The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

He also couldn't find any trace of Lilith.

Gu Ran's expression darkened slightly.

Was he tricked?

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Ran did not leave. Instead, he focused his mental energy and searched the surrounding environment more carefully, centering on his location.

289. Gu Ran: Am I the "key" to opening Pandora's box? (4k)

Gu Ran pondered quietly.

Lilith told him to come here, but he hasn't shown up yet.

What factors led to this result?

What puzzled him most was that his telekinesis couldn't detect any trace of Lilith.

Could it be that Lilith has some kind of concealment technique that allows her to evade telekinetic detection?

That's not impossible.

Although few people know about his telekinesis, making him less likely to be targeted, and because his telekinesis has very strong detection capabilities, ordinary walls generally cannot block his telekinetic detection.

However, the world is so vast that there must be some ways to counter telekinesis detection.

For example, the materials used in the buildings he saw in New Testament City last time could block his telekinesis.

It's not impossible that Lilith, as a demon general of the abyss, possesses a method to counter telekinetic detection.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ran decided to stay and wait.

Time passed day and night.

Gu Ran stood up, preparing to leave.

"Lilith!"

Gu Ran's voice echoed through the empty valley.

"If anything happens to her, I will go to the abyss and slaughter the entire demon race, and make you wish you were dead!"

“You know I have this ability.”

Gu Ran's voice sounded calm, as if he didn't care at all about Xue Xiling's life or death.

However, the content of his words made him someone no one dared to underestimate.

No one dares to underestimate the demon race of the abyss; even the power of a single demon general is enough to challenge any major city.

There are as many as 12 such demon generals in the abyss!

In addition to possessing a vast power, each demon general is also incredibly strong, comparable to the most powerful top-tier experts among humans.

If the entire Demon General's forces in the Abyss were to unite, they would be enough to challenge the entire Human Alliance.

If someone else said this, it would certainly sound like boasting.

Do you dare to say that you have slaughtered the entire abyss?

Even if the Human Alliance mobilized all its strongest members, they wouldn't dare say that!

But when Gu Ran said those words, it gave off an air of unquestionable authority.

"Oh dear, you have no patience at all! All I did was make you wait a little longer. Is it really necessary to get so angry?"

Lilith's voice suddenly rang out.

Gu Ran looked up.

A spatial portal suddenly appeared in the sky, and Lilith's figure walked out of it.

She wore a short, leather-like top, her figure was hot, her posture was alluring, and her face had a seductive flush.

The long black tail behind her was wrapped around her snow-white right thigh, as if it were several black ribbons tied around her right thigh.

Gu Ran frowned slightly.

only one person.

Xue Xiling was not by Lilith's side; only Lilith herself appeared.

"An independent space prop?"

Gu Ran recalled the scene when Lilith appeared just now and looked at her with some surprise.

Independent space props, as the name suggests, are props that can open up a small, independent space.

Just like spatial storage items, independent spatial items can also be carried around.

Moreover, what makes it better than a spatial ring is that the independent small space can be entered by living beings.

Or rather, these independent space props seem to be created specifically for housing living beings.

While independent space tunnels have various advantages, they also have some very obvious disadvantages.

In order to fit such a large independent space into a small "prop", the materials used to make the prop are extremely expensive, and it also requires a powerful spatial ability user to spend a lot of time and effort to make it.

Therefore, independent space props are extremely expensive, and they are not necessarily possible to make, because there are at most two space ability users in this world, and they are both in Suzaku City.

Moreover, independent space props have a fatal flaw compared to storage props.

That means the props in the independent space are disposable items.

After an independent space prop is used, the independent space inside it will become increasingly unstable and gradually collapse.

The time it takes to disintegrate depends on the materials used and the strength of the spatial ability user who created the item.

However, it usually does not exceed seven days.

Gu Ran found this information in the library collection of Lanxin University.

As the most important university and research institution in Canglong City, Lanxin University naturally conducts extensive research on the space ability users of its "old friend" Zhuque City.

Gu Ran thus filled in a lot of knowledge and secrets about spatial ability users, so that he wouldn't have to rely solely on his previous self-study to understand them.

"How does Lilith possess so many spatial artifacts?" Gu Ran wondered.

Besides this time, Lilith has used other spatial items many times before.

For example, teleportation items are so plentiful that they seem to be free and usable at will.

Even the minor demon he encountered in Saint-Joy City, who was under Lilith's command, possessed a teleportation device.

The moment he realized something was wrong, he thought of using a teleportation device to escape. If he hadn't awakened a spatial ability at that time, he really wouldn't have been able to keep that demon with him.

Gu Ran suddenly realized that Lilith had an excessive number of spatial items.

Compared to Lilith, he, a former space ability user, seemed like a fake space ability user, as he didn't have any space-related items on him.

Does Lilith have a deep friendship with Leng Feng?

Or do the demons of the abyss have other methods to create spatial artifacts?

Or is there another reason?

Gu Ran dismissed her first guess after it only briefly crossed her mind.

Leng Feng has been famous for many years, and has never heard of any connection with the Abyss Demon.

Moreover, given her temperament, she doesn't seem like someone who would like to get involved with demons.

The second guess was not entirely certain to Gu Ran because he didn't know much about the Abyss either, but he still felt that this guess was unlikely.

Spatial abilities are indeed unique; for thousands of years, only Suzaku City has possessed individuals with spatial abilities.

There must be a special reason for this.

Gu Ran did not believe that the Abyss could break the uniqueness that belonged only to Suzaku City.

However, these are all speculations, and everything needs to be supported by evidence to be confirmed.

Gu Ran asked directly, "You seem to possess a lot of spatial items? How did you obtain them?"

He wasn't expecting Lilith to obediently answer his questions, but rather wondering if he could glean any information from Lilith's attitude and words.

But Lilith's answer surprised him; she actually answered directly.

“Spatial items? Yes, I do have a lot.” Lilith looked at Gu Ran, her eyes flickering slightly. “You asked about this right away, so it seems this question is very important to you?”

In some ways, it is indeed important.

Because this involves the secret of spatial abilities; he used to be a spatial ability user, and his sister is now a spatial ability user.

However, this matter is important but not crucial; the more important thing is to rescue Xue Xiling.

His statement was also intended to disrupt Lilith's preparations.

Lilith kidnapped Xue Xiling to threaten him; she must have some ulterior motive.

With so much time having passed since the abduction, Lilith must have already devised numerous ways to deal with him.

If we bring up Xue Xiling first, we're likely to fall into her rhythm and be led by the nose.

Lilith was indeed difficult to deal with. Although she was somewhat surprised by his question, she did not immediately answer the second question after answering the first one. Instead, she seemingly tested him in a joking manner.

Gu Ran said calmly, "Just out of curiosity. As far as I know, spatial items can only be made by spatial ability users, and spatial ability users are only found in Suzaku City."
