"Confess?" Sheng Ai, still in a blurry human form, tilted her head.

That appearance was really eerie.

Will Dad really turn himself in?

“Of course, Dad keeps his word.” Sheng Shi nodded. “It’s just that Dad is smelly and hungry right now.”

"Could you let Dad come inside first, have a good meal, take a shower, change his clothes, and then go turn himself in?"

"If Dad doesn't keep his word, you can do whatever you want to him, kill him or torture him."

“Xiao Ai loves her family the most.” Sheng Ai said in a rigid, machine-like voice, “Xiao Ai would never kill or dismember her father.”

“If Dad doesn’t keep his word, Xiao Ai will send him to the police station or lock him up forever.”

Sheng Shi smiled and said, "It's good that you think that way."

"So, Dad, can I go in to eat and take a shower now?"

Sheng Ai nodded: "Okay."

Then her figure turned into gray mist, merging with the surrounding gray mist.

Sheng Shi put away his smile and climbed into the restaurant with a blank expression to find something to eat.

There was also a lot of food in the bracelet's space.

But those foods were all finished products.

Where can I find delicious, freshly prepared ingredients?

Sheng Shi's family was poor when he was a child, so he often cooked for himself and learned to cook.

He found a packet of noodles, along with eggs, bacon, imported steak, vegetables, and scallions. He fried himself a large, juicy steak and cooked himself a big bowl of noodles, eating with great relish...

"Indeed, it's better to stay outside."

He touched his stomach, muttered to himself as he went upstairs and took a nice, warm bath.

After washing.

He shaved, combed his hair back, changed into a sharp, custom-made suit, and then put on a tie and a tie pin.

He has once again regained his elegant and authoritative demeanor as mayor and councilor...

oh……

With so many crimes against him and a warrant for his arrest, he's definitely out of a job as mayor and councilor...

But it's okay.

Gains and losses, successes and failures are all normal parts of life.

He was not angry about it.

He was only thinking about how to get out of his predicament and make a comeback...

Take out your phone and dial the police.

No signal.

The network is down.

The phone did not display the time.

He didn't care, pushed open the door, and walked forward...

A thick gray fog...

I can't see anything clearly.

He couldn't find the villa's gate for a long time.

"Xiao Ai—" He stopped wandering aimlessly in the gray fog.

"There is no signal at home, and I can't make phone calls."

"Dad can only turn himself in after he leaves the house."

This gray fog seems to possess consciousness.

After he said those words.

The gray mist before his eyes slowly dissipated, carving out a path.

The passageway leads directly to the villa's main gate.

With each step he took, the gray mist behind him automatically gathered, leaving no way back...

A dozen minutes later.

Shengshi walked to the front gate of the villa, where he was only separated from the police officers outside by a fence.

The police officers outside exclaimed in surprise, "A prosperous era?"

What are you doing here?

Sheng Shi raised his hand: "I'm here to turn myself in."

This gray fog has the function of automatically erasing the memories of intruders.

There is no signal or network within tens of meters.

From a distance of several dozen meters, intruders will quickly lose their memories of the fog.

However, intruders can preserve their memories of what they saw and heard in the fog by taking a written record at the villa's entrance...

The officers who remained outside were taking notes.

When they suddenly saw Shengshi emerge, they could hardly believe their eyes...

Of course, the emergence of a prosperous era and the surrender of the guilty party are definitely good things.

only……

Even stranger things happened...

As soon as Sheng Shi stepped out of the villa's gate, his body transformed into one that had stepped inside the villa...

He was always shrouded in gray mist.

These gray fogs are always connected to the gray fog inside the door.

Just like the invisible ropes binding him to the Sheng family villa, impossible to sever, impossible to escape...

Police officers and researchers were horrified.

"What exactly happened?"

"This is truly a ghost story..."

"I got goosebumps all over my body..."

"Is everything we're seeing real? Quick, pinch yourself and see if it hurts..."

Even in his prime, Sheng Shi's brows were furrowed tightly.

He turned around and stepped out of the villa again.

The next second, he reappeared inside the gate, with a large iron gate behind him and endless gray mist in front of him...

He doesn't believe in superstitions.

Turning around again, I stepped out of the villa gate...

Over and over again.

I tried dozens of times.

During this time, the police officers grabbed his hands as he stepped out of the door, trying to pull him back out...

Two officers even grabbed him from both sides, preventing him from turning around...

but.

Nobody knows what happened...

A prosperous era always turns into stepping into it the moment you step out the door...

Finally, a researcher spoke up, panting: "I suspect that this gray fog is preventing the prosperous era from leaving."

Everyone fell silent...

This is the only explanation.

However, Sheng Shi was a wanted criminal, and the police had to take him away.

So this matter...

What to do?

After more than an hour of failures and analysis, Shengshi...

I vaguely understood what was going on.

He was wearing Hang Wei's spatial bracelet.

The spatial bracelet contains the entire Sheng family, and Sheng Ai's rule is that "the whole family must always be together"...

Although Sheng Ai couldn't find any members of the Sheng family, he could sense that they were right beside him.

Therefore, Sheng Ai could allow him to leave the Gray Fog because the rule that "illegal and criminal acts must be punished by law" was higher than "the whole family must stay together forever," but she would not allow other members of the Sheng family to leave the Gray Fog...

"It's weird, it's not that easy to cheat after all..."

"It seems impossible to take anyone else out with me..."

Sheng Shi sighed inwardly, silently walked into the gray fog, entered the main building, and placed the spatial bracelet in Hang Wei's bedroom.

There are many pieces of jewelry in the bedroom.

This spatial bracelet doesn't seem particularly special.

After putting down the spatial bracelet, Shengshi walked out of the main building.

The mist parted before him, leaving a path leading to the main gate.

this time……

He left the Sheng family smoothly and was no longer bothered by the gray fog.

only……

Behind him still followed a tiny, transparent trumpet of love, floating in the air, visible only to him…

In other words, even if he leaves the Sheng family, he can't escape Sheng Ai's grasp...
