I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 15

The brown-haired man looked at Lu Mi with an excited face, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, while Lu Mi just wanted to question.

Who are you?

He seriously recalled for a moment, indeed he had no impression of the man in front of him.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else,” he said.

Gaudi then looked at the young man’s pair of silver eyes that contained no emotion lightly, the latter swept past him.

Then, golden flames swept across, and where the silver spear pointed, the white fog retreated.

Gaudi, who was drained of strength, sat on the ground, looking up at the figure of the young man standing in front of him, like a ghost or god.

At this time, the excitement of seeing the lord finally faded a little, Gaudi’s mind, which was gradually calming down because of relief, finally started to work.

Once he calmed down, Gaudi realized that he had messed up—

He was an undercover agent arranged by the lord! How could he expose his relationship with the lord!

Fortunately, the lord was calm in the face of danger and appeared very unfamiliar to him, otherwise, wouldn’t he have messed up!

Gaudi looked down at the child in his arms.

The five or six-year-old little girl didn’t understand anything yet, she looked at the brown-haired man who was scrutinizing her in a daze. And her ignorance did indeed temporarily reassure the man.

Afterwards, Lu Mi led the two out of the dense fog area.

The golden flames almost burned the increasingly thin white fog.

Gaudi obediently followed behind Lu Mi with the little girl, except for the occasional glances from Gaudi that made Lu Mi feel a bit scorching, everything was fine.

Finally, the little girl saw the shop at the end of the street and ran over joyfully.

“Mom——!”

The next second, the shop door was flung open, and it was Donald who rushed out first, leaning on the door frame.

“Are you okay?” He greeted Lu Mi, who was slowly approaching, with a startled look. Seeing that there were no obvious injuries on the other party, his heart finally settled a bit.

“You can’t act alone like this next time, it’s too dangerous! At least, at least take me with you…” Donald thought of his own failure this time, and his voice gradually lost its strength towards the end, even a bit aggrieved.

Lu Mi’s lips curled slightly, and his gaze passed over Donald to look behind him.

There, in front of the shop door, the boss lady subconsciously caught the child who threw herself into her arms, seeming a bit dazed, “This is?”

Donald seemed to realize this too, following Lu Mi’s gaze, he showed an extremely headache expression.

“She…?” Donald was only a bit speculative about this time’s abyss creature.

Lu Mi slowly said to the boss lady, “Your memory has been damaged, but this little girl is indeed your daughter. If you don’t believe it, open your terminal, there must be photos of you two on it. When you go back to your home, you will find traces of your life together.”

The boss lady looked at him somewhat helplessly.

Lu Mi’s silver eyes were calm, “Memory is a very important thing, losing it may cause temporary panic, but you are not alone now.”

The boss lady looked down following his gaze, and the little girl in her arms was looking at her with a face full of attachment.

The innocent eyes of the child didn’t know the sorrow yet, it seemed that because she hadn’t received a response for a long time, the little girl anxiously reached out to ask for a hug.

And the boss lady, who clearly had no memory, instinctively picked her up and put her in the most comfortable position.

“I’m sorry, Mom, I won’t run around anymore,” the little girl said softly.

She actually saw that no one came to the shop today, and her mother looked very down, so she wanted to go to the street to play with the neighbors, so that the shop could be as lively as usual. But she didn’t meet anyone and got lost in the fog.

“…..”

“It’s okay.”

After a silence, the boss lady hugged her tightly and said softly.

“Mom is not angry.”

The memory devoured by the Forgetful Insect cannot be recovered, so this was the best situation.

The boss lady thanked the two afterwards. If it weren’t for them, she didn’t know what would happen.

It could only be said that fortunately, this discovery was timely, and the Forgetful Insect did not spread widely. Otherwise, in the later stage, there might be a large group of people who forget common sense of life and are completely unable to take care of themselves.

Donald noted down the addresses of the mother and daughter, planning to follow up a few times after writing the report, to ensure that they could return to normal life. As for the other people in this small town, they also need to be checked later to see if there were other victims.

And at this time, Donald finally noticed the brown-haired man on the side.

In theory, the brown-haired man was also handsome, but for some reason, his presence was not high…..Maybe it was because he was always following Lu Mi?

“I’m Gaudi.” In response to Donald’s inquiry, Gaudi introduced himself calmly, “I came to apply for the K8 branch.”

“What a coincidence! We are from the K8 branch.” Donald was surprised.

We? So that means the lord too…

The smile on Gaudi’s lips grew bigger, and he sincerely said, “Can you give me a ride? I’m not very familiar with this area. If I hadn’t met you, I might have been lost for a long time. I would be very grateful.”

In the end, the three of them returned to the branch together.

By the time they dealt with Sikes’ inquiry about the incident in the small town, it was already evening.

