Chapter 249 - Guangru's Mother has Arrived

Chuan Nayi actually thought these two would capture her, but it seemed that they weren't part of Wu Zhong's people. With everyone trying to blend in, it was getting very hard to tell who's an enemy and who's a friend. She then hooked some fringe behind her ear. "Found everyone?"

Du Zhizhuo walked up to her and kneeled down so she would get a view of his face. The man decided to go soft because he was talking to a woman who was probably very wary of soldiers. "I'm called Du Zhizhuo, and I came here to look for you, Feng, and Jin. Well, since you're all fine, it should be okay."

"You're not here for Xiaodan?" Chuan Nayi figured this man was either from Ren Shanyue or Li Heilong. No matter who they belonged to, she wanted to know if they were going to take Liu Xiaodan with them. She wouldn't leave without him after all… even if this place was hellish already.

"Hm? What I meant is that I have to secure that you're well. As for Xiaodan, I have no orders to take or leave him. Maybe very dependent on the circ.u.mstances." Du Zhizhuo just said the truth. The group's mission was to destroy Cherry Medical. They only needed to secure Li Feng and his friends. If that included Liu Xiaodan, it was really very circ.u.mstantial… considering the kind of creature he had become.

Chuan Nayi only nodded. That only meant that this man was from Li Heilong instead. If Ren Shanyue sent them, Liu Xiaodan would be their top priority. She then looked around her, just watching the others sleep off the nightmare. "So, where's Li Feng and Ruan Jin?"

The soldier somewhat pursed his lips. They actually walked close to the room where Liu Xiaodan entered, but they couldn't get the door to open. However, they could see Liu Xiaodan and Ruan Jin on the bed. Li Feng was chanting in the middle so they figured they shouldn't disturb the young men at all.

However, his silence made Chuan Nayi's heart sink. Why couldn't he say where they were? Did something very bad happen to them? She then turned to the man who had a blanket over his head at the side. "Same as him?"

"No, no. Feng is doing a shaman ritual while the two others are taking a rest in another room. We can't get to them so we just let them be." The soldier realized how he sounded to the woman too late, and so he tried to clarify. "Besides, everything seemed to be according to plan for now. Don't worry, let the rest handle their part. Before you know, we're all out of here."

"What exactly is the ending you're hoping for?" The chef didn't know what to expect so he asked. Moreover, a lot of others wanted to know when these would end. Du Zhizhuo only looked at them before leaving. He didn't answer them because he himself didn't know the answer. Whether the whole building would explode or if they would be stormed by the private army, he had no idea.

Plan-wise, they should be escaping through the exits. However, he just received word from Control that their prepared exits were all compromised. They were all being kept inside the facility for a reason he didn't want to hear. He had a feeling that it was going to be awful.

The panel on the door actually moved, and they saw nothing that peered inside. However, Mian Qingtao was shocked when he felt strange energy just outside the door. An entity was looking at them. One of Liu Xiaodan's friends actually came to check up on them?

"I heard that Guangru's mother had arrived..." A voice came from outside, and the door opened. What shocked them was that a black bird King was standing in front of them. Its goggle eyes were very familiar even to Chuan Nayi. Wasn't this… the King that almost killed Li Feng days ago?

Chuan Nayi, however, rose from her seat. She didn't want this King to cause trouble to everyone just because of her cowardice. She then began walking towards the black bird. "Who's calling me?"

"Guangru's mother?" Nurse Miao and everyone who had seen the child were stunned. Guangru had a mother? Wait, he did call Liu Xiaodan 'father' so there should be a mother. However, Nurse Miao was very clear about one thing… Guangru was not a real child. 

Well, taking a look at the person upfront, the mother should know that her child was not a real one.

Chuan Nayi left the room under their gazes, and God Raven closed the door physically with its hand. It sized up Chuan Nayi, and it was already getting strange feels having her stand before it. This woman could straight up look in the eyes of a ghost king. 

The black bird then moved away and beckoned her to the spot where she came out. This time, the Mother was also in the hallway.

"Is there anything you need from Guangru? I have to find him first." Chuan Nayi could tell that these two were probably after what Guangru could do or give them. If he could give a red seed of condensed blood to Ye Ling, he could offer something close to these two as well.

"I can't demand anything from Guangru right now." God Raven gurgled its laughter. "The arrogant beast has been sealed prem.a.t.u.r.ely. That shaman kid is trying to fix whatever it is. Listen to me, woman. I came looking for you because I need you to talk to that child as soon as he wakes up. The longer we stay here, the longer time they had to summon the black things. We can't handle all of those..."

"The black things are all demons that had been enslaved with the white shamans." The Mother snorted. She knew that this was going to happen the moment the maze formation would break. That was why she was protecting it from Abbadon and the others who tried to break it. Not only was it really very strong, but it would also weaken those who failed. Without a personal pantry, how else would the Mother be among the transcending Kings?

She then looked around, her eyes landing on that room with a seal visible to her eyes. "Hmph, that guardian had been purified. I wonder who could have done so. No matter, if we have to wait for Guangru to be unsealed, then so be it. I also sense no one else among us aside from Abbadon..."

"There is no one else anymore. We're the only ones left." God Raven sighed. He was lucky he went to find Liu Xiaodan, or else he would be one of those unlucky ones. Moreover, he turned to the Mother. "You broke through. Quickly find a way to train your abilities. The stronger you get, the better chances we have. I have yet to digest everything I have gotten. I need a human nest..."
