If Lilith and Daddy Superman really did meet before they disappeared, then the authenticity of the post has a premise.
"Could it be that someone is using Lilith to lure Superman's dad to the Arctic?"
Upon hearing the woman's words, Adeline couldn't help but voice this thought. Hilton paused for two seconds, then finally said:
"It's not impossible."
At this point, Nader turned his attention to the woman:
"Speaking of which, Superman's dad has been missing for several days, how come you don't seem worried at all? Are you two really a couple?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the woman, who simply smiled.
"Worried? In the early days of our relationship, I was indeed worried that he would get hurt in the battle against the giant beast, but after all these years, I've come to realize... Wei Xiao will be fine."
Chapter 51: Yes, I killed him.
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, and here they are, calling me now."
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 when I looked for you. 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 to kill 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's dad 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 did you say? 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 dad, 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 sitting there like a log, not moving at all."
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?"
"Of course!"
Upon hearing this, Adeline clenched his fists and said stubbornly:
"There's no concrete evidence yet that Superman's dad is dead. Lilith's answer might just be a joke. I'll confront her face to face and I'm sure I'll 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 decisively.
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, and 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’m really 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...
Chapter 52: Conclusive Evidence
After Daddy Superman disappeared, the League of Legends is now run by [Explosive Art], one of the five heroes who created the League of Legends. Even though he is 93 years old this year, his superb combat ability and seniority make his appointment undisputed.
Initially, Nader and Adeline had to go through a lot of complicated procedures to see him, but after Adeline said, "We know a clue about Superman's dad," they were quickly taken to [Explosive Art]'s office...
In the not-so-large office, a thin old man with white hair and beard sat in a chair. Even though he looked like someone who needed help even to go to the toilet, his eyes were not cloudy, but rather gleamed with shrewdness.
"Tell me, how much do you know about Xiaofu's disappearance?"
[Explosion Art] rested his chin on his hands, his tone devoid of emotion. He calmly looked at the group, quietly awaiting the outcome.
Looking at the old man who exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression, Adeline swallowed hard and was about to speak when Nader beat him to it.
Nader said:
"Recently, there have been many news reports online about Dragon Knight killing Superman's dad. Although it seems like a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives, the disappearance of Dragon Knight and Superman's dad still made me realize that something was wrong."
To uncover the truth behind this, I searched high and low, and only recently learned from Dragon Knight that she killed Superman's father..."
"So, the Dragon Knight killed Xiaofu?"
[Explosion Art] ignored Nader's inappropriate and rude remarks, and murmured, receiving an affirmative reply from Nader:
“It’s highly likely. Although we don’t know how she killed Superman’s dad, she arranged to meet Adeline at her house three days later. This is our chance.”
Upon hearing Nader's words, Adeline's face darkened. In her eyes, there was clearly no concrete evidence that Lilith had killed Superman's father, yet Nader was convinced that Lilith had killed Superman's father. Was he trying to take this opportunity to get revenge for the punch he received at her birthday party?
No, we can't let him make things worse. I have to remind the old man.
With this in mind, Adlin followed suit shortly after Nadezhda's speech:
"Things aren't as he says. Lilith did admit that she killed Daddy Superman, but did she really have the ability to kill Daddy Superman?"
I think someone killed Superman's father and then framed Lilith. Lilith confessed because she was actually pleading for our help.
"Are you calling for help...?"
After listening to Lilith and Nader's words, [Explosive Art] pondered for a few seconds. His gaze swept across the faces before him, observing panic, dissatisfaction, or worry. In short, he didn't immediately believe their words, but instead spoke to himself:
"I understand. Don't make this public. Whatever the truth is, I will handle it. Thank you all for your hard work."
After saying that, [Explosion Art] stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest. His attitude was clear: he wanted the others to leave on their own.
The group did not insist on staying and left on their own.
After leaving the office, the three walked side by side in silence until they reached the League of Legends headquarters. Only then did Nader turn to Adeline and speak:
"I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking: This guy is exaggerating the situation to get revenge on Lilith for that punch, right?"
