Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 168 Unforeseen Circumstance_1

"Forget it, let’s head back to school, he probably really is caught up in something..."

Zhong Liuyan sighed helplessly, and just as everyone was preparing to leave, Zhong Liuyan’s phone chimed. She opened it, took one look, and her expression changed immediately. She tugged on Feng Yuan’s clothes and anxiously showed him the phone, saying,

"What do we do now!"

Taking the phone from Zhong Liuyan with a puzzled look, Feng Yuan saw a text message on the screen that read just two words,

"Call police!"

After a glance at the sender marked as Pei Yu, Feng Yuan looked at Zhong Liuyan and asked,

"The number is Pei Yu’s, right?"

"Mhm..."

"Then we should call the police."

"What happened?"

Qi Chen took the phone from Feng Yuan’s hand, and his expression darkened as he said,

"Is this a distress message?"

"Don’t know, but just these two words don’t seem very useful."

Feng Yuan scratched his head, somewhat at a loss, and Qi Chen, also somewhat helplessly, said,

"Indeed, these two words alone can’t prove he’s in danger..."

"Let’s first inform his parents about this."

Seeing that neither could think of a better idea, Feng Yuan simply turned and walked back to Pei Yu’s front door to ring the bell. Pei Yu’s mother opened the door and, puzzled, asked,

"What’s wrong? Did you forget something here?"

After Feng Yuan gestured to the two behind him, he said,

"We received a text message and don’t know how to deal with it."

Seeing the other party looking puzzled, Feng Yuan hesitated before saying,

"Can we talk about it inside?"

Pei Yu’s mother hesitated for a moment, but seeing the somewhat panicked Zhong Liuyan, she nodded and said,

"Alright, come in."

After the door closed, Feng Yuan handed over the phone, and Pei Yu’s mother, puzzling over the message, suddenly realized the implications, and said in surprise,

"This... this couldn’t have been sent by Xiao Yu, could it...?"

Feng Yuan replied calmly,

"The number is Pei Yu’s, but whether it was sent by him personally, I’m not sure."

Pei Yu’s mother handed back the phone to Feng Yuan, trying to maintain her composure, and said,

"Wait here a moment. I’ll speak with Pei Yu’s father."

After watching Pei Yu’s mother head back into the house, Feng Yuan returned the phone to Zhong Liuyan. In a while, Pei Yu’s mother returned, visibly shaking, and said,

"Sorry, we’ve already called the police. Could you please wait here? I’ll talk to your teachers."

When Pei Yu’s mother noticed the confusion among Feng Yuan and the others, she took a deep breath and said,

"I received that text message as well..."

Just then, the phone in her hand started to ring. After answering the call, she collapsed to the ground in a daze and said,

"His teacher also received the same text message..."

"You can’t get through to his cell phone?"

Feng Yuan, puzzled, took Zhong Liuyan’s phone to try calling. As the no signal tone played, Feng Yuan’s expression soured. Since Feng Yuan had on speakerphone, everyone else heard it too, prompting Qi Chen to look at Feng Yuan anxiously and say,

"Has he gone into some dangerous area?" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Don’t know, but it could also be a shielded area. Although we can turn off the phone, the Alliance’s phones, considering safety, have a mandatory tracking system. It’s just that the tracking information is highly confidential..."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan took out his phone and called Captain Chen. After a while, Feng Yuan put his phone down and said to the anxious group,

"Don’t look at me like that. Let’s inform the police first. Captain Chen said he would help me contact Captain Yang and see if we can get his movements traced, though the chances are slim..."

"Movement trace?!"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, and after a moment of silence, Zhong Liuyan said,

"The Alliance’s phones record information every time they enter a new area. Although we can’t pinpoint the exact location, we can indeed trace the rough path taken."

"That’s a bit too much, isn’t it?"

"Not really. Adults, or those with a Beastmaster license, can have the mandatory tracking disabled at a police station. But for safety reasons, most people don’t apply to have it turned off."

Seeing Qi Chen still somewhat puzzled, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"After all, unexpected things can happen when you’re out and about. With a mandatory tracking system, there’s a much better chance of finding you when necessary."

