Chapter 117 Strange Pattern



Only after seeing Xiao Changhen fall asleep did Yan Baibai breathe a sigh of relief and opened a White Rabbit candy and ate it.

This candy was requested by Yan Baibai and the system. At first, she just asked and didn’t expect the system to actually deliver it to her.

"System, I didn't see the child from the house across the street just now. Where is he now?"

Yan Baibai began to change out of her men's clothes quietly, and then began to deal with the questions that were left over from just now.

"Host, because the other party is not a person related to the mission, after exceeding a certain range, this system will not be able to see what he is doing." The system began to report weakly.

"In other words, you haven't monitored him since I went out to the forest to collect herbs!" Yan Baibai's face darkened on the spot: "Check if he did anything to Xiao Changhen while I was away!"

"Okay, host." Because Xiao Changhen was the protagonist of the mission, the system had the right to review what happened to him before. After playing it at double speed, it quickly reviewed what happened to Xiao Changhen after Yan Baibai left. "Host, just like the shopkeeper said, the protagonist of the mission woke up once not long after you left. After that, because he was weak, he was carried back to his room by the display cabinet and the waiter. Oh, and the shopkeeper was kind enough to call a doctor over."

Yan Baibai was surprised that the shopkeeper would call the doctor over. All she could do now was to express her gratitude in her heart and return the favor when she made a lot of money.

"System, has the boy opposite appeared next to Xiao Changhen?" This is the question that Yan Baibai cares about most.

"No." The system answered with certainty, because it did not see the little boy's family in the playback video.

Hearing this answer, Yan Baibai finally felt relieved. Perhaps because she was really tired today, Yan Baibai suddenly felt a little sleepy. She glanced at the medicine bowl on the table, wondering whether to take the bowl down and put it down first or take a nap first.

Knock knock knock——

At this time, there was another knock on the door. Yan Baibai looked at Xiao Changhen lying on the bed and frowned slightly. He immediately tiptoed to open the door.

"Uh..." The waiter at the door obviously didn't expect the door to open suddenly. Then he saw Yan Baibai with her hair disheveled and she had changed back into women's clothes. Remembering how she dressed when she took the medicine bowl, he knew at a glance that Yan Baibai had just changed her clothes. His face turned red and he quickly lowered his head.

"Shh~" Yan Baibai put her index finger between her lips, made a silencing gesture, and lowered her voice: "Little brother, please speak softly, don't wake up my husband."

"Sorry... I didn't mean it." The waiter stuttered, and without looking up, he continued to state his purpose: "I, I'm here to collect the medicine bowls. The shopkeeper asked me to ask if you need any help here?"

"Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper." Yan Baibai returned to her room, took the medicine bowl from the table, and handed it to the waiter. She then said, "When my husband gets better, he and I will go and thank the shopkeeper in person."

"Well, okay...ok." The waiter didn't seem to be very good at communicating with others. He nodded and took the plate from Yan Baibai's hand.

"Would you like some candy?" Yan Baibai looked at the waiter in front of her, who would have been in junior high school in her previous life, and handed him a White Rabbit candy. Having lived two lives and gained a wealth of life experience, she always felt like an adult when she saw a teenager like this.

"No, thanks. The shopkeeper doesn't allow us to accept things from customers privately." The waiter said this, but his eyes looked curiously at the beautifully packaged candy in Yan Baibai's hand.

"It's just a candy. The shopkeeper is so nice, he won't say anything." Yan Baibai smiled, took a step forward and gently placed the candy in her hand on the tray.

As long as she doesn't say it and the waiter doesn't say it himself, no one will know about such a small thing. Yan Baibai feels that the waiter is really sincere. Maybe this is why the shopkeeper recruited him.

Seeing that the waiter was still about to refuse, Yan Baibai quickly closed the door and tiptoed back into the room. While she was still feeling sleepy, Yan Baibai took off her coat and went straight to bed. She was really tired today, and she quickly let herself fall into the darkness.

The waiter was about to say thank you, but all he could see was the closed door. He was stunned. He looked down at the tray in his hands, automatically ignoring the medicine bowl with some medicine residue on it. His eyes stayed on the candy, and he smiled a slightly silly smile.

The waiter turned around and just raised his foot to leave, his eyes suddenly dulled for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth dropped. His face, which was originally slightly shy, turned cold in an instant, and he slowly lowered his raised foot.

The waiter looked back at the closed door with a gloomy expression, then turned back again, holding the tray with one hand and touching the blush on the waiter's face that had not completely disappeared with the other hand, and his face became a little strange.

"Tsk!" The waiter let out a small sound and his face turned cold again. He suddenly glanced towards the door of the room in front of him on the left, and his gaze finally stopped on the candy on the tray.

The hand that was touching his face reached out to the candy on the tray. He picked up the candy and looked around for a while, then held it in front of his nose and sniffed it. After confirming what it was, he put the candy back on the tray.

The waiter raised his foot again, but not heading downstairs, but directly towards the left front door opposite.

When the waiter arrived at the door, it was easy to open. A couple was standing inside, but their eyes were dull.

"Hold it."

The waiter threw the candy to the two of them and left humming a song.

Yan Baibai had no idea what was happening outside the door from beginning to end. At this time, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

As for the system, since Yan Baibai's body is now just that of an ordinary person and his mental strength has also become much weaker, it helped Yan Baibai to search for herbs today. After seeing Yan Baibai rest, it threw a protective shield into their room and fell into a short hibernation.

In stark contrast to the quiet of their room lay a city hundreds of miles away, shrouded in a veil of death. The city was built around a massive mountain, atop which sat a luxurious and noble palace. Beyond it, stretching for dozens of miles, were houses of varying sizes. A closer look revealed a black cloth painted with special runes in the main hall of each house, beneath which stood offerings of fruits, vegetables, and incense.

The fruits are fresh, and the incense is burning continuously. If Yan Baibai saw this pattern, she would definitely feel familiar, because she must have seen this pattern before. When she was cooling Xiao Changhen physically, the pattern was on Xiao Changhen's chest.

It was a black crescent moon, and a sharp sword passed through the moon. Behind the two was a pair of cold blood-red eyes.
