Farewell to the Past

Chapter 47: Farewell to the Past

The new detective agency was warm, comfortable, and cozy.

As Wu Xian renovated his home, his heart was also gradually being cleansed.

He was an orphan.

He couldn't remember his life before the age of ten. After that, he was adopted by an old detective who forced him to attend university for half a year.

As for why only half...

It was because the old man died.

Wu Xian dropped out of university and took over the detective agency. He began investigating the Fudi Case. During that time, Wu Xian didn't care what would happen to him; he only wanted to know the truth of the Blessed Land.

Wu Xian bit off a piece of sweet and sour pork and caught sight of a clean-faced young man with dyed blonde hair and earrings sneakily heading towards the lockers.

"So that's what's been watching me."

But when he opened the locker and felt a stack of bills through the cloth bag, he let his guard down and quietly pulled the package open a crack.

If this Overbearing Little Puppy was smart enough, he would have noticed the many flaws in Wu Xian's words. But Wu Xian didn't think a gambling dog extorting his girlfriend had that much intelligence.

Wu Xian didn't know how things would develop afterward.

So, he wanted to live a serious, refined life.

Wu Xian walked back into his room and picked up the phone. A crisp and energetic male voice came from the other end. This must be the 'Overbearing Little Puppy.'

He looked through the gap and his face instantly changed. He stomped his foot in anger.

He smiled slightly and replied in a formulaic tone.

Then, Wu Xian set up a timed email before putting his phone and some Yellow Paper into a package.

Wu Xian squatted on the ground, packing and sealing some old items he was reluctant to throw away. He paused when he picked up a photo frame, hesitated for a moment, and then placed the frame on his bedside table.

Wu Xian flipped through Lu Yuzhu's transaction records. This Little Puppy had never repaid the money he borrowed.

'Let's learn to bark like dogs together, woof woof woof...'

But if the Blessed Land's influence on reality was profound enough, then something interesting should happen soon.

The Little Puppy was overjoyed. "Convenient, it must be convenient!"

Plan A didn't work, so it was time to try Plan B.

He had placed the package in the locker last night.

"They're finally here."

The photo in the frame was of Wu Xian and an old man.

"But even if I die, I will make my voice heard!"

"Our rule is that remains cannot be handed over in person. So, by noon tomorrow, I will place the package in the locker opposite Chuhe Road Qipei Restaurant. After placing it, may I give you the locker number and password?"

Two hours earlier, a timed email was sent to Lu Yuzhu's inbox. The recipient was the president of the largest newspaper in Fuyuan City.

Time was approaching twelve o'clock.

The surveillance here was old and in disrepair, and he had deliberately avoided routes where he might encounter people. No one would know he put it there.

"Then now, I just need to do one last thing, and I can completely bid farewell to the past."

"No wonder I couldn't find any valuable clues after investigating for three years..."

"I'm forever trapped inside, unable to leave."

'My dearest, this document is very important. I can't tell you the unlock password directly, but if you remember our promise, you will surely recall the password. Please, please help me protect this document.'

"Tch, still a gambling dog."

The content of the email was as follows:

"Hello, this is Ping'an Funeral Home. Are you a family member of Ms. Lu Yuzhu? She was cremated at our facility three days ago. May I ask..."

"I'm afraid anyone who dares to defy this warning has vanished from the face of the earth, perhaps meeting a fate more terrifying than death."

He deleted the previous folder, then downloaded the entire "Calabash Brothers" series. He encrypted the entire series multiple times, creating a compressed file. He stored this compressed file on Lu Yuzhu's phone and wrote a note.

But after entering the Blessed Land, his heart felt strangely at peace.

"I will expose the terrifying truth. Everything about the Fudi Case is on my phone. My lover will tell you everything."

He walked outside the detective agency, climbed a ladder, and removed the agency's sign. Amidst the astonished gazes of passersby, he unceremoniously stuffed the sign into the trash can without any hesitation.

"Secrets of Heaven Cannot Be Revealed."

This ringtone wasn't Wu Xian's; it was Lu Yuzhu's.

But when Wu Xian tried to save it, he felt a sudden palpitation for no reason.

A wisp of foul energy emanated from the computer. A shadow cloaked in black suddenly appeared, its dark hand resting on Wu Xian's shoulder, its indistinct face close to Wu Xian's ear.

This young man was precisely the 'Overbearing Little Puppy.'

The house has been tidied up now.

If information about the blessed land leaks to someone who doesn't understand it, Wu Xian will encounter terrible things.

His name is Huo Gai.

After a simple disguise, Wu Xian ordered a few dishes and a bottle of 'Tingba Brand' coconut juice, sitting by the window and enjoying the food with his eyes narrowed.

Just as Wu Xian was reveling in the joy of breaking free from his restraints, he suddenly heard a phone ringing in the room.

"Follow your rules, I'm not in a hurry!"

"Bad luck, you're dead. Don't ask me for funeral expenses, I'm not familiar with her."

"Please, don't hide it anymore, let everyone know the truth!"

It was time to do some investigating. Although Wu Xian was no longer a detective, he would have to frequent the blessed land from now on, and some things needed to be clarified for his peace of mind.

The next day.

Wu Xian grinned, "No, Ms. Lu's remains are a mobile phone and some cash. Would you be able to receive them?"

"Hello, Yuzhu, save me quickly! I lost at cards, transfer me 1000 yuan, and I'll pay you back when I win."

Wu Xian patted the dust off his clothes and stood up.

It seemed this black-robed shadow was a warning from the blessed land.

Wu Xian sighed helplessly.

Wu Xian arrived at the newly renovated esports room.

Wu Xian sat in the ergonomic chair and took a while to recover his ability to move. The mental shock from the phrase 'Secrets of Heaven Cannot Be Revealed' was even greater than that from the previous blessed land's big boss, the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother.

Huo Gai was worried that Lu Yuzhu's parents would also come to claim the relics, so he was constantly vigilant of his surroundings.

Back when Wu Xian first got Lu Yuzhu's phone, he had already noticed that this little puppy was manipulating Lu Yuzhu.

"A beautiful life doesn't require such a thing as work."

Soon, time approached twelve o'clock.

Wu Xian hung up the phone.

This document was a lure.

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes.

He turned on the computer, its RGB lighting at full blast, and began to fabricate a document. The document contained the notes Qi Zhiyong had given him, added details of this blessed land, and some of Wu Xian's speculations about the blessed land.

After saying this, the black shadow vanished into thin air.

Now that he was a favored one, some things would no longer be kept secret from him by the blessed land. Compared to before, he should be able to find out more.

Chuhe Road, Qipei Restaurant.

The package didn't contain banknotes at all.

Instead, it was stacks of underworld money!
