"What the hell is this? Jiuling, come take a look?"

Yue Jiuling was just about to pull out a child's soul to take a look when she heard Mu Xiaoyi's words and immediately walked over and said, "What, did you discover something?"

Yue Jiuling approached the girl's soul and also discovered the strange mark. She said, "What is this? It feels so strange. Young Master Long, have you seen this thing before?"

"No, but it looks like some kind of mark."

Ya Zi was originally guarding the door, because he thought he could leave the task of checking the souls to Yue Jiuling and the other two, and he wouldn't have to do anything. But when he was called over and saw that things were a bit strange.

"What kind of mark is this? Is it because they are on the child's soul that the child is like this?"

Mu Xiaoyi reached out to touch the mark again, but the result was the same as before, she was stopped by the strange aura.

"Wait, don't touch it like that. Why do I feel like this is a mark from a monster?"

After sensing that aura, Yue Jiuling grabbed Mu Xiaoyi's hand, preventing her from touching it. She looked at the mark seriously, trying to find out the meaning behind its existence.

Ya Zi also came over. He glanced at the mark a few times, then suddenly went to another child's side and pulled the child's soul out. He said, "Let me see if the other children are the same."

"Hey, be careful, don't hurt them."

Mu Xiaoyi was startled when she saw Ya Zi's rough actions and said, "Take it easy! They're all in a state of scattered souls!"

"This one is the same."

After seeing that the soul he had pulled out also had the same mark, Ya Zi ran to the third child's side, intending to pull out another soul to take a look. However, this time he remembered Mu Xiaoyi's reminder and went much easier on him.

"This one is the same."

After seeing that the third child also had the same mark, Ya Zi understood what was going on. He said, "I think I know what's going on. These children have been taken to nourish other people's souls."

"Nourish the soul? What does that mean?"

Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi immediately asked, "Young Master Long, please explain this to us quickly."

"How do I remove this mark?"

Ya Zi quickly pulled out the souls of the remaining children. He said, "Actually, I've heard of this method of nourishing the soul. It involves using the souls of others to heal one's own injured soul."

The method of this therapy involves nurturing the living soul and marking it to prevent it from wandering off. Every so often, the life force of the living soul is absorbed, which allows for faster healing. Children's souls have more life force, making the soul-nurturing effect better.

This is why they were kept in cages like piglets; they couldn't die. Only living people could continue to nourish their souls. Their symptoms of soul dissipation were because too much vital energy had been drained, hence the symptoms.

"Tsk, so that's how it is. No wonder they raise children like that. It seems that the Chameleons have been raising children to nourish their souls all along."

Mu Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Then how can we remove this mark? If we don't remove the mark, can't those bad guys still follow the mark to find us?"

"Hmph, if they dare to come, I'll definitely arrest them all!"

Yue Jiuling said angrily from the side, "Young Master Long, how do we remove this mark? Will the soul not be scattered once it's removed?"

“This mark can be removed; if it isn’t removed, they can indeed follow us here.”

Ya Zi said, "The kids at the police station were probably marked not long ago, so the marks disappeared on their own. But these few have marks that are a bit deeper. It seems we'll have to remove them by force."

"As long as it can be untied, that's fine, but wouldn't it be dangerous to force it?"

Mu Xiaoyi looked at the children with concern and asked.

"Hehe, you might not be able to do it, but Jiu Ling and I can definitely break it. Let me set up a barrier first."

As Ya Zi spoke, he set up a barrier in the ward and said to Yue Jiuling, "This monster's abilities are no better than ours. Give it a try."

Hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "Oh, really? Then I'll give it a try first~"
