This time, it was much easier than the initial circumnavigation of the seventeen swallowed city-states.

Lin Gui no longer needs to deliberately search for ghosts and can open a post office.

Upon arriving at each location, he would drop the corresponding wooden crate from the city-state.

Then it turned around and flew straight to the next stop.

Upon arriving at Shadowmoon City, Lin Gui deliberately stopped.

He issued a warning to the wooden box containing the spirits.

"Shadow Blade Lin is inside, still in her spirit form."

"Based on Clotina's description, she may be a threat to you."

There was a moment of silence inside the wooden box.

Then, the voices of several elves rang out one after another.

"I've long since become indifferent to life and death."

"We just want to see our hometown again."

Another voice added softly:

"I've already died once."

"If only I could see my hometown again, see traces of my family..."

"Dying again isn't anything to be afraid of."

Lin Gui remained silent for a few seconds, then stopped trying to persuade him.

He placed the wooden crate steadily on the edge of the ruins.

He then slammed his hand on the control lever of the wind pressure cannon.

The airship suddenly accelerated, shooting into the sky like an arrow released from a bow.

Lin Gui didn't want to run into that terrifying elven assassin again.

Even if it's just in a spirit state.

Lin Gui has been driving steadily at top speed all the way.

At first, Lin Gui considered the feelings of the "passengers" inside the wooden box.

I deliberately kept the speed slow.

But not long after, those souls that had been idle for sixteen years...

He started excitedly urging it on in his mind.

"Faster! Too slow!"

"Get this exciting! Dude, I see the cannons on the back of your airship haven't finished firing yet!"

"Yes! Speed ​​up! Charge!"

"This is so much fun! It's like riding on a giant eagle!"

Lin Gui's lips twitched slightly.

This familiar feeling...

It reminded him of the day he was test-flying in Shield City, when the dwarves roared and urged him on.

Then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The customer is God.

Can God refuse His request?

Of course not.

Lin Gui no longer cared about Eve's pale face behind him.

He ignored Hannah's sudden, heightened gasp.

He pushed the wind pressure cannon to its maximum.

The airship transformed into a blurry gray shadow, tearing through the mist.

I completed the rest of the journey as quickly as possible.

Finally, it slowly landed outside Mirror City.

As soon as the airship came to a stop, Hannah stumbled and fell to the ground.

He leaned against a section of broken wall and began to dry heave violently.

Eve was still sitting in the second row.

His hands gripped the handrails tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Her short, light golden hair was a little messy, and her purple eyes stared blankly ahead.

It was as if their souls hadn't yet recovered from the raging storm.

Hannah leaned against the wall and rested for a while before straightening up.

She turned to look at Lin Gui, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The speed of that airship... was truly terrifying.

It took her and Roger a whole week to get here after they traveled north.

The flying boat of the demon Kelin took less than a day.

This was the result of going around in circles at the Wailing Wall.

That's... monstrous speed.

Her throat tightened, and she couldn't help but gag a few times.

Lin Gui waited until she recovered before speaking:

"Do you need me to take you inside the Mirror Cinema?"

The airship was now parked outside the city wall.

From the aerial view just now, Mirror City appears to be extremely large.

While not as extravagant as Blackwater, it was no less impressive than the capital of Carter.

Hannah shook her head, her voice still a little hoarse:

"No need, this is fine."

She looked at the towering city walls before her, her gaze gradually becoming wary.

Then, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and quickly wrote a few lines.

Fold it neatly and hand it to Lin Gui.

Lin Gui looked down.

It was a handwritten letter from a finance department.

In her letter, Hannah stated that she would give away all of her and Roger's supplies in Avalon...

All of them were given to Lin Gui and "White-haired Elf Shia".

To prove its authenticity, she took something out of her bosom.

It was a small pillar, exquisitely designed, with a faint glow.

It's obvious at a glance that this is no ordinary product.

She handed the pillar to Lin Gui:

"Give this to the governing officials of Avalon."

"This is the certificate; with it, you can receive the assets I gifted you."

Lin Gui took the pillar and looked up:

"Didn't you say it was only Roger's personal savings?"

"What are these extra...?"

Hannah smiled, a smile tinged with melancholy in the sunlight.

"Consider it... compensation for my lover betraying you."

She waved her hand and turned to walk towards the city wall.

"Alright, it's time to say goodbye."

As soon as she finished speaking, she nimbly leaped into the air.

Using both hands and feet, they climbed the high wall like a cat.

With a few leaps, it disappeared over the wall.

Lin Gui and Eve watched her leave.

Eve leaned closer, glanced at the letter, and whispered:

"This... looks like a suicide note."

Lin Gui nodded.

"Yes, she...was planning to commit suicide."

He paused, his voice low:

"It seems that Killian and Rogge have failed and may have perished in the Silent Rift."

A look of worry appeared in Eve's eyes:

"Wouldn't that affect Avalon's safety? If the Demon King Gusin dies, what will happen to the veil that supports Avalon's existence in the Terrible Corridor...?"

Lin Gui remained silent for a moment.

As someone who eavesdrops on Morpheus's meetings every day in Avalon...

He was naturally aware of the many contingency plans left behind by Guxin.

If those backup plans really work, even if Guxin and all the powerful figures from the north are wiped out...

Avalon will not collapse; in fact, its defenses will be reinforced, making it even safer.

However... top-tier combat power will be severely damaged.

He didn't answer, and turned to walk towards the back of the airship.

Untie the steel chains binding the wooden crate of Mirror City and open the crate lid.

Glass beads floated out, spinning excitedly.

"I'm home! I'm finally home!"

"Thank you, messenger! You're truly our savior!"

The spirits excitedly surrounded the forest ghost, their souls gleaming with joy.

As they eagerly prepared to disperse and search for their relatives...

Lin Gui called out to them.

"etc."

All the beads stopped abruptly and turned towards him.

Lin Gui looked at these spirits, his voice calm:

"Could you do me a small favor too?"

The glass beads immediately surged forward, their souls shimmering.

"Of course! What do you say, buddy?"

"We'll help with anything we can!"

"Yes! Even if we can't do it, we'll find a way!"

Lin Gui raised his eyes and looked at the towering city walls of Mirror City.

"Help me ask your family in the city."

"Everything that happened in Mirror City within four months concerning 'living people'."

"And also, Miss Hannah from earlier."

He paused, then added:

"If possible, please help me track down her whereabouts."

"When I come back, take me to find her."

The glass beads agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry! We've got your back!"

"We'll go ask right away! We'll definitely find out the truth!"

"Our benefactor, wait for us, we'll be back soon!"

They excitedly circled the forest ghost a few times before scattering and flying away.

From cracks in the city walls, drainage outlets, and broken window openings...

They slipped silently into Mirror City and disappeared.

Eve walked up to Lin Gui and asked softly:

"Are you planning to get involved?"

Lin Gui looked down at the small pillar in his hand.

Within the vision of the Eye of the Netherworld, it was emitting...

An exceptionally strong, almost solidified, force of the soul.

The eerie light flowed slowly within the pillar, as if it were breathing with life.

He gripped the pillar tightly and looked up at the city wall.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice:

"If we have the ability to intervene."
