"Well, we can't rule out these two possibilities..." I said. "However, I believe this isn't a single-choice question; both possibilities could exist. If that place has no connection to the Bronze Smelting Technique or the Yin Master and Yang Master, then it would be impossible to create the Soul Mirror you mentioned."
"Nevertheless, the urgent matter at hand is to find a way to eliminate some of the marks on me. Otherwise, with the current strength of the Void Spirit within me, it won't be long before it breaks through the seal of Xie. Our resources are already depleted, and if we wait until then, I fear I will become a wandering soul with no power to resist."
As I spoke, I couldn't help but reach up to touch the mark on my neck. The Death Apostle listened, his brow furrowed in concern. "Your issue is also what I've been worried about. While we want to crack this Book of Mysteries as soon as possible, given our current state, I'm afraid we might face unforeseen complications that we cannot handle."
"Regardless, we need to wait until I've eliminated some of the marks before we can proceed with our next plan." With that, I casually picked up the remote control from the Tea Table and turned on the television, hoping to find some news reports that might provide clues for removing my marks.
I switched to the local News Channel, where yesterday's news was being broadcast: "Last night, a Meteor Fall Incident occurred ten kilometers west of our city's outskirts. The event caused extensive landslides in the surrounding mountains, and a massive Pit appeared at the center of the meteorite crater."
Due to its location in a suburban area, there were no reported casualties; however, the meteorite itself was nowhere to be found. Consequently, relevant experts are conducting further investigations. We will continue to follow this story.
The screen then shifted back to the studio, where the host adjusted their notes and said, "Thank you to our reporters for that coverage. Now let's move on to another piece of news..."
The scene changed again to Huifeng District, where a Female Reporter in a black suit stood in front of the camera holding a microphone. "Last night, a vicious Homicide Case occurred in Huifeng District. The victim was a 35-year-old male living alone; he had been dead for some time when discovered. A foul odor emanated from his home, prompting nearby residents to alert the police..."
Living alone and dead for some time without anyone noticing—could it be suicide? I pondered as I continued listening to the report.
"When police arrived at the scene, initial assessments indicated that the victim had been murdered rather than committing suicide. The weapon was a fifteen-centimeter-long knife. The victim suffered a fatal brain injury from this knife. However, strangely enough, police also found an obvious Blood Writing beneath the victim's body, seemingly written by him during the attack; due to its chaotic handwriting, specific clues are still under analysis..."
Immediately after that, an image of the so-called Blood Writing appeared in the lower left corner of the screen. As I focused on it, I felt a chill run down my spine—this was not just any Blood Writing; it was clearly a Nine Star Diagram.
"What do you think?" I turned to ask the Death Apostle beside me. He looked equally puzzled, his eyes fixed intently on the Nine Star Diagram displayed on the television.
"Could this person be related to Yang Master?" Seeing Death Apostle silent, I pressed on.
"Impossible. If it were Yang Master's doing, they would definitely have destroyed the body and erased all traces. The murderer must be someone else. I think this matter is definitely connected to you," Death Apostle replied.
"Why do you say that?"
"Don't you realize that the house shown in the news looks a lot like the one we used to live in?"
After hearing this, I hurriedly turned back to the television to look at the house again, but the news had already ended. In a rush, I got up and moved to the side, sitting in front of the computer to search for that news report.
Upon checking, I found that it wasn't just similar to our previous room; it was actually the very room we had lived in. "It seems you're right. Someone seems to be targeting us, but they don't know we've moved. From this point alone, we can conclude that it definitely isn't Yang Master's doing."
Sitting in front of the computer, I stared at the blurred photos of the crime scene, my mind racing with thoughts. Who could want to harm us? Moreover, this person must be connected to something like Yin-Yang Technique... Could it be...
With that thought, both Death Apostle and I blurted out simultaneously, "Gu Kai?!"
"Do you think it could be him?" I asked.
Death Apostle appeared hesitant. "He's the only one I can think of, but why would he want to harm us? With his abilities, he could kill us anytime and anywhere."
"That's true, but I can't figure out why he would want to hurt us. He has even helped us multiple times before; he doesn't seem like someone who would want to be our enemy." I was puzzled, but at this moment, he was the only person we could think of.
"Forget it; overthinking won't help. Let's go directly to the scene and see if we can find any clues," I said as I stood up.
The Death Apostle glanced at me, then looked outside the house. "Where are you going, Baymax? Be careful not to get mistaken for a suspect."
"Who said I was going to barge into the crime scene? I just want to take a look since it's already been a while since the incident occurred. If I don't check it out soon, there won't be any clues left to find." With that, I had Death Apostle bring the book, Divine Anomalies Classic·Nine Star Life and Death Diagram, inside with me.
We carefully placed the book in the same spot where I had originally kept the Box, trying not to disturb Yao Long who was resting. Before leaving, I glanced at Yao Long and saw his chest rising and falling steadily, completely unaware of our presence.
I thought to myself, he must really be exhausted. Normally, with his sharp insight, he would have woken up by now, but he showed no signs of movement.
After leaving the room, I gently closed the door behind me and walked to the living room with Death Apostle. Only then did I ask him, "So, are you coming with me or staying at home?"
Death Apostle pondered for a moment and replied, "How about I go with you? After all, Yang Master already knows I'm alive now. Plus, it's daytime; they probably wouldn't dare do anything to me in a crowded place."
Just then, Li Zhisheng, who had been silently leaning against a chair, suddenly interjected, "What can't Yang Master and his crew do? Killing an ordinary person in broad daylight without a sound is as easy as pie. Have you forgotten about that shadowy figure we encountered before?"
