Chapter 455: 455: Seeing Wang Yao Again

Sugar was what Lin Yaozu saw unintentionally while he was at the station.

He suddenly remembered that as a child, Lin Yurong had often been beaten for this sugar.

Lin Yurong and Lin Yaozu were close in age and both loved sweets and what were called junk foods as children.

However, their parents gave all the treats to Lin Yaozu, forbidding Lin Yurong from taking any.

Lin Yurong was young back then and had tried to resist, but each attempt ended with a brutal beating and the so-called "you’re the older sister, you should let your brother have it..."

After a few such ordeals, Lin Yurong stopped saying that she liked sugar.

By the time Lin Yaozu reacted, he had already bought a bag of candy.

He didn’t know why he had bought it.

What was the point of buying it now?

But he bought it anyway.

Lin Yurong cried for a long time because of a bag of sugar.

After an unknown period, Lin Yaozu suddenly said, "Actually, the one who should have died is me; it would have been better if I had never existed..."

...

Outside of Xun Tianhai’s office.

Jiangli and Fu Shiyan, among others, were waiting for Lin Yurong and Lin Yaozu to finish their conversation.

"Thank you for coming to cooperate with the investigation—"

Several people didn’t know how many minutes they had waited when a nearby office door suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man came out accompanying a young man.

Hearing the noise, Jiangli and Xia Xin looked up.

Unexpectedly, they saw a familiar face.

That person was Wang Yao.

"Deputy Director He—" Xun Tianhai greeted the two men when he saw them.

The middle-aged man and Wang Yao looked over in response.

"Director Xun, what brings you here?" Deputy Director He came over with the group, "And who are these people?"

"They’re all here to assist with the investigation," Xun Tianhai vaguely explained, about to inquire how Deputy Director He’s investigation was going.

Wang Yao looked at Jiangli and asked with surprise, "Abbot, why are you here?"

Jiangli: "I should be asking you that, why are you here?"

"I..." Wang Yao scratched his head and gave an awkward smile upon hearing this, "They called me to come and help with the investigation. They said they found the person who put a curse on me."

Xun Tianhai’s gaze shifted between the two, "Abbot, you know each other?"

Jiangli hummed, "He was cursed before, and the target happened to be Lin Yurong, which is why I got involved in this matter."

Xun Tianhai understood.

All the pieces were coming together.

He explained, "While we were interrogating Mu Dayang, he mentioned that because Lin Yurong’s soul was hard to divide, he thought of a malicious trick. He drove Lin Yurong out of H City to harm others. As long as Lin Yurong harmed someone, it would be easy to deal with. So he randomly assigned Lin Yurong to someone. Through our investigation, we found out that this person was Mr. Wang Yao."

The Unusual Affairs Management Office has a comprehensive information network. They contacted Wang Yao immediately and asked him to come back to participate in the investigation.

At the same time, they wanted to see if they could lift the curse cast on Wang Yao.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yao turned out to know Jiangli.

Lin Yurong died a brutal death and although her nature was resilient, she wasn’t easy to break or give up.

Mu Dayang didn’t have any other soul-splitting techniques, but he tried to split the victim’s soul during dismemberment.

This would cause the soul to tear apart and gradually be refined until eventually, there would only be two outcomes.

One is to split and vanish.

The other is to be refined by Mu Dayang, turning into a mindless ghost, only under Mu Dayang’s control.

But something went wrong during the dismemberment of Lin Yurong.

Her soul was damaged, but it did not split, nor could it be refined or vanish.
