Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Inquiry into the Immortal and the Yellow Springs (Part 1)
“It is now eight o’clock in the morning, air quality is good, overcast turning to light rain, not suitable for going out…”
The voice, sounding like a child’s, flowed through the room. The person on the bed sat up slowly, glanced at the robot standing on the table next to her, and covered her eyes.
Back again.
“Good morning, master.” The robot tilted its head on the table and greeted her.
“Morning.” Chuzheng seed to be lacking energy.
“Master, do you feel unwell? Do you need to check you?” The robot asked considerately.
“I’m fine.”
“…” The robot seed a little disappointed.
Chuzheng checked the ti and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
“How long did I sleep?”
The robot accurately reported the ti: “Eight hours, twenty-five minutes, forty-six seconds.”
Chuzheng: “…”
Was it just one night?
[Miss, to make it easier for you to complete the task and not delay your matters here, I’ve made so subtle adjustnts.]
“Who!” The robot picked up a small carving knife from the table and pointed it at the void: “Master, why does this voice sound familiar?”
Chuzheng ignored the robot and carefully replayed the King’s Account’s sentence again.
The King’s Account can actually control the flow of ti…
What exactly is it?
Is it an intelligence from the ga?
Could it be a spawned intelligence from the Fanxing ga that has hijacked the entire ga…
This is a bit scary.
Knock knock—
Soone was knocking downstairs.
i Ji, dressed in pink from head to toe, held her long-eared bunny, standing obediently at the door. As soon as she saw Chuzheng co out, she raised one of the rabbit’s ears: “Soone died.”
Chuzheng: “…”
Tell this first thing in the morning!
“Master, the successor SU222 has awakened, please proceed to sign the contract as soon as possible.”
The robot appeared behind her at so unknown ti, its glass-like eyes staring straight at her.
Chuzheng frowned.
The Spiritual Awakeners employed at Wenxian Road are few. A new Spiritual Awakener only awakens after the previous one dies or retires.
And those awakeners are all registered under SUXXX here with Chuzheng, which translated to full na—Supervisor.
No need to introduce what they supervise.
Chuzheng gestured for i Ji to enter, and i Ji obediently followed her in while holding the rabbit.
“Who died?”
“Wan Fei. He was found dead outside Wenxian Road this morning, his heart missing, no other wounds on his body. He left Wenxian Road last night, it’s currently impossible to find where he went, he reappeared here afterward.”
i Ji pinched the rabbit’s ear, and a holographic image projected into the air.
In the image, the man was hanging outside Wenxian Road. Because of its remote location, he was first discovered by people from Wenxian Road and brought directly inside.
The heart area of the man was hollow, blood was dripping, as if soone’s heart was forcibly ripped out.
Spiritual Awakeners are unique, ordinary injuries, as long as they haven’t died, can be treated by bringing them back to Wenxian Road.
But his heart is gone…
He’s dead beyond saving, and even Chuzheng is powerless.
The other party seems to know this place quite well.
A warning maybe…
Last ti, an unknown creature was sent in to monitor Wenxian Road, now they’ve upgraded directly to warnings.
Chuzheng’s eyes turned icy.
“Sort out Wan Fei’s funeral, tell group 13 to clean up, I’m going to et his next successor. Also thoroughly investigate where Wan Fei went last night, tell those who know to keep their mouths shut. Be careful when going out recently, report any abnormalities imdiately, and don’t act alone.”
If the other party kills a person just to warn her not to ddle, then the chances of them striking again are low.
But other possibilities can’t be ruled out, so Chuzheng still gave instructions.
i Ji nodded obediently, held the long-eared bunny, and left.
Chuzheng went upstairs, walked to the bedside, bent down to get sothing. Before she could grab it, she first saw a paper figure lying under the bed, eerily grinning at her.
Chuzheng: “…”
Chuzheng roughly pulled the paper figure out, dragged a box from underneath.
It was a box woven from vines, looking sowhat worn out and anyti might et its end.
This kind of box can’t be found these days.
In this mont, the paper figure was already standing at the doorway, craning its neck at a hundred eighty degrees looking at her.
Chuzheng tossed the box aside: “Scram!”
Chuzheng aggressively opened the box, glanced at the door, the paper figure was gone, the robot was climbing up with its short little legs, huffing and puffing.
The vine-woven box that seed to be on the verge of falling apart, continued to stand firm against such rough treatnt, and, when opened, held nothing but a stack of contracts inside.
Similar to the one signed with Hu Shuo last ti.
But sowhat different.
The paper of the contract looked very ancient, each contract having a silver stamp, silver not completely accurate, as faint red light flowed within. This stamp seed almost alive.
The pattern of the stamp felt like wild calligraphy embedded together, outsiders couldn’t tell what it was, but Chuzheng knew — Yellow Springs Road, all life.
This stamp was not on the one signed with Hu Shuo.
Chuzheng flipped through the contracts and found the one signed by Wan Fei.
This one didn’t have a silver stamp—or to be accurate, it once had but now has disappeared because Wan Fei is dead.
Just during the mont Chuzheng held the contract, Wan Fei’s signature began to fade, almost to disappear.
Wan Fei’s na completely disappeared, and about three seconds later, faint writing slowly erged, from faint to dense, ending with the na, which seed to have never changed, quietly lying there.
Chuzheng’s gaze fell on that na—Xing Qiao.
Xing…
This surna is not commonly seen in Jingnan City.
“File.”
Robot’s short legs climbed up the steps, before it even had a chance to catch its breath, Chuzheng ordered again, discontentedly humming a sound: “Retrieving Xing Qiao’s file…”
Na: Xing Qiao
Age: 8
Gender: Male
…
A bunch of chaotic data in between, even the ti of kindergarten enrollnt was recorded.
Chuzheng didn’t bother to look, slid directly to the bottom.
…
Address: No. 39 Baiting Road, Xizhou District, Jingnan City.
Real-ti location address: Xing Family Estate, Snow Treading Road, Yuntai District, Jingnan City.
Seeing Xing Family Estate, Chuzheng has already determined this Xing Qiao has a connection with her current employer.
A few photos were included at the end.
The little boy was dressed in a tailcoat, looking at the cara, his white and cute face expressionless, extrely cool.
The later ones were all candid shots.
All photos only had him alone, even with a crowd, they were far away from him, solitary figure, like abandoned by the world.
Chuzheng found him sowhat familiar, but couldn’t recall where she’d seen him.
“When did my mory get so bad.” Chuzheng self-doubted for a mont, soon let it pass.
Real-ti location isn’t available for everyone, but because the contract already listed Xing Qiao, she could locate the new supervisor’s position.
Of course, if Xing Qiao is unwilling, his na would disappear from the contract, then the na of the next candidate would appear until soone is willing to sign the contract.
Chuzheng wasn’t surprised at all by the age of eight, younger ones had co here too, poster figure — i Ji.
