When Dean and Angel had their argument, and Anne spoke up for her father instead of taking his side, why did Dean look so surprised?
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe began to ponder why he had felt something was off about Annie when they first met, and the reason for her current state—
Perhaps, Angell was searching for a treatment for his daughter Anne.
They inadvertently came into contact with the Crimson Lord and his followers.
The knife that killed Qi Kangle was undoubtedly something they gave to Angel to improve the efficiency and utilization of blood absorption.
At that time, Gu Xinghe felt that the treatment method was quite ominous.
It now appears that Angell may have used that knife to kill many of the missing persons.
They transferred their "blood and energy" to Annie, creating the illusion that her body was slowly healing and becoming healthier.
However, perhaps while Angel was treating his daughter's illness and searching for his missing wife, he learned that Mel had been in contact with Mia before her disappearance.
Clearly, Angell's wife, Melie, was more important to him than his daughter, Anne.
This led Ingres to conceive the idea of stealing the painting "Warm Sunshine," and resulted in the rather bizarre death of Qi Kangle.
After witnessing Dean's complete death, Anne's attitude towards others became far less "refined."
She didn't even pay much attention to her father Angel's body.
At this moment, threads of blood, as if alive, surged from all over Annie's body and attacked those who had entered the blood pool, lay on the ground unconscious.
The blood vessels continuously absorb the nutrients contained in these no-longer-fresh foods.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe guessed that this might be the reason why the previous kidnappings only involved hitting someone in the back with a club, but not using any sharp weapons.
This is because it will not cause any waste of blood, nor will it cause them to die from excessive blood loss en route.
After all, the ability to produce blood gradually disappears after a person dies, and Annie clearly prefers "fresh ingredients" that are alive.
Under the control of those blood-red threads, each body was like a puppet manipulated by Annie.
Their fresh blood flowed continuously into Anne through that linear channel.
Under this "indoctrination," Annie's body became like a bottomless black hole, swallowing all the blood it absorbed.
However, her figure did not show any swelling during the process, and she still looked petite.
The only sound that Gu Xinghe heard was the sound of blood flowing through her body, which grew increasingly deep.
