"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up," Ling Yi said, patting Jiang Qing'er on the shoulder.
"No matter what happened in the past, I will always be your family in the future."
Jiang Qing'er turned around and hugged Ling Yi Ling Yi, her face pressed against his chest.
Hearing Ling Yi's strong and powerful heartbeat, Jiang Qing'er felt completely at ease.
Ling Yi stroked Jiang Qing'er's head.
In this world, Jiang Qing'er was perhaps his only family.
It wasn't just because Jiang Qing'er had saved his life, but also because of the Bond between him and Jiang Qing'er.
However, as they held each other, Jiang Qing'er's little hands began to wander.
Ling Yi grabbed Jiang Qing'er's small hand and said, slowly and deliberately, "Jiang, Qing, Er!"
"You promised ten seconds last time, Uncle, and you still haven't kept your word!" Jiang Qing'er said, dissatisfied.
Ling Yi took a deep breath. "How many times have I told you, Jiang Qing'er, you're playing with fire, you're playing with fire."
For a shut-in guy who hasn't smelled meat in eighty years, Ling Yi is now like a gasoline can.
Jiang Qing'er playing with fire on gasoline cans might be tolerable for Ling Yi Ling Yi or twice, but how could he possibly withstand it if it happened repeatedly?
" Uncle, let's be together!" Jiang Qing'er said, raising her head.
Ling Yi froze instantly.
Looking at Jiang Qing'er's burning gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty.
"Ahem, let's go to the orphanage first and see if we can find any clues!" Ling Yi checked the time, turned around, and opened the car door.
Jiang Qing'er watched Ling Yi's the Back, her eyes narrowing into crescents. " Uncle, running away won't solve anything."
Fenghai Orphanage is located in the city center, not far from Linquan Entertainment Building.
The two arrived in just a few minutes by car.
The layout of the Fenghai Orphanage resembles that of a school, except that its walls are much higher than those of a typical school.
It's a full three meters long.
From the moment Ling Yi came into this world, the courtyard wall had always been this high in his memory.
However, the courtyard wall changed from blue to red, and now to white.
Originally, it was made of blue bricks, then red bricks in the 1990s, and finally white cement walls after 2000.
But no matter how the courtyard wall Changes, its height never decreased.
It seems that the world inside and outside the wall is two completely different worlds.
"Why is the front door locked?" Jiang Qing'er frowned as she looked at the locked door.
"This door looks like it's been locked for a long time!" Ling Yi touched the lock; it was covered in dust and rust.
Judging from the looks of it, this gate has been locked for at least six months.
The orphanage has closed?
That's not the point. The point is that once the orphanage closes, the leads from six months ago will likely be lost.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Ling Yi said, then Leap onto the top of the wall.
Jiang Qing'er followed closely behind.
The two of them, like two cats, easily scaled the wall and leaped into the yard.
The orphanage is not small.
It is divided into three parts: front, middle, and back.
In front is the playground, in the middle are the classrooms and the cafeteria, and in the back are the dormitories.
On the far left of the dormitory is the dean's private courtyard, with high walls and a security door, like a separate, isolated area.
This is one of the restricted areas of the orphanage.
The other two restricted areas are the warehouse basement and the mysterious little house behind the library.
The headmistress strictly forbids anyone from entering these three places.
Even getting too close would result in a slap on the hand; Ling Yi had been slapped on the hand many times for this.
The orphanage is now deserted.
Ling Yi naturally wanted to satisfy his curiosity from back then, or perhaps, he might discover some clues along the way.
He directly used his Money Power to exchange for ten minutes of Super Perception and X-Ray Vision.
Otherwise, it would be too time-consuming to search and explore such a large area one by one.
" Uncle, why don't we split up?" Jiang Qing'er said.
Ling Yi has already activated his Super Perception and X-Ray Vision, and is observing the entire orphanage.
Soon, Ling Yi Perception a special energy Aura emanating from the direction of the warehouse.
The moment Ling Yi Perception this energy, he instinctively shuddered.
This energy gave Ling Yi a chilling feeling.
It wasn't the coldness in his body, but the coldness in his mind, that made Ling Yi feel extremely uncomfortable.
X-Ray Vision, what came into view was an iron box in the basement of a warehouse.
This energy emanates from the iron box.
"Follow me, cough cough!" Ling Yi turned around and said to Jiang Qing'er.
Damn, this X-Ray Vision is a bit... shameless!
Ling Yi already knew this girl had a good figure, but he didn't expect it to be this good.
"What's wrong, Uncle?" Jiang Qing'er blinked and asked.
"Ahem, well, I've found something. Go take a look. Be careful to activate your Internal Energy and stay alert!" Ling Yi turned his head away, not daring to look at Jiang Qing'er again.
Jiang Qing'er didn't think much of it and followed Ling Yi towards the warehouse.
The warehouse door was locked, but this posed no obstacle to Ling Yi and his companion, who were already Transcendent.
Ling Yi applied a little force, snapping the lock cylinder of the security lock, and pushed the door open to go inside.
There was almost nothing left in the warehouse, except for a few empty metal racks in a corner.
In the very center of the warehouse, there is a sloping staircase.
Above the steps was a slanted wooden door.
At first glance, the entrance to the basement, along with the red-lacquered wooden door, looks just like a coffin.
The wooden door had a regular external lock with a large lock head, about the size of a normal person's fist.
Ling Yi stepped forward and, with a little force, crushed the lock.
He grabbed the door knocker and pulled open the red lacquered wooden door.
What is exposed is a section of downward-facing blue brick steps.
Ling Yi was about to step down when Jiang Qing'er grabbed his sleeve.
" Ling Yi, could there be something strange in here?"
The entrance to the basement was narrow, and no light from outside could penetrate it; it was completely dark inside.
"Then wait for me outside, I'll be up soon," Ling Yi said.
"Then be careful!"
"Don't worry, we have the Money Power!" Ling Yi laughed.
Ling Yi, now wielding his Super Perception and Super X-Ray Vision, had already seen everything in the basement.
As he descended the steps, Ling Yi's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The basement is actually not very big, only about 30 square meters.
There were traces of cabinets and similar items on the walls and floor, but now those cabinets have all been moved away, leaving only traces.
In the very center of the basement, there is a very conspicuous table.
A rusty iron table, and on the table, a similarly rusty iron box.
Clearly, this iron box was deliberately left behind by the original owner.
Ling Yi Perception the situation inside the iron box, and as he got closer, the icy Aura became more and more pronounced.
It was a chilling coldness that seemed capable of freezing Divine Power.
The Internal Energy has already started operating automatically.
They resisted the Leng Yi, but it was clearly not enough.
" Money Power, grant me ten minutes of Invincible Golden Body!"
[Ding! 1 million cash has been spent, granting you Invincible Golden Body for ten minutes.]
As Ling Yi activated the Invincible Golden Body, a large amount of golden light instantly emanated from his body.
That Leng Yi was also dispelled at the same time.
Ling Yi frowned, sensing that the person who placed the metal box seemed to have ill intentions.
Everything in there, no matter what it is, is extremely dangerous.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be dead by now.
"System, use the Probe skill!"
Instantly, a data window appeared above the metal box.
[Name: Soul Stone Sealing Box ]
[Note: The Nine Souls Seal contains Soul-Sealing Stone and cannot be opened by anyone below the Ninth Realm!]
[Status: The seal is loosening; the Soul Stone is about to break free of the box.]
