The location where Lu Qiming disappeared was quite a distance from the Rockets' base.

However, thanks to the speed of the little black man's all-out sprint.

Half an hour later.

Chen Qi successfully arrived at the place where Lu Qiming disappeared.

"According to the location shown in the three-dimensional map on the lighthouse badge, this is the last place Lao Lu was seen."

Chen Qi first looked around to check the situation in mid-air.

Lu Qiming also possesses a Charizard, and his last known location was likely in the airspace above this area.

After looking around and confirming that he found nothing amiss, Chen Qi gave instructions to Xiao Lao Hei.

"Charizard, let's go down first!"

Little Blackie nodded, then swooped down and landed on the ground.

Looking around this area, it's just another pile of ruins, seemingly no different from any other.

"Nini~"

Monini keenly noticed a slight disturbance.

His spiritual energy fluctuated rapidly, then quickly locked onto two figures behind a pile of rubble, forcefully controlling them and dragging them, along with the two unruly frogs, in front of Chen Qi.

Under the powerful suppression of superpowers, the two delinquent frogs, who were only at level 20, were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.

The two people were completely stunned by this amazing telekinetic control.

He quickly begged for mercy.

"Lord Ebony! We just happened to be passing by!"

"Please, have mercy on us."

"We're just marginalized nobodys in the organization, we really didn't mean to do anything to you!"

As luck would have it, these two were members of Team Galactic, and their Team Galactic uniforms were just too dazzling.

However, the moment they saw Chen Qi, they were terrified. The new member of Team Rocket, Ebony Banner, was a figure of great prestige. Even if they had never seen him in person, they had definitely heard of him.

Within Team Galactic, it's likely that everyone knows the name of Ebony Banner.

The mere mention of Ebony Banner is enough to make a child cry.

Moreover, he hadn't even released his main force; he had only sent out a creature resembling a cute pet, Monini, and easily controlled them.

How could we possibly inspire even the slightest thought of resistance in them?

If they want to confront Team Rocket's executive, Ebony Hatake, then it's probably only possible for Team Galactic's executives, such as Seisei, to step in.

When gods fight, they are just minor figures in some obscure corner; how could they possibly be qualified to participate?

"rest assured!"

"As long as you answer whatever I ask, you'll be fine."

"But if you're just trying to brush me off and deliberately try to fob me off, then I'm sorry, I'll just have to make do with the Charizard you gave me."

Chen Qi deliberately lowered his voice and spoke to the two of them in an extremely gloomy tone.

Charizard: ? ? ?

It doesn't want to eat weird things!

Charizard turned its gaze precisely to the two members of Team Galactic, its 'covetous' scrutinizing look nearly making them cry out in fright.

He shook his head repeatedly, looking flustered and terrified as he replied.

"No no no!"

"We will absolutely not be perfunctory, and we would never dare to deliberately fob you off!"

"We guarantee to answer all your questions to the best of our ability, and we'll say whatever comes to mind!"

"Anything you want to know, even what color and style of underwear Lord Zhenxing wore today, we will tell you the truth."

Chen Qi: ...

Who wants to know?

He didn't want to at all!

Chen Qi suddenly had an urge to have Monini slap them away.

However, in order to find out Lu Qiming's last whereabouts, he held back.

"I ask, you answer!"

"No need for any other irrelevant or unnecessary nonsense, understand?"

"Understand!"

"Understand!"

The two of them instantly transformed from rapidly swinging rattles into chicks pecking at rice, nodding their heads quickly.

"Have you seen my assistant riding a Charizard nearby?"

"Have!"

"Have!"

The two answered quickly.

As Chen Qi's gaze locked onto the object, one of them added, "Just an hour ago, we were patrolling nearby when we saw an adult riding a fire-breathing dragon in the distance."

"That is, your capable assistant, Lord Xingzhou!"

"Although we have never met Lord Xingzhou in person before, we are already very familiar with your deeds and those of Lord Xingzhou recently."

"We within our organization are already well aware of Lord Xingzhou's distinctive characteristics and symbolism."

"Our people would never dare to lay a hand on Lord Xingzhou again."

"No one has the guts to risk being confronted by you and arrest Lord Xingzhou."

