"Good stuff to see, give the streamer watermelon *66 and leave a message: Streamer, you've worked hard~"
"That red light just now, it came from this direction, right? What happened?"
"Currently, there don't seem to be any major problems. The team members are quite reliable, the streamer can rest assured~"
"My friend lives over there, she said she thought it was going to rain just now, but it was just a false alarm."
In the live stream room, the viewers' bullet comments flew by.
It all happened so suddenly.
The streamer was originally going to do another mission, but before they could even react to what was happening, they saw the streamer fighting with two monsters.
When the streamer was busy, they wouldn't pay attention to them, so the viewers could only silently... cheer them on with gifts.
The streamer, when serious, looked particularly imposing.
However, most viewers were concerned about one thing.
...What the ghost shopkeeper said earlier, it felt like a premonition of something.
"Does anyone recognize that 'Our King'?"
"Clearly the big boss behind the scenes. After defeating the minions, the big boss appears."
"Surname Wu, given name Wang, let's search on Baidu??"
"You're serious, upstairs? I think it's best to go out less these days."
The viewers wanted to help find the big boss, but it was obviously impossible.
They might end up being the ones to get killed while searching.
After thinking about it, the best they could do was to take care of themselves and not give the big boss any experience points.
Just then, Jiang Lin on the live stream screen moved.
He turned and walked into the underworld passage that had just opened.
It didn't seem like his help was needed here.
As the underworld passage closed, in the distance, Nie Jiu and other ghost officers were still conducting their final search.
...
...
"I just dealt with two, there shouldn't be any more here."
"Let's go check the other side to see if there are any stragglers." Da Feng Novel Network
The two ghost officers, walking together, flew to the other side.
Beside them, through an open window, a exquisitely decorated and cute children's room could be seen.
A baby was lying on a soft, crib-enclosed large bed.
The baby had fluffy hair on its head, eyes like black grapes, and a tender, fair face that looked very soft.
It was wearing a fluffy dinosaur suit, and due to its posture, a row of raised green spines (thorns) could be seen on the back of the outfit.
The baby was looking out the window, as if confirming something.
After a while, it slowly got up and sat on the large bed, holding a semi-transparent object in its hands.
It looked like mist, or like a blob of jelly.
But if Nie Jiu were there, they would know that it was a wisp of remnant soul.
"Yiya!"
The baby patted the little thing, looking happy and curious.
As if it had discovered a fun new toy.
"Ya! Ya!"
It held the remnant soul in its hands, rubbing and kneading it, its face showing surprise.
The remnant soul was muddled, seemingly unaware of anything, and instinctively tried to escape when being kneaded.
But it was quickly caught by the baby's hand at its tail tip.
"Ya!" You're not allowed to leave!
On the baby's forehead, a cinnabar mole was dotted.
Red as blood, yet filled with a strange beauty.
"???"
The remnant soul was somewhat confused, and couldn't quite understand.
Although it seemed to have forgotten many things, in its subconscious, humans shouldn't be able to touch them directly.
As it was thinking, a fluffy white rabbit plush toy was placed on its head.
"Yiya!" So cute!
The baby giggled, sitting on the bed, clapping its little hands with delight.
After playing for a while longer, a neatly dressed man walked in from the bedroom door.
"Qingqing, what are you playing with, laughing so happily?"
The man walked in, first looking at what the baby was playing with, then picked up the baby and affectionately nuzzled its face.
"Qingqing is playing with toys? Have you missed Daddy today?"
The baby seemed very amused, giggling.
In its laughing mouth, tiny baby teeth could be faintly seen.
"Did you wash your hands when you came back? You can't hold Qingqing if you haven't washed your hands."
From outside the bedroom, before the person even entered, the woman's voice was heard first.
Xia Wenzhe, while playing with his beloved daughter, said to his wife, "Of course I washed them."
"Qingqing doesn't dislike Daddy, right?"
"Giggle giggle~" The baby opened its mouth, its eyes smiling like crescent moons.
The remnant soul on the bed finally found an opportunity to slip away.
It quietly retreated, floated out of the crib's railing, and flew towards the window.
"Yiya! Big jelly, don't run!"
The baby, held in its father's arms, yipped in that direction.
Bang!
The remnant soul, which had just reached the window, suddenly felt it hit something.
It moved aside and hit something again.
It carefully examined the air in front of it, then looked out the window.
The tiny remnant soul was filled with great confusion.
It wandered around the room but couldn't leave this room at all.
"What is Qingqing looking at?"
Xia Wenzhe, holding the baby, looked over there and saw a small bird flying away from a branch outside the window.
Xia Wenzhe smiled and said, "That's a little bird, does Qingqing want to be friends with the little bird?"
As he spoke, the woman who had spoken earlier entered the room, urging Xia Wenzhe to go eat.
"Let's go, Qingqing, go eat with Daddy and see what delicious food Mommy made for us."
"Yiya~"
The baby cooed, as if responding.
The remnant soul floated over and looked towards the living room from the bedroom doorway, muddled.
In the living room, the family of three was sitting at the dining table.
The TV opposite the sofa was on, playing a drama adapted from a popular online novel.
The dialogue and music on the TV made the room feel even livelier.
From time to time, the laughter of the family of three could be heard.
The remnant soul was initially trying to find a way out, but gradually, its attention was drawn to the screen.
It watched with almost obsessive fascination, having no other thoughts.
...
...
Night fell.
A dark shadow weaved through the houses.
It checked the place where Jiang Lin had dealt with the ghost shopkeeper during the day, and then followed Jiang Lin to the place where he had dealt with the shop, looking around.
It looked everywhere, seemingly searching for something.
"???"
The dark shadow paused, looking at the empty ground.
Why was nothing left?
Jiang Lin had packed up the entire shop and everything inside.
Jiang Lin figured that maybe he could discover something if he took it back.
Even if there were no new discoveries, it couldn't be left in the human world, so it had to be packed up and taken away.
The dark shadow circled in the sky for two more rounds, and finally had to return empty-handed.
...
At the same time, a Black Wuchang chased a target to the border of the Eastern Hall Underworld.
The Black Wuchang looked at the territory of the Eastern Hall, then at the direction the target had fled, hesitated for a moment, and then floated in.
He thought he would capture the target first, and if the Eastern Hall discovered him, he would explain then...
...

(PS: 1 Although Xu Asan sought death, Xu Liu's will to survive was very strong, so at the last moment, he desperately wanted to live.
As for who the remnant soul that survived in the end was... it had forgotten everything and was incomplete.
Perhaps, in the future, it would become the baby's 'big jelly.' Not Xu Asan, nor Xu Liu.
2 Speaking of the baby.
The former Meng Po, Xia Xiaoqing, did not drink Meng Po's soup, but she was a decisive and straightforward person. Since she decided to let go of the past, she would not carry those 'burdens' on her journey. She wanted to welcome new life with a clear and refreshed spirit.
So after reincarnation, she sealed her memories. Perhaps at some point in the future, when she felt ready, or when she needed those memories, she would unlock them herself.
In this life, she is called Xia Qingqing.
She wants to live this life easily and effortlessly, and also to be like the clouds in the sky, able to decide her own form.
And so, Mushroom won't say too much more~❀)
