Chapter 29
Wen Ci Qiu didn't stay long. After seeing what was going on, he went back directly.
The situation in the courtyard was dire. Upon entering, he saw his master retching non-stop, his back arched like a shrimp, his long, pale fingers clawing at the bed. His long, drooping hair obscured any facial expression, but the agony was so intense that it felt like he was about to vomit out all his internal organs. Wen Zhezhi, who was waiting nearby, patted his back and asked what was wrong.
Dabao stood in the distance, holding Xiaolu's hand, neither crying nor crying, looking at his father who was in great pain. He wanted to move forward with his little feet but was held back.
Erbao was crying loudly in Little Bear's arms. Wen Ciqiu hurried in and said, "Little Bear and Little Deer Rongrong, take the young master and the young lady in first. You don't need to take care of anything here."
He took a few steps forward to support his master's body, his hands still trembling with pain: "Zhezhi, go pour some warm water." After sending everyone away, Wen Ci Qiu began the self-inspection procedure. He was connected to his master and could check the master's huge energy flow.
After checking, he soon found something wrong. In just one day, the energy consumed by the master was almost replenished. Wen Ci was sure that the reason why so much energy was replenished was related to the ceremony outside.
Anyone who possesses the energy can absorb it. The life energy emitted by humans is even stronger when there are huge emotional fluctuations. Death, carnival, prayer, madness, which one is not a huge emotional extreme of humans.
If these energies were absorbed slowly, they would quickly be assimilated into the host's original energy without causing any impact. However, the energy burst on this day was too powerful, and the host absorbed it all without realizing it. These emotional energies, like viruses, gathered into clusters, and the host was unable to isolate them from the body.
These viral emotional energies penetrate every inch of the owner, causing such a strong reaction in the owner.
With the help of Wen Ci Qiu, Rong Zhou's virus-like energy rushed to the underground space of his home. The entire space underneath was like cancer cells that had grown viruses, and tumors of all sizes filled the underground space.
Some of these tumors are as big as five-story buildings, while others are as small as a person. They are covered with energy tubes like blood vessels, connecting them to their homes and owners.
Only after sealing the entrance to the basement did Rong Zhou regain his composure. His long hair was disheveled and stuck to his face. His hand that was gripping the couch loosened its fingertips, and only then did a little color return to his face.
"I'm sorry, master. I didn't expect so much energy to come all at once. I didn't know this situation would happen." Wen Ci Qiu confessed that he seemed to have not fulfilled his responsibilities.
"Don't worry too much. What happened outside?" Rong Zhou asked with disordered breathing and pale face. He wanted to figure out why this happened?
Wen Ciqiu told Rong Zhou everything that had happened outside. This made Rong Zhou frown deeply. He knew that the ancient times were different from what was shown on TV, and he had read some books to analyze ancient society.
This is really like the ancient times when people ate each other. It is really hard to accept. Not to mention that he is a 30-year-old man, Liu Ze, a young man, has never seen the cruelty of society, and now he is pushed directly to the bloody height.
"Don't let Yaya and Shitou come into contact with the locals in the future. The values here are not suitable for children to grow up in. Then you go find Liu Ze and ask him to come back." As a father, he hopes that his children can grow up in a better environment. As a master, he does not want his apprentices to be in that kind of environment.
————————————
On the night of carnival, Liu Ze was carried back by the saints. He had no strength in his body and was swaying with the shaking of the carriage.
The cage was finally opened. His clean feet stepped on the white tiles, which gave him the feeling of stepping on a sticky pool of blood. Corpses were hung on every white pillar, and a row of severed heads were placed on the railings of the corridor. They were also smiling at him, dripping blood and gathering at his feet.
Liu Ze couldn't control his legs and fell involuntarily into the pool of blood in the hallucination.
"Star Lord, Star Lord." The girls' calls one after another came from those saints wearing cloaks.
The moment he leaned forward, Yan Shiliu, who had been following him, stopped him. Liu Ze's immature body curled up in Yan Shiliu's arms, closing his eyes and not wanting to see anything.
In this way, he was carried back to the bedroom, and Yan Shiliu gently put him on the bed. On the huge bed, Xingxing looked smaller and more helpless.
He didn't understand what was wrong with Xingxing. She was fine when the ceremony started in the morning. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stand aside and look down at her.
When Liu Ze woke up again, it was already the second night. Yan Shiliu was not around, and there was food at the door. It seemed that Yan Shiliu had left early in the morning. Because he had ordered the saints not to enter his bedroom, the food was placed at the door. If Yan Shiliu was there, it would be brought in.
The food that seemed delicious before now made him feel like vomiting. The palace, the food, the wine, were all obtained because of the women who were sold.
He didn't even want to touch it. In the past, when he was hungry, he would beg for food. Because his body lacked energy, eating could only make his stomach feel less hungry for a while, but it didn't make his body grow. When he came to the master, all food was made of energy, and his body only grew after eating it. Now, even if he didn't eat, he would only feel hungry, but he wouldn't starve to death.
His feet touched the ground, and he watched helplessly as blood flowed from the doorway, getting closer and closer, almost touching his toes. His mind clearly told him that this was an illusion, that there was no blood in the room, and that the palace was all white, but his eyes kept deceiving him.
The blood kept approaching him from all directions, and he could only retreat again and again. He couldn't fall down. There was no one by his side now, and if he fell down, he would fall into the blood amber.
He retreated to the bed and finally went up to the roof via the stairs, where the blood below stopped spreading up.
Liu Ze curled up with his legs hugged, looking at the red blood swirling under the stairs. Monsters emerged from the blood one after another, opening their mouths and saying something to him.
"Don't come over, don't come over." Liu Ze shouted at the monsters below, and those monsters were obedient and didn't come up from the first floor.
The saints guarding outside the door saw from afar that something was wrong with the star official, so they went in to check the situation, but were stopped downstairs.
"You are in a very embarrassing situation, Master Liu." A gentle voice sounded from behind.
Liu Ze turned his head and saw Butler Wen still wearing his usual black outfit, looking at him with a smile.
