problem. However, she refers to Long Xiao Ge as "Little Master."It seems that Long Xiaogē's status is even higher than Shi Pangzi'sI couldn't help but take another look at the young man named Long. H...While my neighbors still have bare concrete houses, the villa before me is already fitted with doors and windows.

There's a big iron gate, walls, surveillance cameras, burglar bars, blackout curtains... everything is there, but the overall renovation of the house is very poor, basically just bare concrete.

Could people actually live in a place like this

I hesitated to cross the threshold, my sister reaching out behind me only to be stopped by a man in black.

Looking at these men in black suits, they don't seem like bad guys because their eyes are clear and honest.

It is said that one's face reflects their heart, although it's not entirely accurate, there is some truth to it—the environment can change a person's temperament.

Although they forced us to come here, they haven't really touched us at all.

Looking at the two heavy wooden doors ahead, I had a sneaking suspicion that whatever was waiting on the other side wouldn't be friendly.

A chill emanated from the doorknob, and with a slight push, I swung open the door.

The interior was dimly lit, with heavy blackout curtains barring several windows.

To my surprise, this place was actually, actually a raw house There was no floor laid down, yet there were still a sofa and coffee table placed there. The kitchen seemed to have appliances as well.

Who's in such a hurry! Living in this kind of house

This house isn't finished yet! The concrete still has moisture in it, how can people live here

"Who's looking for me I'm here, where is everyone" I asked in a low voice, trying to sound brave.

The villa was deserted, no one answered my words.

The longer this quiet atmosphere persisted, the more I felt a creeping sense of unease.

From upstairs came the sound of footsteps on a wooden floor, as if someone was walking towards the top of the stairs.

My gaze shifted towards the bare staircase.

There were no railings, and the lights upstairs were dim, but I saw a person's foot.

Wearing trousers and flat shoes, he stepped heavily into my sight.

This man leaned against the wall, taking slow and heavy steps downward.

The atmosphere was eerie, and heavy breathing began to fill the air, each inhale and exhale like bellows being pulled.

"... Here... Please, please sit down..."

That sound gave me goosebumps, who is that

The person descending from the stairs was tall, but his complexion was pale and gaunt, as if he were possessed by a vengeful spirit or had been drained of all his vitality!

"Who are you...what do you want from me" I couldn't help but take a step back, my hand gripping the doorknob.

"Who am I You don't know...who am I" The man paused, then burst into a strange laugh: "Hahaha...that's right, it's been a while. Maybe you've forgotten the deal we made..."

I'm completely baffled. This person looks vaguely familiar, but with this undead appearance, there's no way I could forget them. Why can't I place who they are

"Excuse me, what did I promise you I might not have had the time to do it yet. Could you please remind me" I answered carefully.

It's best not to provoke the other party in this situation. I don't dare to get angry now, after all, Mu Wanchen is not here. Although he has only been there for two days, his silence makes me very anxious.

But I can't just sit idly by. I still have to guard the treasures of Wuzhi Mountain City, send supplies to the residents temporarily residing in Miaowang City, and be ready to meet the Great Chief at any time.

With so much pressure on me, I might have forgotten some unimportant promises.

The man across from me walked down the stairs and stood in the bare room, a few meters away from me, his whole body exuding a chilling aura.

"You once promised to check on my husband's situation at the border, don't you remember"

Husband This is a woman!

I was startled inwardly. The man before me was tall and broad-shouldered, about five foot nine, looking like an ordinary man's build.

And she wore a loose, black overcoat that looked like some kind of uniform winter wear.

But she looks so thin! Her cheeks have caved in, her dark circles are heavy, and she just seems light and airy.

"Still can't remember" she sneered, suddenly pulling a handgun from her clothes.

"Ah!" I cried out in alarm, my hands shooting up immediately.

She sneered, spinning the gun in her hand: “...It’s empty, you don’t have to be afraid. I wouldn’t dare point it at you…”

"You, you, are... Daozong's, bah, Luzong's sister!" I suddenly realized.

She coughed weakly twice, and looked at me with a strange smile.

"How did you become like this! I remember you before, you were..." I stared at her in astonishment.

She wasn't like this before!

She used to be a real strong woman, acting decisively, with high rank and authority. She was quite powerful!

And she was physically strong, looking like a woman who had fought her way to the front lines.

"I've become like this... it's not because of you..." She sneered, walking towards the sofa.

My body feels light, but my steps are heavy.

Such people seem to me to be beyond hope.

"...Didn't I give you the antidote I gave it to you then, don't blame me!" After I found out who she was, I wasn't as afraid of her.

Because she was traumatized by Mu Wanchen's lesson, this kind of fear would probably haunt her dreams every night after experiencing it once.

“Yes, the antidote was effective, but afterwards I found my body getting worse day by day. I suspected I had cancer and went to the hospital for a check-up, but there was nothing wrong... My husband is busy with business at the border, and he has recently started experiencing these symptoms as well... My younger brother tried to find you before, but you were hard to locate... This time, my brother went to Africa to help you organize a diamond auction, and it's also difficult to get in touch.”

There wasn't much hostility in her tone, and I gradually relaxed my guard.

"Then what's wrong with your body You said before that your husband found something strange on the border, but I really can't leave. If not, I'll help you find someone in the circle to take a look"

She gave me a glance and shook her head. "Ordinary people probably wouldn't understand. I have a feeling this isn't simple. He lost contact recently, and I dare not spread the word."

"Ah! Lost contact Couldn't something have happened" I was shocked.

She let out a cold laugh: “If he were dead, it would be a good thing… given the current state of affairs and how strictly they’re cracking down on officials, if something happened to him, I would definitely be implicated, along with my family… I have a feeling he's still alive, but something strange must have happened… You’re involved in these mysterious affairs, so I had no choice but to come to you.”

" ...Don't act like a mob kidnapping me! Just talk to me properly! You even kidnapped me and my sister!"

“Kidnapped I just sent a plainclothes officer to invite you. Did anyone even touch a hair on your head” She let out a cold snort: “My brother went to Africa for your sake, and you should show some face and cooperate. Help me handle this, will you I seriously suspect he's gotten involved with witchcraft or something at the border...”

Witchcraft and sorcery.

I swallowed nervously. To be honest, I felt uneasy about the border because it wasn't far from where the Dragon King once ruled. practiced for decades, how could he end up in the hospital Even practitioners of Taoism understand how to take care of their bodies.Song Wei handed me a cheat sheet and said, "This old geezer might...
