Seeing that Amisha was still depressed, Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Under normal circumstances, your mission would be to kill the little boy who has been infected with the disease."

Amisha's eyes widened.

She glanced at Lu Ning, then at the unconscious little boy, a complex expression on her face.

What will happen to such a young child after the disease develops?

Can they kill them?

While Amisa remained silent, Chen Xingyu and Karl, who were in other rooms, heard the commotion and came out.

Carl asked nervously, "What happened?"

Lu Ning looked at Amisha, who took a deep breath and said, "The little boy was about to become ill, but Brother Lu absorbed the pollution from him."

Chen Xingyu and Carl were taken aback, but they weren't surprised, since they had heard Colin and the others say that Lu Ning could absorb mental pollution.

Chen Xingyu frowned and asked, "Why did it become diseased?"

Amisha thought for a moment, then her expression turned serious: "...It might be related to a dream."

"Related to dreams?" Chen Xingyu and Karl were both taken aback.

Amisha nodded and recounted her conversation with the little boy, explaining, "I suspect that the little boy's perception may have been altered in his dream, making him believe that he has been kidnapped. He was probably also instigated in his dream to kill his parents."

Chen Xingyu and Karl frowned deeply.

"To incite someone to kill in a dream, especially to have such a young boy kill his own parents, is outrageous. Who did it?!" Chen Xingyu exclaimed angrily.

"Related to dreams... Could it be the Mind Cult that the sage mentioned before?" Karl thought of what the Azure Mist Saint had said about the Dream Ruler.

Spiritual sects worship the ruler of dreams and should therefore possess the ability to create dreams.

As for the idea that it's an evil god itself, that's impossible.

What evil god would be so bored as to target a ten-year-old boy?

Chen Xingyu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's possible. Let's check the literature when we get back."

They didn't know much about spiritual sects, but there were some documents they could look at.

Amisha looked at Chen Xingyu and Karl: "Have you discovered anything?"

Chen Xingyu said solemnly, "The bedroom contains the bodies of that couple. I looked at the wounds; they were all fatally slashed in the neck. It's hard to imagine that a ten-year-old boy did this."

Carl shook his head and said, "I checked the bathroom and guest rooms, and I didn't find anything unusual."

Bowen and Peng Qianqian watched from the sidelines the whole time.

Seeing that the little boy had almost become seriously ill, the two looked at each other, both feeling a bit scared.

If the little boy had fallen ill earlier, the two sheriffs they had assigned to the room probably wouldn't have been able to handle him.

After all, the firearms in the hands of those two sheriffs were only somewhat dangerous to deal with first-level infected individuals.

If the little boy's strength after his illness exceeds the first level, then the two sheriffs will likely be in great danger.

Fortunately, there were no lesions before.

Bowen said, "We investigated the other rooms using instruments and found nothing wrong."

Chen Xingyu nodded, then looked at Lu Ning: "Brother Lu, do you want to take a look?"

Lu Ning nodded, glanced around the house, and then walked towards the master bedroom.

Upon entering the master bedroom, Lu Ning saw two corpses covered with white sheets on the bed.

He did not look at the body because there were no signs of mental pollution on it.

His gaze fell on the center of the bed, in the air near the headboard.

There, a barely visible strand of silver spider silk swayed gently.

Lu Ning silently walked over, reached out and grabbed the spider silk. The spider silk instantly fell off, as if it had fallen from the other end of space.

Lu Ning looked at the spot where the spider silk had fallen, but there was nothing there.

But he remembered that whether it was this time or the spider silk that Jerry had seen before, the spider silk would disappear after it extended, as if it had entered another dimension.

And now... more spider silk is drifting out from other dimensions, corrupting the little boy's perception.

Lu Ning stared at the empty space, as if he could see through it. In another space-time, countless spider silks connected to form a spider web, covering a large area.

Countless spider silks seem to be waiting to break through space, interfere with cognition, and influence human thinking.

Seeing Lu Ning remain silent, Chen Xingyu and the other two exchanged glances, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Lu Ning quickly came to his senses.

He said calmly, "Go out."

Karl asked curiously, "Brother Lu, what did you discover?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

This is just Lu Ning's guess.

Seeing that Lu Ning didn't say anything, the three of them stopped asking.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, they saw the little boy groggily open his eyes.

When he realized he was tied up and there were strangers in his house, he was startled at first, and then shrank back in fear.

"...Who are you people? Where are my mom and dad? Dad! Mom!"

Seeing the little boy's frightened expression, everyone present fell silent.
