Chapter 160

Yu Tu sent out his senses around him, but still nothing. He was slightly startled, and finally closed the carved wooden door.

Maybe he was too tired in the past few days and had hallucinations.

Yu Tu returned to his own exclusive recliner, with his palm facing up, and the black ball that he had released in the branch of the Alien Bureau appeared in his palm again.

Although he had read a lot of books, learned some things from the elders of the Plant Clan, and attended school for half a year, every time Yu Tu faced a situation that was beyond his expectations.

For example, now——how to check the memory of the residual soul?

Yu Tu held the black ball in his hand, turning it over and over. Baili Cheng's remaining soul was like a ball of black mist. Various colored threads stretched out from the depths of the mist. Except for a part of the mermaid skeleton connected to his wrist, the rest sank into the endless void.

Yu Tu discovered very early that the energy in his body was similar to spiritual power but different, but seemed to be more useful than spiritual power. Yu Tu tried to mobilize a strand of energy to his fingertips and carefully injected it into the black ball. The ball did not break or explode, and the black mist did not resist at all. Except for a little energy consumption, Yu Tu easily read the part of the residual soul that he wanted to read.

Yu Tu: “……?”

If there is no problem with his memory, Fang Yan said in the Alien Bureau before that in order to read the memory of the remaining soul urgently, special talismans are needed. If a certain part is to be detailed, special instruments are needed.

The reason why Yu Tu did not draw any special talismans was, firstly, that they were too difficult and he was not yet proficient in them, and secondly, he always felt that using energy might have unexpected results.

As energy continued to be injected, the memory that Yu Tu wanted to read became clearer and clearer. In Jiaoyue's memory fragments, it was what happened from Jiaoyue's perspective, but from Bailicheng's perspective, it was another interpretation.

Perhaps because Baili Cheng is the child born from the union of a mermaid and a human, he is not like ordinary children who grow up from ignorance to intelligence. From birth, he can understand what people around him are saying. After a hundred days, he can understand the meaning of the words of people around him, including the hidden meanings.

On the day of Bailicheng's 100th birthday party, he heard a voice without warning - a voice that no one could hear except him.

This sound does not appear all the time, it chooses the time.

When Bailicheng was reading, it would say, "What's the point of studying? You already have a big family business to inherit"; when Bailicheng was angry, it would say, "It's okay to beat and scold the people in front of you, they are all your servants, you can do whatever you want to them"; when Bailicheng was lying, it would say, "They are useless if they can't see that you are lying, idiots are only worthy of listening to lies"...

No matter what he does is right or wrong, this voice will only encourage him, praise him, and patiently tell him that he can do whatever he wants as long as he is happy.

Bailicheng knew that everything the voice said was contrary to the common sense and rules of the world and was wrong, but after hesitating, he simply concealed it.

This voice speaks beautifully and it won't hurt him, so why should he tell his parents?

When he was six years old, Jiaoyue and Baili Xiangxun suddenly returned home and unexpectedly exposed everything he had tried hard to hide. Baili Xiangxun decided to stay at home and learn from his temper.

The feeling of being supervised and being unsupervised is very different. Bailicheng is used to being a tyrant at home, so how can he stand being restricted?

Over time, this impatience gradually accumulated into deep resentment, and reached its peak when his body had problems.

A voice that had not appeared for a long time told him that his father Baili Xiangxun had a magical bead on his body. That bead was the mermaid bead that accompanies mermaids. As long as he gets the mermaid bead, he can heal his body.

Bai Licheng asked his father directly for it, but was unexpectedly rejected. He had a big fight with his father and they were in a cold war for several days.

Baili Xiangxun told him that there were no mermaids in the world, nor were there any so-called mermaid pearls, and asked him not to be fooled. Baili Cheng said that he was not feeling well, so Baili Xiangxun found many famous doctors to examine him in turn, and every doctor said that there was nothing wrong with his body.

But Baili Cheng just felt that his body was getting worse day by day, but no one believed it, except the voice that only he could hear.

The voice coaxed him gently: "Give me your body for now, and I'll get you the mermaid pearl, okay?"

The young Bai Licheng questioned: "No, I'm afraid you will take my body away."

"We can sign a contract." The voice that only he could hear was very patient. "I will help you get the mermaid pearl. The moment I get the mermaid pearl, I will return my body to you."

Baili Cheng asked Baili Xiangxun for it again, but was rejected again.

That night, he made a contract with the voice.

When he regained consciousness, Baili Xiangxun fell at his feet. There were no wounds on his body, but his breathing had stopped. In his palm was a transparent bead the size of a soybean, and where the bead met his palm, there was a stain of blood—that was Baili Xiangxun's blood.

In the memory of the remaining soul, Bailicheng was extremely scared. He threw the mermaid pearl away and kept wiping his palms on his body to wipe the blood off them.

"I just want the mermaid pearl... I don't want you to die..." Bailicheng's tears rolled down, "Who told you not to give it to me... I don't want you to die..."

