Chapter 245

The next day, Xiao Li was packing his luggage. He said he was packing but he didnt have anything to bring. He just placed a few changes of clothing for him and Shen Chenzhi in the suitcase and it was over.

The news was being broadcasted on TV. The hosts polite smile looked a bit solemn. Recently, the country and even the world has continued to experience heavy rains. The temperature is obviously abnormal. It is expected to last for at least a week. Major universities across the country have suspended cla.s.ses. Citizens and friends, please be sure to reduce the time you go out

Xiao Li turned on his phone and sent a message to w.a.n.g Huai. [The train at 3 p.m.]

Scrolling up in their chat record, the conversation went like this:

At 4 oclock in the morning: [Sherlock, have you seen the new task? We have all been attacked to varying degrees. the reincarnators are okay but ordinary people are]

[Night hinted to me that she wont intervene.]

Xiao Li hadnt woken up at the time. Around 7 in the morning, w.a.n.g Huai sent another message: [If you have time, come to the Yun Province. Something has happened here.]

[A mansion here is out of control and spread to the entire city. It is more serious and has spread faster than any other place known so far. I think it is very likely there are some secrets hidden here.]

A little while later, Xiao Li replied to w.a.n.g Huai: [The address. Ill book a ticket.]

[Does this count as an official business trip? Are the tickets reimbursed?]

w.a.n.g Huai: []

It was only at this time that he remembered Sherlock was a young man without a job.

On the other hand, w.a.n.g Huai had to admit that he sighed with relief after Xiao Li had promised to come over. He gave an address and contact information before giving a reminder: [Dont take the plane. The planes are out of service in this weather. Take the train.]

Shen Chenzhi opened the door at this time.

Lets go. Xiao Li set up the automatic feeder for the only white cat staying at home. He teased it twice before standing up. Shen Chenzhi took the suitcase in Xiao Lis hand. Then he saw that Xiao Li was wearing a thin s.h.i.+rt and held his shoulder.

Xiao Li looked back blankly. Whats the matter?

Add a coat, Shen Chenzhi told him.

Xiao Li argued. It isnt cold.

Shen Chenzhis words were simple. Its raining.

Once Xiao Lis s.h.i.+rt got wet, it would stick to his body and look like he wasnt wearing it. He insisted so even though Xiao Li didnt feel cold, he didnt intend to argue. He grabbed a black coat from the hanger in the living room and walked out of the room.

Xiao Li was walking downstairs when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller and paused for a moment. Shen Chenzhi was walking beside him and noticed his movements. What is it?

Xiao Li said nothing and pressed to hang up. However, the other side called constantly. Finally, he answered and Xiao Yuzhengs voice was heard. Xiao Li.

Xiao Li stared out of the corridor casually. The rain fell on layers of fog. He didnt like this type of weather. Hmm?

Be careful these days. Xiao Yuzheng didnt speak immediately. It was as if he didnt know what to say to his son whom he hadnt seen for a long time. In the end, he said with concern, Dad has heard a lot of news. It isnt peaceful and many people have run into ghosts.

He might be afraid that Xiao Li wouldnt believe in G.o.ds and ghosts. He added, Besides, it is raining heavily outside. Dont go out and stay at home.

Xiao Li held his phone in one hand and the Eternal Soul Umbrella in the other. It is very heavy but Im about to walk into the rain.

He ignored Xiao Yuzhengs words, hung up the phone, put his phone into his pocket and walked out of the corridor. He stood in the rain, turned his head toward Shen Chenzhi and motioned for him to stand under the umbrella.

Just then, the rain from the sky became his foil and he was the only colour in the gloomy wall.

Shen Chenzhi couldnt hold back. He stepped forward and held the other persons hand that was holding the umbrella. Half his shoulder was exposed to the rain as he leaned over to kiss Xiao Li.

***

The train moved through the rain.

Almost no one was going to such a remote place in this type of weather. Xiao Li and Shen Chenzhi occupied the entire carriage but Shen Chenzhi had to sit next to Xiao Li.

The signal on the train wasnt good. Xiao Li had nothing to do so he simply spread out the little yellow book on the table in front of him, playing with the light black crystal he received from Zui Tian.

Shen Chenzhi was ignored by him and finally couldnt help saying, Baby, what are you thinking about?

This was the first time Shen Chenzhi let out the words in his heart. Xiao Li was stunned. It was the first time someone had called him in such a tone except for his mother.

Dont call me that. Xiao Li recovered. He took a pen to draw a well on the yellow notebook and added a layer of planks to the top of the well. I was thinking about how to block the well.

It was worth mentioning that although Xiao Li wanted to draw a well, it ended up looking like a strangely shaped wooden barrel due to his own drawing skills. However, Shen Chenzhi still felt that it was cute. Shen Chenzhi gave appropriate advice. Since it is a leak, it is most appropriate to plug it with the original fragments.

You mean this thing? Xiao Li spread open his hands.

Before Shen Chenzhi could answer, Xiao Li spoke again, I had already guessed it. Since it could increase Zui Tians power and it fell from the sky, it should be some type of incarnation of chaos power. I have spoken to Atlantis. If we can gather enough of it, we can consider using it to repair the well.

