[So the truth is that Ran Jingjing retaliated against those who had harmed Su Xiaohua in order to avenge her.]
[Then it’s possible that the person who killed Shen Shukuang was Ran Jingjing, right? She had a strong motive.]
On the way out, the escape system spoke in Bai Lixin’s mind, [Unfortunately, she never said exactly whether she killed Shen Shukuang or not.]
[Ah!] Suddenly, the escape system exclaimed, [Oh no, Master Bai Lixin!]
Bai Lixin: [What’s wrong?]
Escape system: [We should ask her where Su Xiaohua’s body is! Since she’s so certain that Su Xiaohua is dead, she must have seen Su Xiaohua’s body.]
S419M: [But Ran Jingjing said she only received a phone call from Su Xiaohua. It was her who called the police when Su Xiaohua went missing and she was Su Xiaohua’s best friend. There’s no need for her to hide Su Xiaohua’s body.]
[And I don’t think Ran Jingjing is the one who killed Shen Shukuang.]
Escape system: [Why not?]
S419M: [The style is different. Ran Jingjing’s revenge against these people seems to involve prolonged methods, cutting them bit by bit to make them suffer. But Shen Shukuang’s death looked like the result of being mauled by a ferocious beast.]
Suddenly, a strange white light streaked across the sky. Bai Lixin stared in the direction of the light and gently tapped the driver’s shoulder from behind, “Driver, change the route to that place.”
The driver was startled by Bai Lixin’s tap. He shuddered, then swiftly made a sharp turn in a different direction, “Where are we going this time, Great Immortal?”
Bai Lixin wasn’t exactly sure where the destination was, so he simply said, “Just keep going straight, I’ll tell you when we get there.”
The driver swallowed nervously.
It was already 3 AM, with few pedestrians and vehicles left on the road, even the streetlights were off.
On the pitch-black road, the car’s headlights shone alone, reflecting against the glimmering stars above.
As they continued down the increasingly unfamiliar road, the driver realized the surroundings were becoming more and more familiar.
The Great Immortal behind didn’t call for a stop, but the driver’s hands began to tremble.
Bai Lixin sensed the driver’s fear, “What’s wrong? What’s ahead?”
Driver: “It’s… it’s the crematorium.”
Bai Lixin: “Where your friend works?”
The driver felt as if all his strength was drained away from him, but he still nodded professionally: “Yes, yes.”
“Then let’s stop here.” Bai Lixin stopped the car, took out ten gold leaves from his backpack, and handed them over, “You can head back now. I’ll go the rest of the way myself. This is your payment for tonight.”
The driver looked at the thick stack of gold leaves, then at Bai Lixin’s young face, and finally at the crematorium where traces of fire could already be seen. He gritted his teeth, “Are you going to go there by yourself? Get in. I’ll take you there!”
To hell with it!
The immortal was giving him so much money, how could he let the Great Immortal go by himself!
“No, don’t go any further.” The young man’s expression was unusually serious, “turn around immediately and go back. And don’t accept any business from the crematorium in the next few days.”
The driver opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but seeing Bai Lixin’s serious face, he obediently closed his mouth, turned the car around, and drove away.
As the red taillights gradually receded, Bai Lixin squinted at the building not far away.
A very ominous blood mist enveloped the building, with a towering red glow emanating from its center.
The surrounding space distorted, and an uncomfortable, foul smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.
From the driver’s expression just now, he probably couldn’t see this scene.
The driver had never seen it, while Bai Lixin had seen it once before, but it wasn’t as eerie and terrifying as it was now.
When he first entered this copy, he had seen this distorted space in the office building where he first appeared.
White Wuchang had once said that this was a force field area.
force field areas that appear for no reason could trap souls, and even the underworld was powerless.
Bai Lixin had just taken two steps forward when he heard a familiar barking come behind him.
Gan Tai was too sensitive. After disappearing for so long tonight, it actually found him again.
Gan Tai dashed to Bai Lixin’s side, its body slightly arched in an attacking stance, baring its teeth and roaring fiercely towards the crematorium.
It barked twice, then dashed forward again, heading straight towards the crematorium.
Seeing this, Bai Lixin immediately followed. As he got closer, the thick smell of blood grew stronger.
He also felt the resistance from the surrounding air. The air passed through his body like a sharp blade, piercing through his flesh and causing pain.
Bai Lixin glanced at his exposed arm and saw no wounds on it; the pain seemed to be an illusion.
However, he knew it wasn’t an illusion. This pain cut not into his flesh but his soul.
As they neared the crematorium, he saw people standing outside.
When he saw those people, they also looked over and noticed them.
Bai Lixin quickened his pace, passed Gan Tai, and rushed to the front of these people, “I’m here.”
The leader in white came forward, “Your Majesty, Queen Dowager.”
The tense group of people instantly froze, and looked curiously at Bai Lixin who had barged in.
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Why did the tense and oppressive atmosphere suddenly become strange!’
