Chapter 345 Looking at Him Deeply

The villa was beautifully decorated in a classical style. He looked around in surprise, and everything here was very different from the world he was familiar with.

"Where is this?" Su Chen whispered to himself, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. He stood up, patted the dust off his body, and tried to find some clues.

Suddenly, the door of the villa slowly opened, and a well-dressed servant came out. When he saw Su Chen, he showed a surprised expression: "Sir, you are back? Count Roland and other noble guests are waiting for you."

Su Chen didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only nod slightly and follow the servant into the villa. In the hall, several nobles in gorgeous clothes were sitting together. When they saw Su Chen coming in, they all stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Su Chen, you are finally back." One of the tall men said with a smile, his voice was deep and powerful, and his manners were elegant.

Su Chen forced a smile, but his heart was filled with doubts. He didn't know these people at all, and he didn't know why he was here. It seemed that these people were obviously familiar with him, but he had no idea.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Su Chen." Another woman in a purple dress said softly, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

Su Chen sat down on the chair opposite them, trying to stay calm. He had to figure out his situation, but he couldn't appear too abrupt. So he asked tentatively, "Count Roland, how are the things you mentioned going?"

Count Roland nodded, a trace of seriousness on his face: "Some changes have indeed taken place recently, and we need your opinions and decisions."

Su Chen's heart tightened, realizing that this seemed to be a critical moment. He had to adapt to the situation in order not to reveal his identity. He tried to speak in a steady tone and said, "Please tell me in detail, I will do my best to help."

Count Roland nodded slightly and began to describe recent events in detail. Su Chen listened carefully and tried to capture useful information from it. Although he was unfamiliar with many details, he understood that only by communicating with these people could he gradually understand his situation.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a young servant ran in breathlessly: "Count, someone outside wants to see you, saying that he has urgent news."

Count Roland frowned and motioned the servant to bring the man in. Soon, a ragged man with an anxious face walked into the hall, his eyes flashing with fear and anxiety.

"Please forgive my intrusion," the man bowed hastily, "but I must inform you that a powerful evil force is approaching, and the whole city is in panic."

Su Chen's heart was shocked, and he secretly clenched his fists. He felt vaguely that this news was related to the space-time rift he had experienced not long ago, and perhaps this was the key to solving the mystery.

"Evil power?" Count Roland frowned and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

The man trembled as he answered, "It is said that they are creatures from another world. They have terrible power and can destroy everything easily. Many people have fled their homes. We need to take action immediately."

After hearing this, Su Chen became even more anxious. He had to find a way to stop these creatures, and at the same time, he had to figure out why he appeared in this world. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Count Roland: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must formulate a response strategy as soon as possible."

Count Roland nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Mr. Su Chen is right, we need to organize a defense force immediately and send people to investigate the origins and weaknesses of these creatures."

The other nobles in the hall also nodded in agreement, and they soon began a heated discussion and formulated various response plans. Su Chen listened quietly at the side, constantly thinking about the next action in his mind.

Just as the discussion reached its climax, a mysterious man in a black cloak suddenly appeared in the shadows of the hall, his face covered, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Mr. Su Chen," the mysterious man said in a low voice, "I know the answer you want."

Su Chen's heart trembled, and he stared at the person who came: "Who are you?"

“It doesn’t matter who I am,” the mysterious man said slowly. “What’s important is that I can lead you to find the source of those creatures and answer the questions in your mind.”

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Count Roland and other nobles were surprised, but they knew that Su Chen's decisions were always well thought out, so they didn't say anything more.

Su Chen followed the mysterious man out of the villa. The city seemed particularly quiet under the night sky. They passed through several alleys and came to a secret underground passage. The passage was filled with a damp smell, and the walls were covered with moss and spider webs.

"Where are we going?" Su Chen asked in a low voice.

"Go see someone," the mysterious man replied, "who can answer all your questions."

Su Chen was filled with doubts and expectations. He followed the mysterious man, through the winding passage, and finally came to an ancient wooden door. The mysterious man knocked on the door, and after a while, the door slowly opened, and an old man in a robe and with white hair appeared at the door.

"Welcome, Mr. Su Chen," the old man said with a smile, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Su Chen felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if this old man had appeared in his memory at some point. But he tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything.

"Please come in," the old man made an inviting gesture, "we have a lot to discuss."

Su Chen followed the old man into the room and found it filled with all kinds of ancient books and mysterious instruments. The old man motioned him to sit down, and he sat on the chair opposite, crossed his hands, and looked at him deeply.

"You come from another world, right?" the old man said slowly.

Su Chen nodded, his mind full of questions: "How do you know?"

The old man smiled and said, "Because I also came from another world, our destinies were destined to meet here."

Su Chen opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Then can you tell me, what exactly happened in this world? What are those evil creatures?"

The old man nodded and began to tell an ancient legend. It turned out that this world was once a peaceful and prosperous paradise, but an unexpected space-time rift opened a passage to another world, and evil creatures poured in through the rift, trying to conquer and destroy this world. The appearance of Su Chen was not accidental, but destiny, and he was destined to be the key to preventing this catastrophe.
