Chapter 93: Afraid of Being Loved, Yet Afraid of Having No One to Love!

Tang Fei charged into the depths of the reed bed with the Xiu Xue Blade in hand, only to find it eerily empty; the Mechanic who had controlled the great snake had vanished without a trace.

"What does this mean?"

Tang Fei wondered in his mind.

"Another assessment from the Mechanical Department?"

But he had already registered and become a formal student of the Mechanical Department; what was the point of another assessment?

If it was not an assessment from the Mechanical Department, who else would use mechanical means to kill?

Tang Fei crouched down to check the area and found freshly crushed reeds with new cuts still oozing fresh juice.

The moist and loose soil by the lakeside bore human footprints. Tang Fei measured them with his fingers; the footprints were quite large...

Tang Fei wanted to find traces of the Mechanic's departure but soon realized there was nowhere to begin.

There were no footprints from fleeing.
