"I'll contact them right away!"
Although they were enemies, Diona didn't have the slightest ability to deal with her three brothers.
Shanhai wasn't an impulsive person. Even if he fancied Diona, he wouldn't rashly deal with his three brothers just because Diona said a few words.
Talking to Diona offered a much higher chance of getting useful information than dealing with Shanhai!
The relationship hadn't completely broken down yet, and Diona likely wouldn't know about the anonymous message she received.
This was a brilliant idea! Derwent immediately tried to contact Diona's communication channel!
Seconds later, Derwent fell silent…
"What's wrong?" Joseph guessed from his expression.
"Same as Shanhai, I can't get through. And all communication is blocked…"
Damn it!
Joseph frowned and tried it himself, his suspicion piqued.
A few seconds later, the result was the same as Derwent's…
"I'll try to use my authority to locate her!"
Joseph was unwilling and opened his terminal again.
Although she had transferred to the Fifth Faction, Diona's status as an unofficial team member had not been removed.
Joseph could use his authority to find her approximate location.
However, Joseph was soon stunned.
The terminal displayed a few large characters: Diona's information cannot be located.
"What the hell? Cannot be located?!" Joseph's voice rose.
"Are you kidding me? Even a faction leader can't be located?!"
Wait!
Joseph looked closely at the prompt.
It was "cannot be located," not "lack of authority to locate"!
There was a huge difference between these two!
This meant it wasn't that Joseph lacked the authority to locate Diona, but that there was a problem on Diona's end.
Normally, there were only two possibilities in such a situation.
One was that Diona was undertaking a core mission, and the other was that she had used special means to block the terminal's location information.
But whichever possibility it was, it was not good news for Joseph.
"I feel like this is more troublesome than I imagined…"
Joseph rubbed his temples with a headache.
With both key figures unreachable, Joseph felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, unsure where to start.
"Then we can only wait for now…" Derwent also sighed, feeling a headache.
The enemy was hidden, and the situation was difficult to handle.
However, Joseph wasn't willing to just wait.
"We can't just wait for Shanhai."
"Here's what I'll do: I'll secretly investigate the situation with the Seventh Faction myself!"
"Derwent, you tell everyone else to lie low for the next few days and not cause any trouble!"
"If anyone provokes them, contact me first before making any decisions."
"And, Aiven!" Joseph looked at his useless brother.
"Yes, I'm here!"
"For the next few days, you are to stay at home and not go anywhere!"
"Remember, Diona isn't important, and it doesn't matter whether she's killed or not. Our real enemy is the person who sent the message!"
"So, don't let me know you've snuck off to Shanhai's faction! Understand?!"
Aiven snorted and reluctantly replied, "I understand!"
Joseph withdrew his gaze and gave further instructions to Derwent.
"You keep an eye on Aiven for the next couple of days as well. The enemy in the shadows definitely has a scheme."
"We absolutely cannot afford to cause trouble until we figure this out!"
After a few instructions, Joseph left in a hurry.
Clearly, he was eager to investigate the person who sent the message and the Seventh Faction…
…
In the Marvel universe, Lin Feng didn't take An to Blue Star. Instead, he first went to the Realm of Death.
Shanhai had been staying here for some time.
Lin Feng wanted to discuss some of his plans with Shanhai.
Lin Feng didn't like mind-to-mind communication; he preferred face-to-face exchanges.
"Is this that mechanical lifeform race?" After meeting, Shanhai curiously peeked at An.
After completing the task of sending the message, Lin Feng hadn't recalled An. Instead, he let her maintain her human form.
"That's right. It's a race Jin Henry found in the universe. I want to see if Martina can have an effect on her, maybe surprise me with something."
Mentioning Jin Henry, Shanhai couldn't help but smack his lips, inwardly thinking how awesome the main body was.
However…
"Putting Jin Henry aside for now, is it really okay for you to bring her here?" Shanhai pointed at the expressionless An.
"You know what I mean!"
Bringing An back to the Marvel universe and introducing her to him, was the main body planning to self-destruct? Wasn't he afraid the mechanical lifeform race would betray him and expose Lin Feng's affairs?
Lin Feng chuckled.
"I've certainly considered the problem you mentioned."
"But they have no reason to betray me."
"The contract between them and me is engraved on the core clock of Light. If they have any thoughts of betrayal, the mechanical lifeform race will be annihilated!"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and made a gesture.
"I think you understand what I mean, right?"
Shanhai smacked his lips and gave a thumbs-up.
The shape Lin Feng gestured was the outer form of the Heart of the Universe. Shanhai naturally knew what he was talking about!
Clearly, Lin Feng had done something to the Heart of the Universe.
He supposed he was overthinking it. Although the main body always acted boldly, he was always cautious deep down.
He considered every matter over and over again!
After explaining, Lin Feng brought the conversation back to the Black Robe organization.
He quickly and concisely explained his plan, including the Seventh Faction's inexplicable hostility towards Shanhai's identity.
"I need to continue using Shanhai's identity for a while longer."
"Think back, are there any gaps in your memory?"
"Did the identity of Shanhai have any conflicts with the Seventh Faction before?" Lin Feng stated the purpose of his visit.
Orphilia had also been sent to investigate the Seventh Faction, but Lin Feng never placed his hopes on just one person.
Shanhai nodded and immediately began to sift through his memories.
He had undertaken many missions, and recalling every detail was like watching a movie, extracting frame by frame, then finding any unreasonable or missing details…
Closing his eyes, Shanhai began to recall.
This process wouldn't be very long, but it wouldn't be very short either; it would take about half an hour.
Although Lin Feng had synchronized Shanhai's memories many times, for the sake of caution, he still wanted Shanhai to perform this recollection.
Of course, Lin Feng wouldn't just wait idly.
His gaze fell upon An beside him.
An was currently sitting cross-legged on the ground, still with her poker face, showing no emotion.
Seeing Lin Feng looking over, she lowered her little head.
"Leader."
"Stop calling me 'Leader,' just call me Leader."
'Leader' was something Lin Feng had heard many times in the past two days, but it always felt a bit strange and awkward.
"Yes, Leader!"
An obediently followed Lin Feng's command.
Good. Lin Feng was satisfied.
After a moment's thought, Lin Feng took out an Infinity Stone.
It was a Space Stone.
In the dim Realm of Death, it shimmered with a faint light, like a firefly.
"An, try to see if you can use the energy of the Infinity Stone to replace your own homologous energy."
