Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 247 - 246 deceased persons

Lin Muqing shook his head and wrote, "I don’t know, but it feels like... they are flaunting the powers they gained after becoming Heavenly Demons."

"Flaunting powers? That’s a bit strange. What exactly do these Heavenly Demons want?" Zhou Bai stroked his chin and wrote, "By the way, where’s Xiao Pei? I haven’t seen her recently, and she has even stopped coming to my study group."

"Xiao Pei might have been taken," Lin Muqing sighed and wrote. "The Night Army had noticed something was off about her. They had been wanting to find solid evidence and were about to move against her recently, but then someone higher up stopped them and put someone else in charge. It seems Xiao Pei was then taken away secretly."

"Taken away secretly?" Zhou Bai wrote in surprise. "Didn’t Principal Zhao say anything?" He thought to himself, ’Damn, without Xiao Pei, my cultivation efficiency will decrease.’

Lin Muqing shook his head and wrote, "That’s what I find odd too. However, there are people who can suppress Principal Zhao. Inside Donghua City, apart from Dao School, the military and the government also hold immense power."

’Military and government...’ Zhou Bai’s mind filled with the information Lin Muqing had once explained to him.

In Donghua City, the strongest forces were Dao School, the military, and the government.

The heads of Dao School were Yun Chong, Principal Zhao Shouyi, and a host of school leaders.

Those in power within the military and government included the four great marshals of Donghua, the leader of the Night Army, the chairman and secretary-general of the Donghua Committee, and heads of various departments.

As the leadership structure of Donghua City flashed through Zhou Bai’s mind, he wrote, "By the way, is there a way for me to leave school for a bit? There are some things I’d like to handle." Naturally, he wanted to leave school temporarily to search for the original Dao treasure "03."

Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Bai unexpectedly. Without asking why, he wrote directly, "It’s a bit troublesome, as you are now a key focus at Dao School, but it’s not absolutely impossible. I need to discuss this with others and will give you an answer later."

Zhou Bai, "Alright, thank you."

At that moment, Lin Muqing wrote, "Zhou Bai, I’d like to ask for your help with something here. Would you be willing?"

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

"This side? You mean the Sky Flipping Sect?"

"Yes, would you be willing to help?"

"That depends on what you need help with."

"We’ve found traces of new ’hexagrams’ and need your help to retrieve them."

"New hexagrams?" Zhou Bai’s eyes immediately lit up. He remembered the last time he had extracted the notebook from the opponent, which was the power of the 12 hexagrams, which increased the gemstone’s time reversal by 10 minutes. This was extremely useful to him.

Therefore, Zhou Bai always felt very enthusiastic about new hexagrams.

Lin Muqing nodded and wrote, "Correct, we have some clues. A new hexagram may have appeared in Donghua City. But we can’t confirm which hexagram it is, what powers it has, or its exact location, so we need your abilities to help."

"No problem," Zhou Bai wrote eagerly. "When and where?" He had indeed revealed to the other party that he could see hexagrams, and finding hexagrams was highly beneficial to him, so he naturally agreed readily.

Lin Muqing was surprised at how readily Zhou Bai agreed and hesitated for a moment before writing, "We noticed some unusual phenomena in a high official’s home in Donghua City and suspect it might be related to hexagrams, so we’d like you to sense it."

"I see," Zhou Bai nodded. "Where is it? Shall we go now?"

Seeing Lin Muqing slightly stunned, Zhou Bai realized that he might have been too eager and active, and quickly laughed, "I just want to help you more since you’ve helped me several times. But I’ll have to go burn shit later, you know I’ve been working on being eco-friendly lately, right? So we’ll need to schedule a specific time."

"Can smell it," Lin Muqing pursed her lips, heard Zhou Bai’s last remark, and smiled slightly, "Then, I truly am thankful to you, Zhou Bai."

The two then arranged a time and place and left the sky corridor to continue their separate ways.

...

Three days later, in the administrative district 1000 meters high in Donghua City.

Zhou Bai, dressed in a suit and tie, disguised himself as a work staff member.

Lin Muqing also changed into work attire and walked beside Zhou Bai, introducing their next target.

"The household we’re going to visit has a male master who is a deputy director at the Donghua City Water and Electricity Bureau named Jiang Dong. He is a graduate of Dao School and has been graduated for 20 years, currently a cultivator at the 4th realm."

"Fifteen years ago, he retired from the battlefield due to a leg disability and has since been working in the water and electricity department, focusing on his job and poor at socializing."

Zhou Bai nodded. He had been burning shit for nearly a month and had come to understand the various water and electricity systems of Donghua City better.

According to Dr. Zhuang, humanity had largely abandoned the study of scientific technology, and from Zhou Bai’s observations, this was indeed the case, as scientific inventions continued to devolve.

Yet, as they abandoned scientific technology, humans had been diligently developing immortal techniques, solving everyday problems through various methods, runes, and arrays.

Lin Muqing continued, "Recently, some strange incidents occurred in his household; people said they saw his wife who had died many years ago."

Zhou Bai, "Died many years ago?"

Lin Muqing nodded, "His wife was also a graduate of Dao School, but unlike her husband who worked at the water and electricity bureau, she went to the front lines and sacrificed herself fifteen years ago."

"But recently, people have spotted his wife again, even doing household chores, which is extremely bizarre."

"Moreover, Jiang Dong and his daughter have not left their home for three days now."

Lin Muqing explained, "His wife, Gao Qing, sacrificed herself fifteen years ago, and it was officially recorded by the military; her body was even brought back and buried in Donghua City at that time."

"So, the reappearance of his wife is utterly illogical. If it truly is a resurrection, it’s even more incredible."

"The ability of divination symbols, and the supernatural phenomena they trigger, is just such an incredible, illogical thing."

"So, I suspect there might be a divination symbol involved here; the reappearance of Gao Qing might be triggered by it."

"I temporarily suppressed the news within the Night Army because I wanted to bring you here to investigate and see if there is a divination symbol."

Curious, Zhou Bai asked, "How exactly is a divination symbol generated? If their family has always had a divination symbol, why did the anomalies only occur recently?"

Lin Muqing shook his head, "I don’t know how a divination symbol is generated. I only know that it’s a very random phenomenon. Anything in the real world, except for life itself, might suddenly become a divination symbol at any moment, any second."

"Just like this notebook in my hand, or perhaps something in Jiang Dong’s home."

"According to the Sect Hierarch, individuals possessing a divination symbol tend to attract each other, no matter how far apart; they will eventually meet one day."

Zhou Bai’s expression turned slightly stern: ’Attract each other? Does that mean my gemstone is also included in this category?’

As they spoke, the two had already reached a quiet, tidy road, located 1000 meters high in the administrative district, where various government officers resided.

"We’re here."