"That’s true, and now we’re hoping we can retrieve his location to help him..."

Qi Chen gave a self-deprecating smile, while Zhong Liuyan spoke with some confusion,

"I remember that the police station doesn’t have the authority to access positioning information, right? Unless it’s a special major incident with special authorization."

"Captain Yang might be able to, after all, he’s the captain of the special bureau. If he’s willing to help, I estimate it won’t be difficult..."

"Do you think he would agree to help?"

"That..."

When Qi Chen posed the question, Feng Yuan hesitated for a while before responding,

"He might..."

"Should I go back to the dormitory and grab my bracelet first?"

"Hurry up and return, I’ll explain things here for you."

Qi Chen nodded to Feng Yuan, who sighed and turned to leave. Zhong Liuyan looked at Qi Chen with some confusion and asked,

"What bracelet?"

Qi Chen glanced at the sighing mother of Pei Yu and first comforted her with a few words, then explained Feng Yuan’s special ability to search for missing people to the two of them. Upon hearing Qi Chen’s explanation, they both felt a bit relieved.

"Feng Yuan! Where are you running off to this late at night!"

Someone called out to him, and Feng Yuan, somewhat puzzled, turned to find it was Teacher Mu. He scratched his head in confusion and said,

"Didn’t you hear? Pei Yu had an accident. I was planning to go help. Didn’t Pei Yu’s mother notify you?"

Teacher Mu looked at Feng Yuan with suspicion and said,

"Why are you involved in everything? Never mind, you do have some skill in searching for people. Come with me."

Seeing that Feng Yuan was wearing plain clothes, Teacher Mu frowned and said,

"Go change into that outfit of yours, otherwise, don’t join us in the operation."

"What outfit?"

Feng Yuan suddenly realized and said in surprise,

"Are you talking about the Wolf God’s Robe?"

Teacher Mu nodded, and Feng Yuan, scratching his head, said with a bright smile,

"Is that necessary?"

"How else are we supposed to guarantee your safety? We can’t be sure that what happened that night won’t happen again. If you don’t change, I’m not allowing you to go!"

Remembering the events of that night, Teacher Mu was still shaken, and Feng Yuan shook his head and reluctantly went back to his dormitory to change clothes.

"Why did you take so long? And you changed clothes?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with surprise. Feng Yuan, with a helpless gesture, pointed behind him. Seeing Teacher Mu staring at him, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some bewilderment. Teacher Mu turned to Qi Chen and said helplessly,

"Why have you come here too?"

Qi Chen quickly explained what had just happened and what they planned to do. Teacher Mu glanced at Feng Yuan with some understanding,

"No wonder you asked me the other day if Xiao Ling and I were relatives..."

"Later, you and Zhong Liuyan should hurry back to the dormitory."

"And what about him?"

Qi Chen looked surprised, and Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"I’m responsible for searching for people."

Inside the room, the officer who had just taken the statement from Pei Yu’s mother said with a headache,

"Based on your situation, it’s difficult for us to determine if something really happened..."

"You aren’t going to do nothing, are you?"

Seeing Zhong Liuyan glaring at him, the other officer scratched his head with some helplessness,

"That’s not it. It’s just that we can’t mobilize the police force to help you look for someone. Recently, so many things have happened in Maomu City, and the police force is seriously understaffed. So, please understand. Of course, if there is any solid evidence, we could indeed assign more people."

"You’re back~"

Seeing Feng Yuan come in, Zhong Liuyan said with hope, and Feng Yuan raised his left hand to show the bracelet on his wrist and said,

"Now we can search for him."

"Wait, isn’t Captain Yang here?"

Seeing Feng Yuan getting ready to act, Teacher Mu hurriedly said. The officer, holding a pen with a puzzled expression, said,

"Captain Yang? Which one are you referring to?"

"Yang Hongfang."

"Ah? Captain Yang won’t intervene in such a trivial matter. It’s not that we are discriminating against you guys, but with the Transcend Sect and G Organization causing such trouble recently, we can’t spare enough manpower, so..."

Watching the officer rush to explain, Teacher Mu sighed and said,

"I’ll give him a call..."
