Upon hearing this, I used my Heavenly Eye to observe, and sure enough, I found that the black aura around me had indeed dissipated.
At this moment, I turned my attention back to Song Chao; appearances can be deceiving.
Lei Jijian and I felt from the beginning that Song Chao was a bit special, but we didn't know what was so special about him. Now it seems that we really underestimated this little guy.
Moreover, Lei Jijian kept telling me that he sensed a strange aura emanating from Song Chao, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"What's wrong, Senior Chen?"
Song Chao looked into my eyes and asked me with a puzzled expression. I shook my head and simply told him my thoughts.
I said that ever since he put it on, I feel that the surrounding environment has become quieter, and this bronze plate is really suitable for him.
"Hehe, this belongs to my senior, I should return it to him!"
After Song Chao finished speaking, he was about to take off the bronze piece when I quickly stopped him. I told Song Chao that since he was destined to wear this, he should wear it. Besides, I already had an iron piece, so this bronze piece was compensation for him.
After hearing all this, Song Chao nodded and accepted the item.
"Alright, in that case, senior, I won't stand on ceremony. I also think this thing suits me quite well. The main thing is that after wearing it, my body feels incredibly comfortable. I've never felt this way before in all my life!"
Song Chao said sincerely, "I observed Song Chao, and sure enough, Song Chao's complexion is much better now. As for the skin disease he had before, there is no reaction at all now, and it has completely disappeared."
After Song Chao's matter was settled, we took him to our previous hotel and booked a room for him alone.
For dinner, Luo Tianhe ordered takeout. Old Luo is completely at ease with modern life. If I didn't have absolute faith in Luo Tianhe, I would have even thought that all those dreams he told me about were just a lie.
After we settled Song Chao in, the group gathered in my room.
"Old Chen, tell me, did you gain anything special from your trip to the office this time?"
After Luo Tianhe plopped down, the first thing he asked me was this question.
I nodded slightly and told Luo Tianhe and the others everything I had discovered.
Including some of my later guesses.
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe frowned: "You mean, the copper plate that this child is wearing around his neck was left behind by that Director Wang?"
"Well, not only that, but it seems that Director Wang already knew before I arrived that the reason I came was because of Sister Huang!"
I nodded and spoke softly.
"It's really strange. The copper piece left on Director Wang's body is actually related to the black fog around this school. The key point is that this copper piece also highly overlaps with the iron piece we have in our hands!"
Luo Tianhe took the iron piece from Lao Dao's hand and examined it carefully.
"Brother Luo, it's not just that. These two pieces of iron are related to the Beast God. Didn't Brother Chen say that our destination this time is related to the Beast God?"
Old Dao sat down next to Luo Tianhe, interrupting Luo Tianhe's words.
At this moment, Ji Xinglan, who had remained silent until now, also expressed her opinion.
"I feel that this boy is a good person, but when I meet Sister Huang, I always feel that something is not right!"
Ji Xinglan moved closer to me, her expression very serious.
It turns out that Ji Xinglan had always had some suspicions about this Sister Huang.
Something's not right?
I asked Ji Xinglan what was wrong.
Ji Xinglan told me that when I met Ji Xinglan, I could feel a peaceful power emanating from her, but there was a sense of discontinuity in that peaceful power!
"A sense of discontinuity? Tell me more about it!"
I immediately became interested in Ji Xinglan's topic.
"Exactly, I think her power is incomplete. There's another possibility: that her power doesn't belong to her, but was separated from somewhere else!"
Ji Xinglan stood up, circled around me once, and then hesitantly spoke.
"Although I couldn't understand it, I was deeply moved!"
Old Dao chuckled, indicating that he didn't know anything about these things: "But to be honest, I really think this is a trap. Song Chao is probably being used as a pawn by Sister Huang!"
Old Dao's words were as sharp as ever, instantly defining Song Chao's character.
I suddenly remembered that I still had the booklet, and I hadn't looked at its contents since returning to the hotel.
When I opened the booklet, I saw a line of text written on the last few pages.
"Set off in the dead of night!"
There was only this one tip in the booklet, and when I saw it, my body stiffened a little.
Because Sister Huang told me that I have to wait until tomorrow to go there.
"Oh, this!"
Old Dao and the others came closer to me, saw the writing on it, and were immediately stunned.
"Brother Chen, Sister Huang said we need to go see her at that time tomorrow before we can go to Cuiping Mountain, but this brochure tells us to leave late at night, which means today?"
Old Dao carefully examined the handwriting to make sure I hadn't misread it before giving me his advice.
"Whom should we believe?"
For a moment, Luo Tianhe was at a loss and passed this trouble to me.
“Then let’s set off tonight!” I hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust the booklet. After all, the booklet hadn’t had any problems since I arrived in this place.
Hesitation only leads to more trouble. The booklet had a response, so I chose to believe it.
"You can't completely trust what beautiful women say; the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."
I stood up, closed the booklet, and glanced at Ji Xinglan.
Ji Xinglan's eyes darted away, but she still forced a smile and asked me, "What about me?"
I glanced at Ji Xinglan and told her that she felt the same way.
After hearing this, Ji Xinglan clenched her little fists and said she wanted to punch me. We played and joked around like that.
After we finished eating, we went to call Song Chao, who was already prepared.
What struck me as odd was that Song Chao seemed to have known all along that we were leaving today, and had already packed his things.
If we had known about this hotel, we wouldn't have booked it.
Once everyone was ready, we hired a car and set off.
Cuiping Mountain is located in the neighboring Zhongyang County, and it takes about two and a half hours by car.
We hired a van, and the driver was an experienced man.
The driver was contacted by Luo Tianhe. The license plate seemed normal at first, but after a few of us got in, I felt that the driver was a bit too strange.