"Moreover, this area is already considered to be on the edge of the organization's operational range, and the organization's elites rarely come to this area."

"Given our strength alone, there's even less chance we could do anything to Lord Xingzhou."

"We're afraid that if Lord Xingzhou finds out, he'll come looking for us and retaliate."

"So, when I saw the Charizard appear in the sky, I hid immediately."

"From afar, we can see that Lord Xingzhou has found a tunnel in these ruins."

"He went into that tunnel."

"typical?"

"Where are the tunnels?!"

Chen Qi frowned. He had looked around this area for a long time, and at least within the visible range, there was no obvious trace of any tunnel.

"Lord Ebony!"

"We're telling the truth!"

"It really is an authentic tunnel!"

“We really saw Lord Xingzhou enter a tunnel.”

"But...but when we tried to get closer and take a look, we couldn't find any trace of the tunnel."

"It felt like we were hallucinating."

"No one from the Boatman's crew has appeared, and there's no tunnel..."

Listening to the Galaxy team's account, Chen Qi's brows furrowed even more.

The two of them didn't seem to be lying.

And they have no reason to lie.

But if they weren't lying, then what about the vanished Lu Qiming and the tunnel?

Is it a distortion of spacetime, occurring once again?

Lu Qiming was once again drawn into another trial space that interacted and intersected with this space.

"However, just as we were preparing to leave..."

"The entrance to that tunnel reappeared, and Lord Xingzhou's figure appeared once again in an instant."

"Just when we were trying to confirm whether it was a hallucination."

"Lord Xingzhou and the entrance to that tunnel disappeared at the same time."

"It seems that what we are seeing is really just an illusion."

If Chen Qi was initially skeptical of what the two said, he became more convinced when they recounted the scene of Lu Qiming reappearing and then disappearing again.

Chen Qi was finally certain that what they said was true.

This scene was exactly the same as what he saw when he used the lighthouse emblem.

Lu Qiming's light spot disappeared, then reappeared, and then disappeared again.

"Besides that, what else did you discover?"

Upon hearing this, the two members of Team Galaxy exchanged glances, their anxious and flustered eyes seemingly urging each other, and at the same time, pushing themselves to think quickly and rigidly.

One of them suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered something, and excitedly exclaimed, "Clothes!"

"Yes, that's right! It's the clothes!"

As he exclaimed, another person also received some information and then excitedly said in unison.

"Lord Xingzhou's clothes are different now."

"At the beginning, Lord Xingzhou was dressed in a stylish punk outfit and wearing a pair of black sunglasses."

"However, when he reappeared, he had changed into a white suit, and his sunglasses had been replaced with gold-rimmed glasses."

Hear the words.

Chen Qi couldn't help but have a strange expression, and fell into deep thought again.

Old Lu actually has the mood to go through all this cross-dressing?!

Moreover, the time between his disappearance and his reappearance was only a very short moment. How could he have had such a short time to change his clothes and walk out of the tunnel?

A white suit paired with gold-rimmed glasses.

Chen Qi tentatively sketched out what Lu Qiming would look like in this outfit in his mind, and couldn't help but be amazed by his flamboyant style.

Since this guy still has the mood to dress up, then his situation shouldn't be too bad.

Where is the tunnel you see located?

Chen Qi asked again.

Based on the limited information available at the moment, Chen Qi has basically concluded that Lu Qiming has definitely fallen into a spacetime distortion and has most likely been accidentally drawn into another trial space.

Moreover, there is definitely a certain discrepancy between the two times.

Otherwise, Lu Qiming certainly wouldn't have been able to complete the disguise so quickly in such a short time.

A white suit paired with gold-rimmed glasses is not something you can find just anywhere; it must have taken some time and effort.

"Right here!"

"From where you are right now."

Without hesitation, the two answered quickly and in perfect unison.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; it was such a perfect coincidence.

"Monini, have you discovered anything?"

Chen Qi looked at Monini, but Monini shook her head.

It remained vigilant at all times, constantly observing changes in its surroundings, but it did not detect any residual energy or any alterations.

Just as Chen Qi was pondering how to continue searching for clues...
