【Law of the Abyss】

"Boss, go get it. I'll wait for you here." The young man in black raised his hand and wiped his face.

Mu Bei understood. He took a closer look at the young man in black in front of him. He looked young and had a naive face, but there was a coldness in his eyes, which was extremely inconsistent.

Seeing Mu Bei looking at him, the boy showed a hint of nervousness on his face, but his eyes clearly revealed a cunning look.

"Boss, why are you staring at me?"

"I'm sorry, have we met somewhere?"

The boy smiled shyly and looked up at him: "Boss, you are chatting up the wrong person, I am a boy." The boy then said: "But you look like my...brother."

Mu Bei smiled but didn't say anything. He asked Mo Dazhuang to come and look after the store, and he ran to the storage room upstairs to re-equip a bottle of Dunyin.

The invisibility for sale is diluted Night-hearing Beast Soul Liquid. Although it has been diluted, the effect is still the same, only the duration is different.

As soon as Mu Bei went downstairs, he saw Mo Dazhuang with a red face. When he saw him, he ran away immediately as if he had seen a savior. Mu Bei was confused and uncertain. When the young man saw him, he smiled innocently and said, "You are really a coward, man. I just said a few jokes and he ran away."

"What joke are you talking about?" Mu Bei asked seriously.

The young man raised his eyebrows, weighed the Dunyin in his hand, and said cheerfully: "I say, can I play with you tonight?"

After the young man left, Mo Dazhuang came over. He looked at Mu Bei and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There are no outsiders here."

After hearing this, Mo Dazhuang immediately came forward and whispered, "I suspect that the man just now was not a human."

"Not a human? Then what is it?" Mu Bei asked back.

Mo Dazhuang showed a horrified expression on his face, and then shook his head vigorously: "I don't know, I don't know anything."

At night, when Mu Bei was about to go to bed, Mo Dazhuang stood at the door with a quilt in his arms. His tall figure blocked the entire door.

"Can I sleep on the floor at your place tonight?" Mo Dazhuang looked at him eagerly, afraid that he would refuse, and said, "I don't snore when I sleep. I'm very quiet and I definitely won't disturb you."

Mu Bei sighed. He looked at his cramped room, then at Mo Dazhuang, "This place is too small. There's really no place for you to sleep on the floor."

Mo Dazhuang hugged the quilt, saying nothing, with the disappointment clearly visible on his face.

"If you want to sleep, sleep on my bed. I'll go to your room."

"No, could you please not go to my room? I'm scared."

Mo Dazhuang's voice trembled slightly, and he looked terrified.

"Don't stand, come in and sit down first."

Mu Bei called him in, and they sat on the bed. He looked at him and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Mo Dazhuang lowered his head and said nothing. As a grown man, it was embarrassing enough for him to take the initiative to go to another man's room and sleep on the floor. How could he tell others that he had just had a nightmare?

"It's not shameful to be afraid. Everyone will be afraid sometimes." Mu Bei saw through what he was thinking at a glance.

"Do you also get scared because of nightmares?"

Mu Bei nodded: "Yes." When his parents had just passed away, he would be awakened by nightmares every night, and when he woke up he would always see his uncle sitting next to him watching over him.

Thinking of this, he said to Mo Dazhuang: "Go to sleep, I'll watch you sleep next to me."

Mo Dazhuang wrapped himself in his quilt, lay on Mu Bei's bed and fell asleep quickly. However, Mu Bei did not sleep the whole night as he had been drawing beast soul talismans all night.

Early in the morning, I ran to Chen Laosan's bun shop, ready to buy some buns, but unexpectedly it was closed. There were several people standing at the door of the shop, all of whom came to buy buns early in the morning.

"Chen Laosan, why aren't you opening today?" Someone knocked heavily on the door.

"Do you think something will happen?"

"What could possibly happen? I probably overslept."

"Impossible. Chen Laosan has run the store for so many years. He has never been unable to get up because of oversleeping."

"Hey, maybe you don't know yet, last night Chen Laosan went to Xinghualou to look for his lover, Haitang. He must have been too tired and fell into a daze."

"Nonsense, how could Chen Laosan go to drink and have fun?" The man didn't believe it and went around to the back of the store, where Chen Laosan usually lived. He saw the window was open, so he leaned over and took a look inside. He was so scared that his soul fainted.

"Dead...dead...people..."

Chen Laosan died, he was sucked dry, he was deader than dead.

People from Pofengtang came, took away Chen Laosan's body, and sealed up Chen Laosan's bun shop and house.

Mu Bei returned home with a bad feeling in his heart. Mo Dazhuang saw that he had nothing in his hands and asked in confusion: "Didn't you go to buy buns? Buns?"

"I didn't buy it, and I won't be able to buy it in the future."

Mo Dazhuang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Chen Laosan is dead."

Mo Dazhuang ran out and came back soon, "He's dead. How could he be dead?"

Everyone was talking about the cause of Chen Laosan's death. They linked Chen Laosan's death to the case that had occurred on the street before. After all, the two men died in the same way, and it was hard not to associate them together.

But what kind of person is so powerful that he can suck a person dry?

The explanation given by Pofengtang was that it was an accident.

"What kind of accident? How can it be considered an accident if it happens twice in a row?"

Mu Bei felt uncomfortable when hearing this. He didn't expect that the young man in black who came to the store yesterday came again.

"Boss, do you have anything hidden here? Take out all you have, I want them all." The young man put a heavy bag of gold on the counter.

Mu Bei glanced at him and said, "No more."

"Oh, then this will be considered as a deposit. I'll come and pick it up when it's ready."

Mu Bei refused: "Please go back, there will be no more in the future."

"Why?" the young man in black asked puzzledly.

Mu Bei smiled, didn't explain, and just pushed the gold back.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the young man in black. He took back the gold, stood up and walked out.

Mu Bei breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. He thought the other party would pester him, but he didn't expect him to leave so cleanly and neatly. It was really surprising.

Mo Dazhuang waited for the man to leave for a long time before coming over. He asked in confusion, "Why didn't you sell it to him?"

Mu Bei shook his head. He didn’t know why. It was more of an intuition. He sometimes did things that way.

Not long after the young man in black left, Feng Yelan came. She looked a little unwell and was a little surprised to see Mo Dazhuang.

"You're hiring someone?"

"Well, his name is Mo Dazhuang."

Mu Bei introduced the two to each other, and asked Mo Dazhuang to look after the store. He took Feng Yelan to the reception room and poured her a cup of tea.

"Drink it, what happened?"

Feng Yelan nodded: "My father is back."

Mu Bei was surprised: "Uncle Feng is back, isn't this a good thing?"

"Something's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yelan glanced at him and said, "I can't describe it, but I always feel like something is wrong. I suspect... he is not my father."

Mu Bei paused, not knowing what to say for a moment, "So, you came to see me?"

"I want you to help me check and confirm."

"Uncle Feng is your father."

"Of course I know. It's because he is my father that I am so cautious. I have to make sure whether he is my father or not."

"Uncle Feng and I have only met a few times. You live with him day and night, but you can't be sure. It's even harder for me, an outsider, to be sure." Mu Bei explained.

Feng Yelan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, put the cup down and said, "Mubei, I know you have many secrets. If you don't tell me, I don't want to ask, but I know you have a very sharp eye, so please do me a favor, okay?"

The girl's eyes were soft, filled with helplessness and a hint of fragility. In her eyes, he was her only hope, and this desperate gamble of trust made Mu Bei unable to refuse.
