Chapter 355: Missing Persons Poster

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Li searched the room for any clues, but was immediately stunned by the graffiti on the walls. It seemed that the person wanted to carve a batman symbol at first, but somehow it was canceled. Then he seemed unsatisfied with his next work, and canceled it again.

Thus, about five to six symbols were carved and canceled, almost occupying the entire wall. It appeared that the person was determined to leave his mark, but was not happy with any of his drafts.

In the end, Wang Li found an intact symbol in the corner, it was a standard circle with two words inside, “General Public”.

Wang Li: “???”

Wang Li was confused, who the hell was “General Public”? Also, could you please start carving after you have decided what you wanted? I can understand your batman and superman symbols, but what’s with your Laoganma Chili in Oil and Wang Shouyi Condiment logos? Was it to show off your drawing skills?

Actually Lu Shu did self-learn sketching before, and had planned to make a living by helping others draw portraits, if selling eggs did not work out.

Wang Li’s group mates were equally shocked at the sight, “So is our mission considered complete or not?”

“Why don’t we just say we did it by ourselves?”

“Then what if the Heavenly Kings ask us about the magical weapons in the black market? Taken by the public?” historical

“Isn’t it true that it’s taken by the ‘General Public’? We are telling the truth…”

The seven of them were dumbstruck and wondered who was that damned person who stole their business. They had expected the mission to be challenging and that dangerous situations might arise, but never could they have predicted this.

…

Instead of rushing to Tongguan directly, the “General Public” Lu Shu returned to Luo Cheng first.

At that time, Lu Xiaoyu had long since accumulated enough anger points in Lu Shu’s twenty days of running away from home, and it seemed she was about to throw out some high-powered skills anytime.

Indeed, Lu Xiaoyu used “running away from home” to describe Lu Shu’s progress report in the Capital…

In any case, Gongyi was only half an hour away from Luo Cheng. Thus, Lu Shu deemed it as totally justifiable to prioritize his trip home. Earlier in Gongyi, he did not notice any signs of him being tracked, and in fact, Nie Ting had already left the Capital on the seventeenth day of their training.

Nie Ting had multiple roles to play. In addition to being the person in charge of the Heavenly Network and the Capital Daoyuan Class, he would also be the bodyguard to significant figures when they were overseas for visits.

Lu Shu could sense that Lu Xiaoyu might explode any time now. Hence, without calming her down, he would not be able to focus on his tasks at hand. Moreover, without a stipulated deadline, Chen Zuan and the rest would certainly wait for him at Tongguan, but Xiaoyu’s anger eruption might be well within these two days…

He messaged Xiaoyu but did not receive a reply, it was only followed by a spate of increases in distress points in the background.

Judging from the rapid growth in the distress points alone, Lu Shu could already foresee himself having a hard time today…

At that moment, one had to act poor. Hence, Lu Shu bombarded Lu Xiaoyu with complaints about the toughness of the training and the danger of the fight just now. As for whether it was indeed that tough or dangerous, he himself was the only one that needed to know.

“Just now…”

Finally, Lu Xiaoyu replied, “Have you eaten?”

Lu Shu’s face lit up, “Not yet. I’m reaching soon. What do we have at home?”

“A cute little girl who was abandoned at home.”

Lu Shu, “???”

Was that the way to reply? Fine, I admit you are cute, okay…

Then, Lu Shu managed to buy some food before he went back, as going home without bringing anything did not seem like a nice thing to do.

But once he reached the gate of Xingshu Road yard, he suddenly saw a sheet of A4 print pasted on the pole. A closer inspection revealed, “Missing Person, Lu Shu, 17 years old, with weird-looking blue hair. His personal trait is being very mean. Currently, he has abandoned his cute little sister at home and run away. If anyone sees him, please tell him that he no longer needs to come home if he’s still not home tomorrow!”

Lu Shu froze at once. How come there was a missing persons poster? After twenty plus days of progress report at the Capital, why had he become a missing person? Obviously it was for himself to see…

Moreover, others would offer rewards for those with clues, but why did it become a farewell message for him!?

Lu Shu shot another look at the date, fine, it was yesterday… Below it there were traces of torn paper, it seemed she would replace it everyday. Each day, she would say he was no longer needed if he was not home the next day, but she still extended the deadline over and over again.

Luckily, Lu Shu’s hair had already turned black completely. He quickly removed the poster and hurried home.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Xiaoyu sat by the table, with a cold expression on her face. A bowl of egg soup noodles with tomatoes was steaming on the table. Lu Xiaoyu’s voice was frosty, “Eat.”

Lu Shu smiled. In spite of her anger, she still cooked noodles for him. No wonder she used to pester Auntie Liu with requests to teach her cooking. It was for a day like this, when he was back home, she could prepare a bowl of noodles with soup instead of cup noodles.

Little Fury had hidden in some secret corner because it was not a suitable occasion for him to be present. It was not that it might disturb their sibling reunion, but more of the fear that it might accidentally get hurt. Its little brother had already notified it when Lu Shu reached the yard gate.

Lu Shu placed the plastic bag in his hands onto the table, “A new phone for you. Didn’t you always complain about the screen of your old phone…” In the past, both of their phones were cheap and of low quality. They were good enough for daily use, but were not up to standard for games and movies.

Lu Xiaoyu mused for two minutes and asked calmly, “Where’s my TV box?”

Lu Shu occupied himself with eating noodles, “Maybe Little Fury stole it?”

“Nice try.”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +999!”

However, she did not continue the topic. Instead, she spoke in a calm manner, “If you were still not home by tomorrow, I was really going to go to the Capital to find you. Don’t ever leave me alone at home for so long again. I’m scared of the darkness when I’m home alone.”

Her words shot a pang in Lu Shu’s heart. After all, Lu Xiaoyu was only a ten-year-old girl… Wait a minute, she did not seem scared at all when watching “The Grudge” last time?

When they watched horror movies together, Lu Shu had always been squeezing his eyes, as though he would miss those horrifying scenes like that.

But Lu Xiaoyu was different. It seemed that she had born without the fear of darkness or ghosts…

Tricks! Those were all tricks!

At that moment, something suddenly struck Lu Shu’s mind, “Did you manage to materialize the Class B spirit?”

It would be troublesome for him to run around reaping military credits. But if it was Anthony, who could travel through the earth and fight in wherever place he wanted, was it not a powerful tool?!
