Chapter 46 The Dying Boy

When Bu Ke heard the words "That's not up to you," he immediately told the two that they were in danger, and on his way there, he relayed the situation to the other two.

"We should have gone together. What if my sister gets eaten?" Bu Ke was so frightened by her own thoughts that she cried. Tears streamed down her face, distracting her from seeing where she was going, and she rudely wiped them away.

"Don't worry, both of them have amulets on their chests to ward off bad luck. They can withstand one fatal blow. There's still time," Han Mo comforted Bu Ke.

"Really? That's wonderful." Bu Ke breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“You all have them too, and I always give one to others.”

Why didn't you tell us beforehand?

"Some people don't believe it, and they get tired of explaining it too much."

The three arrived at the entrance to the valley.

"We have to sneak in."

"Use the grappling hook."

Bu Qing took out a grappling hook from his backpack and climbed over first.

Bu Ke followed closely behind, while Han Mo was a little slower, but he also managed to get over it successfully in the end.

Bu Ke continued listening to Yan Shi's report, while Bu Qing led the way based on Yan Shi's location. Han Mo walked along, placing talismans in hidden places along the way, or simply drawing one.

He could blow this place up if he needed to.

Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao were thrown into a cave and locked up. Zhuang Zhao had already fainted, and Yan Shi, in a daze, thought he would also lose consciousness, but unexpectedly, after lying there for a while, he could move his hands and feet again.

He's clear-headed, able to speak and move, so what was the effect of that injection? Temporary paralysis?

He nudged Zhuang Zhao, but seeing that he showed no sign of waking up, he decided to contact Bu Ke and the others first. His cell phone had no signal, but thankfully the communicator worked. He connected to a Bluetooth headset and called Bu Ke.

Bu Ke was finally at ease after receiving Yan Shi's call.

"We're on our way there. We'll meet up and then leave immediately."

"But we haven't met the others yet."

"Then let's create the illusion that they've already escaped, and secretly observe them. These people are definitely not good people; we can't let them find out."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

The communicator remained on to maintain contact, and they arrived within minutes. The laser blade sliced ​​open the lock, and Bu Qing carried Zhuang Zhao back the way they came. They found an inconspicuous empty house in the village, placed a gem engraved with a concealment array next to him, and affixed Han Mo's lightning talisman to ensure Zhuang Zhao's absolute safety.

Turn on his communicator again and put the earphone in his ears, in case he wakes up and doesn't see Yan Shi and impulsively destroys the magic circle or gets hurt by the talisman.

When Bu Qing saw Zhuang Zhao off, Yan Shi and Bu Ke led the clumsy Han Mo on a tour of the area. The villagers were all hiding underground. Most of the caves were filled with food, tools, and cooking utensils, while others contained poultry and livestock.

The three found the underground entrance, but didn't dare to go in.

"Let's go check the entrance. There should be people on guard duty there."

"Yeah, the feeling of that guy arresting us came pretty quickly. Didn't you see him when you came in?"

"No."

"Go and look for it."

Han Mo: These two girls are so energetic, aren't they sleepy in the middle of the night?

Yan Shi and Bu Ke treated this like an adventure game. Since they were in the shadows, they weren't afraid of being ambushed. With Han Mo, who could explode and become invisible, they felt completely safe.

They encountered Bu Qing, who had returned from the entrance, and the four of them actually found a path. They went through a cave near the entrance, leading to the unknown underground.

"If Zhuang Zhao were here, he'd be very good at scouting with his puppet bird." She already missed him after only being apart for a short while.

"It's not like only Zhuang Zhao can control puppet birds, bro, show us your talent!" Bu Ke didn't like hearing this.

"I didn't bring the puppet bird," Bu Qing said indifferently.

"Then forget I said anything."

"Wait a minute, isn't that a person too?" Yan Shi asked his companion, pointing to the faint bright spot on the life detector.

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that. Even if it is, it's because the person is dying and losing body temperature, which is why they are this color."

"Go and look for it, I think it's a person."

"This color might be from a different species."

"It's possible that the body temperature of different species is either higher or lower than the normal human body temperature."

"I'll go take a look first." Yan Shi was about to take a step forward when Bu Ke grabbed her arm.

"Together!"

The four people, now invisibility talismans, acted with impunity, since they didn't know where the path led. Although the life detector showed their three-dimensional location, it couldn't determine whether the path led to that place, so they decided to explore the path first.

After many twists and turns, they arrived directly at the place where the villagers slept. They tiptoed around and looked around, but they didn't find the divine medicine clan they were looking for. Before leaving, Bu Ke and Han Mo left behind a lot of things as backup plans.

"There's a small room here."

"This is the location we're looking for, isn't it?"

"It's locked." Thick chains were wrapped around it, suggesting that something very important was locked away.

"I'll do it," Han Mo volunteered.

"Don't make too much noise."

Han Mo didn't break the lock; instead, he cut the chain directly.

Pushing open the door, the room was pitch black, and an indescribable smell hit me, even more pungent than a pigsty.

The flashlight beam shone in, and the room was quite empty. Only in the corner could you see a clump of something. Upon closer inspection, it was probably the faint bright spot on the life detector.

Yan Shi walked over with a flashlight, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed a person, because her black hole showed no reaction.

When you reach out and touch it, it feels slightly cool, like the temperature of a plant fruit, not like a living thing.

"There is a heartbeat and faint breathing. There are no obvious external injuries, but there is blood on the skin and clothes," Yan Shi summarized.

The person looked young, around ten years old, and was filthy and smelly. There were chains on his wrists and feet, making it hard to understand why a child would be treated like this.

Yan Shi touched him for a long time but he didn't open his eyes. Bu Qing meant that his body was in a state of self-defense, which could be interpreted as deep sleep or coma.

Bu Ke peeled a piece of candy, pried open his mouth, and stuffed it in.

Yan Shi: Aren't you afraid of choking if you put sugar in your mouth when you're unconscious?

"Shall we take him with us?" Zhuang Zhao asked his companion for her opinion.

“I want to know why he was treated this way,” Bu Ke said in a deep voice.

She had just noticed that the boy's clothes were covered with cuts from a sharp object, and that the area around these cuts was soaked in blood.

The boy appeared to have suffered inhuman abuse, although it was strange that he had no injuries.

"I have a way." Han Mo pulled out a tattered ancient book from his bag, flipping through it page by page. He then took out a cinnabar pen and traced the diagrams from the ancient book onto a blank talisman.

"This is called 'Reappearance.' By staining the blood of the person involved, it can recreate what happened to him in the past day." Han Mo tore off a piece of the boy's blood-stained clothes, burned it to ashes, and sprinkled it on the Reappearance talisman. After fiddling with it for a while, everyone actually saw a scene similar to a mirage.

Others: Isn't your Han family's business scope too broad? Your family isn't just a family of talismans, it's a family of magic, isn't it?

Even Yan Shi, who is well-versed in online novels, never imagined that talismans could be used in this way. No wonder the Han family is firmly in first place.
