Inside a small restaurant in the Old City District of the Capital City.
Due to the remote location and the low consumption level of the Old City District, the business here was evidently not very prosperous.
Only two or three customers were sitting in the entire store.
"Xiaozhang! The customer has finished eating, go clear the table!" The restaurant owner shouted at the only waiter.
"Oh, alright, I'm on it!"
The young waiter, who had been playing a mobile game in the corner, lifted his head and promptly responded.
He then leisurely walked over to the table where the guests had just been, expertly tidying the plates.
But when he reached the last bowl of seaweed egg soup, he noticed it was almost untouched and still sitting full in the center of the table.
With a curious gaze, he observed the surface of the soup, then touched his chin and said, "Are you in that much of a hurry to contact me now?"
He pondered for a long time.
It wasn't until the restaurant owner's face turned increasingly ugly that the waiter didn't dare laze around any further and quickly cleaned up the food scraps on the table.
Finally, he poured out the seaweed egg soup.
He also took off the old apron tied around his waist.
Seeing this kid loosen his apron in the middle of the day and even tidied up his cheap clothes, the restaurant owner couldn't help but step forward and say, "What? You don't want to work anymore?"
However, he was taken aback when the waiter, who had always been respectful, turned his head to reveal a frigid expression that seemed to freeze.
Before the owner could react and say something, he saw the waiter take out a blood-red pen and scribble something in the air towards him.
"Thank you for looking after me during this time, I'll leave my salary, and you can start witnessing the prosperous future now." The waiter's voice was as chilling as eternal ice.
Pop —
The next second, a large "death" character appeared on the owner's forehead.
With his increasingly terrified gaze, the whole person fell straight to the ground, never getting up again, yet the remaining diner in the store continued to eat, pretending not to see anything.
The waiter silently turned around and went to the back kitchen, once again picking up the blood-red pen from earlier.
He drew a very basic rectangular shape on the wall, barely recognizable as a kind of door.
Then he pushed open the drawn door and slowly stepped into the wall, and faintly from within came voices respectfully calling: "Greetings, Pioneer, do you have any instructions?"
"Prepare to relocate that girl to Base One, have everyone at Base Four withdraw, and seal it completely before leaving."
"Yes!"
......
......
"Quick, quick, quick! Pack up and prepare to relocate!"
"Damn it! I haven't finished my experiment yet!"
"Don't fuss, if you have concerns, bring them up with the Pioneer later."
"..."
Listening to the clattering outside the interrogation room, everyone in the Promised Land's hidden lair seemed to be hurriedly packing up to leave.
Puppet Ghost felt bewildered.
It had just fed its newly constructed memory to Meng Die less than an hour ago.
Why was everyone already planning to run away?
Before it could react, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again, and this time the person who entered was still the woman in the white coat who had witnessed Meng Die reading memories alongside the locksmith.
She looked at Puppet Ghost coldly and said, "Thanks to you, we have to relocate again. I hope your value really is as significant as the Pioneer says!"
Saying this, without waiting for Puppet Ghost to inquire, she stepped forward and jabbed it in the arm with a needle.
In an instant, a large dose of anesthesia was injected.
This dosage would probably make an ordinary person just sleep through; even Puppet Ghost felt it.
But Puppet Ghost didn't resist, merely pretending to be affected by the anesthetic, it slumped down as though plunged into a deep sleep.
The woman unlocked its handcuffs and chains, stripped it bare to ensure it carried no suspicious items, and covered its pale body with her white coat before carrying it out.
During the relocation, listening to the complaints and discussions around them, Puppet Ghost gradually understood what was happening.
"Oh, Pioneer already recognized Luo Fei's ability's importance. To prevent any mishap, they're planning to abandon this hiding place and move her to a safer location for the next phase of research."
"Damn, they're overly cautious!"
Puppet Ghost felt speechless.
It had been taken through countless hiding places by the nameless guy accompanying it, with probes even at the front door, before being locked in the interrogation room.
In this situation, Pioneer still believed the hidden lair might be exposed and chose to abandoned it!
Yet, this meticulous caution excited Puppet Ghost.
After all, it signaled Pioneer's focus on the matter, indicating that when they arrive, even if not their true self, they would be a replica containing a large amount of Consciousness Fragment, almost identical to their real self.
If captured, they would certainly suffer significant losses!
The entire relocation process continued for several hours.
Until Puppet Ghost grew drowsy, finally feeling the person carrying it come to a halt.
At this moment, Wu Liang's voice resounded through Ghost Compendium within Puppet Ghost's mind: "What are you doing? How did I track you to Shenhu now?"
Lying in a shabby village passing time, waiting for Puppet Ghost's news, Wu Liang nearly fainted.
Through Ghost Compendium, he detected Puppet Ghost's location moving rapidly, leaving Capital City within moments, crossing Huaxia's north-south boundary within an hour, and arriving at the coast at Shenhu several hours later.
What exactly happened?
How did it cross all of Huaxia and run so far?
"I don't know, boss, they stuck a needle in and started running, we might meet Pioneer soon, should I swap you now?" Puppet Ghost stumbled as it spoke.
Even it didn't expect the Promised Land folks to relocate directly from Capital City to Shenhu City!
"Don't rush, confirm it's really Pioneer first, then notify me for the swap." Wu Liang pondered for a moment before responding.
He knew such traps could only be used once.
If Pioneer wasn't significantly harmed this time, capturing them before the second Supernatural Calamity would be nearly impossible!
Before Puppet Ghost could continue chatting with Wu Liang, it suddenly heard a calm voice say: "How long do you want to pretend to sleep?"
"Didn't you want to see me? Open your eyes; I'm right here…"
"!?"
