"Ling Ling! Where's Ling Ling!" Meng Yue sprang up and darted to the bed. Looking at the empty bed, Moli's expressionless face froze as well.
At that moment, Meng Yue saw the piece of paper which was falling from the bed. She picked it up and read, 'I'll handle Ling Ling's condition for you. I don't have the time to explain to you now, so please wait for me to come back! — Lin. '
In a couple of seconds, the scurry of feet was heard from the outside. Wu Chengyue showed up by the door and asked, "What happened to Ling Ling? Why is her vibe suddenly gone?"
In the next moment, he popped his eyes as he saw the empty bed, his handsome face twisting immediately.
"Where's Ling Ling!"
Meng Yue turned back without knowing what to do. Confusedly, she raised the piece of paper in her hand and said, "I don't know what happened either... Ling Ling suddenly... disappeared... But, a piece of paper showed up..."
Wu Chengyue hurriedly walked in and took over the piece of paper to read the note. After that, he forced himself to calm down and analyze the message.
"What does this mean? Who took Ling Ling away? Lin? Who's Lin?"
Liang Dashu walked over and read the note, then comforted Wu Chengyue, "Calm down! Maybe this person meant no harm."
Wu Chengyue gripped the note and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he stared at the note and said, "It must be Yang Chao! Only a few people know about Ling Ling's condition! He'll handle Ling Ling's condition for us... Am I stupid? How can I possibly believe that!"
The air pressure around him turned unstable as a strong intention of killing radiated from him.
Unlike him, Liang Dashu, who was by his side, said with composure, "You should calm down for now. First, who is this Lin? We should figure this out before coming to a conclusion. But of course, you can start with Yang Chao and his people. Secondly, I detected no bad intention from this note. This person didn't threaten you. And, he told us to wait for him to come back, meaning that he will come back to find you. Thirdly..."
He paused for a second, then turned to Moli and Meng Yue, "Did you two feel anything the moment Ling Ling disappeared? Calm down and think."
Hearing him, Meng Yue and Moli glanced at each other.
Meng Yue cooled herself down and reviewed what happened just now. For a moment, she did sense a vibe, which faded very soon. After that, she raised her head to look at Ling Ling, but the little girl wasn't there.
"That person only showed up for a moment. I think... it should be space power. If that person is merely able to be invisible, he or she can't possibly pick Ling Ling up and turn her invisible without letting us feel anything, " said Moli.
"I didn't sense any evil intent or negative emotion. On the contrary, I grasped a trace of anxiety, and confusion from another individual. I think they only learned about Ling Ling's condition after arriving here. I don't think they knew that clearly before they got here. As for why they're anxious... Chief, I think you should think about the people who're nice to Ling Ling. Except for the ones in this house, who else will be kind to her? Maybe, we should think positively."
As Moli finished talking blandly, Wu Chengyue calmed down for a little. While rereading the note, he suddenly had a guess.
Lin? A space-powered being? Didn't he run into someone like that before returning to the base?
He immediately recalled the woman who stole his zombie king nucleus in West Lake District in Hangzhou. He had fought her and lost!
Moreover, he had given her a bite!
That woman was able to turn herself invisible, and had a space! Did she take Ling Ling away?
"I'll go find someone, " said Wu Chengyue abruptly as he quickly walked toward the outside. He was going to find Lu Tianyi and ask if he knew anything about that woman!
As he suddenly turned and left, the others immediately followed him out.
...
On the other side, Lin Qiao scooped Wu Yueling up after bringing her into the space.
"Little thing?" She lowered her head to look at the little girl's half-narrowed eyes while calling her with a gentle voice. However, the little one didn't give her any response.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then knelt on one knee and put the little girl on her lap. She supported the girl's body with one hand and took off her hat and sunglasses with the other.
Looking at the little one with her dark-green eyes, she tried to call her again, "Little thing, do you know who I am?"
Magically, the look in the little girl's eyes changed slightly this time. But right after the short gleam, those eyes turned dull again, and showed no other changes.
Lin Qiao carried her up and walked to the lakeside, then said to Viney, "Viney, the little one's power is waking up. What should we do?"
Viney reached out a few arm-thick vines and gently wrapped up Wu Yueling's body with three of them, then touched Lin Qiao with another.
'Mama, don't worry! I'll help her to trigger her power...'
Lin Qiao nodded, then let Viney bring Wu Yueling down into the lake.
Liu Jun and Qiu Lili walked to Lin Qiao's side. Neither of them knew Wu Yueling, so they asked curiously, "Is that the little one that you and Viney had mentioned earlier? Whose kid is she? What's wrong with her?"
"She's the little princes of Sea City Base. I don't know why, but her power suddenly began waking up as well, " said Lin Qiao.
"Little princess? Is she the daughter of a Chief? Do you and Viney both know her?" asked Liu Jun. She understood that Lin Qiao wouldn't bring the little princess here without a good reason and ask Viney to help her, and that Viney shouldn't have feelings toward the people from the outside either.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "We do. We met her before meeting you two. In fact, that was a trouble caused by the previous owner of my body."
Liu Jun and Qiu Lili looked at her with curiosity. However, Lin Qiao didn't plan to tell them more. Instead, she said, "I'll tell you the story when we have time. Right now, we need to leave the base to find Yuan Tianxing."
"Eh?" Liu Jun and Qiu Lili looked at her with surprise, "Isn't Yuan Tianxing in Sea City Base? Where did he go?"
Lin Qiao shook his head and said, "He isn't here. We've checked the exit record. They left two hours ago. Right now, we need to find them."
Liu Jun and Qiu Lili glanced at each other without knowing what to say.
Lin Qiao watched Viney bring Wu Yueling into the water. She was still a little worried, but thankfully, Viney had helped with the awakening of Lin Xiaolu's power the last time. So, she guessed that it would be all right this time as well.
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to help here, Lin Qiao turned and left the space, heading toward the outside. She hoped that she could find Yuan Tianxing and the others as soon as possible.
