I write obituaries for the gods

Lin Chen walked to the crevice. At this moment, Euclid was holding Captain England, preparing to rescue him.

Lin Chen walked directly through the crevice, wanting to see what was on the other side and look for clues.

However, after passing through the crack...

Lin Chen discovered that the surrounding area was just an ordinary, unremarkable wilderness.

There are no landmarks nearby, and it can only be vaguely seen that this place seems to be located in the southern development zone.

Did Euclid rescue someone in the wilderness?

Lin Chen thought the opposite side might be a medical facility of the foundation or something similar.

He watched as Euclid pulled the English captain over, threw him to the ground, and then stood motionless on the wasteland.

You have to leave eventually... Lin Chen stared at Euclid, silently counting in his mind.

He can still glimpse history up to seven seconds in advance, and with the English captain so badly injured, Euclid will definitely have to take him to a medical facility.

Knowing the location of that medical facility will provide further clues...

The next second, Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

He heard Euclid suddenly speak, counting in that deep, metallic voice:

"One...two...three...four..."

"Five...six..."

"seven..."

When he counted to seven, Euclid waved his hand gently, as if saying goodbye.

Time and space shattered, and Lin Chen returned to the pure white city center.

"..."

He stared blankly at the white expanse before him, his heart pounding faster and faster.

Euclid... knew of his existence...

He even knew that Lin Chen could only see for seven seconds.

He rescued Captain England in the wasteland, then silently counted to seven before leaving, all to avoid Lin Chen's observation.

To be precise...

What he wanted to avoid was "the ghost of history".

"..."

Lin Chen opened his eyes, a slight throbbing pain in his temples.

He suddenly gained a concrete understanding of the power of an Alpha-level demigod.

The eldest brother had also warned Qingtian to be wary of "the ghosts of history," suggesting that this reputation had been circulating among them for a long time...

But Lin Chen didn't understand what this title meant.

"Depend on..."

Lin Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, his breathing gradually calming down.

He was no longer the college graduate who panicked at the first sign of trouble. His time at the Investigation Bureau was short, but it allowed him to quickly adapt to his new role.

Putting ourselves in Euclid's shoes, if he was so afraid of the "ghosts of history" that he didn't even dare to reveal his whereabouts...

That means he must have a weakness that the "Mirage City" is targeting.

This weakness means that even if his whereabouts are discovered, he will be plunged into an irreparable crisis.

Lin Chen raised his head, preparing to take a sip of water to calm down.

Just then, a pair of deep blue eyes lit up in the darkness—

Sometime later, Litty sat up in her hospital bed and was calmly watching Lin Chen.

“You have… a white ghost on you…” the girl said softly.

......

Chapter 70 Cute Little Birds

A white ghost?

What kind of film set is this?

Are there still horror movies?

Lin Chen looked at the girl with deep blue eyes, blinked, and said softly:

"Little girl, you're not kidding, are you?"

“I can’t see it anymore, it was there just now,” Litty gently shook her head. “I’m a dog if I lie to you, but I’m a bird, so I won’t lie to you.”

So sincere, doesn't seem like someone's lying to me...

Lin Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

White ghosts... is it the "City of Mirages"?

"Liti, can you describe it?" Lin Chen moved his chair to the window. "What did that white ghost look like?"

"I'm not telling you, it'll be really scary..." Litty shrank back, "It's white... but white is usually a good thing... don't be afraid..."

As Litty spoke, little wings peeked out from her collar.

She turned her head, gently bit off a white feather, and handed it to Lin Chen:

"Here's a lucky charm for you, so don't be afraid." Litty smiled sweetly.

Lin Chen took the white feather, feeling its lingering warmth, and was momentarily stunned.

This little guy...plucked his own feathers and gave them to me as a gift?

Doesn't this hurt?

It's kind of cute...

“Hang it around your neck,” Litty gestured, “to ward off disasters and evil spirits.”

"Okay, I'll hang it up when I get back."

Lin Chen put the feather into his pocket, only then realizing that he hadn't introduced himself.

“My name is Lin Chen. I’m an investigator from Section One. Professor Jürgen went to conduct the experiment, so I’ll keep an eye on you for a while.”

“I know you, you’re He Huihui’s brother,” Liti nodded gently, her long, snow-white hair flowing over her shoulders. “You came to save me when I was sick, but I couldn’t speak…”

So she could hear back then...? Lin Chen looked at the little doll in the hospital gown and said softly:

"You must be feeling very uncomfortable."

"It's okay, Dad will heal me."

After saying that, Litty rubbed her eyes, stretched, and lay back down on the bed.

"I'm sleepy, I can go to sleep now..." the girl chuckled softly, her voice sweet. "That's nice... Goodnight, brother..."

