Chapter 362: Blending In

Seeing Li Zhixin's back disappear at the end of the road, Ye Lan looked at the time and disappeared into the alley.

After a simple shopping trip in the store, Ye Lan changed into ordinary people's clothes and then really strolled.

In this way, until nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Lan reappeared on the street in a way that did not cover his traces.

He looked around, lowered his head, and did not look at anyone who might exist. He started from the end of the street, as if he had a clear purpose, ignoring everyone and moving forward all the way.

But in fact, he just walked from one road to the end, and then Ye Lan changed another road and walked from the beginning to the end again, seemingly with a purpose.

Ye Lan was sure that he would meet some people or events on a certain street, and he was pretending to disappear quietly, where to go to wait for the person to pick him up!

Unfortunately, in the next dozens of minutes, let alone specific people, Ye Lan did not see even one person.

At this time, Guanghui City was not prosperous enough, and there were not many people at night. Especially when people are panicking, no one dares to go out during the day, let alone in the middle of the night when there is no light.

In addition, in order to avoid theft, robbery or even riots during the chaotic period, the four major families also issued a curfew decree. The guards will patrol regularly and arrest any strange people directly.

And the person responsible for the arrest is still a member of the Xu family. After all, there has been a large-scale disappearance of people under his rule, and he still has to pretend to do it.

According to the time, the patrolling guards circle the area every half an hour. Ye Lan has walked for no less than 25 minutes and gradually became embarrassed.

Is the speculation wrong?

In other words, there is no one in this situation. Anyone who appears is the target of "missing", and the mastermind behind the scenes is suspected to be the head of the Xu family.

So are the guards responsible for "receiving" and I should not avoid them, but should be "caught" by them?

Seeing the light of a flashlight coming from not far away, Ye Lan hesitated and sank into the darkness.

Wait a minute!

If the speculation is wrong, being ‘caught’ without any trigger, but instead arouses Xu Lemo’s vigilance, then this matter will be troublesome.

And I can be ‘caught’ at any time if I want, after all, they still have to patrol all night.

Ye Lan set a last hour for himself. If it fails, he will not waste time and turn to the second line pointed out by the president of the Unnatural Detective Association for investigation. It is still in time.

Or, take a risk and try to be caught by the patrolling guards of the Xu family.

Finally, more than ten minutes passed. When merging into the next street, a figure appeared in front of Ye Lan!

The figure seemed to be dressed similarly to himself. He seemed to be startled at first, but after glancing at himself, he had no reaction and continued to walk forward with his head down.

Ye Lan did not speak, and followed silently without hiding his figure. But halfway through this advance, Ye Lan quietly glanced at the map again.

This street is already very close to the Xu family mansion. It was originally expected that the Xu family master would most likely appear in the area where he would take a walk at night.

After a few seconds, Ye Lan followed the shadow around a corner, raised his head slightly, and showed a look of joy.

Success!

At the end of the street, there was a majestic figure.

The head of the Xu family, Xu Lemo!

The head of the Xu family stood across the street, scanning the comings and goings around. The two sides did not communicate as if they had agreed, and the figure in front entered the newsstand on the opposite side of the street from the head of the Xu family.

Ye Lan followed suit and followed in very naturally. During the whole process, the head of the Xu family and the figure in front did not feel anything wrong.

Click.

After entering the newsstand, the figure in front took off his hood, looked back at Ye Lan, and sighed.

"Why are you so close to me? This may violate the terms."

Ye Lan looked calm, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I was delayed for a while, so I bumped into you by accident. It would be strange if I deliberately pulled too far away, right?"

Ye Lan suspected that each of the missing people had a fixed time to set out to ensure that they would not meet each other in advance, so he said that he was delayed for a while.

If it was bad luck, I didn't expect that there might be problems later.

Snap!

The man said nothing more, a little disappointed, and more determined. He turned on the flashlight and stepped into the tunnel.

Ye Lan hesitated slightly, but thought that in this era, there seemed to be no traps that could really threaten him except the touch of the ancient gods. He turned on the flashlight like him and walked down.

After the deep tunnel, there was a bright light in front of him.

In this underground where the energy has been exhausted, the lights are maintained!

There is only one room in the underground. In addition to the necessary pillars as support, the only building is a statue in the center that cannot be seen. The man did not plan to chat with Ye Lan anymore, and stood casually in a place where no one was.

Ye Lan took a quick look and saw that there were already more than ten people here, scattered in various corners, mostly middle-aged men.

Ye Lan quietly blended in with the others, doing whatever others did, looking extremely professional.

During this process, Ye Lan observed that the soles of these people's shoes were emitting slight spiritual fluctuations and a faint luster, as if they were producing some effect.

"Is this how they hide their traces? Through supernatural objects... No, this is not supernatural objects at all, it can only be regarded as a tiny bit of power from an abnormality, or even a one-time thing."

"Well... This kind of thing should not need to be injected with power, just use its own influence to achieve the effect."

"But I have to say that it is still a huge project to make hundreds or even thousands of them at one time... Tsk, there must be an abnormal mastermind behind this."

During the long wait of more than an hour, footsteps were heard from time to time behind him, and there was a gap of about 3 minutes between each one.

Gradually, the basement was no longer so empty and began to get crowded. Ye Lan looked around and found that nearly a hundred people had gathered here.

But this time, there should be no more people coming in.

Creak.

Footsteps were heard again, and the man closed the door after coming in.

Xu Lemo!

He glanced around, nodded with satisfaction, walked to the statue alone, lowered his head, and whispered something softly, suspected to be praying and preaching.

Sure enough, is it some evil and abnormal sacrificial ceremony?

Ye Lan's expression was a little cold. Xu Lemo's behavior made him more disgusting than other opponents in the past.

Tsk, look, how righteous he was in front of Li Zhixin and the other three?

Ye Lan did not interrupt, no matter who it was, no matter what the ceremony was. As long as he was here, he had the capital to force it to end at the last moment.

He just wanted to see who it was!

The next scene was quite strange. No one communicated. These people seemed to know the predetermined fate, and no one communicated. Staring at the stone statue in the middle, there was no emotion of faith.

Finally, Xu Lemo seemed to have finished praying and put his palm on the stone statue.

At this moment, Ye Lan narrowed his eyes.

Psychic power!

He used psychic power!

Although the speed was very fast, although it was very weak and had no obvious effect, Ye Lan could be sure that it was the fluctuation of psychic power!

But it was also because of this that Ye Lan had no way to tell which abnormal power it belonged to.

But fortunately, he could at least feel the difference between the shelter tower and the touch of the ancient gods.

This is the power of the touch of the ancient gods!

The head of the Xu family let go of his hand, turned his head, saluted everyone, then pounded his chest with his fist and uttered a low roar full of faith.

"For the Glorious City!"

Ye Lan:?

In the next moment, hundreds of people shouted at the same time.

"For the Glorious City!"

Ye Lan:?

What do you mean, to reverse?

He was completely confused, so that his movements were slow for a moment, and a surge of suction came, and everyone seemed to be carrying a beacon, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Then, there were only two people left in the room.

One person should disappear, and the other should not disappear.

Ye Lan:...

Xu Lemo:...

An infinitely strange atmosphere spread in the basement.

Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Ye Lan took off his hood, politely pulled out the bell of chaos, aimed at Xu Lemo's head, and smiled.

"Hi."
