whereabouts had been discovered, immediately became too nervous to speak.

Weier noticed their suspicious behavior and their nervousness even after being discovered; his usually gentle brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you going to rob someone again? We've already told you we'll take care of you from now on."

If you're really out of money, you can tell me.

After saying that, she took out four hundred dollars from her pocket and handed them to them.

Fuluolan stared blankly at the money in his hand, then hurriedly waved his hand in a panic.

No, no, we're not planning to rob anyone.

We are just...

Uh, it's just...

He just wanted to visit our friends!

The other three nodded vigorously.

Weier raised one eyebrow slightly, looking at the four of them with suspicion.

"Okay, go out and have some fun. Be careful and remember to be back before dinner."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pushed open the door and went out.

After walking a distance, they looked at each other and revealed victorious expressions.

Fuluolan placed the Black Death Gang amulet in front of him.

His gaze was resolute as he stared at the bird-beak mask necklace.

In the dimly lit alley, the clanging and banging of metal sheets and a woman's screams could be heard.

The old streetlights flickered weakly at the entrance of the alley, illuminating a disheveled woman inside.

Lisa was thrown into the stinking puddle.

Her gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup were stained with sewage.

People who were once glamorous now look like rats in the street.

With trembling hands, she supported herself on the ground and stood up.

He looked up at the people in front of him, bloodstains still visible at the corner of his mouth.

How dare you do this...

Believe it or not, you'll regret it!

Lisa trembled as she spoke fiercely to the people in front of her, but her eyes were filled with fear.

Upon hearing this, the burly men in front, all wearing bird-beak doctor necklaces around their necks, gave a disdainful laugh.

Then one of the burly men wearing a headscarf stepped directly on Lisa's hand.

The latter screamed in pain repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Please, let me go...!"

He kept slapping the foot that was stepping on his hands, and tears of pain kept falling from his eyes.

The burly man sneered, pulled out a butterfly knife from his pocket, and prepared to grab Lisa's hair.

"Etc."

But then, a cold voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, the burly man sheathed his knife and stepped back.

Lisa looked at her hands, which had been trampled and were now bloody and mangled, and curled up on the ground in agony.

The burly man retreated behind a black-robed figure sitting on a gasoline drum, and the rest of the people also moved to the sides to make way for him.

This man in black robes wore a high-necked hat similar to those in the Middle Ages, and a mask that resembled a raven on his face.

He held a short cane in his hand, slowly sat up, and walked towards Lisa.

He crouched down, grabbed Lisa by the hair, and lifted her up.

Lisa grabbed his wrist in anguish and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

I'll only ask you one question.

A deep, muffled voice came from inside the raven mask, causing Lisa to freeze instantly, trembling as she awaited his next words.

"Who killed my men?"

The Crow Man tilted his head slightly, and his pure white crow mask looked extremely sinister and terrifying in the dim light.

"I don't know, I really don't know... I, I only asked them to kill a newcomer in the entertainment industry, I really don't know how they died!"

Lisa shook her head frantically, her teeth chattering with fear.

The Crow Man watched her silently.

A moment later, he slowly pulled a scalpel from his pocket.
