Chapter 207: The Return of the Missing Population_1

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The Return of the Missing Population_1The judgement of Song Lan and Lu Xiang regarding the uninvited guest’s identity was surprisingly consistent.

If Medea really could live in Section 17 for a full two years without anyone noticing, then her dwelling place must be isolated from the world.

For example, what the King Bug mentioned—underground.

The moment she was exposed under any surveillance camera, Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical would immediately locate her.

But then, another puzzle followed.

After the two arrived at Ge Fu’s shop, they inspected every room and found no signs of manmade damage, yet the King Bug said she escaped by burrowing through the ground.

Guided by the King Bug, the two stood just two steps away from the glass ecosystem box, which was the suspected spot where Medea’s visitor had left.

The ground beneath their feet was solid, and even when Song Lan extended his Psychic Abilities, he couldn’t sense any secrets beneath the shop.

The entire area below the shop was solid concrete, with no hidden tunnels; even if one were to shrink to the size of the Horn Bug, it would be impossible to escape underground.

"Psychic?"

After much contemplation, Lu Xiang couldn’t help but lean towards the realm of Spiritual Energy, because neither existing technological means nor genetic modification could allow someone to burrow into the ground without altering its surface.

Song Lan added, "Or perhaps a Consciousness Entity."

According to his understanding of Elmon, as a Ghost, it was theoretically possible for him to phase underground, but he said theoretically because overlapping a Consciousness Entity with a physical object would bring enormous mental burden. If he remained within walls or underground for a long time, he would quickly be enveloped by darkness and fear.

For Consciousness Entities, fear is not merely a simple emotion; overly intense emotions could affect the stability of their existence, which was why, for safety reasons, Song Lan prohibited Elmon from engaging in such practices.

Not all fears of the unknown are worth exploring and conquering.

"That makes sense. If Medea could avoid cameras and somehow travel beneath the surface, it’s normal that Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical’s spies planted in this city couldn’t find her."

Lu Xiang thoughtfully said, "Judging by Ge Fu’s description, it’s very likely she has injected herself with gene-altering drugs. She has already developed characteristics of the Horn Bug, which is probably why the King Bug recognized her as one of its kind and was able to communicate with her."

This meant that it was time to update the contents of the criminal manual.

Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical had described Medea as a re

Since he needed to assume the identity of a "concerned citizen," he had to create the illusion of living alone.

"Yes."

Lu Xiang nodded, "I’ll give you the address later. It’s the asset of a big company that was sealed, and he’s been sent to a remote prison. You can stay there for a few days... be careful."

"Don’t worry."

Song Lan said, and in his view, Medea probably didn’t want to make too much noise either, which is why she fled the moment Ge Fu discovered her.

Before leaving, the two of them carefully deleted the surveillance footage, erasing all parts of their conversation. Song Lan gave his new address to the King Bug and warned it not to describe his specific appearance.

He believed that to find the one who changed the Horn Bug, Medea would definitely come to the King Bug for information again.

Stepping out of the store, they went their separate ways. Song Lan arrived at the bustling market area of District 17 according to the new address and access card given by Lu Xiang.

The destination was a residential-commercial building that looked very upscale at first glance. Before arriving, he tried to change the image he had always maintained.

He switched out of casual wear, donned an expensive suit, tied a tie with a skull pattern bought from the store, got a 1500-watt hairstyle from an upscale barbershop, put on a pair of black-framed glasses, carried a genuine leather briefcase under his arm, and wore shiny leather shoes, walking into the building like a successful man.

The security personnel downstairs even nodded in greeting to Song Lan as he passed by.

Because of Song Lan’s confident and composed expression, there was no need to verify his identity; it was clear he was one of the wealthy residents of the building.

Just this outfit had cost nearly ten thousand watts.

This was enough to show just how extravagant the life of the wealthy could be.

And there was only one reason for Song Lan’s confidence.

Lu Xiang had said,

This was part of official duties, and no matter how much money was spent, the Law Enforcers department would reimburse it in full.
