To avoid such a situation, Mu Lin first disguised himself as a white person. This allowed him to evade the pursuit of those who had ill intentions toward him 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 purest 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 thoroughly transform into a grain of sand. In the area of University College London and London University, two of London’s famous academic institutions, there were hundreds of thousands of students alone. Among these two universities, many students rented accommodations in nearby homes. An elderly couple in their seventies would certainly have dulled senses. Given their need to rent rooms to students and the nature of interpersonal relationships in Western society, it was likely they did not interact closely with their neighbors. Therefore, living in this household would not draw attention from the surrounding people.
After wandering around several apartment buildings on campus, Mu Lin held in his hand a student ID card. The owner of the ID was a student living in this building. The photo on the ID bore a slight resemblance to Mu Lin himself, making it his primary credential for moving about here.
Mu Lin smoothly found his chosen target: a two-story duplex villa. Its exterior was designed like a cottage from a fairy tale, seamlessly blending with the surrounding emerald green lawns and golden-leaved trees.
With this student ID, Mu Lin quickly gained the trust of the elderly couple who owned the house, both with heads of white hair but still full of vigor. Soon afterward, Mu Lin signed a six-month rental contract as required. He paid the first three months’ rent and a deposit according to their requirements.
Mu Lin was assigned a side room on the second floor. This room came with a private bathroom, and once the door was closed, it was completely isolated from the outside world. Mu Lin planned to stay here for one or two months, waiting for the situation to calm down before quickly leaving.
Fortunately, the rental agreement signed by the homeowners included three meals a day, which meant Mu Lin did not need to appear in public often, reducing the risk of exposure. His current identity was that of a graduate student at the London University-affiliated Business School. When the time came, Mu Lin only needed to bring back a pile of books from outside, using the excuse of needing to study and prepare for exams to dispel the couple’s suspicions about his infrequent outings.
After dropping his backpack and closing the door, Xiao Laipi quickly jumped out. Having settled into this temporary safe haven, Mu Lin believed he would not encounter any trouble for a while.
Seeing Xiao Laipi about to speak, Mu Lin quickly stopped him. Using his mental senses, Mu Lin detected that the homeowners were downstairs and quietly explained the entire situation. Once Xiao Laipi fully understood what had happened, their conversation began using secret whispering techniques.
Seeing Xiao Laipi’s cautious demeanor, Mu Lin couldn’t help but smile, yet he also admired the creature’s carefulness. After all, this was a creature that had lived for hundreds of years. With just a little prompting from Mu Lin, it had learned to completely conceal itself here.
Xiao Laipi currently did not require large amounts of food to sustain itself; its main diet consisted of floating stones, supplemented by a small amount of fruit each day. Fortunately, Mu Lin had plenty of fruit stored in his ring, so there was no risk of exposure due to food or other needs.
Since everything in the room was already provided, Mu Lin and Xiao Laipi did not need to bring many additional items to settle in. After a quick wash and tidying up, Mu Lin eagerly turned on the television in the room. He urgently needed to learn about the latest developments in the situation.
As soon as the TV was turned on, several news channels were broadcasting reports about Mu Lin’s disappearance. On the screen, Mu Lin’s villa was now sealed off by police, but occasional flashback clips clearly showed Y country’s Green Beret soldiers lying around various parts of the villa, weapons in hand. The footage also showed the main house’s empty rooms. Through these images, viewers could easily understand what had occurred.
Although the police had set up checkpoints at every intersection, several TV reporters had managed to bypass the police due to Mu Lin’s prior warning and successfully reached the villa where he had previously lived. They carefully filmed everything and transmitted the signal back to their stations.
However, many other media reporters were intercepted by police officers assigned to special tasks. As more and more journalists were stopped, the police began to sense that something unusual was happening. Their original orders were to seal off several streets surrounding Mu Lin’s villa, prohibiting anyone from entering this special area. But no one had expected so many media reporters to head there. Facing the reporters’ questions, the officers were unable to respond and quickly reported the situation to their superiors, requesting guidance on how to handle it.
Before the police could figure out the situation, several morning news programs had already broadcast footage from Mu Lin’s villa. Soon, more TV stations rebroadcast the reports. By the time viewers began calling the police station to inquire, the police had finally realized what had actually happened in that area.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the police dispatched a large force to seal off Mu Lin’s villa and quickly reported the situation to the National Emergency Response Office. The National Emergency Response Office then reported the incident to the Prime Minister’s Office. By the time the Prime Minister received the report, people around the world who had watched the morning news had already learned about the mysterious disappearance of Mu Lin from his private villa in London, Y country.
To avoid this situation, Mu Lin first disguised himself as a Caucasian. This would allow him to evade the scrutiny of those with ulterior motives in the shortest time possible. To effectively avoid the attention of Y Country’s police and the white population during this period, the most effective method was to hide within the most innocent group—university students.
If a grain of sand is placed in a desert, no one would be able to find it. To become like a grain of sand in the desert, one must completely transform into sand. In the renowned academic districts of University College London and the University of London, there are over a hundred thousand students alone.
