Chapter 369: Find clues

Their gazes followed the capsule as it dropped to the ground. Seeing that nothing happened, they were about to turn back to Liang Yu when they heard him utter a single word.

“Explode!”

The thrown capsule instantly detonated, and the explosive force slapped their faces, stinging painfully.

Only then did they understand the terror of this thing. At the same time, hearing the commotion from inside the room, the guards outside the door rushed in, but before they could say anything, Mo Yuan dismissed them.

He then looked at Liang Yu with a terrified expression, seemingly understanding his intention.

After all, he was the Lord of a border city. Although he had never heard of such a miraculous item, he had vaguely heard about them; they were a means used by the Imperial Family to control others.

Looking at Liang Yu again, his eyes held a touch more reverence, and he also mocked himself.

Liang Yu didn’t know that Mo Yuan had already concocted a new identity for him. He simply handed over the remaining capsules, and before he could explain, Mo Yuan took one and swallowed it.

The young City Lord beside him was first astonished, then looked at Mo Yuan, noticed the signal in Mo Yuan’s eyes, and likewise took a capsule and swallowed it.

Liang Yu nodded in satisfaction, casually placed the remaining capsules aside, and instructed Mo Yuan.

“Go, General Jin’s aftermath still needs you to handle it.”

“Also, take me to the library. I have some things I need to look up.”

Mo Yuan nodded slightly, his expression calm. After hearing Liang Yu’s instructions, Mo Yuan turned his gaze to his son, Mo Feite, his voice gentle but with an undeniable authority.

“Feite, take the adult to the library tower. Ensure his safety.”

Mo Feite now understood his own status. Ever since he ate that capsule, he was a dog under someone else’s command, so he didn’t put on the airs of a young City Lord. His attitude towards Liang Yu was exceptionally respectful.

Hearing Mo Yuan’s words, he responded to Mo Yuan.

“Yes, Father.”

Liang Yu pointed to the remaining capsules without saying much. His meaning was clear. After seeing Mo Feite leave the room, he followed suit.

Mo Yuan watched their retreating figures. Once the two disappeared around the corner, he carefully picked up the capsules, his expression turning serious. He loudly called for his trusted subordinates and quickly deployed personnel to deal with the affairs of General Jin’s deceased subordinates.

Mo Yuan led a team of elites out of the mansion, his steps firm and powerful.

At this time, dusk was falling, and the lingering glow of the setting sun cast long shadows over them.

Along the way, everyone remained silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Mo Yuan knew that the situation with General Jin’s subordinates was complex; a slight misstep could trigger unrest and affect stability.

Upon reaching their destination, Mo Yuan’s sharp gaze swept around. He calmly conversed with General Jin’s former subordinates, his words containing both comfort and deterrence.

He clearly arranged the subsequent plans, and under his orderly handling, the originally restless crowd gradually calmed down.

After some effort, Mo Yuan finally handled the matter.

Meanwhile, Liang Yu had been searching for information in the library for a long time. He didn’t leave Mo Feite, who naturally followed him.

He hadn’t expected that he, the young City Lord, would one day become someone else’s follower, and that person was a man.

Just then, Liang Yu called him.

“Ate, come here for a moment.”

“Help me gather all the information related to dossier number sixteen.”

Hearing Liang Yu’s address for him, Mo Feite’s mouth twitched. Although somewhat reluctant, he still did as Liang Yu instructed.

Liang Yu watched as Mo Feite had mountains of dossiers brought in, his brows slightly furrowed, yet his eyes held determination.

He gently pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a blue light flashing across the lenses, and then scanned all the archives.

His fingers moved rapidly, the glasses precisely capturing every command.

Dossier information flowed quickly across the lenses like water, and Liang Yu’s gaze remained focused, not missing any detail.

Time passed minute by minute, but Mo Feite found that Liang Yu just stood there, clicking his fingers in the air, but he dared not disturb him.

It was only after he painstakingly searched that he finally found useful information: a set of key information caught his eye—the Imperial Family and outsiders.

Liang Yu’s eyes instantly lit up, and his spirits lifted. The long time spent was worth it.

He quickly extracted this part of the information and read it carefully.

However, the content recorded was not extensive. The general meaning was that the Imperial Family, decades ago, received help from a group of outsiders who brought many strange and wondrous items, sweeping across the entire region, establishing an imperial dynasty, and at the same time designating the Void Forbidden as a forbidden area.

Liang Yu then flipped through other related content before exiting the reading state.

At the same time, he felt his brain wasn’t enough.

Most of the content recorded above was likely true, but many details were certainly not written down, instead being glossed over.

However, Liang Yu confirmed one thing: this group of outsiders in the Underground World must be related to the Spark Plan.

He didn’t know if the official high-level authorities had anticipated such an irresistible natural disaster, but the authorities had begun preparations decades ago, working towards entering the Underground World.

So, as long as he searched here, he would eventually encounter official personnel.

For a moment, he felt a bit lost. What then, after he met them?

What could he do?

Question them about why they didn’t bring in the suffering Survivors from the surface?

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed, and his laughter startled Mo Feite.

Liang Yu was laughing at himself for being foolish. What did this have to do with him? Why should he care? He would deal with it when he met the official people.

Now, he should eat when he’s hungry and drink when he’s thirsty. Thinking of this, he also felt hungry.

Just then, he contacted Liang Yu, who was controlling the one-man army, and only then did he realize she had left him a message.

“Da Zhu Ti Zi, I’m hungry. I called you several times, but you didn’t answer me. I’m not waiting for you; I’m going to eat dinner first.”

Liang Yu read it and laughed again. Unlike before, this time Liang Yu laughed very happily.

But, just like last time, he startled student Ate again. He now looked at Liang Yu and, in his heart, thought Liang Yu might be somewhat abnormal.

After greeting Mo Feite, Liang Yu went out to find an unoccupied corner and directly returned to the RV.

Just as he changed out of his armor and was about to take a bath, his radio reacted.

He didn’t know that after nightfall, Qu Baoguo had been trying to contact him, but at that time, he was in the Underground World, and the radio signal couldn’t reach him at all.

But Qu Baoguo didn’t give up, contacting him every two or three minutes. Finally, when Liang Yu returned to the surface, to the RV’s location, he managed to reach him.
