Chapter 257: The Central Trial Begins
"How long will it be before the Central Trial begins?"
There were no surprises, it seemed that all this was expected by Cao Xiaoseng.
"A week."
"I hope to rush back, this central trial is entered by region, don't be together at that time."
————————
"Knock knock."
"Who, come so early."
In the area where the rich live in the center of Muyang City, an old voice came from the compound, and the sound of slow footsteps was accompanied by coughing from time to time.
The creaking mahogany door opened, and before the sun had yet to rise, only a wet mist rushed in from outside.
"Leaf ...... Leaf white. ”
The old man's hand holding the door trembled slightly, the door that had just been opened almost closed again, Ye Bai stepped forward in time to resist the door.
And the old man still looked stunned, looking at Ye Bai, whose face was slightly dark, and the bitterness in his heart gradually rose.
"You know it all."
The old man looked at Ye Bai's eyes, he wanted to dodge but couldn't hide from his heart, Ye Mu not only told Li Fei to take care of himself before leaving, but also asked him when Ye Bai left.
"Hmm."
"Well, come in, it's all my old man's fault."
The old man turned sideways, and at the moment when he lowered his head, Ye Bai's heart also hurt, he had only been away from here for more than a year, and he was already a person.
Familiar people have left one by one, and now there are only memories left for me here.
"Butler, you're old."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old housekeeper's eyes have increased a lot, and the original half-white hair is now completely white.
"Ye Bai, what to drink?"
"No, you don't." Ye Bai waved his hand, motioned for the old housekeeper to sit down as well, and asked, "How did Mu'er disappear?" ”
The old housekeeper still poured a glass of water for Ye Bai, and he also had a water cup in front of him, rubbing the edge of the water cup in his hand, and began to tell what happened.
With the sound of coughing from time to time, the water in the cup in front of the old butler gradually bottomed out.
"Are you saying that Mu'er disappeared in the Li Mansion?"
His fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and Ye Bai began to sort out everything the old housekeeper said.
In the first few days, he was just in a low mood, and the old housekeeper said very clearly, when he brought breakfast to Ye Mu every morning, although Ye Mu was smiling, the sorrow in his eyebrows could not disappear.
Later, Ye Mu stopped coming to his side after returning home from school, and what the old housekeeper remembered the most was that one day Ye Mu asked him if there was any way to contact the main city.
That day, the old housekeeper remembered very clearly, when he delivered the meal in the morning, Ye Mu's eyes were red and seemed to cry, and the old housekeeper went to Ye Mu's room afterwards, and the pillow was wet.
Ye Bai secretly compared the time node of Ye Mu's change in his heart, and found that when Ye Mu asked him, it was almost the time when he fell into the spatial crack.
"Is there a sense in the dark?" Suddenly, Ye Bai remembered the inexplicable worry he had about Ye Mu in Uncle Sha's house.
However, what the old housekeeper said afterwards caused Ye Bai to question, and in the next few days, Ye Mu suddenly seemed to have changed back to his original appearance, and he would accompany him every day after returning from school, and he seemed very happy.
This change lasted until one day Mu'er came back from school, and that night, Ye Mu disappeared.
"It seems that Mu'er's school has to be visited."
Although the old housekeeper had already told Ye Bai about what happened at school, he still wanted to find out for himself.
The strength of the fingers hitting the table became stronger and stronger, and the sound of knocking sounded from time to time, and suddenly Ye Bai's five fingers clenched and smashed his fist on the table.
"Damn, the time span is too large, and the clues left at the beginning are almost all gone now, and nothing useful can be analyzed based on these words alone."
"Ye Bai, are you okay?"
The old housekeeper didn't dare to look at Ye Bai's eyes, just stared at the water spilled on the table, and asked worriedly.
Ye Bai gasped violently a few times, slowly calmed down, and apologized to the old housekeeper, "Grandpa housekeeper, you go on." ”
"Hmm. I slept very late that night, because I had to report to the head of the house that Mu'er came over, and I didn't sleep until more than three o'clock, Mu'er was still there before I went to bed, but I got up the next morning and saw no one in sight, and there was nothing abnormal that night after watching the brain monitoring. ”
Everything is normal, Ye Bai has gone through the information in his mind more than once, and the only thing that can be called supernatural is what happened to Mu'er between three and five o'clock in the morning.
The matter is almost understood, and Ye Bai is not ready to stay in the Li Mansion for long, telling the old housekeeper not to blame himself too much, under the monitoring of the Arya system, Mu'er can disappear mysteriously, which is no longer something that ordinary people can do.
Sure enough, in Ye Mu's school, I learned that someone from Muyang City told Ye Mu that he had died, and most of the things were the same as what the old housekeeper said, but to Ye Bai's surprise, Ye Mu's teacher was very interested in Mu'er, and kept asking if he had found Ye Mu.
