In the next few days, Yan Shan didn't participate in anything related to 1029 anymore. No one bothered him because of it.
Zhou Bai and Qiu Xingze didn't come over again. Meng Ruocun brought him food every day and chatted with him.
Yan Shan was exhausted, and he just wanted to go back and wait for death. Meng Ruocun, on the other hand, wanted to build a relationship with him. Their relationship quickly warmed up, and Yan Shan also had the urge to marry Meng Ruocun, go back and have children, and live a peaceful life.
That afternoon, Yan Shan was sitting on the bed eating. Meng Ruocun looked at him and said, "You're going back tomorrow?"
Yan Shan nodded and looked at Meng Ruocun. "Yes, you can go back with me."
Meng Ruocun was happy and nodded happily.
Yan Shan's background, cultivation, and personality were all good to Meng Ruocun. He wasn't like the playboy from the rumors.
She had approached him with a utilitarian mind, but now she really treated him as a good friend and felt that they could be together for a long time.
The two chatted as they ate. Yan Shan told Meng Ruocun some interesting secrets of the Celestial Court and laughed from time to time.
A moment later, they heard footsteps outside the door. The two looked towards the door.
They saw a staff member of the Plague Department walk in. When he saw Yan Shan, he said, "Young Master Yan Shan, True Lord Yan wants to talk to you."
As he spoke, he activated a Communication Array Stone and directly activated the Communication Array set up by the hospital. A blurry figure appeared in front of them.
"You're coming back? Not investigating anymore? "
Yan Shan's eyes narrowed. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Father. I know what you want. I'll cultivate well when I go back. Don't worry, I won't let you lose money."
"Trash." The figure harrumphed. "… I got it. Come back then."
Seeing the image disappear and the staff member leave, Yan Shan sighed in relief. "It should be fine. After returning to Central City, I'll have at least ten years of peace."
"No matter how powerful 1029 is, it can't cause trouble in Central City with so many immortals, right?"
Meng Ruocun looked at Yan Shan curiously. "Are you okay? You were so nervous. "
Yan Shan replied, "It's nothing. Father is probably unhappy that I gave up on the investigation."
Meng Ruocun: "After all, he is your father. He will definitely support you in the end."
Yan Shan smiled bitterly. "Yes."
However, Yan Shan finally got Yan Zhenjun's approval, so he was relieved. "Then there's no problem."
Early the next morning, Yan Shan packed up and prepared to leave Dong Hua.
"I've arranged to meet Meng Ruocun and Qiu Xingze at the south gate of the train station, but it's still a little early."
Yan Shan didn't sleep much last night. His mind was filled with all sorts of messy things. He only hoped to return to Central City as soon as possible and get away from all those twisted and evil things.
"I woke up early. I might as well go see Zhou Bai."
Yan Shan pondered for a moment, then walked out of the door and headed in the direction of Zhou Bai's dormitory. In his mind, Zhou Bai's lonely and helpless appearance from yesterday was still fresh in his mind.
After knocking on the door, Zhou Bai opened the door and said with some surprise, "Why are you here?"
Yan Shan said, "I'm going back to Central City."
Zhou Bai nodded wordlessly.
Yan Shan comforted him. "If there's anything, you can look for Qiu Xingze. I'll let him know and ask him to take care of you. Don't worry, the Plague Division has sent more experts over. Nothing will happen. "
Zhou Bai nodded listlessly and sighed. "I hope so."
Yan Shan suddenly sniffed and frowned. "What's this smell?"
Zhou Bai was puzzled. "Is there a smell?"
Yan Shan sniffed again. "Yes, it seems like …"
Yan Shan's eyes suddenly flashed as he stared at Zhou Bai, who had an innocent look on his face.
His legs trembled slightly. He slowly clenched his fists and his heartbeat gradually sped up.
Zhou Bai smiled. "What's wrong?"
"No … nothing." Yan Shan smiled awkwardly. "I've made an appointment with Meng Ruocun and the others. I'll be leaving first."
As Yan Shan turned around, a palm suddenly patted his shoulder. Yan Shan trembled violently.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Bai asked curiously. "Why do you look a little nervous?"
Yan Shan shook his head. "I'm fine. Come to Central City in the future … I'll take care of you …"
With that, Yan Shan turned around and quickly left.
