Hu Mei struck a runic seal on a ruined building not far away. The gravel fell to the ground with a shattering sound. However, it was still quiet behind the ruined building.
Hu Mei frowned and dashed up to the ruins. She saw a woman's corpse there. She was dressed in black and her eyes were wide open. It was obvious that she had died with grievances.
"Boss, Dark Night is dead." Hu Mei went forward to check. His heart had been stabbed from the back. He must have been assassinated by someone familiar. He didn't expect that the person who was the best at hiding and assassination among the 12 pillars would actually be assassinated one day. How ironic!
"His soul is scattered, and his methods are clean and neat. This person is not only ruthless, but he should also have undergone strict training.”Lu Linjie concluded after checking his wound.
"When I was following them, I sensed two soul fluctuations, but there was only one aura. It was likely that Dark Night was hiding in the shadows of his accomplices. But for some reason, he was killed.”Hu Mei frowned." Wang Xiao's case is very complicated. The disappearance of the human pillar in District 10 seems to have been premeditated. Our problem can only be solved by finding the human pillar in District 10.”
Yin Mubai followed the spatial hole and walked out, but he suddenly felt a huge energy fluctuation. The energy was very mixed, but it seemed very familiar. He closed his eyes and wanted to distinguish it carefully, but a series of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts.
Li Wenhua, who had fled in a hurry after killing the Dark Night, did not expect to be so unlucky as to encounter the Yin Envoy of the Underworld. He stopped and hid his bloodstained left hand behind him. Looking at the expressionless Yin Mubai in front of him, who was dressed in a white ancient costume, he forced a smile.
"Greetings, Lord Yin Emissary. I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm the person in charge of the 10th District. May I ask if you're here for a check-up because of the energy fluctuation just now?”
Yin Mubai lowered his eyes and glanced at the trembling ant in front of him. The hand he hid behind his back was still stained with the fresh smell of blood. It was really curious that an ant who had just killed someone could still be so calm when he saw him.
"What just happened over there?”Yin Mubai was not in a hurry and continued to tease the ant in front of him.
Hearing Yin Mubai talking to him, Li Wenhua could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. He shook his hand and held back his trembling. He lowered his eyes and said respectfully,"This subordinate received a report tonight, saying that the 10th district's people, Hime Tsuji and Miss, were kidnapped by unknown people. I followed the clues to the Laocheng District and found out that the human pillar Dark Night of District 7 had secretly released the evil spirits of the netherworld in order to obtain the Innate Pure Yang Blood. His subordinates were weak and could only kill the criminals while others were fighting.”Li Wenhua sighed and extended his left hand to show his sincerity.
Yin Mubai looked at the ant's excellent performance and sneered,""You're a human, I'm a ghost. When did you become my subordinate? Or do you really want to be my subordinate?”
Li Wenhua's entire body trembled. He couldn't help but kneel down and cry,""Sir, I am just an ordinary person. I have no value. Please be magnanimous and let me go.”
Seeing that the ant was crying so much, Yin Mubai frowned in disgust." In the future, if there's anything I need, you can come at my beck and call." I want you to tell me everything about Yangsi.”
"Yes, it's your subordinate who will die for you!" Li Wenhua knelt on the ground and kowtowed gratefully. Snot flowed into the corners of his mouth, making him even more disgusted.
"Get lost!"
Yin Mubai waved his sleeves and shook the person away. He turned around and continued to walk towards the place where the energy fluctuation had just appeared. The Laocheng District was quiet. Other than dust and ruins, there was only a half-stiff corpse on the ground.
Yin Mubai swept his gaze across the corpse. His five fingers formed a claw, and a few scattered soul fragments appeared in his hand. The memory in the fragment was limited. In the image, a golden figure was faintly discernible in the tornado of Yin Qi.
"Has it finally appeared?" Yin Mubai's eyes curved slightly, and in an instant, it was as if ice and snow had just melted.
Li Wenhua, who was covered in dust, got up from the ground. He looked embarrassed, but his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness as he looked at Yin Mubai. He hated these monsters, but he also deeply envied them. He didn't dare to die. He was afraid that his soul wasn't pure enough to become a Yin Envoy. Yet, he hated himself for not having a pure Yang body. He tried his best to climb up, but in the eyes of this group of people, he was just an insignificant ant.
