That night, Rulu returned to Blue Sea City and attempted to contact Nana and the others who were still staying on the island via the internet. He successfully contacted Nana. Rulu asked Nana about Shari's recent situation, inquiring whether Shari had left the island and gone to Blue Sea City during this time.
Nana replied to Rulu, saying, "Because you haven't come back recently, Rulu, Shari felt very stifled and bored on the island, so she would often return to Blue Sea City alone by herself."
Rulu asked, "Why didn't you stop Shari, and why didn't you inform me about these things?"
Nana answered, "We did try to stop Shari, but she has been missing her parents in Blue Sea City very much. Moreover, Shari waited until midnight when we were all asleep to leave, and she returned to the island the next morning. So, we had never noticed that Shari had been to Blue Sea City until the past few days when we finally discovered it. At that time, we tried to contact you, Rulu, but we couldn't get in touch."
Rulu thought to himself that he had indeed been busy handling the Rebels' affairs recently and rarely contacted Nana and the others. He continued to ask, "Then where is Shari now? Is she still on the island?"
Nana replied, "Usually, Shari waits until late at night to leave. She should still be on the island right now, but we haven't seen her all afternoon today... Wait, W.W. just told me that she saw Shari flying toward Blue Sea City in the afternoon. It is very likely that Shari went to Blue Sea City this afternoon."
Upon hearing the news that Shari might be in Blue Sea City, Rulu immediately told Nana and the others to continue looking for Shari on the island, while he himself drove to Shari's house.
Shari's family was very wealthy. Her home was an extremely expansive manor villa located near the mountainous area. Before long, Rulu drove up to the front gates of this manor villa. He got out of the car and looked through the iron fence into the manor villa. He saw that the courtyard of this villa was as vast as a public square, brightly lit, and planted with an abundance of flowers and trees. In the center of the courtyard sat a large white residential house.
Because he wasn't sure if Shari was here, Rulu didn't rashly intrude into this villa. He rang the doorbell at the courtyard gate. After a short while, the slightly cold voice of a middle-aged man came from the intercom: "Who are you, please?"
Rulu had been to Shari's home a few times before and had some understanding of its environment. He knew this was the voice of Shari's family butler, so he immediately spoke into the intercom, "I am Rulu, Shari's schoolmate."
"Rulu? Oh... it's that young man." The butler seemed to have some impression of Rulu. He said, "It's so late, what is your business here?"
"I'm here to look for Shari. Is Shari at home?"
The butler hesitated for about ten seconds before saying, "I'm sorry, Miss Shari is not at home. She went out traveling and hasn't returned yet."
Rulu realized the butler was lying, but he didn't expose the lie. Instead, he continued, "Then are Shari's parents at home? I would like to see them."
The butler said, "I'm sorry, it's too late now. The master and madam are not seeing guests. If there is no other important business, please come back tomorrow."
"Alright then, sorry to bother you."
Although he didn't see Shari's parents and didn't get any useful information from the butler, Rulu had no intention of leaving. Rulu thought to himself that no matter what, he had to figure out whether Shari was home today; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to set his mind at ease.
Rulu put on his mask and slowly raised his hands. At this moment, on his wrists were two dazzling golden bracelets. These two bracelets were forged from gold and could enhance his Magic Psionic power, allowing him to control the gravity of external objects and manipulate things out of thin air, just like W.W.
With a "boom," the pillar of a nearby large metal billboard automatically snapped. The billboard flew into the air, flying toward Rulu, and finally landed gently on the ground in front of him. Rulu leaped onto the billboard, which then carried him rapidly into the air. Like a flying carpet, it carried Rulu into the sky above the villa within the courtyard, finally landing on the rooftop of the manor villa.
Rulu infiltrated the villa through a window. He searched around the villa to see if he could find Shari. Suddenly, the sound of the front door closing came from the first-floor hall, followed by the sound of a conversation. Hearing these sounds, Rulu immediately and quietly approached the staircase on the second floor to eavesdrop on the conversation in the hall.
He heard a middle-aged man's voice saying, "Why are you only back now? Didn't I tell you to come home early because I had something to discuss with you?"
A middle-aged woman replied in a complaining tone, "Don't you know I've been running around for our daughter's sake? I went out early in the morning and have been busy all day. I'm exhausted to death, and now you're blaming me."
Hearing these words, Rulu realized that the two people talking were Shari's parents. Rulu immediately listened attentively to the conversation in the hall, wanting to obtain news about Shari from it.
Shari's father said, "You don't need to work so hard anymore. I've found a way to cure the disease on our daughter's body."
Shari's mother said in a pleasantly surprised voice, "Really? That's wonderful. The recent news has been reporting about our daughter, saying she's some kind of monster from the Sanctuary. If our daughter stays in her current state, she will definitely be treated like a monster and be taken away or killed."
Shari's father said, "Yes, who would have thought that after Shari took a trip to the Sanctuary, she would actually contract such a strange disease. When we ask her how she got sick, she refuses to say. It really worries us to death."
Shari's mother said, "When will Shari be back? Does she still have to wait until midnight to come home, like the past few days?"
Shari's father said, "No, Shari came back as soon as it got dark today."
Shari's mother said, "Shari came back? Then where is she now?"
Shari's father said, "She is not at home, she went out."
"Ah, what exactly is going on?"
"It's like this. You also know that I have been trying to find a way to treat Shari all this time. Just today, I finally found a doctor who can cure the strange disease on our daughter's body."
"Who is that doctor? Is he really confident he can cure the strange disease on our daughter's body?"
Shari's father said, "I heard he used to practice medicine in the Sanctuary and only recently came to Blue Sea City. He is now the private physician of our Blue Sea City's Governor. Aside from the Governor, he never treats anyone else. I spent a lot of money and asked many connections for favors to be able to hire him."
"Then where is he now? Why didn't you invite him to our house to treat our daughter?"
"That doctor said he was very busy with work and couldn't get away, so he sent someone to our home. They picked up our daughter not long ago."
"So that's how it is. Wait, hasn't our daughter always been very resistant to us treating her? Why would she be so cooperative this time?"
"I'm not clear about this either. But don't worry, those people were personally sent by the Governor, so they certainly wouldn't harm our daughter. We just need to patiently wait for good news about our daughter."
"Mm, I hope when our daughter returns, she will be restored to her former appearance and no longer be treated as a monster by others."
