162. Chapter 162: Showdown, We Can All Read Minds

In fact, during the time Luo Xizhou and Luo Xinian were frantically searching for their sister, Yan Yu also discovered that the situation had turned dire.

Because he could no longer sense Luo Xixi's presence.

Damn it!

Why couldn't he sense her?

Could Xixi have been taken away by some faction?!

Encountering such a thorny issue, Yan Yu's first instinct was to contact Mijia, wanting Mijia to step in and find Luo Xixi's whereabouts, but after trying for a long time, Mijia did not respond to his contact requests.

This nearly drove Yan Yu mad with rage.

And just at this moment.

A call from Luo Xinian also came through.

Seeing the name Luo Xinian on the caller ID, although Yan Yu was currently too irritable to deal with these people, because they were the brothers Luo Xixi valued so much, Yan Yu suppressed the irritation in his heart and answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Yan Yu! It's me, Luo Xinian!!"

Luo Xinian didn't waste words and went straight to the point: "Xixi is gone. We can't find her anywhere. We just checked the hotel surveillance and found that she seemed to have vanished into thin air. Do you have any leads?"

Yan Yu said in a deep voice: "I am also looking for Xixi, but I don't have any leads at the moment either."

"Even you don't?"

Luo Xinian's hopes were dashed, and he fell into a state of despondency.

At this time.

Luo Xizhou took the phone from his younger brother's hand and said calmly to Yan Yu: "Mr. Yan, hello, I am Luo Xizhou. Where are you right now? Can we meet and talk in person?"

Yan Yu couldn't reach Mijia and could only wait idly. Hearing that Luo Xizhou wanted to talk, he had no reason to refuse and agreed: "Fine, where should we talk?"

"We are currently at the Peace Hotel. There is a teahouse on the second floor; let's talk there."

"Fine, I'm coming over now."

Yan Yu hadn't gone far to begin with.

Less than five minutes later.

The group met at the teahouse.

Seeing that Yan Yu's attire was exactly the same as the man in the surveillance footage, Luo Xinian was still a bit suspicious, his eyes darting over the man's face a few more times.

Strange.

How could Yan Yu be dressed the same as the person in the surveillance?

However, the person in the surveillance didn't look like him. Was it just a coincidental match in clothing?

Luo Xinian harbored doubts in his heart but didn't ask. Luo Xizhou, however, was more direct. He asked: "We saw Xixi meet a man outside the restroom in the surveillance footage earlier. That person was dressed exactly like you, Mr. Yan. The man who met Xixi earlier—could it be you, Mr. Yan?"

"!!!!!"

Hearing his older brother ask so directly, Luo Xinian's eyes widened immediately.

Second Brother.

Isn't that a bit too blunt?!

At this point, Yan Yu didn't want to hide anything anymore.

The plot had completely collapsed.

The Transmigrators were in chaos, all backed by the Chief System. This world was beyond saving, so Yan Yu didn't care about rules or taboos anymore. He calmly admitted it and said: "Yes, the one who met Xixi earlier was me."

"It really was you!"

Luo Xinian was surprised. He looked at Yan Yu and asked in confusion: "But the face we saw in the surveillance earlier wasn't the one you have now. Teacher Yan, can you also perform facial disguise?"

"You can just assume I know how to disguise myself."

A skill like changing one's appearance was hard to explain through science.

Luo Xinian: "..."

What does "just assume" mean?

"It seems Mr. Yan possesses some incredible powers. Now that Xixi has gone missing, but based on the movement trajectory in the surveillance, it is impossible for her to have completely evaded the cameras. Since we can't find her now, is it because some magical power took her away?"

Luo Xizhou's analytical ability was very strong; he grasped the key point immediately.

"Yes."

Yan Yu admitted: "I cannot sense her presence in this world anymore. She must have been taken away by someone."

"So it is as I thought. Is it that hostile system faction?"

Luo Xizhou's words were startling; he mentioned the system directly.

"..."

Yan Yu's gaze flickered. He looked at Luo Xizhou with some surprise and said: "You actually know about the system? Did Xixi tell you?"

Luo Xizhou shook his head and said: "You Transmigrators aren't allowed to discuss topics related to the system, right? How could Xixi possibly tell me? Everything is in chaos now, so I have nothing to hide. Actually, I can read Xixi's inner thoughts, so I know that Xixi has been running around busily for these years, circling me, all to save the eldest brother and that system of hers."

"You can actually read minds?"

Yan Yu was surprised. No wonder Xixi had "conquered" this man so quickly; it was because Luo Xizhou had opened the god's-eye view!

And upon hearing the words "read minds," Luo Xinian was even more agitated than Yan Yu.

He widened his eyes and said to his brother: "Second Brother, you can also read Luo Xixi's mind? I can too! Ever since that girl returned to the Luo Family, I've been able to hear her inner voice!"

"So it really is like that..."

Hearing his younger brother say he could read minds, Luo Xizhou wasn't too surprised. When he had returned earlier, he had felt that their parents seemed to know something. If so many people in their family could read minds, perhaps everyone had this ability.

It was just that because the priority was to have his sister "conquer" him quickly, Luo Xizhou hadn't discussed this with the others in the family. He had originally intended to probe after everything settled down, but who would have thought such a thing would happen.

"Can you all read Xixi's inner voice?"

Hearing Luo Xinian's tone, Yan Yu knew that this kid could also read Xixi's mind; however, this made everything make sense, and it was no wonder Xixi had been able to win over the Luo Family members one after another even while slacking off—it turned out this group of people all possessed the skill of mind-reading.

But Yan Yu did not think this was any special skill of Xixi's; he estimated it was still Mijia playing tricks, hoping to allow Xixi's Baby System to complete its mission smoothly.

"Yeah, it seems our whole family can read it."

Luo Xinian had also thought of this point, but he was still very irritable and said, "But now that she isn't here, what use is mind-reading? What should we do now? How exactly are we supposed to find Xixi?"

"Since you all can read minds, you probably already know the ins and outs of the whole matter from that girl's inner voice."

Yan Yu also saved himself the time of introducing the worldview to the Luo brothers again, and he said directly, "The ones who took Xixi away are most likely a hostile system faction, but I don't have the ability to contend with the opposing Chief System; I can only first find the Chief System on our side and have it step in to help, but the problem is, I can't contact it right now—it seems something must have happened on its end too."

"What? If that Chief System has also run into trouble, what will happen to Xixi?"

Luo Xinian asked nervously.

He actually didn't care about any Chief System at all, but he wanted his younger sister to come back immediately!

Yan Yu's expression sank, and he frowned as he said, "If that's really the case, let alone Xixi, I reckon all of us are finished."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The atmosphere among the group suddenly became heavy.
