Said to be a happy date.
In fact, there was no date at all, and it was not happy at all.
From morning till afternoon, Huai Shi didn't have a moment of leisure.
Starting from 7:30 in the morning, suburban park, then 9 o'clock in the East District Square, 11 o'clock in the South Lane Commercial Street, 1 o'clock in the New Sea Amusement Park, 3 o'clock in the North Suburb Qinghe Rowing, 4 o'clock in the afternoon, walking through the entire New Sea and running to the dock area, and then at 5 o'clock, he ran to the People's Cemetery in the east, and finally at 7 o'clock, Huai Shi returned to the city.
Even with a car, he still felt like he was going to die.
Not from exhaustion, but from being dragged to death by Crow.
What kind of mental illness would make someone run this kind of marathon for no reason?
It's himself.
He actually believed naively that Crow was just talking nonsense and had actually found some clues to investigate with him, but it turned out that she just wanted to play with him.
After a day of shopping, she even bought a silver birdcage with a mother-of-pearl inlay in the flower and bird market near the South Lane!
Damn birdcage.
Is there any bird in the world that buys a cage for itself?
Huai Shi didn't know if she was a woman, but she definitely wasn't just a crow—where else would a crow drink half a case of beer every day and have a bucket of KFC for supper?
Fortunately, New Sea is not a big place, and he can finish shopping in one day. Otherwise, Huai Shi feels like he would have to shop until tomorrow afternoon and not even go to school.

He just wants to know what medicine she's selling in this birdcage.
"This is a date, young man."
Crow looked happily at the surroundings, "Although it's tiring, you should enjoy this process. Come, think back on this fulfilling day and tell me, are you happy?"
Huai Shi lifted the birdcage expressionlessly and looked at her, "What do you think?"
"I guess you're not happy at all—this is the consequence of not planning the date in advance." Crow looked at him with pity, "But don't worry, as long as I'm happy!"
Just before Huai Shi completely lost his motivation, he felt the vibration from the Book of Destiny again.
He looked up in astonishment, and together with Crow, he looked at the bustling building in front of him.
Now it can be confirmed that what resonates with the Book of Destiny is in that building.
Crow shook her head and sighed, "I can only say that your luck is really bad. You've been following clues all day, and now you've finally found the place."
"I think it must be because one of us is more unusual."
Huai Shi glanced at the dark Crow, then stuffed the birdcage into his backpack, and Crow skillfully transformed into an invisible shadow standing on his shoulder, commanding like a Gundam.
"Then let's go, Africa Star."
She whistled happily, "Let's see what's waiting for us!"
In fact, the building was quite ordinary.
Part of it was office buildings, part of it was hotels, and part of it was ordinary shopping malls. After all, shopping malls like Wanda Plaza are common all over the world, and those American businessmen are everywhere.
In addition to the open shopping mall on the lower level, the top floor of Wanda Hotel is also one of the few five-star hotels in the city.
It is already considered a high-end place in New Sea.
If it were before, Huai Shi might not even dare to come here and just look at the price tags outside the shop windows.
But now it's different, after all, his wallet is full, and his identity seems to have changed. He has inflated to the point where he feels he can go inside and take a closer look...
With the idea of not being afraid, let's just take a look, Huai Shi walked into the mall, passing by the first floor cosmetics, the second floor women's clothing, the third floor electronics, the fourth floor men's clothing, the fifth floor restaurant, and so on.
At first, Huai Shi was quite nervous, constantly looking around to try to find something unusual, but in the end, the Book of Destiny didn't move at all. He had already started to brush his friends' moments and liked the selfies of Liu Dongli, that show-off, in London.
That guy...he's good at pretending to be polite when he's pretending, but when he really leaves, he doesn't even bother to say goodbye. It made Huai Shi's prepared luxury version of the overlord gift useless, and it smashed in his hand. Now he can only use it himself.
As a result, his nutrition has nowhere to go these days. In addition to the fat on his stomach, his hair has also grown crazy...
"It's here."
While strolling casually, Crow suddenly spoke up.
Huai Shi looked up and found that he had already reached the top floor of the mall. Only the gym, cinema, or larger furniture stores would be located here.
When he followed Crow's gaze, he saw that behind the cinema, there was a shop window of a store, and with the good vision of a Sublimator, he could distinguish the exquisite items placed on the shelves.
It seemed to be an antique shop.
The things placed on the shelves have been around for some time, even the cabinets themselves are intricately carved antique furniture.
