Chapter 1,197: Abnormal Situation

ing against the suction, he was utterly unable to dodge the incoming liquid!"Zzzt!"The next second, Jack's face was struck by the black goo and instantly melted away!The moment the black ooze touched...Is Bai Konggu gone

Fang Yu frowned slightly and asked, "When did this happen"

"Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, he left the Celestial Observation Bureau and hasn't returned since," Violet said. "None of his subordinates could get in touch with him."

"Yesterday afternoon... to today, it's only been a day," Fang Yu said. "Disappearing for a day or two is quite normal, right"

"I think that's normal too," said Violet. "But his subordinates are very anxious, they say it's rare for them to be unable to contact Bai Konggu."

Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Very anxious"

"Yes, they said... that they noticed something was wrong with Bai Konggu before they left." Violet replied.

Something is wrong...

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had last seen Bai Konggu.

So, he's not really sure about the current state of Baikonggu.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu stood up and said, "I'm going to the Sky-Gazing Bureau."

……

Half an hour later, Fang Yu and Violet arrived at the Observatory.

Dazhai was anxiously waiting in the courtyard where Bai Konggu often stayed.

Seeing Fang Yu appear, Da Wei was so excited that the flesh on his face trembled.

"Fang, Mr. Fang, I finally get to meet you…" Dà Wèi bowed and cupped his fists again.

"Let's cut to the chase," Fang Yu waved his hand, "I heard that you guys think Bai Konggu has been acting strange lately"

"...Well," Da Wei looked up, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said, "We did think something was off about him."

"In what way" Fang Yu asked.

"Everything about him is different now...his words and actions, his expressions, his eyes...even the tone of his voice. It's all very different from before," Da Wei said.

"What do you mean by different" Fang Yu pressed.

Da Wei frowned and said, “How do I put it… It’s hard to describe in words. But I’ve been following Lao Bai for almost twenty-five years as his subordinate. Within the Sky Peering Bureau, besides the late Lao Rao who unfortunately passed away... no one knows Lao Bai better than me.”

"It seems I'm making this hard to understand," Da Wei continued, "Bai Lao's eyes used to be brighter. Now... they seem a little hollow. And he used to come to our workplace often to give us guidance in person..."

But recently, he hasn't done so anymore, seeming to be unconcerned about the affairs within the Sky-Peering Bureau...

...but often sat alone in the yard, seeming to be lost in thought, and wouldn't let us near...

Fang Yu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What do you mean by 'recently' That is to say, when did you start feeling that something was wrong with Bai Konggu"

"When…" Da Wei recalled for a moment, then replied, "It seems like he started acting strange after the last time I met Mr. Fang…"

"When did you last see me" Fang Yu frowned.

"That time was when we informed you about the soul extermination... and then you left, after that... you didn't show up for ten days straight." Da Wei said, "It was also from then on that I felt something was wrong with Old Bai."

"Well... Are there others in the Sky Peeking Bureau who share your opinion" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes! Several!" Da Wei said, "I'll go get them right now."

After saying that, Da Wei ran out of the yard.

After a few minutes, he came back in with four men dressed in white robes.

As introduced by Da Wei, these four people are subordinates who frequently interacted with Bai Konggu in their daily lives.

And their four accounts were basically the same as Wei's.

Everything feels different about Bai Kong Valley compared to before.

And these aspects are all reflected in very subtle details, which most people unfamiliar with the Bai Konggu probably wouldn't notice.

Judging from what these people are saying, Bai Konggu... maybe there's something really wrong.

"When Bai Konggu left the Kui Tian Bureau yesterday, did he say anything to you" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes, I was just about to tell you that." Da Wei replied immediately.

"What do you think" Fang Yu asked.

Yesterday afternoon when Old Bai was leaving, I happened to meet him at the entrance of the courtyard. Dà Wèi said, "I was just about to report some matters to him, but he said we could talk about it later."

"At that time, Lao Bai had a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood."

Then I asked him where he was going. Lao Bai, while walking outside, answered me... he said he was going to meet some old fellows.

A few old men...

Fang Yu's eyes flickered.

"Actually, as far as I know, Lao Bai doesn't have many friends in Beidu... because he's not really a sociable person by nature," Da Wei said. "But this is just my guess, after all, Lao Bai wouldn't tell me everything."

After things started going wrong in Baikong Valley, what did he do” Fang Yu continued to ask.

"Well... actually, I didn't do much." Dàwèi stroked his chin, reminiscing. "During that time, Mì Líng got closer and closer to Beidu, and then he..."

The Great Wei revealed all the methods they used to deal with Bai Konggu's appearance and the extermination of spirits.

The Spirit Destroyer appeared, and Fang Yu was nowhere to be found... Then, the news was released, attempting to unite the cultivators of the Beidu Martial Arts world against the Spirit Destroyer.

These practices... don't really seem to pose too many issues.

"That's all" Fang Yu asked.

"Well, I've pretty much said everything I know," Da Wei replied.

Fang Yu nodded, glanced at Violet, and said, "Then we'll leave first."

"Dai Wei's expression changed, and he asked, “Mr. Fang, this…”

"I'll find a way to locate Bai Konggu and see what happened to him." Fang Yu said, "You guys just stay at the Sky-Peering Bureau. If Bai Konggu comes back, inform me."

"...Understood!" Da Wei replied.

Subsequently, Fang Yu and Violet left the Peeking Heaven Bureau together.

On the way back to the big house, Fang Yu kept thinking.

According to Da Wei, Bai Konggu has been different ever since their last meeting.

At that point in time... Fang Yu had just entered the Holy Academy.

He did not stay in the holy institution for long, but due to different laws of time, ten days had passed outside.

What's wrong with Baikong Valley

Based on what Da Wei and his four subordinates said, it's highly likely that Bai Konggu was possessed or had his mind controlled.

Both situations are pretty similar... In any case, the recent Bai Konggu is probably not Bai Konggu himself.

So, who will control Bai Konggu And what do they want to do

To consider this point, one must connect it to the identity of Bai Konggu.
