Soon, five days had passed. Lin Huang let out a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Hei's notification.
"Detected Life Skill Card Army Attack Tactics card pieces x200. Would you like to upgrade the card?"
"Yes!"
"Using Army Attack Tactics card pieces x200, Life Skill Card Army Attack Tactics has been upgraded."
Lin Huang tapped on the card as soon as the dialog box popped up in front of him.
"Life Skill Card"
"Life Skill Name: Army Attack Tactics"
"Rarity: Rare"
"Control Level: Level 2"
"Effect: Increase the speed of Life Power rotation by 24%, increase the attack and defense of Life Power by 24% respectively."
"Remarks: For the first five levels, each upgrade will increase the effect of Life Power by 12%."
"Card Remarks: Usable"
"That's faster than I expected …" Although Lin Huang said that, he did not look relaxed.
It used to take him half an hour to complete a Qi circulation, but he managed to shorten it to ten minutes. Now that the level of Army Attack Tactics had been upgraded, the route of the Qi circulation became more complicated. It now took him half an hour to complete a Qi circulation. This meant that the speed of obtaining card pieces had returned to its original speed.
After putting away the Life Skill Card, Lin Huang looked at the time. It was past 5: 40 p.m.
For the past few days, Lin Xin had been knocking on his door at six o 'clock sharp. Both of them then went downstairs for dinner.
Seeing that he still had some time, Lin Huang started reading the news.
A piece of news caught his attention as he saw a familiar foothold number – 7B61.
Foothold No.7B61 was the official name of Xiagong City in the Coalition government.
Lin Huang started reading the article as soon as he opened it.
"There were 16 murders in foothold No.7B61 yesterday morning. After an investigation by the city guards, the initial cause of death was determined to be human homicide. It was not caused by monsters that sneaked into the foothold. The case is still under investigation, please do not panic … "
"Xiagong City is such a big foothold, yet the security is so bad?" Lin Huang frowned after reading the news.
If this had happened a few days earlier, he would not have chosen Xiagong City as his destination. He was not afraid of anything, but it was different when he was with Lin Xin. He would have a lot of concerns.
Lin Huang then looked up other news about the incident in Xiagong City, but he could not find any more detailed information. Perhaps it was because the incident had just been exposed, and all the media outlets were very cautious in their choice of words.
If monsters managed to infiltrate a large number of strongholds, it would be big news. It would probably cause a riot among the civilians. Before the matter was investigated, the media did not dare to speak carelessly.
After closing the news page, it was already 6: 05 pm. Lin Huang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after seeing the time. He sent a message to Lin Xin, "It's time for dinner."
After waiting for two or three minutes, Lin Xin did not reply, nor did she knock on the door. This made Lin Huang faintly feel that something was wrong.
He dialed Lin Xin's video call, but after two rings, the connection was suddenly disconnected.
"The other party is currently busy and is unable to accept your video request …"
"Something's wrong!" Lin Huang immediately realized that something must have happened to Lin Xin. She would never cut off his video call request.
Lin Huang stood up with an ugly expression. He went straight to Lin Xin's door and pressed the doorbell.
After pressing the doorbell for more than ten times, there was still no movement from Lin Xin's room.
He turned around and returned to his room's balcony. He stepped on the balcony's railing and jumped to the balcony of Lin Xin's room a few meters away. Then, he kicked the sliding glass door of her room into pieces.
Lin Huang's behavior quickly attracted the attention of the people on the deck of the spaceship. Someone immediately reported it to the staff.
Lin Huang did not have time to deal with these things. He entered Lin Xin's room and looked around.
Lin Xin was not there, and the room looked normal. There were no signs of struggle or fighting. Something must have happened to her after she left the room.
After activating Blood Hunt, Lin Huang quickly determined Lin Xin's area of activity in the room.
She spent most of her time near the sofa in the living room. That should be where she opened the Gun Master cabin every day.
Other than that, the area between the sofa and the door was obviously the area she frequented.
Following the scent, Lin Huang opened Lin Xin's door and walked toward the floating elevator.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the floating elevator, the mechanical door opened automatically. A group of staff in security uniforms surrounded him.
"Sir, are you the guest in Room 156? Someone reported that you forced your way into the neighboring Room 157. To protect the safety of the other passengers, please cooperate with our investigation. "The person in the lead seemed to be the captain. He looked at Lin Huang with an unfriendly expression.
"I'm the guest in Room 156. My sister lives in Room 157. I can provide the purchase records of the tickets to prove that I booked both rooms. " As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, he projected the purchase records of the tickets. "I'll pay for the damage to the room. The problem now is that my sister went missing on your ship. I don't have time to pursue this matter with you for now. Please don't get in my way and stop me from looking for her. "
Of course, the captain knew that Lin Huang's purchase records were real. Experienced crew members like them could tell at a glance. He could not help but frown when he heard what Lin Huang said.
"Are you sure she's missing?"
"I'm very sure! If you want to help, help me look at the surveillance. Let me know if there's any news. I'll go down and look. "Lin Huang did not dare to waste any time.
"Alright, I'll look at the surveillance. When was the last time you saw her?" The captain asked.
"After lunch, we went back to the room at around 12: 30."
"Both of you follow the guest. I'll go to the surveillance room with the others." The captain made the arrangements quickly.
Lin Huang did not refuse the two security guards. He brought them all the way down to the first floor.
He quickly followed the scent and found the bar on the first floor. But when he got there, Lin Xin's scent disappeared.
Lin Huang noticed that behind the bar counter, there was an air cleaner that was swallowing all kinds of odor molecules in the air.
"Boss, have you seen this girl?" Lin Huang walked to the counter and showed Lin Xin's photo.
"She came an hour ago and left in less than a minute." The bar owner waved his hand. "She wanted honey. This is a bar. I don't have that kind of thing!"
"Did anyone talk to her on the way?" Lin Huang frowned slightly.
"No, my bar usually has very few customers before nine o 'clock. That girl came in and asked and then left. Even if someone wanted to talk to her, it was too late. "
"Do you have surveillance video here? I want to see it. "After Lin Huang said that, he took out a year old Life Crystal and put it on the counter.
"I'd like to earn money from you, but I can't. My surveillance camera here is old-fashioned. It hasn't been changed for more than 20 years. Now, it's only turned on at night when there are many people to avoid trouble. I don't turn it on during the day. "The bar owner spread his hands helplessly." If you don't believe me, you can come in and check it yourself. "
Although Lin Huang believed what the bar owner said, he still stuffed the Life Crystal into the bar owner's hand and went behind the counter to check.
Sure enough, as the bar owner said, not only was there no surveillance video during the day, but even the surveillance videos from a few months ago were only taken at night.
"I've already said that I don't want your Life Crystal Fragments," the shopkeeper declined.
"Take it." Lin Huang shook his head and did not take it back.
Coming out from behind the counter, Lin Huang frowned. He had lost all clues in his investigation.
Right at that moment, the communication device of one of the security guards rang. He picked up the call and said a few words to Lin Huang, "Our leader has found some videos. He wants you to take a look at them."
"Okay!" Lin Huang quickly followed the two out of the bar …