Whether it was a copper vase, silver cutlery, a gemstone music box, or bone china tableware, they all seemed to reflect the brilliance of money, making Huai Shi feel suffocated.
"Can't you be more courageous? It's just a bunch of old furniture." Crow glanced at this coward.
Huai Shi couldn't believe it, "Are you sure it's in there?"
"If you don't believe it, take the Book of Destiny closer and see, the reaction will be strong." Crow said, "But I don't recommend you to do that. After all, when the Book of Destiny reacts, the things inside will probably also sense it. Be careful not to startle the snake."
"What's going on?" Huai Shi asked.
"You'll know when you see it."
Crow smiled cunningly and sold the suspense, "I'll go in and find out what's going on."
After speaking, she dissipated into a dark dust, quickly blending into the air, and disappeared except for the phantom that only Huai Shi could see. After all, most of her body, apart from the main body that branches into events, is a special alchemical ink that can adjust her color at any time to achieve optical invisibility. Moreover, she is almost non-existent, and can turn into a gray mist at any time. It can be said that she is quite suitable for infiltration.Huai Shi wasn't foolish enough to stand conspicuously in place, so he turned a corner and entered a movie theater. After casually buying a ticket, he sat in the back row with popcorn and soda, happily waiting for the movie to start.
However, just as the dragon logo flew across the screen, his vision darkened. He felt a new record being forcibly stuffed into his brain from the Book of Destiny.
It was Crow.
Through her connection with the Book of Destiny, she was able to share what she was seeing directly with Huai Shi.
At this moment, Crow had already slipped past the front desk and store, quietly entering their storage room.
The first thing she saw was a large iron door comparable to a bank vault, and two guards sitting in front of it.
Huai Shi was taken aback, "Such tight security for a mere antique shop?"
"If it were just an antique shop, it wouldn't be like this. But this is probably the vault of Wanli Plaza itself. Don't forget about all the companies and the large hotel upstairs. Valuable items must be centrally stored," Crow calmly explained. "Moreover, the Wanli Group is currently preparing to enter the realm market. It seems they have fully spread their business. This shop will definitely be converted into a place that secretly provides services to Sublimators. When I just came in, I even saw an auction house under renovation. There might be an auction here too."
"The Wanli Group is also involved with the border?"
"Which of the giants on Wall Street of America isn't involved with the border? Moreover, Wanli is a large group at the border, monopolizing several large borders and frontline hells' resources. Whether it's source material crystals, border relics, or potions, you can find them all in their market."
Crow turned into smoke and slowly seeped into the vault door, speaking unhurriedly, "It wouldn't be surprising if something related to the Book of Destiny appeared."
Huai Shi tapped the cover of the Book of Destiny in his hand, flipping it over and over, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this thing part of a set?"
"Could you please show some respect for the former Heaven?" Crow sighed, "That's where countless wills ended up after they perished, gathering all the value of life."
"I seem to have heard the name 'Heaven' somewhere?"
Huai Shi scratched his head, "Does Heaven really exist in this world?"
"That depends on what your idea of Heaven is."
"The world after death?" Huai Shi tentatively asked.
"Haven't you seen so many hells already?" Crow countered, "Isn't it clear whether the world after death exists?"
"No, in the eyes of ordinary people, hell is often the place where bad people go after they die, right? Aren't good people supposed to bathe their souls in holy light, grow a pair of white wings, and fly to the clouds to sing hymns around God?"
"More like dirges. These days, gods are almost extinct. Where would they find the time to listen to songs?"
Crow scoffed, "Just as bad people don't go to hell, Huai Shi, good people can't go to heaven either. After death, consciousness will dissipate along with all source material, and after a long cycle, it will return to the Silver Sea and be sprinkled onto the world again.
From beginning to end, Heaven is nothing more than an illusion. There is no such gentle place in this world."
At this point, Crow couldn't help but sigh, as if filled with emotion, "No matter how cunningly humans pursue miracles, in the end, all they get are mere shadows on the ground.
And so-called Heaven is such a product."
"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.
"Well, since we still have some time, let's talk about some forgotten past."
Crow laughed softly, as if mocking, yet also reminiscing, "Several eras ago, the Astronomical Society ambitiously topped many plans. With the nearly infinite resources obtained from exploring hell, they achieved many miracles. It was as if they held divine power, even capable of recreating the world.
Even when the gods were alive, they never reached such a peak. It was truly a glorious era... And Heaven was a product of the Astronomical Society at its peak before its decline."
