“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence....
Ye Qingjie was a girl skilled in combat in her original world. In just one day, she figured out Fang Zhiyi's situation. She was very confident in dealing with this NPC. As long as Lin Ye told her to do it, she would do it.
She slowly walked towards Fang Zhiyi, who had her back to them, clutching several iron nails in her hand. Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by.
Ye Qingjie stood there, stunned.
Her prolonged inaction drew the attention of others.
"Sister Ye?" someone called out cautiously.
"Xiao Jie?" Lin Ye frowned. Had she softened? No, she was sometimes more decisive than him.
Amidst the shouts, Ye Qingjie slowly turned her head, startling everyone.
Two streams of bloody tears flowed from her eyes, her face filled with terror.
"What's wrong?" Someone immediately jumped up, ready to unleash their skill at any moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Ye Qingjie said apologetically as tears of blood streamed down her face. In full view of everyone, she plunged the iron nail in her hand into herself.
She seemed to feel no pain, stabbing herself repeatedly.
Fang Zhiyi continued looking at the map on the ground, ignoring the noise behind her, when Xiao Hei suddenly darted into the sky.
Lin Ye stepped forward to help, and the others quickly tried to stop her, but Ye Qingjie wouldn't stop. She kept apologizing while stabbing herself repeatedly.
"A demon! Fang Linjie is here!" someone realized.
After a brief pause, Lin Ye said, "No, he hasn't arrived yet!"
No one knew why he was so sure, but they believed Lin Ye wouldn't talk nonsense; he had never made a wrong judgment.
"Xiao Jie!" Just then, Ye Qingjie burst out with tremendous strength, breaking free from the crowd that was trying to stop her. Then, while crying and looking at everyone, she used an iron nail to cut open her own neck with a look of terror on her face.
Even so, she remained standing, a strange laugh escaping her lips.
That was the voice of the devil.
"There's a demon! Quick! Get ready!" Lin Ye only felt a slight pang of regret over his girlfriend's death, but he wasn't short of girlfriends. His gaze fell on Fang Zhiyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with her back to them. "It's that kid! He's faking us!"
"I'm so heartbroken... I poured my heart out to you, and you wanted to pour your heart out to me?" Fang Zhiyi slowly stood up, supporting herself on her knees, and then turned around slowly.
"You're a demon!" Lin Ye didn't know what tricks Fang Zhiyi had played, and he suddenly regretted not asking Wei Kaiyang, that good-for-nothing, more questions.
It was just a gust of wind blowing by.
Another team member started yelling, his mouth full of his dark past: "I'm sorry to my family! I hit my mom! I even tried to poison my dad! I'm a hero now! Why are they pointing fingers at me? I, I, I!"
He suddenly grabbed his chin and the back of his head, then twisted his head 180 degrees.
He didn't fall; instead, he stared at the remaining people with a ferocious expression, letting out inhuman laughter.
The terrifying scene shocked everyone, and the others were so frightened that they took a step back.
