Chapter 647: Chapter 519 Mirror Trace Stir + Chapter 520 Blockade_3

Moreover, the most pressing matter currently is none other than obtaining a vast number of Starlight Pearls to fill my Body Orifices with energy, thereby advancing my strength further. Once I become stronger, any action I take will be much safer.

Having everything planned out, he opened the door and walked out.

Passing through the alley, he arrived at the living room, where he could hear the piercing screams of his fellow student, Zhou Xiaolan.

"Brother, why are you at home? When did you come back?"

"Mom, mom, brother’s come back."

Zhou Lan turned around and ran back.

"That girl."

Even with concerns on his mind, he couldn’t help but let out a hint of a smile seeing Zhou Lan’s frantic behavior.

At the entrance of Baihua Manor, the roar of an engine.

A small yellow car stopped alongside the door, and Tangtang, dressed in a neat uniform, stepped inside.

She obviously got the news nearby and rushed over speedily, not delaying a moment.

"Sister Tang, join us for breakfast."

"Sure."

Nothing’s more important than eating a good meal.

The two exchanged a smile.

They entered the dining room under Mother Zhou’s surprised gaze.

On the table, there were already several plates of bread, some well-cooked porridge, and naturally, some southern pickled vegetables which were indispensable.

The sight was enough to whet anyone’s Appetite.

Strangely enough, Mother Zhou, who formerly was worried sick, only urged them to eat and chatted with Tangtang about common household matters, without asking Zhou Ping’an a single question about where he had been.

Presumably, she had gotten used to his sudden appearances and disappearances.

Seeing Zhou Ping’an, the red line that had formed between Tangtang’s brows seemed to ease, as she cast aside all concerns to enjoy a simple family meal at the Zhou Family home.

"Auntie, managing such a large manor with just you and Xiao Lan is troublesome, even just for cleaning up, let alone maintaining it. Times have changed; how about hiring some people..."

After breakfast, Tangtang insisted on helping clear the table and fought with Mother Zhou over who would wash the dishes. Unable to win, she suggested awkwardly with a laugh.

"You see, brother’s been working so hard, if not to provide a better life for his family? It used to be like that, and it’s still the same. If you have to do manual labor, doesn’t that make his efforts in vain?"

"What are you talking about, child?"

Mother Zhou laughed at the playful comment: "How it sounds, as if we’ve become capitalists, ready to exploit the working class?"

However, despite saying this, she took it to heart.

They say those who have been poor for a long time can’t enjoy riches.

Even a bit of extravagance may invoke a strange sense of guilt.

But having lived through the desperate times of three wars and seen the truth of society, Mother Zhou was no ignorant woman. She understood that classes always existed and would continue to do so.

Even if they disappeared temporarily, they would gradually emerge again due to people’s selfishness.

This is a natural and objective law; there’s no need to resist it excessively.

Hiring a few workers, as long as fair wages are provided, shouldn’t evoke guilt.

Moreover, she understood something else.

Some formalities are not just for show.

They may have practical implications.

If Zhou Ping’an, with his current status, lived a modest life, then who in Dongjiang would dare to be too extravagant?

Wouldn’t they fear his disapproval and the possibility of him dealing with them secretly?

If everyone couldn’t live well, they’d have to suppress their nature and pretend to be poor and hardworking. What’s the point of their work and efforts then?

Thinking this, Mother Zhou felt her mind become a tangled mess. After a moment, she spoke softly, "Little Tang, I don’t know anyone, so could you take it upon yourself to look for some reliable..."

"That’s for sure. It happens that I have a friend who started a home management company, and she knows who are reliable."

Tang Tang immediately agreed and subtly raised her eyebrows at Zhou Ping’an.

Indeed, sister Tangtang’s eloquence and ability to get things done are just that strong.

Zhou Ping’an had spoken to his old mother several times without getting through to her, but to his surprise, Tang Tang managed to persuade her with just a few words.

...

"There has been no news of the Broken Mirror, but the day before yesterday, surveillance squad members discovered some traces by the seaside. They suspect that Jacob might have been hiding near Fujia Village. The testing equipment had once detected abnormal energy reactions there, very similar to the energy signature that appeared on Wenshan that day."

The two moved to the study. When Zhou Ping’an expressed concern about the Broken Mirror, Tang Tang mentioned an incident and then shook her head: "That energy signature is extremely faint, and moreover, there were traces of battle near Fujia Village. Even the houses were flattened and buried, suggesting the involvement of a third party force."

"Search, at all costs, investigate all the Beast Hunting Teams that have been near Fujia Village recently, as well as the whereabouts of all the top experts within Dongjiang City..."

Zhou Ping’an heavily slapped his thigh.

He realized he had overlooked something.

After receiving the news of Jacob’s escape into the sea and disappearing without a trace, and then hearing that a cruise ship had passed through the sea during that period, he trusted some of the deductions in the documents and believed that the foreign student had already left Dongjiang.

The vast sea made it impossible to search; he could only reluctantly set aside the news of the Broken Mirror.

Now that he knows the other party had not left but rather made a returning strike, hiding in the fishing village, how could one not feel regret?

"Find out who fought with Jacob and what the outcome was. Also, we cannot overlook the Sky Hawk Alliance, send people there to investigate.

Sister, does our squad have any contact with the world’s joint law enforcement agencies? If there are acquaintances on the Sky Hawk’s side, we can also ask them to pay attention."

"There are some contacts, but..."

Tang Tang was somewhat scratching her head.

Searching for a small mirror across the ocean is simply not a task for humans.

It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It’s not without features, don’t just look for the object, no need to inform them what we are searching for... If we can’t find Jacob, look for people who have undergone drastic changes, for example, those who were originally unknown and suddenly obtained powerful abilities, or their strength greatly increased, or their speed became very fast."

Zhou Ping’an thought for a moment and didn’t mind if Tang Tang guessed something.

At this point, even if outsiders guessed something, he already had some confidence to protect himself.

Finding the mirror was the most important thing right now.

He suspected.

The piece of the Broken Mirror taken by Jacob, if obtained by himself and fitted into the mirror piece on his wrist, might give him an additional ability.

He didn’t know the other benefits, but it might give him the ability to transport people back and forth.

Otherwise, it would not explain why there were fluctuations felt when passing through the two worlds both times, proving they resonate at the same frequency.

And the decision of when to go and when to return was his own will.

From this, it can also be deduced that the two mirror pieces on his wrist have the dominant power.

’If one could bring people back and forth between the two worlds, the benefits contained within...’

Zhou Ping’an looked deeply at Tang Tang.

He thought, perhaps sister could also enjoy the rapid advancement effects from that world.

"By the way, what has happened in Dongjiang City, is that infection still spreading?"

Zhou Ping’an recalled the urgent message sent by Tang Tang and finally found the leisure to ask.

"It’s very serious. There’s no spread, but the black mist has diffused into the city, and now the southern part of the city is full of public unrest. If not resolved, I’m afraid it will cause a major disturbance."

Worry filled Tang Tang’s eyes.

"Let’s go take a look, hopefully there isn’t a problem arising from the Ancient Tomb?"

Zhou Ping’an quickly focused on the target.

If it’s a power from the mysterious side, it’s likely to be troublesome.