Not long ago, on a secret mission, he had followed Professor Han to dig a grave. He secretly hid a diary in the grave of Wang Bailin's lover. This diary recorded Wang Bolin's lifetime of research.
He didn't expect that Wang Bolin, who had lost his lover, would really go crazy. Not only did he study the inconceivable reincarnation, but he also studied how to change a person's physique through blood transfusion. He even mentioned the relationship between the divine stone and the earth's core chaotic pool. However, perhaps his thoughts were a little chaotic at the end. As for the last part of the handwriting, the content was inexplicable and incomprehensible.
Yang Guo groggily felt a warm hand on her forehead, and a cool comfort slowly flowed through her body.
"Zhiyu, did you find anything?”A lazy male voice sounded from the side.
"Lu Linjie, I haven't seen you for many years, but you're still so annoying. Don't you Yang emissaries need evidence to do things? Just because Yang Guo is Wang Bolin's child, you suspect her. If you're so awesome, why don't you doubt yourself?”Qin Feng sat in the wheelchair and looked at Lu Linjie, who was sitting on the sofa with a look of disdain.
When the incident happened, Wang Bailin took all the responsibility and left his hometown. However, Lu Linjie had transferred to General Lin of the Military Department, and he had been doing well these past few years. The Yangsi Duo from back then was just a joke now!
Lu Linjie glanced at Qin Feng, who had a look of disdain on his face, and pursed his lips." Qin Feng, this matter is of great importance. No matter who she is, I will be suspicious. With the problem with the Earth Core Chaotic Pool, the Rebirth Pool would not be able to drag on for too long. At that time, the entire human race would cease to exist. Have you ever thought that this is fair to ordinary people?”
"Haha, fair?" Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. He pointed at himself, Hu Mei, and He Zhiyu, who was examining Yang Guo. When this world created us, did it ask if we wanted to become human pillars? Not only do we have to endure the corrosion of the Yin Yang Devouring Qi when we are alive, but our souls will also be scattered when we die. At this time, who has ever given us justice? You? Yangsi? Yin Si? The military? Back then, all of you had a pitiful face, but your mouths persuaded us to be righteous. You used the blood of our Human Pillars to build up the peace of the modern world. Who would have thought of our sacrifice!"
Lu Linjie shook hands and looked at the person lying on the bed without saying anything.
"Master, is my sister alright?" Wang Xiao's face was pale as he held onto the door frame and came in from next door. He looked at Yang Guo, who was lying motionless on the bed, with a complicated expression.
Qin Feng looked at Wang Xiao and then at Lu Linjie. His mouth opened and closed. He turned his wheelchair and walked to the bed, blocking their view.
He Zhiyu, who had been quietly checking Yang Guo's body, slowly withdrew her hand. She turned to look at the people in the room." Yang Guo's body is fine now. She's probably been eroded by too much Yin Qi. She'll be weak for a few days.”
Qin Feng heaved a sigh of relief, but Lu Linjie frowned and asked,""Sister He, are you sure there's nothing special about Yang Guo?”
He Zhiyu's phoenix eyes slanted slightly, and she looked at Lu Linjie with a cold expression." Of course!”
As He Zhiyu spoke, she quickly made a small cut on Yang Guo's hand. Dark red blood dripped down her fair fingers, no different from ordinary people's blood.
Lu Linjie looked at the blood on Yang Guo's finger and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He saw Sister He, who had just moved nimbly, gently take the cotton swab to disinfect Yang Guo's fingers. The drop of blood from before landed on the bedsheet and stained a small area.
He Zhiyu bandaged Yang Guo's wound and looked at Lu Linjie's hesitant expression. She sneered,""What's wrong? It's not enough for you to see. And you still want to drag her to Han Jianguo's laboratory for research?”
Hearing Han Jianguo's name, Lu Linjie could not help but frown." This has nothing to do with him. Our military has its own laboratory.”
"Oh! From your tone, you're going to drag her to your military laboratory and cut her open?”Qin Feng's tone is as cold as frost. His fingers moved slightly, and the wooden floor under Lu Linjie's feet was set on fire by a burst of thunder.
"Qin Feng!" He Zhiyu was so frightened that she stood up to extinguish the fire. The blood-stained bedsheet was accidentally stained with sparks, and the blood instantly turned into ashes.