It seems the inhibitor is still working... Lin Chen nodded slightly:

"Good night."

The girl closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, looking completely harmless.

Lin Chen closed his eyes to rest for a while. Around one o'clock, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Professor Jürgen walked in.

"You've worked hard," Professor Jürgen said, his face full of exhaustion. "Go back to sleep, Kobayashi. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"It's a minor issue." Lin Chen rubbed his eyes.

At this moment, Jürgen noticed the half-feather peeking out of Lin Chen's pocket and was somewhat surprised:

"Liti gave you her feathers?"

"Ok?"

Lin Chen took out the feather and nodded, saying:

"Yes, she said it would be a talisman for me."

Looking at the tiny white feather, Jürgen smiled with satisfaction.

"Liti told me that she would only give the feather to someone she really liked."

He touched his chest and pulled out a feather pendant.

However, there are three feathers on it... three times the weight of Lin Chen.

"I really like it..." Lin Chen scratched his head, "I don't think I did anything special..."

“Perhaps Huihui told her about you,” Jürgen said softly. “Thank you for taking care of her, Kobayashi.”

Lin Chen glanced at Liti on the bed again, and suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his temples.

For some reason, the girl in front of him gave him a...strange sense of affinity.

"..."

It was very late. After leaving the ward, Lin Chen did not go home, but went to the department office, lay down on the folding bed, covered himself with a small blanket, and fell asleep.

The next morning, he got up early, washed up quickly, and went out to meet Li Zhanyi at the noodle shop.

"Over here!" Li Zhanyi had already ordered mixed rice noodles and clay pot soup for Lin Chen. "Eat quickly, eat well, then we'll set off!"

Today's mission is to go to the Waldaf Hotel to find Brother Hao.

After breakfast, Lin Chen rode his electric scooter with Li Zhanyi to the Waldorf Hotel in the Iron Corner area.

Forty minutes later, the two stood in Iron Point Square, looking up at the towering hotel.

“The criminal will return to the scene to admire his masterpiece,” Li Zhanyi said inexplicably. “Welcome back... Godslayer…”

Lin Chen glanced helplessly at Li Zhanyi, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Brother Hao, long time no see, are you free?"

"I've come to your side."

Half an hour later, in a small coffee shop in the urban village.

"Phew, finally found a chance to get out and rest."

Hao Ge sat down opposite Lin Chen, glanced at Li Zhanyi, and then nodded with a smile at Lin Chen:

"Hey kid, I heard you're doing well working for the Investigation Bureau, you even have a girlfriend now."

Having a girlfriend? Lin Chen paused for a second before turning to look at Li Zhanyi beside him.

He noticed a faint blush on Li Zhanyi's cheeks, but she still stared straight ahead, her expression calm.

"She's not my girlfriend," Lin Chen quickly said, "she's my partner."

“I get what you mean,” Brother Hao laughed heartily. “Are you alright these past few days? When the investigation bureau came to take Huihui away, I suspected something had happened to you, and it was related to the bridge incident?”

“Yes,” Lin Chen nodded, “The people from the Foundation wanted to get rid of Huihui, so I asked the Investigation Bureau for protection and asked them to help out at the Bureau as well.”

“I see,” Brother Hao nodded. “Very clever. I knew those bastards at the foundation were up to something. They’ve been telling the neighbors to keep an eye on Huihui. When their people came in, we stopped them, and we almost stopped the Investigation Bureau people too…”

"Thank you, Brother Hao," Lin Chen said sincerely, "If something really happened to Huihui..."

"Don't talk nonsense. She's not just your Huihui, she's also the little sun of our Sunshine Pearl No. 148 community," Hao Ge waved his hand. "Unfortunately, I can't set up a stall there now."

"What happened?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Damn it, we got messed up," Brother Hao shrugged. "You know how it is. We're a small business, so we don't have all the necessary food safety certifications. I took the lead in stopping people, and the next day those bastards from the foundation came to cause trouble. They brought that security bureau and gave my shop a piece of their mind, and ordered me to stay away from business for three years."

"I was originally planning to confront them head-on, but when I thought about the bastards' faces at the foundation... damn it, I chickened out in the end."

Hearing that Brother Hao had ended up like this because he helped Huihui, Lin Chen clenched his fists slightly.

The foundation's bastards deserve to die.

"It's alright, I guess it's a blessing in disguise," Hao Ge chuckled. "My neighbor Xiao Zhang works at Waldaff. He said my burgers are amazing and kept telling me to try them out. So I took the opportunity to give it a shot, and I actually got in."

"That's great," Lin Chen said sincerely for Hao Ge. "This job is more respectable."

"So, kid, what brings you here?" Brother Hao asked Lin Chen.
