Chapter 102: Pity

Chapter 102

Song Jixing's spiritual sense swept quickly, and he soon discovered a corpse in an abandoned amusement park not far from the You family.

The two tiptoed through the amusement park and walked directly towards You Beibei's location.

You Beibei was in a small cabin near the amusement park. The cabin door was overgrown with weeds, and the interior was piled high with abandoned items.

You Beibei lay on the left side of the cabin, her leg still pinned under a heavy object, next to long-dried bloodstains.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it seemed that a fallen metal object had impaled her leg, causing her to bleed out and perish.

You Beibei's spirit followed the two inside. Seeing her own body lying on the ground, she was so frightened that she hid behind Song Jixing, extremely flustered. "Mom, what's that on the ground? I'm so scared!"

"Mom, can we leave?" You Beibei pleaded loudly in tears.

Shen Feixian squatted down to comfort You Beibei, "Come on, uncle will take you out to play, okay?"

Tears rolled down You Beibei's face and fell to the ground without kicking up any dust.

"I want mom!"

Song Jixing sent a wave of spiritual power into You Beibei's body, then squatted down to soothe her spirit as well. "Beibei, you go out first. Mom will come find you later, okay?"

You Beibei looked at Song Jixing, "Will mom really come?"

"She will. Trust mom. Mom will always love you."

Hearing Song Jixing's words, You Beibei wiped her tears and nodded, following Shen Feixian out.

After the two had left, Song Jixing formed seals with her hands, wisps of light spreading from the long-desiccated corpse on the ground to the wider surroundings.

Before long, strands of pale, translucent light gathered in Song Jixing's palm. She channeled them all into her palm.

Having finished this, Song Jixing walked out to Shen Feixian standing to one side.

You Beibei rushed over again, standing by Song Jixing's leg.

First was dad. The phone rang a few times with no answer.

Considering busy adults, the police then called the grandparents' number. Still no one picked up. The call that finally went through was to mom.

After a few rings, the other end of the watch phone was finally answered.

Even from afar, Song Jixing could hear Bai Ping's agitated voice. "Beibei, you finally called mom! Mom missed you so much!"

The voice on the phone was choked with sobs...

The young female police officer holding the watch was silent for a good while before speaking, seemingly not expecting such a response when the call connected.

"Hello, this is the Old City Police Station..."

Song Jixing was asked by the police to go to the station to give her statement. Before getting into the police car, she saw a familiar license plate number, and Bai Ping running out from that car towards the amusement park.

The weather had turned a bit cold. Wearing only a sweater, she rushed from the car.

You Beibei's spirit was still following Song Jixing. She stared blankly.

But the moment Bai Ping ran past, she seemed to sense something, glancing in Bai Ping's direction but not going over.

Song Jixing opened her clasped hand, and white light flew into You Beibei's body. Her soul seemed slightly more substantial than before.

These were the last remnants of You Beibei's scattered soul that Song Jixing had managed to gather. Her abilities were limited, so this was all she could retrieve, perhaps enough to jog You Beibei's memories.

You Beibei looked up at Song Jixing, dazed for a good while, before calling her "mom" once more.

Song Jixing sent her voice to You Beibei through spiritual energy, "Come with me. I'll take you to find your mom tonight?"

You Beibei nodded, flashing Song Jixing a sweet smile.

Just as Song Jixing had sat down in the police car, an extremely miserable wail floated out from the abandoned amusement park, like a haunting soundtrack for the desolate scenery.

Attracted by the cry, You Beibei in the police car looked out of the window. She kept staring until the car had driven far away.
