From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 261 - 213: Unexpected Conscript_2

However, the probability of being summoned was influenced by many factors.

The number of Superpower Users who had been summoned globally is estimated to have reached tens of millions.

But this was the first time that species from other worlds had been summoned to Blue Star.

This was because the summoning to the Abyss Battlefield represented support between civilizations.

Currently, Blue Star has only been under Abyss invasion for ten months; compared to other worlds devoured by the Abyss, the survival conditions on Blue Star weren't as dire, and naturally, it didn't need as much support.

Therefore, the number of Otherworldly Races summoned to Blue Star was still not many.

If humans were ever on the brink of extinction, then a larger number of Otherworldly Races would be summoned over.

After understanding this information, Su Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Are you saying the Bansel people have been summoned to Blue Star?"

"Correct. If this photo was taken in Edo, then the Bansel people should have been summoned there," Lu Heng started to think about what needed to be done next.

Su Muyu quickly asked, "Is there a chance that Mia was transported here too?"

Lu Heng nodded and answered, "It's possible, but we can't be certain. Stone Hammer Castle is just one branch of the Bansel Clan. It's unclear if the summoned Bansel people are from that branch.

"If the Stone Hammer Castle Bansel people were summoned, then the chances of Mia being transported here are high, as her Level is quite high.

"Typically, the higher the Level, the greater the chance of being summoned."

Su Muyu, worried about her good friend who had given her the Crossbow, potentially being on Blue Star, said, "So, what do we do? Should we help them?"

Being summoned into the Abyss Battlefield certainly entailed danger.

Like human Superpower Users when summoned, Otherworldly Races also received quests upon being summoned.

Therefore, if the Bansel people were summoned here, they would not only face Abyss Demons but also threats from humans.

If it was indeed the Stone Hammer Castle Bansel people who had been summoned, as friends, it was definitely necessary to help.

Although Lu Heng hadn't thought of a concrete plan, he replied without hesitation, "Definitely. But first, we need to find them."

...

The photo of the Bansel person that appeared on the external network, according to the uploader, was taken in Edo.

Edo was the capital of Fusang, meaning the Bansel people had been summoned to Fusang and should now be in the capital city of Edo.

Being separated by the sea, it was certainly not possible to help from afar.

Therefore, Lu Heng gathered his team and set off for Fusang.

For convenience, he obtained three new passports through Chen Linian using new identities, and under the guise of traveling, they took a flight to the capital of Fusang, Edo.

After arriving in Edo, the threesome was somewhat at a loss due to the language barrier. Fortunately, the translation software on smartphones was quite advanced, allowing for basic communication without issues.

A few hours later, Lin Zeyu spent some money to hire a translator in Edo, making communication much easier.

With the translator's help, they first sought information about the Bansel people, looking to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of the group of Dwarves.

Unfortunately, they didn't find any useful information.

In fact, the detail about the Bansel people being summoned to Blue Star was just a conclusion drawn from Lu Heng's analysis, supported by only a single photo, so it could not be confirmed for certain.

The trio picked a ramen restaurant to grab a meal, discussing their next moves as they ate.

Lin Zeyu scratched his head and asked, "Have those little dwarfs really been conscripted over? How come the people here seem like they've never seen them?"

Su Muyu spread her hands and said, "It's normal for them not to have been seen. When we were conscripted to other worlds, didn't we also try to hide?"

"Moreover, the Bansel people actually look quite similar to humans; it's just that they are a bit shorter."

"As long as they put on hoods and masks, with their height, they can easily be mistaken for human children."

Lin Zeyu picked up a pinch of seaweed and chewed it as he asked, "So how do we find them? It's no different from looking for a needle in the sea."

Lu Heng had actually thought of several strategies.

The first strategy was to guess the Bansel people's main quest and then look for them based on that quest.

Guessing the main quest was difficult but not entirely impossible.

The main quest would definitely relate to the Abyss Demon, which meant that something significant involving Abyss Demons must have happened here.

If they could find out about this event, there was a high chance of locating the conscripted Bansel people.

However, this plan was too passive.

If the demonic event didn't break out, they could only wait indefinitely.

Therefore, Lu Heng decided to use another killer tactic:

"Later we'll go to an advertising agency and buy all the advertising slots on the outdoor big screens throughout Edo, looping a message."

Upon hearing this method, Lin Zeyu felt it was promising, "Broadcasting a missing person notice, right?"

Broadcasting a missing person notice was indeed the most direct, but it was too strange and might attract the attention of others.

Su Muyu thought for a moment and then said, "The message will say, 'Thanks to Mia for the gift of the crossbow,' and then leave a mobile number in the Bansel Clan's script."

Hearing her suggestion, Lu Heng agreed, "That's good."

After finishing their ramen, the three of them set out to find an advertising agency, spending money to rent out the large screens in multiple outdoor plazas.

They started looping the message: "Thanks to Mia for the gift of the crossbow, your friend."

Then they added a string of Bansel numeric characters.

Next was the waiting game.

...

A few hours later.

In an uninhabited house in the Edo suburbs.

Bansel scout Hake ran back from outside, excitedly shouting, "Leader, I saw Mia... Mia..."

A bearded Bansel leader, upon hearing the name mentioned by his tribesman, instantly became agitated, "You found Mia?"

The Bansel leader was none other than the Iron Arm Leader.

The moment he heard his daughter's name, Iron Arm Leader was stirred, grabbing Hake's arms and nearly dislocating both in his urgent questioning.

"No...not that... I saw Mia's name," Hake quickly clarified.

"Mia's name? Is it a secret code Mia left for us?" Anxiety clouded Iron Arm Leader, as Mia had gone out looking for food two days earlier and hadn't returned.

He feared his daughter had been captured by Demons.

If it was by Demons, that was manageable—hammers would do the job.

He was more worried that she had been captured by humans.

He was not unfamiliar with humans; his Stone Hammer Castle had once benefited from a human benefactor.

Stone Hammer Castle's long-lost Quenching technique had also been passed down to them by this benefactor.

So, when they had just been transported here and saw many humans, their reaction was quite friendly, and they even wanted to approach for a chat.

But what met them was pursuit and capture.

Fortunately, they had managed to escape, but then a few days ago, Mia had gone out in search of food and not returned.

Using the best words he could muster, Hake described what he saw: "I came to a place full of people, on the wall were glowing words, saying: 'Thanks to Mia for the gift of the crossbow.' And then there were a string of numbers; I don't know what they meant."
