Yu Fei had planned to say goodbye to Ahsan and Qingluo, as well as the rest of the villagers they knew well, and head south to find more clues about her mother. However www.biquge.info that afternoon, they learned that there had been a small accident in the village.

Some of the villagers who had gone out disappeared.

When the news reached them with a vague sense of unease, it was believed that the four men who had disappeared in the first place had been six days since they had gone out hunting.

They may not be the only ones who have lost contact. The youkai named Ula went out to play four days ago and has not returned. Three days earlier, two other villagers had gone out hunting and had not returned – which is not necessarily indicative given that they often went out hunting for three or four days. Until the day before yesterday, Qingluo, who had a close relationship with them, left the village alone, saying that she was going to find Ulla's whereabouts, but she lost the clue.

There are very few dangerous creatures in the vicinity of Lily of the Valley Village, and there are no so-called natural predators for these monsters. But the series of incidents added together made the villagers a little worried. Formed by a black bear and with some prestige in the village, Yan Bo gathered everyone to discuss the next course of action. As members of the village, Yuffie and Lin also attended the meeting.

The rally itself has little meaning. The monsters were clamoring and clamoring, and they couldn't come up with any concrete and feasible solutions. It's just one thing they all mentioned that caught Yuffie's attention.

-- In the past few days, many people have had nightmares when they sleep at night. The content of the nightmare varies and seems to be related to everyone's experience. The dreamer does not wake up from the contents of the dream, but when he wakes up in the morning, he feels slightly more tired than usual.

She does not need to sleep, even if she rests in the form of meditation, and does not fall into dreams; Lynn's mental resistance was strong enough to withstand weaker psychic attacks, and it was just as effective when she was asleep, and neither of them was able to confirm this in person. But the villagers' descriptions don't look like fakes either, and she and Lin discuss it for a moment and decide to start investigating from here.

"Speaking of which, where's your Ahsan?" Although she didn't expect help from the other party, she still asked, "I haven't seen him in two weeks." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Yan Bo waved his hand, as if he was used to it, "He goes out a lot, anyway, there is nothing big here." If something happens, he'll definitely come back and fix it. ”

"That's right, that's right." Another younger youkai answered, "Ahsan, he's amazing, don't worry about him!" ”

Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I'm not worried about him." She complained in a low voice, "Such an irresponsible Ahsan, you can go wherever you like." ”

"Well, let's do something about it." Yuffie understood where his friend's grievances were coming from, so he softly shifted the subject, "Regarding the disappearance of the villagers, please leave it to us to investigate." ”

The girl's proposal was approved by most of the youkai. The strength shown by the two during this period of time has long been seen by the villagers. There are even rumors that one of them will become the next Ahsan of the village. Of course, none of them had the intention of doing so.

The crowd soon dispersed and returned to their normal daily lives. However, many villagers brought them dried fruits or snacks that they had made themselves, saying that they would use them as dry food on the road. Considering that the missing youkai may not have eaten for days, they gladly accepted the easy-to-carry food.

Late that night, when most of the villagers had already gone to sleep, the two packed their simple luggage and went to the entrance of the village.

At night, Lily of the Valley Village is as quiet as ever, due to the deterrence of the monsters, insects are rarely heard here, and ordinary birds and beasts are not seen. They carefully took out the materials they had prepared and assembled them into a simple arcane device at the entrance of the village.

This is the harvest from making the antidote with Vanka - a probe for the spirit world. Yuffie believes that if the villagers' nightmares are from the outside world, then their source should be the same as the spiritual network, which can be captured by this device.

As it turned out, she was right, and the device didn't disappoint them. Around the wee hours of the morning, the two confirmed their target this time.

The captured spiritual fluctuations came from the northeast of the village, a vast forest where villagers often went to hunt or gather the fruits of trees. Because of the distance, the fluctuations had become quite faint by the time they reached the village—just enough to make the more spirit-sensitive youkai have a few nightmares.

Lynn summoned Grace the Griffon, who carried the two of them, closer in the direction the probe had shown. They flew through the jungle at night, the 'Tess' above them still clear on the continent, and the silvery-white light flowed past the two of them, submerging into the shadows of the trees. Yuffie closed his eyes, feeling the cool night breeze and the faint but fresh magic that it contained - it came from due east, unfettered, as if his heart were trembling slightly.

Maybe tonight, another youkai will be born nearby. And more of this is happening in every corner of the continent. This uncertain, implying cycle of life and creation, is probably the allure of the Far East.

"Wake up, we're here." Lynn's voice interrupted her thoughts. There was a slight feeling of weightlessness in her body, and it was Grace who was spreading her wings and gliding slowly down in altitude.

Yuffie opened his eyes and saw that they had flown over the dense jungle, a low undergrowth and a slightly dark hole not far away. Without relying on the instruments anymore, she could perceive that a trace of mental fluctuations, which were still very faint, were slowly escaping from the hole. The wisp of magic divided into many extremely thin lines, stretching into the distance to the south, perhaps where the village was located.

"This is it...... Is it? Lin spread her wings first and flew down to the front of the cave, carefully sensing the magic coming from it, and her voice was a little uncertain, "There doesn't seem to be any malice...... Moreover, if you can make those villagers disappear, your strength won't be so weak, right? ”

"It's better to be careful." Yuffie slid from Grace's back to the ground and walked briskly, looking inside the dark cavern, "Psychic spells are often difficult to detect, and by the time they do, it's often too late. ”

Lynn nodded in agreement, retracted Grace into the half-plane of the arcane spirit, lit a ball of light in her palm, and walked with her into the cave in front of her.
