Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 40 The First Person in History

The air was filled with the aroma of baking.

Through the oven glass, you can see the glistening oil on the surface of the bread, making your mouth water.

Bai Yuekui was wearing a black tank top that just went past her hips. She sat on the soft down bed, her fair legs crossed, her toes slightly upturned, and her pearl-like toes twitching restlessly.

"I always feel like something's missing."

Bai Yuekui looked at the street scene outside the window and felt inexplicably panicked.

Something she had taken for granted seemed to have disappeared, but what was it?

Bai Yuekui rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

She felt like she was separated from the answer by a thin veil, but she just couldn't see what was behind the veil.

A few minutes later, she decided to seek help from outside the venue.

"ASH, something's off to me!" Bai Yuekui asked, puzzled. "Do you know why?"

ASH replied, "Is it because Mayor Bai Jingyu activated the state of emergency?"

“Not this one.” Bai Yuekui shook his head.

After the state of emergency was declared, all work and school were suspended, which was indeed a significant change.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, shopping malls were closed, and the giant virtual advertisements that used to pose provocatively against skyscrapers had also stopped.

However, this change is tangible and visible.

Bai Yuekui frowned: "I feel like something is missing, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Is that Yue Tian calling?" Ash asked gently.

Bai Yuekui paused for a moment.

Yes!

“My brain-dead idiot brother hasn’t contacted me for days. What’s he up to?” Bai Yuekui raised his eyebrows.

That silly guy is so annoying!

But after not hearing his voice for several days, I felt very uneasy.
Bai Yuekui said in a low voice, "Give him a call."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear Bai Yuetian's magnetic voice.

Yue Kui, why did you call your brother?
Missing your brother?

In a daze, Bai Yuetian's face appeared before her eyes, along with a smile that Bai Yuetian had named "Charm MAX".

Alas--

Bai Yuekui got goosebumps all over.

"Wait!" she shouted.

Bai Yuekui clutched the hem of her skirt, her face full of conflict.

She knows her silly older brother too well.

If you make that call, she'll likely hear the two sentences she just imagined.

Disgusting, nauseating.

Later on, I won't even be able to eat freshly baked bread.

Can we not fight?
Her dim-witted older brother is the police captain, who seems to have lost his mind and insists on becoming the next bureau chief. In order to accumulate political achievements, he does all sorts of dangerous things.

The lack of news for so many days has really made her a little worried.

"Fine, let's fight anyway," Bai Yuekui said, forcing himself to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, ASH dialed Bai Yuetian's number, and Bai Yuetian's virtual avatar popped up in mid-air.

Looking at Bai Yuetian's silly smile, Bai Yuekui thought to herself that as soon as the call connected, she would speak first. As long as she could shut up her silly older brother, she wouldn't be disgusted.

A few seconds later, two lines of small text appeared.

【Feel sorry】

The user you are trying to reach is not in the service area.

Bai Yuekui was slightly taken aback.

"ASH, what does that mean?" she asked, puzzled.

ASH replied gently, "Yue Tian has left the signal area, and I cannot contact him."

Bai Yuekui looked confused.

Leaving the signal area—what an obscure term!

"Are there areas in Hisakawa City where your signal isn't available?"

"Or did he leave Jiuchuan without a word, without even sending me a message before he left?"

Where did his signal last appear?

Bai Yuekui asked three questions in a row.

She leaned forward, her face revealing undisguised worry.

ASH replied, "The last signal from Yue Tian appeared at Mayor Bai Jingyu's house."

Bai Yuekui was taken aback upon hearing this.

The last signal was in that person's house?

Didn't my silly brother say he stopped contacting that person a long time ago? How come his signal disappeared there?
“ASH!” Bai Yuekui frowned deeply.

"You couldn't possibly not know what happened in that person's house!"

"What exactly happened?" "Why did my brother go to him? What did he do to my brother?!" Bai Yuekui's emotions involuntarily surged.

ASH said softly, "I'm sorry, Moon Queen."

