Chapter 592: Chapter 328 Birthday gift, click to send (Thanks to the Alliance leader who loves to eat chocolate)_2

Mu You put on the gloves he was handed and lifted the victim’s clothing to examine the skin near the heart.

While the two medical examiners were inspecting the body earlier, they had accidentally exposed a part of the victim’s chest, revealing some markings resembling livor mortis, which felt familiar to Mu You.

Looking closely now, indeed, there were a ring of dark purple spots similar to livor mortis around the heart area on the body.

The reason Mu You found it familiar was that he had seen similar markings on his own body just two days ago.

He had been struck by ’Red Sleeve Pregnant’ in the game, which left his left arm useless. At that time, similar markings faintly surfaced on the skin of his entire left hand. Although he only caught a glimpse of it before pressing the Pocket Watch, the way the markings looked was still vividly imprinted in his mind. They were strikingly similar to the marks on this person’s body.

This forced Mu You to think deeper.

Could it be that the woman he encountered then was the one who killed this person?

However, the time of the post on the Chi Xia Guild’s page the night before was before he encountered Red Sleeve, so Red Sleeve Pregnant must not be the actual World Walker. Moreover, the post mentioned that a helper arrived at the World Walker’s side.

Now that he thought about it carefully, the moment the original poster wrote that sentence seemed to coincide exactly with the moment in the game when Red Sleeve teleported away.

This would suggest that Red Sleeve Pregnant was likely the accomplice of the World Walker, which seemed to explain the manner of the Chi Xia Guild members’ deaths.

However, while the ability of Red Sleeve could guarantee to kill someone completely with a single blow, it was impossible for her alone to kill all the guild members in such a short time and to prevent anyone from escaping or shouting for help.

The remainder, therefore, could only be completed by the World Walker. Through the combined abilities of these two, they could achieve the effect of annihilating a large group of people within a very short time...

"Did you find anything?" Zhang Yang hurriedly came over to inquire when he saw Mu You stand up after completing the inspection.

"Oh, nothing much, just found the form of the lividity on his chest a bit strange..." Mu You shook his head.

He had no intention of revealing his encounter with Red Sleeve Pregnant. The abilities of those two were too unusual, and until he could clarify their circumstances, he needed to learn to protect himself.

"Indeed, it does look a bit strange..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang glanced at the body and also found the ring of marks somewhat odd. However, as he was not medically trained, he didn’t dare to make any conclusions. He simply instructed the recorder to note this down and have a professional examine it later.

The team then busied themselves with examining the crime scene, only pausing when personnel from other departments arrived and the bodies were taken away.

"That’s enough for today, everyone worked hard. You can leave for now, and I’ll notify you when there’s any new information," Zhang Yang announced to everyone else, who then dispersed to their respective homes.

Zhang Yang was about to leave after greeting the on-duty staff at the scene, but Mu You stopped him.

"Wait, Old Zhang...you should come back to the pet shop with me," Mu You said.

"Back to your pet shop? What’s going on?" Zhang Yang looked at Mu You, puzzled.

"Hehe, I’ve got something to show you." Mu You grinned, adding, "Something good!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Yang was surprised, "How did you know it’s my birthday today?"

"Uh..."

Mu You was left speechless for a moment. He was just planning to show Zhang Yang the Knowledge Ancient Tree. Who would have expected that it would coincide with his birthday?

"Well...think of it as a birthday gift."

"Sweat..."

Zhang Yang was a bit embarrassed. It was clear that Mu You did not know it was his birthday, but wanted to show him something special, and he had presumed too much, too soon.

Luckily, Zhang Yang had a thick skin. He laughed it off, pretending that nothing had happened. He casually led Mu You to his car and drove back to the city to the pet shop.

It was noon at this time, the busiest time for the pet shop, with people coming and going.

Mu You led Zhang Yang into the store but did not head towards the zoo. Instead, he led Zhang Yang up to a bedroom on the second floor, found a Spatial Bag from somewhere, opened the entrance, and signaled for him to get in.

"What is it, really? Why all the secrecy?" Zhang Yang had become increasingly curious.

"Hehe, you’ll know once you go in," Mu You chuckled.

"Alright then."

Zhang Yang jumped into the bag without any suspicion, followed by Mu You.

After entering the small cabin connected to the entrance, two of them stepped into the spatial bag. The entire space was empty except for a gigantic, golden-red tree in the corner.

This Spatial Bag was specially prepared by Mu You. After he had fully learnt his Intelligence, he had moved the ancient tree into an empty Spatial Bag.

"Is this... a tree-man?"

Zhang Yang, uncertain, walked over to the Knowledge Ancient Tree and scrutinized the tree-looking creature with eyes and nose for a while before he could establish what it was.

"Such a tall tree-man must be quite old, right? Did you bring it back from the Star Spirit World?" Zhang Yang asked as he looked at Mu You. He vaguely understood that Mu You seemed to possess a private door, and so he was not surprised that Mu You could bring creatures back from other worlds.

"Yes," Mu You nodded.

"What function does this tree-man have?" Zhang Yang asked.

He knew that Mu You had specially invited him here, and it wasn’t likely to be just for him to see a novelty.
