Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be a lone guy here."

"He must have something good on him."

"Hand it over if you know what's good for you, or the guys in our hands won't be so ruthless."

"And that little girl who ran away last time, we finally caught her this time. You guys really outsmarted us brothers last time!"

"This time, we're going to teach you a lesson, and while we're at it, we'll call the people from the Earth Fire side to come and redeem you."

Four homeless men surrounded the two men as they talked.

Chapter 21 March 7th: Ah Bai, what are you doing here too?

Faced with several homeless people with ill intentions, Chen Bai naturally chose to turn them into cats.

After easily dealing with the roadblocks, he and Hook continued on to Rocky Town.

"Wow! Chen Bai, how did you do that? You actually turned those guys into cute little kittens?"

Hook stared at him.

Chen Bai: "I guess you could call this one of my special abilities."

Hook: "Wow, that's amazing! Why don't you join my Mole Party? I can make you my second-in-command!"

If we can get Chen Bai involved, maybe we can fight against that old hag Natasha.

Then I'll be able to go out and have fun everywhere.

"Hook, thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I probably won't be able to stay here for long and may not be able to become your teammate."

Chen Bai politely declined.

Hook's face fell a little when she heard this, but she couldn't force him if he didn't want to join.

The two, one big and one small, chatted idly to pass the time.

Chen Bai also learned some information about Sambo from Hook.

"I never expected that guy would like to take care of kids."

He was somewhat surprised, based on his first impression of Sambo, who seemed to have a cynical attitude, that he actually liked to play with children.

Moreover, Sambo seems to be very mysterious. Even the people in the lower districts of Belberg don't know his background. They only know that he is a somewhat shady underground merchant.

Their other identities were unknown, and when they landed on the Yalilo VI, Sambo deliberately hid in the snow, as if he had anticipated their arrival.

And if one can freely enter and exit the upper and lower levels, then one must be a destined traveler.

Otherwise, how can this situation be explained?

This person seems very mysterious...

Considering his various actions, this person doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them, but he is also playing a role of deliberately guiding them.

Moreover, their actions are completely unpredictable, making them seem somewhat like the group of masked fools who, as Dan Heng previously mentioned, embark on a path of "pleasure."

The Masked Fools are enigmatic and their motives are difficult for most people to discern. They are a group of believers devoted to the God of Pleasure, pursuing their own pleasure throughout the world.

"We've arrived! This is Rocky Town!"

Hook's voice interrupted Chen Bai's thoughts.

The latter looked up and saw a simple underground town.

The town is filled with old buildings, mine tunnels, machinery and pipes, giving it a rough industrial feel. The environment is dim, but mining lamps still illuminate the view.

Many of them were walking on the street.

This is Pan Rock Town!

Although it was a bit lively, it felt much worse than the environment in the lower area.

"Hook, I've been looking for you! Where have you been?"

Suddenly, a spirited and capable young woman walked over.

She has short, neat, gradient-colored hair, mainly blue-purple, and very distinctive red eyes. She also carries a large sickle in her hand.

"Sister Xi'er!"

Hook immediately lunged at Seele upon seeing her.

"Hook, you little rascal, you still haven't told me where you went! Natasha found you were missing and told me to come out and look for you."

Seele said with a hint of helplessness.

Hook, the king of the kids, often ran around, but this little guy was also very lucky, and he even embarked on a path of destiny.

"Huh? That female demon? That's insane!"

Hook's face turned pale.

"Don't worry, Natasha is just worried about you, but you're not allowed to run around like that next time."

Seeing this, Seele quickly offered a word of comfort.

"Uh-huh."

"Then, who is this gentleman who has been staring at me?"

Xi'er immediately turned her gaze to Chen Bai, who had been staring at her.

"Ahem, excuse me, you look a bit like a friend I've met before."

Chen Bai realized his rudeness and quickly apologized.

"That doesn't matter, but where are you from? Tell me your name!"

"Seele asked with a wary look on her face."

She always maintained a high level of vigilance towards outsiders, especially those who disrupted the order of Rock Town.

Before Chen Bai could reply, Hook answered first.

"Sister Xi'er, this big brother named Chen Bai is from above. He said he came from outer space, but Hook couldn't understand him. Anyway, he just helped Hook chase away the bad guys and turned them into cats!"

