Mantis Shrimp said weakly, “Yes, the smell of the Interface Stone is everywhere.”

There were those smells everywhere. They should be able to dig them out.

Mantis Shrimp was at a loss. It was like a golden mountain was right in front of him, but an invisible wall was erected before him, preventing him from reaching it. It was really torture.

Mantis Shrimp was very distressed, and so was Su Xiaolu.

This phenomenon seemed a little illogical, but they could not find the answer.

Su Xiaolu walked around the entire town with Mantis Shrimp.

At dusk, the commoners who were working outside returned home. On the way, Su Xiaolu met many residents.

Everyone’s expression was indifferent. They were neither happy nor angry. Even the children’s expressions were numb.

Unable to find the killer was like a knife hanging over their heads. It was unnerving, but they couldn’t escape.

It was not yet dark, but there was no one in the streets.

Su Xiaolu returned to the encampment. Seeing that she had returned safely, Wang Tianan was relieved and asked, “Young Master Su, where did you go?”

“I walk around town.”

Su Xiaolu replied.

Seeing how enthusiastic Su Xiaolu was, Wang Tianan smiled and said, “Young Master Su, you’ve worked hard. Let’s eat.”

Su Xiaolu was just an outsider. Wang Tianan was very gratified that she could do this.

After dinner, Su Xiaolu continued to patrol with Wang Tianan and the others.

The few of them patrolled the entire Canger Town at night.

Su Xiaolu even flew to the roof to check. Unfortunately, the entire town was covered in darkness and she could not see anything.

Su Xiaolu returned to the team. Wang Tianan smiled and said, “Young Master Su’s Qinggong is very good.”

Wang Tianan was very happy to recruit a capable person.

It was good to have capable people.

The sky gradually brightened. It was another fruitless night.

Everyone dragged their hearts back to the encampment.

As they ate breakfast, Su Xiaolu kept thinking about it.

Logically speaking, as long as there was a trace, there should be a clue.

How could there be no clues?

Had he disappeared into thin air? But how was that possible?

It didn’t make sense. It really didn’t.

The person who disappeared last night had been found. It was a man. When his wife came to report, her eyes were red and swollen, and she choked from time to time.

It was also nighttime. She didn’t hear any sound or movement. When she opened her eyes, her husband was gone.

She looked around but couldn’t find him, so she had to accept that this disappearance was her husband’s.

Su Xiaolu frowned and put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Mantis Shrimp raised its head from the bowl. “Xiaolu, where are you going? You’re not full yet.”

“I’m going to her house to take a look. You’re coming too. I have a guess that I want you to confirm.”

Su Xiaolu picked up Mantis Shrimp and opened the door to walk out.

She walked up to the woman and said, “Take me to your house.”

The woman was stunned. Her numb emotions seemed to have been suddenly pierced. She choked and cried, “He’s gone. What’s the use of looking again? You’ve searched so many times, but you still can’t find anything.”

People died frequently in the town. Even their bones could not be found. The commoners had complaints, but they were just numb to it.

After disappearing, it was painful enough for them to report and cooperate with the investigation.

Su Xiaolu’s suggestion to take a look again was equivalent to making the woman suffer again. She could not take it and broke down.

After complaining angrily, before Su Xiaolu could react, the woman had already squatted down helplessly and sobbed with trembling shoulders.

Wang Tianan walked over and patted Su Xiaolu’s shoulder. He said softly, “Young Master Su, I’ll take you there.”

Since Su Xiaolu had such intentions, he could not disappoint her.

Even if he had to sacrifice his rest time, Wang Tianan was willing to do it.

Su Xiaolu looked at the woman who was immersed in pain and nodded at Wang Tianan.

The three of them went out and walked towards the woman’s house.

The woman’s husband’s surname was Chang. His name was Chang Erchun and he had three children. At this moment, the three children had been sent to Chang Erchun’s eldest brother, Chang Dachun’s house.

Chang Erchun’s house was now empty.

Su Xiaolu and Wang Tianan opened the door and went in.

Mantis Shrimp went towards the main room. Su Xiaolu quickly followed.

“Xiaolu, how strange. The smell of the Interface Stone at his house is so strong. It’s even stronger in this room.”

Mantis Shrimp was almost drooling when it smelled the Interface Stones in the room, but it looked around. This room was at least a few decades old, and how many years had the two worlds been fusing?

Therefore, it was impossible for there to be Interface Stones under this house.

But why was it filled with the smell of the Interface Stones?

“Young Master Su, do you have any doubts?”

Wang Tianan asked expectantly.

Su Xiaolu had been deep in thought since she came in. He wondered what she had thought of.

Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Tianan and said, “Brother Wang, to be honest, my little friend can smell a special smell. I have a guess now. I need your help to confirm it.”

Su Xiaolu suspected that the smell of the Interface Stone in the entire town was strange, so she came to Chang Erchun’s house to take a look.

What Mantis Shrimp said confirmed Su Xiaolu’s guess.

Wang Tianan was stunned for a moment before nodding repeatedly. “Young Master Su, tell me. As long as I can help, I’ll agree to anything.”

This had something to do with the case. There was no way he could shirk it.

“I want to visit everyone else’s house.”

Su Xiaolu picked up Mantis Shrimp. There was no time to lose. It was beneficial to the people to investigate as soon as possible.

Without another word, Wang Tianan left with Su Xiaolu.

Canger Town had not been peaceful for the past two months. Even during the new year.

They were arranged to station troops here once every half a year. If there was anything, they would report it. However, they were not able to report it at all. It would be half a year later before the higher-ups discovered this. At that time, no one knew how many people would be left in the entire town.

Now, even if there was a little hope, he could not miss it.

Su Xiaolu and Wang Tianan did not rest all morning. After visiting dozens of families, Su Xiaolu confirmed that the missing people were all related to the Interface Stone.

“Young Master Su, how is it?”

Wang Tianan asked expectantly. Half a day had passed today, and it would be dangerous again if the day passed.

Su Xiaolu said truthfully, “There’s a special smell in the entire town. The smell is stronger in the families where something happened. If we can find the source of the smell, we might be able to find something.”

Wang Tianan couldn’t smell anything. He looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Young Master Su, tell me, what should we do?”

“Xiaolu, get him to gather the entire town for the night. You’re humans, so you might fall for it, but I won’t. Let me see what’s going on.”

Mantis Shrimp’s cute voice sounded in Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness.

Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Tianan and repeated Mantis Shrimp’s words. She said, “Brother Wang, gather everyone together for the night. I know some medical books. I’ll make something to ensure that no one will fall asleep. Believe me, nothing will happen tonight.”
