Although a person in a vegetative state is in a deep sleep, their soul still exists; it's just that something has gone wrong with it.
However, Old Ghost and the other two had no souls in their bodies.
Had their souls been snatched away?
Ning Beichen frowned. This matter was far from simple.
"Beichen, have you discovered something?"
Auntie San, seeing Ning Beichen's furrowed brow, asked him anxiously.
"The problem is very serious. Their souls are all gone. Auntie San, where did they go before the incident, or did they see anyone?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
"I'm not very clear about that, but their families might know."
Auntie San replied.
"Alright, then we'll go ask their families."
Ning Beichen said resignedly.
"What about Old Ghost and the others?"
Auntie San said worriedly.
"In their current condition, they are no different from the dead. Let them stay here for now, or you can arrange for someone to send them to my place later."
Ning Beichen said to Auntie San.
"Okay, I'll have someone take them away later. I'm not at ease leaving them here."
Auntie San said.
"Mm, you arrange it then."
Ning Beichen nodded.
As Ning Beichen and Auntie San opened the ward door and walked out, they saw the doctor who had studied abroad, leading several security guards, striding aggressively towards them.
"It's them who were causing trouble here."
The foreign-trained doctor pointed at Ning Beichen and Auntie San and shouted loudly.
"Good! Daring to cause trouble under the nose of the great powers. I think you don't want to live anymore."
As a result, the security guards walked towards them menacingly and said to them.
"Auntie San."
Ning Beichen called out to Auntie San, too lazy to even glance at them, and walked straight past.
Seeing Ning Beichen's arrogance, how could these security guards tolerate it? They immediately pulled out their stun batons, intending to inflict severe pain on Ning Beichen.
However, before they could succeed, Auntie San grabbed them by the waist and, like a wrestler, flung them all away with brute force.
Auntie San's ferocity immediately stunned everyone. No one dared to step forward to stop them.
Ning Beichen and Auntie San left the hospital and first found Old Ghost's niece.
Old Ghost was unmarried, and his niece was his only relative in this place.
However, Old Ghost's niece seemed very distant from him, completely unconcerned about his affairs, and even less about his life or death. Ning Beichen and Auntie San could not get any information from her.
Helpless, they had to go find the relatives of A Qin and Old Niu.
A Qin had a wife, but they were divorced. The moment she heard A Qin's name, she said she didn't know and directly shut the door on Ning Beichen and Auntie San.
Finally, they found a daughter of Old Niu. This daughter had a normal relationship with Old Niu, and they learned some things from her.
About a month ago, her daughter heard Old Niu mention once that he was going to a place with some old friends to find something, and he had left her some living expenses.
"By the way, my dad also left me this. He said that if someone named Auntie San came looking for me, I should give this to her."
Following Old Niu's daughter, she took out a box woven from rattan from the room and handed it to Auntie San.
Auntie San opened the box, and inside were some money, a map, and a note.
The note instructed Auntie San that if anything happened to him, she should give the money in the box to his daughter.
The note also mentioned an address, and in the box, there was also a badge like the sun.
It seemed that the address was related to this sun badge.
Auntie San gave the money in the box to Old Niu's daughter, comforted her a few words, and then left with Ning Beichen, carrying the badge and the map.
Some things were inconvenient to say inside in front of Old Niu's daughter, so after they came out, Auntie San said to Ning Beichen with a furrowed brow.
"I think I've heard of this sun badge. It's said to be the badge of a mysterious organization. Could it be that Old Niu and the other two went looking for this organization and that's why they got into trouble?"
Auntie San said worriedly.
"Let me see the badge."
Ning Beichen said.
Auntie San handed the badge to Ning Beichen. Ning Beichen examined the badge and discovered that it contained a trace of evil power.
Although this power was very weak and hidden very deeply, it still couldn't escape Ning Beichen's senses.
"This badge is problematic. Leave it with me for now. Don't worry about what happens next. Go back and take good care of Old Niu and the others. I'll go to this address and meet them."
Ning Beichen said to Auntie San.
"Okay, Ning Beichen, be careful."
Auntie San said to Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, Auntie San still regarded Ning Beichen as the Ning Beichen of the past. Little did she know that in the eyes of the people in this world, the current Ning Beichen was already a legendary figure.
After parting ways with Auntie San, killing intent flickered in Ning Beichen's eyes.
No matter what kind of organization it was, if they dared to lay hands on his old friends, he, Ning Beichen, would not be polite.
The address was not too far from here, only two cities away. Ning Beichen directly transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky, then headed towards the address.
Approximately half an hour later, Ning Beichen arrived at his destination.
It was around 10 PM. Ning Beichen arrived at the address mentioned in the note and found that it was a bar located in a basement.
When Ning Beichen was about to enter, he was stopped by the people at the entrance, who told him that the bar had not yet opened for business and could only be entered after 12 AM, and that a badge was required for entry.
Ning Beichen did not force his way in. He waited outside until twelve o'clock, then presented the sun badge he held. Only then was he allowed to enter the bar.
At first glance, the interior of the bar was no different from an ordinary bar, but the atmosphere inside was somewhat strange.
Moreover, Ning Beichen sensed multiple evil powers emanating from within.
Ning Beichen activated his magical eyes and scanned the bar. He discovered that everyone in the bar possessed an evil power.
However, Ning Beichen could tell that they were not the culprits. It seemed that these people were also victims, not the ones causing trouble.
"What exactly is causing trouble?"
Ning Beichen walked around the bar, investigating.
Before long, Ning Beichen discovered a passage at the back of the bar, and a very strong evil aura was seeping out from within.
But as Ning Beichen was about to enter the passage, he was immediately stopped.
"I'm sorry, sir, you cannot enter here."
Ning Beichen naturally wouldn't listen to them. With a wave of his finger, he immobilized the person who stopped him and then swaggered in.
