Chapter 449: Chapter 448: The Female Ghost Comes Knocking

The bedroom was unlit, yet it wasn’t dark; moonlight from outside filtered in, casting a soft glow throughout the room. Of course, even without the moonlight, Lin Tian could see everything clearly.

In the frosty moonlight, a shadow stretched from the window across the floor, long and ghost-like.

If Xiao Manxuan had seen this sight, she would have been terrified out of her wits—a ghostly shadow appearing suddenly in the bedroom at night would frighten anyone half to death.

Lin Tian, however, remained calm, closed the door, and slowly walked to the window. At this moment, a human-shaped shadow appeared on the glass of the window. The silhouette was curvaceous, and from his experience, if the shadow outside was a ghost, it was a shapely female ghost. And a female ghost with such a good figure couldn’t possibly be bad-looking.

"Ahem, beautiful ghost outside the window, as the night is long and we’re all lonely, why not come in and sit? We can discuss life in depth and talk about romance," Lin Tian flirtatiously said.

Throughout history, he was probably the only one who dared to tease a female ghost like this.

"How long are you going to watch me? Aren’t you going to open the window!" the female ghost’s voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Tian was startled by the voice, and after opening the window, he finally saw the "female ghost" outside. However, it was not what he had expected. Of course, he didn’t really believe in ghosts, thinking it was Zhang Lingyu, the little girl.

Because Zhang Lingyu had climbed through his window into his room several times before, she even warned him not to go out when they carpooled back today. Lin Tian had initially suspected that the "female ghost" outside was Zhang Lingyu, but it turned out it wasn’t.

Instead, the person outside the window was Ning Luoxi, the little girl. It was totally unexpected that this dignified instructor would climb into a man’s bedroom in the middle of the night. Lin Tian couldn’t help but think, perhaps this fiery woman was also lonely inside and needed a man’s comfort.

Ning Luoxi seemed quite displeased with Lin Tian’s "teasing," gave him a cold look, and then agilely jumped into the room.

Tonight, Ning Luoxi was dressed in a tight, black outfit that looked neither casual nor military, but strangely enough, it resembled ninja attire.

"You come into a man’s bedroom in the middle of the night. I must watch out. If you have ulterior motives, that would be a big loss," Lin Tian said in an annoying manner.

Ning Luoxi knew that arguing with him would only lead them farther off-topic, so she simply said, "We had already agreed beforehand to collaborate with your bodyguard company on behalf of the police. The Ghosts have already been deployed. It’s just you, the boss, who’s missing."

"That was quick. Has the Sun Shadow Association already crossed over?" Lin Tian couldn’t help but ask when he heard that.

Ning Weiguo had previously mentioned the Sun Shadow Association to him, a mysterious organization from Japan. It amazed Lin Tian that Ning Luoxi’s group could grasp such an operation from such an organization.

"Probably not, just that someone has reported, in the hills near a small village, some bizarre incidents have happened—livestock entering and vanishing mysteriously. Our special police received a task to investigate tonight," Ning Luoxi said with a frown.

Lin Tian was struck by a thought. Zhang Lingyu had told him that it was dangerous to go out tonight; could it be related to these strange occurrences? What exactly were these strange occurrences?

He tentatively asked, "If it’s just some bizarre incident, couldn’t the local police investigate it? Why bother deploying a great talent like you?"

"It’s not as simple as you think. They’ve already investigated and found nothing; the case has been reported to the city. We’re sending people to reconnoiter, but among the scouts that went out, one has already lost contact. According to the reports from the returning scouts, they lost contact when they entered the mountains, and not even a distress signal was sent," Ning Luoxi said in a grave voice.

"It does sound serious. Well then, let’s head out," Lin Tian said straightforwardly.

The police didn’t seem to have much information. If the situation was this mysterious, he couldn’t let Stone and the others venture out alone. After all, no matter how capable they were, they were ordinary people, and it would be extremely dangerous if they encountered an Ancient Martial Artist.

Ning Luoxi nodded, then jumped back out the window, her movements graceful. Lin Tian also leaped out and found a hidden spot to land.

Once they were outside the villa area, a car was parked on the roadside—a common sedan that looked unremarkable. Ning Luoxi immediately opened the driver’s door and got in. Lin Tian had no choice but to join her in the passenger seat.

Just after he fastened his seatbelt, Lin Tian heard the intense screeching of the car tires, a puff of white smoke rose up, and the car shot out like a released spring, pushing him back hard.

Damn, this girl drives too wildly. You’d think it was a race car," Lin Tian exclaimed inwardly, amazed at how she pressed the accelerator, even more fiercely than he drove.

Although it was a regular sedan, she was driving it like a sports car, choosing roads that were deserted.

Soon, they exited the urban area, got on the outer ring road, and eventually even left the outer ring behind, heading out of the city. In the night, the endless barren land stretched out, with no tall buildings in sight.

"Where are we going? It’s so far?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

"I told you it’s by the mountains near a village, of course it’s far. Did you think we were going to a city center for coffee?" Ning Luoxi glanced at Lin Tian and said discontentedly.

Lin Tian shook his head and said no more. After all, he was just an assistant; she was the commander. Wherever she went, he would follow. Who was he to be afraid?

Now the road they were driving on turned to mud, and under the illumination of the headlights, the raised dust became even more visible. However, it didn’t affect Ning Luoxi’s vision at all, and the speed of the car never decreased.

After crossing several barren lands, they stopped the car on a downslope. Ning Luoxi immediately got out.

"Let’s get out," Ning Luoxi said and then stepped out of the car.

Upon getting out, dozens of people suddenly emerged from the surrounding bushes—teams from Ghosts and Thunder Wolf, along with some other special police whom he didn’t recognize—but Ghosts had donned special police gear.

"Brother Tian, you’re here too?" Stone said in surprise.

Apparently, they weren’t aware that Lin Tian, their boss, would be participating in the action, and they were all quite excited.

Ning Luoxi didn’t introduce the unfamiliar special police; instead, she grabbed a tablet computer and opened the map.

"Don’t get too excited," Ning Luoxi said sternly. "There used to be a limestone quarry in the mountains. After the cement factory was shut down, it was abandoned, and very few people get inside. There are two complexes near the quarry, an abandoned factory area and a dormitory area. Our missing person was lost around there. Start searching from there. Lin Tian and I will operate separately towards the dormitory area, and your target is the abandoned factory area. Got it?"
