Upon entering, a very ordinary house came into view.
It was empty inside; there was no one there, and not even a sound.
Jian Luo swallowed hard, crouched down, and cautiously moved forward step by step.
As he passed by Wang Canxin's room, he curiously peeked inside.
The interior was as ordinary as ever, except for the few bottles of medication for mental health issues on the bedside table.
He didn't pay much attention to continuing the exploration.
"Strange... Where is Commander Wang?"
Just as he was getting curious, a noise suddenly came from the study next door, which startled him so much that he quickly hid behind a cabinet.
Wang Canxin rubbed his eyes as he came out of the study, and walked wearily to a corner of the living room, where he slowly lifted the carpet.
He then took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the door, and climbed into the basement under Jian Luo's watchful gaze.
"Holy crap, something's really wrong!"
Jian Luo was startled. After the other person went downstairs, she quickly opened the basement door and followed them inside.
Climbing the rusty iron ladder slowly forward, a basement that looked like a storage room for miscellaneous items came into view.
Perhaps due to his special ability, several large objects happened to be blocking his way, preventing Wang Canxin from noticing him.
Jian Luo pressed her body tightly against the back of the box, slowly peeking out half of her head to look at Wang Canxin.
Wang Canxin slowly walked to a huge object covered by a black cloth.
He sighed with a complicated expression and reached out to grab a corner of the black cloth.
Whoosh--
The black cloth was pulled back, and when Jian Luo saw the items underneath, her pupils suddenly contracted.
A disgusting creature, cylindrical in shape and made entirely of stone, but with a bizarre head at its top, slowly opened its eyes and stared at Wang Canxin.
" Variant! There's Variant in Commander Wang's basement!"
Jian Luo was utterly shocked, and at the same time, she felt a wave of fear.
The only organization in this world that can safely maintain friendly relations with Variant is the Light God Society.
So he naturally knew Wang Canxin's identity, but the other party was a candidate for Commander-in-Chief!
The Light God Society has actually reached such a high position; just how much information do they have about the Night Star?
"Yay~ You're here! I was just getting hungry~"
The enormous head emitted a disgusting sound and grinned at Wang Canxin.
"The last prophecy was correct; now give me another prophecy about the next major event."
Wang Canxin looked up at the other person, his eyes showing no panic or other emotion.
"Hehehe, okay~ But this time I don't want to eat too much, I just want to eat the good stuff~"
Wang Canxing frowned slightly.
"I want... a human at the ' Ten Thousand Stars ' level!"
After saying that, it greedily licked its lips, as if eagerly anticipating that delicious treat.
Jian Luo, who was eavesdropping nearby, had a pounding heart and her brain was frantically processing the complex information she had just heard.
Prophecy, cannibalism, and ' Ten Thousand Stars '?
Moreover, it seems that Wang Canxin would provide it, which is such a heinous thing to do!
Jian Luo couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out from behind the box.
" Commander Wang! Explain yourself!"
He drew his gun with one hand, aimed it at Wang Canxin, and gripped the hilt of his knife at his waist with the other.
Faced with a realm that only has ' High Rank ' and the Variant behind it that doesn't seem to have much combat power, Jian Luo is confident that she can defeat it.
Besides, even if that Variant is truly capable, my own abilities could allow me to escape.
Even worse, if he's unlucky and actually dies, the Night Star will definitely notice.
Compared to their own Life, eliminating a high-risk undercover agent for the Night Star was absolutely worthwhile!
"There's someone here!"
The large-headed Variant behind him exclaimed in surprise, its whole body trembling after anticipating the opponent's strength.
In contrast, Wang Canxin remained much calmer, slowly turning his head to face Jian Luo.
Do you want an explanation?
"Of course, you can choose not to explain, and I'll send you flying right now!"
A flash of silver light appeared at his waist, and he gripped a gleaming straight sword in his hand.
Wang Canxin stared at the other person, and after a moment, slowly opened his mouth.
"All of this..."
Ugh--
Hela sat in the window seat, resting her head against the glass, listening to the faint hum of the planes outside.
Next to her sat Tuote, who was intently writing something in his notebook while wearing eye patches.
How much longer?
"About two hours."
Tuote turned the page lightly, speaking without looking up.
"Oh."
Hela nodded. "What's the date today?"
January 8th.
Hela blinked. "There's still over a month until March 9th. What do you think we should do?"
"Has Aidan not been found yet?"
Tuote closed his notebook and turned to look at Hela.
No, do you have his contact information?
The latter shook his head regretfully, "In the past five years, I've tried to contact him, but no matter what I do, I haven't been able to reach him."
"Perhaps he, like me, used some method to change his identity, but I really didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to find him."
Recalling Aidan's talent for playing games, Tuote couldn't fathom how he had managed to remain undetected by someone who stood at the forefront of human endeavors.
"But he also said he would come to see you. We caused such a commotion, he must know you're back."
"Hmm." Hela nodded gently. "So, what are we going to do in Aketan?"
Tuote pondered for a moment, "Let's go to the capital first, and then find a permanent foothold there."
"While we wait, we try to find out information about Aidan."
"Okay, that's settled."
Hela pressed her head against the glass again, gazing at the white clouds that kept drifting past her.
A few hours later.
The plane slowly landed at the airport, Hela and her two companions carried their luggage as they slowly disembarked.
Then they went to the airport and walked out.
"I've taken two flights in less than a month."
Thinking back to her initial experience in Russia, Hela couldn't help but sigh.
"Really? That's great."
Tuote smiled and nodded, then hailed a taxi and all the passengers got in.
"To the capital, thank you."
"Okay!"
The dark-skinned driver, speaking fluent Atan Language, stepped on the gas and drove towards the capital.
"Our airport is still a bit far from the capital, so it's probably going to be quite a long wait."
Tuote, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke to the two beautiful girls in the back.
"Oh, that's alright. I can take a nap; I couldn't sleep on the plane because of tinnitus."
Weier smiled sweetly, leaned back in her seat, and slowly closed her eyes.
Tuote gazed at the other person, a hint of doting flashing in his eyes.
Hela ate her dog food expressionlessly, resting her head against the glass and looking at the surrounding scenery.
