Chapter 2699. Fish in a Bottle
The incident in Jail Demon Hall had yet to be explained. Although it was suggested that the raging of the Red Blood Demon might have been somehow connected to the Blood Marrow Geno Fluid, the Inspection Department came to no ultimate conclusion. And before the incident, no one had known that the Bone Marrow Geno Fluid could produce this sort of effect. The warehouse frequently offered that type of geno fluid when they ran out of the ordinary ones, so it all seemed like one giant coincidence. No one should have been responsible for what occurred.
But Han Sen thought things couldn’t have been that simple. He firmly believed the event had something to do with Liyu Zhen and Li Xue Cheng. Li Xue Cheng had visited him not long before the lockdown took place. The timing was too suspicious to be a coincidence.
But there was no evidence linking the event to Li Xue Cheng, and that meant Han Sen could not do anything to the man.
“It is a shame that the Red Blood Demon doppelganger will take another six months to regenerate. Otherwise, I could go and kill it again. Maybe that would help me figure out what an incomplete beast soul is,” Han Sen thought to himself as he fished at Underworld Lake. Then he heard Bao’er’s voice shouting to him, interrupting his thoughts.
“Dad! I fished up the sheep head again,” Bao’er yelled as she pulled at the Underworld Silk.
Han Sen looked toward her and saw that she was indeed pulling the Four Sheep Cube toward her. Half of it was visible through the clouds of the lake.
Han Sen had gotten used to this happening. Bao’er frequently caught the Four Sheep Cube on the end of her line, but she was never able to bring it out of the lake.
Indeed, whenever the Four Sheep Cube was on the cusp of being pulled free of the lake’s surface, the Underworld Silk tended to snap. The Four Sheep Cube would sink below the white mists again.
After fishing it up so many times without actually being able to catch it, Bao’er was starting to get angry. As she watched the Four Sheep Cube again, waiting for the moment it fell back into the lake, she decided to try something new. With her free hand, she summoned her little gourd.
