The whole square was dead silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu An, and they frowned.
Teng Biao, the leader of the League of Mercenaries, did not say anything. Even Yu Shi, the captain of the Yu family, did not say anything. It was a very serious matter to lose a person all of a sudden. In order for the league to proceed smoothly, every team had the obligation to help clarify this matter.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Lu An quickly spread his hands and continued to explain, "Ever since I came out of the tent, I've been chatting with others for the past four hours. My tent was still open, and many people saw it! What could I do in this situation? If I could make a living person disappear silently, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now! "
"…"
Chen Tuo, the leader of the Yin Killing Organization, immediately asked the others loudly, "Have any of you seen him?"
Everyone looked at each other, and soon many people raised their hands. Not only the people of the Yu family, but many people from other families also raised their hands, indicating that they had seen Lu An.
Seeing this, Chen Tuo frowned even more. If so many people had seen this, then it was indeed impossible for this person to be the culprit. Moreover, this person was right. It was absolutely impossible for him to escape from the surrounding guards with his strength. But … if this guy had nothing to do with it, where did he go?
Chen Tuo was lost in thought, but soon he looked up and said, "That is to say, we know for sure that the last place he was seen was in your tent. Take me to your tent!"
Lu An nodded and led everyone to his tent. The tent was wide open, and people could see everything from the outside. Chen Tuo walked into the tent and looked around. He knocked on the ground and carefully sensed the aura in the tent. There was indeed nothing.
Strange!
It was really strange!
How could a living person disappear into thin air?
Soon Chen Tuo walked out of the tent. Everyone knew that they had found nothing, but this made Lu An less suspicious. Teng Biao walked to Chen Tuo and said, "The biggest possibility now is that he escaped by himself. I don't know how he escaped from the guards' eyes."
Chen Tuo frowned even more. This was indeed the last possibility, but even so, why did he do it?
Yan Yan was a talent valued by the Yin Killing Organization. She was powerful and didn't use any of the organization's resources to cultivate her. She had also made a lot of contributions to the organization. The boss of the organization valued the talent of graduate students very much. The son of the boss also liked graduate students very much. In the future, he would definitely be one of the top figures in the organization. Why did he run away? She was definitely not the type to run away from a battle!
Chen Tuo raised his head abruptly and looked at Lu An. He asked in a cold voice, "What did the two of you say and do in the tent? Tell me everything!"
Lu An was stunned. After thinking hard, he quickly said, "Miss Yan and I felt like old friends at first sight. We were in love with each other. We talked about some topics about love and the future in the tent. She said that after this mission is over, if both of us are still alive, she will marry me! "
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!
How could he say something like that when he had just met her? Although this was not impossible and was not uncommon in the Underground World, everyone was still shocked when they heard it!
There was no doubt that Lu An was talking nonsense, but this was the only thing he could do to prevent himself from spilling the beans. In the past four hours, he had already thought about how to face these people's questions. He didn't know about Kong Yan's experience in the Yin Killing Organization, so he could only say that feelings and the future were right.
The faces of the members of the Yin Killing Organization were very gloomy. Yan Yan was so beautiful, so she was naturally very popular in the organization. Many people had fantasized about her, but the boss's son also liked her, so they had no chance. However, even the boss's son couldn't win Yan Yan's heart. In the past two years, Yan Yan had been indifferent to him. How could she suddenly fall in love with an outsider at first sight?
However, no one could say anything about feelings. No matter how many doubts they had, they could only endure it. They couldn't ask Lu An what exactly Yan Yan liked about him.
The atmosphere was in a deadlock. Even Chen Tuo didn't know what to ask. It was not good to continue like this. Teng Biao said to Chen Tuo, "Let's disperse first. We'll think about it slowly."
Then, Teng Biao said to Yu Shi, "Brother Yu, please keep an eye on this young man. Don't let him disappear."
Yu Shi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will."
Soon, everyone dispersed, but the atmosphere had completely changed. Compared with the previous harmonious atmosphere, the atmosphere of the entire alliance was very strange. All the teams returned to their own areas and discussed in low voices. If it was not Lu An's problem, and it was not Yan Yan's problem, then there was only one possibility left.
That was — there was something wrong with this place!
This place was only 20,000 miles away from the Underworld. It was said that no one who entered the Underworld had ever come out alive. Could it be that the Underworld was causing trouble?
For a time, everyone was in danger. Going to the Underworld made everyone very nervous, but they tried their best not to show it. However, when this matter came out, everyone's tense hearts were immediately on the verge of collapse.
"In order to maintain morale, I suggest we put this matter aside for now." In the meeting tent, all the captains of the 20 teams were present. Teng Biao said to Chen Tuo seriously, "Now that we have lost Yan Yan, we have to accept this fact. With Yan Yan's strength, she should have escaped far away. Her subordinates can't catch up with her at all, unless all 20 of us set out to search in all directions."
"My idea is to look at the big picture." Teng Biao continued, "Let's first conquer the Underworld. This is the purpose of this trip."
Except for Chen Tuo, the other 18 people nodded. After all, this matter had nothing to do with them. They just wanted to destroy the Underworld to prevent future troubles.
Chen Tuo looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Yan Yan is very important to the organization. How do I explain this to the boss?"
"…" Teng Biao's face revealed a difficult expression. In the end, he sighed and said, "To say something that shouldn't be said, this trip is extremely dangerous. Brother Chen, you can say that she disappeared in the Underworld."
Everyone nodded one after another. If the responsibility was placed on the Underworld, no one could say anything.
Chen Tuo looked at these people. Although he could say that, it also meant that he had to get the eighteen members to agree on the same thing. It was extremely difficult to get everyone's description to agree on the same thing. Just asking for details was an impossible task, unless … he killed everyone!
Chen Tuo took a deep breath and did not say anything. The others looked at Chen Tuo helplessly. Teng Biao said to everyone, "The plan remains unchanged. We will set off the day after tomorrow. Everyone get ready!"
Everyone nodded and left the tent. Chen Tuo did the same.
Yu Shi quickly returned to his tent area. Seeing Yu Shi return, the team members who were waiting outside immediately stood up. Yu Yan quickly asked, "Second uncle, how is it?"
"It's fine for now." Yu Shi looked at everyone and said, "We will set off the day after tomorrow. You don't have to worry about this matter."
Then, Yu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know how she disappeared, to prevent similar things from happening again, everyone should stay in the same tent in pairs!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Yu Jiang, Yu Chong, and Yu Zi naturally did not like to share a tent with others. However, they could not disobey their second uncle's words. Lu An frowned slightly. Other than Yu Yan, no one here would take the initiative to share a tent with him.
However, men and women should not touch each other. If he and Yu Yan entered the same tent, people would definitely gossip. Thus, Lu An did not return to the tent. Instead, he sat outside. Of course, Yu Yan was by his side the whole time.
Not long after, a figure came from afar. It was Huo Yan. She leisurely walked to Lu An and sat down in front of him. She said, "You really didn't take her away?"
Lu An looked at Huo Yan. He knew that this woman was very smart. He smiled bitterly and said, "How do you think I could have done it?"
"The world is big. Nothing is certain." Huo Yan shrugged slightly and said, "And I have a feeling that your purpose in coming to the Dark Underworld is different from the others."
"Don't you know?" Lu An said, "I lost my memory. It might be related to the Dark Underworld."
"Lost your memory?" Huo Yan revealed a beautiful smile and said, "Then I will continue to believe you."
