The wall was painted with white plaster, like a ground covered in fresh snow, so clean that not a speck of dust could be seen.
There wasn't even a crack as thin as a hair, let alone a door or a doorfra.
What happened?
Wen Nan could confirm that the back door Guan Ailin had brought him to before was definitely here.
Could soone have sealed it up again and repainted it? That wouldn't dry so quickly, would it?
He still had the key from the side quest in his inventory, and he rembered the note that ca with it very well—"I never share this secret place with outsiders, but if it's you, you're welco anyti."
What welco anyti? Weld the door shut to welco him?
Seeing Wen Nan touching the wall with a bewildered look, Yu Shujun stepped out from the shadows in the corner behind him, stopped by his side, and said:
"If you want to go in, I can break the wall, Master."
Wen Nan turned to look at Yu Shujun, thought for a mont, nodded, and stepped back, "Then give it a try."
Yu Shujun reminded him, "Step back a bit further."
Wen Nan helplessly took two more steps back.
Only then did Yu Shujun draw a long sword from behind.
Swish—
A flash of golden light passed by.
In an instant, a slender crack appeared on the wall.
From that crack, bluish-black sludge seeped out, like thick dark blood from a wound, staining the originally spotless white wall.
"Wait a mont!"
Wen Nan suddenly shouted to stop and stepped forward, raising his hand to prevent Yu Shujun from striking a second blow.
Yu Shujun slightly tilted his head to look at him.
Wen Nan thought for a mont, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to go in anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and headed straight for the elevator hall at the end, "Let's go."
Yu Shujun watched his back, slightly furrowing his brows, finally sheathing the long sword and silently following.
The two walked into the elevator hall one after the other, and just as Wen Nan pressed the button for the top floor, the person beside him spoke, "Master."
"Hmm?" Wen Nan turned to look at him.
"Yang Mingzhong went to that café again from last ti," Yu Shujun said, "Should I send soone to watch him?"
It was probably the café staff, previously in cahoots with Yu Shujun, who had sent the tip-off.
Wen Nan thought for a mont, canceled the top floor button, and switched it to the G level, "No need, I'll go myself, so things should perhaps be discussed during this chance."
...
...
Café opposite Erin Group's north gate.
Just like the last ti, Yang Mingzhong was sitting alone by the window, with a cup of coffee, daydreaming.
When Wen Nan approached him, he slowly looked up, smiled at him, "Guild Leader." That expression seed like he had expected Wen Nan to co and was waiting for him.
Wen Nan took a seat opposite him, "Shall we talk?"
"Sure," Yang Mingzhong still had a gentle face like before, "What will you have? My treat."
Wen Nan smiled back, "This ti, it's on ."
Yang Mingzhong nodded, half-jokingly teased, "If the Guild Leader is treating, I'll have to drink a lot."
On hearing this, Wen Nan just smiled, understanding what Yang Mingzhong was implying, and not wanting to continue playing gas with him, he accessed the inventory system, then directly took out a small potion bottle with a "click" and placed it on the table.
Everyone knew what was inside that small potion bottle.
The coffee was soon served, and Wen Nan picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, then went straight to the point:
"Did you co for Li Shuyi?"
Yang Mingzhong's face still had that gentle smile, "I ca for my deceased wife."
Wen Nan paused, "Coincidentally, Li Shuyi also thinks she has a deceased husband."
Yang Mingzhong let out a bitter laugh, "You went to the accident site?"
Having received a positive answer, Yang Mingzhong continued, "You guessed so quickly, Guild Leader, as expected of you."
Saying this, Yang Mingzhong glanced at the [Truth Serum] placed at his side, then looked up at Wen Nan, "My story is a bit long, Guild Leader, would you spare so ti to listen to it?"
Wen Nan smiled, "You've already completed your main storyline ahead of ti, allocating so ti to hear about your past, that I can do."
Yang Mingzhong nodded and this ti, he didn't beat around the bush, he got straight to the point:
"Before deleting the account, my na was Wei Junjie."
...
...
[Damn, he really did restart after deleting? Damn it, wrong bet again, lost 25 Gold Coins]
[How could you get it wrong on such a giveaway bet? Bro, hear out, don't bet in this live stream room anymore, it's way too deep, I'm afraid you won't handle it]
[Seriously, even we seasoned folks have lost a lot here, with the way you're going, you'll end up losing everything]
[By the way, who is this Wei Junjie, to have restarted and co back, he must have been a big shot, right?]
[Never heard of him, but the na Wei Junjie, Emmm, sounds like soone who knows how to adapt!]
[Damn, that's a really cold pun]
[Star user *Short and Fat* has entered this live stream room, welco!]
[Short and Fat bro, why are you here just now?]
[You missed the most exciting reveal!]
[*Short and Fat*: Uh, no, I didn't miss anything, I just ca over from Yang Mingzhong's live stream]
[*Short and Fat*: I went there because I thought he looked familiar, and it turns out… it really was him!]
[Who?! Big bro, do you know him?!]
[*Short and Fat*: You've probably heard of him, right? Jade Face Peach Blossom]
[What the heck?!]
[That founder-level elder from the Ghost Control Master Alliance?!]
[That's a big shot amongst big shots, soone who can be on brotherly terms with the guild leaders of the six major guilds]
[He's apparently half-step to Gold? If he endured a bit more, he could buy an item card for a new account, then keep his current account in this instance, why rush to delete and start anew? Such a waste]
[No way, I heard Jade Face Peach Blossom, true to the na, is charming and suave, this guy is old, bald, and ugly…]
[After a restart, of course, he'd have a different appearance, right?]
[*Short and Fat*: No, he still sowhat resembles his old self and don't you think looking at just his face, he's quite handso? Just a bit bald]
[Damn, gotta admit, looking at just his face, he is kind of handso]
[So they say a man's essence is in a full head of hair, once it's gone, no handso face can hold up]
[Yeah, refer to Guo Donglin and Lin Junjie]
[Damn it]
[So why exactly did he pay such a huge price to hastily co back? Really for a ghost girl?]
[Doesn't your Ghost Control Master Alliance have a key principle that states ghost girls are slaves, are dogs, and should never be on equal footing with their masters?]
[By that principle, who would call their dog a wife?]
[Stop arguing, they're talking now, watch the stream properly!]
...
...
Yang Mingzhong's voice remained gentle and steady:
"Three years ago, I ca out of the trial map, filled with endless anticipation for this ga, entered this instance, t her, fell in love with her, married her, then… lost her."
