Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 144 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 11

Perhaps the medicine was effective, because Yun Gu regained some of her energy and slowly sat up on her own.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Yun Gu smiled and leaned against the headboard: "May I ask which of the Celestial Masters you two studied under?"

Lin Xiaoqian shook his head: "We are not Taoist priests."

Yun Gu was somewhat surprised, then sighed, "It's better if he's not a Taoist master."

Lin Xiaoqian asked directly, "Does Aunt Yun know that there are evil spirits living on this street?"

Yun Gu's face turned pale, and then she nodded sadly: "I not only know, but it is precisely because I know that I have become the way I am today."

Lin Xiaoqian frowned slightly; it seemed that Aunt Yun did indeed know.

Yun Gu looked at the two of them with a serious expression: "This matter is extraordinary, it's better if you two don't know too much."

Lin Xiaoqian asked, "Does Aunt Yun know about using evil spirits to sever the dragon vein?"

"What!" Yun Gu's pupils dilated in shock, and she looked at the two of them with extreme astonishment.

"Yes, yes, I finally understand, they want to ruin the fate of our country!" Yun Gu trembled all over, her eyes filled with hatred.

Lin Xiaoqian quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, Aunt Yun, the evil spirits on this street have been eliminated."

Yun Gu hurriedly asked, "Eliminated? Eliminated by whom? By the Celestial Masters?"

Lin Xiaoqian shook her head: "It's not the Celestial Master's Office."

Yun Gu lowered her head slightly, her expression shifting subtly.

Lin Xiaoqian said gently, "Aunt Yun, you can trust us. Please tell us what you know."

Yun Gu raised her head, her eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoqian: "Were you the ones who dug out the evil spirits from this street?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded slightly: "They are our people."

After a moment of silence, Yun Gu sighed and told everyone she knew.

Ten years ago, she was a Taoist priest at the Celestial Masters' Institute, where she met a Japanese Taoist priest.

Although the two countries fought a war in the past, they are now in a time of peace, and it is normal for them to have some exchanges of magic.

But then she suddenly noticed that some Japanese sorcerers were frequently appearing in their country. They seemed to be searching for something and often frequented places with heavy yin energy. Yun Gu became suspicious and began to secretly follow them, only to discover that they were suspected of raising evil spirits in their country.

She reported the matter to her superiors at the Celestial Masters Institute, requesting a thorough investigation. However, her superiors only told her that she was being paranoid and that she should focus on completing more missions and not sow discord between the two countries.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqian thought to himself, "This means there are bad people infiltrating us."

In a fit of anger, Yun Gu left the Celestial Master's Office and followed a Japanese sorcerer to the south. Strangely, the Japanese sorcerer did not do anything strange at first, but instead lived a normal life in an orderly manner.

In order to keep an eye on that Japanese monk, Yun Gu opened a shop on this street.

It wasn't until three years ago that she slowly noticed something different about the street; the yin energy was getting heavier and heavier. By the time she realized there were evil spirits on the street, it was too late. She had been controlled and poisoned with a curse, and was now insane and delirious every day.

If Lin Xiaoqian and the other person hadn't come today, she probably would have died in two days.

Lin Xiaoqian finally understood that the culprit who wanted to sever the dragon vein of their country was Japan!

I never imagined that Japan in a parallel world would be so vicious and so despicable.

Jiang Shuang asked, "So, your identity was already known to that Japanese sorcerer, but why didn't he just kill you? Instead, he used a curse to control you?"

Aunt Yun didn't know the answer to this question either.

"Perhaps, we can go and ask her ourselves."

Lin Xiaoqian asked, "Who is she? Where is she now?"

Yun Gu snorted coldly: "Her name is Suzuki Kanna, and everyone who knows her calls her Sister Kanna."

It was Sister Hong!

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang were both somewhat surprised.

Seeing their reaction, Yun Gu asked, "Do you know her?"

Lin Xiaoqian explained, "Aunt Yun, you may not remember, but we met a few days ago. I also have a shop on this street, right next to yours, and Sister Hong's shop is on the right."

Yun Gu was somewhat surprised: "You actually opened a shop in that store. That storefront has been empty for many years. At first, I wanted to buy that store because it was closer to Suzuki Kanna and would be easier to monitor her, but I couldn't find a seller, so I bought this store instead."

Lin Xiaoqian was still surprised: "I didn't expect Sister Hong to be Japanese. She speaks her native language so well."

“She has lived in this country since she was very young. If I hadn’t met her while following a Japanese monk and then had someone find her personal file, I would have almost thought she was a native of this country.”

Those Japanese, no matter how many years they live in their own country, will not change their vicious nature. Not to mention that she did not change her nationality, even among Japanese who did change their nationality, there are quite a few who become spies.

"Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen Sister Hong for three days. Her shop seems to have been closed the whole time," Jiang Shuang suddenly said.

Aunt Yun frowned: "She's not here?"

Jiang Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I haven't seen her for three days."

Yun Gu said, "It's strange. That woman never leaves her shop easily, and even when she does, she doesn't stay away for long."

As she spoke, she suddenly struggled to get out of bed: "I want to go to her shop and take a look."

But she had just vomited out the Gu worms and hadn't eaten for a long time, so she was extremely weak and couldn't get up at all.

Just then, Xiaotong came in carrying a bowl of freshly cooked porridge: "Master, the porridge is ready."

Seeing Yun Gu struggling to get up, she quickly put down the porridge and ran over, "Auntie, what are you doing? You're still very weak, don't get out of bed."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang quickly advised, "Aunt Yun, your current condition is not suitable for any strenuous activity. You should rest first."

Yun Gu said anxiously, "No, I have to go while she's not here."

Lin Xiaoqian grasped Yun Gu's hand, looked at her firmly, and said, "Yun Gu, don't worry, leave it to us."

Yun Gu seemed to be persuaded by Lin Xiaoqian's gaze. She slowly relaxed her body and leaned against the headboard.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you. Please be careful." They were able to create such powerful Gu worms for her, so they must be very capable people.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "Don't worry, Aunt Yun."

Lin Xiaoqian instructed Xiaotong to take good care of Yungu and to call for help next door if anything happened, before leaving with Jiang Shuang.

As they approached the small restaurant, the two looked at the tightly closed door next door.

"I didn't realize she was like that. I thought she was a friendly and intellectual older sister," Lin Xiaoqian exclaimed.

Jiang Shuang nodded: "They were indeed very well disguised. China has caught Japanese spies before, some of whom were Japanese who were born and raised in China and held Chinese citizenship."

Lin Xiaoqian looked at Jiang Shuang: "Sister Shuang, shall we go in and take a look?"

Jiang Shuang nodded slightly: "Of course we should go and take a look; we might be able to find a crucial clue."

The two returned to the shop and prepared themselves, dressed in the robes of the cultivation world underneath, covered with magic robes, holding energy guns from the cyber world, and wearing magical artifacts on their heads.

"You two, that's too extravagant!" Zhuang Damao laughed as he looked at their attire.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, they were like nouveau riche, but only they could be so extravagant.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoqian decided to go by herself instead of having Zhuang Damao and Jiang Shuang go.

Zhuang Damao was to keep watch outside for the two of them, in case Sister Hong suddenly came back.

As night fell, the streets were deserted, and Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang left the small restaurant.

Hongjie's shop was locked. Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang walked around the shop and found a window at the back.

The windows were closed, but unlocked. Even if they were locked, it wouldn't matter; they could just smash them with stones and open them. If it weren't so difficult to break the locks, they would have done so already.
