Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Seeing Gu Fan and his friends were full of fighting spirit, eager to set off as soon as possible, Irina quickly interjected, "Wait a minute, don’t rush. It’s true that with your abilities, entering Dark City isn’t difficult, but the problem is, once you’re inside, what then? We know nothing about the city. Where do you plan to start searching for your companions?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan scratched his head and then said, "I can’t think of any plan either, so let’s just play it by ear."

Irina was almost faint with frustration, "What do you mean ’play it by ear’? Please, we are dealing with Organization X here, how can we proceed without any plan?"

"Well then, if you have any plans, feel free to discuss them with us." Gu Fan looked forward to it, but then heard Irina’s very irresponsible reply, "I’m sorry, I don’t have a plan either. However, we can still discuss."

Su Hui chimed in, "We need to find someone who is familiar with Dark City, and preferably someone on our side."

"That’s right, we do need a guide," Gu Fan said and, as this word left his lips, a sudden spark of inspiration struck him—and Lu Yi, Su Hui, and Lin Xi seemed to have thought of something too, their expressions changing noticeably.

Seeing them like this, Irina asked curiously, "What’s happening? Why do your expressions change when you mention a guide, as if awaiting something interesting?"

"Correctly speaking, we are waiting for someone," Lin Xi said.

"Who?" Irina was eager to learn what kind of person could kindle hope in Gu Fan and the others.
