Monument of Life and Death

   Before Xia Hua finished asking, Zhou Ye's answer came out impatiently.

   "Sister Xia Hua, I've made up my mind," Zhou Ye smiled as if afraid of Xia Hua's repentance, and said lightly, "I'll help you wake up your life bug."

  Zhou Ye's expression didn't look like he was ready for enlightenment at all, but like a child looking forward to a spring outing.

  Even Xia Hua is a little confused, does Zhou Ye really understand what it means to wake up the life insect?

"Normally, my life worm is in my body, as long as I need it, it can appear at any time," Xia Hua simply explained the current situation, "However, I just discovered that my life worm doesn't know where to go. At first, it seemed to fall into a deep sleep."

  Zhou Ye nodded patiently, like a well-behaved little doll.

  Xia Hua looked at Zhou Ye's appearance, swallowed, and then said, "In the past... this kind of thing has never happened, but last time, a friend presented me with a container, awakening the life bug..."

  After speaking, there was a long silence between the two.

  Xia Hua looked at Zhou Ye seriously, and Zhou Ye looked at Xia Hua calmly.

   "Present the container..." After a while, Zhou Ye repeated, "The container refers to..."

  The shadows in Xia Hua's eyes shone brightly.

   A simple and direct sentence.

   "The container is your body."

  ***

   "Since this hospital is related to the Nine Sects..." Luo Jiutian pondered and said, "Let's search again, maybe we can find a lot of clues here."

   Saying that, Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan rummaged through the file cabinet.

  The priest did not participate.

  Luo Jiutian flipped through the pages, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that the Taoist chief was squatting at the desk beside him, observing the ground.

   "Master Dao," Luo Jiutian held the document in his hand, turned his head curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"

   "Here, there is a footprint." The Taoist priest raised his head and pointed to the ground.

   "Whose footprints?" Luo Jiutian said as he walked over, "There are so many footprints on the ground, which one are you referring to?"

   "Here," the Taoist priest drew a closed shape among the messy and complicated footprints, "Look."

  Li Muyuan also approached, and the two poked their heads out from two directions, and looked together.

   "Oh, I can see it," Li Muyuan nodded and said, "It's a complete footprint...but what's wrong with this footprint?"

   "Don't you think this footprint is a bit small?" Daoist frowned and said, "Especially when compared with the footprints next to it, including the three of us, the size of this footprint is obviously smaller than the three of us."

   "It doesn't look like the footprints of an adult man," Luo Jiutian understood the meaning of the Taoist priest, "it's either a woman or a child."

   "And this footprint seems to be clearer than the other footprints," Li Muyuan also said, "The process of leaving the footprints should be very hard."

   "Leave a footprint with force?..." Luo Jiutian began to imagine with difficulty, "How to do this..."

   "Actually..." The Taoist priest hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I think these footprints are somewhat familiar."

  The two looked at him in unison.

"Familiar with?"

   "Maybe I'm thinking too much..." The Taoist chief tilted his head, his tone hesitant, "I somehow feel that this footprint may be left by Xiaolan."

   "Xiaolan?" Luo Jiutian's eyes widened, "How could Xiaolan... You mean Xiaolan has been here too?"

  The Taoist chief raised his chin with his hands and pondered, "Do you think this is a possibility?"

   "Then Xiaolan left this footprint so hard that we can recognize her?" Luo Jiutian scratched his head and said, "Why didn't she leave some clearer clues?"

   "These footprints are not necessarily for us," Li Muyuan said, "Even if Miss Xiaolan has really been here, she would never have imagined that we will come here."

   "If it wasn't like this, how could Xiaolan leave such heavy footprints with such a small weight?" Luo Jiutian said, "Unless she jumped a few times on the spot."

   "jump..."

  The Taoist master said this word silently, he blinked, and then slowly raised his head.

   On the ceiling directly above him, there is a square air vent the size of a palm.

  Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan also raised their heads, and the three of them stared at the vent for a long time.

"No way, Daoist, you don't think Xiaolan jumped in here, did you?" Luo Jiutian made the shape of the air vent with his hands, "I know Xiaolan is very petite, but she is a human being after all. It’s not a mouse, how could it possibly jump in from here?”

   "Of course not here," the Taoist priest lowered his head, looking at the two with eyes full of enthusiasm, "But you forgot? Xiaolan, like Xiaoyin, can tear through space."

   The two of them stood and reacted for a while.

   "If it's Xiaolan, she can land here from mid-air," the Taoist priest pointed to the footprints on the ground, "She traveled through space and came here from elsewhere."

   "What is she doing here?" Li Muyuan asked.

   "Come to see us?" After Luo Jiutian said this, even he didn't believe it, "Hiss...probably not, she didn't know we were here..."

   "Perhaps Xiaolan, like us, entered this world by mistake," said the Taoist priest. "In this case, what she wants to go to is the dean's office in reality."

   "Xiao Lan didn't come back to the bridge!" Luo Jiutian's focus went astray, "Did the others come too? We are saved!"

   "After they came back, they didn't find us, so they will definitely start an investigation," Li Muyuan said, "It seems that the dean's office is the result of their investigation."

  As soon as the rescuers came, Luo Jiutian's fighting spirit was completely different. He straightened his waist, as if Xiao Lan had already stood behind him with a gun on his shoulders to protect him.

   "Then we have to work hard," Luo Jiutian happily ran back to the filing cabinet, "Continue to look for clues, and we must not let them down."

   "There is one more question," said the Taoist priest, "If they really came, then... where did they go now?"

  Luo Jiutian's movements stopped.

   "They... left this room?" Li Muyuan said.

   "Oh, then have they found the clues?" Luo Jiutian's fighting spirit appeared quickly and disappeared quickly, "Forget it, let's stop looking for clues, and go directly to them."

   "I don't think so," Daoist held the desk with one hand, and tapped the table with his fingertips, making regular noises. "Although it's messy here, there aren't many traces of searching."

  Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan looked at him with puzzled faces.

   "Then they are..."

   "I'm a little worried. They escaped from here because they were in danger..."
