Si Yan sent someone to collect the human skin and take it to give Qian Sen.
Si Yan was frustrated that he hadn't caught the evil spirit.
The evil spirit also uttered a bunch of nonsensical words.
Si Yan was even more depressed.
He carefully washed his hands, looked up at himself in the mirror, and subconsciously touched his neck.
This place originally had Spirit-Suppressing Stone necklace.
The necklace had been with him ever since he started training, but recently, after he got together with Jiang Nuo, he no longer needed the protection of the Spirit-Suppressing Stone, and their souls had merged, Si Yan took it off.
Is there a fragment of someone else's soul inside the Spirit-Suppressing Stone?
However, this was not what Si Yan was worried about. He had come back this time for another very important matter.
Half an hour later, Si Yan knocked on Si Mingde's door.
"Come in."
"Grandpa, Qian Sen is dead."
Si Mingde already knew the news and shook his head. "You came to see the old man not to talk about this."
Si Mingde knew his grandson very well. His childhood experiences had caused Si Yan to suffer from emotional disorders, making him indifferent to everyone and everything.
After becoming an actress, perhaps due to the increasing number of roles she has played, her emotional distress symptoms have lessened somewhat, but so far, there are still very few people who can truly make Si Yan worry.
Si Yan glanced at the wall of books behind Si Mingde's desk. "I want to go to the Secret Room Investigation Association to keep records."
Si Mingde then reacted, asking in surprise, "What do you want to investigate?"
"... grandfather."
Si Yan lowered her eyes, as if unwilling to speak.
"Alright, alright, go ahead, but don't mess up the old man's things."
Si Mingde turned around and pressed the mechanism in the center of the wall of books with his left palm.
With a creaking sound, the wall of books slid open to both sides, revealing a passageway for entry.
Si Yan approached, and the book wall closed.
Si Mingde remained silent for a long time, guessing what Si Yan wanted to investigate, but after thinking it over, the only thing that could make Si Yan so concerned was Jiang Nuo, that child.
Could it be... that Jiang Nuo harbors some secret?
As it turns out, Si Mingde really knows his grandson well.
Si Yan entered the secret archive room, which was covered with talismans. Opening any of the items might reveal a suppressed sinful ghost or an important murder weapon that had not yet been dealt with.
Si Yan went straight to the innermost layer.
The archives here contain records of all cases resolved by the Dao Xuan Association.
He sat down in the dimly lit corner, trying to find a word related to the dungeon game in some record.
Si Yan sat there for a long time, and finally found a torn page in a notebook with a tattered cover.
The person who tore it seemed to be in a hurry, and didn't tear off the entire page; a few words remained on it.
Si Yan's gaze focused on a few words.
system.
Unable to complete... task.
Reality... connected.
Very fragmented information.
Si Yan took the record book to Si Mingde.
"I really don't know about this year."
Si Mingde thought about it carefully and said he was powerless to help, "When this record book existed, it should have been managed by the elders."
"This page was also torn up by the elder, but he's currently in Wa Country handling some matters. I'll ask him about it when he returns."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."
In any case, the matter was finally getting under control, Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She then said, "Grandpa's birthday is coming soon, so don't even think about running away this time."
Si Yan still remembers last year's birthday celebration. Everything was prepared and the guests were almost invited, but then her grandfather, as the main character, suddenly had the idea to go on a trip to the deep mountains and forests and ran away before it even started.
He was left staring blankly at all the guests.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa definitely won't run away this time, but... when are you going to bring Jiang Nuo back for Grandpa to see?"
Si Mingde was displeased. "You two have already made your relationship public, but you haven't even met each other's parents yet. What kind of behavior is this!"
Si Yan: "Who said that? My aunt has seen it."
Si Mingde: "..."
Si Yan left with a slightly swollen forehead, looking miserable.
Si Yan headed straight home, only to realize that it was already late and the bright moon was high in the sky.
When the doorbell rang, Jiang Nuo was curled up asleep on the sofa, and the TV was still showing Si Yan's movie.
He groggily opened his eyes, and barefoot, he went to open the door.
Then she snuggled into Si Yan's arms, yawned, and pinched his cheek in dissatisfaction, "Oh, oh, you didn't come home all night, leaving me all alone in this miserable room. You must have someone else outside..."
Si Yan was caught off guard and scolded. He hugged Jiang Nuo and blinked in confusion, feeling that the words sounded familiar.
Then my gaze fixed on the TV, which was playing a scene from a previous episode featuring a scumbag character, whose spouse had said this line.
Si Yan laughed helplessly, "I'm innocent! I'm completely blameless."
He put one arm around Jiang Nuo, who was still unconscious, took off his coat, changed his shoes, and then went inside.
Why isn't Nuonuo sleeping in bed?
Holding the person, Si Yan sat down on the sofa and asked softly.
Jiang Nuo then remembered what she was doing, and barely opened her eyes. "Right! I was thinking."
He scratched his head, then sat cross-legged next to Si Yan. "Let me tell you what happened these past two days."
When Si Yan left yesterday, she said she had to go home and would be out of contact for two days.
" Zhang Quan was turned into a humanoid zombie. I went to the company president's office, and there was a jade ruyi inside. I suspect it was a burial object, and the tomb owner is now at least Ghost King in strength."
"Then Zhang Quan started a live stream..."
After Jiang Nuo finished explaining everything, she pursed her lips and took a big gulp of tea.
She then picked up the jade ruyi from the coffee table and showed it to him, saying, " Zhou Yize gave it to me. I think the jade ruyi, along with other burial items that were given away, could be vessels for the Ghost King's soul."
"Wait a minute."
Si Yan had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted, "Who is Zhou Yize? Is he close to Nuonuo? Why did he give it to you?"
Jiang Nuo's thoughts were interrupted, and she paused for two seconds, "Ah... Zhou Yize is the president of that company, and if I'm not mistaken, he might also be my high school classmate."
Si Yan:!!!
The alarm blared.
What high school classmate?
Having read so many scripts, he realized that none of the high school classmates who suddenly appeared were innocent!
Si Yan was dissatisfied, her tone aggrieved, "High school classmates, just classmates... How come Nuonuo remembers so clearly? You said... you've forgotten a lot of things from before."
Jiang Nuo pursed her lips and shifted her weight back slightly. "I even wrote him love letters."
Rumble!
Si Yan's eyes trembled, and he could even hear the thunderous roar within his own heart.
Love letters... There are even love letters! And they were written by Nuonuo herself! They were written to Zhou something-or-other!
In an instant, Si Yan had already imagined all sorts of tragic scenarios: the bittersweet high school crush, the return of her gentle white moonlight to the country, and her, the original partner, being neglected or even abandoned.
Her phoenix eyes reddened without warning, and her arm trembled as she raised it to grasp Jiang Nuo's hand. " Nuonuo... you can't leave me."
Jiang Nuo: "Huh?"
What and what?
How did things get to this point?
