561 Its Your Turn (1/2)

Polio felt something calling him at the construction site. It was a familiar call, and it was as though he had encountered it thousands of years ago.

He bent his body and tiptoed towards the construction site. Many gamers and construction workers were working diligently, but they didn't see Polio, who used Mana to make himself invisible. The gamers weren't powerful enough to see the invisible Polio.

Polio was one of the 72 Devils of the great Michelangelo.

Though Polio was unable to defeat Lord Sherlock, it didn't mean that he was incapable.

His instincts told him that he was very close to discovering the truth.

Perhaps Lord Sherlock was correct, and the construction site wasn't as simple as it looked.

Polio walked towards the deep pit of the construction site.

…

On the second day.

”Are Phoenix and Polio still missing?” Eggface asked the gamers as he stood at the boundary of the construction site.

That morning, Lord Sherlock gave him a mission to find the missing Phoenix and Polio, who had been missing for two days.

It was strange. Since Phoenix and Polio carried out Sherlock's order, they hadn't returned to Eternal Kingdom. There was news of them previously, but they vanished yesterday. Lord Sherlock discovered that they were missing in the morning and relayed the news to Eggface.

Eggface sympathized with them, but he didn't want to go to the construction site because he had many things to do, like playing computer games.

However, it was Lord Sherlock's order, so he couldn't decline. When Eggface arrived at the construction site, he started to work.

First, he gathered the gamers.

Though the gamers were long-winded, to Eggface, they were his capable assistants.

Especially when faced with such a situation.

The gamers at the construction site started to help Eggface look for Polio and Phoenix. For gamers who couldn't enter the construction site, they used their own ways to look for the missing pets. Though the gamers weren't sure how important the pets were to Sherlock, since Eggface was deployed to look for them, they must be significant to Lord Sherlock.

”Could they have fled?”

In the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, Frangipani asked Lord Sherlock doubtfully.

”Lord Sherlock, I heard more than once that they wanted to betray Lord Sherlock.”

After Phoenix and Polio vanished from the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, Frangipani became talkative.

Sherlock wasn't bothered. He hugged his arms and pondered over Frangipani's words. Then he nodded.

”They could have indeed fled, but I'm inclined towards another possibility.”
