In a corner of the warehouse, an ordinary-looking man stood motionless, holding a small child in his arms.
When Xia Lulu saw her unharmed child, she ran over excitedly, hugged the child, and tears streamed down her face.
Qin Bai then approached the man and asked, "Who told you to do this?"
Strangely, the man didn't say anything.
The hypnotic effect is still present; the other person can't possibly stay silent unless...
He himself didn't know.
Why would you harm Sister Lu's child?
Qin Bai changed the question.
This time, the man spoke up: "I just don't like children."
What kind of reason is that?
Qin Bai didn't believe it anyway. He had some impression of this person; he was one of the people who joined later.
The shelter has been open for a long time and many people have joined, and this person is one of them.
Unfortunately, no matter how Qin Bai questioned, the other party kept saying the same thing: he did it himself, and no one asked him to do it.
"His memories may have been altered. There shouldn't be anyone in Peach Blossom Spring who can alter other people's memories."
Qin Bai frowned.
Xia Lulu finally managed to calm the child down and came to Qin Bai's side: "I know the people of Taoyuan quite well, but I have never heard of anyone having the ability to modify other people's memories."
It's important to know that while psychic abilities can induce hypnosis, even Qin Bai in his current state cannot directly alter someone else's memories.
Human memory is extremely complex and cannot be easily modified unless one possesses a special ability to do so.
At this moment, Qin Bai thought of something. When they were fighting outside, only a clone of Qiao Lianyi died. So where is her real body?
At the time, he didn't think much of it, assuming that Qiao Lianyi's true form would be hidden among the ice corpses. But now that the little one has been taken away, the first person he thought of was Qiao Lianyi.
But if Qiao Lianyi is here, then where is Lin Qin?
Speaking of which, it was the same in the dungeon; he had only seen Qiao Lianyi, but never Lin Qin.
"Perhaps Qiao Lianyi was the one who did this, which means she's right here!"
Thinking of this, Qin Bai frowned.
"Sister Lu, you go stay with the others, and the little one too. I'm going to find Bingxue."
Xia Lulu knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded heavily.
Before leaving, Qin Bai turned the hypnotized person into an ice sculpture.
Before long, he arrived at Bingxue's place. Before he could speak, he heard Bingxue say, "While you were fighting, an outsider came here. Unfortunately, the other party seems to have some means to block my senses."
really!
Qin Bai's expression darkened, and he said, "If that person were close enough to you, would you have been able to notice?"
Ice and Snow's voice carried a hint of smugness: "As long as that person dares to come over, I'll be able to spot them!"
"Okay, I'll gather everyone here, and you can inspect them."
No matter how powerful Qin Bai is, he can't hypnotize everyone in Peach Blossom Spring. However, Bingxue has a strong sense of perception, so sending her to find Qiao Lianyi is the best method.
Afterwards, Qin Bai notified everyone to gather at the ice tree.
This was the first time most people had ever seen an ice tree, and they were all quite shocked, especially when the ice tree opened its mouth.
"Please do not move around. I am here to find someone who is hiding among you."
Ice Tree's voice was very gentle, leaving no room for complaint. One by one, its branches drooped down, touching their bodies before quickly moving on to the next.
Strangely, after she had checked everyone, she couldn't find Qiao Lianyi.
Where did she go?
Qin Bai looked around and suddenly realized that one person was missing.
Where is Tao Yu?
“I remember she was supposed to be resting in her own room.”
Xia Lulu said.
"Call her over, and the rest of you go together."
Qin Bai asked Gu Lang and the others to go and call Tao Yu over, but they returned quickly, their faces showing a hint of anxiety: "Something happened to Tao Yu!"
Qin Bai was stunned. Tao Yu was the princess of the Jun Clan, a max-level expert, and who knew how many hidden cards she had. How could something have happened to her?
"What happened?"
"The moment her room opened, it was as if it connected to another world—a copy! She was trapped in a copy."
Logically speaking, a copy could indeed appear anywhere, but it's a bit strange that it has to be in Tao Yu's location.
"Aside from the instance, are there any other people?"
"I didn't see it."
It's a bit strange that a dungeon, especially one that's already open and can still be entered by others, is like this.
The previous instances didn't have this kind of change.
When he used his psychic abilities just now, he didn't find anyone else in the refuge, which means that Tao Yu and Qiao Lianyi are very likely in this instance.
"Old Gu, I'll be leaving for a bit. I'll leave this place to you."
After giving his instructions, Qin Bai arrived at Tao Yu's room.
He placed his hand on the door, and some basic information automatically appeared in his mind.
This is indeed a dungeon, and a rather special one at that.
Because this copy was brought out by Tao Yu!
This copy is one of Tao Yu's trump cards, which she only uses when her life is in danger, indicating that she is in mortal danger.
This instance will automatically generate a maze. As long as you can find the exit of the maze first and leave the instance, you will get huge benefits.
Of course, if you don't leave the maze, you will face severe punishment, the worst case of which is death!
After learning the general outline of the situation, Qin Bai realized that Tao Yu was in a very dangerous situation.
To be honest, he could easily sit here and wait for them to come out.
It would be best if Tao Yu could come out; if not, he would decisively kill her the moment Qiao Lianyi appeared.
However, if Qiao Lianyi dies inside, Qin Bai will lose a chance to kill her with his own hands.
"Come to think of it, she's already died at my hands twice. They say things don't happen more than three times, so I'm going to see what the third time feels like!"
Qin Bai gave a cold laugh and strode inside.
Once inside, he found himself in a dimly lit cave with burning oil lamps hanging on both sides, emitting a strange smell.
"Is it a maze? Let's go check if there are any traces."
Qin Bai randomly chose a direction and walked towards it.
After walking for about ten minutes, a fork in the road appeared before him.
Qin Bai did not make a choice immediately, but carefully checked some corners to see if there were any marks.
Unfortunately, there were no markings here, which suggests that Qiao Lianyi and Tao Yu likely did not pass through this area.