Hearing that Lu Mi had dispersed the Forgetful Insects, Sikes was very surprised. Although he knew about Lu Mi’s talent and had high hopes for him early on, that was different from actual combat, let alone in his eyes, this was Lu Mi’s first encounter with an abyss creature! Could this be the privilege of a genius!

Originally, Lu Mi was worried that the only brown-haired man present at the time would expose his abilities, or mention the silver spear. Who knew that the man would directly say that he didn’t remember, as if he was covering for him.

Lu Mi couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling more and more that the man’s attitude towards him along the way was strange and subtle, almost like…Alonfus?

He remembered the scene when the man first saw him and couldn’t help but ponder.

After Lu Mi returned to the dormitory, he directly summoned Alonfus, “Sikes said that the abyss rifts supervised by the other major branches have not reported any abnormalities, so the place where these Forgetful Insects came from should be a new rift.”

The frequency of the appearance of abyss rifts was indeed a bit terrifying now, making people feel like a storm was coming.

“What do you mean?” Alonfus bowed slightly.

Lu Mi casually flipped through the materials brought back from the archives room and said without lifting his head, “I want you to search around that small town, both on the surface and underground, until you reach your radiation limit. Once you find an abyss rift, come back and tell me immediately.”

As he finished speaking, he thought of Gaudi’s strange attitude, his page-turning hand paused slightly, and just as he was about to say something, the door of the dormitory was knocked from outside.

Without Lu Mi’s command, the demon immediately turned into a pitch-black mass and sank into his shadow.

Lu Mi sat in the room where he was the only one, calmly replied, “Come in.”

“——Lord.”

Before entering the door, Gaudi had already confirmed that there was no one around, even the staff next door was not there, and finally no longer concealed his respect.

The brown-haired man bowed to the silver-eyed youth as soon as he came in and called out directly.

“..…”

Lu Mi’s expression went blank for a second, but no one noticed.

He was calm and composed, but in his heart, he connected everything that happened with the Forgetful Insects and the small town, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

“What are you looking for me for?” Lu Mi quickly slipped into a familiar role, looking down at the other party quite coldly, “I’ve said don’t come to me casually if it’s not important.”

The shadow cast by the man behind him on the wall moved imperceptibly, eager to move, it was completely imaginable how dumbfounded the demon hidden in the dark was at this scene.

“Of course, I infiltrated this branch under the command of the Lord, and dare not expose my relationship with the Lord privately.”

Gaudi was completely oblivious to the atmosphere on the scene and consciously self-destruct.

“But I’m ashamed, after encountering the abyss creature in the small town, I often can’t remember some things, and my memory doesn’t seem to be very good…”

He saw it.

Lu Mi lightly covered his lips with one hand, his tone light, “What trouble did you encounter?”

“The trouble, I dare not say, in fact, I just want to ask the Lord if he has arranged another person to contact me and take charge of this matter together.”

As Gaudi spoke, he took out the terminal from his pocket and handed it over.

“For this mission, this terminal is very clean, there are only a few people represented by numbers in the list, I don’t quite remember who they are…”

The man looked at him with a mix of shame and admiration, “I would like to ask for Lord’s guidance.”

Lu Mi took it and glanced at it, instantly scanning a message—

[From：N449

20:23:40

How is the mission going, how is the situation of the K8 branch, you haven’t aroused suspicion, have you.]

Lu Mi was silent for a while, then looked up at him.

“He is not one of us.” Lu Mi spoke out, his face not red, his breath not short, his expression extremely calm.

Lu Mi slowly said, “It’s normal that you don’t remember them, because they are all undercover, very low-key usually. I saw through their identities early on and deliberately let you deal with them. Now it seems that you have done very well, you have not been exposed so far.”

Gaudi was excited, on the one hand, he was very happy to be praised, on the other hand, he felt worried, “So, they are all potential threats to the Lord, they should be dealt with as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry, they still have uses, besides, I already have a plan.” Lu Mi returned the terminal to him.

Gaudi posed a posture of listening attentively, “What should I do?”

Lu Mi glanced at him, “Continue to stabilize them, just like you did before. Then, tell them you need help, let them send another person over.”

Those who are smart and have good brains, the K8 branch will welcome their arrival.

Gaudi immediately said there was no problem, and that he would go back and “communicate” with them enthusiastically.

When Gaudi left with full enthusiasm, Alonfus emerged from the shadow.

Lu Mi told him to still follow the plan, first investigate the abyss rift, and then waved his hand to indicate that he could leave if there was nothing else.

Early to bed and early to rise is a good habit for health.

The demon retreated while casting a lingering gaze at the young man under the light.

Those pair of silver eyes were even more transparent and dazzling under the flickering light, like a divine creation, piercing all the fog, and taking control of everything.

What an incomparable wisdom!

The demon was greatly shocked in his heart, the shock at this moment was beyond words!

He followed the Master day by day, but he had no idea when the Master had bought such a human and had already infiltrated the enemy!
