The next morning, Bai Luoyu woke up early. Seeing Gu Nianchen was still sleeping, he reached out and shook him awake.
"Wake up, we're about to leave to investigate the black fog. We can't leave this kind of hidden danger behind. Get up quickly!"
Gu Nianchen opened his eyes sleepily and looked at Bai Luoyu: "Are you sure? It's very dangerous! I don't want to take you with me. Why don't you go home and wait for me? I'll go and take care of it, then come find you, okay?"
Bai Luoyu's eyes widened: "No, I must go with you. The man today was not an expert. You would be in danger without me. I can't let you go alone. Besides, how can a heroic young man retreat in the face of danger!"
Gu Nianchen hugged Bai Luoyu and said, "Okay, Young Master Bai, let's go!"
Both of them got up, packed up and set off. Once they had resolved this matter, it would be the most important thing for Gu Nianchen. Then they could take Bai Luoyu to live the life he wanted.
Bai Luoyu also knew that this trip was dangerous. Seeing Gu Nianchen's serious expression, he did not joke around like before, but followed quietly.
When they were almost at Jiang's territory, Gu Nianchen took out his mask and put it on, and Bai Luoyu also put it on.
"Let's enter the main city first, and then see what happens." Gu Nianchen said to Bai Luoyu. Without more information, they could only adapt to the situation.
"Okay! Let's go." Bai Luoyu nodded and followed Gu Nianchen into the city.
Gu Nianchen found a restaurant and the two of them stayed there first.
"This place looks much more prosperous than Yucheng." Bai Luoyu said as he glanced at the street.
"Yes, that's right!" Gu Nianchen nodded. He couldn't bear to see such a beautiful city turning into a ghost town in two years.
"Wait for me here tonight. I'll check it out myself and then make a decision."
"No, I don't agree. You must take me with you!" Bai Luoyu said firmly.
Bai Luoyu was a little angry when he saw Gu Nianchen didn't reply: "Do you still think I'm a child? Don't you want me to take risks?"
Gu Nianchen couldn't answer because he just didn't want him to take risks. This was also Gu Nianchen's goal in following Bai Luoyu into every life.
"But have you ever thought about it? I'm not a child anymore. I treat you as my lover. We should advance and retreat together, right?" Bai Luoyu's eyes turned red as he spoke, which made Gu Nianchen feel distressed.
"I was wrong, Luo Yu, I love you! I will never abandon you to do anything dangerous again! I love you!" In the end, Gu Nianchen felt that he was indeed wrong.
They had never really encountered a life-or-death situation, so his behavior was not that obvious.
But here, his strength cannot be fully exerted, and the original owner's body has been improved to its current limit.
That's why he was so worried about Bai Luoyu, wanted to make decisions for him, and ignored his feelings.
"I love you too! It's a great thing to admit one's mistakes and improve. A child is teachable...well..." Gu Nianchen blocked Bai Luoyu's mouth before he started to show off his talkativeness again.
"Of course I gagged her."
Before Bai Luoyu collapsed, Gu Nianchen let go of Bai Luoyu: "Let's do business first!" After saying that, he nodded Bai Luoyu's head.
"Okay!" Bai Luoyu's eyes regained clarity.
The two wanted to sneak into Jiang's house under the cover of night, but when they got close, they found that the guards here were much stricter than those in Yucheng.
However, exploration was imperative. Gu Nianchen took Bai Luoyu to look for loopholes on the periphery, and finally found the time difference of patrol in the northwest corner and entered the Jiang Mansion.
They searched carefully in the Jiang Mansion, because both of them had come into contact with the black fog, so they had some sense of it.
Following the location of the sensation, I found that it was a library with four experts guarding the door.
These four people are no match for Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu, but there is no guarantee that they will not alert others.
【218】
[Here I am, my Nianchen-kun, you finally remembered me! ]
[Have you redeemed the invisibility talisman again? ]
【Exchanged ten tickets! 】
[Good job, give me two! ]
[Thank you Nianchen for the compliment. This is what 218 should do. Here you go!]
There were two more talismans in Gu Nianchen's hand. Bai Luoyu had never seen talismans before, and looked at Gu Nianchen in surprise.
Gu Nianchen muttered something as he stuck the talisman on Bai Luoyu's back, and then stuck his own on as well.
Gu Nianchen made a gesture to Bai Luoyu to leave, then walked straight out. Bai Luoyu was stunned. He just left like that?
Seeing that the four people looked normal and didn't see Gu Nianchen at all, Bai Luoyu followed them, but he was still amazed at this magical phenomenon.
When he reached the door of the library, Gu Nianchen used his spiritual power to knock down a piece of the rockery in front of the library, making a sound to attract the attention of the four guards.
At that moment, Gu Nianchen brought Bai Luoyu into the library.
When they walked in, it looked like an ordinary library, but Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu could both feel that the black fog was there.
The two looked at each other and went to look for the mechanism separately.
The most likely place for the black fog to appear is underground, so both of them are looking for hidden mechanisms such as secret compartments on the ground.
When Gu Nianchen was at a loss, he saw Bai Luoyu running over and waving at him.
Gu Nianchen hurriedly followed and saw Bai Luoyu found a secret compartment with a rotating mechanism inside.
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu looked at each other and turned the switch.
There were no earth-shaking changes or huge noises as imagined.
It was so quiet as if nothing had happened and the two of them had done nothing.
Bai Luoyu looked at Gu Nianchen with a puzzled look on his face. The latter also felt strange. Could this not be a mechanism?
Gu Nianchen stood up and wanted to look around to see if there were any changes.
When they reached the middle, they found that the dark room had already been opened. He waved to Bai Luoyu, and the two walked down together.
After a long flight of stairs, there is a huge space with a fence in the middle.
The two walked over, and the closer they got, the more they noticed black fog rising from inside the fence.
Gu Nianchen mouthed to Bai Luoyu to be careful, and then approached cautiously.
When the two were only ten steps away from the fence, they finally saw the black fog itself.
It was more like a humanoid monster with only the upper body, two arm-like things waving, but no lower limbs and no facial features.
But he seemed to be able to see Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu.
He turned his "body" towards the two people, as if observing them.
At the same time, Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu were also observing it. Even though Gu Nianchen had seen and understood it for so many years, he still couldn't name this thing.
"Hehehe... It's a fresh soul, and it seems very powerful. I like it!" Just when the two were confused, the human-shaped black mist made a sound.