"I suggest you call Mayor Bai Jingyu; he can definitely answer your questions."

Bai Yuekui's fist hardened.

In this world, the voice she least wanted to hear was Bai Jingyu's voice, and the person she least wanted to see was Bai Jingyu himself!
That hypocrite!
Ruthless!
Hypocritical!
He stood by and watched his wife be murdered!
You big bastard!
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
An invisible hand gripped Bai Yuekui's heart, its strength increasing until Bai Yuekui felt a dull ache in his heart.

"Hit." Bai Yuekui uttered a single word.

She had a complicated look on her face.

From the moment she left that home, she never considered contacting that person again.

She still lives in Hisakawa because Hisakawa holds many fond memories of her childhood. Walking on the familiar streets, it feels as if her mother is still by her side.

But she had to contact that person today.

"Damn Bai Yuetian, I'll hold you accountable for this. When I find you, I'll make you pay!" Bai Yuekui gritted his teeth.

I clearly said I wouldn't contact that person, and now look what's happened!

At this moment, ASH spoke up: "Mayor Bai Jingyu is in a meeting."

"What's wrong with a meeting?" Bai Yuekui retorted. "Is his meeting more important than my brother's disappearance?"

"Hit me!"

ASH paused for two seconds, and finally dialed Bai Jingyu's number as Bai Yuekui had requested.

The digital signal rippled across the vast ocean of the network, eventually reaching Bai Jingyu's home.

The firewall identified Bai Yuekui's communication code.

The meticulous defense system left a gap, allowing Bai Yuekui's communication signals to enter.

swoosh-

Bai Jingyu answered the phone almost the instant it rang.

In the video, Bai Jingyu is wearing the suit he is used to seeing in the news, standing straight with a deep darkness behind him.

Bai Jingyu looked at Bai Yuekui in front of him.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

For so many years, Yue Kui had never called him once; this was the first time since he ran away from home.

Bai Jingyu's throat bobbed as he struggled to utter those two words.

"Moon Queen".

On the other side, Bai Yuekui looked at Bai Jingyu on the screen, clenched his fists, and his eyes revealed undisguised disgust.

Bai Jingyu's current appearance is exactly the image she hates most, the image that always appears in her nightmares.

Dressed in a suit and tie, yet heartless and treacherous!
"Don't call me Yue Kui. Where's my brother?" she asked bluntly, her tone unusually harsh.

Bai Jingyu's expression froze slightly.

He took a deep breath: "ASH has been attacked. To guard against potential threats, I have assigned him to a secret mission. He cannot contact the outside world at this time."

"How can you prove he's still alive?" Bai Yuekui retorted.

In a state of emergency, Bai Jingyu's arrangement for a police captain from the Joint Police Bureau to carry out the mission was legal and compliant.

But she was still worried about Bai Yuetian's safety.

After a two-second silence, Bai Jingyu replied, "As the mayor of Jiuchuan City and a father who deeply loves his child, I have no reason to harm him."

"Don't say such disgusting things, Bai Jingyu, you have no heart at all!" Bai Yuekui said impatiently.

Give me a deadline!

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jingyu replied, "No more than half a month at most, I guarantee it."

"If my brother doesn't come back by then, I'll make you regret it," Bai Yuekui threatened.

"I will let everyone know that you killed your own wife first, and now you've killed your own son!"

Bai Jingyu said slowly, "Please rest assured, I will return him to you intact."

Bai Yuekui stared at Bai Jingyu for two seconds.

"You're still the same as before, even when discussing your own son you speak in official jargon, without any emotion. Is power all you have on your mind?"

Bai Yuekui looked at Bai Jingyu, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Bai Jingyu lowered his head and remained silent.

beep—

Bai Yuekui hung up the call, the chat interface disappeared, leaving Bai Jingyu standing alone.

The next second, light dispelled the darkness.

Four screens slowly lit up, each displaying a dignified and imposing figure.

“Bai Jingyu.” Helu’s eyes were disdainful.

"You're the first person in history to have people of our status wait for you to call your daughter."
