"Tsk."
Ke Qing clicked her tongue in annoyance.
That's exactly why you, the self-proclaimed captain, can't you at least put your mind at ease?!
"Actually, it's not like we gained nothing at all."
Amber leaned against Luo Mu's arm with a grin, "Besides the schedule and social interactions of that young master Xing Tiannan, we also investigated the deputy general manager Zeng we caught at the Feiyun Group headquarters that day. We found that he had been in frequent contact with a mistress, which is very suspicious."
"mistress?"
Luo Mu was a little puzzled, "Can't Li Yue marry several wives? How come he also has mistresses?"
"Because if you're married, that means you have certain rights within the family. Are you sure you want to ask me about the things you men do outside the home?"
Amber raised an eyebrow at him.
He was perfectly justified.
"My goal in getting on base is to get married. Look, I've already made arrangements for my fourth and fifth wives when I go back this time."
To be honest, Amber was actually a little speechless for a moment.
Moreover, she also knew that Luo Mu had actually arranged for the head of the ensemble to be the fifth wife.
Regarding Luo Mu's remarkable achievements, she, as his first wife, had no complaints whatsoever, only feeling amazed.
But that's not something we need to talk about now!
"Just know that this is a thing."
Amber patted his arm. "Some rich people want to play with women but don't want to share the family fortune, so mistresses come into being. But according to our investigation, that Deputy Chief Steward Zeng seems to be in contact with his mistress too frequently, and the time they spend together doesn't seem like a casual fling, so it seems very suspicious."
"And then what?"
Luo Mu also cooperated by showing a curious expression.
"Then……"
Amber shrugged. "When we found that mistress, she had already fallen down the stairs and died."
"Uh……"
Luo Mu's expression shifted slightly, then he couldn't help but complain, "Such a hasty way of dying... Isn't this act of silencing a bit too obvious?"
"Yes, but once a person is dead, they're dead, so this clue is naturally worthless."
Amber shrugged.
Compared to Amber, who seemed quite relaxed, Keqing appeared rather resentful, gritting her teeth.
“Those guys, they were so close, their bodies weren’t even cold when we got there.”
But when someone dies, they're dead...
Luo Mu wanted to shrug like Amber did regarding this matter.
Even if he were incredibly capable, he couldn't bring the dead back to life.
【Beep beep~】
[You have triggered an ad task: 'Who says dead people can't talk?']
hold head high?
What the heck is an advertisement?
Luo Mu tilted his head.
[This is an advertisement from Wangshengtang: "For any business related to the dead, please feel free to visit Master Hu at Wangshengtang anytime. Buy now while supplies last, and enjoy greater discounts for larger purchases!"]
Mr. Luo Mu's expression immediately became somewhat... subtle.
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 523 Arrival at the Hall of Rebirth
Master Hu of the Rebirth Hall... that must be Hu Tao, right?
Luo Mu's eyes darted around.
how to say……
I'd like to go check it out.
Of course, I'm not saying I'm interested in walnuts, I'm just saying, uh, well, even though I already knew that Teyvats have souls, it still makes me very curious, right?
However, since he had just agreed to accompany Lady Ningguang to the meeting, even if he was very curious, he should wait until after the meeting to go and see.
Before that, it's best to get a basic understanding of the situation.
"Speaking of which—"
He raised his hand to attract everyone's attention, "Is it possible that we can go and take a look at the Hall of Rebirth?"
"The Hall of Rebirth?"
Ke Qing was somewhat surprised.
She glanced at Luo Mu a couple more times before continuing:
"Although I don't know how you know that the Hall of Rebirth might be able to help us, the Hall of Rebirth has a very special status in Liyue, and we usually don't have any dealings with it."
"Moreover, the main responsibility of the Hall of Rebirth is to balance the energy of life and death. Even though we often deal with souls, the Hall of Rebirth itself is not a place to manage souls. Given the time, place and manner of our target's death, the Hall of Rebirth is probably unlikely to come into contact with them."
"Uh……"
Luo Mu was a little confused.
Was the Hall of Rebirth really that special in Liyue? It's so prestigious?
And System Girl, is your information reliable or not?
【? 】
[Mr. Luo Mu, would you like to repeat your question?]
No, I was just kidding.
He immediately backed down.
Even though the system girl is still the gentle older sister version, the way she smiles while emitting black aura gives off a very scary feeling.
He had only witnessed this before with Sister Lisa, back when he was still a little brother who was electrocuted and spitting out black smoke. He had no idea how the system girl could generate such a powerful deterrent.
Many people in the movie theater were having a good time.
Yes, Sister Lisa cultivated her imposing presence by educating Brother Luo Mu, but who educated Miss Zhen?
The woman, who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko, touched her face in frustration.
"Where am I so scary?"
"I don't know. Maybe you shouldn't be asking us this question?"
"Shouldn't we find someone outside to answer this question?"
Shinichi glared at these grinning troublemakers, angrily raised his hand, and tapped the light screen, saying:
"No need! I'll ask myself!"
