Chapter 572: Opportunity to steal a home

 “Oh? What did you see?”

Mu You looked at the woman wearing a wizard's robe in front of him.

　　When he brought Katarina back to Eternal Night City, she was only level 1, and just a few days later, she had already reached level 14. Thanks to the complete leveling system in Sky City, the support of Mu You's evolution potion, and the dedicated training of a group of vampires, her level progress was rapid.

"I saw you standing next to a corpse...you and someone...walked into the space crack together..." Catalina said in a dazed voice, sounding as if she was talking nonsense.

However, Mu You, who had personally experienced the power of the Shining in the City of Enoch, knew that this was not a dream, but a real prophecy.

"Corpse? Space crack? Who is that person?" Mu You asked with a frown.

Prophecies are prophecies, but this kind of information that has no beginning and no end and is fragmented is too difficult to guess.

“I don't know him. The person standing next to you in the picture is a short, white-faced boy...” Catalina said.

“Herb collector?” Mu You and Xiaoya looked at each other and instinctively thought of the herb collector.

“Then what? Whose body are we standing in front of? Did we kill this person?” Mu You continued to ask.

"I don't know..." Catalina shook her head: "The picture was very blurry and I couldn't see clearly what the corpse looked like. I only saw that the two of you didn't pay too much attention to the corpse, but looked behind you intently. That space crack on the mountain wall..."

 “Space cracks…” Mu You was a little confused when he heard this.

They killed someone and then entered a dimensional rift?

The only space crack he knows about now is the one discovered in Japan during the Shadow Ghost incident, but that crack will not open again until at least half a year...

Moreover, the key question is why did they walk into the space rift? Space cracks connect areas of the Star Spirit Realm. If they enter the Star Spirit World through the Space Crack, it will at most help them get rid of the shackles of the door and stay in the Star Spirit Realm for a long time. In the final analysis, it will save some lifespan. Is this kind of thing worth asking the two of them to go out in person?

“What's the environment like near the crack?” Mu You thought for a while and asked.

"I only saw hanging stalagmites and patches of stalactites...the feeling of moisture...the icicles hanging upside down on the rock wall...the sound of the sea current..." Catalina continued her speech like a magician.

"Stalactites? Space cracks underground?" Mu You tried hard to extract the key words in her words. Stalagmites and milkstones are generally formed in underground caves, and icicles can also be seen, indicating that they must be located in a place with a severe cold climate.

 “What else? What else did you see?” Mu You asked.

"I also saw you sitting cross-legged in a dark stone room, closing your eyes, and entering another body..."

 “Enter...another body?” Mu You looked strange.

He can switch to the perspective of the clone in the same plane, but he only sees the scene of the clone, which is different from 'entering the body'...

 “Is there anything else?”

 “No more, there are only these two pictures...” Catalina said.

Mu You fell into deep thought. Let's not mention the second scene about entering other people's bodies. The main question now is where the space crack is and why he entered the space crack...

At this time, Lin Xue, who had been watching the conversation between the two, walked from the side and whispered to Mu You: "Do you still remember, Taurus?"

 “You mean the Lord of the Abyss?” Mu You looked at her.

 “No, I mean the original Taurus.” Lin Xue said.

“Isn't the original Taurus already dead?” Mu Youyou said.

The original Taurus naturally refers to the former president of the Illuminati, whose ID was "Li Shi", but this person died a few months ago, and he happened to die in the hands of Mu You.

"I know, but where is this man's body? How did his ring end up in the hands of the current Taurus?" Lin Xue reminded.

"This..." Mu You was startled, but he quickly realized what she meant.

It is true that he killed the president of the Illuminati with his own hands, but he did not see the scene of his death with his own eyes, because at that time the man had already opened the teleportation scroll and successfully escaped through blood teleportation. Mu You escaped through the witch doctor. The cursed doll created at the last moment killed the opponent with a long-range curse.

 From the time the other party teleports away to the time the other party dies, it only takes one or two seconds. In such a short time, the other party should still be within the scope of the earth.

And now Taurus, the Lord of the Abyss, seems to be trapped somewhere under the abyss, unable to escape.

So the question is, how did the Lord of the Abyss, who was under the abyss of the Star Spirit Realm, get the ring of the Taurus that died on the earth?

 The only possibility is that there is a passage leading directly to the abyss on the earth!

Combined with Catalina's prediction just now, the answer is already obvious...

Mu You took a breath and finally understood the meaning of the prophecy.

