Lao He's body was found in a pile of large pieces of cement.
Before this, these were the collapsed parts of the eight buildings, and they lay quietly aside while Ranran and his friends were persistent in pursuing the secrets beneath the foundations.
No one knew that Lao He's body was hidden inside.
Even now many people are unwilling to believe it. The workers are talking loudly about the pile of things, arguing with each other about which piece might not contain Lao He.
The puppies were whimpering around the pile of ruins, and the whimpers that came out of their mouths were the saddest tune in the world.
The people from the Public Security Bureau acted quickly and dispatched relevant personnel shortly after receiving the news. They first used a police dog to smell out the specific piece of cement where Lao He was, and then used tools to knock open the cement block bit by bit.
Before long, the large piece of cement was only as tall as a person.
The more the onlookers looked at it, the more they thought it was real. "I think the shape of this cement looks like a person!"
"Sun Zhiqiang is such a wicked man! He hid Old He in the cement. Fortunately, Building 8 has been repaired. If it had been repaired, who knows how long he would have been hidden!"
“Maybe once the tenants move in and start renovating the house, they’ll discover there’s someone hiding in the wall!”
"It won't take that long." Ran Ran said calmly, "Concrete walls often crack due to the hydrogen sulfide and ammonia produced when corpses decompose protein. I guess the workers will be able to find out that something is wrong with the wall during the construction of the building, or at least before the acceptance."
"The cracks in the wall are only one aspect, the smell is another. The gaps between the cement are large, and the smell of the rotting corpse will overflow, increasing the risk of being discovered."
Ran Ran's words were plain and simple, but the faces of the people who listened to him changed.
"Oh my god, this little girl is so lively! Why does it feel like she has become a different person after not seeing her for just one day?! Wasn't she the same yesterday?"
"Although what the little girl said is also knowledge, and I was stunned, I still think it's a bit scary for such a young child to master this kind of knowledge!"
The people around him echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! It's scary!"
Not only were the workers frightened, Shen Dinghai was also frightened by Ranran's sudden remarks.
He asked weakly, "Cousin, where did you know all this?"
Ran Ran was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "I... don't know."
She turned her head to meet Shen Dinghai's eyes and said uncertainly: "I feel like I already knew this..."
Shen Dinghai was extremely excited after hearing this, and now he was even more certain of his guess!
"Cousin, do you think it's possible... that this is your memory from the past?"
"Previous memories?"
"Think about it, before you were reversed back to a child by magic, you were already that old, and you must have seen a lot of things. Plus, you are studious, so isn't it reasonable that you know all this?"
"Now that you mention it..." Ran Ran thought carefully, "I actually haven't thought about the past at all."
"Although the idea of reincarnation reversal was proposed by Li Zunle and is not necessarily accurate, assuming this on this basis can indeed reasonably explain why I know these things inexplicably."
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide, "If you agree with me on this point, then there is another explanation for the picture that flashed through your mind before!"
"It's not Ning Wu who forced you to see his memory! It's your own memory!"
"It's just a memory from the past!"
Ran Ran stood there, speechless for a moment.
“…It is indeed possible…”
"The white fog and the people in the white fog are what I have seen before, so they are imprinted in my mind... The spell that Ning Wu cast on me..."
Ranran recalled the tearing pain, and a guess gradually emerged.
"Could it be a technique that suppresses my complete recollection?"
"If the reversal of reincarnation is real, and I have really received the reversal of reincarnation technique, then I should be able to return to my previous self after I remove the seal."
"Completely my old self."
Ran Ran looked at his hands, "Instead of me who only has power but no memory." Shen Dinghai was so excited that he wanted to applaud. If he hadn't been concerned about there being too many people, he would have shouted out long ago!
"It is indeed possible!"
"Cousin, you have already unlocked the second seal. Originally, your memory should have returned along with your power, but that Ning Wu cast a spell on you and sealed your memory!"
The more Shen Dinghai talked, the more he felt that he had found the direction of his life. "So now we have a goal!"
"We have to find a way to unlock your memory, cousin!"
In order to verify the answer, Ran Ran tried to use her spiritual power to break through the restrictions left by Ning Wu in her body, but as soon as she tried, she groaned.
In just a moment, her face turned pale as paper, and even some blood flowed from the corner of her lips.
Shen Dinghai was horrified and almost screamed out loud at the first moment, but at least he saw a lot of the world with Ranran and grew a lot.
In the end, she suppressed her scream and quickly used her body to cover Ranran to prevent people around her from noticing anything unusual.
He lowered his voice, "Cousin, are you okay?!"
Facing Shen Dinghai's worried and frightened eyes, Ranran shook her head.
"Ning Wu's strength...is far above mine."
"Oh... This is really a despairing discovery..." Shen Dinghai drooped his brows.
It’s not that he is pessimistic, but the current situation is indeed not optimistic.
"If I want to remove the restrictions in your body, I have to snatch Ning Wu away, which means I have to become stronger. To become stronger, I have to remove the seal, which is exactly what Ning Wu wants!"
“This is a dead end!”
Ran Ran shook her head, trying to suppress the surging blood and swallow the taste of rust between her lips and teeth.
"No, to unlock this restriction, you don't have to rely on your own strength. There are many strange and wonderful methods in this world, and strength is not the only criterion."
"Abundant spiritual energy and high level of cultivation are the result of personal efforts, but magic... is the crystallization of the wisdom of the people in the Xuanmen for thousands of years."
"This is the path our ancestors left behind. It's much easier to walk on than the path we explored on our own."
Ran Ran took a deep breath to adjust his state, "I believe that I will be able to find it. Even with my strength, I can defeat Ning Wu's forbidden magic."
"I won't let him have his way."
Shen Dinghai was somewhat moved by what he heard, "Okay, no matter what situation you decide to face in the future, I, your nephew, will be with you!"
Ranran reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. In a flash, she had adjusted her state.
The cement covering Lao He's body had been almost cleaned up by the Public Security Bureau. Zhang Wei just hurried over at this time, apparently she had just finished something.
Except that Ranran's face looked a little pale, she didn't see anything wrong.
The horrific state of Lao He's body left everyone present speechless.
Finally, it was Zhang Wei who broke the silence, "Young Master, could you please make another one of those?"
"Salvation of innocent souls."
Ran Ran nodded, "Even if a kind person doesn't ask, I will do it."
The warm white light enveloped the bodies of Ranran and Lao He.
Zhang Wei looked at him and sighed, then suddenly she turned her head and smiled at Shen Dinghai.
"Mr. Shen, I have a feeling that we will meet often in the future."
"Why do you say that?"
Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously, "I'll keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you and Master next time we meet." (End of this chapter)