“Oh?” Seele glanced at Hook, knowing he wouldn’t lie to her about something like this.

From outer space? And it has the ability to turn people into cats...

"I understand. Your name is Chen Bai? Do you have three companions? A little gray-haired guy, a little pink-haired guy, and a black-haired guy?"

Seele seemed to have thought of something and then asked.

"That's right, but how did you know?"

Chen Bai was very curious; was this the first time he and Xi'er had met?

“That’s right. Your companions are also in Rocky Town, currently at Natasha’s camp. I’ll take you to see them.”

Xi'er replied, which immediately made Chen Bai realize the truth.

So they were here on March 7th too, but weren't they perfectly fine in the upper section?

How did we suddenly end up in the lower level?

Chen Bai didn't think much of it and followed Seele with Hook to the entrance of a simple building. A sign hung above it, with several large, clear characters engraved on it—Natasha's Mission.

"arrive."

After Xi'er finished speaking, she opened the door and went inside, and Chen Bai followed her in.

Several familiar voices suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Chen Bai? What are you doing here?"

On March 7th, just as someone entered the door, I looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this what I wanted to ask you?"

Chen Bai paused, then pointed to Xing and Bronya lying on the bed, "And what about them?"

March 7th explained, "I don't know why we were wanted by the Great Protector. Luckily, Danheng noticed quickly... But then Sambo suddenly appeared, released a sleeping gas, and brought us here. I don't know what happened to that Great Protector either. It's infuriating!"

Speaking of this, I can't help but get angry about March 7th.

Because the four of them came with good intentions to help solve the problem of Yalilo VI's star core, they ended up being wanted by the authorities.

They were rescued and brought to this lower area.

"Alright, alright, I understand you're angry, but..."

Chen Bai paused for a moment, then said, "However, I suspect that Cocolia has already been controlled by the Star Core, otherwise they wouldn't have issued arrest warrants for you."

March 7th: "Your deduction is the same as Teacher Danheng's! Why couldn't I guess it?"

Chen Bai: "That's because you have a pair of clear and innocent eyes."

March 7th: ?

What's the meaning?

Chapter 22 A noble horse can drive away all external forces.

"Xi'er, who is he?"

At that moment, Natasha came over.

She has long, flowing, wavy hair, which she usually holds back on one side with a white hair clip. Her eyes are a gentle pale purple. She wears a white doctor's uniform with a red ribbon tied around her arm, and she looks like a kind and lovely older sister.

“Natasha, his name is Chen Bai, he is a companion of March 7th and his group.”

Seele offered an explanation.

“Okay, I understand.” Natasha nodded slightly, then introduced herself to Pei Guang, “Hello, I’m Natasha, a student from this town. I’m glad you’ve come to Rocky Town, although it’s not the right time.”

"Hello, thank you for taking in my companion."

“Well, but—” Natasha’s tone shifted, her eyes sharpening as she looked at Hook, who was trying to sneak out the door, and said, “Hook, where are you going? You haven’t explained to me where you’ve been yet?”

"Old~"

"Hmm?" Natasha narrowed her eyes.

Hook was so frightened that he shut his mouth.

Thank goodness, I almost mispronounced the words "old witch".

She had a strong premonition that if she uttered those three words, she would be met with a severe beating.

So, after organizing her thoughts, she said in a flattering tone, "Sister Natasha, I was wrong. I will never run away again."

Deep down: I'd do it again next time!

Seeing that Hook admitted his mistake so quickly, Natasha's expression softened considerably.

"Very well, I won't pursue your mistake this time. Your father is still looking for you, so go back now."

"it is good--"

Hook, as if granted a pardon, happily ran out of the stadium.

Seeing this, Natasha couldn't help but shake her head: "This child is really something, Mr. Chen Bai, how come you're with Hook?"

"Actually, it's like this..."

Chen Bai recounted his experience of meeting Hook once again.

“I see. Then I thank you for your help with Hook. That little guy is really troublesome and has caused you a lot of trouble.”

Natasha smiled.

"It's alright, I think Hook is quite lively. But where's my other male companion? Where is he?"

Chen Bai had just glanced around and noticed that Dan Heng didn't seem to be exercising.

"It seems that Teacher Danheng was taken by Sambor to some boxing gym to participate in a match..."

On March 7th, he hurriedly replied.
