I went to a house in the town and gently knocked on the door.

The door opened shortly. An old man wearing protective gear looked at me and Li Mazi with surprise. “Who are you looking for?”

“Excuse me, does Liu Laogen’s family live in Taiping Town?” I asked with a smile.

The man’s face changed. “Why do you want to see Liu Laogen?”

“Ah, we are his distant relatives. He called us to visit him and help him with some stuff here,” I answered.

The other looked pensive then said, “Oh. Several days ago, Liu Laogen brought his family and left Taiping Town. They haven’t returned. You should call him!”

Then, he closed the door. He didn’t give us a chance to continue the conversation.

Liu Laogen’s family has gone missing and they haven’t returned to this town... Where could they have gone? Were they really eaten by that horrible slime?

I decided to go...
