Chapter 3764 Violation of the Prohibition
Holding a cup of hot tea, Huang Xiaoyun seemed to feel relieved. "Mr. Luo...Mr. Luo, is this store yours?"
"Someone else transferred it to me."
transfer?
What a strange statement.
But does this store really have any business... It seems like few people come here - this is a place with a bit of mystery.
"What happened?"
"what?"
"I see you don't look very well."
"No...no." Huang Xiaoyun shook her head subconsciously, but she found that Mr. Luo's eyes seemed to have seen through her. "Yes...a little bit. I haven't been sleeping well recently and often have nightmares."
"Nightmare." Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "It usually comes from a person's inner heart, some kind of emotion that cannot be released, or some kind of event. Did Miss Huang experience something terrible?"
Huang Xiaoyun just shook his head silently, and after a while he said: "Mr. Luo, you are a local of [Qilin City]... Is it true that all...supernatural powers are banned here?"
"Why do you ask that?" Boss Luo asked curiously, "I think the specialness of [Qilin City] has actually been confirmed in many aspects."
"... Just curious." Huang Xiaoyun forced himself to smile, "Because... I'm always worried about things like this, and I don't know when it will happen to me. After all... After all, I see a lot of reports about this every day."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "If this place wasn't special enough, there wouldn't be so many people wanting to come here."
"That's true..." Huang Xiaoyun nodded.
——So was what I just saw just an illusion...was it because I cared too much?
"Oh...right." Boss Luo suddenly seemed to remember something, "Miss Huang, please wait a moment, I remembered that there is something that may be suitable for you."
Under Huang Xiaoyun's curious gaze, Boss Luo quickly walked into the house, and after a while, he came out holding a wooden box.
"This is..." Huang Xiaoyun looked at the item that appeared after the wooden box was opened and asked in surprise: "Candle?"
"Aromatherapy candles." Boss Luo introduced with a smile: "The fragrance released after it is lit will soothe your mind, help you sleep well, and can also... help you forget some unhappy things."
Huang Xiaoyun picked up the rather heavy scented candle out of curiosity, leaned forward to take a sniff, and did not smell anything - not even the slight odor of an ordinary candle.
"Thank you..." Huang Xiaoyun shook his head: "But my question has been around for a long time."
"Miss Huang, why don't you take it back and try it first?" Boss Luo said softly, "The subconscious mind is sometimes related to one's own psychological suggestion. When you think it will work, it will naturally help you."
"Well... okay then." Huang Xiaoyun nodded hesitantly. She... to some extent, was not very good at rejecting other people's kindness. "How much is this?"
"This is a trial sample." Boss Luo said calmly, "If Miss Huang finds it useful, we can talk about it later."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Luo."
"But remember one thing." Boss Luo suddenly said, "When the candle is lit, it is your nightmare that is burning. The deeper your nightmare, the faster it burns."
……
"Xiao Yun? Xiao Yun! So you are here!"
"Ah... ah?"
Huang Xiaoyun looked at the street blankly. People were coming and going in the commercial pedestrian street. It turned out that it was lunch time and the originally deserted street had become crowded.
She sat on a bench on the pedestrian street, holding a small and exquisite box in her hand... When did she leave the store?
Mr. Luo...
"Xiaoyun, are you okay?" Bob's wife looked at Huang Xiaoyun with a worried look on her face, and then reached out and touched Huang Xiaoyun's forehead, "You suddenly ran out, what happened?"
"Yes, I'm sorry." Huang Xiaoyun said apologetically, "I... I suddenly remembered something. I ran out just now, which must have caused you a lot of trouble! I'm sorry!"
Huang Xiaoyun stood up suddenly and bowed 90 degrees.
Eyes from all around looked over curiously.
Sister Bob pulled Huang Xiaoyun away in a bad mood, "I was the one who brought you out. If anything happened to upset you, it's my fault...Okay, I'm glad you're okay. Let's stop here today and go back first! You're so scared that your face is blue!"
"Okay...ok."
"What is that in your hand?"
"I just bought a little gadget..."

……
[Qilin City], Law Enforcement Bureau, First Brigade.
Sir Ma walked into the department with a gloomy face. Upon seeing him, everyone hurriedly acted like a little monk, some made phone calls, some wrote reports... In short, they were very busy.
As Ma SIR's half-apprentice, Lin SIR had no choice but to walk into Ma SIR's office under the only hope of everyone.
"Sir Ma, has Director Liu given you a blow to your lungs again?"
"Isn't it all about Daidoji Yuga's business?" Ma SIR sighed unhappily, "This woman is almost killing me!"
Mr. Lin spread his hands helplessly.
...It's not that they didn't work hard enough. From the time the case happened until now, it can be said that they have done everything they should have done, but the person has not been found. This can even lead to the worst possible outcome.
