Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Lin Xiuyuan Goes Missing

Jiang Yixiao was stunned.

So stupid…

The words this boy just uttered were exactly the same as those her deceased grandfather often used to say to her! Even the tone was…

“You know I have a Space?”

Jiang Yixiao decided to observe this person a bit more, since killing him would be a piece of cake anyway.

“Yeah, you just popped out from there, didn’t you?”

Lin Xiuyuan casually said while digging out a crystal core.

However, Lin Xiuyuan’s indifference was just what Jiang Yixiao thought to herself; actually, Lin Xiuyuan was quite curious about what this person’s Space looked like. Was it also as incredible as Su Jin’s Space?

Jiang Yixiao grew even more curious. Why didn’t this man seem surprised at all?

“You know my secret now. I was thinking about killing you just now, but then you saved me.”

Jiang Yixiao was conflicted. She had been saved by this man more than once just now, and according to her grandfather’s words, although one must be ruthless, one should not lack a conscience.

“Please, what’s so special about that thing? I’ve seen it before. It’s just that Mustard Seed something or other. Besides, before you worry about me spilling your secret, you should worry about this guy first!”

Lin Xiuyuan extracted a small black thing from the eye socket of the multi-element zombie still frozen in the ice wall and tossed it in front of Jiang Yixiao.

Before encountering him, that multi-element zombie had first encountered this girl. If she suddenly hid in her Space and disappeared, then it’s very possible that the surveillance within the zombie’s eyes had captured her disappearance.

“I was recorded by it when I entered the Space?”

Jiang Yixiao felt that Lin Xiuyuan’s words contained too much information; she was a bit overwhelmed, but her biggest fear had indeed occurred.

She was recorded?!

“Uh-huh, that’s right. But don’t worry, young master here has seen it all. That thing you use to hide from others, I’ve seen before, and I’m not the least bit interested in your little secret. Plus, with your klutzy demeanor, you couldn’t kill young master here.”

Lin Xiuyuan arrogantly said, though he wouldn’t admit he was somewhat interested in this girl’s Space.

“Nonsense! Grandpa said that our Jiang family’s Jade Thumb Ring is one of a kind in the whole world! How could you have possibly seen it before?”

Jiang Yixiao thought this person was definitely lying to her and even pulled out the green jade thumb ring from around her neck to show it to the man not far away.

“…”

Lin Xiuyuan was speechless and somewhat wanted to laugh.

He had never seen someone so foolish.

She had just mentioned killing him, and now, she had revealed all her secrets. How in the world had she survived up to now with that thing?

“So stupid haha… and you even dare take it out to show to a stranger.”

Lin Xiuyuan felt like he was about to die of laughter.

Just as he was holding his stomach laughing uncontrollably, he suddenly felt something wrong with his body.

Oh no! Why do I have to level up at this time?

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the ground littered with zombie corpses and the magnificent ice ladders and walls he had created, and suddenly felt like crying. He had used up too much of his special ability just now, and while digging out crystal cores, he had incidentally absorbed two Ice-Element Crystal Cores, and then…

“What’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Yixiao looked at the man who had suddenly stopped laughing, feeling even more puzzled by this strange person.

“I… I’m going to take a leak…”

Lin Xiuyuan, with a flushed face, restrained himself and headed outside. He wanted to hold on a bit longer, to rush out of here and find a secluded place to enter his Space, as he couldn’t bear to enter his Space in front of someone else no matter what.

“…”

Jiang Yixiao was stunned again but then realized what was happening. Was he trying to sneak away while she wasn’t paying attention?

“Stop right there!”

Jiang Yixiao dodged the scattered zombie bodies and ran outside, but behind a pile of jumbled large metal barrels, she saw Lin Xiuyuan sitting on the ground.

This state… was he upgrading?

She walked around the man sitting on the ground, confirming that he was indeed upgrading. No wonder he had just mentioned going somewhere.

What a godsend opportunity.

A Special Ability User upgrading had no ability to resist; even if she killed him now, it would be completely effortless. Thus, she slowly extended her hand towards the upgrading Lin Xiuyuan…

…

After Lu Hao and Rong Yuan’s group finished clearing the zombies in the area, they discovered that Lin Xiuyuan was gone.

“I just saw him running in that direction,”

Chen Man pointed towards the nearby industrial park.

“This kid,”

Xue Wanyi used his Wind Element Ability to fly up into the air and looked around, but he didn’t see Lin Xiuyuan in the industrial park.

“Let’s go look for him,”

Lu Hao immediately decided, not very worried about Lin Xiuyuan. His strength was strong, and he also had access to the Space, which meant he was completely capable of protecting himself.

The only thing he was worried about now was that Lin Xiuyuan had said he could upgrade soon; if he happened to be upgrading in a dangerous place, that would be troublesome.

“Big Brother Lu, let’s go too, let’s split up to search,”

Rong Yuan said to Lu Hao and Xue Wanyi, who were preparing to go search alone.

“Yes, split up and search faster,”

Everyone agreed one after another; they also all knew the young man, a powerful Ice-Element member of the Heart Talk Team. He’d always been humble when coming out with them, so they were also willing to help search.

“Alright, be careful,”

Lu Hao didn’t refuse. He was also planning to find a secluded place to enter the Space to see if Lin Xiuyuan had gone in or left any message.

The ground in the industrial park had some zombie bodies; some seemed to have been dead for a while, their bodies shriveled up without any moisture, while others still looked fresh.

Lu Hao had just gone into the Space and confirmed with the family inside that Lin Xiuyuan had not entered.

“This damn kid stirring up trouble again, I’ll deal with him when he gets back,”

Huang Yunxiang said, though she couldn’t help but worry about her son.

Rong Yuan and others, however, saw Lin Xiuyuan’s “masterpiece” in a factory building surrounded by dozens of zombies–an unthawed ice wall and the Multi-Element Zombie that had been poked into a hornet’s nest.

“It looks like he was chasing this Multi-Element Zombie,”

Xue Wanyi and everyone finished off those zombies then said.

Lu Hao frowned and surveyed the factory building.

Zombie bodies killed by Ice-Element Special Abilities and harvested of their Crystal Cores, with signs of a struggle on the walls and ground–these were unmistakably left by Lin Xiuyuan, but where had he run off to?

“Could he have gone back to look for us?”

Rong Yuan asked.

Lu Hao shook his head and frowned in response, “He shouldn’t have left this spot.”

The factory floor was already covered with a thick layer of dust, and although the footprints appeared chaotic, after walking around including outside the door, he could still distinguish Lin Xiuyuan’s footprints.

It seemed that Lin Xiuyuan had not left this place, and there were no human blood traces around, so even Lu Hao couldn’t help but be clueless at the moment.
