Chapter 295 Returning to Hometown
“Lin Yuan is not on the boat…”

An adventurer said blankly, today’s scene flashing through his mind.

On the way back, Lin Yuan suddenly said that she wanted to go to the City of Stars. With her and another navigator’s approval, the ship first headed to the City of Stars and then returned to Youyue Port.

However, as soon as the ship docked, it was surrounded by a group of people from the Tribunal.

Although the chief judge who led the team said that he came to greet Lin Yuan, this aggressive posture did not look like a welcoming attitude at all.

“Could it be that Lin Yuan already knew that the Tribunal would come looking for her?”

The adventurer’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he shuddered.

“How did she predict that?”

As they were both deep-sea players, and Lin Yuan had helped a lot in the Sacrifice City, the adventurers’ attitudes at this moment naturally tended towards Lin Yuan.

The adventurer didn’t dare to speak and glanced at Xia Mo with hesitation.

Before she could respond to her companions’ pleading gazes, Xia Mo spoke.

“On the way back, Lin Yuan said that she missed her old life, so we took the boat to send her back to Star City.”

The adventurers following Xia Mo looked at each other.

They originally thought that Xia Mo wanted to conceal Lin Yuan’s whereabouts, but they didn’t expect that Xia Mo would reveal Lin Yuan’s whereabouts as soon as she spoke?
However, Xia Mo’s subsequent words brought them back to their senses instantly.

“Lin Yuan has a good relationship with the people in the Star Guild. She should be visiting friends in East City now.”

——It’s a lie. At this critical moment, Lin Yuan must have gone to find a place to avoid the disaster, and Xia Mo provided false information to help Lin Yuan.

Then, the adventurers echoed and showed their approval:

“Lin Yuan hasn’t been back to Star City for a long time. Now that the opening station is over, it’s normal for him to go back and take a look because he’s homesick.”

“Oh, I kind of regret not getting off the boat with Lin Yuan. She said that the cultural landscape of Zhongxing City is pretty good, and we can go shopping together if we have a chance.”

……

This is indeed the case. This sentence is purely made up by Xia Mo. At this time when crises are everywhere, how could Lin Yuan have the time to visit old friends?
It was just that before Lin Yuan got off the boat, he casually said “going home”, and Xia Mo remembered it carefully.

Xia Mo remembered that Lin Yuan had submitted a document when he participated in a competition.

According to the information, Lin Yuan’s address is in the North City District. If the court really follows what Xia Mo said and goes to the East District to look for Lin Yuan, it will inevitably take some time.

Although she didn’t know why Lin Yuan suddenly returned home, Xia Mo felt that she needed to keep Lin Yuan’s secret at this moment.

…especially when the other party promises to reveal the secret of the Sacrifice City to him.

When the people from the Tribunal leave later, Xia Mo will immediately notify the people from the Star Guild to give the Tribunal a good reception and try to delay time.

Hearing Xia Mo’s cooperative answer, the chief judge showed a gratified look:

“Navigator Xia Mo, you did a great job.”

“The Tribunal has something important to discuss with Lin Yuan. You have made a contribution. We will commend you for your support for the Tribunal’s work.”

Xia Mo said coldly:

“You’re welcome, this is what I should do.”

The presiding judge led the crowd away from the dock.

After watching the group of people in black uniforms walk away, an adventurer curiously poked his head out and asked:
“Sister Xia Mo, are you telling the truth?”

Xia Mo smiled:

“of course it’s true.”

She glanced at the dark cloud-covered sky, and the adventurers immediately fell silent.

——Basically, all players who have lived long enough know that there is a pair of invisible eyes in the main city, always monitoring everything in the main city.

Xia Mo prayed in her heart:
“I hope Lin Yuan won’t be found by the Tribunal.”…

Not far from the port, the chief judge changed his previous pleasant expression and instructed his men:
“Contact the branch of the Star City Tribunal and ask them to conduct a large-scale search in the South City District.”

The judge below showed a puzzled look:

“Sir, didn’t that person just tell us that Lin Yuan is most likely in Dongcheng District?”

“It is totally unnecessary to waste some human resources in the South City area now.”

The presiding judge snorted in dissatisfaction:

“That’s why I can be your superior. You believe whatever others say, but I don’t.”

“Among the navigators, except for Zhang Yunting who really does things, the others are basically old hands.”

“Xia Mo’s performance was flawless, but she’s an old hand and she’s used to speaking half-truths after all.”

The presiding judge put his hand on his chin, looking thoughtful:
“Lin Yuan should have gone to Zhongxing City halfway. After all, she couldn’t enter Lieyang City, and Youyue City was full of Sky Eyes. Only Zhongxing City, with its incomplete facilities and large population, could be the place where she escaped.”

“This guy’s sense of danger is amazing. He first ran to the Animal City, and then ran to the Star City.”

“but……”

The chief judge sneered, with a sinister look on his face:

“Xia Mo deliberately lied about Lin Yuan’s whereabouts, so we must not only look for him in the East District, but also in the other districts.”

“So what if we don’t have the Stardust Instrument? The Sailing World is our territory after all, and Lin Yuan can’t escape even if he tries.”

“Even if we really can’t find her, according to the rules of the world, Lin Yuan must enter the dungeon in a week, and the players we contacted can also snipe Lin Yuan in the dungeon.”

“I just don’t believe that she can outrun the whole world by herself.”

What the presiding judge didn’t expect was that Lin Yuan’s “return to Zhongxing City to take a look” was actually a cover.

Only by deceiving Xia Mo and others first can you definitely deceive everyone else who comes after you.

The emotional words “I’m home” did not refer to her first home in Star City.

The place Lin Yuan went to was not recorded on the nautical map at all.

*
The island of death.

Lin Yuan took a long detour before arriving at the Life-Slaying Island.

The sudden change of itinerary, apart from the inexplicable heart palpitations, was mainly due to this.

The moment Lin Yuan got the Jiang Xun doll, she headed straight for the Killing Alliance. Besides, she was not a person who followed the rules, so it was completely reasonable for her to change the route on a stable route.

[Dear Kill King, the Killing Alliance has become yours. Please go to the Alliance as soon as possible to complete the handover ceremony.]

[You can appoint a new agent, but the agent cannot be a player]

The handover ceremony requires an agent, and Lin Yuan already has a suitable agent.

Lin Yuan walked very fast, passing through the jungle of the Life-Slaying Island and passing through the cold and quiet streets.

Her identity was exposed, so she did not wear a mask when she went to the island this time. Instead, she went to the island openly under the identity of navigator Lin Yuan.

The Life-Slaying Alliance is always active at night. In order to catch up with the excitement at night, Lin Yuan took advantage of the day to finish his work in the Sacrifice City and arrived at the Golden Hall early.

“I have brought the new agent of the Alliance.”

Pushing open the heavy golden door, the smell of decay and damp hit my nose.

The hall was pitch black. The crystal chandelier that had sparkled so brilliantly in my memory had fallen to the ground, with crystal fragments scattered everywhere.

Lin Yuan was shocked.

It had only been a short time since she left the Golden Hall. How come it was in such a dilapidated state?
