To prevent such a situation from occurring, Mu Lin first disguised himself as a white person. This would allow him to evade the pursuit of those with ill intentions in the shortest possible time. To effectively avoid the attention of Y country’s police and white people during this period, the most effective method was to hide among university students, the most innocent group.
If you place a grain of sand in the desert, no one will be able to find it. To become like a grain of sand in the desert, one must completely transform into a grain of sand. In the area of University College London and London University, two famous London institutions, there are merely students numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Within these universities, many students rent accommodation in nearby residents’ homes. Two elderly couples in their seventies would certainly have dulled senses. According to their need to rent rooms to students and the interpersonal relationships typical of Western society, they likely did not interact closely with their neighbors. Thus, living in their home would not attract attention from the surrounding people.
After wandering through several apartment buildings on campus, Mu Lin’s hand now held a student ID. The owner of the ID was a student living in the building. The photo on the ID bore a slight resemblance to Mu Lin himself, making it his main credential for activities here.
Mu Lin smoothly found his chosen target, a two-story duplex villa. Its exterior was designed like a cottage from a fairy tale, harmoniously integrated with the surrounding verdant lawns and golden-leaved trees.
With this student ID, Mu Lin quickly gained the trust of the elderly homeowners, a white-haired couple full of vitality. Next, Mu Lin signed a six-month rental contract as required and paid the first three months’ rent and a deposit.
Mu Lin was assigned a side room on the second floor, a room with an en-suite bathroom, completely isolated from the outside world once the door was closed. Mu Lin planned to stay here for one or two months until the situation calmed down, then quickly leave.
Fortunately, the rental agreement included three meals a day, reducing the need for Mu Lin to appear in public places and minimizing the risk of exposure. Mu Lin’s current identity was a postgraduate student at the London University-affiliated Business School. Soon, he could bring back piles of books from outside, using the excuse of studying and preparing for exams to dispel any suspicions from the homeowners about his infrequent outings.
After dropping his backpack and closing the door, Xiao Laipi quickly jumped out of the backpack. Having settled into this temporary refuge, Mu Lin believed he would be free from trouble for a while.
Seeing Xiao Laipi trying to speak, Mu Lin quickly stopped him. Using his mind-sensing ability, Mu Lin discovered the elderly couple downstairs and whispered the whole story to Xiao Laipi. Once Xiao Laipi fully understood, their conversation began using secret whispering techniques.
Seeing Xiao Laipi’s cautious demeanor, Mu Lin couldn’t help but smile, yet he admired its attentiveness. After all, this creature had lived for hundreds of years. With just a little prompting, it had learned to completely hide itself here.
Xiao Laipi currently didn’t need large amounts of food for sustenance. Its main diet consisted of floating stones, supplemented by small amounts of fruit. Since Mu Lin had plenty of fruit stored in his ring, there was no risk of exposure through food or other issues.
Since everything in the room was already provided, Mu Lin didn’t need to bring more items to settle in. After a quick wash, Mu Lin eagerly turned on the television to learn about the current developments.
As soon as the TV was turned on, several news channels were broadcasting reports about Mu Lin’s disappearance. The footage showed Mu Lin’s villa already sealed off by the police, but occasional replays clearly revealed soldiers from country Y wearing green berets, armed and positioned in various areas of Mu Lin’s villa. The video also displayed the empty rooms inside Mu Lin’s main villa. Through these images, viewers could easily grasp what had taken place.
Although the police had set up checkpoints at various intersections, several TV reporters, warned in advance by Mu Lin, successfully avoided the police and reached Mu Lin’s former villa. They carefully filmed all the scenes and transmitted the signals back to the TV stations.
However, many media reporters were intercepted by police assigned with special tasks. As more and more reporters were stopped, the police began to sense something unusual. Originally, their mission was to seal off several streets around Mu Lin’s villa, prohibiting anyone from entering the special area. But no one expected so many media reporters to head there. Facing the reporters’ questions, the police couldn’t answer and quickly reported the situation to their superiors, requesting solutions.
Before the police station could figure out the situation, several TV morning news programs had already broadcast footage from Mu Lin’s villa. Soon, more TV stations rebroadcast the news. When viewers called the police station, they learned what had happened in the area.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the police station dispatched a large number of officers to seal off Mu Lin’s villa and quickly reported the situation to the National Emergency Response Office. Subsequently, the National Emergency Response Office reported the incident to the Prime Minister’s Office. By the time the Prime Minister received the report, basically everyone around the world who had watched the morning news already knew about the mysterious disappearance of Mu Lin from his private villa in London, Y country.
Yesterday afternoon, the U.S. ambassador to Y country, after discussing the previous day’s events with the U.S. president, informed the embassy’s intelligence staff that the U.S. government was also furious over Y country’s government and royal family’s arbitrary breach of promises. However, this was a matter between two countries, and since no formal agreement had been signed, only verbal commitments existed. Now that the other side had unilaterally changed the conditions, even the U.S. was temporarily helpless. Therefore, they had to agree to Mu Lin’s request to return home today and arranged for designated personnel to accompany him back to provide reassurance.
As the ambassador was about to begin breakfast, embassy intelligence staff informed him that Mu Lin had mysteriously disappeared in Y country, and this news had already been broadcast on major TV stations worldwide. Additionally, citizens back home had already called to inquire about the truth of the matter. Only then did the ambassador realize that Mu Lin had once again become the spark that ignited an international news frenzy.
