Chapter 802: Chapter 639: Advancing into Liya’s Bedroom
Ten Lords Chat Group, the information is too scarce, and the investigation falls into extreme confusion. So we can only see what the NPC can uncover.
The City Lord, City Beauty, and the bishops of Oak City, along with the special-grade forensic detectives, all gathered at the broadcasting station to observe the Crow Master’s last crime scene, attempting to decipher his mood at the time of the broadcast through the handwriting in his script—was it calm and steady or frenzied and heated.
Gabriel also woke up from unconsciousness, and the slap mark on her face became a subject for forensic study.
Soon, the forensic detectives provided a professional assessment: "Ladies and gentlemen, the preliminary judgment is that the script was written quickly and decisively, without a trace of hesitation. However, when writing the names of two prominent figures, the handwriting was deliberately distorted, expressing the author’s disdain without fear. As for the crimes, the handwriting was light and fluent, reflecting a very relaxed mindset, showing no genuine remorse..."
"The wound on Miss Sage’s face seems to have been severely impacted, but the pressure on the vascular region was perfectly controlled, leaving no swelling effects, indicating that the author harbored no resentment. This slap subtly expressed the author’s homesickness..."
...
The Ten Lords were utterly bewildered: "Is this the strength of Oak City’s forensic detectives?"
Gabriel said absent-mindedly, "So, the Crow Master didn’t go mad? It wasn’t due to any mind control by the Demonic Puppet?"
Sariel said in surprise, "Then the only clue is this so-called King of Oak Demonic Puppet. Should we hint at this to them?"
Everyone unanimously opposed: "No way!"
Gabriel retorted irritably, "How can such a secret be allowed to spread everywhere by NPCs?"
Sariel also retorted irritably, "But this secret is known by Curry! If one Curry knows, then a group of them knows, holding such a disgusting secret is like having a pocket full of crap!"
Michael said, "Calm down. If we don’t hint at them, we can’t move forward. It is necessary to let City Beauty Liya know alone."
Gabriel laughed, "Exactly, later I’ll have a one-on-one talk with the City Beauty."
Just then, the steward reported, "Unreliable news came from the platform again, saying Chun was involved in planning the Crow Master incident."
Pu!!
Sariel burst out laughing on the spot, "That’s right, just as I thought, it’s Chun! Wherever Chun is, trouble is bound to happen."
Everyone fell silent.
Sariel asked in astonishment, "What’s wrong?"
Gabriel retorted irritably, "Does the person who sent this news know Chun’s current state? Do they know where he’s detained?"
Sariel asked in astonishment, "So what? Chun is parasitized by the Sea Enchantress, and the Sea Enchantress’s body isn’t monitored or sealed, so it’s entirely possible!"
Metatron sighed, "Could it be possible that trouble always happens wherever Chun is, and Curry deliberately uses this rule as a cover to stir things up?"
Raphael sighed, "This time I’m certain it’s the Curry group led by Alpha Tata, as only Curry would be eager to clear suspicion, hence spreading this confusing message first."
Sariel retorted irritably, "Chun could also use your thinking, anticipating your anticipation, and sent this message himself!"
Gabriel sighed, "Don’t mention it anymore, isn’t it just twenty times tomorrow morning? Schedule it!"
Sariel laughed heartily, "That’s more like it..."
...
At 10 o’clock, the alarm clock woke Chun up.
Chun, who didn’t sleep at all, once asleep, was really reluctant to open his eyes. Indeed, Xiaoqin was overly eager last night.
At this moment, Aziza’s voice sounded: "Granny, is the medicine ready?"
The old lady sighed, "Yes! Please bring this pot of medicine in front of the Warrior’s vine."
Aziza brought the pot in front of Chun.
Chun suddenly realized the purple steam rising from this medicine looked very familiar. Isn’t this the purple from the earth mire in front of Dibilon’s seat?
Chun asked in shock, "Am I going to drink all of it through the vine?"
He felt his vines had no capacity for eating or drinking at all.
The old lady laughed, "Yes!"
As soon as the vine extended, it uncontrollably absorbed the liquid like a sponge absorbing water!
—System notification: You begin to absorb the Essence of Earth Life, and your vine state is greatly enhanced, gaining the special skill "Absorption"!
Truly worthy of the Earth Mother! It’s definitely not an ordinary earthly herb.
This special skill likely means absorbing like the Earth Lotus, whether it’s blood or mana. At least it’s capable of eating and drinking, right?
Soon, the entire pot of medicine was absorbed by the vine. Chun clearly noticed a change in the nearest dozens of meters of vine, but the other parts of the vine remained quite ordinary.
The old lady asked, "Do you feel a core area has emerged? A sensation of power gathering?"
Chun tried to manipulate it, and it felt like a water column in a pipe... no, like hydraulic pressure in a hose, akin to the bicep flexed by a bent arm!
Chun exclaimed in joy, "Yes!"
The old lady sighed, "This is the power from your fierce battle with the four flowers. This force can also enter your consciousness dream space with you, but it can only last for a day. After a day, how much remains and what you can absorb and perceive depends on you."
Chun tried to further adjust, but the operation wasn’t very flexible. His view was restricted to this segment, making it hard to freely switch to the City Beauty’s bedroom view or the apartment dormitory view.
"Granny, I’m not adept at manipulating it!"
The old lady laughed, "So, I decided to go with you. Don’t judge me by how little I could do in the puppet space earlier, but as long as the Essence of Earth Life is around, I will become a strong assist to you."
Chun was overjoyed, "Thank you very much, Granny."
The old lady also told Nancy and Aziza, "Please take care here for a night. If anything happens, hmm... it shouldn’t be much of a big deal."
Aziza laughed, "Alright, consider it a free one-night stay at an inn."
The old lady laughed, "It’s quite simple, I’m a bit sorry about that. Well then, Warrior, let’s set off."
Then Mina took the old lady’s spirit and also brought her into the vine.
Chun began to move towards the City Flower Mansion, and the whole stretch of power followed like a long snake.
The old lady started instructing, "Relax the tail section, concentrate in the middle section, otherwise disjunction of power may occur..."
Well, the actual operation is a bit tricky...
Chun asked, "I’m worried the power might be exposed along the way, is there any way to keep a low profile?"
The old lady laughed, "Tighten the center, relax the surroundings..."
Is this like holding in pee?
Finally, after an hour, Chun’s operation became much more adept under continuous guidance, and he arrived at the City Flower Mansion.
The City Beauty’s bedroom was dimly lit. It was 11 PM now, and under normal circumstances, she should be asleep.
Anyway, it was time to test the holding-in-pee technique. Chun proceeded cautiously all the way until he reached the bedroom’s barrier.
With just a light touch, Chun felt the barrier begin to ripple.
The old lady whispered, "Let me handle this."
Indeed, the crucial moment of battle is no time for a rookie to practice.
