Chapter 546 A Corner of the Truth

A glint flashed in Captain Chen's eyes, and he nodded as if bewitched:

"I understand. I will try my best to destroy those monsters when I get back."

Han Lian nodded in satisfaction and returned to the house with Ran Xi and the other two. A moment later, the entire three-courtyard house was completely submerged by white mist. When the Wei Lan family brought the Gongsun brothers to confront them, the white mist dissipated and they found a flat plain in front of them, with no house in sight.

"How is this going?"

The captain of the guards of the Wei Lan family asked with dissatisfaction.

The Gongsun brothers exchanged a glance, then shook their heads simultaneously, saying:
"We don't know either. There was definitely a house here before!"

The captain of the Wei Lan family's guards said to the people behind him:
"Go check the surveillance footage; I don't believe they just disappeared for no reason."

Afterwards, Wei Lan's family and the Gongsun brothers entered the Special Department building.

When everyone saw the surveillance footage, they discovered that the four people and the house had indeed vanished into thin air. In particular, when the four people left the Special Department building, Ranxi glanced in the direction of the surveillance camera, and there was mockery and disdain in that glance.

Ranxi was the last to enter the house. After the vermilion gate closed, the entire house was engulfed by a white mist that seemed to come from nowhere. The mist only dissipated before they arrived, and the people and the house were gone.

The captain of the Wei Lan family's guards frowned and looked at Minister Ruobai, asking:

"Minister Ruobai, you were the last person those four saw. What did you say to them? Do you know where they went?"

If Minister Bai shook his head, he would reply in a calm tone:

"When Ms. Ranxi came to see me, she only told me that Wei Lanliang had been disrespectful to her first, so she destroyed his soul. In order to avoid conflict with the Wei Lan family, they would leave first. As for where they were going, Ms. Ranxi did not say at all."

The captain of the guards frowned and said:
"Minister Ruobai, why didn't you stop them?"

If Minister Bai glanced at the other party, he would reply in a lukewarm manner:
“Ms. Ranxi went to Weilan’s house alone. You couldn’t stop her when she was alone. Now that all four of them have come to see me at the same time, I have no way to stop them.”

These words left the guard captain speechless. He then snorted coldly and led his men out of the Special Department building to relay the news back.

The guard captain even contacted Captain Chen of the military, but unfortunately, he ran into Academician Nosk's men on the way.

Norsk pushed up his glasses and asked loudly:
"Captain Chen, what's going on? Didn't I tell you to follow Ms. Hanlian? Why are you turning back? Where are Ms. Hanlian and her companions?"

Captain Chen then seemed to wake from a dream, looked around at the people around him, and gasped as he explained:

“Mr. Norsk, I only remember that Ms. Hanlian called me over and said a few words to me, and then I don’t know anything until you woke me up just now.”

The vice-captain also looked at the captain with a strange expression, but he still said:

“I only saw you exchange two words with Ms. Hanlian, and then they went back to that mansion. Immediately afterwards, you ordered us to return to the base. I asked you then if we didn’t have to go with Ms. Hanlian anymore. You said you had other arrangements and told us to leave immediately. Don’t you remember any of this?”

Captain Chen shook his head like a rattle drum:
"I do not remember!"

Norsk was furious but helpless. He could only take Captain Chen back to the base for a full medical check-up before investigating the details.

When Wei Lansong contacted the research base deep in the desert, the people there confirmed that they had also lost contact with Ms. Hanlian.

Wei Lansong could only order the search to continue. He didn't believe that people could disappear into thin air. Only Wei Lanlan knew that Master Ranxi had appeared out of thin air back then, and naturally, she wouldn't let anyone find her when she disappeared.

The Wei Lan family publicly stated that Wei Lanliang died suddenly due to overwork, held a simple funeral, and then dismissed the matter.

The other families paid no attention to the news, simply assuming that Wei Lanliang's reincarnation had come to an end. The matter caused no stir in high society. Meanwhile, Yunxi and her three companions, who were being watched by the Special Department, the military, and the Wei Lan family, had already appeared at the headquarters of the Special Department in District C, standing before Elder Nan, the head of the Reincarnation Department.

Old Nan opened his somewhat dim eyes and looked at the four people in front of him. He had only met Yun Chen once, but he had already roughly guessed the identities of the other three, so he calmly said:

"Please have a seat, all four of you. I didn't know you had arrived so soon. It was my fault for not greeting you in advance."

"Amitabha! We have disturbed you."

The four of them then casually found a place to sit down, handing over the initiative of the conversation to Yunxi and Yunchen.

Yun Chen first introduced Ran Xi and the other two to Elder Nan, and then said:

"We came here to check out the reincarnation system, and we also have some questions for you."

Old Nan adjusted himself into a comfortable position and then said bluntly:

"Ask me anything you want to know! I'll tell you everything I know."

This was Yunxi's first time meeting Elder Nan, but he exuded a strong aura of old age. Just as Yunchen had said, he wouldn't live much longer, and that he had already exhausted all means to keep going until now. She was worried that he would die before he could finish answering her questions.

So before asking the question, she raised her hand and flicked a wisp of spiritual energy into Elder Nan's body, allowing the spiritual energy to slowly nourish his internal organs and prolong his life as much as possible.

Elder Nan felt a warm current flowing through his body, and the feeling of being unable to breathe slowly disappeared. He looked at Yun Xi gratefully and said:

"Thank you, Ms. Ranxi."

Yunxi then smiled and said:

"You don't seem surprised by our appearance. Have you seen us before?"

Old Nan took a breath and said:
"I have never met Ms. Ranxi, but I have met Mr. Yunchen and Ms. Hanlian."

Yun Chen thought that Elder Nan was referring to their previous meeting, but Han Lian was visiting the headquarters of the Special Department in Zone C for the first time, and the two sides should not have met before.

Han Lian asked directly:

"Today should be our first meeting, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Old Nan smiled and said:

"Strictly speaking, what I saw were the portraits of the two people from five hundred years later and the stone tablet inscribed with their achievements."

This time, Yun Chen and Han Lian were surprised, but Yun Xi had a sudden inspiration and looked intently at Elder Nan:

"You come from the future planet Weilan, and the reason why Weilan has been able to survive for five hundred years without completely becoming a ghost realm is because of the appearance of Yun Chen and Han Lian."

Elder Nan nodded and said:

"Yes, Mr. Yun Chen and Ms. Han Lian sacrificed their lives, but they only delayed the destruction of Wei Lan Star and did not completely change the fate of the entire planet."

So after the time-space teleporter was successfully developed, I was assigned to be teleported to a place before the reincarnation system appeared, so as to nip this technology in the bud.

Unfortunately, there was a time discrepancy during the teleportation. When I regained consciousness, I discovered that the reincarnation technology had already been developed. I only had time to cause the Xie couple to die one after the other. I thought I had completed my mission, but…
