Just as Hongying and Wu Xiangnan were exchanging sharp glances, Lin Qiye suddenly looked at Wen Qimo and asked, "Brother Qimo, I heard from Sister Hongying that something happened in the east of the city, which is why only she came to pick up Lin Shi and me. What exactly happened?"

After all, he's now a real member of the 136th Squad Night Watch, so it's only right that he cares about the situation in Cangnan City.

At the same time, he also successfully attracted the attention of Hongying and Wu Xiangnan, who were about to go to war.

"Here's what happened. This morning, someone reported that a body with all ten fingers severed was found in a tavern in the east of the city. It was nailed to the wall and had a horrifying expression."

Moreover, this is already the fifth one; the previous four all died in the same way. Wen Qimo's words instantly activated Lin Shi's mind.

He remembered that before the war of the gods, there was a mystery to be solved. It seemed that a tavern owner wanted to resurrect a bug whose name was something like that.

And how many people were to be sacrificed in the ceremony? I only remembered that the tavern owner was the instigator, and then he hijacked a plane to crash into an upscale residential area to complete the ceremony.

After all, who analyzes a novel word by word? He certainly wouldn't; unless it's an important plot point, he just skims through it.

However, I only skim through the important plot points, usually three to five lines at a time, and I would never read the novel word for word.

After sending Lin Qiye home, I'll send my clone to find the tavern owner and nip the crisis in the bud, swallowing the worm along with it, and that will be the end of it.

Lin Shi looked up at the window, hoping that the butterfly could change the plot and make the mortal realm disappear naturally, so that he could take Lin Qiye home a few more times.

After dinner, Lin Shi pulled Lin Qiye outside.

"Lin Shi, Qi Ye, where are you going so late?" Chen Muye asked while clearing away the dishes.

"I was having so much fun eating that I forgot I'm allergic to seafood. I'll go to the hospital to get some allergy medication," Lin Shi said casually, waving his hand at Chen Muye.

Chen Muyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Go, go, be careful, and come back soon."

"Understood." Lin Shi walked in front, followed by Lin Qiye, and the two gradually disappeared into the peaceful streets.

"Your excuse is so lame!" Lin Qiye complained to Lin Shi as they walked.

"How about I pretend to be allergic to organic matter next time?"

"You might as well say you're allergic to oxygen! That way, you can have an allergic reaction whenever you want." Lin Qiye glanced at Lin Shi.

"That makes sense." Lin Shi gave Lin Qiye a thumbs up.

"So where do we go now?"

"Didn't you already guess? Why are you still talking so much nonsense?" Lin Qiye lowered his head in silence, and his pace unconsciously slowed down.

Seeing this, Lin Shi pushed Lin Qiye directly towards the old town.

"Stop being so wishy-washy. The captain told us to go back quickly, so let's not waste time here."

No matter what, we must get Lin Qiye home today, since the future is full of uncertainties.

This is Lin Qiye's best chance to go home, and it might even be his last. Therefore, he must seize it.

When they reached a street corner, Lin Shi stopped pushing Lin Qiye and stood there.

Lin Qiye stared blankly at the low building not far away, the one he had longed to return to countless times. Through the dim light, he could see a hunched figure busy with something inside.

It was getting dark at this time.

Lin Qiye understood at this moment what it meant to feel more apprehensive the closer one gets to home.

He actually wanted to say that he would come when he was ready, because he wasn't prepared at all right now, but this is something that you probably can't be ready for in your entire life.

Lin Qiye walked step by step toward the low building that haunted his dreams.

I thought he could endure the long ten years before going home to see his aunt and Ah Jin.

But now it seems he overestimated his willpower; that idea was so naive.

That's where he'll finally find his home!

Inside, there's his aunt who pulled him out of the dark abyss, and Ah Jin who always called out to his brother from behind.

Seeing that Lin Qiye had already entered the low building, Lin Shi smiled. At the same time, more than a dozen shadows darted out from beneath him and headed towards the east of the city.

in the house.

"Ah Jin, help me peel some garlic, just a few will do," Auntie called out to Yang Jin as she washed the vegetables.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jin immediately stopped petting the dog, washed his hands, and started peeling garlic cloves.

Auntie was cooking, but her thoughts were on Lin Qiye. She wondered how that boy was doing in the army.

However, with Lin Shi helping Qi Ye in the army, he probably won't be bullied.

But... I wonder when he'll be able to go home.

"Ah Jin, when do you think your brother will be able to come home? Even if he's in the army, he should be able to come home to visit his family once a year! Like Lin Shi during the Spring Festival, he came home to visit his family, didn't he? Why hasn't your brother come home even once yet?" Auntie said, frowning.

"Mom, don't worry, my brother will definitely come back as soon as he has time." Yang Jin comforted his mother, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. After all, his mother only had one month left to wait for her brother to come back and see her.

The mortal realm of gods is on the verge of collapse.

Just then, a "woof" was heard. The little black toad, who had been lying slumped on the living room floor after being petted by Yang Jin, suddenly started jumping around happily in the living room.

Then it lay down by the window, its tail wagging so hard it looked like it was about to fly away.

"Woof, woof, woof!" Yang Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard the little black toad's barking, then his face lit up with surprise.

He hurriedly put down the garlic cloves and went to the balcony.

Looking at the familiar figure downstairs, a bright smile appeared on her face, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.

"I didn't expect my brother to come back at this time." Seeing that the figure had already gone upstairs, the little black toad jumped down from the windowsill with its short legs and rushed to the door like the wind, barking a few times.

Then he went into the kitchen and gently bit his aunt's trouser leg, trying to pull her out of the kitchen, as if to urge his aunt to come out and see something good.

Yang Jin had already arrived at the door and opened it, meeting Lin Qiye's gaze as they were still in the hallway.

Lin Qiye was stunned. Looking at Yang Jin in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Jin, how did you know I was back?"

“Brother, I saw you come up from the balcony just now,” Yang Jin said.

Lin Qiye awkwardly scratched his head in the hallway, somewhat at a loss.

Seeing Lin Qiye's awkward moment, Yang Jin secretly smiled and then slowly said to Lin Qiye, "Brother, welcome home."

"I'm back," Lin Qiye replied. Hearing the door open, the little black cat in the kitchen stopped tugging at its aunt's trouser leg, let go, and quickly ran outside on its short legs.

"Ah Jin, keep an eye on that little black toad. I was cooking, and it just came in and started biting my trouser leg." Auntie had just finished cooking a dish and was about to put her hand into the sink when a boy's hand reached in.

She removed the hand and said, "Ah Jin, you don't need to wash the vegetables, just peel the garlic."

"Auntie, let me wash it."

Hearing that familiar voice, Auntie suddenly looked up and stared blankly at Lin Qiye. In that instant, all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and she could no longer speak.

Lin Qiye looked at his aunt in front of him, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was a little choked as he said, "Aunt, I'm back."
