Book 3: Chapter 20: Target

No. At this point thats still a mystery. Ruan Zhan said. I suddenly felt that Yang Mu You doing all this wasnt for Xiao Xia.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

How so?

When Xiao Xia came to pick me up tonight, I saw a paper crane. It wasnt an ordinary one, but rather one being controlled by sorcery that could fly.

Fly? That I havent seen. However, I did see one on a table next to us when Xiao Xia and I were eating once. Xiao Xias reaction was very overboard, almost to the extent of disgust. Is that Yang Mu You or whatever also responsible for them?

Very possible. Ruan Zhan frowned again. There are many things that seem illogical or forced. However, once its viewed from a different angle, it all makes sense. Think about it. When we were dealing with Bloody Mary, you stepped on a bunch of ruined paper. You even said the paper was so hard it cut your foot. Remember?

This matter happened over two months ago and Wan Li couldnt recall it right away. However, since the events of that day left a deep impression on his mind, he seemed to remember something like that happening when Ruan Zhan brought it up.

Was that also a paper crane? You could even tell when it was ruined to such an extent? Fine, lets imagine that was a paper crane. This means that those things had been appearing around Xiao Xia for at least two months, or perhaps around us? Wan Li asked.

It wasnt just one. It shouldve been a whole batch.

What do they do?

Dont you feel those paper cranes are a little different? Their eyes, for example?

Wan Li thought about it. Now that you mention it, their eyes are weirdly red. It is a little strange.

Think about it some more. The eye of my formation was broken a few days ago using Xiao Xias blood. We figured Hong Hao Hao used what she obtained during the mugging. But thinking about it more carefully, this would mean they were planning way too far ahead. Could they really have predicted things so far and harmed Xiao Xia in advance?

That would be a little too miraculous. Unless

Unless they had other uses for her blood. For example, to draw the paper cranes eyes.

What sorcery is it this time? Wan Li was a little shocked.

But how do we investigate without any clues? Wan Li said. The most bizarre thing about this case is why those women would turn to ash and leave a blood print behind. If they were burnt, there would only be ashes left, and certain physical factors would be required. Its completely impossible. Furthermore, why are they doing this? What do they get from those women? If those three brothers appeared, are they the culprits? And how are they doing it? Even ghosts cant do such things, right? Are they silencing witnesses?

They were definitely silencing witnesses. However, the police can no longer handle this matter. Someone very powerful is manipulating things. Ruan Zhan glanced at the silent Xiao Xia. We have to handle it ourselves. Otherwise, there would be no end to things.

Tell us what you think we should do. I also want to be involved. They treated those women too heartlessly! Wan Li said. Im guessing you need helpers.

Ruan Zhan nodded.

He knew Wan Li had always been a warmhearted and talkative person who loved helping others. It made sense for him to become a psychologist. However, to still have thoughts of improving everyones lives after growing up was laughable yet also hard to come by.

What are you planning to do? Xiao Xia spoke up.

Probably use fire to fight fire. Ruan Zhan stood up. I have to make some preparations. Well use a soul summoning spell to ask these aggrieved spirits what happened.

Hey, thats pretty good. Very direct. Wan Li approved. Whose ghost are we summoning? How do we summon them?

First well try summoning the victims of the Flower Society. Well do it at Gu Yu Fangs house.

Try? Xiao Xia noticed the uncertainty in his words.

We can only give it a try. Its not that I cant do it. Im just afraid someone might have acted first and captured them, or perhaps just. Ruan Zhan didnt finish his thought but the other two understood his meaning.

If theres no other way, I still have another idea.

What is it?

The mysteries of heaven must not be divulged. Wan Li answered Xiao Xia in place of Ruan Zhan, acting profound on purpose. But why Gu Yu Fangs house? She wants to harm Xiao Xia. Wouldnt the yin aura be too strong there?

Were precisely going to use the yin aura and resentment there. Ruan Zhan said. Xiao Xia will come along as well, but theres no need to be afraid.

Although Yang Mu You was the target, there were still many unsolved mysteries. If everything was being manipulated by him, why would he create the Flower Society? It definitely wasnt something simple like riches and pleasures. Before the matter was cleared up, Xiao Xia couldnt be left by herself. It would be too dangerous.
