Chapter 1712: Brought Back the Entire Tower
Chapter 1712: Brought Back the Entire Tower
Little Taotie happily returned to the Special Department, but at the moment the Special Department was empty, everyone had gone out to search for Shen Cang.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan went to the simulation room.
This time, Little Taotie learned to be smart and always chose food options, but since everyone was out, even the grandfather who delivered food was not there, so Little Taotie did not receive any food.
The little girl was not in a good mood because she did not receive any food, and she did not stay in the simulation room any longer.
She did not disturb the focused Hua Jinyan but instead left alone.
Hua Jinyan thought she was still simulating flying a plane, unaware that she had already left.
Back in the break room, Little Taotie shook the Horse-Faced Bell, and Feng Qi floated out from it.
Little Taotie asked about the candles inside the bell.
Feng Qi: "The ones not extinguished before entering are still lit, the ones extinguished before entering, I tried to light but to no avail."
Little Taotie furrowed her little eyebrows: "Are Spiritual Bodies really trapped inside?"
Feng Qi nodded: "The flames burn in various shapes, likely their forms before death, the flames on the three candles are exactly your three colleagues’ forms before death."
"Is there any way to release the Spiritual Bodies trapped in the candles?"
Feng Qi shook her head: "I don’t have a way for now."
"I’ll ask Brother Nie."
Little Taotie dialed the phone.
Soon, Brother Nie picked up: "Little Taotie, hello! Did you miss me?"
The little girl’s face turned red: "Brother Nie, there’s something important to ask you."
"Alright, go ahead." Brother Nie’s tone turned serious.
Little Taotie narrated her encounter at the Ancient Pagoda, the experiences within, and the scavenging incidents to Brother Nie one by one.
Brother Nie’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"An Ancient Pagoda made of pure gold, I think I’ve heard of it..."
Little Taotie did not disturb Brother Nie’s recollections.
After several minutes, Brother Nie gasped: "I remembered, it’s probably that Ancient Pagoda! Hold on, I’ll look for some records and call you back later!"
Before Little Taotie could speak, the phone was hastily hung up, clearly Brother Nie was eager to investigate, already off to find the records.
Little Taotie waited by the phone, resting her chin in her hands, waiting...
About half an hour later, Brother Nie’s call didn’t come, but Hua Jinyan came over instead.
"I thought something had happened to you." Hua Jinyan was sweating profusely, evidently having been searching for a while.
Little Taotie shook her head: "I’m fine."
She took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "Where did you search for me? You should have come here earlier."
Hua Jinyan shook his head: "No need to say more, I found you, that’s all that matters."
"Are you waiting for a call?" Hua Jinyan remembered seeing her earlier, with her hands supporting her chin, staring intently at the phone.
"Yes, I’m waiting for Brother Nie’s call."
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang.
"It’s here, it’s here, shh, let me take the call!" Little Taotie made a shushing gesture to Hua Jinyan.
Hua Jinyan nodded and pursed his lips.
"Hello, Brother Nie."
"I found it, but do not bring the Gold Bricks back, they are cursed, each Gold Brick is a curse!"
Little Taotie: "... You said it too late."
Brother Nie gasped: "How many did you bring back, let me think of a way to lift the curse."
Little Taotie whispered: "The entire pagoda’s Gold Bricks... I brought them all back."
Brother Nie accidentally hung up the phone but immediately called again: "Are you joking?"
