Chapter 296: Chapter 32 The Dying Vice Dean

"Li Sheng? Li Sheng?"

In the midst of wind and snow, Ge Nian Cheng even doubted if he had heard incorrectly as he took steps toward the dense fog ahead, knowing full well that this fog was extremely dangerous.

He lifted the bamboo pole, wanting to try and extend it into the fog.

Whether the fog concealed a human or something inhuman, this was always a safer measure.

"Li Sheng, is that you?"

But at that moment, a wave of dense fog surged crazily toward all the patrolling individuals!

Dai Lin immediately launched an attack with his left eye at that instant!

...

...

Dylan huddled over a candle, flipping through a yellowed book.

In this village without television or smartphones, reading was Dylan’s only form of entertainment.

And it was only through books that she could learn about the world outside the White Mist.

Nanmian Village was an extremely poor place that couldn’t even be found on the county map, yet the world outside was incredibly vast.

Dylan suddenly glanced toward the window beside her.

Just now, she thought she vaguely heard a tremor in the glass of the window.

Was it an illusion?

She walked to the window, gazing out into the snowstorm.

The snow was really getting heavier.

But outside the window, there were no traces of anyone else.

"Must have heard wrong," she thought.

So, Dylan returned to her seat, picked up the book from the table, and started to read again.

Being cut off in this village completely isolated from the outside world, Dylan could only discover what was happening beyond the White Mist by reading these old yellowed books.

Even though she had read most of them already, she was still deeply engrossed.

The book she was now reading was one of the few novels in the house, a gift from Uncle Li when he had gone to work in the city and bought it for her brother.

It was a horror novel by an author with the pen name "Black Phantom," titled "Dead Souls Cinema."

She liked this book a lot and was engrossed in it when suddenly, the window area emitted a similar noise again.

Dylan looked over cautiously.

What had happened?

Once could be a coincidence...

But what about twice? Thrice?

What on earth was going on?

Dylan’s house was relatively closer to the White Mist.

This detail was starting to unsettle her.

She stepped outside and asked, "Dad? Mom?"

But there was silence all around.

Dylan’s complexion began to turn rather unsightly.

Then, she heard a strange sound.

From underneath the stairs...

Came a faint sound...

Like something tearing!

...

Han Ming now vaguely guessed where Dai Lin might be.

The reason he chose this coffee shop was precisely to sense Dai Lin to the greatest extent possible in this place Dai Lin had visited.

Under normal circumstances, Han Ming only needed to pick up a cigarette butt from the ground, and no matter how far the smoker was from him, he could instantly invade the other person’s body and be clearly aware of their location, even manipulate the people around them.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could even manipulate the President of the United States to press the nuclear button. But he would never do that.

However, here, he still couldn’t detect Dai Lin’s location.

So there was only one possibility left.

At that time, Lu Yuqing approached Han Ming with utmost respect.

"Han, Han, Director Han..."

Lu Yuqing dared not even lift his head in front of this tycoon.

"Will Director Fang come back later?"

"He won’t be returning for the time being," Han Ming sized up Lu Yuqing and said, "Chen Jun told me that the department wants to focus on cultivating you."

"It’s all, all Director Chen’s overestimation of me!"

"There’s no need for such pointless modesty."

When Han Ming said this, he looked at Lu Yuqing.

"If you encounter Dai Lin... or if you can predict that Dai Lin will appear near you, inform me immediately. This is my cellphone number."

"Yes... yes! I’ll save it..."

"But... apart from this, no matter what happens, you must not contact me with this number. In other instances, you must report to Chen Jun first and then inform me."

"Understood... I understand..." Lu Yuqing became increasingly apprehensive, "Besides that, I will never disturb you!"

Han Ming nodded his head, then said, "I’m leaving."

"Have a safe trip!"

When Han Ming walked out of the cafe, he faintly felt that he might never see Dai Lin again.

The people from the Demons Department had laid their hands on him.

This was the speculation that Han Ming currently felt was most likely.

"Levin Keli..."

Han Ming realized an even more terrifying fact... perhaps, he wouldn’t live to see the end of this year.

He had already made arrangements...

And after his death, he would be able to meet his father.

Even now, Han Ming could not forget the look in his father’s eyes when he was on his deathbed.

Until death...

His father never forgave him.

Even as he was tormented by liver cancer to his last breath, his father at death’s door still refused to forgive him. His final words before he died were that even if Han Ming died, he could not be buried in the same cemetery as him.

Including his grandparents, all family members believed that his father’s cancer recurrence and eventual progression to the late stage was caused by the anger Han Ming provoked. Especially his aunt, who thought so more than others.

If... they knew he might be dying soon, what would their attitude toward him be?

Han Ming strolled on the streets of W city, yet his mind... was back in his hometown.

He could sense the current state of his relatives at any time.

After his uncle passed away, his aunt struggled to make ends meet running a small store by herself.

He was going to die.

Before death, he wanted to see his aunt one more time.

To personally visit her.

His aunt was already in her sixties, but she looked much younger than most people because Han Ming had used Spiritual Therapy Points on her.

In Hospital 444, Han Ming could decide the livelihood and death of most doctors, but he could never lift his head in front of his aunt.

Because his uncle’s death...

Was caused by him.

At this moment, two girls holding smartphones passed by him.

"Did you see the news... Is it true? Li Mingjun just got arrested for drug use and now he’s dead?"

"It seems the police haven’t issued an official announcement yet."

"What’s going on?"

"Could it be an overdose?"

"He got what he deserved, why get into drugs at all! Look at the comment section, it’s full of unethical comments, a bunch of people are so into celebrity worship they’ve lost their moral compass!"

"Exactly!"

The two girls brushed past Han Ming, completely unaware that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man was the root cause of the drug-addicted celebrity’s death!

As Han Ming walked on, suddenly, his mind was engulfed by a vision of White Mist!

"What... what exactly is this?"

Han Ming felt as if everything around him ceased to exist, leaving only the White Mist before his eyes.

He became vigilant.

Could it be the situation that Dai Lin was currently facing?
