Qin Tan, who is called a thief, has no idea what he has stolen.

She moved away from that eyeball.

While checking the bracelet, I discovered that it also contained Wei Xiao's latest news.

"Don't hesitate to ask if you need help."

Upon seeing this message, Qin Tan wanted to reply, but she quickly realized that the bracelet's function was affected by an unknown force and could not be used.

For the first time, the things created by Li Mingshu have become useless.

Qin Tan could only put aside her worries and treat the things in front of her with caution.

Those eyeballs looked eerie and dangerous.

Its entire body is flesh-colored, but black feathers grow out from its patterns, making it look like an oversized crow.

The pupils were black, but upon closer inspection, streaks of crimson could be seen moving within them.

It looks like a chain.

As Qin Tan was on guard against the opponent's attack methods, his vision suddenly blurred.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already walked up to the eyeball.

This change horrified Qin Tan.

She had no idea what was happening.

Qin Tan tried to regain control of her body and retreat, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and she couldn't move.

She could only watch helplessly as the eyeball approached her.

The messy feathers on it touched her body.

She wanted to call out to the princess, but the princess was not by her side.

Was this also made from this thing in front of me?

Qin Tan calmed his anxiety and his mind raced.

"Thief".

Of all the delirious ramblings, only this one sentence was truly clear.

Qin Tan had a crazy idea: that all those chaotic babblings were making way for the "master" who uttered those words.

That kind of oppression from those in power also descended upon Qin Tan.

She was powerless to resist this strange phenomenon.

When she clearly saw her own existence in that eyeball, the world was plunged into darkness.

She seemed to have fallen into an abyss.

At the bottom of this abyss lies a graveyard.

There are countless lonely graves; everywhere you look, there are graves.

The vegetation grew wildly.

On the withered tree, a flock of black crows perched.

The crows all had bright red eyes, and they cawed happily after Qin Tan appeared.

Perhaps they were celebrating Qin Tan's death.

Qin Tan pondered how to survive.

No, there isn't.

No matter which way she goes, she will always end up back where she started.

The same lonely grave, the same crows.

Even in a place that seemed safe, Qin Tan could sense the changes within herself.

It is alienation.

She is syncing with the environment here.

Her intuition told her that if she continued to stay here, her soul would remain here forever.

Yes, the soul.

What arrived here was not her true form.

So what will happen to my physical body outside of that time?

Occupy!

Qin Tan thought about the plans of the Abyss Church.

They sought the body of God to receive the divine descent, and their own bodies were used as vessels.

This whole situation was set against us from the very beginning.

This realization came too late.

Qin Tan tried her best to find a way to break through the predicament.

Here, his power was completely suppressed, and the princess and the Grim Reaper's scythe were nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, she was just an ordinary person.

This perception is cruel.

But being anxious wasn't the solution. Once she calmed down completely, she realized that she couldn't sense any hostility from the people there.

Although there were many graves, no evil spirits crawled out.

The crows cawed incessantly, but none attacked him. Instead, they watched from the high, withered tree as he did his futile work.

Those crows are very intelligent.

Perhaps the key to breaking the deadlock lies with these crows.

Qin Tan carefully observed the crows.

With their jet-black exteriors, abundant feathers, and crimson pupils, it's difficult to distinguish one crow from another based on appearance alone.

Its appearance is so perfect that it's hard to find any clues.

Qin Tan remembered that in a book she had read, crows were described as an ominous creature.

When crows gather together, it signifies that someone has died in that place.

They are messengers of death, the embodiment of the devil.

She picked up a stick from the ground and threw it at one of the crows.

To her surprise, the crow did not move away.

When the stick touches the other party, the other party disperses like smoke, as if they never existed.

She tried several more times, but got the same result.

This development reminded Qin Tan of a game.

hide and seek!

"Do you want me to find out your true identity?"

Qin Tan murmured.

If that's the case, then it explains why these crows look the same.

After all, even identical twins with the same genes will have some individual differences.

As if agreeing with Qin Tan's guess, those wings began to cry again.

They are urging us on.

Qin Tan glanced at her other hand.

That arm is going numb.

This may represent the process of one's physical body being invaded.

She couldn't see what was happening outside, so she didn't know that her body and the eyeball were intertwined and gradually becoming one.

From the second-floor railing, the princess watched this scene without intervening.

The Grim Reaper's Scythe, lying on the ground, remained completely still, feigning death.

In the graveyard, Qin Tan had lost count of how many crows she had found.

The process from being able to move both arms to losing sensation in both arms was extremely rapid.

Now, she can only control her feet to move.
