"Before this, I didn't have any particularly lofty ideals. I just lived in my own world, doing a career I loved, having friends, people I loved, and people who loved me... Now it's like a dream.

, can’t distinguish between reality and illusion..."

Sanqing raised his head and read the look of longing to be understood in Fan Xiyuan's eyes.

"I still need a little time."

The rain outside has no intention of getting lighter. Countless rain pillars are washing away this gloomy world. They fall on the land and everything, hoping that the place will be rejuvenated and have hope again.

Hope lies in the hands of the young man in front of me.

Sanqing put on her glasses again and regained her composure.

"But I don't have time."

Fan Xiyuan doesn't understand.

"Bigger things will happen in Ludu soon. Maybe before the king takes action himself, this place will be completely finished."

"What's the meaning?"

"Mutations!"

"Mutations?"

"All souls in the underworld have no possibility of life or death. Although there are occasional conflicts, large-scale riots have not broken out. The main reason is that it is established under order, has common rules, and everyone is in peace with each other."

Sanqing glanced at Fan Xiyuan.

Fan Xiyuan nodded, except for the physical body, there is no difference between the underworld and the human world.

"Other than that, it is not enough to control the situation. In fact, the Demon King also has an ability. Although it cannot reincarnate the soul, it can completely destroy it!"

destroy?

Fan Xiyuan remembered that he had witnessed the devil make a soul completely disappear in the subway.

"You may not understand how urgent it is for most people to achieve complete liberation in the underworld."

"What's the meaning?"

Sanqing laughed dumbly and drank another glass of wine, letting the alcohol burn in his throat.

"In the underworld, although the soul is immortal, it has time and timing, just like the shelf life of food, it will be affected by time, space, and temperature; the soul in the underworld will also gradually collapse and be destroyed.

Corroded by maggots, they gradually lose consciousness and eventually turn into lowly spirits! The scary thing is that when the body starts to collapse, there are no signs, no rules, and it is completely random. There may be no problem today, but it will happen the next day.

Found myself rotting."

"You mean, the Demon King is using this ability to control the souls in the underworld?"

If there is no hope of the next life, it is better to die than to become a defeated spirit. Fan Xiyuan shuddered.

"Compared with mutation, these are nothing at all." Sanqing gritted his teeth, with a more stern look on his face, "Mutation is even a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying."

The wind outside seemed to be getting stronger, and the candle seemed to be blown out. Fan Xiyuan walked over and blocked the hole in the window with his body.

“Have you ever heard of cannibalism?”

"People cannibalize people?" Fan Xiyuan was shocked.

"A murder occurred in the Noble District today. I thought it was just an ordinary case.

A criminal case, but the five people who were killed turned out to be eaten; I still have no direct evidence to prove whether souls will mutate if they cannibalize each other..." Sanqing hesitated, a little undecided,

"There are suspicious places, and there are also many suspicious points here..."

Sanqing then recounted the murder of Sun Dayi's family in the Noble District today from beginning to end, but retained the conversation with Jiu Ming.

After listening to this, Fan Xiyuan felt cold all over.

So, he called Ye Shuang in to discuss it together.

“What’s the worst outcome of mutation?”

"Actually, there is no record of mutation in the police station's files. There are only a few rumors about soul mutation, but it is not exact. Today's case made me instinctively connect it." Sanqing thought for a while,

"If the rumors are true, the body and appearance of the person who eats the soul will undergo some changes. Secondly, the scary thing is that he will become very violent. The more he eats, the more lost he will be; and the soul that is eaten will eventually become...

Becoming a part of his body is no different than destruction."

"Ye Shuang, have you heard of mutation?" Fan Xiyuan looked at Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang thought for a while and shook his head: "I have never heard my brother talk about it."

"Whether this matter is true or not, there will be results after tonight!" Sanqing said almost word for word.

Ye Shuang looked out the window and called softly: "Mr. Fan."

It's late at night and it's getting late.

Fan Xiyuan nodded and brought a glass of wine: "I came today mainly because I wanted to meet you. I didn't expect to talk to you so much. It's not in vain. I respect you, brother!"

