245: Where is Baili Pangpang?

Lin Qi Ye and the others followed Uncle Chen to Baili Manor.

Bai Li Xin lived in an unassuming bungalow.

After Lin Qi Ye and the others got out of the car, Uncle Chen went to the door and knocked.

"Master, Captain Lin and the others have arrived."

"Please, quickly invite them in." A weak yet urgent voice came from inside the bungalow.

Uncle Chen nodded in agreement, then turned to Lin Qi Ye and the others, saying, "Captain Lin, please come in. The master is waiting for you inside."

Lin Qi Ye and the others entered the bungalow and found the interior decor surprisingly simple.

There were no extravagant decorations as they had imagined; besides a bed and a table, the walls were covered with photos of Bai Li Pang Pang and Baili Jing.

In the center of the wall hung a striking map of Daxia, covered with colorful circles.

Some of the circles had the character "Jing" written inside, while others had "Ming."

However, it was clear that there were more "Ming" characters on the map.

As soon as Lin Qi Ye and the others entered, their attention was drawn to the map.

Bai Li Xin, with his graying hair and pale complexion, forced a smile when he saw them enter.

"Please have a seat. I am unwell, so I ask Captain Lin and the others to bear with me."

"Mr. Bai Li, you are too kind," Lin Qi Ye said. "Actually, we are being presumptuous, but this is indeed a critical time."

Bai Li Xin nodded and said, "Captain Lin, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask directly."

"On that day, Bai Li Pang Pang encountered trouble in Fengdu Ghost City, but he was wearing a longevity lock. I want to know, can this Forbidden Territory truly withstand an attack from a Heavenly God?" Lin Qi Ye asked.

"Yes," Bai Li Xin said. "Although the function of this Forbidden Territory was developed by imitating the Forbidden Territory 'Return to Heaven,'

the Materials used are all from ancient ruins, especially that piece of genuine 'Return to Heaven God Jade' fragment inside.

This is also why I am confident in the efficacy of this item."

Hearing Bai Li Xin's description, Lin Qi Ye finally felt a little relieved.

"Since that's the case, Bai Li Pang Pang should not be in mortal danger, but why did the longevity lock disappear with Bai Li Pang Pang after it was activated?"

At this point, a hint of loss flashed in Bai Li Xin's eyes.

"Because after the longevity lock is activated, it can not only withstand fatal attacks but also take the user away from the battlefield.

Another function of this Forbidden Territory is that, once activated, it can transport the user to the safest place they perceive."

Bai Li Xin sighed, "My original intention was that if Tu Ming encountered trouble, he could be transported back to Baili Manor via the longevity lock.

But now it seems Baili Manor is not the safest place in his mind.

I am a negligent father; I've made Captain Lin laugh."

Lin Qi Ye frowned. As expected, the longevity lock had another function.

But, the safest place in Bai Li Pang Pang's memory was not his own home?

Lin Qi Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you have any guesses about Pang Pang's teleportation location?"

Bai Li Xin showed a bitter smile. "This child has loved to play since he was young; he's been to too many places.

I've searched every possible place in Guangshen City.

Initially, I thought this child would consider the Night Watcher 010 Team as the safest place, but he wasn't there either.

The reason I asked Old Chen to rush and find you all was to see if we could brainstorm and collectively find Pang Pang's whereabouts.

The longevity lock can save lives, but it has no healing effect. If he is seriously injured, delaying could very likely put his life in danger."

After hearing Bai Li Xin's words, Lin Qi Ye and the others also fell into thought.

Since Bai Li Pang Pang's whereabouts couldn't be found in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, where would he consider the safest place?

Lin Qi Ye thought and thought, then suddenly glanced at the map on the wall again.

He asked, "Mr. Bai Li, what is this map?"

"Oh!" Bai Li Xin's face rarely showed a hint of a smile when he heard Lin Qi Ye ask about the map.

"These are the places Tu Ming and Jing have visited.

Every time I see this map and the paths they've walked, I think that one day when I retire,

I must have them take me to revisit all these places."

As Lin Qi Ye listened to Bai Li Xin's words, a flash of lightning suddenly struck his mind.

His gaze was fixed on an inconspicuous red circle on the map; the location outlined there was Cangnan.

Every moment Lin Qi Ye spent with Bai Li Pang Pang flashed through his mind.

Their first encounter was at the Cangnan Training Camp.

Cao Yuan was there, Shen Qingzhu was there, and so was the girl he liked most, Molly.

Adding to that were the Night Watcher instructors and the experiences they shared facing crises together.

Could Bai Li Pang Pang consider Cangnan the safest place?

Looking at Lin Qi Ye, who was lost in thought, Bai Li Xin asked in confusion,

"Captain Lin, do you have a clue?"

"Mr. Bai Li," Lin Qi Ye walked to the map and pointed to the location of Cangnan, saying, "Have you ever considered that Bai Li Pang Pang might have been transported to this place?"

Bai Li Xin looked at the red circle on the map and suddenly had a realization.

"Cangnan, it's Cangnan, it must be Cangnan. That's where Tu Ming attended the Training Camp."

Bai Li Xin looked at the map excitedly, his body trembling uncontrollably. "Cough, cough!"

Hearing Bai Li Xin's cough, Uncle Chen quickly rushed to the bedside and softly asked, "Master, please take care of your health; don't get too agitated."

Bai Li Xin pushed Uncle Chen away. "Tu Ming's whereabouts are the most important thing right now."

He looked at Lin Qi Ye with sincere eyes, with a hint of pleading in his gaze. "Captain Lin, I beg you, you must bring Tu Ming back."

Lin Qi Ye quickly said, "Mr. Bai Li, your health is important. Leave Pang Pang's matter to us."

Bai Li Xin nodded gratefully, then said to Uncle Chen, "Quickly take Captain Lin and the others to the Forbidden Territory Pavilion. As long as it's below the ultra-high risk sequence, each person can choose two, whatever they like."

Lin Qi Ye quickly refused, "Mr. Bai Li, we didn't come for the Forbidden Territory..."

"Captain Lin," Bai Li Xin interrupted Lin Qi Ye, "I know you and Tu Ming have a good relationship, but unforeseen events can happen, and having two more Forbidden Territory for self-defense is a good thing.

This is a request from an old man like me; please do not refuse."

"Captain, just agree," An Qingyu, who had been standing by, spoke up.

"Haha, I didn't expect Vice Captain An to be such a man of character. Captain Lin, don't decline anymore," Bai Li Xin said with a happy laugh.

Hearing An Qingyu's words, Lin Qi Ye, though puzzled internally, still agreed.

"Since that's the case, we will respectfully accept."

"It's only right, it's only right." After Bai Li Xin finished speaking, he had Uncle Chen lead Lin Qi Ye and the others away to the Forbidden Territory Pavilion.
