I know this ancient god

Chapter 117 The Old Lady’s Funeral

"What kind of monster is this?!"

The policeman on the left was so frightened that he slumped in his chair and could not move. He had no desire to draw a gun and fight back.

The huge human face slowly moved away.

[Avery] stood on a treetop, holding two flat stickers between his fingertips. Two pictures of a steel jungle were outlined in black strokes on the stickers, with a colorful little man in each picture.

[Avery] withdrew his eyes from the picture, then took out a book with black text on a white background from his arms, and sandwiched the two stickers inside.

After doing this, he stood on the treetop and stared in the direction of Shen's yard for a few seconds, and his figure slowly faded into the air.

Two police officers disappeared on the way to Shen's house.

The positioning signal showed that they disappeared shortly after leaving the police station, including the people and the car. The emergency search and rescue also found nothing as in previous disappearance cases.

"The other party has already targeted us." The deputy team leader said with a sad expression, "But if I think more optimistically, the suspicion of the Shen family has increased. Otherwise, why are only Xiao Liu and Xiao Li missing?"

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely dull.

Just as all the police were worried, the mysterious case of people disappearing finally came to them. Many police officers did not dare to say anything for fear that they would become the next missing person.

As sons of mothers, husbands of wives, and fathers of children, the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders suppress their tongues and prevent them from speaking casually.

An old policeman said: "Can you grant us a formal search warrant now?"

The deputy team leader shook his head: "It's useless."

The old policeman's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately understood what the deputy leader meant, so he also shuddered.

So what if we get a search warrant?

Go check the Shen family again and be 'disappeared' again?

The deputy team leader closed the cap of his pen and glanced at the hesitant expressions of each team member. He said in a deep voice: "There is no need to go to the Shen family anymore. This matter will be reported to the top and we will wait for notification from above."

"yes!"

Three days later, the old lady was buried.

Because the will will not be announced until the day of the funeral, the person in charge of the old lady's funeral only hastily completed the necessary steps, omitting many details. As soon as the work was completed, they made a phone call to deliver the old lady's body to the funeral parlor.

The long motorcade drove out of Shen's house.

At this time, Imperial Palace City was under martial law, and the army was dispatched to control the situation. A soldier standing guard could be seen in the air and on the ground at intervals. Non-essential activities have been ordered to be reduced by the federal government. The flow of people on the streets is obviously not as good as before, and even the busiest streets have become depressed.

The disappearance of a large number of people has caused collective panic among the people of Imperial Palace City.

Under the control of the Federation, public opinion has not spread outwards, otherwise it will be a blockbuster news that will cause huge repercussions in the entire interstellar society.

"Grandma, I miss you so much."

Xiao Baixue sat next to Tang Xuan, holding a worn-out music box in her arms, murmuring words of remembrance in a low voice.

Tang Xuan comforted Xiao Baixue while feeding Tang Miaomiao chocolate.

It is worth mentioning that the bald man woke up from his coma and was sitting in the back seat of the car. However, he said that he was weak and might need to rest for a while.

The scenery outside the car moved quickly, and they gradually came to an unusually secluded place, which was the No. 1 Public Funeral Home of the Imperial Palace.

Tang Xuan looked out the window. He was a little confused because he didn't see anyone.

Given the size of Imperial City, dozens or even hundreds of bodies are sent here for cremation every day, so it shouldn't be so deserted.

A strange idea popped into Tang Xuan's mind.

Could it be that the Shen family has booked the funeral parlor?

Really worthy of being a fucking upper class person!

Tick ​​(water drop sound effect)!

The motorcade stopped slowly, the left and right doors slid open automatically, and Tang Xuan walked out of the car with Tang Miaomiao in his arms.

He turned around and saw all the white suits.

For unknown reasons, the Shen family did not invite foreign guests to this funeral, so except for the accompanying bodyguards and Tang Xuan and others, the rest were all Shen family members.

The Shen family seems to have intended to prevent outsiders from paying attention to the funeral.

Tang Xuan saw the direct descendants of the old lady gathering together and muttering something in low voices. He could not see the slightest trace of sadness on those faces, but instead saw veiled laughter.

Tang Xuan let out a long sigh in his heart.

It's really sad that the old lady raised such a bunch of beasts in vain after working hard to manage the family business.

At this time, an ice coffin with a suspension device installed at the bottom was pushed out, and the old lady was lying inside with a peaceful expression.

Before arriving, the Shen family had asked someone to groom the old lady's appearance in advance. At this time, she looked rosy and had a faint smile on her lips, as if she was just asleep.

After seeing the coffin, Xiao Baixue finally couldn't restrain the grief in her heart and burst into tears.

She cried and shouted: "Grandma!"

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Her voice was loud and instantly broke the silence outside the funeral home, but no one blamed her.

The 'supernatural' incident that happened next to the old lady's body three days ago frightened the people in charge of the Shen family so much that they had no time to avoid Xiao Baixue and could not take the initiative to follow her.

Xiao Baixue lay on the side of the coffin and looked in, seeing the face of her grandmother in the coffin. The scene of getting along together appeared in her mind, and bursts of heart-wrenching pain came from the bottom of her heart, stopping her steps.

Grief flooded into her heart, stirring up many thoughts and responses that she didn't understand.

Why do people who love me always have misfortunes?

Why am I unable to save them?

If I too had divine power.

Xiao Baixue's eyes gradually became chaotic.

In her heart, there seemed to be a snake that had just emerged from hibernation, looking at the world outside and getting ready to move.

"Condolences."

Tang Xuan stepped forward and comforted him softly. His voice woke up Xiao Baixue, who was in a state of confusion.
