This… this guy isn't going to turn into an antisocial personality, is he…

I've heard that many people who suffer great trauma have their personalities become extremely extreme…

Looking at Senior Brother Bai's corpse, Fang Yue was somewhat stunned.

After checking on Senior Brother Bai, he was indeed dead.

So, so brutal…

But strangely, a bizarre smile hung on the corner of Senior Brother Bai's mouth, which Fang Yue found unsettling.

"You… sigh, he knew a lot of things, and you just killed him like that…"

Fang Yue still had a bunch of questions to ask Senior Brother Bai, but he never expected Bai Xiaoya to be so ruthless.

But Bai Xiaoya didn't say anything, just turned her back to Fang Yue, gazing into the distance, not knowing what she was looking at.

"Mr. Fang… Fang Yue, I feel like this life is just a joke."

"Don't say that, don't say that. Maybe Senior Brother Bai was lying, and your father didn't deceive you."

Fang Yue said as he searched Senior Brother Bai's body.

This Senior Brother Bai was a poor guy. Apart from cigarettes and a lighter, he only had a cell phone and a black badge, which were of some value.

The cell phone was locked with a password, so he needed to find another way to unlock it.

The black badge was the size of a regular name tag, with a black background, decorated with some patterns, and a line of words written on it.

[Dark Shadow Society] Outer Gate Thirteenth Path.

This was probably proof of identity, so Fang Yue kept it for the time being.

"A lie?"

Bai Xiaoya turned to look at Fang Yue, her expression calm, just like when they first met, but also somewhat different.

When he first met Bai Xiaoya, she just treated everything around her with a calm and gentle attitude.

But now, it was a deathly stillness.

Fang Yue didn't know what was hidden beneath the deathly stillness, but judging from Bai Xiaoya's act of smashing someone to death with a cell phone… it was probably endless anger.

"Fang Yue, everything Senior Brother Bai said is true. I've already accepted this fact, so you don't need to comfort me anymore. That slap earlier was enough to wake me up.

I've always been a realistic person, but at that time, I just couldn't accept that kind of fact, that kind of shock.

The current me is talking to you with very calm emotions."

Um… even if you say so, this kind of bitter and hateful topic is still a family matter, so I shouldn't gossip too much, right?

So, Fang Yue kept responding with "uh-huh."

"So, what do you want to do now?"

"Father… Bai Su'e deceived me, but he did raise me.

The kindness and grudges cancel each other out, and we should have gone our separate ways, as if everything had passed.

But everything good he gave me was based on framing me in the first place.

This makes me very conflicted."

Bai Xiaoya's calm tone made it seem like she was talking about someone else's business.

"So, you mean…"

"I want to see him."

"Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, but A'ming should know."

A'ming, that's one of Bai Su'e's people.

Fang Yue's mouth twitched slightly.

In any case, staying at this crime scene was not a good idea.

The two quickly walked back and discussed what to do after seeing A'ming.

However, they didn't realize that after they left, Senior Brother Bai's body was gradually dissolving like sulfuric acid. At the same time, a cloud of smoke gradually rose into the air.

The pure white clouds were infected by the cloud of smoke and quickly turned black, with faint thunder flashing.

…

"By the way, I found these two things on Senior Brother Bai's body."

On the way, Fang Yue showed Bai Xiaoya the cell phone and the Dark Shadow Society badge.

"I can unlock the cell phone, as for this badge… it should be a symbol of identity."

Bai Xiaoya took the badge, lost in thought, and then looked up and asked, "How much do you know about the Dark Shadow Society?"

"I only know that it's an underground organization with a huge structure, deeply rooted in Jianghai City."

"I only know this much too. The Dark Shadow Society acts in a low-key and mysterious manner, rarely allowing people to catch them in the act. I didn't expect their claws to reach so far, even Bai Su'e is one of their people."

As the two were talking about this, Fang Yue suddenly felt a little wet on the tip of his nose.

Drip, drip…

Looking up at the sky.

Drops of rain were falling down.

After a moment of stunned silence, Fang Yue was almost scared to run away.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he immediately came back to his senses - he was in reality, and rain in reality wasn't a big deal.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaoya asked strangely.

"N-nothing, I just forgot to bring an umbrella."

"Jiangyun Temple is just ahead, let's walk faster and we can get there to take shelter from the rain."

As they spoke, the two quickened their pace, but the rain in the sky began to fall harder and harder, from a light drizzle to a torrential downpour.

Dark clouds covered the sun, and the surrounding light dimmed, as if it were late at night.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The sound of thunder and lightning rang out from the black clouds.

…

Dark Shadow Society, District C Branch.

Luo Shuang, who was drinking coffee, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

In front of her desk, one of the four lit candles inexplicably went out.

"Bai Nian is dead? What a nuisance, I have to go and retrieve the strange object myself."

She had originally planned to enter the game and contact someone to find some fun for herself, to see what the guy who had contacted her urgently last night wanted to say. But this happened.

But just as she was about to get up, her expression suddenly changed, and she took out the vibrating watch from her pocket.

On the watch, there was only one thing that looked like a thermometer, rising rapidly.

"Strange Degree Line… He actually detonated that strange object at the end, that madman!"

Her expression changed a few times, Luo Shuang sighed and sat back in her seat. The detonation of the strange object, although it had become more troublesome, also reduced the need for her to make a trip.

This matter was no longer up to her to manage; she just needed to report it upwards.

Moreover… the Joint Association was probably even more anxious than them.

…

Joint Association, District C Branch.

Beep beep beep!

The alarm suddenly rang loudly in the quiet branch building.

Qiu Dugu, who had just worked all night and was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Strange Degree Line alert? The location is… Jiangyun Temple!"

Without any hesitation, Qiu Dugu gave Smoker Ma Shaoku a call, and then rushed over himself.

…

A few minutes ago.

Jiangyun Temple.

Monk Huishan stretched his neck and looked outside.

"What do you guys think, why hasn't Senior Brother Bai come back yet? The abbot has been urging us for half a day."

The others echoed one after another.

"That's right, that's right, he's been gone for so long."

"Speaking of which, who are those two people? Senior Brother Bai doesn't seem to know them. After seeing the jade pendant, he suddenly asked them to talk. Do you think… could they be Senior Brother Bai's relatives? Here to recognize relatives."

"I'm not sure. Senior Brother Bai is very mysterious, but his understanding of Buddhism is already extremely high, and the abbot often praises him, but Senior Brother Bai is still so young. If I had Senior Brother Bai's understanding of Buddhism, the next abbot would be a piece of cake."

When the others heard Huishan's ambition, they shook their heads repeatedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

Huishan curled his lips, knowing that these companions also wanted to be the abbot in their hearts, but they were just too afraid to say it.
