Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The place Xu Wan planned to take Chu Ge and Tang Xiaoran to.

It was that sushi restaurant that exuded an eeriness.

Based on her various encounters and clues along the way, she began to have a guess.

The father's target on this trip was the owner of the sushi restaurant.

However, several years later, the urban landscape of Eternal Star has changed. In order to accommodate more people, many old areas have started demolition and reconstruction, and many places have been completely changed beyond recognition.

Xu Wan searched based on her memory, but couldn't find the right location for a while.

Ten minutes passed.

Xu Wan stood in front of the gate of a construction site.

Staring at the workers walking back and forth in the field, I couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

She checked the map repeatedly.

The alleyway leading to the sushi restaurant, as I recall it, should have been located within this construction site.

"Hey, what are you guys doing standing here!"

The site manager quickly walked over and spoke up to remind them.

"There's construction going on here, it's dangerous, and it's not a place for children to play."

"Go somewhere else if you want to have fun."

A loud voice reached her ears, pulling Xu Wan back to reality.

She looked at the person in charge in front of her and asked a question.

"Sir, did this area used to have a narrow, dark alley?"

"Is there a sushi restaurant at the end of the alley?"

The person in charge had a lot of work to do and didn't want to waste any more words.

However, in order to persuade the group to leave as soon as possible and prevent them from causing trouble by entering the construction area.

I'll keep it simple.

"There was indeed a narrow and dark alley here in the early days."

He turned to the side and pointed to the open space not far away where building materials were piled up.

"The entrance to the alley is roughly in that area."

"That alley was demolished several years ago, and the entire area was included in the demolition area."

The person in charge looked away and turned to the three of them again, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"As for the sushi restaurant you mentioned, it doesn't exist at all."

"This area used to be full of old bungalows, and the alleyway ended in a dead end."

"No normal person would choose to open a shop in such a remote and dead-end corner; you simply can't make any money there."

"I've told you everything I know," the person in charge said, waving his hand.

"It's late at night, and things aren't safe outside."

"It's not safe for you girls to stay here. You should leave as soon as possible."

He remembered that his daughter was about the same age, and his heart softened. His tone was no longer as harsh as before.

He looked at the three of them and said gently:

"Should I call you a car?"

Xu Wan did not react.

She still intends to stay in the surrounding area to search for clues.

That sushi restaurant was eerie in every way; even though the alley had been demolished, you might still be able to find a hidden entrance.

Tang Xiaoran gently persuaded her.

"Wanwan, should we leave here first?"

"If the sushi restaurant owner doesn't want to show up, even if you search the whole area, you won't find any trace of him."

The person in charge didn't understand the hidden meaning in Tang Xiaoran's words, so they went along with the advice.

"The little girl is right."

"It's very dangerous to stay on the construction site at night. I can't afford the responsibility if something happens."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Xiaoran's clothes and found them increasingly familiar, so he asked her a question casually.

"Are you a student at Yenching University of Magic?"

"Yes, Uncle."

"Yenching University is a good school." The person in charge nodded slightly, with a hint of pride in his tone. "My daughter is also studying at Yenching University; she's currently a sophomore."

"She just called me this afternoon and said something big happened at school."

"An outsider broke into the school and committed a crime. The victim was a member of a magical family."

"Based on her description, the crime was committed by a gang."

"After taking action, the group calmly left, taking with them a Yenching University student."

"She also told me that the person who attacked her had asked her for directions at the entrance of the playground toilets earlier."

"She sensed something was wrong right then and there."

"Their attire was highly suspicious."

The person in charge became more and more engrossed in the conversation, almost forgetting to persuade the three to leave.

"My daughter also said that the entire Yenching University is in an uproar right now."

"The Sima family has announced that anyone who captures the perpetrator, whether dead or alive, will receive a reward of one billion."

"The Sima family simultaneously mobilized a large number of magicians to search for and capture them in various places."

"A billion bounty..." he exclaimed. "If I could catch those guys, I could live a carefree life, doing whatever I wanted without having to stay up all night guarding the construction site."

"This idea is just wishful thinking." The person in charge sighed. "My daughter said that the magician who committed the murder was at least a Grand Magus, and he killed without blinking an eye."

"If I really encounter it, I won't even have time to run away."

"If you guys run into them, run as far away as you can, and don't even think about that bounty."

"Oh, by the way, my daughter also secretly took some photos. I'll find them and show them to you."

The person in charge took out his phone and scrolled through his chat history with his daughter, talking nonstop.

"Both foreign terrorists were wearing black baseball caps and black masks."

"One of them had a full head of white hair and blood-red eyes."

"I suspect it's albinism, and also conjunctivitis."

"...He's a pitiful child too."

The next moment, he paused.

"Found it!"

The photo was taken from a distance without permission, and the image quality is acceptable.

If they met face-to-face in real life, it would be easy to recognize them.

The person in charge opened the photo, turned up the screen brightness, and handed the phone to the three people.

"Look at these two people dressed like that, don't they look suspicious?"

"Especially the one on the left with white hair and red eyes..."

The faint light from the phone screen reflected on Chu Ge's face.

Beneath the shadow of the baseball cap, those blood-red eyes were illuminated by the light, appearing eerily dazzling, as if they could devour everything around them.

The person in charge abruptly stopped speaking.

He stared blankly at the three girls standing in front of him, his throat bobbing slightly.

The sound of swallowing saliva could be clearly heard.

Xu Wan did not notice the change in the person in charge's expression.

She stared at the profile picture of the man with his hands in his pockets and a straight posture, and gave a serious evaluation.

"...I look pretty handsome in the photo."

Tang Xiaoran looked embarrassed and earnestly explained to the person in charge.

"Uncle, please believe us, the story is different from the version circulating at Yenching University."

"They are not vicious criminals."

"That's right." Xu Wan raised her head, looked at the person in charge, and spoke seriously.

"Actually, I blink when I kill someone."

"Wanwan!"

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding."

Tang Xiaoran looked at the person in charge with a sincere and apologetic expression.

"I'm really sorry, that's just how she is."

"...It's nothing." The person in charge's lips twitched slightly.

After Xu Wan's witty remarks, his tense emotions eased considerably.

He worked away from home for over twenty years, often staying at construction sites, and came into contact with all sorts of people.

He sensed no cunning or malice from the three girls.

On the contrary, I think she has a straightforward and simple personality.

The panic I felt just now was purely because the event happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to think it through.

"let's go."

Xu Wan spoke to Chu Ge and Tang Xiaoran.

The alleyway had been demolished, and she couldn't find the sushi restaurant, so she had to find another way to find out where her father was.

The three turned and started walking. They hadn't gone far when they heard a series of urgent and heavy shouts behind them.

"Manager! Something terrible has happened!"

The person in charge turned around and saw a worker tumbling and crawling towards him from a hundred meters away.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"Take your time and talk things out. Don't panic."

He has worked in the industry for many years and has seen many kinds of dangerous situations.

I've seen workers screaming in panic many times; it's nothing more than a few common types of accidents.

"Did the slope of the foundation pit collapse?"

"no."

"Have you unearthed an ancient tomb?"

"No, not exactly."

The person in charge looked puzzled. "What exactly happened?"

The worker who rushed to report the news was panting heavily, forcibly suppressing the fear surging in his heart, and spoke intermittently.

"We...we dug up a coffin!"

"It's made with ice!"

There's a woman lying inside.