Sanqing picked up the wine glass and the two of them drank it together.

"Let's go first!" Ye Shuang said from the side.

"Ye Shuang, you told me not to call me Mr. Fan, call me Fan Xiyuan." Fan Xiyuan looked at Sanqing with some embarrassment.

Sanqing looked at Ye Shuang and smiled: "You bought the sake and spring fish, right?"

"Don't you like it?"

"I just liked it tonight, but I won't use a knife next time."

Fan Xiyuan wisely hid aside.

"I just want to remind you that it's always better to have an extra eye." Ye Shuang's tone was still so cold.

"Thank you, my gun is not slow either."

"goodbye!"

Ye Shuang took Fan Xiyuan and left without looking back.

Sanqing watched them leave with a smile on her face, a little lost in thought. This feeling was so good.

He poured himself a glass of sake and drank it, then pinched a piece of pomfret and ate it. The chill in his body went away a lot.

I really should have asked where I could find them. Sanqing was a little annoyed.

He opened the window and let the wind from outside blow in. The candle on the table was extinguished in an instant.

He also disappeared into the darkness.

--------------------------

Fan Xiyuan looked at the street lights that were moving backwards. The rain was still so heavy that it hit the car windows, making him feel a little dazed.

If not in the underworld,

The night view here is no different from the city where I live.

"Mr. Fan, didn't you tell him the truth?" Ye Shuang drove the car.

Fan Xiyuan sighed softly. Before going to see Sanqing, he originally wanted to tell him the fact that it was Fang Yufan. When he saw Sanqing, he suddenly hesitated. He was obviously coming on the same reincarnation train. When he was still in the dark

When he was wandering and lost, Fang Yufan arrived in the underworld before him. The time difference may be a few years or decades. It is difficult to explain this clearly. What is even more difficult to explain is how he became Sanqing again.

He became the Demon King's right-hand man.

All this takes time, not only for myself, but also for Sanqing.

"Just wait... This time is not the best time for him or me." Fan Xiyuan leaned his head against the car window, and the street lights flickered on him.

"Your brother Ye Qi is still locked up in the dungeon of the police station. Aren't you anxious?" Fan Xiyuan suddenly remembered.

"The task my brother gave me is to protect you. I don't need to worry about other things." Ye Shuang seemed to be concentrating on driving.

"Are you big-hearted or short-sighted?" Fan Xiyuan smiled.

"Mr. Fan, what do you mean?"

Fan Xiyuan realized that Ye Shuang might not quite understand what he meant, so he smiled and waved his hand, "Your brother Ye Qi is really a strange person. He knows a lot of things. If he could come out earlier, I might know more."

After all, Mr. Mingshi Fan's legacy was damaged because it was too late, and a lot of information is still unclear.

"My brother has been following you, sir, all his life. Everything he knows is what you taught him." Ye Shuang paused and continued: "He told me before he left that once he was caught, there was no need to go out of his way to

Save him, and when the time comes, he will come out naturally."

Having said that, what else could Fan Xiyuan say? Somehow, he could feel that Ye Qi might have a closer connection with him, and it was not just as simple as following him.

Where will Xiao Linzi be at this moment?

-----------------------

"Mr. Fan, we checked carefully about the Yugu you mentioned last time, but we didn't find any clues."

Fan Xiyuan hummed and held his hands in front of his chest. He was more worried about another thing now: "Do you have any thoughts on the soul mutation that San Qing mentioned?"

Ye Shuang was silent for a moment: "If it's true, it's a disaster!"

This is of course a disaster. Souls cannibalize each other. In fact, people cannibalize people. Whatever the reason, it is ultimately a huge tragedy.

The tragedy of the underworld.

Fan Xiyuan felt a headache and his heart sank to the bottom of his heart.

"Go back!"

Ye Shuang nodded, "Will you continue when you go back?"

"Of course continue!" Fan Xiyuan thought for a while and smiled knowingly, "I still have a lot to learn, and I have to ask Miss Ye Shuang to give me more advice!"

"OK!"

Ye Shuang smiled imperceptibly.
