Zhong Mo was silent for a moment, and it was quite a while before he spoke. "How did you know?"
"He just came to find me and we had a fight," Yue Shi said bluntly.
After he said that, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat solemn.
A flurry of chaotic thoughts flashed through Zhong Mo's mind. This wasn't the first time that one-eyed man had inexplicably provoked someone, and every time, his reasons were incredibly vague.
However, the fact that Yue Shi could call him now meant that Yue Shi was fine, and the one who was in trouble was the one-eyed man.
With that in mind, Zhong Mo asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Yue Shi said in a level tone. "That one-eyed man was beaten half to death by me and has been arrested by the Investigation Bureau."
Zhong Mo fell silent again, unsure of what to say.
Yue Shi followed up with a question: "Can you tell me what exactly is going on?"
Zhong Mo replied, "Uh... this matter is a bit complicated. I can't explain it in a sentence or two. I didn't expect things to turn out like this either. How about... we meet and talk?"
Yue Shi asked, "Aren't you in a hurry to skip town?"
"I am in a bit of a rush, but I'm more afraid of you misunderstanding me." There was no expression on Zhong Mo's face, but his tone was very sincere.
"Heh," Yue Shi sneered. "I'm busy today. We'll talk when I have time."
Zhong Mo said, "Alright, tomorrow then."
Yue Shi didn't argue. Everyone had secrets; as long as they didn't affect him, he couldn't be bothered to pry.
However, there was one thing he needed to confirm immediately. He activated 【Raven's Secret Whispers】 and asked out of the blue:
"Zhong Mo, do you or your friends have any connection to the Su family or the Glory Association?"
Zhong Mo was startled, and the truth escaped his lips: "I have no relationship with them whatsoever."
"That's good." Yue Shi felt temporarily relieved and continued to hypnotically suggest, "Forget and ignore the question I just asked. See you tomorrow."
The call ended.
Afterward, Yue Shi rested for a short while and ate some food to replenish his strength.
He waited for a long time, but there was no sign of movement from the Tulip Security Company. The person behind the scenes had clearly ordered Pei Yue to act as soon as possible today, so why hadn't they come?
It wasn't until evening that someone called. It was Ling Xun.
As soon as the call connected, the other man said urgently, "Surveillance shows an abnormal situation at the target Bai Qingyu's home. Come quickly!"
"Copy that!" Yue Shi stood up and went downstairs, hailing a taxi to head to Bai Qingyu's house.
"No rush, just drive normally," Yue Shi reminded the driver.
The driver glanced at him and teased, "You're not in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry to take more orders and make money!"
"Then just go at your own pace." Yue Shi smiled, looking like a perfectly ordinary office worker.
Soon, he arrived at Bai Qingyu's address.
Just as he stepped into the residential area, an Investigation Bureau vehicle drove up. After the car stopped, several people got out, including Ling Xun.
The others were also fully armed. Yue Shi remembered that Ling Xun's ability was 【Weapon Enchantment】; their weapons had likely been buffed by him.
Seeing Yue Shi, Ling Xun gave a greeting, and then the group walked toward Bai Qingyu's home.
Knock, knock, knock—
Yue Shi knocked on the door.
"Coming!" Bai Qingyu's soft voice came from inside. Strangely, she didn't even ask who was knocking before she opened the door.
When the door opened, Bai Qingyu appeared before everyone wearing a light, thin dress.
Although she was beautiful and had a great figure, it was no longer the season to be wearing such a thin dress, so it looked a bit odd.
However, everyone's gaze was soon drawn to her bedroom.
The bedroom door was suddenly struck violently from the inside, letting out a series of bangs.
The Investigation Bureau members were carrying portable supernatural detectors, which were currently flashing red at a high frequency.
There was a supernatural creature nearby!
Yue Shi hadn't expected a supernatural creature to get involved...
Wait!
Was the appearance of a supernatural creature really just an accident?
If he hadn't learned of Pei Yue's plan in advance, would this creature have become part of some kind of trap?
"What's the situation?" Yue Shi asked Bai Qingyu directly.
At the same time, the Bureau personnel all rushed into the room, their muzzles aimed at the bedroom.
Bai Qingyu had a look of perfectly measured panic on her face as she explained clearly, "I'm not sure. The person in the bedroom is my best friend. She came over to visit, and we were originally just chatting, but she suddenly became strange and said a lot of odd things. Just now, she even lost her mind like she was going crazy. Luckily, you all arrived in time."
She didn't ask why Yue Shi and the others had suddenly come to her house, acting entirely harmless and extremely frightened.
Yue Shi felt a wave of revulsion at the mention of her "best friend." If he remembered correctly, her last best friend was Fang Jianxin.
Being her best friend was quite a challenging role.
"What did your best friend say before she lost her mind?" Ling Xun asked.
"She said that all living beings are equal and urged me to respect nature and respect life. She taught me everything from being a vegetarian to complete bigu fasting, and even asked me to perform daily good deeds, like releasing small animals and such." When Bai Qingyu said these words, there seemed to be a hint of piety on her face.
Everyone looked at each other; this seemed like a very serious problem!
Looking at everyone's expressions, Bai Qingyu asked very solemnly, "Don't you think what my best friend said makes a lot of sense? People really should be kind and respect life. If everyone had such a Holy Mother's heart, this world would definitely become a better place."
It was confirmed. Not only was the best friend problematic, but Bai Qingyu herself had developed issues!
"How is your best friend's aggression and destructiveness? Has she shown any abnormal abilities?" Yue Shi asked.
Bai Qingyu shook her head. "She seems to be just a crazy ordinary person, nothing special. I locked her in the bedroom very easily."
Ling Xun spoke up then, "Open the door. This kind of situation should be handled as soon as possible."
As his voice fell, he raised the gun in his hand and kicked the bedroom door.
Bang—
The door was kicked open, and the person who had been slamming against it was knocked to the floor.
It was an ordinary-looking young woman, her body withered and thin, her cheeks sunken. She looked malnourished and somewhat prematurely aged.
Seeing the crowd, she didn't launch an attack. Instead, with a face full of frenzy, she began to chant with great emotion:
"The one and only Holy Mother, Guardian of the Light of Humanity, Source of Kindness and Mercy, Pure Radiance of All Things Toward Goodness, You are the destination of all souls and the only salvation in despair, Great—"
Bang!
Ling Xun kicked her hard in her incessantly moving mouth. The force was great, resulting in a physical silencing that was extremely effective.
Yue Shi, standing to the side, was somewhat stunned. Ling Xun's temper had always been mild; why had he suddenly become so violent?
Looking at the others around them, they actually showed expressions of pity and condemnation, as if Ling Xun had committed an unforgivable and monstrous crime.
A flash of insight crossed his mind, and Yue Shi realized it in an instant.
