"Brother Heao, good morning."

As soon as He Ao connected to the video conference, Wu Lan's big face came close to the screen.

In fact, it was not early at Wu Lan's side. She was near the Tia Empire, and it was still late at night there.

To be honest, Wu Lan is actually very good-looking, and her skin is well maintained. Even if her face is so close, the pores and wrinkles on her skin cannot be seen. In addition, her makeup today is more heroic, which is combined with her mature and charming temperament.

When you look up, there is a different kind of seductive beauty.

"I mean, Wu Lan, why can't you see any wrinkles on your face?"

The voice of Ji Po, another deputy director of the field support department, then sounded, "Are you using Beauty again?"

"I never use beauty!"

Wu Lan sat up straight and slapped the table next to her, "I am so young. Her face is full of collagen. Isn't it strange that she has no wrinkles?!"

"Yes, yes, young girl Ben Si."

Ji Po answered casually.

"Muscular man, I think you need a spanking again!"

Wu Lan rolled up her sleeves.

"Ahem—"

A slight cough stopped the two of them from playing, and Yang De's picture appeared in the center of the screen.

He glanced at the two people who were quiet, and then at He Ao, who was wearing pajamas and with wet hair, as if he had just taken a shower, "He Ao, how is your health?"

"Fortunately, it's almost healed."

He Ao replied with a smile.

He Ao had been in a circle on the Navigator before and suffered a serious injury. Although he relied on the effect of the 'nutritional can' given by Yang De to recover most of it, he was still slightly injured. He has been recovering from his injuries since he came back.

medicine.

However, relying on the extraordinary physical strength, this injury actually recovered quickly.

After He Ao returned from the Navigator, Yang De and the other two made a special trip to the Kingdom of Ruodan. They celebrated for a while. He Ao took them to play around in Ellen, the capital of Ruodan, and then returned to their respective posts.

went.

Yang De returned to the Middle Earth, Ji Po went to the north of the Western Earth, and Wu Lan was near the Tia Empire.

Although several C-level officers in the field department are now in different regions, once something happens, Yang De will also call everyone for an online meeting.

The phone call that He Ao made before taking a shower was the call from Yang De convening a meeting.

"Yang Bu, what's the matter?"

After answering Yang De's question, He Ao also asked.

He Ao's question obviously also brought out the thoughts of the other two ministers. They all sat upright and waited for Yang De to speak.

"A bad news,"

Yang De lowered his head and glanced at the information in his hand, "Our people in Newland City State are missing."

"who?"

Hearing this sentence, Ji Po was stunned, "Which extraordinary person is missing?"

"The entire division, everyone."

Yang De spoke slowly.

The atmosphere suddenly became dull.

"I remember that the city-state of Newland belongs to the Theia Empire. Isn't there any news about it?"

Wu Lan asked in a low voice.

"No,"

Yang De shook his head, "Since last night in Middle-earth time, the headquarters has been completely unable to contact there, nor can it contact any contact, whether it is a transcendent or an ordinary person."

"I remember that the city-state of Newland was a completely autonomous commercial city-state,"

Ji Po then said,

"Although they recognize that the Emperor of Theia Empire is the head of state and lord of the city-state, the emperor does not directly appoint officials to govern the city-state. The actual leader of the city-state is the 'city-state prime minister', who is elected by the city-state parliament. Due to this relationship, it is basically regarded as

A buffer zone facing the moonlight, our branch there seems to be semi-public."

When Ji Po said this, He Ao also remembered the research institute documents he had read before. It seemed that there was indeed a document mentioning the Newland City-State branch.

This branch is not located in the Theia Empire, which is the core of the Moonlight forces, but exists in a semi-public form on its fringes.

In a sense, it is actually a diplomatic station through which Yueguang communicates directly with the institute.

Such branches are directly under the headquarters of the institute and are directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters.

He Ao opened the map software and searched for the Newland city-state.

"What did Moonlight say?"

Wu Lan asked doubtfully.

For this kind of semi-public branch, Moonlight will not touch them. At most, it will just monitor them and even take the initiative to protect the safety of the branch.

Because once there is a problem in this kind of branch, Moonlight is the most likely to be suspected, and it is easy to take the blame.

Now that there is a problem in the branch, no matter whether it is their fault or not, they still need to give an explanation.

"The reply from Moonlight to the institute is that they don't know either,"

Yang De typed on the computer, and a simple investigation report sent to the institute by Moonlight was sent to everyone, "Their people did not find anything unusual about our branch. It was not until we sent them a letter to inquire that they

I sent someone to check it out, and the result was..."

He paused and said, "The building was deserted. There was no breath of living people in the building where the Newland branch was located. There were open documents and cooled coffee on the table. All the lights were on, but inside the building

Not a single living person."

Listening to Yang De's narration, He Ao was also flipping through the investigation report sent by Yang De.

This report contains a photo of the office lobby taken by Moonlight Man.

The empty and bright office hall, the unfolded book pages, the open computer, the coffee placed by the table, and the coat draped on the office chair came into He Ao's eyes one by one.

He Ao's eyes swept across some of the computer screens captured by the camera, and several of them were stuck on the game options interface, waiting for players to make choices.

The entire hall is very clean, there is no feeling of hasty escape, and there is no movement of radical change.

It was as if everyone was in the office one second, spending a normal working day peacefully, going to work and fishing, and then the next second, everyone had 'disappeared'.

They didn't even have time to make any move to escape, and they suddenly 'disappeared'.

"Is this some kind of 'weird event'? What level of weird events can cause this kind of effect?"

At this time, Ji Po was also looking at the report. He frowned and asked with some doubts, "I remember that the person in charge of this branch of Newland City State was a D-class peak transcendent? She didn't leave anything behind.

information?"

"The message sent from Yueguang showed that there were traces of fierce fighting in the office of the person in charge, but Yueguang's people did not find any clues left behind."

Yang De said.

"It's not necessarily that she didn't leave a signal, it's just that the people in Moonlight couldn't understand it."

Wu Lan thought.

"After discussion between the dean and the other side, Moonlight agreed to let us send a C-class into Newland City-State to investigate. They will also send a C-class to assist us."

Yang De glanced at everyone and then said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Lan raised her head and said directly, "Yang Bu, I'll go."

"Um?"

Yang Bu looked at her.

"I am the most suitable candidate,"

Wu Lan leaned back on the chair, "I am now near the Tia Empire, closest to the Newland City State, and I am in charge of the nearby research institute branches. I can also mobilize suitable manpower as quickly as possible.

While the investigation is ongoing, the Newland temporary branch is being re-erected, and,"

She paused, looking at Yang De who was not convinced, and continued, "You know, the head of the Newland branch is a friend who joined the institute with me. If she really left any traces

, maybe only I can understand it."

He Aoneng could tell that although Wu Lan deliberately used relaxed sentences, her tone was not relaxed, but rather heavy.

After hearing this, Yang De was silent for a moment and said slowly, "This incident is not simple. It is very likely to involve C-class weird items. Although Moonlight claims to cooperate with our investigation, we must be careful with them."

Adding insult to injury."

Then he thought for a while and continued, "In that case, Ji Po, go to the vicinity of the Tia Empire and temporarily take over Wu Lan's work. If there are any problems, you can provide immediate support."

"good!"
