Liu Yang ran at great speed toward where he was standing to avoid suspicion, but his clothes and various body parts were cut off to show that he fought zombies inside the buildings.
To avoid being discovered by the guards, he used a concealment skill to pass through the portal but was discovered. Before the guards could send messages asking for help and trying to stop him, Liu Yang had already fled the building at great speed.
After leaving the Zombie World, Liu Yang disappeared from China and went to another country.
During his escape, he sent goodbye messages to his friends. But for Katharin and Xinyue, he asked them to wait because he was coming back.
There were no more ways to hide it, for another reason made him do it. A very alarming reason.
But news of one of the Zombie Generals being defeated quickly spread among the guilds, the Hunters Association, and the government.
It was pretty insane for one of these things to be defeated by someone unknown because only a few Hunters entered the Zombie World, none of them were very notable.
Without ways to neutralize the poison's effects, it was impossible to defeat a creature as powerful as the Zombie General without being affected by the poison.
Thus, all those who entered and exited the Zombie World in the last twenty-four hours were summoned to give explanations. But there was no need to investigate and interrogate.
Only Liu Yang was missing among all those who entered Zombie World that day the Zombie General was defeated, but he was never found inside. So he was the person who went through the portal using a concealment skill.
No matter where they looked, Liu Yang was never found.
…
In one of the most prestigious research centers in China…
Xinyue was in her research room, alone as she sat in front of a projection in front of her.
The image of a middle-aged man wearing an expensive suit. The expression on his face was solemn and very serious.
"Master, it seems your thoughts were correct. Level Lock does have some hidden effects, but we still don't know what those effects are." Xinyue spoke with a helpful tone, but internally, she felt a great shock because it was a great discovery about the skill.
"This was expected. It is impossible for an Unknown rank skill no have special effects. Only idiots would think that way. But to be able to defeat a Zombie General alone, the true power of the skill is beyond my expectations. It seems that the power of Level Lock is much greater than imagined. It's a shame he fled the country, otherwise, I wish I had captured him to do more experiments and find out what the other effects of the Level Lock are" He commented coldly.
Information about Liu Yang was quickly spread across the world. But only the big shots, the Hunters Association, and the governments know about it.
Thus, Liu Yang became the target of a big hunt a few hours after he started to run away.
"This servant apologizes for not being able to find out information about the Level Lock while I was with him. It seems Liu Yang managed to hide deeply about the information" Xinyue was like a faithful servant to her master.
"Everything is fine. That kid was taught by the best, so it's normal for that to happen. Does the other woman know anything about this?" He was referring to Katharin.
"No. He sent the same message to both of us, that he would come back."
"I see… He had already run away before they could find out about him. As his power is unknown, it's impossible to know what he can do. So it's better to wait until he comes back. You can keep doing your thing. If there is any information about Liu Yang, please contact me immediately, this is an order."
A symbol appeared on Xinyue's chest.
The symbol looked like a magic circle, but there were several characters around it. It was the slave seal.
"Yes, Master. This servant will do it."
The call was ended by the other side.
"..." Xinyue sat in the chair with her eyes closed, but two tears fell from her beautiful eyes.
"Liu Yang… If it's possible… Never come back…" She mumbled wistfully with her eyes closed before falling asleep.
Liu Yang already knew about her having a slave seal on her body.
After he returned home from the cave-in in the Silver World, one of the skills he received from one of the dead Hunters was called Sense.
The skill allows the user to see some abnormality in the body of someone or thing.
Thus, he discovered that Xinyue had a slave seal on her body.
From that day onwards, Liu Yang thought of ways to remove the seal. But it was only possible in two ways.
The owner of the skill cancels the seal or puts a more powerful seal.
Liu Yang couldn't do either, so he had to put it aside until he could do it.
Xinyue only approached Liu Yang because her master ordered. He never thought that the Level Lock only made the owner of the skill an ordinary person.
So he sent her to keep an eye on Liu Yang and get information.
After several months of investigation, the results appeared.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Liu Yang was already thinking about killing him because of the slave seal.
…
In Europe, Katharin was being interrogated by a Hunter with the skills that cause targets to always tell the truth.
So, she was asked what she knew about the Level Lock and if she knew anything about Liu Yang.
Unfortunately, she didn't know anything about it.
Liu Yang hid the information about the Level Lock so well, the two women never noticed.
The trackers that were placed on the items given by the two women were also destroyed. So there was no way to locate him.
Katharin was released after interrogation, but her biggest concern was for Liu Yang. She wanted to know where he was and if he was all right.
