The next morning, Lu Jinyu woke up before the alarm clock rang.

There's no way. I can't sleep well when I have something on my mind.

She thought about it and decided to take a leave, otherwise she would not have the heart to go to work.

Worried that Mianmian hadn't had breakfast, she specially made some breakfast to bring with her.

She wanted to drive to school, but her driving skills were not yet mature enough, so she gave up.

.

After arriving at the school gate and waiting for a while, An Bin brought Mianmian over.

"Mom!" Mianmian ran towards her as soon as she saw her.

Lu Jinyu squatted down and hugged Mianmian tightly.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for just one night, Lu Jinyu felt as if a long time had passed.

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Ate."

"I see. Mom made breakfast for you. How about having it as a snack?"

"Wow, thanks mom!"

Mianmian said obediently, then kissed Lu Jinyu on the face.

Lu Jinyu smiled slightly and handed her the bag containing the lunch box.

"Go ahead, get ready for class."

"Bye mom!"

"I'll pick you up after school."

"Ok!"

Mianmian waved and ran into the school.

Lu Jinyu then looked at An Bin, only to see him standing aside somewhat embarrassedly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lu Jinyu sighed and said, "Let's go, go back and tell me what happened."

An Bin asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to work?"

"I've asked for leave." Lu Jinyu said without turning his head.

.

Time goes back to the night before.

An Bin and Mian Mian were trapped in the illusion for a long time until the sorcerer from the Lan family arrived and rescued them.

After breaking the illusion, they were surprised to find that there were other people in the classroom where the illusion trap was set!

Some looked withered, and some... were already dead!

Since human life was involved, they called the police.

After taking their statements, the Lan family sorcerer took them back to the Lan family.

It was on the way that An Bin and Mian Mian talked to Lu Jinyu on the phone.

Because it was already late when they arrived at the Lan family, Lan Shuyi asked Mianmian to go to bed first.

Mianmian looked at An Bin and asked, "Aren't you guys going to sleep?"

"Let's talk for a few minutes and then go to bed." Lan Shuyi coaxed her.

"How about I take her to bed first and come back later?"

An Bin was worried that Mianmian was not used to sleeping here alone, so he made a suggestion.

Lan Shuyi nodded in agreement.

.

Taking Mianmian to the room where she and Lu Jinyu had lived before, An Bin helped her take off her shoes and coat while speaking to her.

"Have a good sleep, and you'll see mom when you go to school tomorrow morning."

"Ok!"

Mianmian obeyed obediently, lying down and covering herself with the quilt.

"Are you scared to sleep alone?" An Bin asked. After all, they had just experienced a terrible illusion.

Mianmian obviously hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head.

"Mianmian is so brave!"

An Bin touched Mianmian's head with a smile, and suddenly remembered something. He then took something out from the inner pocket of his coat and placed it next to Mianmian's pillow.

Seeing this, Mianmian picked it up and looked at it curiously.

"Kitten!" Mianmian said happily.

An Bin laughed when he heard it and corrected her: "It's not a kitten, it's a tiger cub."

In fact, this was carved by An Bin’s father when he was a child, and he later used it as a talisman.

"Little Tiger!"

"Well, let it stay here with you for me, okay?"

"it is good!"

"Then go to sleep, good night."

"Uncle An, good night!"

After watching Mianmian fall asleep, An Bin turned off the lights, left the room, and went to find Lan Shuyi.

.

In the conference room, several people were sitting on chairs, and Lan Shuyi had just finished listening to the reports of several warlocks.

"Illusion...the air of sorrow and resentment..." Lan Shuyi muttered to herself.

At this time, An Bin walked to the door, then looked into the house timidly.

Seeing this, Lan Shuyi said coldly: "Come in quickly."

An Bin then smiled awkwardly and walked to a chair and sat down.

Lan Shuyi looked at him and said, "Just now I learned about the rescue process and the things related to the illusion. Now I want to hear about your experiences before this."

"Okay..." An Bin nodded awkwardly. Just as he was about to start speaking, another person appeared at the door.

Lan Shuyi looked up at the man and asked in surprise: "Jian Ning, why are you here?"

"It's such an important matter, I also want to know about it." Huang Jianning replied.

Lan Shuyi didn't say anything. She raised her hand to motion him to sit down. Then she turned her gaze to An Bin and motioned him to start speaking.

So An Bin started talking while recalling.

He tried not to leave out any details, while adding his own feelings and thoughts for everyone's reference.

It was already late at night, and even in the Lan family, most people had gone to bed. The yard was very quiet, and the only sound in the house was An Bin's voice.

However, the more An Bin talked, the clearer his mind became. He began to realize why Lan Shuyi attached so much importance to this matter.

After he finished speaking, Lan Shuyi nodded slightly, but did not express her opinion immediately. Instead, she asked the sorcerers.

"What do you think?"

Several warlocks looked at each other, and the leader spoke first.

"There aren't many families famous for manipulation, and there are even fewer people who still use manipulation in the psychic world."

Lan Shuyi didn't say anything after hearing this. Of course she knew this.

What the warlock said was simply that the scope of exclusion was very small, unless there was someone they didn't know or recognized.

But in today's society, with the well-developed Internet and well-informed information, it is difficult for anyone to truly hide themselves. What's more, there are organizations like Lingju Tianxia whose members are spread all over the world and are like web crawlers, and they can be detected within a few hours.

After thinking for a while, Lan Shuyi said to the sorcerer, "After daybreak, contact the Wen family, the Cheng family, Ji Kui, and Zhong Caixing, and ask them what they think. Then ask Lingju for a list of suspects."

"Yes." The warlock responded.

"Any other ideas?" Lan Shuyi asked.

Another sorcerer said, "It may not be a one-man show. There are very few people who are good at both manipulation and illusion. It may be a collaboration between two or more people."

Another sorcerer said, "That's right, so those who can perform illusions should also be investigated. And most importantly, the purpose of the person behind this should be found out. They are collecting the aura of sorrow and resentment, and I'm afraid they have ulterior motives."

Lan Shuyi nodded after listening.

"The time of death of the first person to die can be used to infer how long the illusion has been set up, which means how long their plan has been implemented. This incident must have been premeditated, and the person behind it must be found out as soon as possible to prevent more innocent people from dying in vain. But I think there should be more than one trap."

As she spoke, Lan Shuyi looked at An Bin.

"Junior brother, put aside everything else and investigate this matter. Contact the people from Lingju and continue looking for similar locations. Don't take Mianmian with you, it's too dangerous. I'll send two people to follow you."

"it is good."

Now An Bin had no choice but to agree.

Without waiting for Lan Shuyi to assign anything, Huang Jianning took the lead and said, "I'll follow up with the Psychic Investigation Bureau."

Lan Shuyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

After saying that, she stood up.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. It's already late. Let's go back and rest."

So everyone dispersed.

.

An Bin told Lu Jinyu everything, then lowered his head and "awaited his fate."
