As Du You left, the Dark Swamp on the ground quickly dissipated.
Yes, Du You can now disperse his own Dark Swamp. This was a discovery made after using the skill.
Upon reaching the third-tier skill, Du You’s Dark Swamp and Hellfire Thunder both received significant upgrades. Not only in terms of power and range, their control became much easier as well.
Both the Dark Swamp and Hellfire Thunder can now be maintained for 24 hours. Such a duration is already highly effective in battle. Most importantly, he can disperse it himself.
In the past, once his Dark Swamp and Hellfire Thunder were released, they had to be left as they were. Either they had to be destroyed by other means, or they had to fade away automatically when time was up.
But now it’s different. Du You can actively disperse them. It may not seem useful, but for trap-type skills, the ability to dismantle means they can be used more flexibly and expose him less.
Returning to the city with the two sisters, Du You found that the city guards indeed saw no difference in him.
When Li Sanyuan did things , not everyone would know, and not even those who went with him would necessarily know. Du You heard people discussing Li Sanyuan’s departure from the city without even having to ask.
Bringing so many people, it’s impossible not to expose anything. According to their conversations, Li Sanyuan’s excuse was that he had found enemies threatening the city, so he took people to exterminate them.
As for the duration, there was no definite time limit.
Du You returned home in an unmanned vehicle with the two sisters, the whole process was just as normal. None of them talked about what had happened earlier. Being cautious was not worthless. These driverless cars are technological products, who knows if there are any special eavesdropping devices inside.
Although it was always stated in the propaganda that there would be no problems and that privacy would be protected, anyone who really believed so would be a fool.
Back home, they could finally relax. "The next few days are crucial, be careful, investigate secretly, and don’t let any traces be found," Du You whispered.
Then, on the first day afterward, Du You did not roam around but stayed at home openly, even taking the time to go downstairs. Seeing Du You return, many people came forward to greet him warmly.
Du You had become an exemplary child in other families, a role model for all the children. Every day, people would bring their children to be around Du You.
There were also some older men and women, with their granddaughters and nieces, often lingering around him. Some openly introduced their relatives, while others were more subtle and did not explain their intentions.
Having dealt with a wave of people, Du You touched his own head; when did he become so popular?
If you took into account his earlier days, even if he stood at the front gate, nobody would pay any mind to him. So this sort of treatment was quite new. Just one day of this, Du You felt a bit overwhelmed, and he stayed at home for the following days.
As for the fact that there were two pretty girls at Du You’s house, no one minded. In their minds, it was nothing unusual for a powerful person to have a few women around. The concepts of the people in this world were quite different from those on the original Earth.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. That evening, the two sisters returned home again.
"How was the investigation, any movement yet?" Du You asked.
Lin Yucha nodded: "No special moves, it seems like the Lin Family doesn’t even know about it. Everything is calm at the city hall too, it’s unclear what exactly they are up to."
Du You frowned, such a thing could only be investigated by himself, it was impossible to discuss it with others. Latest content publıshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Continue the investigation then. The longer the delay, the better for us."
Du You didn’t know that at this time, the Lin Family and the city hall were indeed calm.
The personality of Lin Feng from the Lin Family was well-known to all. Even if he came back from college and went out to enjoy himself for a few days without returning home, it was nothing strange, so no one realized that Lin Feng was missing.
Lady Lin’s status in the family was very high, so no one dared to pry into her affairs casually. Plus, during this period, the Lin Family was close with the mayor and even won a mining rights contract.
Although the mining rights had not yet reached the hands of the Lin Family, it was almost a done deal. So, the upper class of the Lin Family was all busily preparing for this matter, they were very occupied.
The father of Lin Feng was always busy in his own company and had not been home. So he did not notice Lady Lin’s disappearance. A variety of coincidences resulted in no one noticing something wrong.
As for the city hall, Li Sanyuan had given a heads-up beforehand, and it was normal for the extermination of dangerous elements to be uncertain in its duration. Sometimes it could be resolved as soon as they arrive, other times it might take one or two months without any gain. And during this period, it was not strange if they did not make contact with the city.
It was because of these reasons that no one discovered that these people were missing.
The battlefield, just as Du You expected, was not thoroughly investigated even when occasionally people arrived there. Or more precisely, those who were out were not geographers, who would be interested in an unfamiliar area?
As a result, when people and some Magical Beasts passed through that area, the battlefield’s traces were completely destroyed. Now even if someone finds something wrong with that place, it will be hard to find out anything.
The reason people were heading that way was because of the Sub-Dragon.
Only several days later did someone notice the Sub-Dragon was missing. But no one thought that the Sub-Dragon had been killed; instead, they believed that it might have healed its wounds and left.
This was why Du You felt the city was so peaceful. But this was good, a day without trouble was really comfortable.
"It’s been three days, we cannot always wait for others. Being idle is not good, let’s find a time to enter the Derived World to upgrade our power. If not, let’s go to the city center," Du You said.
The two sisters nodded lightly, they would follow Du You’s command completely in this respect. Wherever Du You said to go, they would just follow. After all, Du You wouldn’t harm them.
