Early the next morning. Mo Xin opened her eyes dazed and bleary.
"Haaa~"
Waking up in the morning, Mo Xin stretched like a kitten that had just woken up and took a deep breath. The fresh air was like sweet candy, refreshing her and making her feel full of energy! It was already almost 11 o'clock. Mo Xin looked at her sister sleeping soundly beside her.
'It's really been a long time since I've seen Sister sleep in.'
In the past, her sister often had to work part-time to support herself, sometimes working several jobs when she had free time. Even though Mo Xin wanted to help, she was nowhere near as hardworking as her sister. So even if life was a bit hard back then, she didn't feel sad. Since her sister worked so hard, how could she be discouraged!
Thinking of this, Mo Xin got out of bed quietly to avoid accidentally waking her sister. She simply threw on some clothes, tucked her sister in, and silently walked out of the room. Since it was the first night and everything was new, Mo Xin wasn't used to it and had slept with Mo Xi.
She walked slowly to the living room and found Father Ye and Mother Ye already sitting there, drinking tea and watching TV.
"Oh, little Xin is awake? How is it, are you comfortable living here?" Mother Ye noticed Mo Xin coming downstairs and greeted her with a smile.
"Yes... I'm used to it... Thank you for your concern, Auntie."
"Haha, child, it's good that you're comfortable. Your sister is my daughter, so from now on, you can just call me Mom."
"Although it's a bit late, would you like to eat something?" At this moment, Father Ye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. Hearing this, Mo Xin felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly waved her hands.
"Thank you, Uncle... but I'm not really hungry." This was the truth; after all, she often skipped breakfast in the past. However, these warm words caused a faint, almost imperceptible smile to appear on the corners of Mo Xin's mouth. She had thought her sister's parents would be difficult to get along with, but both Father and Mother Ye were being considerate of her in their own ways.
'This is so nice...'
Ye Guizhou understood at a glance that the little girl hadn't fully accepted it yet, so he didn't push her further. Anyway, once her breakfast was brought out, she would probably be "forced" to accept it.
Thud!
A tall figure walked out from the kitchen. The newcomer was Sister Acheron. Sister Acheron had shed her "cosplay outfit" and changed into a simple set of loungewear, yet it still failed to hide her cold and aloof aura. At this moment, Sister Acheron came to the living room holding three servings of breakfast.
Mo Xin: (๑•. •๑)
Sister Acheron also noticed the extra person and asked with a slightly confused tone. "Is there a guest?"
The couple had an "as expected" look on their faces, while only Mo Xin was secretly giggling, still unaware of the situation. 'Sister Acheron can actually mistake someone like this, hee hee hee!'
So Mo Xin laughed and said, "It's me, Sister Acheron! I didn't expect that you wouldn't recognize me after I changed my clothes."
Hearing this, Sister Acheron had no expression on her face, only her brows furrowed slightly. Mo Xin hadn't realized the problem yet when she saw Sister Acheron put down the breakfast and come to her side. She saw Sister Acheron staring at her blankly and thought it was because of the clothes.
"What's wrong? Is it strange for me to wear these clothes?"
But Sister Acheron said politely, "Hello, I am Acheron."
Mo Xin (⊙_⊙)?: Eh? Does Sister Acheron like to make these kinds of jokes?
"Sister Acheron, stop joking. I'm Mo Xin, don't... stop joking..." Halfway through, Mo Xin finally felt something was wrong, and she took a few steps back in confusion. Because the expression on Sister Acheron's face was the same as usual and didn't look fake, and she seemed to see a deep confusion in the other's eyes.
Before Mo Xin could figure it out, she heard Sister Acheron say something shocking.
"Mo Xin? Have we... met somewhere before?"
Listening to Sister Acheron's confused yet serious words, the smile on Mo Xin's face completely vanished. 'Sister Acheron... she doesn't remember me?'
At the same time, the morning at the Muyun City Ability Bureau was not peaceful either. From the outside, the Muyun City Ability Bureau didn't look much different from a police station, except it was overall smaller and its location was more hidden. Chen Yuxuan's team members arrived at the bureau listlessly, and one person was missing from the original four.