[Qilin City] The power of law enforcement cannot be deployed endlessly for one person. Currently, the joint search team is still there, but the manpower has been reduced by more than half.
"Didn't they say the consulate didn't seem to be pushing us any more?"
"Let's not talk about this." Ma Sir shook his head. "Did you receive any news today?"
"A lot of them came here for nothing." Lin Sir shook his head, "They all came here for the bounty, but none of them are real."
"Keep going, don't miss any chance to provide clues." Ma SIR said in the tone of a senior: "You think law enforcement involves gunfights, chasing criminals, racing, and explosions! In fact, real law enforcement involves answering the phone, making calls, and looking up information!"
There is also a computer minesweeper, right?
Seeing Ma Sir taking such a short break to ask a question, Lin Sir's face suddenly turned awkward. "By the way, there is one more thing to deal with. Do you still remember Li Dongnan?"
"Who?"
Lin SIR said: "The guy who wanted to burn the ancient paintings at the Song Dynasty Hotel on the day when Daidoji Yujia disappeared."
"Oh... I just remembered something." Ma Sir slapped his head, "Why, is this guy still locked up?"
"Indeed." Lin Sir smiled bitterly, "He injured people at the time. One was the security guard at the scene, and the other was the etiquette lady at the scene. In addition, the Daidoji Foundation also wanted to sue the other party on the grounds that the ancient painting was contaminated after being touched. The problem suddenly became complicated. And haven't we been looking for people recently? We don't have time to manage..."
"How long has Li Dongnan been in prison?"
"Ten days at most."
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. After all, the ancient paintings are extremely valuable. It would be difficult to deal with if the Daidoji Foundation keeps holding on to them... After all, it happened in full view of everyone, so there is no way to deny it.
"Let's release the person first." Ma Sir shook his head, "I'll ask the Daidoji Foundation to send someone over later to see if we can reach a private settlement."
"No need, someone came to bail out Li Dongnan today." Lin SIR said quickly: "This Li Dongnan turned out to be the family member of a [Special Talent]!"
"He has a family member who is an [Extraordinary] Awakener?!"
"Well, his younger brother is called Li Donglai..." Lin SIR then said awkwardly: "In fact, he has been taken away. I came in just to inform you of this matter..."
"Asshole, you actually didn't ask for my consent for such a big thing!"
"He has a [Special Talent] certificate... Isn't it a special case? What can I do..." Lin SIR said bitterly: "If this Li Donglai makes trouble in the bureau, Director Liu will demote me..."
This is indeed not surprising. Ma Sir knows it in his heart, but he subconsciously doesn't like the privileges of the [Super] awakeners... It's too easy to form a class system this way.
But the extraordinary society, Shenzhou needs extraordinary people to maintain and fight against other foreign forces, so it has to do so. If we don't recruit these awakened people as much as possible before they start, it will be more harmful to society if we leave them alone.
"Be more alert next time." Ma Sir shook his head, "Let's go ask the Daidoji Foundation if they are willing to reconcile."
……
……
A green-plate Bia Tang car was slowly following along the crowded road.
Li Donglai looked expressionlessly at Li Dongnan, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a haggard face and looked as if he had aged ten years: a father and brother who was fifteen years older than him and had taken care of him growing up...
"After we get home, let's take a shower first to get rid of the bad luck." Li Donglai tried his best to suppress the irritability in his heart. "You must have not eaten or slept well after being in there for so many days. What do you want to eat? Let's buy something on the way..."
"Whatever." Li Dongnan whispered, "I have no appetite..."
"Look at you, you're such a grown-up, can you move before doing anything..." Li Donglai had a hot temper, but when he saw his brother's gray hair and dull eyes, he said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's eat at the roast chicken shop downstairs. I'll call the boss and ask him to roast it."
Li Dongnan slowly closed his eyes, leaned against the window glass, and ignored everyone.
Li Donglai could only sigh secretly. Ever since his sister-in-law committed suicide by jumping off a building because of that incident, his brother's world has become dark and he has not yet recovered from the blow.
He was also upset, not only because of Li Dongnan's matter... but also because of his own secret departure from Zhongnanshan College.
The phone was almost blown up by Xiao Yuan and his friends.
Li Donglai knew that he would most likely be punished this time... but it was not a big problem. After all, he was a student of the first batch and had received some preferential treatment. He would just correct his attitude and admit his mistake.
There was no conversation along the way. Li Dongnan was like a walking corpse. After returning home, he immediately hid in his room... Not long after, Li Donglai heard faint crying sounds coming from the room. He wanted to knock on the door, but finally gave up. He had to leave the food and ran downstairs alone to get some fresh air.
The park downstairs in the community is a place he often visits... When he was still being taken care of by his brother, whenever he had a quarrel with his brother, he would run down here and stare blankly.
His parents passed away very early, and he was raised by his elder brother... In order to take care of himself, his elder brother's marriage was delayed for a long time.
