131-31 Festival
The butler led Mo Bei out of the deep valley. Xing, resting her chin on her hand, watched with great interest, then secretly released her light to follow the two of them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mo Bei asked the butler, "Why did we run so far?" The butler, with a slightly infatuated look, replied, "Hehehe, are you in such a hurry today?" Mo Bei asked, "In a hurry for what?" The butler answered, "Hehehe, you know what I mean." Mo Bei was a little confused, but seeing her "knowing but pretending not to understand" expression, the butler's eyes lit up with love.
At this moment, Su Guang caught up: "Master! Don't abandon me!" Mo Bei turned around: "I almost forgot about you, how could I abandon you?" The butler glared at Su Guang fiercely.
When Mo Bei turned back, a starship appeared before him. The butler led Mo Bei inside, leaving Su Guang alone outside. Mo Bei asked, "Can't Su Guang come in?" The butler replied, "You can let her know if you want." He then gestured for Mo Bei to sit down.
After Mo Bei sat down, the butler reached inside Mo Bei's bodysuit. Mo Bei panicked, "What are you doing? You're just a butler!" The butler replied, "Don't you know what I'm doing?" and prepared to go deeper. Mo Bei thought, "This won't do. Why is the author starting to go wild in this chapter? I have to salvage the reputation." So he kicked the butler away, immediately used his spiritual skill to let Su Guang in, and incidentally killed the butler. The reason will be explained directly.
Mo Bei rushed home and, as planned, messaged Xie Xuan, asking him to take her to the Memory Palace, because she felt that she would find what she wanted there.
Xie Xuan's door opened onto a flower-filled area below, and he was accompanied by seven friends, along with an explanation: "Well, you messaged me during the party, and they came over to see what was going on, thought it was interesting, and insisted on coming too." Mo Bei ignored him: "Let's hurry to the Memory Palace." Xie Xuan didn't dare to delay: "Okay!" He immediately opened the door and led the group there.
Mo Bei went straight to the Sheng Yi Cup after passing through the door. The other seven people behaved in accordance with their age group, touching and feeling everything. If I were in their shoes, I would have done the same.
Mo Bei saw that fragments of Long Yi's memory from the time of her death were still floating. He took two of them, put them in his pocket, and turned to walk away.
Xie Xuan's voice rang out, "Look at this! This wall moves!" Mo Bei walked over to him, and Xie Xuan replied, "Sister Yun Shu, are you curious too?" Mo Bei said, "Take me back first, you guys can play around." Xie Xuan stopped poking at the wall and asked as he opened the door, "What are you doing, Sister Yun Shu?" Mo Bei replied, "Back to the reception area." After opening the door, Xie Xuan said, "What's the difference between saying that and not saying that?" But he still saw her off.
Mo Bei was taken to the reception area; it wasn't Xing's shift today. Mo Bei went through the elevator to the Dragon Hall and immediately had someone take her to the treasure vault.
One of the guards asked warily, "What are you doing in the treasury? Miss Xie!" Mo Bei explained, "I'm personally inspecting the treasury, is that not allowed? Any lost items will be attributed to the Xie family." Because Long Yi had a plan, she didn't want to tell others about her death.
Mo Bei was led to the treasure vault. The vault's entrance was shaped like a dragon's mouth, enclosing a treasure chamber. Dragon claws on either side gripped smaller treasure chambers, and the dragon's eyes emitted a crimson light, reflecting off its entirely black shell. The crimson light from its eyes shone through its scales and struck its white, jade-like claws and teeth.
Mo Bei sent the guards out, then placed the memory fragment at the entrance of the treasure vault. A cold glint flashed from the memory fragment.
Mo Bei arrived at the designated spot for the bonfire in the center of the festival. It was surprisingly retro-style; were the people here all so nostalgic? But despite her complaints, she couldn't neglect the important matter. She gently placed the memory fragment into the ice crystal bucket used for burning.
Everything was ready. Mo Bei only hoped to use the memory fragments to record the killer's next theft, and could only hope that the killer would strike again in the next few days.
There was one day left until the festival began. Mo Bei, lying on the large bed, suddenly sat up. Feeling she couldn't just wait, she opened the official website of Tenshou Ryudo. The website was still quite clean at that moment.
Mo Bei found the compilation of festival preparations and clicked on it to look at it carefully.
The first one was the trailer that Mo Bei had seen earlier. He adjusted the playback speed three times without any results, so he could only move on to the next video.
Article 2: The Dragon Hall lists the festival activities: 1. Pre-festival revelry, 2. Festival announcement, 3. Announcement of rewards, 4. Opening of the treasure vault. The naming and expression skills are truly baffling; the use of "的" is unnecessary. In short, it announces the end of the festival, announces the top 25 teams, awards medals, and allows them to choose their rewards from the main treasure vault. After that, the remaining selected teams can choose their rewards from the smaller treasure vault.
Hmm... let's see what comes next, and see if there's anything useful...
There are only two videos in total! What are they called, a compilation? I thought there were many more.
As Mo Bei repeatedly reviewed the video, she thought, "Someone as strong as Long Yi couldn't possibly be killed in public, and considering the lack of external injuries when Long Yi died in the memory fragments, this further proves that my guess was correct..." She suddenly felt incredibly clever. Then, a possibility began to sprout in Mo Bei's mind: "Poisoning during the pre-festival celebration."
Mo Bei continued to bother Long Yi: she approached him again and shared her suspicions, which Long Yi readily agreed with. "I understand, they might poison the food during the festival!" Long Yi nodded. "Such a clever little sister." Mo Bei then asked, "Where is the food supplier?" Long Yi replied, "I've already thought of that; they've heavily guarded the area." He then pulled out a map of the Dragon Hall Food City from his drawer and showed it to her. Mo Bei nodded, thanked him, and turned to leave, leaving Long Yi watching her retreating figure with a sigh: "Xie family heiress Yun Shu has extraordinary insight, and her beast spirit's spiritual power is also considerable. If it weren't unrelated to dragons, she could at least be cultivated into a high-ranking member."
Mo Bei's figure appeared in the Food City, and she led Su Guang through the crowd. Suddenly, a figure appeared around the corner ahead, sneaking around. Mo Bei immediately followed, but seeing that Su Guang's firelight was too dazzling, she told him to wait where he was. Su Guang replied, "Remember to tell me if you encounter any difficulties, Master!" Mo Bei nodded, "I will, don't worry." Then she was swallowed by darkness.
That night, the man reached for the special food supplied to Long Yi for the festival—Longtang Yongyao and Fengming Bujuan. Several guards, shining their lights, searched for him. Mo Bei saw the man hiding in the shadows, seemingly unleashing a spiritual technique. He was worried for the guards, but then he thought, there was still half a day until the festival. If they were discovered missing now, the man's murder plan would be ruined, so he probably wouldn't attack them.
As Mo Bei had predicted, the guard had only collapsed and was otherwise unharmed. Just as Mo Bei regained his senses and went to look for the culprit, he discovered that the killer had vanished.
