During the meal, Zhang Yuanyin recounted the murder and his adventures over the past few days, which made his aunt gasp in surprise, while his usually composed grandmother showed a relieved smile.

"Yuanzi, you really didn't let your grandma down. Keep it up, don't let your guard down, and be careful."

"Okay, Grandma."

Boom boom boom!

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"I'll open the door."

Zhang Yuan put down his chopsticks and went to open the door, only to see Li Anping standing there, looking anxious.

"Manager Li? What brings you here?"

"Zhang Yuan, there's been a murder in the north of the city, did you know?"

Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to know nothing and asked with a puzzled look, "What murder case has occurred?"

Li Anping said solemnly, "Two combat professionals died in the wilderness north of the city. One of the deceased was named Wang Hu, the youngest son of the Wang family of West Lake, and apparently your classmate."

"Now the Adventurers' Guild, the police superintendent, and the city defense forces have all sent people over there."

"It's just a murder case, why has it involved so many departments? And even if the deceased was my classmate, Manager Li, you didn't need to come all the way to notify me, did you?"

Although Zhang Yuan had made the necessary preparations, he was still somewhat alarmed when he discovered that things were not going as he had expected.

"It's necessary! Absolutely necessary!"

Li Anping said seriously, "After forensic examination, Wang Hu died from a powerful mental skill. At the same time, there was also extremely terrifying mental energy left at the scene. We suspect that the Abyss boss Odis was responsible."

Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Odis?"

“That’s right! It’s the Abyss boss you defeated.” Li Anping nodded. “Among the two dead, one of them was a level 48 water mage. He had no external wounds and was killed instantly by a mental skill. Only a high-level mental mage can do that.”

"And currently, in West Lake City, only Odis fits this murder criterion!"

"That Odis is definitely not satisfied yet. He keeps roaming around West Lake City, eliminating talented young people. Zhang Yuan, you have defeated him before. He will definitely come back. Be careful!"

Zhang Yuan was surprised that it was Odis who had taken the blame for him, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He then thanked her, saying, "Thank you! I didn't expect Manager Li to come all the way to remind me of this. I will be careful."

Li Anping added, "Because of Odis, the government has blocked all the dungeons near West Lake City. Our Adventurers' Guild will screen each dungeon to prevent the dungeons from becoming abyssal. There are no places to level up in the wild recently, so you'd better stay at home."

"West Lake City has a protective formation, so Odis can't get in. You're safe as long as you stay in the city."

"understood."

After giving Zhang Yuan his instructions, Li Anping hurriedly left.

Wang Hu's death was a major event in West Lake City, and the fact that it was related to the Abyss boss Odis meant that Li Anping, as the manager of the West Lake City branch of the Adventurers' Association, had a lot of things to deal with.

"Yuanzi, what happened?" Zhang Yuan's grandmother asked with concern after seeing Li Anping off.

Zhang Yuan replied, "An abyss boss killed my classmate, and Manager Li from the Adventurers' Guild came specifically to warn me to be careful."

My aunt complained, "That abyss boss is really wicked; it doesn't even spare students."

“Yes! That’s really bad!” Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement. “That abyss boss has been hunting down our human geniuses. Luckily, I was more skilled and managed to defeat him in the dungeon, otherwise I would have been killed too.”

My aunt looked terrified: "I didn't know combat professions were so dangerous. You actually have to face those terrifying guys. Suddenly I'm not envious of you, Yuanzi anymore."

Grandma looked grave and instructed Zhang Yuan, "Yuanzi, although you have defeated the Abyss boss, those monsters are inherently cruel and cunning. Your parents both perished in the Abyss. You must not be careless when facing the Abyss, understand?"
