Aunt Nian had to keep her girlfriends company, so Qin Tan went to find that woman.

The woman referred to herself as Sister Meng.

After arriving at the designated waiting area, Qin Tan discovered that there were several other people present.

Five people, three women and two men.

Uncle Shui was also there.

The two pretended to be strangers.

Soon Sister Meng appeared, accompanied by several people.

Why are there so many people?

"Didn't we say we couldn't tell anyone else about this?"

"You guys aren't scammers, are you?"

One of the girls asked, her face showing a hint of suspicion.

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Look here, you can see the difference by comparing my medical records before and after."

Among this group, Sister Meng seemed to be the leader. She chuckled, not flustered at all, and produced the evidence.

The data is authentic; the transformation from a dying person to someone whose various indicators are now trending towards health enhances its credibility.

"When will you go?"

The woman was still somewhat skeptical, but seeing that she had so many companions with her, she felt reassured.

"Let's go now."

Sister Meng gestured for people to get into the car.

A large van with plenty of seating.

Qin Tan sat in the back seat, right next to the girl who had just questioned him.

The other person's name was Min An'an, and the two were about the same age.

On the way, Sister Meng kept telling everyone how amazing that "deity" was.

She showered him with compliments, while her other companions chimed in with their own jokes.

The drive isn't long.

The vehicle eventually stopped outside an unfinished building.

"Why is this place so desolate? You're not some bad people, are you?"

Min An'an peeked out and asked.

"No way."

"If you think it's fake, you can leave now, or you can call the police."

"But you guys definitely won't get a chance to have this good thing later on."

Sister Meng spoke with grace and poise.

"When a deity casts a spell, the commotion must be huge. This place is good for getting things done."

That makes sense, with Min An An Zhui following at the end.

After entering the abandoned first floor, Qin Tan discovered that there were other people there.

There are at least several hundred people.

It seems that people from other places have also been lured here.

This number alerted Qin Tan.

She also spotted Lin Zhisui and Ye Jingjing in the crowd.

The group exchanged glances, then parted ways as if nothing had happened, tacitly avoiding recognizing each other.

"Everyone, wait here. I'll go upstairs and ask someone for help."

Sister Meng was shouting through a small megaphone.

"Don't worry."

"The reason I've brought everyone here today is that I'm sure it will help you achieve your goals."

Sister Meng gestured for the others to tell everyone about the miracles, while she herself went upstairs.

Those who preached it, and those who were summoned today, are all listening.

Some were very vigilant, their eyes scanning the surroundings.

The unfinished building, which was once empty, is now crowded with people, and all sorts of sounds fill the space.

Qin Tan stood by the window.

It's only the beginning of autumn, but the lingering heat of late summer is still intense.

The grass outside was not yet withered or yellow, and there were no insects chirping in the waist-high grass.

Something is amiss.

On the bracelet, Lin Zhisui had already reported the situation here, while Manny was providing support from outside.

Manny replied that Captain Xia Shuang was also on her way.

They suspected that a cult-like event, such as a sacrifice, was taking place there.

"Hey everyone, if you're hungry, there's candy here."

An elderly man was carrying a plate as he walked through the crowd.

It's a type of brittle candy, white and smells very sweet.

Some people, without suspecting anything, ate it and even said it tasted good.

Qin Tan also took one, unwrapped it in front of the old man, and put it in her mouth.

As expected, I saw a satisfied look in the old man's eyes.

After the other person left, Qin Tan opened her hand, and there it was—the piece of candy.

Qin Tan changed position, using the person in front of her to block her view, and then crushed the candy.

The fragments were spread out in his palm, and among them, Qin Tan found a soft-shelled insect egg.

It is 【子蛊】.

Just then, Qin Tan saw Min An'an about to put the candy in her mouth. She walked over, and with a sway of her body, knocked the candy to the ground.

"Feel sorry."

She apologized.

"Never mind, it's just a piece of candy."

Min Shengsheng wasn't angry; instead, he looked at Qin Tan with curiosity.

What brought you here?

"I've heard that the 'gods' here can grant any wish."

As he spoke, Minsheng lifted his long sleeves, revealing the prosthetic leg underneath.

Meeting Qin Tan's surprised gaze, Min Sheng smiled.

“I was in a serious car accident before, and one of my arms and one leg were ruined. I had to replace them with prosthetics.”

"Not only has my life been affected, but I've also been left with many long-term health problems."

"And there's also phantom limb pain."

“Every time I’m in pain, I want to die.”

On the other arm, the sleeve was still firmly covered, and through the gap, Qin Tan could see an old scar.

"I came here hoping that the god could cure my phantom limb pain."

"Is this wish really that small?"

Minsheng's tone was cheerful, but if you looked closely into his eyes, you could see the huge, turbulent emotions beneath.

"I was also in a car accident."

Qin Tan continued, subtly observing the people around her, and noticed that not everyone had eaten the candy.

There are still quite a few people who are wary.

"I was in a coma for a year after that car accident before I woke up, and both my parents died in the accident."

"I came here to see my parents, even if it's the last time."

Long eyelashes concealed the sadness in Qin Tan's eyes.