Lu Linjie stood up and looked at the chaos in front of him. The veins on his forehead bulged. He gritted his teeth and shouted,"No matter what, she's still Brother Wang's daughter. I won't report her to the police." But I'll send someone to keep an eye on her 24 hours a day. If that's really the case, don't even think about protecting her!”
Lu Linjie gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
The two people in the room, who had just put on a show, looked at each other. Looking at Yang Guo on the bed, they couldn't help but frown.
Yang Guo's head was dizzy, and in her dreams, she seemed to have returned to that snowy day. The snowstorm covered the sky, the dim yellow light in the hut, and the stiff corpses on the mountain road in the distance.
Yang Guo's small figure leaned against the window, guarding a glimmer of light, waiting for a person who would never come back.
"Guo 'er, what's wrong?" Jian Luoying frowned as she looked at the person who had gotten into trouble after not seeing him for one night.
"Last night, my sister accidentally fell into the river to save me.”Wang Xiao lowered his head, his expression unknown.
" You." Jian Luoying pointed at Wang Xiao, not knowing what to say.
Jian Binfen gently stroked the hair on the corner of Yang Guo's mouth and said gently,"Yingzi, help us apply for leave from our teacher. I'll stay here to take care of her for the next few days.”
"Leave?" Jian Luoying looked at her brother." Teacher won't agree.”
"Yes, my foot is injured, so I can't go.”Jian Binfen calmly took the cup and fed Yang Guo water.
Jian Luoying's mouth twitched. She was speechless as she looked at her brother, who was lying and whose expression didn't change.
Wang Xiao, who was deep in thought, also raised his head to look at Jian Finfen, then at Yang Guo who was sleeping on the bed. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, Qin Feng and He Zhiyu, who had gone out to do some work, came in and saw Jian Binfen cleaning the living room. They were stunned. Obviously, he did not expect to meet an ordinary person here.
"May I know who you are?" Jian Binfen asked the two of them with a smile as if he was the host.
He Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly as she looked around the room quietly. She smiled and said,""We are friends of Yang Guo's father. We heard that she was injured and came to take a look. I don't know. You are?"
Jian Binfen squinted at their empty hands and politely invited them in." I am Yang Guo's boyfriend."”
"Boyfriend?" Hearing this answer, the two of them were stunned. Even Wang Xiao, who was drinking juice in the kitchen, almost spat it out.
Just as the atmosphere became awkward, a cough suddenly came from the bedroom.
Jian Binfen quickly rushed in, helped her up and leaned her against her chest, then patted her back.
"Fengji, why are you here?" Yang Guo had just woken up and was clearly very happy to see Jian Fusheng. "Where's Yingzi?"
Jian Binfen took the warm water from the table and fed it to Yang Guo. "She went to class. Year three homework is tight, and the old class doesn't allow her to take leave.”
"What about you?" Yang Guo followed Jian Binfen's hand and obediently drank a mouthful of water.
"I have an extra-cursory research project. Old Ban has approved my leave for the next few days, so I don't have to go.”
Yang Guo nodded, not doubting.
The few people who had been watching at the door for a long time finally could not help but interrupt the conversation between the two young couples.
"Yang Guo, Dad's good friend, Uncle Qin Feng and Auntie He Zhiyu are here to see you."”
Yang Guo looked at the two people beside Wang Xiao, her eyes flashing slightly, and smiled: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
Qin Feng originally had a lot of things to say, but when he looked at the only ordinary person in the room, he opened his mouth and closed it again.
Jian Binfen pursed her lips and said to Yang Guo,"You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. I'll go to the kitchen and cook some porridge for you.”
"Good!" Yang Guo was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents." I want to eat fish porridge."
Jian Binfen nodded dotingly, lightly flicking Yang Guo's forehead before getting up and leaving.
Seeing the intimate interaction between the two of them just now, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and believed Jian Binfen's words about her boyfriend just now.
However, he didn't care. He didn't even know how long it would take for him to die. Could it be that he didn't allow children to enjoy themselves while they could?
"Hello, Cherry. We are friends of your father." He Zhiyu pushed Qin Feng's wheelchair closer to the bed.
Yang Guo's fingers, which were hidden under the blanket, moved. Her fingers under the band-aid were smooth and fair, without any wounds. On the other hand, He Zhiyu's left ring finger had an inconspicuous wound.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. Thank you for coming to see me."
