"Due to an unknown reason, the semi-finals have been temporarily suspended!"
After the host, Wei Sheng, and the leaders had discussed it once, they decided that it was better to temporarily suspend the tournament. A team suddenly disappearing out of nowhere, this was an urgent situation. f𝗿𝘦e𝒘e𝚋𝘯o𝘃𝙚l - 🅽🅽novel
If a team chose to forfeit the match during top 32 or top 64, it would still make sense. But if a team forfeited the semi-final and disappeared, something must be wrong.
There were many things that were hard to understand. Lin Guodong was also very magnanimous. This was something that happened in Hex City Base. They sent people to investigate, the student teams also sent out quite a number of people to investigate.
Of course, Hex City University was investigated by the authority. After all, they were the opponents of Celeste City University. They might make a move against Celeste City University. However, if Hex City University really did it, they wouldn't lose the tournaments over the years.
After a simple investigation of the hunting grounds and other venues, as well as the surveillance cameras, they didn't have any leads for the time being. Lin Tian's team followed them.
"Our opponents suddenly disappeared. It's indeed a little strange. I saw Lu Xiaoran yesterday!"
Lin Tian recalled that he did see Lu Xiaoran yesterday. However, they only brushed past each other and did not have much interaction. After all, they were not familiar with each other. However, they were completely vanished, it was still quite suspicious.
"Could it be the work of the Sacred Court?"
Lin Tian already had an answer in his heart. He muttered to himself. At this moment, Zhou Yi happened to hear his words.
"What is the Sacred Court?" Zhou Yi asked. Bi Linyu and the others all had strange expressions on their faces. There were not many people who had fought with this the Sacred Court, a cult organization. Lin Tian was the only one. Zhou Yi and the others had also seen the effects of their ridiculous medicine.
Lin Tian explained to them about the Sacred Court. After listening to it, Zhou Yi could not help but be a little surprised.
"Isn't this the same as Shangguan Wanwan's medicine?"
Zhou Yi still remembered the battle with Shangguan Wanwan and the others. There was a moment when he was suddenly unable to use his strength. This feeling was very strange. When he heard it, the medicine of the Sacred Court and Shangguan Wanwan's medicine had the same effect. Lin Tian nodded.
Then, Lin Tian and the others came to the residence of the students of Celeste City University. Lin Tian glanced at the place where Lu Xiaoran and the others lived. It was basically very clean and there was not much difference. After all, the cleaning staff cleaned it every day.
"It looks like it's not here either!"
The leading teacher of Celeste City University frowned. He looked around the room but still did not find anything. The room was cleaned too cleanly. He reckoned that all the traces from the previous day had been cleaned up, the other rooms were not as clean as Lu Xiaoran's room.
Lin Tian glanced at Lu Xiaoran's room, then unintentionally looked at the rooms of the other students of Celeste City University. He found a blind spot, a blind spot that even the teacher did not care too much about. Lin Tian suddenly pressed on the door of the two rooms.
"I would like to ask when your cleaning staff will start cleaning the rooms?"
Lin Tian said in a deep voice. The teachers of Celeste City University had originally planned to transfer the surveillance cameras, but now that Lin Tian had suddenly said so, they stopped. The hotel management also told them the truth. Under normal circumstances, the cleaning would be carried out in the afternoon because there were more guests checking out at that time.
After hearing this, Lin Tian immediately understood. The teachers of Celeste City University and the teachers of the other universities looked at Lin Tian curiously.
"Teacher, did you notice anything different about these two rooms? Lu Xiaoran and the others' rooms were obviously cleaned. Either they didn't come back yesterday, or..."
Lin Tian said in a deep voice. He looked at the hotel management at the end. His meaning was very clear, but he didn't expose it. At this time, the personnel of hotel management also noticed this problem, and his expression changed slightly.
Then, they immediately brought people to adjust the surveillance cameras. However, when they started to look at the surveillance cameras, they realized that most of the surveillance cameras had not been turned on since yesterday. And this morning, there was only one surveillance camera that was turned on the entire time.
Originally, the teachers of Celeste City University had already wanted to question the hotel management. But at this moment, Lin Tian turned on the surveillance footage from yesterday. Starting from midnight, the surveillance footage showed that Lu Xiaoran and the others had already returned to the hotel.
"There are still traces of them here. This means that they are at the hotel at that time!"
Lin Tian said in a deep voice. However, a strange scene soon appeared. Lin Tian pulled back his view. He felt that Lu Xiaoran and the others looked strange. It was as if they were being controlled and dragged to the hotel.
Lin Tian's frown deepened. After this scene, the nine surveillance cameras did not show any more images. After Lin Tian repeatedly looked at the surveillance cameras, he could not help but shake his head.
"They are very strange. I can't tell how strange they are!"
Lin Tian said in a deep voice. From the looks of it, there was only a possibility that there was a mole in the hotel. The rest of the situation would only be known after the others had investigated thoroughly. However, this had nothing to do with them. After all, Lin Tian and the others were only here to help.
It was already good that they didn't cause trouble. The teacher from Celeste City University immediately walked forward and shook Lin Tian's hand with a grateful expression. He had originally thought that it was Lin Tian who behind all these. After all, it was not impossible for them to eliminate their competitors.
However, it seemed that Lin Tian had actually helped them a lot in the investigation. He even suspected Lin Tian. It was a heinous crime.
"Teacher, hurry up and bring them back. I believe that they will definitely be fine!"
Lin Tian said in a deep voice. If he really wanted to get rid of a team and obtain victory, he might as well eliminate the two teams that had the highest chance of winning. This was completely unnecessary. The teacher of Celeste City University also nodded.
...
And because of the sudden disappearance of Celeste City University's team, the competition had to be suspended. It was suspended for more than half a month. They had searched for Lu Xiaoran's team searched for more than half a month, but they still couldn't find them. Finally, in the middle of the month, Lu Xiaoran's team suddenly appeared at their home.
When the teacher and the others heard the news, they only knew that Lu Xiaoran seemed to have been greatly traumatized. When he returned home, he had been holding his head. His eyes were unfocused, as if he had experienced something horrible.
When it came to the competition, Lu Xiaoran's tears and snot flowed down. He curled up in a corner and looked at everything in front of him in despair. It was as if the entire world had betrayed him. There was nothing he could do.
Strange!
Very strange!
