Lin Mingchang feigned astonishment and swiftly stepped in front of Shen Tong. "Mr. Mo, are you planning to recreate the grandeur of ancient times? I wonder how the progress is going?"
"It is nearing completion. At Tomorrow Night's concert, you will be able to see its true form," he replied. Turning to Shen Tong, he added, "Especially you, Miss Shen. I will arrange front-row seats for you, where you can experience the charm of the Konghou most directly."
Shen Tong felt a surge of caution within her but maintained a composed exterior. "Thank you for your kind invitation, Mr. Mo. We will definitely attend."
During the tour, Mo Wen enthusiastically introduced the history and characteristics of various musical instruments. Shen Tong remained attentive, sensing a closed space beneath the entire Brick-and-Tile Cottage, where the Death Qi and malevolent energy were particularly dense.
As she casually moved to several corners of the room under the guise of observing ancient instruments, she attempted to ascertain the extent of the underground space.
As the tour approached its conclusion, Mo Wen suddenly leaned closer to Shen Tong and whispered, "Miss Shen, your eyes are quite special."
Shen Tong instinctively took a step back, her right eye narrowing slightly. "It's just a congenital issue; it’s nothing serious."
Mo Wen smiled knowingly. "Some 'issues' are actually gifts from heaven. At Tomorrow Night's concert, I believe Miss Shen will have a unique experience."
He handed Lin Mingchang two gold-embossed invitations. "You two, eight o'clock sharp tomorrow. Don't be late."
After bidding farewell to Mo Wen, as they stepped out of the estate's gate, Shen Tong pressed her fingers to her temples, her face pale.
Lin Mingchang quickly supported her as they hurried away until they were sure no one was following. They paused in a secluded alley.
"He knows," Shen Tong said softly. "He knows I can Wang Qi."
"Are you sure?"
"There’s an abundance of Death Qi and malevolent energy in his basement..." Shen Tong leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. "But I have a feeling those energies were deliberately shown to me, like a trap waiting for me to step in."
The two rushed back to Shen Tong's small courtyard, where Xiaoshuang was anxiously pacing back and forth. Upon seeing them return, she immediately approached them. "What happened? Any discoveries?"
Lin Mingchang briefly recounted their visit with Mo Wen, emphasizing Mo Wen's focus on Shen Tong's right eye.
"What should we do now?" Xiaoshuang asked anxiously. "Should we report this to the Police Station?"
"There might be Gui Xu Society members within the Police Station as well," Lin Mingchang pondered for a moment. "If news leaks out, the consequences could be dire. It seems we have no choice but to take risks. I will arrange for a few trustworthy officers as backup, but ultimately we must rely on ourselves."
Just then, the courtyard door swung open, and Fang Zigui rushed in with a medicine box in hand.
"I have made some progress," he said as he placed the box on the table and opened it to reveal several small bottles. "I’ve concocted a universal antidote formula that can handle most hallucinogenic substances. If Mo Wen uses any drugs during the concert with Emperor's Konghou, we might still be able to protect ourselves. However, there are only a few pills available, and they must be used at the early stages of poisoning to be effective."
He then pulled out a paper package and carefully unfolded it to reveal a grayish-white powder inside. "This is a special medicinal powder that changes color when it encounters most hallucinogenic toxins; it can help us identify the path of any toxic gas diffusion."
At last, he took out four pairs of cotton earplugs. "These are specially made earplugs coated with medication that can reduce the impact of sound waves, but they cannot completely block them, so we cannot stay for too long."
Lin Mingchang distributed the medicated earplugs to each person. "Tomorrow night might be a tough battle, so everyone must be careful."
