Today's test was another major failure.

[Test failed!]

"..." After trying all ten fingers, You Yonghuai looked down at the box that was still unopened.

"Never mind, I'll take it with me for now..." You Yonghuai stacked the black box on top of the urn, intending to deal with it slowly when he got back.

If all else fails, just demolish it by force.

"Did your father leave you anything? Wasn't the inheritance already divided up?" You Yonghuai's mother's eyes showed more worry. "Are you short of money?"

"No, Mom, do you recognize this?" You Yonghuai asked, taking out the small purple beads.

"Where did you pick up those marbles? How old are you? Why are you still bringing trash home?"

"..." You Yonghuai blinked, unsure of what to say for a moment.

It seemed that his mother indeed did not recognize this thing.

Or perhaps the parents are conspiring to set them up.

"Have you seen my dad fiddling with this box?" You Yonghuai asked, taking out the small black box.

"I vaguely remember... Your dad took it out when you were eight years old, where did you find it?"

"That's not important. Do you know how to open this box?"

"A fingerprint lock, right? I remember that!" Mother You slapped her thigh, a sly smile appearing on her face. "Back then, your father used your little toe as a fingerprint lock."

"?" You Yonghuai was taken aback when he heard this. He looked down at his feet and then at the small black box in his hand, not knowing what to say.

"By the way, Mom, have you been in contact with Aunt Huang lately?" After thinking for a moment, You Yonghuai had no choice but to change the subject.

He didn't plan to open the box in front of his mother because he felt there might be some danger.

"We had dinner a few weeks ago, nothing's been happening lately, what's up?"

"Could you help me get in touch with her? I haven't seen Aunt Huang in a long time, and I need to talk to her about something."

"You're still thinking about Xiao Si?" While calling Huang Li, You's mother said, "It's been two years since we last contacted each other. Do you think we can still hang out together?"

You Yonghuai glanced sideways at the illusory Si Xuanyin beside him, and smiled without saying a word.

The call went unanswered for a long time.

"That's strange, why isn't your Aunt Huang answering the phone?"

"If we can't get through, that's fine," You Yonghuai said, standing up. "I've already made contact about Dad's grave, and we'll go get a new one in a couple of days."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to Jiangcheng now. Someone's looking for me there."

"Alright, I'll talk to you again when I miss you." Mother You didn't try to stop her; she didn't want to cook tonight.

I need to rush to play mahjong later, and it wouldn't be good if I wasted too much time cooking and there wasn't a table available.

He said he was going back to Jiangcheng, but You Yonghuai did not buy a high-speed train ticket. After leaving his home, he walked straight in one direction.

He wanted to see how Huang Li's home was doing now.

Although they moved to Jiangcheng after Si Xuanyin graduated from junior high school, judging from the frequency with which Huang Li visited her in the past few years, the latter also put into practice what it means to "go home and visit often".

In any case, there should be a puppet in You Yonghuai's hometown as well.

After easily finding Huang Li's house, You Yonghuai squatted down at the door and glanced at the options on the side.

[Sabotage (80% success rate)]

[Lock picking (10% success rate)]

[Observation (70% success rate)]

[Observational test failed!]

After staring at the door for a while, You Yonghuai didn't find anything and almost got mistaken for a suspicious person by his neighbors.

Si Xuanyin glanced at You Yonghuai, but didn't speak. She simply flew out of You Yonghuai's body silently.

"There are surveillance cameras here, so be careful." Sensing the slight loss of life force within him, You Yonghuai realized that Si Xuanyin was about to come out and immediately lowered his voice to remind her.

"Click".

The door opened, and Si Xuanyin forced out a pair of dead fish eyes, saying, "It's just a door; I can open it."

"So it's possible to do something like this?" You Yonghuai exclaimed, then went inside.

"There's no one inside." Si Xuanyin glanced around the house where she had lived most of her life and said, "Huang Li probably doesn't live here permanently."

"Let's take a quick look then." You Yonghuai was familiar with the layout of this house, having been here many times before.

I just never went into Huang Li's room.

Si Xuanyin is the same in this respect.

As far back as she can remember, her biological mother had strictly forbidden her from entering her room.

"So much time has passed, the things inside should have been mostly dealt with by now." You Yonghuai pushed open Huang Li's door, without much expectation.

The room was dark because the thick curtains were drawn, completely blocking out the sunlight.

A faint stench lingered in the room. As You Yonghuai frowned, he also vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity.

The moment Si Xuanyin smelled the stench, she transformed back into her spirit form, attaching herself to You Yonghuai and saying with disgust, "Why does it smell like a biological mother's feet..."

Realizing the source of the familiarity, You Yonghuai turned on the light and looked around the doorway. The success rate of his observation through the light screen beside him also increased.

[Observation and verification successful!]

A sense of spirituality stirred within him. In the room filled with various containers, You Yonghuai suddenly felt a firm conviction. He strode forward and went straight to the wardrobe.

Pushing open the cabinet door on the left, You Yonghuai stared blankly at the scene before him.

"Holy crap, this is insane..." Si Xuanyin stared at the scene before her, her lips twitching wildly.

From baby clothes to worn-out coats, from children's shoes to running shoes, a complete set of clothing representing a teenager's growth is displayed there.

You Yonghuai may not recognize the clothes he wore when he was a child, but how could he not recognize the coats from a few years ago?

"I'm starting to think I'm going to steal your mother's head from you," You Yonghuai said, observing the wardrobe.

"As long as she's dead, it doesn't matter who gets the kill, it doesn't add to the economy." Si Xuanyin gritted her teeth, staring indignantly at the sets of clothes.

Damn, I'm so envious... (crossed out)

"Wait, what's this?" You Yonghuai looked down at the bottom of the wardrobe and noticed a brown wooden box under his children's shoes.

Crouching down, You Yonghuai endured the stench of his feet, which wasn't his own, emanating from his lost shoes, and pulled out the box.

He was considering whether to wait until he got home to cut off his opponent and then grow a new pair.

"What if there was a different pair of shoes inside? Wouldn't you explode?"

"You're such a jinx," You Yonghuai glared at Si Xuanyin, then opened the unlocked box.

Inside was a map with yellowed edges that looked very old.

"Is this a map from ten years ago?" You Yonghuai unfolded it and glanced at the date on it.

This is a map of Jiangcheng, with three circles drawn in red on it.

"This seems to be the location of a doomed node?" Si Xuanyin, who was more familiar with the terrain of Jiangcheng, came closer and said.
