The Zhang Family

Hearing the voice that suddenly came from Yin Xue in his mind, Lin Mo frowned slightly.

He glanced at the wooden beast trembling like a sieve on the ground.

He glanced at Yin Xue, who was still concentrating with his eyes closed in the magic circle, and finally decided to stop.

The black sword that had been resting on the puppet beast's neck slowly moved away.

"You're lucky, she asked me to spare your life," Lin Mo said in a low voice.

The puppet beast felt as if it had been granted a pardon, and its entire puppet body went limp.

He quickly thanked her in a soft voice, "Thank... thank you for sparing my life!"

"Keep your voice down."

Lin Mo spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Yin Xue.

"She cannot be disturbed."

The puppet immediately covered its mouth with its two little wooden hands and nodded repeatedly.

Then, as if it had thought of something, it hurriedly said, "I... I can help guard the area! I absolutely won't let anyone disturb us!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Mo's agreement, its eyes flickered slightly.

It seemed as if a command had been issued using mental power.

At the same time, on the street downstairs, Ottmu, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly moved almost imperceptibly.

He stood up like a puppet and dusted himself off.

He turned around, pushed open the door of the tavern, and went straight upstairs.

Finally, they arrived at the door of Lin Mo's room and stood quietly like soldiers.

His eyes scanned the empty corridor warily.

Inside the room, the puppet beast explained to Lin Mo in a low voice.

"This is another skill of our Puppet Beast clan. We can control a weakened body and turn it into a living puppet. The man outside was originally a gambler who died on the riverbank outside the city due to debts, and I found him there."

Lin Mo glanced at the indistinct figure outside the door: "So you used him to disguise yourself and enter human society?"

Puppet Beast, or rather, Ultraman, nodded.

Lin Mo didn't say much about it.

Having one more person guarding the area is definitely not a bad thing.

He didn't ask any more questions and refocused his attention on being vigilant.

Time continued to pass.

The commotion in the streets reached its peak as the group of heroes entered the church.

They gradually dispersed as they were picked up by the honor guard sent by the city lord of Mingbei City.

The crowd of onlookers gradually returned home or to the tavern, and the murmurs subsided.

Lin Mo's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

With the biggest source of interference gone, we should be able to wait peacefully until Yin Xue is completed.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

The dark red magic circle on the bed began to flicker regularly.

The rotation speed gradually slowed down.

Yin Xue, who was sitting cross-legged, let out a long, comfortable breath and slowly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be a hint of weariness in her blood-red pupils.

But more than anything, it's the relief after completing the task.

"How is it?"

Lin Mo immediately stepped forward, his tone tinged with urgency.

Yin Xue flapped its little wings and flew up, stretching lazily.

He chuckled: "All done! The coordinates and passageway are temporarily stable. You, sit in the middle of the formation and concentrate."

At this point, Yin Xue emphasized, "Remember, what you see is just a projection. You cannot touch anything or make a sound. The guidance process may take several hours, but you can only observe for ten minutes."

Ten minutes!

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

That's enough. Even just one glance to make sure Mom is alright is enough!

He nodded emphatically and went to the center of the magic circle without hesitation.

Sit down cross-legged in the same posture Yin Xue had just adopted.

Yin Xue flew to his side, her small hand drawing several mysterious runes in the air before touching his brow.

"Relax and follow the guidance."

Lin Mo closed his eyes and did as instructed.

The next second, he felt his consciousness, or rather his soul, being violently pulled out by a powerful force!

It felt like I had been summoned.

The scene before my eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by endless darkness and a feeling of weightlessness.

It felt like traveling through time.

……

Inside the room, upon seeing Yin Xue wake up, the puppet beast, which had been huddled in the corner, finally shakily walked over.

puff.

He assumed a kneeling posture, prostrating himself on the ground.

The small voice, filled with awe and fear, said, "Greetings...Greetings, Your Majesty the Demon King!"

As a member of the Demon King's army, I have an innate fear of the Demon King.

Having stayed in the room for so long, Puppet Beast had roughly sensed the demon king's aura.

Yin Xue then focused all his attention on the little wooden puppet beast.

She hovered in mid-air, arms crossed, tilting her head to examine it.

A hint of amusement flashed in his blood-red eyes: "Raise your head."

The wooden puppet beast cautiously raised its wooden head.

"I have a few questions for you. Answer honestly."

Yin Xue's voice carried an undeniable authority.

"Yes! Yes! I will answer any question you may have!" the puppet beast quickly assured him.

Yin Xue thought for a moment, then pointed to the door: "Is that person outside your disguise in human society? How long have you been using it? Has it ever given itself away?"

The puppet beast quickly shook its head: "No...no! I've been very careful ever since I found this body two years ago."

"Um……"

Yin Xue stroked her chin, a satisfied smile appearing on her small face.

"Well disguised, and the identity is clean. Perfect!"

She suddenly flew to the puppet beast and rubbed her little hands together.

His eyes gleamed with excitement: "Quick, take me to the casino nearby! I've been itching to play! I've heard that human casinos have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves these days?"

"what?"

The puppet beast was stunned; its wooden jaw almost dropped.

He spared his own life just to have a fake identity to go to the casino?

He had originally thought that Yin Xue would ask him about the Demon King's army.

"What? You don't want to?"

Yin Xue narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous.

"Yes! Yes!"

The puppet beast was so frightened that it dared not utter a single word of dissent.

It manipulated the person outside the door to straighten their clothes.

Yin Xue chuckled, then transformed into a faint red light and slipped into the man's pocket to hide.

The two then walked out of the tavern together.

Their destination was the largest casino in Mingbei City.

……

At this moment, Lin Mo was naturally completely unaware of what was happening in the room.

After wandering through the darkness for an unknown period of time.

The scene before his eyes suddenly brightened!

The familiar smell of disinfectant.

The lights were a stark, bright white.

Smooth tile floor.

A nurse in a light blue uniform hurrying by...

Everything instantly struck at the deepest part of his memory.

Hospital!

It really is the hospital from his original world!

A surge of immense excitement and indescribable sorrow welled up inside Lin Mo, but he forced himself to suppress it.

He is currently in a soul observation state, and Yin Xue said he only has ten minutes!

He dared not delay for even a second, his mind racing.

He moved swiftly through the hospital corridor like a ghost.

He knew this place too well; after his mother was diagnosed, he had practically walked every inch of the floor.

Soon, he arrived at the door of the ward he remembered.

He was a little nervous standing outside the ward.

It's been three days since I was summoned, and I wonder how my mom is doing now.

Has the condition worsened? Has the surgery begun...?

He didn't have time to think much before walking through the door.

however.

The scene in the ward was still familiar, but the mother's bed was now empty.

Where are they!?
