Scarface walked to the corner and sat down, watching as both the man and the dog had food, while he was starving... He dared not speak out in anger.

Even if something happens, Shangguan Wu won't give him any.

What's a meal or two of hunger for someone like that? If she weren't handing him over to the police, she would have let him die out there long ago.

A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Wu's eyes.

After finishing the chicken, Shangguan Wu stood up and stretched his arms and legs.

The temperature was very low inside the cave at night.

But this place is safe, and she finally doesn't have to worry tonight.

Shangguan Wu sat down on the wooden bed. As soon as she sat down, she felt that the bottom was hollow. She stood up in confusion and tried to lift the wooden board, but she couldn't.

She called out, "Little Scar, come here and lift it up."

Scarface emerged from the corner, his face grim. He grabbed the wooden plank and pulled hard, lifting the entire wooden bed off its hinges.

It crashed into the stone wall with a bang and shattered into pieces instantly.

At the same time, a cloud of dust fell.

Shangguan Wu quickly covered her mouth and took a few steps back.

Scarface froze, then turned to Shangguan Wu and explained, "I didn't use any force; it's just that this plank has been sitting there for too long."

Shangguan Wu rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'd believe that?"

Before he could speak, she waved her hand, signaling him to move aside.

Scarface took two steps to the side.

Shangguan Wu walked to the bedside and saw four boxes inside. Each box had a character engraved on it, which, when put together, read—

A gift to those who are destined to meet me!

Is this a gift for someone destined to receive it?

Shangguan Wu turned to look at the skeleton. How could he be so sure that the person who found this place was a stranger? What if it was someone from that organization who had come looking for them?

Scarface saw it too, and thinking it was some gold or silver jewelry, he immediately reached out and opened the nearest box.

Danger can strike in an instant.

"ah--"

Scarface screamed and staggered back more than ten steps.

Shangguan Wu was startled. She shone her flashlight over and saw that he was covering his right eye with one hand, and blood was flowing out from between his fingers.

Did you injure your eye?

Shangguan Wu was utterly speechless: "You dare to touch anything? With your IQ, how did you become the boss?"

Scarface: "..." Can't he just use his fists?

The next second, Scarface fell to the ground, trembling all over.

Shangguan Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly went over.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei blocked her way, barking: "Woof woof woof!"

Shangguan Wu patted its head and said softly, "Good boy, Xiao Hei, move aside. He can't die yet."

Little Black whimpered and followed her to Scarface.

Shangguan Wu squatted down to examine him and saw that Scarface's lips were black, which was clearly a symptom of poisoning.

"If you don't want to die, take your hand off and let me see your injuries."

"Help me... beautiful lady, help me..."

Scarface slowly lowered his hand.

He now deeply regrets opening that box. He hasn't lived enough yet, he doesn't want to die, why did he have to be so impulsive!

Shangguan Wu frowned when she saw his injured right eye, where the poison had already seeped in. She said, "Your eye is beyond saving. It has to be gouged out now, or you'll lose your life."

Scarface asked with a contorted expression, "...Are you really, really going to dig?"

Shangguan Wu nodded: "If you don't want to die."

Scarface gritted his teeth: "Dig, dig it up!"

Immediately, Shangguan Wu quickly gathered several planks together, piled them up, then used an electric shock baton to set them on fire. He then took out a dagger, heated it until it was red-hot, and walked towards Scarface.

Scarface stared at the red dagger in her hand as if he were seeing an evil queen, trembling all over and moving backward uncontrollably.

Shangguan Wu asked, "Do you want to bite a piece of wood?"

Scarface was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I want it!"

Shangguan Wu then gave him a piece of wood.

After he bit down, Shangguan Wu heated the dagger over the fire again, then bit the flashlight in her mouth before gouging out Scarface's right eyeball...

After about ten minutes, Shangguan Wu stopped and said, "That's it."

Sweating profusely, Scarface immediately removed the wooden board, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath like a dying fish.

At this moment, Shangguan Wu came to the bedside and looked at the box that Scarface had opened.

Little Black barked, "Woof!"

Shangguan Wu glanced down at it: "It's okay, I won't open the other boxes."

Scarface: "..." He lost an eye, but in the end, she got the treasure?

"What's inside?" Scarface asked.

Shangguan Wu's voice trembled with barely concealed excitement: "The book!"

Scarface didn't believe it. He struggled to his feet and walked over, but he didn't dare to get too close. He just stood behind Shangguan Wu and looked into the box.

"Really books? What's so exciting about some old books?" Scarface didn't understand, but he regretted it even more.

Shangguan Wu was, of course, excited!

She had read the top three books in the box before, but they were pirated copies written by Grandpa Hai. She never expected to see the originals here!

She carefully took the book out and found that it was full of books, some of which she had read and some she hadn't.

This notebook must have been brought out by the owner of the hypnosis organization. If all four boxes are full of books, did he empty half of the library?

She's hit the jackpot!

She put all the hypnosis books she hadn't read together and counted them; there were eleven.

She happened to have injured her leg and couldn't walk, so she could read here.

As for the other three boxes, Shangguan Wu didn't touch them.

There's definitely danger involved, and she doesn't want to become a one-eyed monster.

Not knowing if there were any other dangers near the bed, she returned to her original spot with the hypnosis book she hadn't read yet.

An hour has passed.
