132-32 The Truth
Mo Bei frantically searched everywhere. The culprit he had finally caught had vanished right before his eyes. He was truly heartbroken. That damned author had set up another trap.
Fortunately, the killer was hiding beside the constantly creaking car, pulling a mysterious little bottle of potion from his pocket. Mo Bei deduced that the killer intended to drug her, immediately pulled out her camera, opened it, and pressed the shutter button. The flash went off the instant the killer looked towards the flash, saw Mo Bei, and immediately rushed towards her.
Dude, what era are we living in that people still use flash photography? Didn't you check before taking the picture? But as Xie Yunshu would say, "This is called retro~ That stinky toothpick is just as short-sighted as that." At the very least, couldn't you have told the other guards first? Why did you have to act alone? If you were worried the killer would escape, you could have been cautious beforehand, like setting a trap or calling for backup. Now you're about to be killed by the killer.
Seeing the situation was bad, Mo Bei immediately tried to run towards the exit. The murderer was clever; he drugged her first, then chased after the reckless girl. "Su Guang! Guards! Help me! There's a murderer here!" These words echoed through the corridor.
The murderer smiled slightly after hearing this: "I didn't want to kill you, but since you've called me a murderer, I have to show you the power of a 'murderer'."
A ball of fire swept in from ahead, bringing with it the light that had been held back for a few moments, instantly illuminating the food capital.
The firelight illuminated the eyes of the guards: "There's something going on there!" As they rushed towards the scene, they also notified all the guards and Long Yi.
Looking at the synchronized video transmitted from Tian's hand, Long Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the person I chose, he actually managed to catch the mole." The video showed Su Guang blocking the murderer's knife and melting it.
The culprit tried to escape, but it was too late. He was knocked down by Su Guang, and Mo Bei immediately unleashed a series of swift, powerful attacks, rendering the culprit unable to get up and leaving him sprawled on the ground, unable to move.
Meanwhile, half of the guards had arrived, along with Long Yi.
Mo Bei said, "The food is poisoned! Those two have been drugged!" He pointed to Feng Mingbujue and Longtang Yongyao. Upon hearing this, Long Yi ordered the remaining guards to destroy the two food portions. In fact, those guards were already on their way; it was an unspoken understanding within Longtang. Seeing the food destroyed, the unease that had been weighing on Mo Bei's mind vanished.
Just as sunrise, Long Yi called Mo Bei over. Still half asleep, she groggily reached for her phone and was overjoyed to see the message.
A knock came at the door. "Come in," came Long Yiyou's gentle voice from inside.
The door opened, releasing a blinding flash of light. Mo Bei felt as if he were being blinded: "Did someone throw a flashbang here?" As the light faded, Long Yi's star-studded image was revealed, projected onto a large screen.
Long Yi chuckled and apologized. Mo Bei went inside and looked at his lineup: "Hill, Xipei, Ke Nipo, Tai's Yu Luosi." There are still ranking systems in this era?
Getting back to the point, Long Yi took out a medal symbolizing the Dragon Hall from a drawer, presented it to Mo Bei with both hands, and said, "Thank you for everything you've done for the Dragon Hall." Mo Bei jogged forward, accepted it with both hands, examined it in the sunlight, and then pinned it to his flat clothes, reflecting the sunlight.
Mo Bei's medals were conspicuous, reflecting light onto the wall. Mo Bei took a good bath, washing away the two days' worth of neglect; clearly, he was no longer uncomfortable with this female body.
After showering, I changed into a set of elegant pajamas, lay on the bed, gazing at the still-shining medal, and then went to the Dragon Hall to sit quietly, awaiting the start of the festival.
Just as the spotlight shone on the festival, Mo Bei felt a wave of dizziness and closed her eyes to calm herself.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back to the moment he touched the Cup of Memory. Mo Bei was completely bewildered: "Wasn't I still eating?" Then he saw the malevolent food before him and immediately became alert: "I didn't expect the author to remember the main plot! He's actually trying to ambush me!" He then discovered that he couldn't summon the Heavenly Yin Holy Sword.
Chen Jiahong looked at the Evil Devourer, which was preparing to break free. In an instant, everyone attacked the Evil Devourer, annihilating the swirling sparks, unleashing a torrent of lightning from the sky, and unleashing a dark, surging flame... The Evil Devourer vanished.
Mo Bei's memories were extracted, and in the final moments, he only saw Xie Yunshu with a devout expression, hands clasped together, muttering something, but the distance was too great to hear clearly. It was probably a ritual to end everything after defeating the Evil Devourer.
In Xie Yunshu's room at the Xie family home, the curtains were drawn, and a dusty copy of the "Chronicle of Ghost Stories" lay on the table. The ending of the book had already been written. The door was closed, and Xie Yunshu lay naked on the bed. She suddenly shuddered, then sighed in disappointment, "So many people... some were comforting themselves, some were indulging in pleasure... but in the end, they still couldn't..." Then, she turned to the side, her back to the locked door, looking at the "Chronicle of Ghost Stories" and the photos of the nine of them.
Chen Jiahong found Mo Bei, the photo lying at his feet. Mo Bei woke up beside the cup, still clutching the Sheng Yi Cup, tears glistening in his eyes.
Mo Bei was helped up and walked towards the Mo Yun ship. As soon as he entered, he saw Deng Kaiyang sleeping, and he also switched hands with him.
Mo Bei asked, "What's wrong? How did I get here..." Chen Jiahong replied, "I don't know, it's a bit strange, you suddenly fainted at the Cup of Memory..." Mo Bei recalled, "I just saw the Evil Devourer, and then suddenly this happened..." Before he could boast about reviving Long Yi, Chen Jiahong and Luo Amaya exclaimed, "Evil Devourer!" and ran towards the Cup of Memory, not forgetting to shake Deng Kaiyang awake as well.
Mo Bei followed, and Chen Jiahong anticipated what he was about to say: "The evil resentment food makes us forget our original goal and implant blank slices." Mo Bei had just understood when he felt a wave of dizziness.
"The cup...problem..." "Seeking...life..." "Opposition...everything..."
When Mo Bei stopped to listen, the sounds disappeared again, so he had no choice but to continue following. As he passed the door, he saw the seven-branched Evil Blood Ring Karma shining brightly.
Upon reaching the Cup of Memories, everyone saw the Evil Devourer burrow into it. All nine of them simultaneously touched the Cup of Memories, but Deng Kaiyang only poked at it with his finger.
Mo Bei felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had experienced something similar before.
