Qin Luo felt that even after being locked up for so many years, her romantic mindset hadn't been cured at all.
He deliberately teased her.
"Wow~ My brother didn't kill me, he just slowly dug my brain out with a beetle, he must love me very much!"
Mu Ran…
"He kept me locked up like livestock, and wouldn't even let me take a bath. He must have been afraid I'd drown in the bathtub. Ah! He really loves me!"
Mu Ran…
"Am I right, Sister Muran?"
Mu Ran…
Qin Shilu couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
"No wonder you didn't kill him just now! So he's still in your heart. Let me guess what was in the purse you burned? It wasn't the hair you cut when you got married, was it? 'Tying hair as husband and wife, love and trust unwavering!' Wow~ How romantic! Isn't it, Sister Mu Ran?"
Mu Ran felt like she wanted to crawl into a hole after hearing what she said.
"Please stop talking!"
"How can we not talk about it! Such a great love should be celebrated! Marriage, children, imprisonment! And you still love him after all that, you're really something!"
Mu Ran was still thinking of defending Wu Zhe
"He locked me up for a reason. After part of my crystal core was taken from me, I went crazy. He was afraid I would get lost, so he did it..."
Looking at the ultimate love-obsessed person in front of him, Qin Luo felt it was time to administer a strong dose of medicine.
She looked at Mu Ran with a serious expression.
"The moment he took you away from here, it was for the crystal core in your brain, not because he fell in love with you at first sight!"
"Then why didn't you attack me from the beginning?"
Qin Luo pointed to the metal box, and only after touching it did she understand.
Why are superhumans thrown into the altar after death? This box is a gathering place for resentment.
It can trap the resentment of the deceased, preventing them from turning into vengeful ghosts and seeking revenge in the town!
"Because they were afraid of failure, that iron box didn't contain the key to open this realm at all, but rather the resentment of the superhumans who died after their crystal cores were taken from them!"
Mu Ran stared at the iron box in disbelief.
"Impossible! Superhumans can choose to self-destruct, why would they willingly be dug out!"
Qin Luo immediately retorted, "Then why were you willing to be devoured? Why didn't you just self-destruct?"
Mu Ran was a little dazed upon hearing this.
"He really never loved me?"
"No, you were just one of their many test subjects. They didn't expect your superpowers to be so strong when you gave birth! So they could only put on an act for you, making you think how much he loves you and how much he protects you!"
"Then why does he always keep his hair on his chest?"
"Because if you pay attention to the details, you can often turn the tide at the crucial moment, and in the end you couldn't bring yourself to kill him, right?"
Mu Ran was completely distraught after hearing this, and Qin Luo reached out and hugged Amo.
I was afraid she might accidentally drop the child!
"You've suffered for so many years, your love-struck brain should have cleared up by now. Look at your child, thankfully he didn't inherit your superpowers, otherwise he would have been dragged into experiments too!"
Mu Ran looked at the sleeping Amo. He was still so young, and because he was her son, he was disliked by everyone.
Her grandmother loathed him even more, and cursed him on her deathbed.
If Wu Zhe hadn't still had some conscience, Amo would probably have starved to death long ago.
Thinking about this, she seemed to have truly understood, and she began to cheer up.
"What should we do? Is there any way we can leave here?"
Qin Luo didn't answer her question, but instead looked at the sky that was gradually brightening.
"The sun has risen!"
Mu Ran thought she was afraid the townspeople would come looking for her.
"Don't worry, the holy water they drink contains all sorts of supernatural abilities. Those young people who drink a lot can't even come out during the day!"
"Why?"
"Because many superpowers are mutually exclusive, and since they are not mutants, they cannot control them on their own. For example, the wood element will become more and more abundant when exposed to the sun, while the fire element will become more and more volatile. If the energy in their bodies surges and there is no crystal core to suppress it, they will die!"
"So they stay around the crystal core during the day?"
"Yes, before, with me at home, Wu Zhe could stay at home during the day, but now he's probably gone to the crystal core!"
Qin Luo couldn't help but recall the day Amo bumped into her, and Amo said he would take her to see his father.
"No wonder! I was wondering why I hadn't seen any young people in town for days. When I first met Amon, he said his father was at home. At first, I wondered if he was a child born late in life!"
Mu Ran was amused by her words.
"Use your little brain to think of a way for us to get out!"
Qin Luo was somewhat at a loss for words. In fact, when she first heard about the country of Laiyi for the second time...
He had some doubts, and wavered when Mu Ran went to get the iron box, but when he took it himself, he was completely certain of one thing!
But she wanted to confirm it one more time, so she placed Amo on the stone bed, stood up, and looked out of the cave.
It's almost eight o'clock now!
Mu Ran also looked over.
"More or less!"
Then, Qin Luo saw the sun, which had just reached the horizon.
It rapidly ascended into the air, instantly illuminating the entire earth.
She was now absolutely certain that the people here were not human.
They were once human, but they died thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago!
It's just resentment at play, causing them to repeat the events of their past lives over and over again.
The source of this resentment should be Mu Ran.
Because when she touched the box, the resentment inside tried to devour her.
Mu Ran touched it but it bounced off; she could even freeze the iron box.
She didn't know if revealing the truth would cause Mu Ran to go berserk or insane.
But if she doesn't resolve the issue, she'll be trapped here forever!
She let out a long sigh and slowly opened her mouth.
"Mu Ran, the place I traveled to is Pingzhao Kingdom. I've never heard of Laiyi Kingdom there!"
Mu Ran still couldn't figure out why she said that.
"You're from another country? You must have been traveling for a long time! Laiyi is a huge country; I spent many years exploring it and still couldn't see it all!"
Qin Luo wasn't sure if she had amnesia or was pretending, so she spoke directly.
“You may have been dead for many years, and everyone here is dead! You are all souls. The reason you don't hate Wu Zhe is because your resentment is also in that box…”
Mu Ran found this statement hard to accept, and her head began to ache.
She writhed on the ground in agony, dark red blood gushing from her seven orifices—this was her frozen moment before death.
Qin Luo watched as she gradually revealed her ghostly appearance, yet the realm remained completely undisturbed.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Amo on the stone bed.
"It's you. You are the true master of this domain?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Amo revealed his true form.
"Why did you have to expose me? Why can't you live here with us? I promised him I would fulfill his dream! Why did you have to ruin it!"
He no longer resembled a child; rather, he no longer resembled a human being.
He transformed into a monster, a bull with a white head.
It has only one eye located in the center of its head, and a snake-like tail!
