It's getting dark...
Hope Village.
After finishing her day of classes, Sun Muchen dragged her tired body home, intending to get some rest. However, the Holy City's envoy, along with several others, came to persuade her to join the Holy City and plot their so-called grand scheme.
Since that day when they came to persuade him, they have been coming more and more frequently. Sun Muchen has gradually become less friendly to them. Just now, when the Holy Envoy came again, Sun Muchen simply rolled his eyes.
Get lost!
A slight chuckle escaped from beneath the hoods of the holy envoy and his entourage, who surprisingly said, "Alright, bye-bye!"
Then he turned and left.
Sun Muchen was too lazy to think about why things had gone so smoothly this time, because he was simply too tired. After closing the door, he sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of water.
She watched the light reflected in the water in the glass, and as she gently shook the glass, the surface of the water even began to shimmer and sparkle.
Sun Muchen sighed, picked up the cup, and was about to drink it.
But his hand suddenly trembled in mid-air, and all the strength in his hand vanished, causing the cup and water to fall to the ground.
"Crack!"
The cup shattered with a crack, and water spilled all over the floor.
At the same time, a strong feeling of palpitation followed.
Sun Muchen frowned.
Her body also began to tremble slightly.
A broken cup is not a good sign; it does not signify the peace and safety that people used to say about broken cups.
After Sun Muchen's magical energy awakened, her perception became increasingly sharp, greatly enhancing her awareness of surrounding movements and her sense of danger.
A broken cup is not a good thing.
Wang Lan is in trouble; she's in danger.
Sun Muchen immediately pictured Wang Lan in her mind. It seemed that the instant the figure appeared, she saw countless flying insects surrounding Wang Lan and constantly devouring her.
In the end, Wang Lan was reduced to a skeleton, his flesh and blood torn away completely.
Sun Muchen gasped and was about to turn and leave.
But the moment the door was pushed open, a figure tumbled in with a cry of "Ouch!"
Sun Muchen was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Lin Han.
"Lin Han? What are you doing here?"
"Teacher Sun," Lin Han quickly got up and said, "I, something seems to have happened at my home."
Sun Muchen was anxious about Wang Lan's situation and had no time to care about Lin Han's family. He casually replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll go out for a bit and come to your house when I get back."
"Huh?" Lin Han was stunned. He quickly went over and grabbed Sun Muchen. The moment his hand grasped Sun Muchen's hand, a blue light appeared on Sun Muchen's hand. Lin Han's hand touched the blue light, and instantly, a tingling and painful sensation spread from his hand throughout his body.
Lin Han was immediately thrown away.
"Lin Han!"
Sun Muchen stomped his foot in anger and quickly went over to help him up.
Lin Han's body trembled. He glanced at Sun Muchen's hand, his face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he tried to back away.
Sun Muchen frowned, sighed, and said impatiently, "Tell me quickly, what is it?"
Lin Han shuddered a few more times, and seeing that the tingling sensation in his body had subsided, he immediately stood up and kept his distance from Sun Muchen. He dared not touch Sun Muchen again.
“Yes, that’s right, Teacher Sun,” Lin Han said, “I’ve noticed these past few days that my uncle isn’t quite right.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Muchen rolled his eyes at Lin Han and said, "Hasn't your uncle been acting strangely ever since he returned from the Holy City?"
“Uh…” Lin Han was taken aback for a moment and said, “That’s true, but the other night it was windy and I felt a bit cold. When I got up in the middle of the night, I thought I’d cover my uncle with a blanket. After all, he’s old and I don’t want him to get cold.”
"But after I went into my uncle's room, I suddenly found that my uncle's eyes were wide open. I was startled and wondered what was going on. Then we called my uncle a few times, but... there was no response!"
"I was terrified. I just wanted to wake my uncle up as soon as possible, so that nothing else would happen to him. So I patted him, but when I patted him, I found that my uncle's body was stiff and cold, like, like a dead person!"
"W-what?" Sun Muchen was stunned. "A dead person?"
Lin Han nodded repeatedly and said, "This is absolutely true. I would never joke about something like this. I even checked my uncle's chest, and there was no movement at all. But as soon as it got light, he was fine. He could blink again, his body warmed up, and he was panting when he started working."
Sun Muchen frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "How long have you been aware of this situation?"
“It’s been like this every day for the past few days,” Lin Han said with a mournful face. “It seems to have been like this ever since we came back from the Holy City. And to be honest, I’ve noticed that even during the day, my uncle’s eyes, especially his pupils, are somewhat dull.”
"sluggish……"
Upon hearing this word, Sun Muchen immediately thought of most of the villagers in the village, who, like Lin Han's uncle, had blank stares.
"What about other situations?" Sun Muchen asked, "Did he ever try to kill you while you were sleeping, or when you weren't paying attention?"
Lin Han thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, he hasn't done anything to me. It's just that his carpentry skills seem to have declined. When he makes tables and chairs now, it seems... unfamiliar, not at all like before when he was so skilled."
