Chapter 165 The Illusory Thread

"Okay, this is the one. Everything will be transferred to you tomorrow."

Ye Qingwan put away the documents, made a quick registration, and then hurriedly left.

She was extremely busy right now, and after confirming that Meros was alright, she prepared to attend to other matters.

Louis, like a well-behaved and adorable puppy, followed closely behind Ye Qingwan, busily helping her. From a distance, his figure appeared exceptionally busy and cheerful.

He was seen handing things to Ye Qingwan one moment, and bending down to tidy up the mess on the ground the next, going back and forth without stopping for a moment.

Looking at his hurried manner, it seemed as if he was afraid that if he was even a step too slow, he would displease Ye Qingwan.

A closer look at his back view is even more interesting.

His slightly bent body, coupled with his swaying gait, really gave people the illusion that a fluffy tail had grown out of his back and was wagging happily, so fast that it was almost like a whirring electric fan!

"Hehehe, little puppy. 凸(?`∧′)凸"

Lanster was forcibly held in Ye Qingling's arms. His face was originally sour, but when he saw Louis's behavior, he couldn't help but sneer.

He's annoyed with everyone now, except his uncle. After all, no one would be happy to be forced to wear a bow and then be held like a doll in a child's arms. Not to mention, he's going through his rebellious phase.

"Brother Mo, are you going to find Sister Yueyue?"

On the way here, little Ye Qingling already knew that her favorite sister Xiyue had left temporarily, which is why she is asking this question now.

"Yes, so will you take care of Lanster for me?"

Melos suppressed the urge to leave immediately and decided to leave Lanster at the psionic center so he wouldn't be distracted.

"Okay! Don't worry, I'll take good care of Lanster. We're good friends! I promise I'll complete the mission!"

Ye Qingling's eyes lit up when she heard this instruction.

This was the first time an adult had ever asked her to do something! She had to stay by Lanster's side at all times and protect him well!

"Hey! How come it's just a little kid like her taking care of me? (▼へ▼メ)"

Ye Qingling held Lanster tightly in her arms, ignoring her struggles and cries.

It's all my uncle's fault! He sealed away his abilities, only allowing himself to unleash them in times of crisis. Otherwise, how could he let himself be controlled by a little brat! Taking care of me? I'm the one taking care of her! (「▼皿▼」)

Lanster couldn't help but complain in his heart, only to see Meros pat his head before getting up and walking towards the door.

"Uncle, you..."

"He went to see your aunt, don't worry about it."

Louis interrupted Lanster as he was about to speak, gesturing for him to look at Meros.

Meros moved swiftly, his clothes fluttering, and in just a few minutes, he disappeared from their sight.

A light rain was falling from the sky, and under the streetlights, his silhouette looked so lonely and forlorn.

..............................

After emerging, Meros quickly determined the direction to find Lin Xiyue.

Before even stepping out of the psychic center, he had already quietly awakened the contract he had made with Lin Xiyue.

This contract was like a candle in the darkness. From the moment it was awakened, it served as a guiding light, leading him on his path to find the Lin Xiyue of today.

The bright moonlight poured down, illuminating the earth as if it were covered in silver.

Meanwhile, Meros, dressed in a jet-black robe, moved between rooftops like a ghost in the night.

His movements were light and agile, just like an incredibly nimble black cat. Each leap landed precisely on the rooftop, without even making a sound.

And so, relying on his extraordinary skills and keen perception of the power of the contract, he sped along.

Before long, a welfare home located near a slum but still within a safe zone came into his view.

The welfare home looked somewhat old, but under the moonlight, it exuded a sense of tranquility and peace.

Following the guidance of the contract, Meros arrived at the window of a room.

Looking through the half-open window, you can see twelve small beds neatly arranged in this room, which is neither too big nor too small.

In each small bed lay a child, seemingly immersed in a sweet dream, sleeping peacefully.

The children hugged their beloved little dolls tightly, some of which had fine stitches on them, clearly indicating that they had been carefully sewn.

They may have been broken before, but now they have become whole and lovely again, just like these children who, even after experiencing some minor setbacks and hardships, can still maintain their innocence and purity.

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, gently caressing the children's faces and bathing them in a soft golden glow.

One of the little girls turned her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she were having a beautiful dream; the other little boy hugged his toy even tighter, as if afraid it would suddenly run away. The whole scene was filled with tranquility and warmth, making one reluctant to disturb its beauty.

The contract is connected to that little girl.

Strangely, the connection that should have been directly attached to the contract on her body became illusory near the girl's chest, as if it wasn't actually her.

Meros stood outside the window and watched quietly for a while before climbing through the window and entering the room.

He quietly approached the little girl who should be Lin Xiyue, looked at her sleeping face, and then at the contract line connecting the two of them, his gaze becoming increasingly strange.

"No, this, this isn't her!"

Meros took a step back abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then squatted down to observe the little girl more closely.

You can tell Lin Xiyue's features from the little girl's eyebrows and eyes, but not from her eyes because she was still sleeping.

The connection was too surreal, and when he saw her, Moros didn't even feel anything; he just thought she was a little girl who looked like Lin Xiyue.

Meros thought for a moment and decided to wait until she woke up tomorrow to see what the problem was.

This place was brought here by a connection, and it was indeed connected between the two of them.
