"But...what about madness?"

"The madness that followed me into the black hole has vanished. Was it completely squeezed into nothingness by gravity, or did it survive in another form?"

"Forget it, why bother with it?"

Li Qingyu temporarily set aside his thoughts on madness and began to consider the present.

"Big sister, are you still there?"

Seeing the charming old man in front of him start counting again, Li Qingyu called out in his heart.

However.

The response to Li Qingyu was a faint, intermittent voice.

【Crimson: Find....Found....

East, towards the east...

After that, no matter how Li Qingyu called out to her, Shen Hong no longer gave any response.

It's like a cell phone that has completely lost its signal tower.

It has all the necessary functions, but it can no longer make calls or access the internet.

"turn up?"

"What else could we find? It must be the original body."

"So... to find the main body, we need to go east?"

Li Qingyu turned his attention to the east.

pity....

Apart from the endless, mist-shrouded mountains, Li Qingyu could see nothing else.

"Did the main body fall into the mountains?"

but....

Just as Li Qingyu was focused on the mountains.

Suddenly, the charming face of an old man appeared before Li Qingyu's eyes.

They were so close, you could hear their breathing.

Li Qingyu was so frightened that he almost exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"My dear husband..."

"Could you ask your little gourd to help me count? I really can't count them all!"

The old man's eerie face tilted slightly in a coquettish manner.

"Okay, okay!"

Then, Li Qingyu heard the little baby beneath him clapping his hands in response.

"Tch, you two tell me to count, so I'll count...."

"Besides, it's obvious at a glance, it's just seven..."

Just as Li Qingyu was inwardly scoffing and wondering how the old man had discovered him...

"One!~"

Li Qingyu was shocked to find that his attention had actually shifted to the doll beneath him.

With perfect pronunciation, he began counting down the numbers!

At this moment, he was like... a puppet being manipulated!?

But he's still just a gourd...

"Two!~"

The next moment, Li Qingyu was forced to turn his attention to the second doll, the one with the orange gourd on its head.

And they continued shouting.

Damn it, why isn't the storage bin working?!

Li Qingyu panicked a little.

"Three!~"

"Four!~"

...

"Twelve!~"

"Thirteen!~"
