Chapter 1351 - 175: Ghost Killing Sect
Xiao Ya sneered: "Idiot, it’s the people from the Ghost Killing Sect who are good at using this method, it’s not just the Ghost Killing Sect who use it! I just happened to think of it and mentioned it, can’t you figure it out, are you some big dumbo?"
"Oh, I misunderstood." Xu Shu bravely admitted.
Xiao Ya rubbed her chin and muttered to herself: "But speaking of this matter, it’s a bit weird. The time they were wiped out was quite close to the time of the Jing Wang Mansion tragedy back then..."
Xu Shu’s heart stirred: "Are you suspecting that the Ghost Killing Sect is related to the Jing Wang Mansion tragedy?"
He was familiar with Jing Wang Mansion, it’s the place full of Chang Ghosts, where you have to silently recite ’learning without thinking leads to ruin’. Xiao Ya said this situation was caused by her writing error back then.
Xiao Ya shook her head: "Not clear. You know, I was just a child at that time. Anyway, someone will handle this matter. Dare to commit crimes in the family courtyard, this person has eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s guts. Brother Xu Shu, are you interested in investigating who did it with me?"
Xu Shu laughed: "Ha, investigations are fine, but didn’t you just brag that the family courtyard has comprehensive security... um."
The two left together, and those present seemed not to recognize Xiao Ya’s appearance, but did not stop them either.
The two exited the Judgement Department and changed directions.
Xiao Ya bounced and skipped ahead to lead the way, while Xu Shu leisurely followed behind, at first glance, like a pair of siblings out for a stroll.
It’s worth mentioning that within the entire safety zone city, the area around the Star Tower certainly belongs to the best feng shui locations on the ground.
Because it’s the only place in the entire safety zone where you can see the sun all day without going up to a thousand meters high.
Another place with this privilege is called the Upper City, a human paradise where even lying there to sunbathe requires a fee.
If you look down from above, it’s as if they forcefully carved out a vacancy among the dense steel forest full of towering trees.
"Even in such a bizarre Penglai District, the Astronomy Association still has some say, although, seemingly far less than in other safety zones."
Xu Shu walked with a smile.
Very soon, the smile froze.
He noticed that Xiao Ya’s target was actually the building he had been to before.
"Wait a minute, let me check, the family courtyard you mentioned, wouldn’t be where my parents are..."
Before Xu Shu could finish his sentence, Xiao Ya nodded and said, "Yeah, the buildings where your family is temporarily housed are the family courtyard."
"...Damn!"
This made Xu Shu unable to sit still, hurriedly speeding up his pace and rushing into the building.
Unfortunately, he found that the accident happened indeed in the building where his parents were.
But fortunately for him, it was not the same unit.
Moreover, when Xu Shu found them, one of these middle-aged parents had already resumed the card game with neighbors, and the other stood in the corridor, chatting with others and watching the commotion.
After all, suddenly seeing many prosecutors from the Judgement Department coming in and out, made them both nervous and curious.
Xu Shu was speechless, reminding them not to casually talk to strangers before reuniting with Xiao Ya, the two heading to the accident site together.
It was on the eighteenth floor, which actually had quite good meaning, but unfortunately, the feng shui didn’t seem good.
During this time, Xiao Ya curiously stared at Xu Shu: "You seem very worried about an accident happening to your parents... They’re just ordinary people, why so tense? Also, I looked it up, they appear to be your foster parents, not biological ones."
"What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Just because my dad and mom are ordinary people, not Transcendents, I shouldn’t care?" Xu Shu was almost thrown off by her, then added, "Also, don’t open my box randomly, okay."
"Sorry, not intentional." Xiao Ya stuck out her tongue.
"Why say such random things?" Xu Shu glanced strangely at the one-meter-two little girl.
Xiao Ya sighed: "Just something that came to mind. You know, in my position, I’ve seen too many people. For Transcendents, strength and mindset go hand in hand; the stronger the strength, the less they’ll care about ordinary people, even family.
"There are indeed many people like you who value emotions and family, after all, they’re relatives, like that little guy who was just very loving with his mortal wife, so we established the family courtyard. But... I can only say, a third-tier expert who still cares deeply about mortal life and death, I almost never see."
"Why?" Xu Shu asked.
Xiao Ya moved her incredibly realistic eyebrows: "Why what? Ordinary people’s lives are too fragile, often during our upgrades, you look back one day, and they’re old, and a wind could blow them away. Compared to us, mortal lives have no much difference to a cat or a dog, they are simply not worth noticing."
"Do you think so too? Do you think your family are insects?" Xu Shu frowned.
"I don’t, my family are all Transcendents, it’s just that the people I’ve seen, as they grow in power, gradually detach from their biological families." Xiao Ya said, blinking cheekily at Xu Shu, "By the way, when I checked your background earlier, I was startled because the last third-tier expert with a similar situation to you was Ning Baishou."
"You presumptuous rascal." Xu Shu rolled his eyes.
Xiao Ya smirked wickedly: "Hehe, it’s probably because you’ve advanced too quickly, and haven’t left mortal life for long. After some time, it’ll be the same for you. Hey, maybe this process won’t take more than a year."
