ABMB Chapter 87
by REX-NOVELISTS“Wan Ju’s home, to confirm some things.”
Bai Wu didn’t quite understand, “What can he tell us?”
Cheng Miao had already pressed the doorbell, “Who knows?”
Bai Wu really couldn’t guess what he was thinking, so he could only follow behind him.
Soon, a maid came to open the door.
Cheng Miao said in a gentle tone, “We’re just here to investigate some things, no need to be nervous. Is Wan Ju home?”
“Okay.”
The small gate opened, and the two followed her through an avenue full of sunflowers towards the villa standing outside the courtyard.
As soon as they entered, Bai Wu heard loud “tu-tu” sounds, like the sounds of a competitive game.
Cheng Miao raised his hand, “No need. If it’s convenient for you, madam, could you allow us to ask him a few questions alone?”
The woman hesitated upon hearing this, “Just asking about that night, is there a need to ask him alone?”
The woman pondered for a moment before saying, “If Xiao Ju has caused any trouble, please be sure to tell me.”
“Please rest assured, of course.”
Only then did the woman agree.
Cheng Miao led Bai Wu inside. It was a rather large gaming room. A very large television was placed in the middle of the wall, playing a game similar to King of Fighters. Wan Ju was wearing gloves and hitting his opponent.
The television was turned up very loud. Bai Wu couldn’t help but frown as soon as he entered.
Bai Wu, who was watching from the side, was quite puzzled and asked, “Aren’t you going to ask?”
“Wait a bit.”
Bai Wu wondered if it was because Cheng Miao was so considerate that he was waiting for him to finish his game first?
About ten minutes passed before Wan Ju finished his game.
Bai Wu’s eyes widened, “Is this kid playing with us!”
Cheng Miao raised his hand, signaling him to stop talking first.
“We’re here today to ask about some things related to the mountainous area south of City C.”
After thinking for a while, Wan Ju said, “I did go there, so what?”
“How long were you there?”
Bai Wu was a little puzzled when he heard this, “Didn’t you…”
Wan Ju nodded, “That’s right.”
“Did you encounter anyone there? Was there anyone who sent you out?”
Because I snuck out, I had spent all the money I had on me. He took me to a hotel, paid for a few days of fees for me, and gave me some travel expenses to go home. He told me to go back when I was done having fun outside.”
“He paid for a few days of your room fees?”
“A week, and he also gave me money for food.”
Cheng Miao took out a photo from his notebook. It was Zhou Xun’s photo, “Was this the person who brought you to the hotel?”
Wan Ju nodded repeatedly after just one glance, “Yes, it was him.”
But he quickly reacted, “Do you guys know him? What’s wrong with him?”
Bai Wu was already beyond shocked. His mind was racing, trying to digest all the information.
“Okay.”
Bai Wu’s mind was very confused after coming out of Wan Ju’s house.
Since Wan Ju wasn’t in that mountain area that night, then the person they met could only be the person with the [Thousand Faces] YiShou ability.
Zhou Xun sent Wan Ju away, and then let his people transform into his appearance, lurking there for a few days.
So, the people Bai Wu and Cheng Miao met back then weren’t the real person, but his people.
Looking at it that way, Wan Ju indeed wasn’t as tall as he was that night. The Wan Ju that night was about the same height as them, but today’s was half a head shorter.
So, who exactly is the person with [Thousand Faces]?