"There's no need to stand on ceremony here." Qin Feng waved his hand and said to Yang Guo: "Cherry, we won't hide it from you. I'm Qin Feng, the pillar of people in District 1, and she's He Zhiyu, the pillar of people in District 3. Your father was a great help to our Human Pillar. I once swore to repay his kindness. I didn't expect that when I had the ability, he was already gone.”
"My condolences, Uncle Qin." Yang Guo faintly consoled, her tone not too sad.
Qin Feng knew the grudge between the father and daughter from his investigation. He did not say much and only asked,"Cherry, I want to take you as my disciple. Do you agree?"
"What?" This time, Yang Guo was really surprised. She looked at Qin Feng and said with a serious face,"Uncle Qin, my constitution has been very poor since I was young. Can I really cultivate now?"
"Give me your hand."
Qin Feng stretched out his hand to meet Yang Guo's five fingers. He closed his eyes and led Yang Guo slowly to the position of his dantian. Now, there was a pool there, and there was a red stone lying quietly in the pool.
"This is?" Yang Guo opened her eyes and asked curiously.
"This is your origin and your energy. That God's Stone was the key to opening the seal.”Qin Feng and He Zhiyu looked at each other and indeed saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
"Yang Guo, your future path will be very difficult. Don't let anyone find out your secret, and don't trust anyone.”He Zhiyu said. She glanced at Wang Xiao, who was listening to their conversation silently.
"The human pillar in District 10, Ji Meihe's ability is mind-reading. She could read other people's thoughts through contact and even read their inner memories. Her disappearance that night was very strange, and at the same time, something happened to the chairman of the Duan Ji Group. We suspect that she played a role in this matter, but we have no evidence.”Qin Feng said.
Hearing Ji Meihe's mind-reading ability, Wang Xiao frowned and couldn't help but touch his hand that was grabbed the other day.
Yang Guo glanced at Wang Xiao and changed the topic: "Master, don't worry. She didn't touch me. I'll be careful in the future."
Hearing Yang Guo call him master, the serious Qin Feng couldn't help but ease his expression. "Take this." Qin Feng took out a purple crystal from his bosom.
Yang Guo took it and looked at the crystal. It was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
"This was found near the Laocheng District. It should belong to the water ghost. Keep it and slowly refine it into your own weapon.”
Yang Guo looked at Wang Xiao, who was staring at the crystal without blinking.”
Wang Xiao blinked, looking at the crystal in front of him, then at Yang Guo's clear eyes. "You don't blame me?" she asked, choking up.”
"Little wimp, what do I blame you for? Do you blame yourself for being a hero and saving the damsel in distress?”Yang Guo smiled and stretched out her hand. She wanted to touch the child's hair, but after a moment, she pinched the child's nose. "You have to cultivate well in the future. I'll leave your sister's safety to you.”
Wang Xiao felt the rare gentleness of the woman in front of him. He blinked and pushed the crystal in his hand back. He took out a purple sword pendant from his clothes.
"You don't have to. I have my own. It was left behind by Wang Bailin. I haven't completely refined it.”The child looked at Yang Guo with a bit of apprehension in his eyes. When he saw Yang Guo arrive, he allowed the water ghost to drag him down. He just wanted to kill Yang Guo. As long as she did not die in his hands, the Pulling Strings Gu planted by Wang Bailin would no longer be effective! He didn't want to be a puppet. He wanted revenge. But…
"Cherry, don't keep thinking about others. Perhaps he had some kind of amulet.”He Zhiyu stuffed the crystal into Yang Guo's arms. He sat beside her and gave her a detailed explanation of the refinement of jingshi.
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and walked out of the room.
"Are you done?" Jian Binfen asked from the kitchen.
"No, I'm going out for a while." Wang Xiao picked up his bag from the chair and prepared to leave.
"Where are you going? Have you told your sister?" Jian Binfen tasted it and continued to stir.
"I'm going to the city center. There's a physical education class in school tomorrow. I want to buy a pair of new shoes. I didn't tell her. If she asks, tell her I'll be back soon.”Wang Xiao said as he put on his shoes.
"Then come back early. I have some money in my bag. You can take a taxi to go faster.”Jian Binfen pointed at the school bag hanging on the hook at the door.
