Aoba Office

I'm waiting for my parents' answer.

This wait shouldn't be long, but I just feel like one second has been stretched to a year.

My heartbeat also increased rapidly during this short period of time.

In this short period of time, I also saw subtle changes in the expressions of the two people.

I know my parents and they know me.

At this moment, our eyes met and we understood each other's thoughts.

I waited quietly, but my heartbeat had completely returned to normal and I became extremely calm.

"Just once. After we moved, changed jobs, and changed phone numbers, we lost contact again." Dad shook his head.

It's exactly what I thought.

However, this is not what I want to see.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I exposed my abilities by calling the police when I was a kid. Ye Qing came to visit me, but found that my age and mental state at that time were not suitable for direct cultivation. My parents would not agree with him doing this.

He chose to watch from a distance, quietly monitoring me and preparing for everything that would follow without our family knowing.

"Okay, let's go eat." Dad changed his tone and pulled my arm.

I stood up and looked at the backs of the two people walking in front, and my heart became heavy again.

I still haven't asked the key question I want to ask. They didn't tell everything.

They didn't even ask about my experience over the past year, let alone Ye Qing's affairs.

This is still an avoidant attitude.

The stone weighing on my heart did not lighten because of this conversation, but instead became heavier.

Maybe... maybe when I was a child, some of my parents' brothers and sisters actually died because of me.

Maybe it was the uncle who was still resentful when they mentioned it. Maybe it's because he caused everything and he died because of me. They never told us siblings about him. When I mention him now, I still have emotions, but I can control them quickly.

Or maybe, it's someone else. As a result, the uncle refused to give up and made things extremely complicated. They had to move and escape with me.

Just like what Nangong Yao experienced. He caused the death of his relatives, and other relatives feared and hated him.

I took a step forward and followed my parents, not knowing whether I should continue to ask.

Intellectually, I should ask. Now that you've spoken, it's time to get to the bottom of it. Emotionally speaking, I don't want to ask any more questions. It has already caused them pain by asking them to recall the past. To find the source of that pain again is cruel. What's more, even if we knew what happened to me when I was a child, it would be difficult to say that it would have any practical significance for the current situation.

No matter what happens, what happens happens.

Those ghost kings, with the various methods I have discovered now, can spread their tentacles all over society now, so back then, they probably had nearly equal power and could monitor everyone and discover people with abilities.

You can go one step further, like Ye Qing, and plan your plans more than ten years in advance.

Taking into account the age difference between the Ghost King and Ye Qing, and considering the time when the Ghost King appeared, the layout of the Ghost King in the future world has probably lasted for thousands of years.

No, this should be said to be God’s layout for the future world.

I know that there are very few things I can do now. Apart from the plan Ye Qing provided me, I have no other way to change the entire world.

After I went downstairs and walked to the street, my parents looked at me, waiting for me to decide what to have for dinner.

I was about to speak when my phone rang.

The caller was from an unknown number.

I frowned, thinking it might be some ghost king, but I wasn't afraid.

There is no need to be afraid or vigilant about this kind of thing.

I picked up the phone directly.

"Hello, are you Lin Qi, Mr. Lin?"

"Yes."

"We are the Yihe District Police Station. There is a case here, and I would like you to come to the station to answer a few questions. The case at the Dream Weaver Shop." The person on the other end of the phone said.

I didn't answer right away. I kept thinking, and then asked, "Now?"

"Yes, now. You are not at home now, are you? We found out that the building where you live caught fire, and everyone in your family should have been evacuated. They stayed in a nearby hotel before."

They found out my identity and movements, but they didn’t come to me directly...

The surveillance video in the store must have been taken away by the police, and they have also viewed it...

"Well, that's it. I understand, I'll come over now." I agreed.

After hanging up the phone, I said apologetically to my parents: "I have something to do..." I hesitated a little and told them truthfully where I was going, "The police came to ask me about something..."

Before I finished speaking, my parents became worried.

Mom blurted out and asked, "Is it the one upstairs?"

"No, it's not that matter." I shook my head, "That matter... may come to me later."

I left the community with Xu Tiancheng.

Even if no remains of a body are found in the house, a fire and missing people in the community will attract the attention of the police. It was not difficult to find out that Aunt Xiao Wang had her biological son Xu Tiancheng at home, and then found out that Xu Tiancheng and I left the community together and came back alone. Shortly thereafter, the house was on fire.

Furthermore, it is not difficult to discover that the supernatural events that occurred in the Dream Weaver's shop and the strange fire happened almost at the same time.

I must be found.

But this time, Chen Yihan couldn't help me.

Chen Yihan was skipped over this matter, and the police from Yihe District Branch called him, which was already a sign.

Chen Yihan's phone call was not a random guess caused by his excessive worry. His rights as director may have been completely lost.

I told my parents not to worry, they seemed calm.

I waved my hand and wanted to go to the intersection to take a taxi.

As if I felt something in my heart, before I got into the taxi, I turned around and took a look.

The two of them were still standing at the door of the hotel. From such a distance, they couldn't be seen clearly.

Mom waved and stood side by side with Dad. Dad held Mom's shoulders and didn't move much.

"Sir, would you like to get in the car?" the driver urged.

I came to my senses, got in the car, and reported my address.

The driver heard the police station and looked at me a little.

I focused most of my attention on the rearview mirror.

You can't see your parents in the rearview mirror.

I withdrew my gaze and was in a daze for a while before I remembered to call the thin man.

Not surprisingly, he also received a call from the Yihe District Branch, and he was on the same page as me.

As soon as I hung up the call with the thin man, my phone rang.

This time it was Guo Yujie who called.

She was called by the police station where our unit was located.

Chen Xiaoqiu also received the same call later.

"...I can't contact my brother-in-law..." Chen Xiaoqiu said a little more, his voice low and a little worried.

There was nothing I could do to comfort her.

Chen Yihan is actually a person with abilities, but his abilities are very limited. Judging from the clues obtained before, his ability can only be used at crime scenes where ghosts kill living people, which is somewhat similar to the ability of Li Xingfang, the policeman.

He behaved unusually in front of his colleagues.

He also helped us inquire about the expert database many times.

He may be being questioned now, one step ahead of us...

Chen Xiaoqiu and I kept talking on the phone in silence for a minute, then Chen Xiaoqiu simply said hello and hung up the phone.

Goodnight everybody.