Zhou Bai suddenly asked, "Right, I'm the victim. Maybe he'll come after me next."
"Will the Plague Division send someone to protect me?"
"I'll help you apply." Yan Shan turned around and smiled. He then left after saying that.
Zhou Bai looked at the interface. No message popped up.
Zhou Bai said, "Let's go for breakfast together?"
Yan Shan: "No thanks, I'm in a hurry."
Zhou Bai: "Alright then, I'll eat biscuits in the dorm."
Yan Shan's Intelligence -5
As Yan Shan left, images flashed through his mind.
"That smell … it's the smell of disinfectant from the Plague Division's laboratory … and there's a faint smell of Gui Hai Black Spirit …"
"… the disappearing research equipment is full of this smell …"
"… Zhou Bai clearly said that he no longer has Gui Hai Black Spirit …"
"… and the emotional changes yesterday …"
Thinking of the emotional changes, Master Plague's despairing and numb face suddenly appeared in Yan Shan's mind.
He quickly walked down the stairs. Before leaving the floor, he subconsciously looked back and saw that Zhou Bai, who was standing at the door just now, had disappeared without a trace.
Yan Shan's heart tightened. He sped down the stairs.
However, just as he crossed the first floor, loud and rapid footsteps came from upstairs. They were as dense as raindrops, rapidly approaching him.
'He's chasing me?'
Yan Shan suddenly unleashed his primordial spirit power and sprinted down. However, the footsteps behind him were like invisible ghosts, relentlessly chasing him, getting closer and closer.
Bang!
The door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open by Yan Shan. Two students who were about to enter looked at Yan Shan strangely. The latter's face was covered in sweat, and his eyes were extremely nervous.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you okay?"
Yan Shan shook his head at the two. "I'm fine, I'm fine." He looked back and saw an unfamiliar young man running down the stairs. The young man nodded at them and left.
Seeing this, Yan Shan heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, 'I must go to the office of the Plague Division. I must inform them …'
He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.
"No … Donghua City can't stop him at all." Fear emerged in Yan Shan's heart. The scene of countless cultivators lining up to commit suicide, Master Plague's ferocious and despairing face at the end, the black mud rushing toward his face … those terrifying scenes kept appearing in front of his eyes.
"If it's really him …"
"It's useless to tell the people here. If his power is triggered, it will only cause an even more terrifying distortion … I must leave this place and return to the central city to report to the Plague Division."
He suddenly turned around and gradually sped up. He was so fast that he left behind a series of afterimages as he ran toward the station.
As he ran, Yan Shan felt the air gradually turn turbid, and the surrounding light became slightly dimmer.
A strange and evil feeling kept rising in Yan Shan's heart.
The students passing by seemed to be secretly looking at him.
Not far away, a few school workers looked at him and whispered to each other.
Behind the window of a building, a pale-faced young girl stared at him with eyes full of hatred.
"Something's wrong … These people are very strange … Could it be that his power has already reached such a wide range?" Yan Shan was alarmed. "Did he discover me?"
"Are they watching me?"
"I can't let them discover my whereabouts."
His speed became faster and faster. At the same time, he avoided those strange people and picked alleys where there were no people.
Very soon, he walked out of a deserted alley a few hundred meters away from the station. He could already see Meng Ruocun and Qiu Xingze, who had come to see him off.
"I'm finally here."
Yan Shan heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, a figure slowly walked out of the alley and blocked his way.
"Zhou … Bai …"
Yan Shan looked at him with some fear. However, he saw Zhou Bai saying gently, "I've been discovered."
Yan Shan forced a smile. "What did you say?"
Zhou Bai also smiled. However, as he smiled, there seemed to be countless black mud churning in his shadow. Boundless fear rose in Yan Shan's heart.
"Stay here."
Boom! Yan Shan charged out fiercely. At the same time, he opened his mouth, wanting to shout something.
However, at the same time, countless black filth had already wrapped around his body and surged into his mouth. It completely enveloped him from head to toe and slowly dragged him into the darkness.
Yan Shan's eyes stared at the exit. As the black mud continued to spread, it finally enveloped his eyes. He completely lost his sense of the outside world.
…
Meng Ruocun suddenly turned his head and looked at an intersection on the street. He asked doubtfully, "Is someone calling us?"
"I didn't hear it." Qiu Xingze looked at the time. "Why isn't Yan Shan here yet?"
