He was just holding a broken stick he picked up on the road, practicing his sword moves a little, and almost got exhausted.

My body is far too weak.

He's already considering whether to administer two strong doses of medication tomorrow to try and urge things on a little.

With the blessing of Sword Heart Clarity, Su Chen has now entered the basics of Lonely Shadow.

Unfortunately, due to his weak physique, the sword techniques he could unleash were only one-tenth of their original power.

"At least it's something to look forward to."

If you use strong medicine, you'll see some results in three days.

It will be slightly stronger in seven days.

It will take at least half a month to a month to truly get the body in good condition.

Su Chen is also hesitant now. If he uses strong medicine, the cost of the medicine will probably rise to another level.

The little money I just earned during the day is definitely not enough to cover my expenses.

If the situation inside the city isn't that frightening, there's no need to rush.

"Let's go and find out more information tomorrow, and save as much as we can."

Su Chen closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, before Su Chen could even investigate, after having breakfast, he heard that the entire family next door had disappeared.

Su Chen was startled. After finishing breakfast, she hurriedly returned home to confirm the information.

A large crowd had already gathered outside the neighbor's house to watch the spectacle.

The interior furnishings were very ordinary, except for a few scratch marks in the corner that looked like they couldn't have been left by a human.

"Everyone, stand back!"

The constables herded the onlookers to a distance, and Cui Xia rushed over, revealed his identity, and went straight into the house.

It was done by the same group of people.

Their appetites have grown.

Gray Feather arrived earlier, leaving behind not much of value.

The only distinctive feature was those few scratch marks.

"I checked all the arrangements but didn't find any information."

The other party appeared and disappeared without a trace.

Logically speaking, even a grandmaster should leave a trace of their actions.

Cui Xia frowned, having taken multiple precautions to find the slightest clue.

But now all his methods seem to have been in vain.

It has absolutely no effect!

"Notify the county magistrate that a curfew is imposed within the city."

At the same time, additional personnel were deployed for patrols.

I've already issued the order; several Bai Yu soldiers will arrive soon.

Each Gray Feather commands several White Feathers.

He planned to send Bai Yu over to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire county.

Even if it means turning the whole city upside down, we have to find this culprit.

Several people have gone missing in a short period of time, and no information has been found.

This already shows that he failed to do his job well.

"Old Cui, seal off the scene and remember to leave a hidden handyman."

After committing a crime, these perverts would return to the scene to admire their masterpiece.

It might be an opportunity.

Cui Xia nodded and quickly made the arrangements according to Hui Yu's instructions.

After the two left, the officials put up a seal on the gate, dispersed the crowd, and then left as well.

Su Chen waited in his room for a long time, and when no one was paying attention, he climbed over the wall and entered the neighboring courtyard.

"A common trick used by Moyu Tower?"

Powder, fragrance, and... mechanisms.

What's going on?

Su Chen paused for a moment after smelling the familiar scent in the courtyard.

Although the taste was extremely faint, to Su Chen, the aroma was like a ray of light in the darkness, as obvious as it could be.

"wrong.

It looks like it, but it isn't!

Moyu Tower is something from a game, how could it possibly appear in reality?

"I must be overthinking it!"

Su Chen hypnotized himself, trying not to make the connection.

After using some tricks to evade the pursuers' schemes, Su Chen carefully observed the situation inside the room.

There was a fight.

But it's more like a training exercise?

One side has been being led astray?

These scratches...

He was captured by people.

Su Chen's memories contain the part belonging to the Grandmaster.

He could see more details than Cui Xia and the other two.

Combining this information, the specific circumstances began to reconstruct in Su Chen's mind.

"The person who made the move didn't seem to be simply trying to capture someone; it was more like they were hunting prey."

Search for prey that fits specific conditions.

Or... do we need test subjects?

A master can leave scratches on the ground and walls.

Even some trained hand specialists can do it.

But the traces left inside the room all exude an eeriness.

Because it doesn't look like something left by a martial artist.

It looks more like marks made by an ordinary person.

Furthermore, the presence of traces of a training exercise in the room made Su Chen increasingly suspicious that things might not be so simple.

"I knew it! It's not that easy to live a peaceful life!"

I need to buy medicine right away!

Let's focus on protecting ourselves first!

Chapter 40 Climbing by Myself

For several days in a row, apart from listening to rumors and gathering intelligence as usual, Su Chen didn't leave his room much.

After several days of seclusion, Su Chen's health improved significantly.

"call--

The body adapted much faster than expected.

At least now I can barely be called an ordinary person.

Previously, my health was so poor that I was either fragile enough to collapse at the slightest breeze, or extremely weak.

There's still not much we can do, but things have changed dramatically compared to a few days ago.

"There seems to be no progress in the missing persons case these past few days, and there are still no leads on the thief."

I wonder what the authorities have found out about the investigation.

Su Chen relaxed, not having heard of anyone else going missing.

However, the authorities have not released any information about those who disappeared earlier.

Even at night, the people in the city remained uneasy.

Even though there are patrol officers everywhere on the streets, the people are still afraid.

"The money is being spent too quickly. If the young master of the Xin family doesn't come to see me these past two days, I'll have to take the initiative to go to his door myself."

Su Chen used only the best products, so his money was naturally spent very quickly.

If Xin Shuo's path doesn't work out, Su Chen will have to think of other ways to make money.

"We can't put all our eggs in one basket; we need to see if there are any other ways to make a living."

While Su Chen was still making his plans, Cui Xia and Hui Yu fell silent in the neighboring courtyard.

"That bastard is too arrogant!" Cui Xia spoke first.

The way he left the scene clearly indicated that something had been tampered with, but he was unable to track down any useful information.

The other party not only returned to the scene, but also swaggered around at him!

It's as if it's saying, "Not only do I know you have a backup plan, but I can also break it!"

"Strong capabilities and first-rate methods."
