There are stars in the sky and water on the ground. But this place had a locust tree gathering yin energy, surrounded by buildings, and over time, remnant souls gathered, being continuously illuminated by the Celestial Wolf Star’s light, forming a soul body. Sun Yue had coincidentally made her wish under this locust tree, which is why her wish came true.
Xia Jianning opened a transparent small bottle and collected the dark soul body, saying: “Let’s go back.”
When he said this, he was looking at Luo Yingbai, who paused and nodded.
Xia Jianning imperceptibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The group returned home. The car passed through the streets for about twenty minutes. At the end of the road was a quiet courtyard surrounded by ivy. In the dim light of the street lamp, one could see the stone wall outside the gate was engraved with the words “National Armed Special Investigation Bureau.”
Beyond the stone wall was another world.
Chapter 12: Mua
Inside the courtyard were several red-walled and black-tiled office buildings, exquisite like villas in a wealthy district. But once inside, the entire scene changed dramatically.
Near midnight, people in various bizarre costumes moved back and forth. The ceiling was filled with transforming white clouds and star formations, day and night coexisting. The walls were painted with lifelike ancient demons and monsters, seeming to burst forth.
People hurried about, conversing. Some greeted Xia Jianning’s group as they entered, and were surprised and delighted to see Luo Yingbai. However, it was the busiest time at the Special Investigation Bureau, and with the “Ice Mountain” Xia Jianning nearby, everyone had little time for chitchat.
Luo Yingbai greeted everyone with a smile and followed Xia Jianning into the elevator, casually asking: “Jianning, where’s my dad?”
Xia Jianning replied: “Teacher is on vacation, taking his wife abroad for medical treatment…”
Before he could finish, Luo Yingbai grabbed him. Xia Jianning was puzzled and turned to look: “Hm?”
In that instant, Luo Yingbai almost thought he was mishearing. He stammered: “You… what did you say? My mom?”
Xia Jianning saw his strange expression and was worried, supporting Luo Yingbai: “What’s wrong?”
Luo Yingbai gripped his hand and suddenly looked up: “Jianning, what did you say about my mom? Where is she?”
