Over there, there are lush, green trees. In the night, they seem to be coated with a layer of silver light, rustling softly in the wind.

A beautiful night view in the woods.

However, underneath, there were about a dozen bodies buried in layers, scattered over a period of more than ten years.

Piles of white bones, grievances difficult to redress.

"He said the last time he saw it was four years ago, when a short, fat man came here carrying a woman wrapped in a bag and buried her underneath."

"Did you see his face clearly?" Jiang Si looked at the burial site, her tone extremely cold. She never imagined that such a horrific thing had happened in this place.

“No,” Qi Yan said in a low voice, “Back then he was just a little mouse, so his memory isn’t that deep.”

Mice don't live that long, and their cerebellum can't remember much. Jiang Si knew she couldn't get anything out of them, so she let them go.

“These remnant souls must have been awakened by the dense blood energy, but—” Jiang Si paused for a moment, “why is this place so clean?”

Logically speaking, those who die unjustly must be filled with resentment, but this place is very clean, and even Jiang Si could not sense a trace of resentment when she came here.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she abruptly pulled Qi Yan over and slapped him on the forehead.

Qi Yan struggled violently, his head throbbing with pain, but he couldn't make a sound.

"As expected." Jiang Si released Qi Yan and looked at the red dot on her hand: "So that's why you were here. You were collecting resentment."

Qi Yan coughed violently: "What are you doing?"

When he glared at her fiercely, he froze.

Jiang Si held a Soul Gathering Pill, specially designed to collect the resentment of the world. His eyes were filled with disbelief: "Why is such a thing in my hands?"

"I'm asking you, you naive and innocent girl," Jiang Si said rudely.

Puppet tools can also be infuriating.

Jiang Si thought of the fire set by the Crimson Flame Rat last time. It could have burned the children to death, but it deliberately pushed them to the edge of the balcony.

If it hadn't been for her that day, she would have surely died.

If it's to collect resentment, then that makes sense.

Children are innocent, and if they die a violent death, their resentment will be greater than that of normal adults. This method of slowly teasing them is meant to make them watch helplessly as they die, causing their resentment to soar.

She carefully put away the Soul Gathering Pill: "What is that big shot behind you plotting?" She thought about it from ancient times to the present, but she couldn't figure out what use resentment was to people.

She guessed that the person behind it all along knew about the murderer, and that the murderer was just a pawn in his game. You're content with killing, and I'm content with collecting resentment.

They might have even helped out, otherwise why couldn't they find anything after all these years? The ability to investigate cases is much stronger in today's society.

The wandering spirits are still drifting around.

"Let's go back first." There's no solution for the time being.

The next day, as dawn broke, birdsong filled the forest.

When Bi Rou got up, she saw that Jiang Si had already gotten up, her eyes closed, sitting upright as if in meditation.

If you look closely, you can see that the ends of the hair seem to be damp.

Bi Rou, who was about to yawn, forcibly held back. When she saw Wen Mingsong come out, she quickly made a shushing gesture, then pointed at Jiang Si and whispered, "Let's not disturb Teacher Jiang."

Bathed in the morning light, Jiang Si seemed to possess an aura of holiness that made her seem unworthy of desecration.

Before the two could react, Jiang Si opened her eyes.

Bi Rou swears with her 5.2 vision that she really saw a fleeting glint in Jiang Si's eyes for that instant.

"You're up?" Jiang Si quickly regained her usual calm demeanor, as if nothing had happened, and offered no explanation for why she was meditating so early in the morning.

After they finished washing up, the live stream was restarted.

Let's see if my daughter has gotten uglier after one night.

Wow, this feels so refreshing!

It's as if I can smell the fresh scent of the forest.

I don't know if your daughter has gotten uglier, but I do know that Jiang Si looks a little better than yesterday.

【No, don't you guys have a feeling that Jiang Si seems to be suppressing something?】

No, she's just eating breakfast normally. She's always been a quiet person.

After breakfast, the group didn't waste any time and headed straight for the supply pack storage area. Perhaps because they had rested well, or for some other reason, they were out of the way and quickly gathered all the supply packs in the vicinity.

Wen Mingsong was very excited: "At the current pace, we can basically win for sure."

Jiang Si replied casually, "Mm."

"If we go back now, we can get more. We can go directly to the top of the mountain along this road to turn in the quest."

Considering the weight issue, Wen Mingsong took on most of the burden, while Jiang Si and Bi Rou shared the rest.

Jiang Si originally wanted to take more, but Wen Mingsong said, "Teacher Jiang, you've had a long and tiring journey, let me take it."

"I have to show my masculine side in front of the audience."

Helpless, Jiang Si stopped arguing with her.

As if divinely inspired, they completely avoided all the difficult routes, took no detours, and went straight to the point where the two armies met at the top of the mountain.

Without a doubt, they won.

The production team was already waiting there. Director Li put down his teacup and said in a friendly tone, "Congratulations on completing the mission first. You can take a short rest now."

He initially invited Jiang Si simply because of her sudden surge in popularity, but now it's proven that he made the right choice.

On the way here, they rescued the top influencer Yu Zhong, and all eyes were immediately drawn to their program. The number of viewers in the live stream was more than double what it used to be.
