Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Kindergarten (Please Favorite, Follow, and Vote for the Monthly Ticket)

He Ao had finished lunch well after three o’clock in the afternoon.

Even though he tried to eat as little as possible, he did feel somewhat overstuffed.

So, he decided to walk home to help digest his meal.

Although food from the main world couldn’t generate "Earth Qi," it could provide energy for those already enhanced muscles. After his internal organs had been nurtured, He Ao’s digestive ability also seemed to have improved significantly.

By the time he got home, most of the food had already been digested.

Just as he reached the entrance of his community, he received a message from Zhang Ansha.

[Zhang Ansha: He Ao, one of the three people from the other night, codenamed ’Magic Apprentice,’ has escaped. I’ve sent you his photo.]

[Zhang Ansha: (A picture of a person dressed in a magician’s tailcoat)]

[He Ao: How much is this worth?]

[Zhang Ansha: This man is dangerous, his mental state is somewhat unstable. If you see him, avoid him at all costs and contact us immediately.]

[He Ao: Alright]

In short, this man wasn’t worth any money.

He Ao pocketed his phone.

Just as He Ao was about to head home, halfway there, he suddenly stopped, noticing that Grandpa Fang’s stall wasn’t out.

Grandpa Fang usually set up his stall very early, and even if there was no business, he liked to sit there and watch the world go by.

Grandpa Fang had three sons. the second and the third lived and worked out of town, and the eldest had bought a house in the city center, only occasionally visiting. He Ao didn’t have any memory of Grandpa Fang’s wife; by the time He Ao was very young, Grandpa Fang had been living alone.

He Ao keenly realized that something was not quite right.

So he headed straight into the complex.

Grandpa Fang also lived in the community, on the first floor, just behind the building where He Ao lived. As a child, He Ao often went over to Grandpa Fang’s place to play.

"Auntie Li."

As He Ao approached the building, he happened to run into Auntie Li, Grandpa Fang’s neighbor, who was walking her dog at the entrance.

"Ao," Auntie Li greeted He Ao with warmth as she saw him, "Finished with school?"

"Mm-hmm," He Ao pointed towards Grandpa Fang’s door, "Auntie Li, did Brother Fang come by today?"

Brother Fang was Grandpa Fang’s eldest son. He Ao had grown accustomed to calling him Brother Fang since childhood.

"No," Auntie Li shook her head, glancing at Grandpa Fang’s door, "Now that you mention it, it seems like old Fang hasn’t been out since he went grocery shopping this morning."

He Ao’s eyebrows knitted, and he rushed to the door.

Grandpa Fang’s door was unlocked, so he pushed it open, immediately noticing onions and tomatoes scattered all over the floor.

Following the trail of the vegetables, He Ao found Grandpa Fang lying on the couch, breathing weakly and with a pale complexion.

His fingers were tightly clutching the bedsheet, as if entangled by a nightmare.

"Grandpa Fang! Grandpa Fang!"

He Ao called out several times without response, realizing that the situation might be quite serious.

He immediately dialed for emergency services, and at that moment, Auntie Li also arrived in a fluster,

"Has old Fang been possessed by some evil spirit?"

He Ao looked at her, "Auntie Li, do you have Brother Fang’s phone number? Call him quickly."

"Okay, okay."

Auntie Li fumbled to get her phone out and made the call.

—One hour later—

Xidu Suburban Hospital

"Ao, how’s my dad? What’s his condition now?"

A middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt rushed into the hospital.

"Brother Fang, calm down," He Ao grasped his shoulder, then pointed to the nearby ward, "The doctor said there’s no major issue detected for now, but Grandpa Fang is very weak and has been in a coma, receiving a glucose infusion."

"Okay, okay."

The man gradually calmed down a bit, and followed the direction He Ao pointed to, walking into the ward.

He passed the door and saw the thin elderly man lying on the bed, and listlessly sat beside the bed for a while.

At such an old age, he cannot withstand any torment.

After a while, he suddenly realized something, stood up, and walked out of the ward,

"Ao, did you cover the medical expenses? I’ll transfer the money to you."

However, his words awaited no response; the doorway was empty, and that handsome and steady young man had long since disappeared.

——

He Ao walked into the deserted market.

The busiest time for the market is in the morning.

Selling breakfast, vegetables, and meat, voices bustling, and the calls of vendors never cease.

The people who generally come to buy vegetables in this area are middle-aged or elderly, and everyone likes to buy fresh vegetables early in the morning; vendors also typically prepare only enough for the morning.

After midday, basically no meat or vegetables are left, and even if there are, they’re just the leftovers that others didn’t pick.

Only some students who come out to party or rent rooms by the day would buy some vegetables at this time.

This market isn’t large; He Ao walked through the empty stalls, stopping at the front of every shop and stall.

He returned here because he felt an unusual energy from Grandpa Fang, unable to identify exactly what it was, but vaguely felt it wasn’t from Grandpa Fang himself.

If forced to make a comparison,

the energy felt somewhat similar to that of an exotic beast.

After the end of the second formal Copy World, his soul, just like the first time, received feedback, not only replenishing the consumption of his Super Memory but also improving the quality of his soul a little.

Together with the advancement in Martial Arts, his perception had become much sharper than before.

The only place Grandpa Fang visited today was the market. If there wasn’t an issue at the market, then it must be somewhere on his way to and from it.

He Ao searched the entire market but found nothing of note.

Finally, he arrived at the market’s corner—the bathroom of the market.

He went into the men’s restroom and checked it stall by stall.

With diverse people coming to the market, the restroom was hardly cleaned and was full of various strange smells; the restroom door was caked with grease and grime.

The restroom had only five stalls in total, and when He Ao reached the last one, he found the door tightly shut.

He tentatively knocked on the door.

"Someone’s in here!"

A voice that seemed to belong to a middle-aged male came from inside.

He Ao glanced at the door and walked out of the restroom.

So, the restroom was not the problem either.

He stood next to the washbasin, washing his hands, and just happened to look up to see an abandoned construction site not far from the market.

Though the sun was setting in the west, that construction site emitted a bizarre vibe entirely different from the surrounding buildings.

He immediately left the market, heading towards the construction site.

Actually, this construction site had been there since he was in high school. At first, a developer bought the land wanting to build a kindergarten.

But later, after the developer went bankrupt and jumped from a building, the site was naturally abandoned, with no one to take it over.

Not long after He Ao left, a thirty-something cultured and refined middle-aged man walked out of the restroom, washing his hands while looking towards the abandoned construction site.
