Chapter 102

Song Jixing's spiritual sense swept quickly, and he soon discovered a corpse in an abandoned amusement park not far from the You family.

The two tiptoed through the amusement park and walked directly towards You Beibei's location.

You Beibei was in a small cabin near the amusement park. The cabin door was overgrown with weeds, and the interior was piled high with abandoned items.

You Beibei lay on the left side of the cabin, her leg still pinned under a heavy object, next to long-dried bloodstains.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it seemed that a fallen metal object had impaled her leg, causing her to bleed out and perish.

You Beibei's spirit followed the two inside. Seeing her own body lying on the ground, she was so frightened that she hid behind Song Jixing, extremely flustered. "Mom, what's that on the ground? I'm so scared!"

"Mom, can we leave?" You Beibei pleaded loudly in tears.

Shen Feixian squatted down to comfort You Beibei, "Come on, uncle will take you out to play, okay?"

Tears rolled down You Beibei's face and fell to the ground without kicking up any dust.

"I want mom!"

Song Jixing sent a wave of spiritual power into You Beibei's body, then squatted down to soothe her spirit as well. "Beibei, you go out first. Mom will come find you later, okay?"

You Beibei looked at Song Jixing, "Will mom really come?"

"She will. Trust mom. Mom will always love you."

Hearing Song Jixing's words, You Beibei wiped her tears and nodded, following Shen Feixian out.

After the two had left, Song Jixing formed seals with her hands, wisps of light spreading from the long-desiccated corpse on the ground to the wider surroundings.

Before long, strands of pale, translucent light gathered in Song Jixing's palm. She channeled them all into her palm.

Having finished this, Song Jixing walked out to Shen Feixian standing to one side.

You Beibei rushed over again, standing by Song Jixing's leg.

Shen Feixian: "How is it?"

Song Jixing: "She has spiritual roots, and it's a single spiritual root. After being trapped here, her will to survive was very strong, so spiritual energy directly entered her body. But the child is too young and has lost too much blood, so the spiritual energy couldn't make it out of here."

Hearing this, Shen Feixian also sighed deeply. He looked at the little girl standing by Song Jixing's foot, feeling regretful.

Children with spiritual roots before the revival of spiritual energy were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Let alone a single spiritual root, which was extremely scarce even in the cultivation world.

If You Beibei was still alive, her future would have been bright.

What a pity...

"Junior sister, what do you plan to do with these?" Shen Feixian asked. Now that they had found You Beibei's corpse, they couldn't leave her lying here.

Song Jixing: "Let's call the police first! We'll talk about the rest later."

Song Jixing went back inside the house and took another look at the desiccated little body. She had a phone watch on her wrist.

If the watch still had battery, You Beibei could have called for help from her family at the time.

Just looking at the clothes and shoes You Beibei wore, Song Jixing felt that the You family simply hadn't charged the watch, not even paying attention to such details.

It was early spring weather half a year ago, at most light spring clothing, yet You Beibei still wore winter boots on her feet.

Song Jixing doubted that the watch had even been bought by the You family.

But it was useless to talk about all this now...

Song Jixing soon dialed the number for the police, telling them that she had discovered a desiccated corpse in an abandoned amusement park.

As for why she was here, she had a cover story prepared - she enjoyed exploring and wandered into the abandoned amusement park for inspiration for an upcoming audition.

The police arrived at the scene very quickly, opening up the amusement park entrance to examine and identify the corpse.

The phone watch was simply out of battery rather than broken.

After the police managed to charge the watch, they dialed the contacts on it one by one according to their relationship with the deceased.

First was dad. The phone rang a few times with no answer.

Considering busy adults, the police then called the grandparents' number. Still no one picked up. The call that finally went through was to mom.

After a few rings, the other end of the watch phone was finally answered.

Even from afar, Song Jixing could hear Bai Ping's agitated voice. "Beibei, you finally called mom! Mom missed you so much!"

The voice on the phone was choked with sobs...

The young female police officer holding the watch was silent for a good while before speaking, seemingly not expecting such a response when the call connected.

"Hello, this is the Old City Police Station..."

Song Jixing was asked by the police to go to the station to give her statement. Before getting into the police car, she saw a familiar license plate number, and Bai Ping running out from that car towards the amusement park.

The weather had turned a bit cold. Wearing only a sweater, she rushed from the car.

You Beibei's spirit was still following Song Jixing. She stared blankly.

But the moment Bai Ping ran past, she seemed to sense something, glancing in Bai Ping's direction but not going over.

Song Jixing opened her clasped hand, and white light flew into You Beibei's body. Her soul seemed slightly more substantial than before.

These were the last remnants of You Beibei's scattered soul that Song Jixing had managed to gather. Her abilities were limited, so this was all she could retrieve, perhaps enough to jog You Beibei's memories.

You Beibei looked up at Song Jixing, dazed for a good while, before calling her "mom" once more.

Song Jixing sent her voice to You Beibei through spiritual energy, "Come with me. I'll take you to find your mom tonight?"

You Beibei nodded, flashing Song Jixing a sweet smile.

Just as Song Jixing had sat down in the police car, an extremely miserable wail floated out from the abandoned amusement park, like a haunting soundtrack for the desolate scenery.

Attracted by the cry, You Beibei in the police car looked out of the window. She kept staring until the car had driven far away.
