Chapter 291: Chapter 290: The Events of That Year

Lu Zixun, who had discovered Lu Ye’s whereabouts and knew his next moves, felt even more conflicted.

At this moment, lying on the bed and looking at Lin Siyin, who had passed out due to shock, his eyes were full of contemplation.

Normally, Lin Siyin was too strong, which made Lu Zixun forget that before he met her, she was just an ordinary girl who would also be scared when facing terrifying things.

"There’s nothing serious, she was just frightened, sleeping it off will help."

The doctor, who was responsible for examining Lin Siyin, packed up his tools, stood up, and said to Lu Zixun.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

He nodded in gratitude to the doctor and watched as the doctor left the room. Then, Lu Zixun turned back, took a deep look at Lin Siyin, jumped off the bed, and walked towards the living room.

"Everything alright?"

Xiong Kang, who was looking at his laptop, asked without lifting his head.

"It’s fine. What are you looking at?"

Lu Zixun hopped next to Xiong Kang and looked at the architectural plans on the computer, questioning him with a puzzled look.

Xiong Kang didn’t immediately answer Lu Zixun’s question, his fingers flying rapidly across the keyboard, focusing intently on the computer screen.

After a while, he hit the enter key.

Xiong Kang turned to look at Lu Zixun, "The architectural distribution around Central Square, take a look, it’s best to memorize it."

"Why memorize this thing?"

Muttering under his breath, Lu Zixun still obediently looked at the architectural plans.

Ignoring the murmuring Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang’s fingers danced on the keyboard for a moment, then a surveillance footage appeared.

"Tomorrow, that Moon Ghost wants to play a game, no matter what the game is, knowing the map can significantly increase your chances of winning."

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang looked disdainfully at Lu Zixun, "You’re always on your phone playing games, and you don’t even understand this basic principle."

Thinking it over, Lu Zixun didn’t retort, indeed as Xiong Kang had said.

Knowing the map could increase the odds of winning, but Lu Zixun suspected that Lu Ye wouldn’t follow the usual patterns.

"Being well-prepared allows you to adapt to all changes, it’s always good to be proactive."

Pausing, Xiong Kang frowned and said, "There’s just something very strange, take a look at this."

Pointing at a specific part of the surveillance footage, Xiong Kang said, "The movements of these people are quite mysterious. They appeared in a previous surveillance footage but then disappeared in the next one."

With his arms folded, leaning on the sofa, Xiong Kang’s eyes flashed with thoughtfulness, "And from the surveillance cameras, you can see, the expressions on these people’s faces are numb, and their movements are rigid, as if they are being controlled."

"So you suspect that they are the key players in the so-called game mentioned by the Moon Ghost?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun raised his eyebrows and speculated.

"Mmm, that’s very likely the case, especially since, according to your previous description, the Moon Ghost claimed to be a ’justice warrior,’ sacrificing a human to catch him..."

Pausing, Xiong Kang sighed lightly, "Afterward, I looked up the major events of the sto in previous years."

Leaning forward and grabbing the mouse, Xiong Kang opened a file, which contained a major event from five years ago in the sto.

As soon as the file was opened, bold red letters appeared, which looked very intimidating. Lu Zixun stared at the content without blinking.

After reading through the event, he narrowed his eyes without speaking.

That year, during an incident involving Flame Worms that caused a fire, a family named Lu was trapped inside their house by the flames.

At the time, a sto team member who went to deal with the situation was entangled by the Flame Worms and could not disengage to carry out the rescue.

Although the team member eventually captured the Flame Worm, the towering flames that erupted mercilessly consumed the lives of the family.

That is to say, Lu Ye was someone from the Lu family who had survived, but how had he turned into the Moon Ghost?

Or did it mean...

With a stunned expression, Lu Zixun seemed to understand something, the Flame Worms burning down the Lu family’s house was likely not an accidental act.

After all, the creation of the Moon Ghost resulted from a combination of the Insect Clan and the Demon Clan.

"Was the flaming fire of the Flame Worms accidental or intentional?"

To clarify this matter, Lu Zixun looked up at Xiong Kang with a questioning gaze.

Raising his hand to touch his chin, Xiong Kang shook his head, "It’s hard to know now. The member who captured the Flame Worm has already entered Crimson Land, and there are probably very few who knew about this issue at that time."

If it was unintentional, that would be one thing.

But if the Flame Worms intentionally wanted to burn the Lu family’s house, that would be more interesting.

Merely a slight impurity in bloodline wasn’t enough to make the Insect Clan go to great lengths to enter the human world for a purge; there had to be some secret unknown to humans.

"That Moon Ghost, named Lu Ye."

After a while, Lu Zixun spoke, "It’s very likely that he came to take revenge on the sto because of that incident."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Kang raised his eyebrows in disbelief, looking at Lu Zixun, "That’s not right. The fire started by the Flame Worms reduced that family’s house to ashes; how could anyone still be alive."

"Let’s assume that family was from the Insect Clan and Demon Clan, even if the flames from the Flame Worms were powerful, with a member of the sto holding them back, they could have escaped."

His eyes glittered with something called wisdom, Lu Zixun squinted and continued, "But they didn’t do so and chose to die in the fire, why is that?"

"It’s clearly impossible..."

Xiong Kang started to speak, then frowned and shut his mouth; Lu Zixun’s analysis made a lot of sense.

The building only had two floors, and there were cushioning objects below, so jumping from the window would have definitely meant survival, but they didn’t.

Willing to be burned to death, and according to the testimony of the member back then, he didn’t hear any calls for help, thinking the people inside had passed out.

There was absolutely no will to live; could this really be to save that Lu Ye?

"I need to look up some information. I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning, don’t run off."

"Where could I possibly run off to?" Lu Zixun scoffed and waved his paw dismissively,

"Hurry up and leave, you’re disturbing my sleep. And when you come tomorrow, remember to bring some breakfast."

"Got it."

After closing the door, only Lu Zixun was left alone in the living room.

His emerald pupils flickered like oil lamps in the dark room.

Lu Zixun looked towards the balcony and called out faintly, "Come out."

"Nice eyes, I thought you hadn’t seen me."

The figure of Si Keke appeared on the balcony, arms crossed, smiling lightly as she looked at Lu Zixun.