"Alright, everyone cheer up, don't think the problem is too serious! Take Sparkle to the interrogation room first, I'll be right back." After saying that, Chen Yuxuan walked away quickly. Lu Hao and little Yao looked at each other, then swept away their gloom and forced themselves to perk up. Then, they walked into the bureau together.
On the other side, Chen Yuxuan arrived at an office door. Knock knock knock. "Come in." A cold and pleasant voice came from inside. Then Chen Yuxuan pushed the door and entered. After entering, he saw a woman with a graceful figure, like a willow swaying in the wind, as elegant as rolling clouds, showing her gentleness. She sat at her desk, her charming eyes showing a hint of fatigue.
After seeing who it was, she immediately asked, "How is the situation?"
Chen Yuxuan's originally serious expression suddenly changed. "Sigh, no good, the cause can't be found at all. Even little Yao's Supernatural Ability 'Holy Healing' has no effect whatsoever."
"Even little Yao's Supernatural Ability is useless? Then we might really have no good options right now."
"Even you think so... The only good news now is that Qing Yutong's vital signs, though weak, are still there. She's in a state similar to a vegetative person."
Although he had expected it, this result still made his expression freeze. The person in front of him was named Yan Xi—the Director of the Muyun City Ability Bureau. And the Director wouldn't speak without reason; at least in Muyun City, there was no way to cure her. Seeing his lonely expression, Yan Xi changed her tone.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared to apply for assistance from above. It's just that we need to learn more information. After all, little Yao's Supernatural Ability is a standout even among the healing types. If the higher-ups just send any healing Supernatural Ability User, it might not work at all."
Hearing this, Chen Yuxuan also gradually calmed down. Indeed, Qing Yutong's vital signs were currently normal. As long as they could find the cause, the problem could be solved. Thinking of this, Chen Yuxuan's mood gradually improved a lot. After seeing that Chen Yuxuan's emotions were stable, Yan Xi returned to the main topic.
"Now, let's continue with the other issue. Regarding that girl named 'Sparkle', give me a detailed explanation again."
"Yeah, I was planning to go to the interrogation room to find her later. You might as well come yourself. I'll explain what happened again on the way."
Yan Xi also had this idea, so she agreed. "Alright, let's go then."
The two soon arrived outside the interrogation room, where Lu Hao and little Yao were waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing the captain's arrival, the two immediately stepped forward to ask. "Captain, how is it? Is there a way?"
Chen Yuxuan looked at the anxious pair and could only helplessly comfort them first. After getting an answer, although she couldn't be cured yet, at least there was still hope. Only then did the two belatedly notice the Director behind the captain. They were instantly flustered, but before they could explain, Yan Xi took the initiative to diffuse the awkwardness.
"It's fine, there's a reason for it, and there's no need to be too formal normally."
"Sorry, Sister Yan..."
Chen Yuxuan coughed twice and talked about business. "Where is Sparkle?"
"Reporting to the captain, we've already taken Sparkle into the interrogation room, just waiting for you."
"Hmm."
Chen Yuxuan nodded slightly, then signaled to the Director with his eyes. Yan Xi understood and entered the interrogation room with Chen Yuxuan first. This interrogation room was different from a normal one; you couldn't see the situation inside from the outside.
When they pushed the door and entered, and saw the person in front of them clearly, the expressions on their faces immediately froze. Sitting in front of the chair was a woman wearing a tight black dress that outlined her graceful curves. She wore red lipstick, her eyes were as deep as the sea, and she was mature and charming with a hint of mystery. A pair of black sunglasses hung on her purple hair.
When the two entered and saw the woman, Yan Xi's first impression was beauty, extreme beauty. Even though Yan Xi considered her own looks and figure to be good, she couldn't compare to her. And the feeling the woman gave Chen Yuxuan was danger—this woman was definitely extremely dangerous. This came from his intuition, especially the woman's vacant eyes, which seemed as if they could see through a person's heart.
When the woman noticed someone entering, the corners of her eyes lifted slightly, and her lips curled up into a faint smile. A charming yet soul-piercing voice came from the woman's red lips.
"Hello there, little cuties."
