The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 502 is all about desire.

Lin Xiyue sensed Ling Yan's seriousness, and she straightened up, listening intently to his words.

When she heard Lingyan's question clearly, her heart tightened.

This is indeed a crucial issue. If the practice of sacrifice can be abolished, then perhaps some unnecessary trouble and consequences can be avoided.

However, Lin Xiyue was unfamiliar with the magic arrays of the alien races, and she didn't know how to answer this question.

So she turned to look at Meros, who was sitting at the table, hoping he could give her an answer.

Meros sat there quietly, his expression barely changing, making it difficult to discern his thoughts.

Lin Xiyue looked at him, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if he would answer the question.

Lingyan also stared intently at Molos, eager to know the answer to a certain question.

"Meow~ Ugh—Awoo—"

"It's very simple. As long as they realize they're wrong, stop believing in him, and get rid of those things, there won't be any problems afterward."

Moros added a few words and casually said the question that Lingyan cared about most, which made Lingyan feel relieved.

"Mmm. And then?"

While sending Meros's words back to the psychic center via the terminal, Lingyan continued to press for answers, afraid of missing any important information.

"The others? Oh, you want to ask about the aftermath of the half-sacrifice, right? It's for him, isn't it?"

Lin Xiyue suddenly interrupted, clearly having been listening to the conversation between Molos and Lingyan.

As if remembering something, Lin Xiyue quickly pulled out a piece of paper from the top of the huge pile of documents.

She gently placed the paper on the table, showing it to both Meros and Lingyan.

What would you like to know about this?

Then, Lin Xiyue finally spoke up and asked.

"Hmm...that's right."

Lingyan saw this and responded expressionlessly.

His gaze fell on the page of documents Lin Xiyue had placed on the table, revealing a hint of helplessness.

The man on this page is utterly ordinary in appearance, name, and height, like a faceless passerby straight out of a comic book, who would not even cause a ripple in a crowd.

However, the description of this man's family background in the document is quite unusual.

This man's family background is quite extraordinary; he is the only son of a high-ranking leader, and this line of text is highlighted in red, clearly to emphasize his importance.

Originally, based solely on this point, Lingyan and the others wouldn't have made a special trip to save this man.

After all, there are many powerful and influential people in this world.

But the problem lies in the wish this man made during his sacrifice, or more precisely, in his almost insane ambition.

The documents clearly state that this man's wish is to replace his father and become the leader.

To achieve this goal, he was even willing to sacrifice his own wife and children, an act that is utterly outrageous.

Fortunately, every high-ranking official has a dedicated person skilled in such matters to protect their safety.

That's why, when the man sacrificed his wife and was about to harm his son, his actions were noticed and stopped in time.

As a result, the sacrificial ceremony was actually only halfway through before it was abruptly interrupted.

"Tsk, so that official's current situation is not very optimistic?"

Meros raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked with a half-smile.

Perhaps feeling that communicating with people in cat form was slightly inconvenient, he lightly leaped off the table.

In the blink of an eye, as if by magic, Meros's figure quickly transformed from a small, cute cat back into his human form.

Meros now rested his hands on the armrests of the chair Lin Xiyue was sitting on, his head slightly lowered, his gaze fixed intently on Lingyan, his deep eyes appearing even more mysterious and unpredictable in the dim light.

As Ling Yan was stared at like that by Molos, he felt a chill run down his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

"Uh... that high-ranking official is currently in a coma and unconscious. So, our top priority right now is to find a way to wake him up."

Lingyan composed himself, took a small step back to keep a certain distance from Meros, and then stammered out his explanation.

"Hmm... I see. Then tomorrow, take me to see him."

Upon hearing this, Meros remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before slowly speaking.

"Ok."

Ling Yan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly nodded in agreement.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Meros had finally agreed, and things should be resolved smoothly now.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Meros stared expressionlessly at Lingyan, who was still standing in the same spot. He raised one eyebrow and asked with a half-smile.

Upon hearing Molos's words, Lingyan snapped out of her daze.

He looked around blankly, then realized that everyone else in the huge room was an employee.

Even Hehelo, who came with him, had somehow become an employee here and had even started working diligently.

Lingyan's face flushed red, and he coughed awkwardly twice, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"Ah, cough cough cough... Well, I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

He said hurriedly, then turned and walked quickly toward the door like a startled rabbit.

Lingyan's pace was astonishingly fast, as if something terrifying was chasing him from behind.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared through the doorway like a gust of wind, leaving only the wind chimes that were violently shaking as he left, emitting a chaotic yet crisp sound that echoed in the air.

"Ah, where is Mr. Lingyan? Why did he leave so suddenly?"

He Hailuo stared in astonishment at the empty store. She and An Qing had just returned from tidying up the warehouse when they discovered that Ling Yan, who had come with her, was gone. She couldn't help but ask him a question in confusion.

Heheluo's gaze fell on the constantly swaying wind chimes, and he became even more puzzled.

She looked around and realized that Lingyan really hadn't said goodbye to her before leaving.

"He...he had an urgent matter and went back first, so you can focus on your work."

Hearing Hero's question, Meros, who was busy with something nearby, looked up and smiled at her.

He Hailu nodded. Although he had some doubts, he quickly adjusted his mindset and got into work mode.

After all, the work has already started, and Lin Xiyue has given her such a generous job, so she definitely has to take it seriously, especially since this is only her first day on the job.
