Chapter 1408: Chapter 709. Baobao is in Danger (2)
Chapter 709
“Where is Baobao?” Mo Xiaoye also asked at the same time.
“Baobao’s Master and Ancestor, I am Xiaobai, Baobao’s Contract Beast. Baobao is now on the Second Floor of the City Lord’s Mansion, captured by someone! Moreover, Baobao, just like you, has been enchanted by a poisonous insect, currently not in a clear state of mind. The noises every midnight are actually an Illusion Realm, and you fell into the Illusion last night too, which is how Baobao got captured. If I’m not mistaken, they’re creating illusions for people in the city, seemingly for the purpose of kidnapping children. You must be careful, especially at night, and must not be controlled by the Illusion again. I won’t be able to awaken you like this any longer…” Xiaobai hurriedly finished what it wanted to say, and its Divine Sense in their soul sea completely dissipated.
With the disappearance of Xiaobai’s Divine Sense, Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye fully regained their senses. They exchanged a look, filled with remorse, surprised that the enemy was so formidable as to have ensnared them both…
“Let’s go, let’s go downstairs first to ask about the situation, and then head to the City Lord’s Mansion. To dare capture Baobao, they’re really seeking death!” Di Chen said with a cold look in his eyes.
Mo Xiaoye nodded, and the two of them went straight downstairs. Some people who hadn’t slept at night had already gone to bed, while others who had just woken up were sitting downstairs eating Breakfast…
Di Chen called over a Waiter and handed him a handful of Dark Stones, asking, “Are there many children in this city?”
“Children? What children?” the Waiter, surprised, asked back.
“He is asking if there are many children under 10 years old in this Sunset City?” Mo Xiaoye asked coldly.
“Under 10 years old? There aren’t any, I have never seen any!” the Waiter reflected before answering.
Upon hearing this, Di Chen’s eyes turned frosty. Never seen any? How could that be possible? If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a pair of Little Boys around 10 years old on the Second Floor yesterday…
Thinking this, Di Chen stood up, heading straight for the Second Floor. Mo Xiaoye wasn’t sure what he intended, but still followed him up…
Di Chen carefully recalled the scene he witnessed the day before, and finally stopped outside the door of a Room in the middle of the Second Floor, raising his hand to knock…
“Come in!” an aged voice called from inside.
Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye pushed the door and walked in, to see two old men sitting inside the room, both seemingly badly injured, with very pale complexions…
“Who are you?” One of the old men in black clothes, seeing Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye, asked with confusion.
“Excuse me, where are the two Twin boys that were with you yesterday?” Di Chen asked, looking at them.
Upon hearing this, the two old men furrowed their brows in puzzlement, and the old man in black clothes asked with confusion once again, “What boys? We’ve only ever been the two of us, and we have never seen any boys…”
They did not remember seeing any boys with themselves. However, for some reason, both felt quite uncomfortable this morning, as if they had lost something important, yet they could not recall what it was no matter how hard they tried…
Seeing this, Di Chen realized it was true. If he and Mo Xiaoye hadn’t been awakened by Baobao’s Contract Beast, they would probably have also forgotten Baobao’s existence…
Mo Xiaoye instantly grasped Di Chen’s intention, feeling a chill in her heart. Fortunately, they were awakened by Baobao’s Contract Beast; otherwise, how could they explain this to Jiuli…
“It’s all right now, sorry for the disturbance, let’s go!” said Di Chen.
He turned around, ready to leave with Mo Xiaoye, when suddenly the other old man in white clothes called out, “Wait a moment…”
