~7 min read 1,352 words

The next morning, when Ning Chen mentioned this to Servey, Servey's face turned black.

"How did you do this?"

Servey looked at the door that had already fallen down and helplessly pinched the space between his eyebrows.

"An accident."

An accident?

Can an accident be this exaggerated?

Having lived here for so many years, I have truly never seen such an accident.

Servey sighed helplessly, "Alright, I will handle this matter."

"I will compensate you."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Servey glanced at Ning Chen, "Compensate me with you? No need! If you could say you want to marry my daughter, I might actually consider it."

After speaking, Servey realized something and hurriedly added.

"But, I do not hope my daughter will marry someone who has been divorced."

As the words fell, Servey did not wait for Ning Chen to speak.

He knew Ning Chen would not say anything, only look at him quietly like this.

For some reason, after spending time with Ning Chen recently, he felt Ning Chen possessed a steadiness born of having experienced too many things.

He sighed, "Where is that girl you brought back yesterday? Call her to come out and eat together."

That girl looked quite good, but why was there just a bit of...

A strong sense of machinery about her?

Thinking this, Servey helplessly shook his head and walked slowly towards the stairs.

Hearing Servey's words, Ning Chen walked towards the girl's room.

According to Servey, the girl was only willing to sleep in the room next to his.

He walked to the door of the next room, looked at the handle in front of him, first politely knocked three times on the door, then slowly twisted the door handle.

665 people are missing.

Crack.

Just as Ning Chen walked in, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

The person is gone.

The room was empty, not even a trace of anyone having stayed there; only the window was open, the curtains blown by the wind, constantly swaying.

He walked in, looking at the marks on the bed, as if the girl had never existed in this place.

The girl had not moved a single thing in the room.

Suddenly, an idea arose in his mind.

It is good that she is gone this way; this way he can save himself a trouble.

Just as he was thinking this and preparing to turn and leave, the system's voice suddenly rang out, "Ding, congratulations, you have successfully triggered a potential mission."

"Sato, Potential Mission One: Successfully find the little girl, help the little girl escape her predicament."

Hearing the content of this mission, Ning Chen slowly asked, "This mission really came at the right time, and it specifically told me that there is more than one potential mission here."

As the words fell, the system's helpless voice rang out, "This is something I cannot control."

Ning Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the curtains constantly swaying outside the window; he did not continue to answer the system's words.

"What's wrong? In a bad mood?"

The system suddenly asked with concern.

Ning Chen was somewhat taken aback, but slowly said, "My mood has always been like this."

After speaking, the system did not continue to say anything more.

Indeed, after binding with Ning Chen, the system had already understood what kind of person Ning Chen was.

Ning Chen walked towards the window, gently rubbing the window area with his fingertip, but found nothing.

He turned and left the room, walking down towards the floor below.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ning Chen said nothing; after washing his hands and returning, he sat at the dining table.

Servey finished serving the dishes and walked over; seeing only Ning Chen there, he immediately asked in confusion.

"Why are you the only one here? Where is that girl?"

Ning Chen picked up the chopsticks nearby, picked up the vegetables in front of him, and ate them.

"Gone."

Hearing these words, Servey's hand movements paused for a moment, but he quickly accepted this fact.

"Actually, I am very curious, where did you bring that girl from?"

Speaking, Servey ate while looking over at Ning Chen, while Ning Chen kept his head down eating.

Seeing that Ning Chen seemed willing to reveal more, Servey did not ask again.

When it was almost time to finish eating, Servey saw Ning Chen stand up and hurriedly spoke.

"By the way, my daughter is coming back in a few days; do you want to meet her? Honestly, my daughter is really beautiful."

Ning Chen had no mind to attend to matters of this sort; he had to go out again later, and most importantly, he still did not know where the girl was.

Just as he took a step forward, Servey's voice rang out again.

"Let me remind you, they are all hunting for you outside; they are all saying that you blew up the Ye Lisi headquarters."

Ning Chen's footsteps paused; suddenly the air between the two became somewhat heavy.

Although the matter was not done by his own hands, he had participated in it.

Finally, Servey broke this silence and spoke seriously.

"I just wanted to tell you to be careful when you go out; don't go out and then come back and be gone."

After speaking, Servey finished the last bit of rice in his bowl, stood up, and began clearing the remnants from the table.

"Mm."

Ning Chen gave a soft acknowledgment, went upstairs to put on his outer coat, and looked out the window; sure enough, a huge crowd of black-robed people were roaming the streets, grabbing anyone they could find.

As soon as they caught someone, those black-robed figures would immediately yank at their faces to look.

Ning Chen did not hesitate; he silently put on his hat, glanced at the height outside the window, and then jumped straight down.

Just as Servey had finished tidying up and suddenly thought of something regarding the royal family, he hurriedly rushed upstairs to find Ning Chen.

Because he had not seen Ning Chen leave through the door just now.

But when he arrived at the room where Ning Chen was, he found not a single person there.

"No way, did Ning Chen jump straight out the window?"

With doubt, he looked toward the window, seeing only a sea of black figures.

On the streets, the black-robed people were grabbing people without restraint, causing residents to dare not go out at all.

Meanwhile, after Ning Chen successfully jumped down from the lower floor, he stuck to the walls and made his way outward.

He still did not know where to find the girl; the only possible place was Ye Lisi's headquarters, so he decided to try his luck.

He only hoped that this time, he would not get dragged into other matters like last time.

Ning Chen walked down the street with his hat on and his head bowed, and the voices of the black-robed people occasionally reached his ears.

"Search more thoroughly; if Ye Lisi discovers you slacking off, you're done for."

"Aren't we searching? How could we possibly be slacking off?"

"This Ning Chen is really good at hiding!"

Ning Chen kept his head low and slowly walked past the black-robed people who were currently grabbing others.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! I don't know any Ning Chen!"

Suddenly, Ning Chen heard such a scream; he cautiously looked up and discovered several black-robed figures pulling a woman by the hand.

Beside that woman was her child.

"What Ning Chen? We just want to invite you to sit in the church for a while."

Hearing these words, Ning Chen's brows could not help but furrow.

He silently clenched his fists; at this moment, reason told him he should not get involved in these matters and should continue walking forward.

"Don't touch me! I won't go with you!"

That woman was firmly dragged forward by several black-robed figures, leaving a trail of shoe prints on the ground.

"You damned cultists! You are simply perverts!"