 Obviously the corpse in the prophecy was the corpse of the president of the Illuminati, and the space crack they entered was a crack leading straight to the abyss.

　　Presumably the president of the Illuminati has discovered this crack a long time ago and deliberately positioned the teleportation point there so that in an emergency, he can teleport through it and then escape to the star spirit world for refuge through the crack.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the other end of the crack was connected to the abyss. With his level and strength at the time, he probably wouldn't be able to survive in the abyss. Moreover, Mu You didn't give him a chance to pass through the crack. As soon as the opponent teleported over, he was killed by his long-range curse.

It is true that they are not interested in the body of the Illuminati president now. The purpose of him and the herbal collector must be that crack.

 As long as they pass through that crack, they can bypass the blockade of the mechanical battleship and reach the inside of the abyss!

 Now the robots are almost out in force, and even the warships staying in their hometowns are staying above the abyss. The Garden of Eden is at the time when its military strength is at its lowest... There is no doubt that this is an excellent opportunity to steal a home!

The remaining question now is, how to find the location of this space rift?

Just when the robot army in Rainbow City was retreating steadily.

 Eden, in the central control room.

 “It is detected that the situation on the frontline has deteriorated, the Fool joins the battle, and the winning rate is recalculated…”

“It is impossible to calculate, there are too many influencing factors, and energy is excessively invested in the war. The energy in the Garden of Eden is tight, and the computing power cannot support it..."

“Estimates show that without energy replenishment, Eden's life support system will be forced to shut down in 27 days and 6 hours…”

 “Initiate the No. 2 energy crisis plan.”

“Command 1: Restart the dormant area and prepare for the input of living energy...”

“Instruction 1 has been loaded, success rate: 100%.”

“Instruction 2: Issue compromise, persuasion, and decision-making instructions to all creatures in the Garden of Eden. Individuals of all races who are over 100 years old will start the dormancy program in advance..."

“Command 2 has been loaded, estimated success rate: 97.1%, may encounter some resistance.”

“Enforced enforcement, for disobedient individuals, the scope of dormancy will be expanded to the entire corresponding race...”

 “Start execution and estimate to complete within two days…”

 Half a day later, somewhere in the Eden Robot territory.   An old panda man was holding a cane and standing in front of a care building, pacing anxiously.

After waiting for about half an hour, the iron door in front finally opened, and two robots escorted a panda girl out.

“According to Host Law No. 47564, bail procedures will be implemented for No. AY7463, Panda Chunli.”

As one of the robots broadcast, the other robot let go of the girl in custody.

The panda girl, who was in a half-asleep state, subconsciously walked forward, but her steps were sloppy. She staggered and almost fell after taking only two steps, but was caught by the old panda in time.

"As the guarantor, you must ensure that Chunli the Pandaren will not violate any Eden regulations during the parole period, otherwise it will be converted to permanent imprisonment." The robot read out expressionlessly.

“I understand, I have caused trouble to you, I will educate her...”

The old panda man apologized to the two robots, and then hurriedly helped Chunli, who was confused, to leave the vicinity.

It wasn't until she left the mechanical area that Chunli in the old man's arms became more awake. She looked at the old man strangely: "Huh? Granny Yao?"

"...Mechanical area? Why am I here? What happened?" Chunli looked at the surrounding scene blankly.

“Silly boy, you got into big trouble and were caught by the robot... But luckily, you're fine now.” The old man sighed.

"I...got into trouble?" Chunli looked at the old man with some pain, couldn't help but hug her head, and even couldn't help but beat it: "What did I do? Why can't I remember anything..."

"Forget it if you can't remember it. They probably deleted your memory..." The old man stopped Chunli's movements distressedly and held her in his arms: "Anyway, remember to abide by the rules in the future and don't provoke her again. Those robots..."

 But he soon felt that his chest was soaked.

 The old man looked down and found that the girl in his arms had tears streaming down his face.

 “Silly boy, you're fine now, why are you still crying?”

Chunli wiped away the tears that kept falling and said in a daze: "I don't know either, but... I always feel that I have forgotten something very important..."

 The old man couldn't help but sigh when he saw her like this.

“Mr. Yao, do you know something?” Chunli noticed the strange look on the old man's face.

The old man shook his head: "No matter how important it is, it's just a bad memory. If you forget it, just let it go. Don't think about it anymore. From now on, you just need to be an ordinary person and stay safe here." Spending my whole life is my greatest wish..."

