Having obtained no important information from the woman, the group did not choose to stay. After leaving, they gathered together and began a discussion.

Adeline believes that Lilith and Daddy Superman may have been murdered, and that behind this incident lies an enemy more terrifying than giant beasts or demons.

Nader, however, did not think so. He crossed his arms and firmly believed that Superman's father could not be easily harmed, and that the post on the Internet was just a prank played by Lilith and Superman's father.

The two sides held differing views and neither was willing to give in. Gradually, the discussion escalated into an argument, forcing Hilton to act as a peacemaker.

Just as the two were getting more and more excited during their conversation, Adeline's personal terminal, which she always carried with her, suddenly rang with a melodious ringtone. She immediately stopped arguing with Nader, took out her personal terminal, and froze on the spot.

Seeing her like this, Hilton and Nader also craned their necks to look at their personal terminals, but after seeing the screen on their terminals, they showed the same expression as Adeline.

The screen on the personal terminal displayed Lilith's incoming call screen...

"See? I told you they couldn't be in any trouble. They called, didn't they?"

Nader was the first to recover from his shock. He looked at Adeline, raised his head slightly, and looked very smug.

At this point, Adeline ignored Nader and silently looked at Hilton, only to find that Hilton was also looking at her.

Adlin took a deep breath, placed his finger on the answer button, and turned on speakerphone. The moment the call connected, a familiar voice came from the other end:

"Hey? Adeline, why did you think of calling me? It took me ages to figure out how to call you."

Hearing Lilith's voice, Adeline finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring everything else, she quickly spoke:

"Lilith, I'm so glad you're alright. I called you but you didn't answer, and you weren't home. I really thought something had happened to you..."

"How could anything be wrong with me?"

A soft laugh came from the other end. Lilith explained:

"I'm not home because I'm out having fun somewhere else. Staying in one place all the time is too boring. I need to relax sometimes."

Hearing this, Adeline couldn't help but relax. Since Lilith was alright, and based on the theory that Lilith was controlled and then lured and killed Superman's father, Superman's father was very likely also alright. All his previous worries were unnecessary.

At this moment, Adeline couldn't help but recall what Superman's father's wife had said: "Vishay will be fine."

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it. The disappearance of Superman and Lilith is just something those people are using to grab attention. They'll be fine..."

Adeline murmured, and his voice reached Lilith's side. A moment later, Lilith's voice rang out:

"What are you saying? I didn't hear you."

Adeline felt a little embarrassed that Lilith had overheard her rambling. To change the subject, she casually asked:

"By the way, Lilith, where are you? I haven't heard from you for so many days, I miss you so much."

"Oh? I'm in the Arctic, do you want to come visit?"

"Arctic?"

Upon hearing this, Adeline was about to continue, but she quickly realized that the Arctic was exactly where Lilith had killed Superman's father, as described in the post.

Is it a coincidence? Or... did Lilith really kill Superman's dad?

For a moment, Adeline was at a loss. She didn't know how to continue speaking or how to respond to Lilith's words.

Meanwhile, Nader, annoyed by Adlin's dawdling, snatched the personal terminal and questioned him without hesitation:

"I heard you killed Superman's father, is that true?"

After these words, a long silence fell on the other end of the phone. Adeline's heart raced, her nerves tense, and she silently repeated to herself:

[Quickly deny it! How could Lilith possibly kill Superman's dad? Explain this misunderstanding immediately, don't worry people!]

But the silence persisted, and the longer it lasted, the more panicked Adeline became, because such silence meant that something must be wrong with Lilith.

Adlin began to pray in his heart:

[Answer quickly! Whatever the truth is, at least tell us a lie so we know you have your reasons, or... you're being controlled by some bad guy.]

However, even with Adeline's prayers, reality was crueler than she had imagined.

After a long silence, Lilith finally spoke, but her answer was:

"That's right, I killed him."

Upon hearing this, Adeline's mind went completely blank; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

After all, Lilith and Superman's father were, respectively, a friend she had only recently met and an idol she had long admired. Lilith killing Superman's father left her unsure whether to love or hate him.

After a long while, Adeline finally came to his senses when Hilton called out to him. By then, the call had already ended, and Hilton looked worried.

"Are you alright? You were standing there like a log, not moving an inch."

Adeline shook his head, forcing himself to clear his head:

"I'm fine, it's just..."

In her moment of distraction, Adeline vaguely heard Lilith say something after admitting her crime, and she asked:

"What did Lilith just say?"

Hilton said:

"She said if you want to know the truth, come to her house in three days. Do you really want to go?"

"certainly!"

Upon hearing this, Adeline clenched his fists and said stubbornly:

"There's no concrete evidence yet that Superman's father is dead. Lilith's answer might just be a joke. I'll confront her face-to-face and get the truth!"

"Innocent."

No sooner had Adlin finished speaking than Nader poured cold water on his words without hesitation:

"Let's stop with the self-deception. We should always be prepared for the worst. If she really killed Daddy Superman, then she's the enemy."

These three days are a buffer period she's given herself. We must report this matter to higher authorities so the heroes can set up a tight net. Whether she's truly being controlled or there's another reason, we must resolve this matter once and for all.

After saying that, Nader didn't look at Adeline, nor did he offer any words of comfort. He left without looking back.

Watching Nader's departing figure, Adeline fell silent. She didn't know how to face this situation; she had never experienced anything like it before, so naturally she didn't know how to handle it.

Hilton comforted him:

"Don't overthink it. Let's talk about these things in three days. Right now... try to calm yourself down and don't make the wrong judgment because of this."

“…………”

Upon hearing this, Adeline paused for two seconds, then nodded:

"You're right, I really am in a terrible state. Nader is right too. We can't handle this kind of thing alone; we have to report it immediately."

With that, Adeline pulled Hilton along and headed towards the League of Legends headquarters...