However, Im wondering something. Is it only the G.o.d of the underworld who wants the core of reality? What about the other G.o.ds? Death, lies, night

They are waiting for an opportunity, Shen Chenzhi spoke coldly. However, if the other G.o.ds make a move before reality is completely destroyed then I will cut off their hands.

***

There was heavy rain in the Yun Province. It was much heavier than the city where Xiao Li was located. It was as if there was a hole in the sky. Violent raindrops. .h.i.t the city like hail. The ground was covered with puddles and there were few pedestrians near the train station.

Xiao Li and Shen Chenzhi walked out of the station and found w.a.n.g Huai was already waiting. Seeing Xiao Li, he stopped talking to the people around him and waved. It was very lively around w.a.n.g Huai. Most of them were faces that were familiar to Xiao Li. In addition to Ye Zeqing and Ye Lings.h.i.+, there was a young girl looking at Xiao Li with excitement. She greeted him, Moriarty, do you remember me?

Xiao Li took a look at her and found her ident.i.ty in his memories. She was a plot character from the ghost s.h.i.+p instance. Luo Shan.

He hadnt expected Luo Shan to come here. She was fundamentally different from other people. She was a character in the ghost s.h.i.+ps plot but at the end of the task, she was absorbed into reality and became a reincarnator.

Luo Shan seemed to see Xiao Lis question and didnt shy away from it. She told him honestly, I wanted to come.

From the moment I became a reincarnator and realized I was just a character in an instance, I struggled and felt lost. Finally, I decided to live for myself. Luo Shan continued. However, now I understand that reality isnt the reality I imagined. It will become an instance world and every instance was once a reality. After becoming a plot character, there will be a rare opportunity to become the next reincarnator in reality.

Luo Shan declared, I want to change everything. I want to join you.

Next to Luo Shan was a tall, black-haired woman. She had wavy hair and attractive features. She had obviously partnered with Luo Shan many times. At this time, she faced Luo Shan and said, She is worthy of trust.

Xiao Li didnt know her so w.a.n.g Huai pointed and introduced her. Gong Mingming, you can call her Mystery.

Gong Mingming smiled. Sherlock, Moriarty or Hercule, what should I call you?

Anything is fine.

This G.o.ddess on the forum was obviously very interested in Xiao Li. She had been obviously studying Xiao Li and now she smiled. Then Ill call you Sherlock. This is your original name.

Xiao Li nodded nonchalantly.

This is? Her gaze s.h.i.+fted to Shen Chenzhis body. Sherlocks boyfriend had been a hot topic in the forum recently but Gong Mingming hadnt had time to look at the forum. She didnt know about Shen Chenzhi yet. Shen Chenzhi himself wasnt very famous in the reincarnators forum. He was low-key and didnt complete the tasks.

In order to avoid trouble, Xiao Li replied, Family.

This word immersed Shen Chenzhis heart in a warm current. He had been cold due to seeing too many people surrounding Xiao Li. Now he was warmed up by the word and his lips curved in a smile. Yes, Im a family member accompanying him.

Gong Mingming was taken aback. She immediately understood Xiao Lis meaning but didnt say anything. She just replied generously, It is a good match.

Ye Zeqing hurriedly grabbed Xiao Lis elbow and whispered in Xiao Lis ear. Didnt you say previously that you werent together? When did it happen?

Xiao Li stared at him in an expressionless manner.

After the short greeting time, w.a.n.g Huai clapped his hands. Okay, back to the topic. Time is running out so well talk as we go.

The scene fell silent. His words were clearly addressed to Xiao Li. The others had come one step ahead and already knew more or less. Xiao Li followed them to the car parked outside the train station and they were divided into two cars. Xiao Li, Shen Chenzhi, w.a.n.g Huai and Ye Zeqing sat in the same car while w.a.n.g Huai drove. The winds.h.i.+eld wipers kept working but the continuous rain still blocked w.a.n.g Huais sight. Therefore, the speed of the car was very slow.

This was Xiao Lis first visit to this city. It was close to the edge of the country and was a famous tourist destination. It was just that the weather meant tourists were quite scarce.

Xiao Li stared out the window and saw foreign style houses, tall buildings, majestic mountains and beautiful scenery. Almost all the residents were indoors and there were no pedestrians on the road.

w.a.n.g Huai spoke as he drove. The house we are going to belongs to the Sun family. Their family comes from a spiritual place and they are a famous ghost catcher family, even older than the Ye family. However, contact has been lost with the Sun family since last night.

There was constant crying from the Sun familys ancient house. At first, it was only heard by the pa.s.sersby. Later, this crying spread through the entire city.

I heard the news and immediately rushed over. I knocked on the Sun familys door and someone responded, but their reaction was very strange.

Xiao Li heard up to here and finally opened his mouth. How strange?

They didnt want to let me in. w.a.n.g Huai replied. The first time I came there, they used the excuse of nothing happened to close the door. Later, the crying lasted a long time and I took many people with me. They could only let me stay temporarily but they refused to say the reason for the crying.

Xiao Li closed his eyes. I dont hear crying.

Its stopped now, w.a.n.g Huai explained. Five hours ago.
