She half-bowed her head and looked at the light gray floor, her eyes gradually turning cold.

The video conference still couldn't be dialed, and the auction was still going on, and the discussion of the people below could be faintly heard.

"Midori."

Cheng Jinghuan suddenly muttered.

The "jade bracelet" hidden under the sleeve emits a little white light.

Xiao Lu woke up from his ignorance, [Master? 】

[Can you unlock the outside lock?] Cheng Jinghuan's voice was calm, with an indescribable sense of slowness.

Time seemed to be pulled very slowly, very slowly at this moment.

Xiao Lu's cute voice sounded in her head: [I'll try~]

Almost transparent vines crept out, through the narrow gap, and landed on the keyhole.

Piercing in, the sharp vines broke the keyhole, and with a click, the door opened.

[Master, it's on~] Xiao Lu said very lively.

Cheng Jinghuan responded, and he didn't care about appeasing the little guy who was woken up by himself, and quickly went out.

Midori rubbed her wrists, wrapped around her wrists softly, pressed against her skin, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Cheng Jinghuan pulled his sleeves and covered Xiao Lu who was asleep.

She remembered Zhao Yuanyuan's box number, so as soon as she went out, she went straight to her box.

When he was about to walk, the door of the box next to Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly opened.

Cheng Jinghuan immediately looked over vigilantly, only to see L wearing a mask standing at the door.

He seemed a little surprised to see her, and nodded at her slightly.

Cheng Jinghuan replied with a "Mr. L", and after finishing speaking, he walked to the door of Zhao Yuanyuan's box and knocked on the door.

"Yuanyuan?"

There was no sound inside.

Cheng Jinghuan looked down at the door lock and found that the door lock of this box was not locked, which was different from what Yuan Yuan just said.

Seeing this, L next to him took the initiative to say, "I heard a voice in this box just now, so I came out to take a look." ”

"When?" Cheng Jinghuan turned his head to look at L and asked.

L recalled, "Five minutes ago. ”

Cheng Jinghuan thanked him and pushed the door open directly.

There was a little coldness in the box, it was empty, and there was no figure of Zhao Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan?"

Cheng Jinghuan shouted loudly while looking for it, but there was no one in the entire box.

L stood in the doorway, his brow furrowed under his mask.

Cheng Jinghuan pursed his lips and turned to look at him, his eyes faintly red, "Mr. L, what voice did you hear?"

"It's like the sound of people being dragged around." L said in a deep voice, "Your partner may have been taken by someone. ”

Cheng Jinghuan thanked him, and contacted Jiang and Pei Peiyi to ask if Yuanyuan had sent them a message.

Jiang and Pei Peiyi quickly replied to the message.

Zhao Yuanyuan did not contact them, and they had only just learned that she was missing.

After Cheng Jinghuan got the answer, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Since someone took Yuanyuan away, then they must have their own purpose.

It will definitely leave a mark here as well.

She walked over to the table and looked left and right to see something shiny at the foot of the table.

She squatted down and picked up the dregs about the size of a soybean, and felt it carefully, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Phantom Stone......

It turned out to be a phantom stone.

She looked up at L not far away, her eyes like torches.

"Mr. L, who else but you will mine the Phantom Stone?"

L's brow furrowed even tighter, "Some big mercenary groups will go to mine. ”

"Does that mean there are a lot of people who will go to mine?" Cheng Jinghuan pinched the small phantom cloud stone and stood up, "There is a phantom cloud stone here." ”

"It should have been the group that stayed."

She took two steps forward and stopped half a meter away from L.

His eyes stared straight at L, as if he wanted to see through the mask to see his truest expression.

L's eyes drooped slightly, as if he knew what she was thinking, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll help you find her." ”

"Phantom Stones are only found on that cliff in the Forest of Evil."

"Although all the major mercenary groups have mined, this year, in addition to the Flame Mercenary Group, only the Eagle Mercenary Group has mined."

Cheng Jinghuan's eyes lit up, "Do you think it was the people of the Eagle Mercenary Group who took Yuanyuan away?" ”

"I can take you to them." L said.

"Okay, let's go now." Cheng Jinghuan immediately said.

She posted a message on the team's channel, and then followed L to the Eagle Mercenary Regiment.

But they came a little late.

The people of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment are not in their base.

L caught a janitor, only to learn that just ten minutes ago, the leader of their mercenary group had entered the Forest of Evil with a group of people.

When Cheng Jinghuan heard this, he immediately asked, "Is there anyone else besides the people of your mercenary group?" ”

"Like a cute girl with short hair?"

The man was grabbed by L and recalled tremblingly, "Okay...... There seems to be. ”

"It's Yuanyuan!" Cheng Jinghuan said affirmatively.

She looked at L and said firmly, "I'm going into the Forest of Evil." ”

L did not hesitate and responded, "I'll accompany you in." ”

Cheng Jinghuan pursed his lips, "Actually, you don't have to accompany me ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by L.

"I'm more familiar with the Forest of Evil than you are."

These words successfully persuaded Cheng Jinghuan.

She whispered a thank you, and then said:

"Let's go to the cliff first."

The two of them soon entered the Forest of Evil, and L walked in front, tall, and the clouds and mist lingered around him, blurring his figure.

Cheng Jinghuan quickened his pace, walked to his side, and said in a low voice: "The fog is too big." ”

"Follow me." L's voice was a little cooler.

The voice that was not deliberately suppressed was a little more cold, and between the hazy clouds and mist, it was like Lu Shinian.

Such a thought inexplicably rose in Cheng Jinghuan's mind, and his eyes looked at L with a little more doubt.

L didn't notice the change in her eyes and walked straight ahead.

Half an hour later, they came to the vicinity of the cliff.

When he was far away, Cheng Jinghuan heard a rough voice.

"Are you ready?"

Someone is answering.

"Ready, will you throw this girl down now?"

"Wait a minute."

The gruff voice seemed to be tinkering with something, and it seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.

He deliberately lowered his voice, so he couldn't hear it very clearly.

But Cheng Jinghuan had a gut feeling that they must be playing a bad idea.

"Yuanyuan." Cheng Jinghuan silently made a gesture towards L.

L nodded, pressed her shoulder, stood up on his own, and walked out.

The clouds seemed to slowly lift, and his figure appeared in front of the Eagle Mercenary Group.

The boss of the Eagle Mercenary Group was stunned for a moment when he saw L.

With such a big fog, this Flame Mercenary Group is still here?

"Blazing, this place is covered by our Eagle Mercenary Regiment."

The Eagle Boss said loudly.

The voice came into Cheng Jinghuan's ears, and she leaned over, taking advantage of the trees and clouds to get closer to Yuanyuan, which was guarded by others.