……
Ignoring the excitement in the movie theater, after feigning innocence to evade the system's intimidation, Luo Mu continued to ask Lady Keqing questions with childlike curiosity:
"So what's so special about the Hall of Rebirth? Our case is so important, and we have no other leads, can't we give it a try? What if it works?"
Keqing looked helpless and was about to explain when Ningguang smiled and knocked on the car door.
"I can explain this to you, but can we continue talking on the way?"
"Ah, that works too!"
He quickly approached Lady Ningguang, not forgetting to wave and give instructions to the others with a smile.
"I'll go with Lady Ningguang first. If I can go, I'll visit the Hall of Rebirth. You all can continue with your work!"
Watching Luo Mu, beaming, climb into the car and sit down next to Ningguang without any hesitation, and then close the door as the two fox ladies got in, the hovercar slowly lifted into the air. Amber, who was standing still, also turned to look at Keqing beside her:
"Are there any pretty girls at the Hall of Rebirth?"
"Hey?"
Ke Qing paused for a moment, her expression suddenly becoming a bit strange. "I guess... you could say that."
***
4:22 PM.
He arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth in a very prestigious car, riding in Lord Ningguang's private vehicle.
There's not much to say about the meeting; he practically fell asleep standing up, and nothing much happened.
Basically, just as expected, the Abyss Order did not carry out a double attack.
In other words, kidnapping and sending away a Liyue Seven Star from Liyue Harbor is no simple task. Once interrupted, even if the Abyss Order wanted to arrange a second time in a short period of time, they would probably be powerless.
Then came the information he received from Lord Ningguang regarding the Hall of Rebirth.
This is quite surprising compared to the previous claim of a special status. The entire Wangsheng Hall is said to have been passed down through a single lineage since ancient times. Even now, the main members are only a handful of family members, with at most a few hired helpers.
He got out of the car and looked at the ancestral hall, which, apart from the rich weathering and ancient atmosphere brought by the passage of time, actually only occupied the size of a courtyard house. He had no choice but to believe what had been said.
The scale of the Rebirth Hall... does indeed seem to be quite small.
But what's special about the Rebirth Hall, compared to its size, is its function—
Burning away the death energy maintains the balance between life and death.
Of course, it may sound a bit exaggerated, almost like something only gods could manage, but in reality, the Rebirth Hall does do things that only humans can do.
During the War of Demons and Gods, curses, plagues and other calamities raged across the world. Those who took the initiative to purify the air and burn corpses to stop the spread of the plague were the founders of the Hall of Rebirth—this is the origin of the Hall of Rebirth.
Nowadays, the work of the funeral parlor generally involves... organizing funerals and comforting some resentful deceased.
Sometimes, when there is too much accumulated death energy and resentment, we will burn it. Only when a real big problem occurs will the Rebirth Hall issue a warning to the Jade Capital Platform, and then, as professionals, take the lead in guiding and directing everyone to face the disaster.
"But for such an important responsibility, even if there's not much to do normally, wouldn't it be more prudent to assign more people to set up a dedicated department or something similar?"
Luo Mu watched as Lady Ningguang lifted the rather old-looking door knocker on the gate and knocked on it, while asking her a question.
"Living on the edge of life and death, dealing with death and the soul, is not something that ordinary people can adapt to. Others have raised the same question as you, but at that time, the gods themselves intervened."
"Gods?"
Luo Mu was taken aback.
"Yes, the most ancient sage personally intervened and spoke the golden words: the current lineage of the Hall of Rebirth is the most trustworthy lineage, and the boundary between life and death does not need the involvement of too many idle people with ulterior motives."
As Lady Ningguang said this, she lowered the door knocker and waited quietly.
Luo Mu's expression was strange.
Suddenly, in some strange place, my senior made his presence known again.
However, if that's the case, then Ke Qing's statement that the Hall of Rebirth has a special status is indeed correct.
and so--
"I observed the stars last night and knew that a big business deal was coming my way today!"
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 524 Little Peach, bring tea
oh oh!
A lively and cheerful girl's voice broke through the ancient and heavy solid wood door first. As the door was opened with a speed and force completely disproportionate to its own weight, Luo Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
We've met him in person, brothers! It's Master Hu Tao!
Almost exactly as he remembered, standing in the center of the open doorway was a lovely girl wearing that, uh, I think it was called... Qiankun Tai Gua hat and dressed in dark ceremonial clothes.
Perhaps because she opened the door too hastily and forcefully, the girl's long, brownish-red twin ponytails that reached her hips and the two long hems of her dress embroidered with exquisite gold and red patterns fluttered backward with the wind as she opened the door. The girl's slightly petite body leaned forward between her arms pulling the door, and her fair and delicate face was adorned with an exceptionally bright smile, with two rows of perfectly white teeth that were so white they shone brightly being particularly eye-catching.
Because the double-leaf antique wooden door clearly opens inwards, he was quite close to the door when he stood in front of it.
As a result, it was as if Hu Tao, who had rushed over so fast that she couldn't even brake in time, opened the door and leaned forward in the middle of the door, her bright and beautiful face almost pressed against his.
