After he finished packing, Bai Wu changed into a new set of clothes and went to Sanhe Bridge alone.

“Why are you here?” Bai Wu asked precautiously when he saw Xiao Zhang on the bridge.

“I always felt odd whenever passing by this place, but I couldn’t really explain that weird feeling,” Xiao Zhang said puzzledly and shook his head.

Bai Wu stared at the black hole which was swaying gently. There was nothing in it, not even a single ray of light. How could it not be weird?

“What are you doing here then?” Xiao Zhang asked in return.

“Would you believe me if I told you I came here to take a bath? The weather’s too hot, I’m here to cool off,” Bai Wu answered.

The empty hole sensed Bai Wu’s presence and grew excited, it slowly detached itself from the surface of the river and floated toward him.

“I always felt that this place is quite spooky. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll get caught by the water ghost underneath when you’re bathing?” Although Xiao Zhang was not able to see the dimensional crack, he could still felt that something was approaching and he urged Bai Wu to leave instinctively.

“Why would I be afraid that it’ll take me away?” Bai Wu mumbled. In fact, he came over to check on it because he was worried and was surprised to see how much it had grown. When it rained the last time, it was only a small crack, but it became a hole now.

“What did you say? Does that mean that there’s really a water ghost down there?” Xiao Zhang stared at him. He was doubtful, but he did not dismiss the possibility either. After all, he witnessed Bai Wu’s rapid growth within a couple of months. This did not seem too unbelievable by comparison.

“Nothing. You came all the way here just because you felt weird?” Bai Wu looked at him with his cherry-blossom eyes.

“Nah, how could that be? I just came out from Whitehorse Hotel and I’m going back to the police station to get something,” Xiao Zhang laughed and said.

“What about the hotel?”

Xiao Zhang waved at Bai Wu, signaling him to lower his head. Bai Wu raised his eyebrow and scooted over slowly.

“We found a new lead today. The administrator of Whitehorse City took the bait and we’re discussing how to arrest him on-scene,” said Xiao Zhang.

“Oh, no wonder,” Bai Wu said with a pouted mouth and nodded his head understandingly.

“No wonder regarding?”

“Nothing, what are you retrieving? I’ll follow you to the hotel.”

Bai Wu glanced at the void. Individuals like Xiao Zhang who could sense the presence of the void without knowing that it existed were the easiest to be swept away into the void. This matter could not be delayed any further.

“On the records, both of them were brothers, with Zhao as their last name. The younger brother went to work in a different state. At that time, communication through cell phones was not common, the elder brother was worried about not being able to contact him when he returns. That’s the reason he did not agree to the demolition and was unwilling to be relocated. Not long after, that incident happened. The younger brother came home in the second year only to find that the house was no longer there. He tried to ask around and finally found his deranged brother in a mental hospital. He fell sick and died soon after,” said Lan Er.

“How was his body discovered? Was the younger brother alone? No wife or son?” Xiao Feng asked.

“He checked into a welfare home where he eventually passed away. Records mentioned that he was married once, but they separated for reasons unknown. Nothing about a son,” said Lan Er.

“These two brothers don’t have any descendants, nor do they have immediate relatives. Who is seeking revenge for them? Could it be that crazy old lady?” Xie San slapped the table and said.

“The possibility is small. It’s impossible to create an online game without professional technical knowledge. Even if she was only pretending to be crazy, she can’t do all of that alone, not to mention having an offshore account,” said Xu Lan.
