Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Thank you Mr. Lanpao for your help. Sorry for bothering you. I'll come back another day to say thank you and say goodbye!"

Lin Yi didn't say much, and left neatly, taking the student back to the academy.

"Dean Sima, is it really because Vice-President Ma didn't go back to the academy because of his tryst with that woman?"

After leaving the Central Chamber of Commerce, the student was a little unsure.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "We found out that Vice-President Ma was missing. We searched around the area immediately, and no one saw any trace of Vice-President Ma and the woman."

"It's hard to say now. Maybe they hid their whereabouts after leaving the Central Chamber of Commerce, so you two didn't find out!"

"However, we can't tell yet whether Vice President Ma disappeared like those previous disappearance cases, or whether he left with others normally!"

Those people before left no clues, but Vice President Ma left some traces.

But this trace is actually a special case. Without the relationship between Lin Yi and the center, most of these traces would not be able to be found.

Therefore, even if someone comes to the Central Chamber of Commerce to investigate before, even if the Center knows that this person has come to the Chamber of Commerce before, it will not tell them.

Lin Yi raised his eyes and looked at the sky. After working for so long, it was almost getting dark again: "Go back to the college first and arrange more people to form a team to look for Vice President Ma. Maybe he is really somewhere... or maybe he himself Just came back.”

Ma Shenkai left the Central Chamber of Commerce with the woman and then disappeared. Let's just say he disappeared.

In short, this situation is a bit ambiguous, and it is not easy to make it known to the whole city in a big way. When Ma Shenkai himself shows up, everyone will look bad.

The student didn't have any ideas. Naturally, Lin Yi did whatever he said and immediately followed him back to the academy.

Under Lin Yi's arrangement, hundreds of students from the Alchemy Branch dispersed into the imperial capital in groups of three, keeping each other ready for support, and quietly searched for Ma Shenkai's whereabouts.

Lin Yi himself followed secretly, and his divine consciousness shrouded these hundreds of students to ensure that they would not be in any danger.

Otherwise, if Ma Shenkai is not found and several students are missing, without anyone else impeaching him, Lin Yi, the dean himself, will feel that he cannot continue his job.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained after the night passed.

At dawn, hundreds of students returned to the alchemy branch tiredly.

Apart from knowing that Ma Shenkai left the Central Chamber of Commerce, there are still no useful clues, which is completely consistent with the previous disappearance.

"Dean Sima, did you discover anything last night?"

When Yan Su learned that Lin Yi was back, he came over immediately with a solemn expression.

"Dean Yan, we didn't find anything last night, and we didn't find anything unusual!"

Lin Yi shook his head, feeling something was wrong.

Sure enough, Yan Su sighed and continued: "Last night, more than ten disappearances occurred in the Imperial Capital, including two students from our Tianxia Academy. The area where the disappearances occurred is completely different from the area you are searching for. I wonder if it is the other party. Do you know whether your actions are just a coincidence..."

Lin Yi was shocked and quickly asked for detailed information.

If the other party knew about it in advance, it would be too scary, which means that every move of yours is under the watch of the other party!

Fortunately, after reading the intelligence, I found that the area where the disappearance occurred was very different from the area where Lin Yi searched for Ma Shenkai. It could be said that they were completely opposite.

If the imperial capital is divided into ten areas, the area where the students searched and the area where the disappearance occurred are almost the farthest ends.

There are seven or eight areas separated in the middle, so staggering them is normal.

Of course, from another perspective, it may be that the person who caused the disappearance deliberately avoided Lin Yi. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional is unknown for the time being.

"Dean Yan, why are there still students wandering alone in the college? Wasn't there an order yesterday prohibiting going out alone?"

Lin Yi frowned.

Yan Su was also a little helpless, waving his hands casually and saying: "The order has been given, but there are always people who take chances. Plus there are special reasons for going out, and the academy cannot forcefully stop everyone's actions."

"Dean Yan, have you ever noticed the pattern of disappearances? There is always a peak period, followed by an incubation period. The disappearances that started the day before yesterday should be the prelude to a new peak period, and we must pay attention to it."

Lin Yi changed the topic and Yan Su looked worried.

"The pattern that Dean Sima mentioned has been proposed before, but there is nothing we can do about it. We know that a new round of disappearances is about to start, but we have no way to deal with it. Do we want everyone to hide at home? Not going out?"

When Yan Su said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Even if everyone is hiding at home, there is no guarantee that no one will disappear. When the whole family disappears, no one may know about it for many days."

Lin Yi nodded slightly. There was only one Tianxia Academy in the entire imperial capital, and other places did not have the defense capabilities of Tianxia Academy.

"Dean Yan, let's go to the Martial League together and discuss it with the lobby master. This kind of thing is not something that our Tianxia Academy can handle alone. We must gather all our strength to deal with it!"

Lin Yi suspected that the disappearance was related to the Dark Warcraft clan. If he teamed up with the Martial Alliance, he might be able to find clues about the Dark Warcraft clan in the Martial Alliance.

In other words, there are so many disappearances and the reason why there are no clues may be that the forces of the Dark Warcraft Clan in the Martial Alliance are covering it up!

"Let's go, this matter really needs to be discussed with the lobby master!"

Yan Su nodded in agreement, but the look on his face seemed a little disapproving, as if he didn't have much hope for the hall master and the martial alliance.

In any case, the two of them rushed to Wumeng as quickly as possible and met the hall master.

Speaking of the disappearance, the hall master also looked worried: "Dean Yan, Dean Sima, there is nothing I can do about this matter. All I can do has been done. All the generals of the combat association have been scattered by me to increase the number." Patrol and gather information. Do you have a better way?"

"I and Dean Sima came here just to discuss with the lobby master whether we can come up with more effective means to deal with the disappearance!"

Yan Su said solemnly: "Too many tragedies have happened before, and we have never found a solution! If the disappearances are allowed to continue like this, it will cause widespread panic! I suggest that the Wumeng League and the academy join forces to use stronger methods. How about dealing with this crisis?”

However, the hall master had a sad expression on his face and shrugged lightly: "I am at my wits' end. If Dean Yan has any ideas, feel free to mention them. As long as they are effective, it doesn't hurt to be tougher."
