But on the afternoon of the third day, Claire called. "Luke, Stacy is missing."
Luke was a little stunned, but he wasn't too panicked. "Don't panic. Explain the situation."
Hearing the calm and calm voice on the other end of the line, Claire calmed down a little and began to quickly explain what had happened.
It was indeed a little strange.
Today, when Claire's crew went to the abandoned town to shoot, a woman in her late twenties ran up to them on the road into town and asked if they had seen a little girl.
Of course, the crew hadn't seen any little girl, and the woman continued to jog away.
Not long after, a policewoman caught up from behind and asked if they had seen the woman. The crew naturally pointed ahead.
Claire asked the policewoman why she was chasing the woman, and the policewoman said that she suspected that the woman had kidnapped a little girl.
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't think too much of it.
With the policewoman chasing after the woman, there was no need for them to volunteer. The crew was still very tight on filming time.
In the end, Claire was a little curious, so she pulled Stacy and chased after the woman.
If the policewoman caught the woman, they could take a look.
If the woman wanted to escape, they could just stop her.
Stacy was a little opposed to getting involved.
V was much stricter with her than Luke was with Claire.
He wouldn't beat her up, but it would be a nightmare to copy the safety regulations.
Stacy didn't want to relive the feeling of being a student.
But they could all tell that the woman's temperament, movements, and figure were that of an ordinary housewife.
Coupled with the fact that Claire was holding her back, she could only follow.
In the end, the policewoman returned with the woman two hundred meters later, and they talked as they walked.
The four of them bumped into each other at the entrance of the abandoned town.
The policewoman then nodded at them and continued to lead the woman back.
Feeling a little bored, Claire stopped and waited for the crew to come over.
Bored, she put on her headphones and listened to her new song.
A moment later, the mysterious old man suddenly warned that Stacy was missing.
She turned around, only to see that there was no one next to her.
After running back a few meters and turning the corner, the mysterious old man said that Stacy had gone missing here.
Looking at an almost straight cliff on the left and a deep ravine dozens of meters on the right, Claire was dumbfounded. How the f * ck could they disappear like this?
A moment later, the crew also arrived. They searched the area for a while, but they did not find any suspicious traces on the cliffs or deep ravines.
Stacy, the policewoman, and the woman had disappeared just like that.
Luke frowned. "Are you still here?"
Claire: "… Yes."
Luke said, "Go back to Saint Tria with the crew and wait for me there."
Claire said, "But Stacy …"
"Do you think you're a detective just because you've been an intern for a few days?" Luke's voice turned stern. "Get out. I'll have someone arrive in half an hour."
Claire hesitated for a moment, then obediently obeyed.
As Luke had said, it wasn't easy to find someone.
Claire and the others were in an abandoned town. There was no one around for dozens of kilometers.
If they kept searching, another person might go missing, and the problem would become even more complicated.
What Luke didn't say was that Stacy was the most resilient person in the crew apart from Claire.
If she was in danger, only Claire could save her.
But Claire didn't even know how she had gone missing. What was the point of her staying there?
Luke couldn't let her wait in a potentially dangerous place for him to go over.
Luke informed Selina, who was in the middle of her training, and was about to drive over himself.
But Selina immediately said that she would go with him.
In less than a minute, the SUV drove out of the house and headed west under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Selina and Gold Nugget were in the backseat.
Because she was in a hurry, she had gotten into the car without changing.
Now, she was wiping her sweat with a towel from the glove compartment. She then put on the nano suit and changed into the spare clothes in the car before returning to the front seat.
Luke asked, "Gold Nugget, what's going on over there?"
Gold Nugget picked up the phone and quickly typed a message to Luke's phone.
Selina took his phone and selected voice mode, and the phone automatically read the situation that the dog head had sent.
Unlike Claire, Gold Nugget 2 had sharper senses, but it couldn't tell Claire.
In hindsight, when the policewoman and the woman turned the corner, the footsteps suddenly disappeared.
Stacy had been a few meters behind Claire, and had been at the edge of the corner, so she disappeared as well.
The dog head hadn't been paying attention to Stacy at the time, and it didn't notice anything unusual until a few seconds later, which alerted Claire.
But even with its sense of smell, it couldn't find out where Stacy had gone, so it could only ask the fiend for help.
It wasn't its responsibility for Stacy's disappearance, but if Claire disappeared as well, the fiend would definitely kick the dog out like a ball.
Hearing what happened, Selina's expression quickly turned solemn. "Stacy and the two women disappeared at the corner. Was that some kind of superpower?"
Luke hummed in response. "Claire was just a few meters away. Making three people disappear in an instant — it's like teleportation, right? Also, there's no smell left. Was it released remotely? "
The dog head's sense of smell wasn't much worse than Luke's, and it had confirmed this repeatedly.
For the time being, this was the only possibility that Luke could think of.
While the two of them and the dog were driving off, the level-two clone had already put on his armor and flown across New York to Pennsylvania first.
Even with Elementary Driving, it would be good enough for Luke to drive 150 to 180 kilometers an hour on the interstate.
It would take at least three hours for him to reach Claire and the others.
The clone would fly over in his armor as soon as he left New York City, and would be able to reach them in thirty minutes.
That was why Luke said, "I'll get someone there in half an hour," and didn't mention himself.
If he needed to use his full strength, it was best for his clone, which wasn't afraid of death, injury, or being tracked down.
Besides, as long as the clone arrived, Luke and Selina could use the remote-controlled robot to go online at any time.
Very soon, the clone arrived in Santa Teresa.
He simply released two remote-controlled robots and a large number of drones in the town before he immediately headed for the abandoned town thirty kilometers away.
Selina had already put down the front seat, fastened her body with a seatbelt, and lay down with the remote-controlled helmet.
The remote-controlled robot quickly caught up with the crew who were returning to Santa Teresa.
But she didn't show herself, and simply followed them not far away to escort them back.
Wearing his armor, Luke arrived at the intersection where Stacy had disappeared in two minutes and landed.