Back in Muyang City, he had already completed two of the original scheduled investigation goals, and if there were no clues for the last one, he could only go back to the main city and shine during the central trial, so that all mankind could help find Mu'er.
The sun overhead had begun to become hot, and after the morning bustle, Muyang City began to fall silent again, and Ye Bai dragged his heavy steps towards the outer city.
The wooden door creaked, the musty smell came to the face, and the warm photos on the wall were long gone, only the blue and red tick lines on the pillars in the room seemed to tell something.
Ye Bai went back to his room and sat down, regardless of the dust that no one had cleaned up for more than a year, he had a hunch that if something happened to Mu'er, he would definitely come back here, no matter how safe it was here, it was just the most heartwarming memory of a little girl when she was the loneliest.
After a year of no one cleaning, there was dust everywhere, and like Mu Bai Pavilion, many clues disappeared in the passage of time.
Ye Bai sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes closed, and in an instant there was a whining sound in the room, and in the sultry noon, there was a slight coolness in the room.
Suddenly, a blue light appeared in front of Ye Bai, flashed away, and then another, more and more, drifting towards the entire room.
And at this time, the situation in the entire house was under Ye Bai's monitoring, Qing Fan was right, the most sensitive thing in this world is only the power of attributes, and any slight fluctuations cannot escape the detection of the power of attributes.
In the water attribute power floating in the air, Ye Bai could clearly feel the route he had just walked, and the water attribute power was fluttering rapidly, which was the result of the energy left behind after he walked through.
The power of the water attribute continued to float around, and if Mu'er had been here a year ago, it would definitely leave traces.
Although these traces are very small or even covered with dust, as long as someone stays, they will damage the substance, and Ye Bai is looking for the slightest damage that is covered in dust.
Suddenly, a footprint appeared in his mind, from the door to the living room, Ye Bai didn't pay attention to these footprints, with Mu'er's weight, he would not have left such deep footprints at all, and looking at the size of the footprints, it should have been left by a man.
Ye Bai paid most of his attention to the location of the door, if Mu'er came back, he would definitely leave traces at the door, the power of the water attribute was densely spread at the door, and the door could not be seen with the naked eye, and the blue light had already covered the entire door.
Suddenly, Ye Bai stood up, closed his eyes and suddenly opened them, he had just found half a female footprint in those deeper footprints, and Ye Bai and Ye Mu had grown up together since childhood, and they could see at a glance that they were Mu'er's footprints.
Walking quickly out of the room, he came to the pillar in the room with their heights engraved on it, red and blue, and there was a red line that stretched crookedly to the blue line, the mark left by him when he was six years old and Mu'er was three years old.
Ye Bai gently stroked the traces on it, and the corners of his mouth smiled, Mu'er, where are you, mother disappeared, and now you are gone, maybe only at this moment will this strong boy reveal the softness in his heart.
"Click."
Suddenly, Ye Bai's rubbing fingers stopped, and he gently wiped the crooked traces of the red thread with his hand, and a black lotus flower slowly revealed.
"What is this?" In Ye Bai's memory, Mu'er had never painted here, and it was even more impossible for him.
Could it be that this is the clue that Mu'er left him, and suddenly Ye Bai was shocked in his heart, "Mu'er, search for records about the black lotus, and by the way, imprint a painting." ”
A blue figure flew out of Ye Bai's wrist, and disappeared beside Ye Bai after a while, and Ye Bai looked at the information in front of him blankly, and none of them were useful.
There are a lot of introductions to the white lotus flower before the Dark Age, but they are useless, and there is no record of the black lotus.
The main city of the Green Forest, Tianmu College.
"Little monk, five days have passed, why hasn't Ye Bai come back yet, should he ......."
Yao Ling didn't say anything about this, she didn't dare to imagine the scene after Ye Bai's accident.
"No hurry, there are two more days."
Cao Xiaoseng** held his upper body, boxing slowly, his fair skin slowly turned bronze, and a growing middle-level aura permeated the room.
Time flies, and two days have passed.
Cao Xiaoseng, Mo Li, Yao Ling, and Huyan Jiayi gathered together and waited for the start of the central trial.
Huyan Jiayi has disappeared since Ye Bai left, and when she reappeared this morning, she already had a trial quota.
This time, the rare Cao Xiaoseng had an anxious look on his face, he knew something about this trial, and fighting alone was definitely looking for death.
"How much longer?"
"Less than an hour." The medicine spirit replied.
"Wait half an hour at the end."
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly Cao Xiaoseng's brain rang.
"It's Ye Bai who is back, but we don't have time to go back to the academy, so we don't have to wait for him."
"It's good to be back."
And at this time, the three main cities, the nine affiliated cities, the blue light that no one could see spread rapidly, and it didn't take long for Arya's voice to appear.
"The Central Trial Begins."
