Chapter 384: Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store |
Xiu Juan didn't know what Yang Haoran was going to do, but due to her trust in Yang Haoran, she didn't ask too many questions. Her soul body transformed into a wisp of Yin Qi and directly merged into the corpse.
As Xiu Juan entered the corpse, the shriveled corpse swelled up like it had been inflated. Under Xiaokang's disbelieving gaze, the corpse slowly transformed into a person, an unfamiliar woman.
This corpse wasn't custom-made, so her appearance and figure naturally wouldn't be the same as Xiu Juan's original form.
"Mo...Mother?" Xiaokang called out somewhat uncertainly.
"Xiaokang, it's mother," Xiu Juan responded to Xiaokang first, then looked at her current body, moved her limbs, and after finding that she could control it freely, she showed a delighted expression on her face.
"How does it feel?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"It feels great, just like my own body from before," Xiu Juan said happily.
"Why don't you try hugging Xiaokang?" Yang Haoran suggested with a smile.
Xiu Juan was taken aback, then her expression became somewhat excited. Since her death, the thing she wanted to do the most was to hug Xiaokang again, but due to the special nature of her soul body, she couldn't hold Xiaokang, and Xiaokang couldn't touch her either.
"Come here, Xiaokang, let mother hug you."
Xiaokang didn't hesitate at all and rushed towards Xiu Juan. This time, his body didn't pass through Xiu Juan's body but stopped in her embrace.
Excited laughter came from Xiaokang's mouth, and Xiu Juan tightly hugged Xiaokang, shedding two lines of happy tears.
Yang Haoran didn't interrupt this warm moment between mother and son. It wasn't until a while later, when they released each other, that he spoke again.
"With this corpse, the things a soul body can't do won't be a problem anymore. And after wearing this corpse, you don't look any different from an ordinary person. Ordinary people won't be able to tell there's anything wrong with you."
Yang Haoran's words made Xiu Juan come to her senses. She hurriedly thanked Yang Haoran, and Xiaokang also followed Xiu Juan's example and expressed his gratitude to Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to thank me; it's a small matter. You should get used to this corpse first. I'll go talk to Old Wu about something."
"Grandpa Wu and Sister Bai Xue seem to have gone on some mission," Xiaokang promptly said when he heard Yang Haoran mention going to find Master Wu.
Yang Haoran raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "They went on a mission together? What kind of mission requires both of them?"
"I'm not very clear either. I heard Grandpa Wu say it's a joint mission between the Spirit Police and our Yin Division," Xiaokang continued.
Missions jointly executed by the Spirit Police and the Yin Division were usually not simple tasks. He had thought Master Wu would be handling some matters at the Death God Temple, while Bai Xue might be at the Spirit Police headquarters, but he didn't expect them to go on some mission together.
Yang Haoran nodded at Xiu Juan and Xiaokang, then said, "I'll make a call to find out the situation. You two go about your own business."
After saying this, Yang Haoran returned to the study room and took out his mobile phone to call Master Wu.
There was no answer. Yang Haoran frowned slightly; he had never encountered this situation before. Master Wu always answered his calls promptly.
"Could something have happened?"
Yang Haoran couldn't help but speculate like this, and with that thought, he called Master Wu's number again.
This time, the phone rang a few times before being answered, but instead of Master Wu's voice, Yang Haoran heard a few shrill, agonizing screams.
They weren't Master Wu's screams but someone else's, yet Master Wu didn't say anything.
Yang Haoran's expression changed slightly. He knew something major had happened, and perhaps the situation was even worse than he had imagined.
"Old... Boss..." Master Wu's weak voice came through the phone.
"Where are you?" In this situation, Yang Haoran didn't waste any words and directly asked Master Wu's current location.
"It's... coming again... Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store."
Master Wu only reported the name of a funeral supplies store before the call was cut off.
Under normal circumstances, if he heard a funeral supplies store had such a name, Yang Haoran would definitely have smiled.
However, at the moment, he couldn't smile at all. From Master Wu's weak tone, it seemed he had been seriously injured. If he didn't go there immediately, Yang Haoran was worried Master Wu might die there.
He had never heard of Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store and didn't know where it was, so he made another call, but this time, it wasn't to Master Wu but to Captain Luo.
Since it was a joint mission between the Yin Division and the Spirit Police, Captain Luo should be very familiar with this task. In Yang Haoran's view, Captain Luo should know the location of this Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store.
However, after the phone connected, the situation was the same as with Master Wu's call earlier - no one answered.
From this situation, Yang Haoran guessed that Captain Luo must also be on the scene, but for some reason, the current Captain Luo was unable to answer his phone call.
Yang Haoran only dialed once and didn't dial a second time because he didn't have time to waste.
With no other choice, he could only use his mobile phone to search online for the address of Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store. Since he had never even heard of this funeral supplies store, he didn't dare to be sure if he could find the address online, but in the current situation, he had no better option, so he could only try.
What left him speechless was that he couldn't find this Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store online at all, which made him frown a bit more.
However, at that moment, Yang Haoran's phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, it was actually Captain Luo. He hurriedly answered the phone.
Before he had a chance to speak, Captain Luo's low voice came from the other end of the line.
"East of the city!"
Upon hearing those two words, Yang Haoran hung up the phone himself. At the same time, a crack opened up in the space in front of him. Without any hesitation, he stepped into the space rift.
In the east of Lecheng city, there was indeed a Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store, but this funeral supplies store was not located within the city but on a street outside the city.
Since the store wasn't very big, it didn't have much reputation in Lecheng. If it weren't for the store's name being so provocative, perhaps even fewer people would have noticed this store.
At this time, the street where Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store was located had been blocked off by the police, and no one or any vehicle was allowed to pass through. The onlookers were very curious about what had happened, wondering why the police would block off the street for no apparent reason.
Some people thought they had decent connections in Lecheng, so they asked their friends about what was going on, but no one in this group could find out the reason.
Not to mention the ordinary onlookers, even the police officers on duty didn't know why they had suddenly blocked off this street. They were just following orders from above and knew nothing else.
Blocking off the street was just one of the official measures. In addition, a considerable restriction barrier had been set up around the Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store.
At this moment, at the edge of the restriction barrier, a crack suddenly appeared in the space, and a figure emerged outside the barrier.
This person was none other than Yang Haoran, who had rushed over from the villa. Since he couldn't teleport directly into the barrier, he could only appear outside of it.
The reason he could accurately find this place was naturally because he sensed the fluctuations of power emanating from the barrier.
The barrier in front of him was invisible to the naked eye. What the naked eye saw was a scene no different from usual - the street was still a street, and Hao You Lai Funeral Supplies Store was still that funeral supplies store.
Everything looked the same as usual, as if nothing had changed, but if one observed carefully, one would find that this place was too quiet, quiet to an eerie degree.
This wasn't ordinary quietness but a stillness of silence!
Yang Haoran knew that this situation was entirely due to the influence of the restriction barrier. The scene seen from outside the barrier was frozen, as if nothing had happened here, but if one entered the barrier, the situation would naturally be different.
After materializing, he didn't hesitate at all and tore open a hole in the barrier, then charged into it.