He fell down beside Baili Xiangxun's body, so frightened that he had no strength left in his body. He could not remember what he said, only gibberish.

Baili Xiangxun died in the middle of the night. When it was almost dawn, the shivering Baili Cheng suddenly calmed down. With swollen eyes, he moved Baili Xiangxun's body back to the bed, tidied up the messy room, found the mermaid pearl in the corner, and left quietly.

He ate the mermaid pearl while crying. After eating the pearl, he felt as if a piece of heavy heart seemed to loosen, and his whole body became relaxed - that voice did not lie to him, the mermaid pearl could really save him.

Afterwards, his memory was filled with sorrow. His strong mother cried bitterly, and he cried along with her, even to the point of fainting. Mourners said he was filial, but only he knew that he was afraid and guilty.

After he ate the mermaid pearl, that voice only appeared when he made an important choice. He had always been cautious and pretended to be very good, and ten years passed like this.

When he came of age, the voice told him that some people were talking about him not being his parents' biological child.

He didn't believe it, so the voice told him that he could check whether the other people who had created this huge business with his mother had actually seen his mother pregnant and giving birth, and ask her if she dared to do a paternity test. To put it more intuitively - except for the shape of the eyes, he and his parents have almost no similarities.

Suspicion arises, guilt is established.

He seemed to have selectively forgotten the severe illness that nearly killed him after he took the mermaid pearl, and he also forgot that his mother's face had been pale ever since he recovered from the illness and her condition never improved.

The more he investigated, the more scared he became. In addition to these questions, he even suspected that his mother had already known the truth of that year. This fear reached its peak when his mother decided to leave.

He begged, but his mother had a heart of stone.

The voice appeared again and said, "Leave it to me, just like you did twenty years ago."

Maybe he was too scared, maybe he wanted to escape, or maybe it was some other reason. In any case, Baili Cheng handed over his body after signing the contract without any resistance.

When he woke up again, he felt the same pain as he did twenty years ago, or even worse.

"Want to survive?" he heard the voice ask.

Bailicheng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, but his heart and his soul were screaming - I want it!

He must survive!

So, the shark's tears were made into jewelry, their flesh and blood were used to make medicine, their fat was used to make candles, and their hair was twisted into candle wicks... In the end, only a useless skeleton was left.

The group of people who had created the business empire with his mother were already old. Even if they suspected that his mother's sudden departure had some hidden agenda, they could only suppress him in the areas they were responsible for. In the pharmaceutical industry, no one could do anything about it.

Ever-burning candle - long-life candle.

It knocked on the staircase to heaven.

The remaining soul had incomplete memories to begin with, and part of it was burned by Di Changqing. Yu Tu saw it intermittently, and many details were unclear, but that did not prevent him from being angry.

He extracted all the memories related to the "transaction" from the remaining soul and rolled them into a smaller black ball. Then he picked up Bailicheng's remaining soul and brought it to the mouth of Xiaohui who was lying on his knees.

Xiao Hui's ears and tail stood up in fright, and his fur stood up on the spot. He stretched out his paw to push Yu Tu's hand away, then jumped to the ground, making a "tick-tick" sound.

Yu Tu: “……?”

"Don't you want to taste it, Little Gray?"

Xiao Hui has the blood of a lion. Although Yu Tu is now using his energy to make dog food to ensure its nutrition, the evil things are also excellent supplements for Xiao Hui.

Yu Tu originally thought that it would be happy, but he never expected that he would see on the face of a gas tank the pain that seemed to be stabbed in the back, choked in the throat, and as if he was facing the abyss of pain.

Yu Tu sincerely advised it: "Children need to grow up, so don't be picky about food.

As a result, Xiu Gou was so anxious that he uttered the words "Woof woof woof, woof stinky woof!"

The case was solved———

Even dogs wouldn't eat Bailicheng's residual soul.

Seeing that Xiao Hui was resisting so desperately, Yu Tu could only give up with regret.

The voice in Bailicheng's memory that only he could hear...Yu Tu always felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere before, and there was a strange sense of familiarity.

Yu Tu closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a familiar reason - the B-level mission [Greedy Spring] that once made Meng Ziqiu's sword heart bound and almost wiped out the seven groups.

After the relationship with Meng Zu ended, Yu Tu did not stop there, but continued to investigate.

Originally, the [Greed Spring] was just an ordinary spring. Later, a fallen greedy dog ​​was sealed under the spring. Over the years, the greedy dog's power seeped into the spring water.

The seal under the spring should have gradually sapped the greedy dog's power over a long period of time, and it would have died silently over the years, rather than becoming stronger instead of weaker - this was not in line with common sense.

Yu Tu had been puzzled before, but now he had a vague guess:

The greedy and cruel thoughts of the dog seduced the young Bai Licheng through the wear and tear of Zhenfeng. After replenishing some of his strength through what he needed from Bai Licheng, it indirectly caused the tragedy of the seven groups.
