Cultivation: Become God by playing a game

Shortly after Yu Tianqi left Xingfu Community.

In a hospital somewhere in Jiannan City, a male doctor who was sleeping in a dormitory suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

He pinched his chin and muttered to himself, "Is Taoist Tianqi also in Jiangnan City? Then this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

"If he finds my location, I'll be skinned alive even if I don't die."

"But now the plan has been carried out for the most part. If I dare to give up halfway, the deputy leader will not let me go easily."

"It seems that I must speed up the pace of searching for the 'Holy Seed'. After all, the 'Holy Seed' that I refined by sacrificing half of the city of Jiangnan cannot be left in Jiangnan City like this. I must find it back."

"The holy seed blooms once every ten years and bears fruit once every ten years. Calculating the time, the day when the holy seed blooms and bears fruit is not far away."

"In a year at most, the fragrance of the black lotus will waft through Jiangnan City, and by then it will have nowhere to hide."

"Before that, I must first find something for the old guys in the city to do to divert their attention."

"Otherwise, if I want to bring the Holy Seed back to the cult safely, it won't be an easy task."

After he finished speaking, the male doctor returned to the bed and lay down under the quilt.

After a while, the male doctor woke up again.

He touched his dizzy head and looked around with puzzled eyes.

"Strange... Why do I feel like I've woken up once? Could it be that I have a sleepwalking problem?"

"Forget it; I'll ask the teacher to help me later. Maybe it's because of the excessive pressure from work that I'm hallucinating."

After saying that, the male doctor stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the dormitory.

.....

At eight o'clock in the evening, in Jiangnan City, in a dilapidated residential building in the south of the city.

Zhao Lu's mother asked for leave from the housekeeping company early today because today is her son Zhao Lu's 18th birthday.

She wanted to celebrate for her son.

Put the birthday cake you bought especially in the refrigerator.

Only then did Zhao Lu's mother carefully take out the mobile phone in her pocket and nervously look at the text message that still had no reply.

"Strange, why hasn't my son replied to me yet? Today is his 18th birthday. Didn't he say he would come back?"

"But it's already eight o'clock in the evening; he should have been home a long time ago; didn't he have an accident on the way?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Lu's mother hesitated for a long time and decided to call her son.

But after hearing the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone for a long time, Zhao Lu's mother began to feel inexplicably uneasy.

She called several more times, but still no one answered the phone.

As a result, Zhao Lu's mother became even more anxious.

"No, my son is so sensible; he should be fine."

"I guess he was delayed by something at school, and he didn't bring his phone with him, so he didn't call me back."

"Yes, that's the case..."

Although she comforted herself this way, Zhao Lu's mother still looked flustered.

Then she thought about it and called Zhao Lu's class teacher first.

Upon learning that Zhao Lu had left school early during the day, Zhao Lu's mother's face immediately turned pale.

Then she immediately called Bian Shouyi.

After all, at this time, the only person she could think of who could find her son was Young Master Bian, who grew up with her son.

"What's wrong, Auntie? What happened?"

Bian Shouyi, who was practicing sword, put down the wooden sword in his hand, picked up his mobile phone, and asked.

"Master Bian, did Lu'er come to see you today?"

"Zhao Lu? I didn't see him today; what happened?"

Hearing that Bian Shouyi had not seen Zhao Lu today, Zhao Lu's mother was completely panicked and became a little incoherent.

"That, that Master Bian, that is, Lu'er, seems to be missing. I asked his class teacher, and the class teacher said that he left school during the day."

"He clearly said he would come back for dinner today, but he hasn't come back yet."

Hearing Zhao Lu's mother's anxious tone, Bian Shouyi comforted her while putting on the coat hanging next to him and walking out of the practice room.

"Auntie, don't worry. I guess Zhao Lu is just busy with something, so he hasn't come back yet."

"I'll go out and contact someone I know for you. I think we should be able to find him. Don't worry too much."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Master Bian."

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's okay. Zhao Lu is not a child anymore; he will be fine."

"Um..."

After Zhao Lu's mother hung up the phone, she stood in the dim old living room for a long time, then immediately picked up the bicycle key hanging by the door and left the house in a hurry.

Although Bian Shouyi kept comforting her, she always felt inexplicably anxious.

Zhao Lu's father died in the chaos ten years ago, and she raised Zhao Lu alone.

It can be said that Zhao Lu is everything to her. She dares not think about whether she can continue to hold on if something happens to Zhao Lu.

So Zhao Lu's mother decided to go out and look for it herself.

The first place she was going was Jiangnan No. 3 High School, where Zhao Lu studied.

Boom!

Just as Zhao Lu's mother turned out of the community on her bike, thunder sounded in the sky.

Soon, raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky, shrouding the entire Jiangnan city in a hazy rain curtain.

Because she was in such a hurry to go out, Zhao Lu's mother didn't have time to check the weather and didn't bring any rain shelter.

She rode her bike, letting the cold rain hit her face.

Because the rain was so heavy, she had difficulty opening her eyes and could only walk with her eyes squinted.

Just as she turned out of a pedestrian street on her bike, a bright light suddenly appeared beside her.

The next second, she heard the sharp sound of tires rubbing beside her, and then she felt dizzy and flew backward.

In a trance, she only vaguely saw that there were suddenly a lot more people around her.

They surrounded him, looking terrified and shouting something.

But they were panicking and shouting something, but Zhao Lu's mother... couldn't hear a word of it.

...

Two days later, Bian Shouyi and his parents appeared at a funeral.

Bian Shouyi looked at the photo of Zhao Lu's mother on the tombstone, his face still having the same expressionless expression that had never changed for thousands of years.

After an unknown amount of time, Bian Shouyi suddenly turned his head and looked at his father.

"Father, Uncle Lu and the others still haven't found Zhao Lu?"

Bian Shouyi's father shook his head and said, "No, they checked the surveillance cameras near the school and found that Zhao Lu seemed to be hiding from the cameras. After running to the suburbs in the south of the city, he hid and disappeared."

Hearing this, Bian Shouyi seemed to have thought of something and whispered, "Okay, got it."

Having said that, he turned and walked out of the cemetery.

Seeing him like this, his mother seemed to want to say something.

But before she could say anything, her husband beside her grabbed her and shook his head, telling her not to do anything unnecessary.

After Bian Shouyi walked away, his father said, "My son has grown up. He knows right from wrong in some things. Let him do it."

"But Captain Lu said that Zhao Lu..."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone follow him quietly."

"And Captain Lu said that the big shots from the Mountain and Seas Division have also rushed to the south of the city, so Shouyi will be fine."

As he spoke, Bian Shouyi's father looked at Bian Shouyi's back and said slowly, "Shouyi has had such a smooth life. I hope that after experiencing this incident, he can gain some insights."

"Don't let him suddenly find out while walking that he is the only one left on the path of cultivation."

Although Bian Shouyi's father said so much, Bian Shouyi's mother still looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Bian Shouyi's father immediately raised his one-armed left hand, patted her shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Okay, go back; our son will not let us down."

"All right..."

No one in this world can stay with you forever. Even your shadow... will be absent on a cloudy day.

Therefore, some things and some people, once missed, will be too late.
