“We want to see Bai Wu’s injury.” Sheng Ya looked at Ka Daiwen from head to toe, then returned her gaze to Xu Lan. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart as she uttered those words.

“…cough, room six-o-four, do you want to take a look? I’m not sure if he’s awake at this time though.” Xu Lan unknowingly smiled, but in his heart, he was upset.

‘Motherf*cker! Here alone, there were two young women who liked Bai Wu, and that was not counting Xiao Xiao, who had just left! Sure! Go ahead!’ Xu Lan silently held a grudge against Bai Wu for that!

“We asked around a bit just now. This totally isn’t the place we lived in! Where is this?” Fang Lingzi pouted and asked doubtfully.

“Yeah, we just asked a few people and they all said they’ve never heard of Gongli ¹ Country.” The crew-cut man rubbed his head and was similarly dumbfounded.

“They said that the Central Science Park here is an institution instead of an actual park…” Zhang Fei came closest to having something he knew; at least there was a Central Science Park there!

“…it’s a parallel universe. I’m sure all of you know what that is. Each one of you, for example, came from different worlds but were gathered together in the mission system. This is no different. It’s simply another parallel universe.” Xu Lan placed his hands in his pant pockets and felt a handkerchief. It alleviated his jittery frame of mind.

“So, what do we do now? Is there any way for us to return?” The businessman was as calm as always, leading Xu Lan to consider enlisting him to become a detective.

Hah, he wondered if Lao Chen removed him from duty. After all, his attitude was more impulsive than before.

“There is. You need to go through the void again and again, to many different places. Only then can you find your way back to your own world.” Xu Lan squinted and smiled.

“…we’ll visit Elder first, haha, I wouldn’t want to go through all that again, my heart can’t take it.”

Fang Lingzi said that while placing her hand earnestly on her chest. The others looked at each and for lack of a choice, they followed her to see Bai Wu.

“A woman’s compassion.” Ka Daiwen looked at Xu Lan and scoffed at his way of handling things.

“Hehe, you? Using an aphorism? And I thought you looked down on us humans.” Xu Lan shot back satirically and rushed forth to catch up with the others. Bai Wu risked his life to save them all, so how could he simply send them back to such dire circumstances once again?

“Ah f*ck! Can’t you restrain yourself for a bit? It’s not like you don’t know that the old man has blood clots, high blood cholesterol, and high blood pressure. He’s riddled with illness. If it backfires on you, I sure as hell wouldn’t want to join you in your hardship!”

“Hm? You sure about that?”

Before Xu Lan climbed up the stairs to the sixth floor, he heard a familiar voice resounding through the corridor. His heart leaped in glee as he walked over and chanced upon Wang Meng and Xiao Feng, who were both walking out of the elevator.

“Meng Zi, Officer Xiao!” Xu Lan’s body relaxed tremendously as if the impure energy in his heart was expelled out through his sudden utterance.

Wang Meng – who was holding a bouquet of flowers – was given a shock. He turned his head suddenly and saw Xu Lan standing conspicuously in the middle of the walkway.

“Oh f*ck! Xiao Xu! You son of a b*tch! Is it really you?” Wang Meng gave the flowers to Xiao Feng and ran over to pat Xu Lan on the back.

“Hehe, it’s really me, but if you keep patting my back, I might no longer be!” Xu Lan answered painfully.

“F*ck! Where did you go, you b*stard? Your phone isn’t reachable, your house is empty, you just disappeared out of nowhere and we all thought you were dead!” Wang Meng once again patted Xu Lan firmly on the back, causing him to nearly kneel down.

“Uh, it’s a long story. Let’s find some time to have a long chat. Aren’t you guys going to visit your patient?” Xu Lan could not hold off against Wang Meng’s hardened patting, but the main point was that Xiao Feng simply indulged him in his bullying of others!

Tsk. How unprincipled!

“Oh, f*ck I almost forgot the serious stuff. Where will you be later? We’ll come over to look for you after this.” Wang Meng slapped his own forehead and exclaimed.
