The night deepened to midnight.
After finishing some work on his laptop at home, Xu Shuo checked the time—it was getting late. After sending a goodnight message to Xu Xi, he planned to head to bed.
But just then, his phone began to ring.
The caller—
turned out to be Pei Hong.
"Hello?"
Listening to the voice on the other end, Xu Shuo's gaze flickered slightly. After a brief acknowledgment, he hung up.
Quickly changing out of his pajamas, he was about to leave when his phone rang again.
This time, it was Captain Zheng from the Safety Bureau.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"...Heiyu District?"
"I'm afraid I can't head there right now. I need to go to Dongshan District first."
"Why not have Luo Kai handle it instead?"
"...Then have him turn back."
"I must visit that place. Apologies."
Hanging up, Xu Shuo frowned slightly as he stared at the call interface.
Earlier today, before Themis departed, it specifically worked on eliminating hidden Abyss spots across the world.
