Chapter 316: Chapter 315: Finding Clues, Strange Phenomenon

Xie Da rolled down the car window.

Lu Zixun stood up and jumped in, licking his paws and said, "Not bad, Xiao Xie, making it to the captain of an elite squad."

When he had taken down the number before, Lu Zixun hadn’t expected that this elite squad, bearing the number 7, would actually be led by Xie Da.

"Lord Cat, long time no see."

He nodded slightly, smiling at Lu Zixun.

Xie Da introduced his squad members one by one to Lu Zixun and signaled Wang Yue by the door to open it, allowing Qing Youyou to get in the car.

Seeing the identity cards on Xie Da and the others, Qing Youyou, who had been put at ease, finally got into the car comfortably.

On the way to East Gate Bridge, after Qing Youyou gave an address, she fell silent.

"We’re here."

Looking at the sign at the street corner, Xie Da stopped the car, his gaze falling on Lu Zixun.

"Looking at me won’t help."

Lu Zixun glanced at Xie Da and then turned to Qing Youyou, "Youyou, are we getting off here, or...?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Youyou finally lifted her head to look, then spoke, "We can get off here, it’s not easy to drive any further forward."

They walked through the long alleys and finally stopped in front of a residential building.

Lu Zixun and Xie Da followed behind Qing Youyou, instructing the other members of the elite squad to stand by on the spot.

One cat and two men climbed up the building, one after another.

Looking at the already rusty stair handrails and the mottled walls, Xie Da blinked, "This place has some history, it looks quite retro."

Isn’t this idle chitchat?

Just as Lu Zixun was about to turn back and interrupt Xie Da, he heard Qing Youyou’s voice tinged with a hint of sadness, "Hmm, this building must be eighty or ninety years old. Every time I come back, I think of the times I used to return home from school with my brother."

Glaring at Xie Da.

Lu Zixun’s whiskers twitched a few times as he offered a faint consolation, "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of life. The departed are gone, and the living must live well."

Perhaps because of Lu Zixun’s comfort, Qing Youyou took a deep breath, nodded, and her expression improved slightly.

Arriving at Qing Youyou’s home, they didn’t see her parents.

After asking, they learned that at this time, her parents were still at the company and would not return until the afternoon.

Under Qing Youyou’s guidance, they entered the bedroom of Qing Yangming, a space filled with childishness, and the walls still adorned with posters of long-outdated Stars.

"This is my brother’s room, it hasn’t changed in years... take a look around, just don’t mess anything up."

Qing Youyou pursed her lips and stepped out of the door, seemingly not wanting to stir up memories.

After Xie Da closed the door, Lu Zixun looked around the room.

He hopped onto the desk and pulled out a drawer, searching for something like a diary.

His specific visit to Qing Youyou’s home was to clarify one thing.

Qing Yangming turned into a member of the Insect Clan after coming into contact with Polluted Blood.

Was it a random encounter with the Polluted Blood that led to his transformation into the Insect Clan during cremation?

Or was it after cremation that someone, or the Insect Clan, took his remains and then exposed him to the Polluted Blood?

The drawer was neat, unlike that of a boy.

And after a thorough search, Lu Zixun found no diaries.

"Still nothing, huh?"

Somewhat disappointed, he spoke just as Xie Da, riffling through the bookshelf, found a note in a language textbook.

"Lord Cat, this might be a clue."

Closing the drawer, Lu Zixun perched on Xie Da’s shoulder, peering at the note.

"After class today, let’s go play in the back mountain."

Due to the passage of time, most of the content on the note was blurred.

Only the last part was vaguely visible, written in a crooked and twisted font.

Lu Zixun’s brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed,

This must have been a note left by Qing Yangming during his elementary school days. Could this back mountain be the place where he encountered the Polluted Blood.

After having Xie Da pocket the note, the man and cat searched the room again thoroughly.

Apart from the note, they found nothing else.

After leaving the room, Lu Zixun approached Qing Youyou and asked, "You and your brother used to attend the same elementary school, right? So you must know about the back mountain?"

Qing Youyou, not expecting Lu Zixun to ask this, took a moment to reminisce before replying, "Yes, we both attended Third Elementary School. That back mountain... could it be Lingyun Mountain?"

Lingyun Mountain?

Clearly, as someone who rarely ventured out, Lu Zixun wouldn’t know such a place.

He looked puzzledly at Xie Da, who appeared to be in thought.

Unaware of Lu Zixun’s gaze, Xie Da asked a few routine questions then, after telling Qing Youyou to rest well for the next couple of days, he left with Lu Zixun from her home.

"Lord Cat, shall we head to Lingyun Mountain next?"

Having fastened his seatbelt, Xie Da finally turned to inquire of Lu Zixun.

"Either way works."

Lu Zixun nodded and sighed, "But before we go, you’ll need to fill me in on what exactly Lingyun Mountain is."

Only then did Xie Da realize, hurrying to explain to Lu Zixun.

Before it was known as Lingyun Mountain, it was called Earth Dog Mountain, famous for the frequent presence of earth dogs.

However, eight years ago, something happened, and since then, Earth Dog Mountain became Lingyun Mountain.

"Earth Dog Mountain, such a lovely name."

Lu Zixun chuckled, waving his paw for Xie Da to continue.

"At that time, a crimson cloud formed over Lingyun Mountain, stunningly beautiful, hence the name."

Seeing that Lu Zixun was still eagerly waiting, Xie Da spread his hands, "That’s all, I’ve said everything."

"There must be a strange tale where there’s a phenomenon, STO hasn’t gone..."

He paused, Lu Zixun licked his neck, "I forgot, STO didn’t exist back then."

"In fact, even without STO, there were departments that dealt with special events; otherwise, I wouldn’t know any of this."

Xie Da chuckled, "But when they investigated, they didn’t uncover anything."

"Our visit now might not be very meaningful, but it’s better than having no leads at all."

Looking at the sunset outside the car window.

Lu Zixun yawned, "Let’s go, if we hurry we might still make it back in time for dinner or something."

...

It was indeed Earth Dog Mountain.

Along the way, Lu Zixun had already seen many earth dogs barking furiously at him,

Had he not emitted Spiritual Energy, who knows how long those dogs would have barked.

Yet Lu Zixun was puzzled,

Given that there were so many earth dogs even after eight years, wouldn’t Qing Yangming, as a child back then, have been scared to see so many stray dogs?

As Lu Zixun pondered this, a surge of Blood Energy Aura suddenly spread out from the mountaintop.
