Chapter 429: Chapter 270: The Little Girl’s Request_3

However, what greeted him was a blast of red lightning that hit him directly in the face.

"Boom!"

The man with the hooked nose had his entire life force drained by a single bolt of lightning. His pupils dilated in disbelief as he stared at Mu You, his mouth opened to say something, but with his life force quickly ebbing away, he didn’t have time to make a sound. He collapsed to the ground, completely still.

The man made one mistake. Mu You was not interested in making a name for himself. His sole objective was simply to unravel the truth. Now that he had discovered what he needed to know, these two men had outlived their usefulness.

As for the so-called ’formatting,’ Mu You never considered confronting these men, let alone considering the possibility that this man might just be a decoy, meant to deceive. Approaching him directly would be like startling a snake in the grass.

After dealing with the two men, Mu You finally turned to look at the burlap sack behind him.

The sack was already deflated as the little girl in the kimono had slipped out of it quietly during their battle. Now, she was hiding behind a rock, shivering and watching Mu You.

Mu You was considering what to do with the girl when she was the one to break the silence first.

"Are you... are you really someone from the Special Task Force?"

"Huh?" Mu You was taken aback; the little girl was speaking Chinese.

"I am." Mu You nodded.

A pleased expression crossed the little girl’s face, and she stepped out from behind the stone, asking with hope in her voice, "Then can you come with me and save my sister?"

"Save your sister? What happened to her?"

"My sister is sick, very sick. I’m afraid she won’t last much longer..." the little girl said.

"Does your sister... have a shadow?" Instead of asking why they didn’t see a doctor when she got sick, Mu You speculated instead. He wondered if this little girl’s sister might be the embodiment of the Shadow Ghost. If that were true, then it would explain why the Shadow Ghost was attracted to the girl.

"Huh?" The girl seemed surprised by Mu You’s question. She furrowed her brows, thought for a while, and then shook her head, "I’m not sure, my sister has been in the hospital room all the time, I haven’t paid attention..."

"Where is your sister now?"

"In... the Cook Islands," the girl answered.

Mu You frowned at her response. He had expected her to mention some place nearby, not an entire world away.

The Cook Islands were located in the Star Spirit World...

When Mu You first encountered the Shadow Ghost, Vivian mentioned this place. The Cook Islands were an area of turmoil located east of the Lan Ai’er Empire.

Also mentioned was an organization called the ’Undead Society’ which was responsible for creating the Shadow Ghosts...

Connecting all the pieces of information, the truth seemed apparent: The girl’s sister was likely one of the ’expendables’ chosen by the Undead Society, and they successfully cultivated a Shadow Ghost from her, which was now with Mu You.

So, were the people from the Undead Society the ones who posted the task of pursuing this girl on the black market?

Thinking this, Mu You took out a satellite phone from his backpack and switched on a device that scanned for hidden tracking devices.

This phone, provided by the Special Task Force, had a high-sensitivity anti-tracking function.

After scanning the girl’s entire body, an alarm sounded when the scan turned on her neck.

Mu You pulled back her collar and found a necklace.

"Who gave you this necklace?"

"My sister did... Eh!"

Before she could finish speaking, Mu You had already snapped the necklace and took it off her. The little girl attempted to reach out for it instinctively, but she was too short to reach Mu You. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"I don’t know why your sister gave you this, but whoever is following you was drawn here by this thing."

Mu You crushed the metal device concealed in the pendant to show the little girl.

"Oh..." the girl understood the meaning of Mu You’s explanation, but watching the pendant being crushed still made her feel upset.

"How did you manage to get to K city all by yourself?" Mu You asked the crucial question.

It was surprising that this girl managed to evade her trackers for so long. She must have had some tricks up her sleeve.

And the sudden appearance and disappearance in his shop yesterday - that must have been her doing.

"I... hopped my way here..." the girl said.

"Hopped? What do you mean by hopped?" Mu You frowned.

"So, it’s like this... and then it’s like that..." The girl gestures non-stop with both arms, seemingly trying to explain something in body language, but unfortunately, her expressiveness is too poor for Mu You to understand at all.

"Ok, let’s not talk about that. Why are you looking for someone from the Special Resonance Department?" Mu You switches to another question.

"My sister told me to!"

The little girl answered this question smoothly, "My sister told me to go to the Celestial Dynasty, find someone from the Special Resonance Department or Dragon Group, and hire them to protect me!"

"Hire?" Mu You pays attention to the keyword in her words.

"Yeah, I also prepared rewards!"

"What kind of reward?"

"It’s this..."

The little girl rummaged through her wide-sleeved kimono for a moment and pulled out a pouch the size of an adult’s palm. She handed it seriously to Mu You. "Once you’ve accepted my rewards, you have to help me. This is the rule!"

Mu You takes the cloth bag with a strange expression.

Originally, he didn’t give it much thought, just assuming it was some kind of toy that the little girl was carrying with her.

However, after opening the bag, the contents surprised him.

Sun City· Nine.

Could it be a piece of the Sky City Map?

Sun City Nine, if he remembers correctly, this piece was randomly obtained from the final strike reward in the destroyed tower. This means that this piece must have been obtained by someone who conquered the tower!

"Where did you get this thing from?" Mu You quickly looked at the little girl and asked.

"My sister gave it to me..." The girl answered.

"Your sister again..."

Mu You was lost for words. Just who was this magnificent sister of yours...

Turning the map over, indeed, an arrow was displayed on the back, indicating that there are other Sun City map pieces on Earth right now. At this moment, someone might be searching for this piece of map.

This little girl has quite the nerve, running around with a piece of the map freely. She’s not only being chased by the Undead Society, but also by the owners of other map pieces. It’s a miracle that she made it here safely.

Without a second thought, Mu You swiftly walked out of the bottle, took out his phone to open the Fool’s game, and stored the map piece in the game.

He then summoned the two corpses to become zombies, controlled them to walk out of the bottle, gave the little girl’s necklace and instrument to them, and commanded the two to jump into a nearby river.

The river leads straight to the sea in the suburbs, and Mu You directed them to swim into the sea, and then to find a place deep in the sea to self-detonate.

After settling these matters, Mu You picked up the bottle and headed home, calling Lu Yao on his old-fashioned phone while he was on his way.

"Hello? Do you know what time it is? You better have a good reason..."

Lu Yao’s sleepy voice rang out, clearly having been awakened from her sleep.

"Do me a favor."

"What?"

"Hide all traces of my actions tonight for me. Also, help me hide another person’s information. I’ll send you her identity and photo later," says Mu You.

"Huh..."

Lu Yao paused for a few seconds on the other end, seeming to suddenly become alert: "What the heck did you do this time?"

"It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when I have time."

"You gotta be kidding me! Waking me up in the middle of the night to help you out, and you’re not even telling me what’s going on, leaving me hanging. Last time it was the same, I’m not going to let you get away with this @#%￥%..." the noise from the other end was a string of curses.

"Two green equipments." says Mu You.

"Oh fucking K! You are so generous, boss!" Instantly, the voice on the other end changed to a coquettish customer service voice.

"Let’s leave it at that, I’ll send you the photo later."

"Okie dokie!"
