Hyacine and Firefly walked on, and the further Hyacine walked, the more she felt something was wrong. The direction they were currently heading to leave was near the exit of the Alchemy Commission.

"Miss Firefly, where do you wish to go?" Hyacine asked Firefly.

"What are you doing over there?" Hyacine took a step back, adopting a wary stance.

This Firefly in front of her was definitely off.

Though Hyacine's vigilance was strong, her reaction wasn't quick enough. She herself wasn't a combatant, and even with the Sky Titan's Authority, she was merely a ranged damage dealer. Firefly, empowered by a Heliobi, was physically in a state where Firefly in this stage had quite extraordinary close-quarters combat abilities.

"Firefly" looked at Hyacine's reaction, a mocking smile appearing on her lips.

"You are not Firefly!" Hyacine shouted loudly at "Firefly".

"Yes, you are right. But unfortunately, it's too late." "Firefly" said softly, then quickly moved behind her, preparing to strike the back of Hyacine's head.

When "Firefly" reached out, Hyacine tried to brace herself, but it was too late. "Firefly"'s hand struck the back of her head precisely. Hyacine felt a dizzying sensation, her vision went black, and she fell into a coma.

Actually, she wanted to strike Hyacine dead instantly. But as she did so, the consciousness of Firefly within her body stopped her, slowing her force, allowing her to only stun Hyacine instead of inflicting greater harm.

Fortunately, "Firefly" didn't aim to kill, otherwise she would have witnessed the immortality from Derick's genes stored within Hyacine's body.

"Forget it, getting out of Lofu Xianzhou is the right move now."

"Firefly" thought to herself.

This area of the Alchemy Commission was relatively secluded; it might take some time for others to discover her. "Firefly" could use this opportunity to leave Lofu Xianzhou.

She had brought Hyacine along for this very reason. In the eyes of others in the Alchemy Commission, she was a patient. A patient wandering alone would easily arouse suspicion, but bringing Hyacine along would reduce many doubts.

Now that she was leaving the Alchemy Commission, she no longer needed this disguise. And after leaving, she would be even less worried about being discovered.

Lofu Xianzhou had a population exceeding a billion, and even the number of Outsiders numbered in the tens of thousands. With such a vast population, finding her would be an extremely difficult task.

Leaving the unconscious Hyacine aside, "Firefly" quickly ran out of the Alchemy Commission.

Lofu Xianzhou, Suiyuan.

Derick and his companions met Xueyi and Hanya.

After the meeting, Xueyi expressed gratitude to Derick.

"Mr. Derick, I also want to thank you for rescuing me last time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Huohuo and I would both have died in Shackling Prison."

Although Xueyi was an automaton and not easily killed under normal circumstances, facing the powerful and deceitful Hoolay at that time, Xueyi really would have died in Shackling Prison without Derick's later assistance. As for Huohuo, her chances of successful escape were even lower.

"Most of that was thanks to my teacher, Feixiao. I merely did some trivial things on the side, so for you to thank me, Miss Xueyi, I'm truly a bit embarrassed."

"Although the matters of Shackling Prison were led by the Sky-Shattering General, without you, the Shackling Prison situation would have been difficult to handle," Xueyi continued to thank Derick.

Derick exchanged a few more polite words with Xueyi, then quickly said to her: "Miss Xueyi, please tell me about the situation with these Suiyangs."

"Because of the previous battle with Phantylia, the Forge of Creation in the Artisanship Commission was damaged, and the Suiyangs that were suppressed inside escaped. Now those Suiyangs have spread throughout the Xianzhou, which is why there are so many ghost rumors in the Xianzhou news now."

"The General had you all come to assist specifically to find these escaped Suiyangs."

Castorice asked Xueyi: "What are the characteristics of Suiyangs?"

"Suanyang characteristics..." Xueyi looked at Tail who seemed frightened, and softly said: "Tail, come out."

"Got it, got it, I'll show them now." Tail said somewhat helplessly.

It dared to scold Tail, but had no such courage when facing Xueyi and Hanya.

With a flick of her hand, a map of Lofu Xianzhou appeared on her phone, with light points showing on the map.

"I don't know when Firefly had a surveillance device placed on her. Come, now let's see where she's heading... Cloudford Docking Point, she's trying to sneak away! Let's go, Derick, we need to catch up quickly. Otherwise, she's going to leave Lofu Xianzhou."