 Half an hour later, Chunli was sent back to her home by the old man.

“Remember, don't think too much about anything and have a good rest. As long as you spend these few days, you will be safe...” The old man looked at the girl with a childish face, but his expression was a little sad.

"I know Granny Yao, don't worry about me..." Chunli yawned, her upper and lower eyelids fighting crazily, and she didn't notice the bitterness flashing in the old man's eyes.

 After watching the old man leave, Chunli, who was extremely sleepy, dragged her tired body to the bed.

 But at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

 "Yao Granny? What else can I do... huh!"

Chunli walked back to the door blankly and opened it.

What appeared at the door was not the Yao Granny as imagined, but a fully armed robot.

Chunli instinctively took a step back and hid behind the door. At the same time, her mind was racing to recall what trouble she had accidentally gotten into... However, after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't think of it: she had just been released from prison, where did she have time to make a mistake?

Generally, when a robot sees a living being, it will take the initiative to broadcast some information, but at this moment, the robot at the door said nothing and just stared at her, which made Chunli's spine shiver.

"What's the matter with you? It's okay, I'll close the door..." Chunli vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she wanted to close the wooden door.

The robot, which had been standing still, suddenly stretched out its hand and blocked the wooden door.

Chunli was startled and instinctively wanted to escape back into the house, but at this moment, she suddenly swayed behind the robot and floated a cyan dagger connected by an energy line.

Before she realized what it was, the dagger turned into a ray of green light and stabbed straight towards her, accurately penetrating her abdomen...

"You want...the stolen goods of the Illuminati?" In the capital of China, in front of the Materials Department of the Dragon Group, the young receptionist looked at Mu You outside the small window and couldn't believe his ears.

“Yes, after we destroyed the Illuminati's lair, we should have recovered some things, right?” Mu You nodded.

After learning about Catalina's prophecy just now, he hurried back to Earth.

 Looking for a space crack whose location is unknown on the huge Earth is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

 The most efficient way to do this kind of thing related to search is to use divination.

Of course, divination cannot be done casually. The fortune teller is just an interpreter, and the actual divination must be completed by relying on the object of divination itself, or something strongly related to the object of divination.

Fortunately, the body of the president of the Illuminati is said to be in front of the space crack at this moment, so as long as this person's body can be found, the space crack will naturally be found.

 Wanting to confirm the location of a dead person involves a classic divination classification in divination: search divination.

 The conditions are also very simple, that is, find an item that the deceased had when he was alive. The longer the item is carried by the deceased, the less difficult it will be for divination.

 So after Mu You came back, he went directly to the Dragon Group headquarters.

　　When the Illuminati was destroyed, the Dragon Group was responsible for disposing of the captured people and stolen goods. You should be able to find what he wants here.

"Well, a lot of things were recovered, but the useful ones were basically given out as rewards... What was left behind were some very common props..." The receptionist looked at Mu You strangely.

 She was surprised that a big man like Captain Ghost would be interested in those things. Even she doesn't like the rags left over from picking.

"That's good, take me to see it." Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is still something left, it will be fine. He is not here to hunt for treasures. He only needs to find an item from the deceased, even if it is an item produced by the earth. It will be all right.

 “Okay, you come with me.”

The receptionist didn't think much and hurriedly led Mu You into the warehouse.

 The Long Group's material warehouse is a large factory building. There are countless shelves densely packed inside, and each shelf is filled with materials and props in different categories.

“Let me see, Area G, storage point Z357…”

The receptionist muttered, and soon led Mu You to stop in front of a shelf and turned on the lamp on the wall next to it.

"This is it. All the things that were collected from the Illuminati are here. You can see for yourself." The receptionist said.

“Thank you.” Mu You thanked him and walked into the shelf corridor.

Looking along the road, it turned out that the rows of shelves were all filled with inferior props, many of which were damaged.

 What troubles Mu You is that the stolen goods have been found, but it is difficult to distinguish which ones were used by the Illuminati president. It is impossible to try them one by one, right?

The only thing that made him more confident was that in Catalina's prophecy, he and the herb collector appeared directly in front of the space crack, which meant that he must have finally found a clue here.

Just when Mu You was a little embarrassed, he suddenly stopped and turned around to see a card with a white shimmer in the corner of the second floor of the shelf. It was pressed under the bottles and cans, trying to cover it up. Showing one corner in shame.

 The reason why Mu You was able to spot this inconspicuous card among the many things at a glance was because it was so familiar to him: it was a secret card!
