Chapter 52 The Fish That Can't Be Found

The public security department expressed its most sincere gratitude to Gu Changfeng's family.

Although the little boy who was successfully rescued was frightened, he was not seriously injured because he was found in time.

But they also apologized because this was the first missing child to be found.

Police suspect that the criminals will carry out a large-scale transfer operation today.

Therefore, all major entry and exit ports of Halo Star were temporarily closed until all inspections were completed.

All hotel guests were also temporarily asked to leave, pending further investigation.

**

Fortunately, the streets of Halo Star are still crowded with people.

In the sunshine, colorful balloons fly in the air and street performers perform dazzling magic tricks.

After being praised by the police officer, An Zhi's eyes were narrowed with smiles and they didn't close for a long time.

The child looked around, now excited again. She was held in Gu Jinyan's arms, waving her hands restlessly, pointing at all kinds of novel toys.

"Brother, look! It's a flying bird!"

“And donuts!”

"Can I have one?"

"You can only eat one. If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt."

"If it doesn't taste good and I can't finish it, can I buy another one?"

"No, An An."

"What if An An only takes small bites? Really just small bites."

“…”

"Don't listen to him, uncle will buy them for you. Even 800 will do. Our little Anzhi brushes his teeth every day, right?"

"Um!"

**

An Zhi ran to a glass dome holding the giant donut he had just bought.

There are fewer people here and they are spread out.

The cub held the donut in her hand. The soft marshmallow ball piled up on one end of the donut almost exceeded the top of her head and trembled in the air.

The interior of the dome is shrouded in special light, and countless glowing bubbles fall from the sky, making it feel like being in a dreamy ocean.

An Zhi looked up at the stained glass windows inlaid in the dome. His small figure was shrouded in colorful light and shadow, like an elf who had strayed into the mortal world.

Many eyes around were attracted by this cute cub and the super giant donut in his arms.

A girl poked her friend's arm and said, "Look at that kid over there, how cute he is! He's so cute! My heart is melting."

Her best friend, knowing her temper well, looked in her direction and asked, "Are you really attracted to that internet-famous donut that has people lining up for an hour to buy it?"

Although she said this, her gaze lingered on the cub for a while.

"So sweet... huh? Is there something wrong with her?"

The cub was originally looking up. Normally, a child of this age would quickly be attracted by the surroundings, but she did not move for a long time.

Immediately, a young man ran to the child and half-knelt in front of her.

"An An, An An!"

"Little fish... so many... so many little fish are crying..." An Zhi's voice was so thin, even more ethereal than a dream talk.

The child's gaze seemed to penetrate the dazzling light and shadow in front of him, looking deeper and farther.

Gu Jinyan immediately hugged her and said, "An An, what's wrong? What did you hear?"

"Brother... they said it was too hot and too crowded, so they were hidden..."

An Zhi tightly grasped Gu Jinyan's collar, buried her little head in his shoulder and shook it, "It's not a bright place, it's dark, like it's underground..."

Gu Changfeng applied some mint ointment he had just bought on An Zhi.

Feeling the cool mint smell, An Zhi quickly came to his senses.

She looked around and pointed towards the exit uncertainly.

"It seems to be there?"

The surrounding tourists were also attracted by the movement here.

Gu Jinyan's expression suddenly changed.

However, the surrounding tourists were attracted by the sudden sound made by An Zhi.

A young mother with a child frowned and whispered to her companion, "What's wrong with this child? He's saying something weird in public."

A nearby staff member heard the commotion and came over. It was a young girl in a festive uniform with a sweet smile on her face. "Sir, is the child feeling unwell? This is all light and shadow effects, nothing else."

Gu Changfeng immediately stepped forward and said to the staff in a deep voice, "My child can sense things that ordinary people cannot.

She just mentioned that there are children hidden here from recent disappearances, right down there in the ground."

The smile on the staff member's face froze for a moment, and then became a little forced.

Are you kidding? The museum has been preparing for the light show for half a day. There are so many visitors coming in and out every day. If we delay any longer, we will waste most of the day.

She looked at Gu Changfeng's serious expression, then looked at An Zhi, who was hugging Gu Jinyan tightly, with a pale face, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes:

"Sir, are you kidding me? This is the main venue of the Light Show. How could something like what you're saying happen here?

The basement only contains our equipment room and storage area, no one is allowed in."

Among the tourists watching nearby, some began to whisper, and some even laughed softly.

"People nowadays are really like that. They blame everything on their children and just let their own imagination run wild."

"That's right, what could such a young child know? And in the basement, is this a play?"

"I guess they're all scared by this morning's disappearance. The adults are all so nervous."

"I'm not lying! There really are little fish crying!" An Zhi suddenly struggled out of Gu Jinyan's arms. She mustered up her courage and pointed to that corner: "They're crying! They said they were so sad! They're hidden! Right there!"

An Zhi had never spoken so loudly in an announcement, and his face turned red.

But she saw and heard the crying of those "little fish", and this pain was more unbearable to her than the ridicule of others.

She was no longer the silent child on the spaceship who was afraid of being treated as a monster, nor was she the timid child who only told her brother in a whisper in the hotel.

The cub's voice was still very immature, but she shouted with all her strength.

"They're right down there!"

However, the staff member's expression completely darkened, and his tone became cold and hard:

"Little friend, please stop fooling around here! You're disturbing other tourists.

If your child is unwell, please get her out of here immediately!"

"Otherwise, I will contact security and ask you to leave!"

The eyes around him all looked down vaguely.

Gu Jinyan frowned and was about to speak.

Gu Changfeng raised his hand to stop him and directly called the contact number left by Officer Emily this morning.

"This is Gu Changfeng. My child heard the 'voice' again at the Light Show Dome. She said there's a child hiding in the maintenance tunnel under the dome. Please send someone over here immediately! Right now!"