To some extent, Tail was also a bully to the weak and fearful of the strong.

Seeing that "Firefly" intended to leave Lofu Xianzhou, Derick and his companions no longer delayed. Hanya and Xueyi hadn't gone far, and heard the news, so they immediately returned.

"See? That's what Suiyangs are like. When those Suiyangs enter people's bodies, they make those people become different from normal."

It grumbled to Castorice. But seeing Derick's gaze on it, Tail fearfully hurried.

Derick's strength was present, so Tail truly didn't dare to cause trouble with him.

"So next, we have to find this kind of creature?" Cipher asked curiously, looking at the Heliobi.

Xueyi nodded: "Yes, next we may need to search the entire Lofu Xianzhou for the presence of these Suiyangs."

"Are we supposed to search all over the Xianzhou network?" Cipher heard this and couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

If they searched like that, when would they ever find them?

Guinaifen had an idea. She picked up her phone and said: "Perhaps we can use live streaming to find those escaped Suiyangs. My account has enough popularity; we can post about this on my account, which can attract submissions from others. This way, we can look into the Heliobi situations."

"This is indeed a good idea, but the matter of the Suiyangs cannot be known by others. We need to come up with a different explanation," Derick added to Guinaifen from the side.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Guinaifen nodded repeatedly.

Hanya and Xueyi saw that Derick had an idea, so they took their leave.

Hanya said to Derick: "The Ten-Lords Commission has other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first. Mr. Derick, if you need any help, you can have Tail contact us."

Derick nodded, watching the two leave.

He turned to look at Huohuo and Sushang. Seeing Derick's gaze on them, the two nervously took a few steps back.

"I will now go prepare the Star Registry so you can come over quickly." Xueyi said to Derick and his group.

"Let's go, let's find a place to eat and talk. After all, we're about to start cooperating, and you being this nervous... being nervous isn't good," Derick said gently to the two.

"Okay, okay." Sushang nodded stiffly.

Derick prepared to take the group to eat. But before going, he glanced at Castorice.

Derick didn't carry money; Castorice, like Cipher, had made some preparations, and had converted everything into Xianzhou currency, Xunyuan. If Derick wanted to treat them to a meal, he would still need Castorice's help.

Seeing Derick's expression, Castorice naturally nodded, having no reason to refuse.

Just as they were about to go eat, Derick's phone rang.

"It's Hyacine, what's wrong on her end?"

Derick saw it was a call from Hyacine and asked, puzzled.

Though puzzled, he still answered the call.

"Hyacine, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Derick, Firefly, she, she seems to have gotten into some trouble." Hyacine replied weakly.

Hearing Hyacine's tone, Derick quickly and anxiously said: "Hyacine, don't talk about Firefly's situation yet. What happened to you? Are you injured or something?"

"When I was walking with her in the Alchemy Commission, I noticed something was wrong with her. Just as I was about to question her, she struck me down first. After knocking me out, she left. As for me, I lay unconscious in the bushes for quite a while before."

Derick continued to ask: "How are you now?"

"After Miss Bailu bandaged me up, I'm fine. Derick, something is wrong with Firefly's situation. You must bring her back."

Derick nodded.

"Alright, I understand. I'll bring her back." Derick heard Hyacine say she was fine, and his hanging heart was put at ease.

"You should rest and recover from your injuries."

"Okay, then Derick, I'll rest now." Hearing Derick's assurance, Hyacine also felt relieved. The immortality from Derick's genes hadn't been activated; she was simply waiting for natural recovery.

"Mhm, you rest first."

Derick then hung up the phone.

The others' strength was present, so Derick and Hyacine's conversation was easily overheard by them. Hearing that Hyacine had been attacked, Castorice and Cipher were both very tense.

"Firefly, how could she be like this?" Cipher mumbled, puzzled. She knew that Firefly was hiding secrets, but she believed Firefly wouldn't attack the doctor treating her. Now, hearing that Hyacine was attacked, it was truly beyond Cipher's expectations.

But then she realized.

"This Firefly was controlled by a Heliobi."

Cipher said to Derick.

"Yes, I suppose so." Derick nodded: "But no matter what, whether she's controlled by a Heliobi or not, we need to find her first. Cipher, you must have some preparations for this, right?"

"That's right, Derick, you really understand me." Cipher casually picked up a device.
