Chapter 85 doesn't even have a Madam Zhu.
Yan Yi looked at her somewhat excited senior brother, her lips trembling slightly.
"Yes, yes, 7:30, I'm right on time, senior."
Lin Ye suppressed his breathing, took out his phone, and turned on the screen.
08: 01.
He frowned slightly and opened the browser: Liya Standard Time Calibration.
The page loaded for a few seconds, then a string of numbers popped up.
07:31:56...57...
Seeing the ticking time, Lin Ye's face lit up with ecstasy.
He turned around, stared straight at Yan Yi, grabbed her, and spun her around several times in the air.
"Xiaoyi! You're truly my lucky star!"
Yan Yi, somewhat confused by Lin Ye's words, chuckled along.
"Senior brother, what happened?"
Lin Ye put Yan Yi down and shook his head. "It's okay, it's not important."
"Come, I have finished practicing the shock technique and have broken through to the fourth level of the fist technique."
"With my help, I'll definitely get you past the second level within a week!"
......
Around noon, Yan Yi pushed open the training room door to go downstairs to get her lunch.
After she left, Lin Ye took out his phone, looked at the time on the screen, and smiled.
The mechanism for leaving is not unlocking achievements, nor exploration progress, but... time!
He recalled the first two times, the medieval church and the dark predator, the perceived time was about thirty minutes each time.
The reason I didn't notice before was because I didn't bring my phone into the church that time.
The phone screen shattered the first time I entered the Dark Predator.
It wasn't until I improved my skills and re-entered the game that I managed to keep my phone.
After a moment of silence, he silently murmured in his heart, "Monument".
A black stone tablet appeared on the back of his right hand, and he looked at the exploration progress line of the achievement "Whispers of the Dark Spider Mother".
65%.
"Madam Zhu..."
"Senior brother, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Yan Yi's voice rang in my ears as she brought over a plate.
Lin Ye took it and looked at Yan Yi, "Xiao Yi, how did you find Madam Zhu?"
Yan Yi was taken aback. "Madam Zhu? How did you find her? It's her."
The sound stopped abruptly. She was a little confused, then her brows furrowed as she tried hard to recall how she had found Madam Zhu.
"Senior brother, I... I don't think I can remember?"
"But shouldn't it be the contact information in the police station's case file?"
"Is there a problem?"
"pound!"
Lin Ye put the tray on the ground, took Yan Yi's hand, and said, "Let's go! Let's go again!"
"Hey, hey, senior brother, finish eating before you go, it'll get cold!"
After leaving the company, Yan Yi drove her car and soon arrived at the coordinates where she had met Madam Zhu that day.
but......
The two looked at the giant shopping mall in front of them, which was packed with people.
"Senior brother, are you sure you've got the location right? Or is the GPS wrong?"
Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"So, it was aimed at me."
He shook his head and looked at Yan Yi. "Is your father home?"
"Yes, my father has been recuperating at home."
"Come on, let's go to your house."
Half an hour later, the two pushed open the door to Yan Yi's house and went straight to Yan Xiangzhen's bedroom.
Yan Xiangzhen, who was eating a takeout spicy hot pot, was startled and quickly hid the food.
"Hehehe, what brings you guys here?"
Yan Yi walked up to him expressionlessly and snatched the hot pot from his hand.
"Be careful of developing hemorrhoids from eating spicy food!"
After saying that, she took the hot pot and threw it directly into the trash can.
Yan Xiangzhen smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, skipping the topic altogether.
"Kobayashi, what brings you here?"
Lin Ye sat down on the edge of the bed. "Uncle Yan, do you have any photos of the boss from the bombing?"
"I mean, the photo of the coffee shop owner, the single mother."
Yan Xiangzhen's expression hardened when he heard the word "single mother".
"You know?"
Lin Ye nodded. "Uncle Yan, I am a formal disciple of the Crimson Whale Sect and a combat advisor to the police department."
Yan Xiangzhen fell silent, then sighed and looked at Yan Yi.
"Go to the study, to the third shelf from the left on the second shelf of the bookcase."
"There's a hidden compartment containing the complete case file from the bombing case back then, which I got from your Uncle Li."
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.
"Li? The current Chief of Police of Coastal City, I think, is surnamed Li."
After Yan Yi left, Lin Ye placed his hand on Yan Xiangzhen's wrist, and a slight burst of energy emanated from it.
Yan Xiangzhen felt the vibration in his wrist and looked shocked.
"This is... a tremor?! You've mastered the tremor technique?!"
Weren't you practicing Shock Techniques just a while ago? How come you've already reached the Shock Technique level in just a few days?!
Lin Ye didn't speak, but simply controlled the vibrations to travel through Yan Xiangzhen's body.
Not long after, the chilling aura they had sensed earlier collided with the shockwave, and the two annihilated each other.
The moment the chilling aura vanished, Yan Xiangzhen felt much lighter and his complexion became rosy.
But soon, that chilling feeling returned, and his just-energized complexion became somewhat listless again.
Lin Ye withdrew his hand and shook his head. "I can't eradicate it completely. Although I can suppress it temporarily, that aura has already seeped into my bones."
It was too late. If it had been earlier, he might have been able to completely eliminate that chilling aura.
But now that the chilling aura has seeped into his very bones, it has become a part of Yan Xiangzhen's body.
In addition to being consumed by the cold aura, it also generates this cold aura itself, causing it to grow stronger.
The assassination and combat techniques developed based on soft vibrations are extremely insidious.
Yan Xiangzhen smiled and sighed upon hearing this, "It's alright, it's already much better. At least you can breathe much more easily now."
Just as she finished speaking, Yan Yi appeared at the door, looking at the dossier in her hand with a face full of shock, even some fear.
"Dad, is this the owner of the coffee shop?"
She walked closer, and Lin Ye took the file and looked through it.
The portrait in the one-inch photo looks exactly like Mrs. Zhu's.
Yes, the Dark Spider Queen is even thinner than in the photos, but Madam Zhu looks exactly the same.
Yan Xiangzhen, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Yi looked troubled as she gazed at her father.
"The coffee shop owner looks just like Mrs. Zhu."
Yan Xiangzhen's pupils contracted slightly. "What did you say?!"
Yan Yi was taken aback, not expecting her father to react this way.
Lin Ye also looked up at Yan Xiangzhen.
"Uncle Yan, do you know something?"
Yan Xiangzhen gritted his teeth, "I have never met the Madam Zhu you mentioned before."
"But after Xiaoyi said that you had met with Mrs. Zhu that day, I was afraid that the bombing case would involve more things, so I checked the internal system of the police station."
"As it turned out, we couldn't find this person at all."
"The villa area where she lived was demolished after the bombing twenty years ago and a shopping mall was built in its place."
"...There is no such person as Madam Zhu."
Silence fell over the bedroom as Lin Ye silently flipped through the files.
It is now confirmed that the Dark Spider Queen is the original coffee shop owner.
Not long after, he turned to the last page and roughly understood the process of the bombing.
A group of mysterious men killed the coffee shop owner's son and took his heart.
Looking at the photo on the last page, a mother is kneeling on the ground, holding her dead son.
There was a hole in the boy's heart.
