"It's me, who are you?" Sun Yan asked.

"My name is Aik. I'm a member of California's mysterious phenomena regulatory agency. I got your contact from Joles and hope to collaborate with Father Jackson. Our department has run into big trouble this time."

"..." Sun Yan remained silent.

He never expected someone from such a department would come to him unexpectedly. He wondered if it had something to do with his inability to leave San Francisco.

"Father Jackson, our department recently discovered some anomalies in San Francisco, and the strangeness of the situation has exceeded our expectations. We need professional judgment." Aik continued.

"Your department monitors mysterious phenomena and surely has seen a lot of strange things. Why are you seeking my help?" Sun Yan asked.

"Because the matter we've encountered this time is far beyond our imagination; I need help from a professional in this field."

Aik sighed, "Father Jackson, please be assured, as long as you're willing to help, payment is not an issue."

"Sorry, I can't help you with this, find someone else." Sun Yan said blandly and promptly hung up the phone.

He was now sure that his inability to leave San Francisco was definitely related to last night's ritual by Klein.

Being caught in such a situation, he absolutely couldn't expose himself to public view. To break free, he must hide behind the scenes; only then would there be a chance to jump out of this chessboard.

Thinking of this, Sun Yan opened the contacts and dialed the number of the landline in the graveyard.

Beep beep beep!

After a dozen seconds, the call was answered, and Sosia's voice came from within.

"Hello? Jackson, what's up?" Sosia immediately asked.

"Sosia, listen, I'm in trouble in San Francisco and need your help. Have Elise come to San Francisco right away; I have something for her to do." Sun Yan said seriously.

But in the next moment, Sosia said something that froze Sun Yan's expression and left him stunned.

"Jackson, where exactly is San Francisco?"

Sosia's tone was very serious, not looking like she was joking.

Sun Yan asked in disbelief, "Sosia, are you sure you're not joking? How could you possibly not know San Francisco?"

It's known that during the last incident in Youma Community, Sosia came along with him for the mission, so how could she not know where San Francisco is?

Unexpectedly, Sosia asked in confusion, "Jackson, I've really never heard of a place called San Francisco, if you don't believe me, ask Elise."

Soon, Elise's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello hello! It's me, Jackson, where is San Francisco? I couldn't find it on the map."

Sun Yan's heart sank to the bottom, feeling a bad premonition.

As one of America's famous cities, how could there be anyone who hasn't heard of San Francisco, let alone finding it absent on a map?

Such a situation can only indicate that some sort of anomaly must have occurred.

For instance, because of last night's colorful strange light, the entire city of San Francisco might have been affected, causing it to disappear from this world.

This would also explain why Sun Yan cannot leave San Francisco; the city might have already been forgotten by the world.

In this situation, naturally, he can no longer expect Elise to come help him in San Francisco.

Perhaps the two of them are not even in the same space.

"Never mind, let's leave it for now. I'll contact you if there's anything." Sun Yan disconnected the call and looked up at the distant outline of the Kettel Building.

After a night, the building had returned to normal, but as the venue for the summoning of the Ancient Gods ritual, the problem with San Francisco definitely stemmed entirely from that place.

Spirit Communication!

Sun Yan closed his eyes and attempted to communicate with Crow Yidan's presence. With San Francisco's situation unclear even to himself, it was essential to find some help.

Crow Yidan, who could share a vision with him, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

...

"How is this possible? I can't reach the council! They say they don't know about a place called San Francisco, what's going on?"

In a hotel in San Francisco, a group of people sat in a room, growling in agitation.

It seemed they were faced with the same problem as Sun Yan.

"Last night's colorful light definitely had issues; the members of the Undead Race must have done something." One member of the Evil God Council said seriously while slowly drinking from a glass of water.

On the windowsill, Crow Yidan was overlooking the scenery on the street. Suddenly, as if sensing something, it spread its wings and swiftly disappeared into the sky.

The members of the Evil God Council in the room showed no reaction to Crow Yidan's actions, indicating that they were accustomed to it.

In the Evil God Council, as the Speaker's pet, representing the Speaker's authority, Crow Yidan's status was far above theirs, so they never intervened in its actions.

Flying to where Sun Yan was in the hotel, Crow Yidan gracefully lowered its head, "Sir, any orders?"

"I need you to command your crow flock to monitor the entire San Francisco. Report back to me regardless of any strange occurrences you find," Sun Yan said solemnly.

"Understood." Crow Yidan spread its wings without hesitation and flew away.

Now San Francisco had become a chessboard, and everyone inside was a pawn. To break the situation, you need to have enough information; the more Sun Yan knows, the better he can decide his next steps.

...

San Francisco Third Forest Park.

A deer was strolling through the forest when suddenly a rustling sound attracted its attention.

It stopped in its tracks, looking forward in confusion, only to see a big chunk of squirming flesh slowly crawling out from the shrubs.

The surface of the flesh grew dozens of beast heads: deer, wolves, dogs, cats, all glaring at the deer with red pupils.

Driven by the instinct of a wild animal, the deer was about to turn and run. However, at this moment, its eyes suddenly shone with colorful glints dominated by pink.

All its fur began to shed at this moment, turning flesh and blood blurred, while its limbs seemed to be affected by some invisible force, twisting and contorting, as its whole body gradually twisted into a pretzel shape, ultimately transforming into a chunk of flesh, with only one deer head remaining.

The massive flesh chunk then approached, merging the deer, and gradually fused into one complete entity.

On a treetop nearby, a crow silently observed all this, capturing the scene in its eye.

As the giant beast flesh lump gradually moved away, the crow soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of San Francisco City.
