The End Times as a Song

Chapter 262 Missing

After Lin Yin finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the house without the slightest hesitation.

"Sister...! Do you believe it?" Xiong Xi saw Lin Yin leave and noticed the disappointment and sorrow on Huan Rugo's face. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you believe he killed Ran's mother?"

"This is no longer a question of whether I believe it or not. He admitted it himself, how can I not believe him...?" Huan Rugo walked toward Xiao Yuanran in a daze, looking lost and dejected.

"Sister...!" Xiong Xi called out with great concern, his voice filled with anxiety and unease. However, Huan Rugo ignored him, seemingly completely absorbed in her own thoughts.

Huan Rugo sat blankly beside Xiao Yuanran's bed, her eyes vacant and lifeless. Her heart ached as if it were being torn to shreds. Tears streamed silently down her pale cheeks. She gripped Xiao Yuanran's cold hand tightly, lost in endless memories.

"Mother, don't worry. If Lin Yin really killed you, I will definitely kill him to avenge you!" Huan Rugo thought to herself, gritting her teeth and making a silent vow. Her eyes flashed with determination and resolve.

"Sister, what should we do now? What about Mother Ran's funeral arrangements? We can't just keep her lying in this room!" Although Xiong Xi couldn't bear it, he still interrupted Huan Rugo's thoughts, his voice filled with helplessness and confusion. He stood aside, looking at Huan Rugo, unsure of what to do next.

Huan Rugo slowly raised her head, looking at Xiong Xi, a trace of pain and helplessness flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the grief in her heart.

Huan Rugo stood up: "Xiong Xi, you're right...! We can't just lie here like this forever, following the funeral rites of the human race. We need to be laid to rest eventually. You have to help me."

Hearing this, Xiong Xi felt a heaviness in her heart. She gritted her teeth, nodded, and said, "Okay, sister, I will do my best to arrange everything. However, sister, I am a demon and don't know much about human affairs."

Huan Rugo sighed softly, completely understanding. She patted Xiong Xi on the shoulder and said, "That's true, it's a bit difficult for you... But are there really no survivors in the village?" Her gaze swept around, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.

Xiong Xi shook his head and replied in a low voice, "Sister, so far no one else has been found...! Most of the corpses are the men in black, Uncle Zhe, Sister Lan, and Brother Lu. Their whereabouts are unknown."

Huan Rugo frowned, a sense of unease rising within her. The disappearance of these people filled her with doubt and worry. She didn't know if they were still alive, nor where they had gone.

After a moment of silence, Huan Rugo said firmly, "We need to see them alive or dead. No matter what, we must find out what happened here. Xiong Xi, continue searching for clues and see if you can find their whereabouts."

Xiong Xi nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. He resolved to do everything in his power to help Huan Rugo find the missing villagers: "Sister, I'll go and gather information first."

"Mmm...! Okay...! Thank you for your hard work...!"

"No, it's what I should do...! Don't forget, I'm also a member of Fangcao Village. If there's anything, just let Xiong Xi do it. Don't be so polite to me, I'm not used to it." Xiong Xi suddenly felt that Huan Rugo was being distant with him, so he quickly seized the opportunity to show that he was also a member of the village, and he didn't want to see a listless Huan Rugo.

Huan Rugo thought for a moment and said to Xiong Xi, "Okay, then you can go down first! Let me keep my mother company in peace."

"Okay...!" Xiong Xi nodded, turned and left the room.