Among these two universities, many students rent rooms from surrounding residents. A couple in their seventies would naturally have dulled senses due to age. Given their need to rent out rooms to students and the nature of interpersonal relationships in Western society, their interactions with neighbors were likely minimal. This made it the perfect place for Mu Lin to stay without drawing attention.
After wandering around a few apartment buildings on campus, Mu Lin obtained a student ID. The owner of the ID was a student living in one of these buildings, and the photo on it bore some resemblance to Mu Lin himself—this would be his primary credential for moving around in the future.
Mu Lin quickly found his chosen target: a two-story duplex cottage designed like a fairytale house, blending seamlessly with the lush green lawns and golden-leafed trees surrounding it.
Using the student ID, Mu Lin easily gained the trust of the elderly but spirited couple who owned the house. Following their requirements, he signed a six-month rental contract and paid the first three months’ rent along with a deposit.
His room was located on the second floor, a side room with its own bathroom. Once the door was closed, it completely isolated him from the outside world. Mu Lin planned to stay here for a month or two, waiting for the storm to pass before swiftly leaving.
Fortunately, the rental agreement included three meals a day, meaning Mu Lin wouldn’t need to appear in public often, reducing the risk of exposure. His new identity was that of a graduate student at the London Business School. When the time came, he could simply bring back a pile of books, claiming he needed to study and prepare for exams, which would dispel any suspicion from the elderly couple about his lack of outings.
After setting down his backpack and closing the door, Xiao Laipi quickly jumped out. Settling into this temporary refuge, Mu Lin believed he wouldn’t face any trouble for a while.
Seeing Xiao Laipi about to speak, Mu Lin quickly stopped him. Using his telepathic senses, he detected the elderly couple downstairs and quietly explained the situation to Xiao Laipi. Once Xiao Laipi fully understood, their conversation shifted to silent telepathy.
Amused by Xiao Laipi’s cautious demeanor, Mu Lin couldn’t help but chuckle. Yet, he also admired the creature’s attentiveness—after all, it had lived for centuries. With just a little guidance, it had learned to completely conceal itself here.
Xiao Laipi didn’t require much food to sustain itself—its main diet consisted of pumice stones, supplemented by a small amount of fruit daily. Fortunately, Mu Lin’s ring still held a large stock of fruit, eliminating any risk of exposure due to food or other necessities.
Since the room was already fully furnished, Mu Lin didn’t need to bring much to settle in. After freshening up, he eagerly turned on the TV, desperate to learn about the latest developments.
Several news channels were broadcasting reports about Mu Lin’s disappearance. His villa was now cordoned off by the police, but intermittent footage clearly showed Y Country’s Green Beret soldiers lying motionless, weapons in hand, scattered across the property. The broadcast also displayed empty rooms inside the main villa, making it easy for viewers to piece together what had happened.
Although the police had set up checkpoints at every intersection, a few journalists—thanks to Mu Lin’s prior warning—had managed to evade them and reach his villa. They captured detailed footage and successfully transmitted it back to their stations.
However, many other reporters were intercepted by police claiming to be on a special mission. As more and more media personnel were blocked, the officers began sensing something unusual. Their original orders had been to seal off the streets around Mu Lin’s villa, preventing anyone from entering the area. But no one had anticipated such a large media presence. Unable to answer the reporters’ questions, the police quickly escalated the situation to their superiors for guidance.
Before the police could fully grasp the situation, several TV stations had already aired footage of the incident during their morning news segments. Soon, more networks picked up the story. By the time viewers began calling the police station for answers, the authorities finally realized the gravity of what had occurred in the area.
Recognizing the severity, the police dispatched a large force to secure Mu Lin’s villa and promptly reported the situation to the National Emergency Response Office. The office then escalated the matter to the Prime Minister’s Office. By the time the Prime Minister received the report, nearly everyone around the world who followed morning news had already learned about the mysterious disappearance of Mu Lin from his private villa in London, Y Country.
The previous afternoon, the U Country ambassador to Y Country, after consulting with his president, had expressed frustration over Y Country’s government and royal family reneging on their promises. However, since this was a matter between two nations and no formal agreement had been signed—only verbal assurances—there was little U Country could do when Y Country unilaterally changed the terms. Reluctantly, they agreed to Mu Lin’s request to return home and arranged for an escort to accompany him, hoping to placate him.
Just as the ambassador was about to have breakfast, intelligence officers informed him that Mu Lin had mysteriously vanished in Y Country, and the news was already spreading across global media. With citizens back home calling to verify the reports, the ambassador realized Mu Lin had once again become the spark igniting an international media frenzy.
As the ambassador was about to begin breakfast, intelligence personnel at the embassy informed him that Mu Lin had mysteriously disappeared in Y country, and this news had already been broadcast on major television networks worldwide. Additionally, citizens back home had already called in to verify the truth of the reports. At that moment, the ambassador realized that Mu Lin had once again become the spark that ignited an international media frenzy.
