I swallowed. She...actually did that? Could this really be, as Su Xiaoniu said, a shadow hidden deep within Xuanxuan's heart? I asked curiously, "Does the police know you're doing this to your mother?"

"Police? Hehehe~hahaha~" Xuanxuan laughed slyly: "Brother Xu Fei, do you know what my favorite drink is?"

I shook my head. I had never noticed this before.

Xuanxuan licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue and said with a sly smile, "It's the blood on their bodies."

I stumbled with fear, nearly falling to the ground. Damn, what on earth could have motivated this Xuanxuan to not only kill her mother and keep her head as a souvenir, but even more incredible, she'd actually killed the police officers investigating the case as well? And then drank their blood?

My three views were completely destroyed, and my perception of Xuanxuan was also overturned.

"Xuanxuan... do you know that you have made a big mistake? If other policemen knew about this, you would not only be imprisoned, but you might be shot directly. If you died, what would happen to your father? And Uncle Zhang, they all loved you so much, how could you..." The more I spoke, the more I felt like I was disappointed in you.

However, Xuanxuan didn't care. She grinned and said, "Brother Xu Fei, do you think I did something wrong?"

"Yes, you did it wrong." I nodded decisively.

"Then why did I do something wrong? Why?" Xuanxuan suddenly burst into tears: "If Mom didn't divorce me, if she didn't leave me, I wouldn't do this. Why did she divorce Dad? Didn't she ever consider my feelings? - But speaking of it, those policemen were cowards. I asked Mom to go out and scare them away, but they were all scared to death. After I cleaned up their bodies, many policemen came to investigate, and then they were either scared to death by Mom or scared away. From then on, no one dared to come and take care of my business anymore. The house where Mom lived has also become a "haunted house."

Why do I feel speechless?

While it's certainly deplorable for parents to divorce without regard for their children's feelings, killing someone for it seems a bit extreme. I still admire Xuanxuan's courage, but...why haven't I heard Zhang Haitao and Uncle Zhang mention this before? Xuanxuan hasn't told me either. Am I just too indifferent to their family affairs? That's why I'm completely clueless about Xuanxuan's situation.

"Brother Xu Fei, now that I've told you my story, will you still treat me as your sister like before?" Xuanxuan looked at me pitifully, with traces of tears still lingering in her big watery eyes.

I took a deep breath. "Xuanxuan, no matter whether you did something right or wrong, you will always be my sister. And my responsibility as your brother is to guide you away from the wrong path. - Let's not talk about the past. Now, please wake up quickly and let's leave here, okay?"

"Brother Xu Fei is the best!" Xuan Xuan happily threw herself into my arms, then asked curiously, "But I don't want to leave here, and I don't want you to leave either. Brother Xu Fei, can we stay here forever?"

I shook my head and said, "No, we have to leave. If you stay here any longer, I don't know what you will become. What's more, this is just an illusion in the Ghost Gate Bagua Escape, it doesn't really exist. You can't live in an illusion forever, right?"

"As long as my mother and Brother Xu Fei are with me, I would be happy even if I live in an illusion for the rest of my life." Xuanxuan smiled innocently.

I……

I shook my head. It was really hard to guess what a young girl was thinking. I grabbed her hand and walked out of the kitchen, saying, "No, no, no! I have to take you away."

"Brother Xu Fei!" Xuanxuan suddenly broke free from my hand and took two steps back. Her previously happy face now became uncertain. "If you insist on leaving, I can only make you become like your mother. I will make you stay by my side forever and never betray my will again. As long as I want you to, you must obey. Only I can control you. I am the supreme being!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a blood-red light suddenly burst out from her body, and her pupils turned even redder. The tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes ran across her cheeks and turned into blood the moment they dripped onto the ground.