Li Dongnan finally found a wife after he went to high school, but the good times didn't last long.
The phone rings.
"Hey?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Li Donglai?"
The phone number was unfamiliar... Li Donglai couldn't help but frowned, "It's me, who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Li Donglai." The man on the other end of the phone spoke politely. "I'm a salesperson from Zhang He Law Firm. I'm calling you this time because I'm asked by the Dadao Temple Foundation to tell you about your brother, Mr. Li Dongnan, who damaged a famous painting."
"Tell me, what do you want?" Li Donglai responded irritably.
"The Dadao Temple Consortium intends to settle the case. As long as Mr. Li Dongnan pays 100 million Shenzhou coins as compensation, we will withdraw the lawsuit."
"How much?!" Li Donglai stood up suddenly, "Do you have the guts to say it again?!"
"One hundred million." The salesperson was obviously used to this kind of emotion, and said calmly, "Mr. Li Donglai, the compensation assessment has been evaluated by a professional assessment agency. If you have any questions, we can provide relevant certificates..."
beep--!
Li Donglai simply turned off the phone - and then switched it off.
One hundred million...even if I sell my brother's old house in [Qilin City], it won't be enough.
Although the prices in [Qilin City] are outrageous, they are not yet to the point of despair... Unless the extraordinary people outside are out of control and the social order completely collapses!
But at that point, money means nothing.
He originally wanted to go downstairs to calm down, but he didn't expect to encounter bad things again. Li Donglai returned home more and more irritated, but found that the door of his brother's room was open.
But Li Dongnan was not at home...it seemed that he had gone out!
……
……
"Teacher Ding, have some tea! You've worked hard on the journey!"
Yi Shi was very well-behaved and cute. Teacher Ding took it with a smile and looked at the house at the same time - a large flat of about 300 square meters in a good location in a residential area.
This was obviously acquired before the establishment of Qilin City.
Yi Shi's family is well-off, and this house was bought by her parents... It is just right for entertaining Teacher Ding and Xiao Yuan.
"How is it, have you contacted Li Donglai?"
Although he sighed, Teacher Ding obviously did not forget why he made this business trip to [Qilin City].
"He never answered the call." Yi Shi said helplessly, "He turned off his phone most of the time. The few times I called him, he turned it off immediately... But he did send me a text message saying that after dealing with his personal matters, he would return to the academy to accept punishment."
"Teacher Ding, although Donglai people are more impulsive, they still have a bottom line when doing things." Xiao Yuan said quickly, "I believe he will not do anything reckless."
"I hope so." Teacher Ding sighed, "Sometimes, I'm afraid you just can't help yourself."
"Teacher, do you know something?" Yi Shi keenly noticed something.
Teacher Ding hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "In fact, we have investigated the background information of each of you before you enrolled. Before Li Donglai enrolled, his brother's wife committed suicide because of humiliation..."
"I don't think I've ever heard Donglai mention this matter..." Xiao Yuan was stunned.
"After all, it's not a glorious thing." Teacher Ding sighed and briefly talked about Li Dongnan's wife. "Before Li Donglai awakened, he was privately prosecuted for beating the man who killed his sister-in-law. He was originally going to be imprisoned, but not long after, he was specially recruited because of his awakened talent."
The two students looked at each other.
Teacher Ding said, "Before Li Donglai enrolled, he once requested that the death of his sister-in-law be reinvestigated... Well, we will naturally agree to this request."
"What are the results of the investigation?" Yi Shi asked quickly, "Did you catch that beastly mentor?"
Teacher Ding said with a strange expression: "According to the investigation, Li Dongnan's wife was not humiliated... She did cheat on her husband. Because the correspondence between the two parties left a lot of evidence of their affair... According to the final results of the investigation, she chose to commit suicide because the scandal of cheating was exposed and she could not bear the pressure from the outside world..."
"Ah, this..." Yi Shi said subconsciously: "Could the investigation results be wrong?"
"What are you talking about?" Teacher Ding couldn't help but glared at him. "How dare the investigators be so careless when it comes to matters concerning the family of the awakened? If Li Donglai loses control, who will be held responsible?!"
"I'm sorry, teacher..." Yi Shi immediately stuck out her tongue.
Teacher Ding shook his head: "I heard that Li Dongnan couldn't accept this result and was crazy all day long... As for Li Donglai, although he was helpless, he accepted it at the time and signed a letter of commitment not to use his extraordinary power on ordinary people."
Xiao Yuan said quietly at this time: "Donglai and I have been in the same dormitory for a while. He cares a lot about his brother... It seems that his brother raised him up. What do you think, will Donglai do something for Li Dongnan..."
"I hope he won't do anything to ruin his future." Teacher Ding sighed, "Anyway, let's go to his house tomorrow morning to take a look."
