Chapter 327: The Mysterious Disappearance Incident of the Citizens of the City of God
Watching the crowd singing and dancing, Ye Lin smiled and walked up to them.
No one rejected him; some even took the initiative to pull Ye Lin into the dance, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
During this time, someone noticed Ye Lin looked unfamiliar and asked for his name.
Ye Lin was not one to change his name or surname, so he naturally told them his name was Xie Hong.
The karma of the City of God was too great for a small fry like him to bear, but Xie Hong was one of the heads of the Five Great Families; he would certainly have no problem carrying it.
The crowd was too busy dancing, and no one noticed that the flickering bonfire had changed from orange-red to an eerie purplish-red at some point.
Just as the crowd was dancing with abandon and feeling incredibly excited, the bonfire seemed to grow excited along with them, suddenly exploding into flames and swallowing everyone present!
Fire soared into the sky, and many monsters and humans let out screams as they were consumed by the flames.
Ye Lin wove through the inferno, shouting "Good brother!" with every mouthful and using Endless Devour with every hand.
【Devoured Level 18 monster *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and a trace of extremely thin Dragon bloodline;】
【Increased lifespan by 128 years, 180 experience points, 1 point of Strength, 0 points of Agility, 2 points of Spirit.】
【Devoured ordinary human *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and a small amount of trace elements;】
【Increased lifespan by 60 years.】
【Devoured Level 59 class-advancer *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and a small amount of trace elements;】
【Increased lifespan by 18 years, obtained 590 experience points, 5 points of Strength, 8 points of Agility, 5 points of Spirit.】
【Devoured unspeakable creature fragments *18, obtained???】
【Increased experience points by 150, 00, increased Strength by 900 points, Agility by 888 points, and Spirit by 1, 60 points.】
After devouring the eerie things inside these eighteen living beings, Ye Lin's level instantly rose by one, reaching Level 69; the last time he leveled up this quickly was when he was fleecing the Human Emperor in the Mountain and Sea Immortal Demon Cave.
"Wonderful!"
After finishing this job, Ye Lin immediately slipped away; the commotion here would surely attract others soon, and he wasn't stupid enough to stay here and wait to be caught.
Ye Lin was in a hurry to go pull off the next job!
Just in case, Ye Lin directly used his third class talent to start creating a forbidden spell; he would get another chance to create a forbidden spell once he reached Level 70 anyway.
The top priority now was to find a way to leave the City of God; otherwise, it would be troublesome if he were blocked by Si Sui or that human powerhouse in the Bright Moon Realm.
"Generate a forbidden spell that, at any cost, can instantly teleport an object to a designated location."
【According to your requirements, a Space-type forbidden spell is now being generated for you.】
【Forbidden Spell—Spacetime Wormhole: The Forbidden Spellcaster sacrifices life force to open a spacetime wormhole, teleporting an object to a designated location.】
【Note: The larger the volume of the object and the further the distance, the more life force is required. This forbidden spell may cause the Forbidden Spellcaster to die instantly. Please use with caution. Confirm generation?】
【Confirm generation?】
"Confirm!"
After generating this forbidden spell, Ye Lin immediately gave it a try.
"Forbidden Spell—Spacetime Wormhole!"
The space in front of Ye Lin seemed to be torn apart instantly by an invisible force, and a vortex-shaped spatial channel slowly formed, with pitch-black spacetime rifts flickering within the pure white light.
On the other side of the wormhole was none other than Ye Lin's home in the slums of Qingcheng.
Feeling his life force draining rapidly, Ye Lin was secretly alarmed; if not for his Undying Body, he would likely have died instantly from opening a spacetime wormhole to Qingcheng.
Ye Lin cut off a finger and threw it through.
The finger twisted and even turned into a spiral shape inside the wormhole, but it eventually passed through successfully and landed in his home in the Qingcheng slums.
After doing all this, Ye Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only with a retreat path could he feel at ease while causing trouble.
Anyway, the Great Sumeru Ring and the Imperial Gold Spear were in the hands of his clone in that small wooden hut; even if this main body were lost, he would only lose his Illusion Face and Voice-Changing Cicada.
He could just go find Qiu Xingyuan at Gui Street and have him refine another set for him later.
"Hehe, ladies and gentlemen of the City of God, I'm fucking here~"
Ye Lin excitedly slipped into the darkness and began his journey of trickery and deception; in his eyes, these people in the City of God were all walking experience points.
And the events in the City of God soon caught Si Sui's attention.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the bonfire from earlier; the fire had completely extinguished, leaving only a few charred logs emitting wisps of white smoke.
"20 people have gone missing... what on earth happened..."
Si Sui frowned; the City of God had never had such a massive disappearance event before, and these missing people were nowhere to be found, dead or alive.
More importantly, the things inside their bodies had also vanished, which made Si Sui feel uneasy.
In this City of God, how could anyone be capable of cleaning that thing out so thoroughly?
"Could it be... that Ye Lin?"
Si Sui immediately suspected Ye Lin, because during this period, Ye Lin was the only new face in the entire City of God.
In an instant, Si Sui vanished from where he stood, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the small wooden hut where Ye Lin was staying.
He walked up, his body merging into the wooden door like a puddle of water; the next second, Si Sui passed through the barrier of the door and arrived at Ye Lin's bedside, staring fixedly at him.
Ye Lin was covered by a quilt, sleeping soundly, with even a strand of glistening drool hanging onto his pillow.
This made Si Sui's brow furrow slightly.
Not him? But if it wasn't him, who else could it be?
Si Sui left the wooden hut and returned outside, where a black shadow condensed into a human shape from the darkness like a puddle of liquid.
"Lord Si Sui."
"Has this Ye Lin left the hut today?" Si Sui asked the black shadow.
"Reporting to my lord, no."
"Then who has he met?" Si Sui continued to press.
"He only met one person, Xi You'ai, saying he had a big treasure to show her, but he didn't take it out in the end."
"A big treasure?" Si Sui was full of doubt. "Alright, you may go; continue to monitor this place."
Afterward, he walked up and knocked on Ye Lin's door.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and Ye Lin's clone looked at Si Sui with sleepy eyes.
"Oh, it's you, Si Sui. Is there something the matter in the middle of the night? Are you inviting me for a night tour of the Chengtian Temple?"
"Nothing much, just came to check on you. How is it, are you getting used to living here?" Si Sui asked with a smile.
"It's quite good, though it would be even better if I hadn't been woken up by you." Ye Lin yawned.
"Apologies, I came to find you in the middle of the night because of a small matter."
Si Sui subconsciously scanned Ye Lin's body, continuing to ask in his usual gentle voice.
"Are you hungry? Want a late-night snack? How about some fried chicken or skewers?"
