Chapter 89 Double Insurance

In Liu Yonglu's bedroom, he and Mi Li'er were staring at the mud ball that he had swept onto the table. Next to the mud ball was the bookmark that the donkey had given him.

Millie Tang scattered a circle of magic potions around the two things and observed them for another half an hour before moving a little closer.

Although Liu Yonglu had carried both items with him, especially the bookmark which had stayed in his pocket for two or three days, Millie Tang still made sufficient protective preparations for the sake of caution.

"Mi Li'er, hurry up, I have prepared all the ingredients, just waiting for you to cut a piece and bake it."

Liu Yonglu was urging him on.

Millie Tang rolled her eyes inwardly and first used her little finger to scrape off some debris from the mud ball. She kept it on her hand for two minutes to see if there were any adverse reactions, then she put it under her nose and smelled it.

This was the normal reaction a mystic should have. In Millie Tang's eyes, people like Liu Yonglu who picked up something and put it in their mouth were all crazy.

"Occult materials, yes. Mugwort, buckthorn, and maybe some mandrake. I don't know what creature's blood. These things have the function of sealing.

Mr. Rich, if I am not mistaken, there should be an ancient relic sealed in this mud ball."

Seeing no response after she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Liu Yonglu bringing the fire chopsticks from the fireplace.

"What are you going to do?"

"Move aside, I'm going to smash it. It's not sealed. It's not convenient to carry such a big lump."

Millie Tang quickly stood between Liu Yonglu and the mud ball, holding her hands open to prevent him from passing.

"No, Mr. Richie. The ancient relics inside may be dangerous, so they are sealed with occult materials. We'd better not act rashly and bring it back to headquarters first."

"Well... what do you think? If we fill the tub with water and slowly scoop the mud into the water, will that work?"

"No."

"Then...if we find an open space, put the mud ball farther away, and chop it with stones, is that ok?"

"It seems... that doesn't work either."

The bad thing about Liu Yonglu is that he is too curious, especially since he had just obtained the blood of a saint, which aroused his addiction. When he heard that there were good things hidden in it, he felt itchy in his heart.

But Millie Tang was still stubborn and insisted on stopping Liu Yonglu. The more she tried to stop Liu Yonglu, the more uncomfortable he felt. He wished his eyes could see through things so he could just stare at the mud ball.

However, he had a serious reason why he wanted to open a blind box so much.

According to his plan, he would not return to Saint Dowdin City after going to the Sabine Forest. It would be bad luck to go back to the enemy base camp right after causing trouble. So he followed his old habit and traveled light, carrying important things with Token to watch the ceremony. After the trouble, he ran away in the opposite direction.

Millie Tang will definitely not care about this mud ball by then, and she will have to carry it herself. This thing is so round, where can she put it?

"Then look at that black piece of wood... It's made of wood, right? I'm thinking of drilling a hole underneath it. Do you think it's okay?"

"This thing... should be related to the gods, but I'm not sure if it's an ancient relic."

Millie Tang didn't respond to Liu Yonglu's words. She knew nothing about craftsmanship, but she really couldn't see through the black wood piece in front of her. So she picked it up and began to observe it in the sunlight.

“I have never seen this symbol before, but some of the lines show traces of carvings from the original southern continent. I will study it further when I return to the school library.

Millie Tang suddenly thought of something and turned around abruptly, just in time to see Liu Yonglu poking the mud ball with an iron chopstick, almost wearing off the outermost layer of skin of the mud ball.

"Mr. Ricky!"

Millie Tang threw the bookmark over and hit Liu Yonglu's hand, causing him to jump up. This little boy was quite strong.

"Aren't you going downstairs to eat? Hurry up, hurry up!"

Millie Tang was really impressed by Liu Yonglu and quickly pushed him out.

What did Liu Yonglu prepare? He prepared the puff pastry and egg liquid. He hadn't eaten egg tarts for several days and today happened to be Thursday, so he was craving for them.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant. Millie Tang was taking notes while examining the grave worm in her hand. She still hadn't figured out the relationship between the grave worm and the mass ceremony. She was still uneasy until she figured it out. "Eat it while it's hot. Try my cooking."

Liu Yonglu put on a big glove and placed the hot egg tarts on the table. Millie Tang was still doing the same thing, doing three things at once: eating, talking, and studying.

Liu Yonglu sat there talking with egg tart in his mouth.

"Mi Li'er, I just called Dora again. She's still alive and kicking. The boss of the Red Workshop has even assigned two janitors to her. I told her that I want to leave the house and we'll talk about it after four days.

Think about it, Token, this little BK, definitely can't block her for no reason. Protecting her would be the same as ruining the mass ceremony."

Millie Tang rarely looked up at Liu Yonglu and said, "Okay, even though he looks confused, I didn't expect he has some substance."

"Besides, don't we have a backup plan? We can throw the bug in your hand at the critical moment of their mass and then turn around and run.

If you ask me, let's order a carriage later. This is a serious matter. We are now doubly insured and it will definitely not go wrong."

Millie Tang felt that there was nothing wrong with her analysis, but when she looked at Liu Yonglu, she always felt uneasy.

“According to my inference, the step of using Dora as a sacrificial material should be the first stage of the mass, because it is all related to the Lord of the Star Sea.

And the tomb worms are materials that will only be used in the next stage..."

Millie Tang blew on the egg tart and analyzed it while eating, but she frowned after just two bites and covered her mouth with a napkin from the table.

"Is it tender? Did it burn your teeth? You have to break it apart and let it cool before eating it. Luckily I made you egg tarts. If you wanted sugar biscuits, you would have burned the back of your head."

"Mr. Ricky, there's something in the tart."

Millie Tang took out a piece of paper from her napkin, on which was written in small letters: "Meet at nine o'clock tonight."

"Did you let it go?"

"No, it's not a festival, why would I pack anything in it?"

Liu Yonglu was also very curious, so the two of them got together to study the note. There was nothing special about it. The paper was just a piece of sticky note that could be easily found at the hotel front desk, and the handwriting was unfamiliar to both of them.

"Gregory sent the support... They are quite capable. They hid the note in the egg tart without anyone noticing."

Millie Tang also agreed with Liu Yonglu's conclusion. If they really wanted to kill him, it would not be just hiding a note. It would be some rat poison. It seemed that the other party was a friend rather than an enemy.

After studying it, Liu Yonglu tore the note into pieces and put it on a plate.

He recalled that when he was preparing food in the kitchen, he was surrounded by hotel staff. Was this investigator mixed in with them? It seemed that Gregory really had some capable people under his command.

But the time is set, but what about the location? Where are we going to meet?
"Let's wait in the restaurant first. Maybe the other party is watching us somewhere in the restaurant right now."

……

In a dark room in the hotel where Liu Yonglu was staying, a man was standing in front of a mirror. He took off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest, and his body was covered with scars.

There were straight knife wounds that slightly lifted the skin, large oval dark brown burns, and even some sesame-sized rash-like scars that looked like they were caused by some insect bite.

The man gently peeled off the flesh-colored mask covering his face, and a face that was originally extremely handsome appeared in the mirror. The reason why it was originally handsome was because the dense scars on his face had ruined this face beyond recognition.

He turned on the tap and pulled out a dagger from his boot, splashing water on his face while shaving with the dagger.

The splashing water hit the bathroom glass, and gradually the water droplets seeped inward, causing ripples.

And under the ripples, a bloody figure appeared in the mirror.
