If we call this group of people who were just in the carriage and were further away from the blood pool "fresh food".
That batch of bodies might then be referred to as "near-expiry food" that must be consumed immediately.
In the very center of the blood pool, Gu Xinghe saw that the person seemingly "obediently" soaking in it was none other than—
He had just met Anne last night.
Lord of Scarlet.
Before Gu Xinghe could think much about it, this name automatically came to mind when he saw Annie.
Then, as if infected and mutated, a blood-red color similar to that word appeared in his brain.
The crimson color spread at an extremely rapid pace, escaping along his neural network and seemingly attempting to corrupt his entire mind.
However, Gu Xinghe did not show any fear of the gods, nor did he believe that this was a manifestation of the so-called gods being unapproachable.
Instead, this is merely seen as a manifestation of mental pollution caused by pollutants.
The black mist slowly appeared and spread across Gu Xinghe's body, instantly engulfing all the blood.
Nevertheless, a sense of solemnity still lingered in Gu Xinghe's eyes.
Unlike the ordinary pollutants he usually saw, Annie's body seemed to carry something different.
That should be the purest form of pollution, an essence that should not exist in this world.
But the girl in front of him was clearly not someone who had recovered to a high position.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the girl's body was so perfectly suited that she was used as a vessel for some kind of power.
When she has truly matured, that will be the final ceremony to awaken the gods.
In Gu Xinghe's perception, Annie in front of him was clearly no longer a normal human being.
Her body structure was also different from that of ordinary people; it seemed that her whole body contained only blood, without bones or muscle tissue.
No, it should be said that her true form is a mass of blood.
That human skin was merely a personification of her appearance.
Such beings can no longer be called human.
Even when Gu Xinghe tried to listen to Xiang Anni's thoughts at that moment.
He naturally had no idea what she was thinking at that moment.
But somewhat surprisingly, he also didn't hear any eerie, polluting whispers.
All he could hear was the sound of blood flowing continuously, as if blood were truly flowing in the blood vessels of a human body.
But amidst this monotonous and repetitive sound of liquid flowing, Gu Xinghe quickly sensed that something was amiss.
He then quickly and proactively ended the listening session.
Regardless of the form in which pollution appears, its "appearance" is merely a formal carrier, while the spiritual pollution embodied in its content is its essence.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe deeply understood this point.
Shift your gaze away from the subject.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe spotted several very familiar faces among the pile of "near-expiry food" near the blood pool—
He had a friendly deal with Sheriff White and Green, who were with the Sheriff's Department.
Gu Xinghe could still recall that at the beginning of the transaction, the two of them were hesitant to accept the money he offered.
It seems that he was afraid of retaliating against them, which would cause that money to become their final "life-saving money".
But now it seems that despite his adherence to the principle of amicable trade, that money undoubtedly became their life-saving money.
Among those sent were suspects in the case, as well as ostracized sheriffs.
The town's police department undoubtedly has intricate connections with the followers of the Scarlet Lord before them.
As an accomplice in a disappearance in a certain sense, this is clearly why the case has remained unsolved.
In addition, Gu Xinghe discovered that he also saw the other two remaining members of Angell's family in this space—
Angell and Dianger.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but complain in his heart—
The Ingres family truly achieved a harmonious family in every sense of the word, both in the world of their paintings and in the real world.
At this moment, perhaps after being soaked in the pool of blood, Annie finally made a move.
Perhaps because they were blood relatives who had once lived together, Anne's first target after regaining consciousness was clearly her brother.
She grabbed Dean Jie by the neck and lifted him up in front of her.
Her face was flushed with a sickly redness, and the corners of her mouth were stretched into an arc that no normal human being could possibly make.
At this point, Annie was undoubtedly nothing more than a monster in human skin.
Red blood threads emerged from her body, coiling around Dean and sucking his blood.
With this action, the pale, sickly look on Anne's face disappeared, replaced by a rosy glow.
Deanie, perhaps because of Annie's actions, woke up from his coma.
Upon witnessing this scene, Dean did not offer any resistance.
On the contrary, Gu Xinghe could even sense the strange sense of satisfaction that Dean Jie felt after seeing Annie's face become rosy and healthy from consuming his blood.
He seemed to want to raise his hand and touch Anne's face one last time.
However, due to the coldness caused by blood loss, his arm drooped limply along the way.
Finally, Dean closed his eyes contentedly, and Annie, having finished eating, casually tossed him onto the ground.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe seemed to understand something—
