“It’s human nature. It’s understandable. Officer Huo, how’s the investigation going? Did you find the three 117 members?” Chi Jiao asked after quickly scanning the surroundings.

Huo Chen’s expression looked a little solemn. He slowly shook his head. “Not yet. The three of them disappeared completely like the two previous families. We found their footprints in front of the villa’s door. The footprints extended all the way to the villa. They must have entered.”

“But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the villa’s magnetic field,” Bai Wanxi said as she stood beside Chi Jiao.

Huo Chen looked at her in surprise. “Isn’t this Xu Ye? Are you an Esper too?”

Huo Chen hadn’t interacted much with Xu Ye, so he didn’t notice anything amiss when he saw Bai Wanxi. He thought that she was Xu Ye.

On the other hand, Bai Wanxi felt a little uncomfortable. She tried her best to pretend to be Xu Ye and replied in his voice, “I’m not an Esper. I’m just here to join in the fun.”

“Although Xu Ye isn’t an Esper, he knows a lot of theories that can help us find out the truth.” Chi Jiao lied calmly.

Chi Jiao couldn’t possibly explain Bai Wanxi’s matter to Huo Chen. It was too complicated to explain, plus Huo Chen was just an ordinary person. It was easy for him to be in danger if he knew about Bai Wanxi.

Therefore, it was better to go with the flow and let Huo Chen think that Bai Wanxi was Xu Ye. This would save everyone a lot of trouble.

Huo Chen believed Chi Jiao’s words without hesitation. He looked at Xu Ye with surprise. “I didn’t expect Xu Ye to have such talent.”

Seeing Bai Wanxi smile awkwardly, Huo Chen couldn’t help feeling envious.

If he knew a lot about Espers like Xu Ye, would he be able to get closer to Chi Jiao?

Regardless, it was just a fleeting thought and Huo Chen didn’t express his thoughts on his face. He raised his hand in an inviting gesture and smiled. “Do you want to go in and take a look?”

“Let’s go.” Chi Jiao nodded. She followed Huo Chen past the police tape and pulled him to the entrance of the villa. She put on the protective shoe covers and gloves before entering.

Bai Wanxi and Di Ziyan followed closely behind. The four of them entered the villa together.

To Chi Jiao’s surprise, she didn’t feel anything wrong the moment she entered the villa. The magnetic field here was normal. It felt like she was entering an ordinary house. There was nothing strange.

Seeing the other police officers in the villa, Chi Jiao couldn’t help narrowing her eyes worriedly. “Will these ordinary police officers have any problems being here?”

The people who came to the villa previously had disappeared into thin air. No one could guarantee that the innocent police officers wouldn’t be implicated. If they all disappeared, wouldn’t the number of victims just increase?

“It’s strange. Nothing will happen no matter how long we stay here during the day. Every time something happens, it will be at night. Moreover, we’ve experimented with white mice, rabbits, and frogs. They won’t disappear even if they stay here for a few days and nights. The other objects in the house also won’t disappear. Only humans will disappear,” Huo Chen explained.
