This Familiar Voice

"I don't know where Lu Jingren is. This ice didn't come from me as well. I'm a fire ability user." Lilian Mo emphasized her point by making the air around her hotter, causing some of the ice to melt into water, turning into little puddles on the ground.

"I believe you, Little Sister Mo." Mu Qianmo was filled with relief. He knew her. Lilian Mo wouldn't lie over something like this. He was suddenly thankful that both Fu Yangzhu and Mizuki Rei were both passed out, otherwise, these two would clearly make a big deal out of this.

"You believe her but then who made this ice appear here? It's also suspicious that she was standing at the center of it all."

Mu Qianmo was somehow finding Nathan Yang to be quite a headache. This guy notices a lot of things and points them out shamelessly without reserve.

"Heh, don't make that face. I was kidding. It could be anyone from the crowd. There are some ability users and perhaps they were playing a prank on you. Ignore them for now and let's go." Nathan Yang moved on very quickly but he paid more attention to his surrounding area this time.

So the other member was a man named Lu Jingren and was also an ice ability user. He thought that the name was a bit familiar but he couldn't remember at the moment. Maybe if he sees the man in person, he would remember things.

Their group arrived at the front of a clinic that was secluded from the other housing area.

"This doesn't look like a clinic. This looks more like a mortuary."

"Momo, this place doesn't look good at all."

"Big sister Mo, my brother is a doctor and I've been to his clinic many times. This one definitely does not look like a clinic!"

Mu Qianmo sighed. "I agree with Jiaojiao. Mr. Yang, what are your intentions for bringing us here?"

"Relax, relax. No need to get suspicious." Nathan Yang calmly raised his hands then, he approached the door and knocked loudly three times.

"Dr. Fang, your patients are here. Open up."

Lin Jiaojiao perked up. She became restless because there was no response from the other side of the door.

She couldn't help but pace around a bit. Zhang Youji let go of her hand. The big sister's mind was too chaotic at the moment and it only sounded noisy so he let go.

On the other side of the door, Lin Fang had just finished his operation. In the process, he even managed to extract a decent size crystal core from the head of the Scavenger. He figured that from its size and the energy he was feeling from it, it should be at least a Level three crystal core.

Then he looked at the bones of the body. Later, he would have to clean it up and send it to the Blue Section so they could use the parts to refine a weapon or two. Maybe they could even use it to make strong equipment or housing materials. Either way, these body parts were useful.

It's just, the meat, they weren't edible, at least not for common people.

What he found during his work was extremely good news for many people.

He must have been too engrossed in his findings because only now did he heard the continuous banging noise from his door.

"Everytime." He murmured, thinking that all his unwanted guests would always bang on his door as if they were trying to break it.

"Dr. Fang, how long are you going to keep your patients waiting? You don't have any professional ethics at all."

How annoying. Did he think that trying to guilt him using morality would work? Anyway, Lin Fang still approached the front door.

"How long are you going to keep your sister waiting?"

Just when Lin Fang was about to turn the handle open, he paused. Accompanied by his hunger and lack of sleep, his annoyance level spiked up after hearing Nathan Yang's voice.

He slammed the door open.

"Do you even know how careless your words are? My sister... She was already..."

"Big brother!"

Lin Fang froze. This familiar voice...

He slowly turned around but only felt something slam towards him, causing him to fall on the floor.

"Big brother! Big brother! Ahh... It's you... It's really you..!"

Lin Fang's eyes were wide. When someone is precious to you, even their voice alone is enough to make you recognize them from afar. What more if it was so close that it was right next to his ear? Lin Fang's eyes trembled. Indeed, this voice...

It was his...

"Jiaojiao?"

He couldn't see her face because she had buried it on his shoulder but he could hear her soft and delicate cries. At that moment, he felt completely taken aback. He didn't know what to do except hug her back because even without seeing her face, he knew her voice well.

And even the sound of her sobs and cries... These were things he was quite familiar with because he had raised her for the past few years alone. She was not only his sister, but she was also his precious family member.

"It's you... It's you. Jiao'er is really here. You're alive." Lin Fang couldn't explain the emotion he was feeling. He could only say that after seeing her, he felt alive again and his previously dead heart began to beat once more.

This was the joy of reuniting with a loved one after being separated for so long. When you are too overwhelmed from happiness, you can't help but cry your heart out as you hug them as tightly as possible, hoping that you aren't dreaming or hallucinating.

This was exactly what Lin Fang did.

He hugged his sister.

Then he fainted.
