Although the spell on the boy was removed by You, the evil energy seemed to feel fear and clung to the boy, refusing to leave.
You calmly beckoned to me, "Xin'er, come here."
"Okay." I stepped forward and stood beside You. "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid he'll go to you." You reached out and placed a protective array on me before focusing on dealing with the evil energy on the boy.
You didn't know what method you used to slowly force out the energy, which turned into a black, viscous substance.
"This..." I took a step back in alarm.
This black, viscous liquid is alive; it has its own consciousness.
The black blob realized that You was going to harm it, and struggled to escape in all directions.
You gave a cold laugh, "Where to?" After saying that, an object appeared in her hand without her noticing, and You drew the black substance into the magic artifact.
"Is this all right?" I asked as I went to check on You after she had put it away.
"Mm." You nodded.
"What exactly is he?" I was curious about that.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before." You shook her head.
I glanced at the boy lying on the ground. After the black substance left his body, he lost consciousness, and his life force was slowly draining away.
I looked away, unable to bear watching any longer. "You, now that we've captured him, let's go back."
"good."
This time, we didn't linger in the human world and quickly returned to the abyss.
Throughout the journey, I was constantly worried that something might happen to the abyss.
However, everything was as You said, and there was nothing wrong with it.
I breathed a sigh of relief; I was really afraid that when I returned, I would be greeted by ruins.
"I told you everything was alright," You teased, seeing my relieved expression.
I didn't argue with You, but instead asked Feng Su about what happened after we left.
Before Feng Su arrived, You left me behind, saying she was going to study this strange black substance.
"Everything is normal. Liu Lieyu and his men did not launch a surprise attack on us."
"That's good." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, I've noticed something's not right with Guixu lately," Feng Su said cautiously.
"Something's not right?" I immediately became alert.
“In the past, people from the Abyss would flock to Guixu every few days, but now they don’t.”
Feng Su's words immediately caught my attention. Could it be that the Abyss's forces are insufficient?
"What do you think is going on?" I asked Feng Su after thinking for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Su replied, "If it's not that something happened to Liu Lieyu's rear, then it's because he doesn't have enough troops."
“I think so too.” I stroked my chin. “Whichever it is, it is extremely advantageous to us, and we must launch a fierce attack now.”
"Yes." Feng Su also strongly supported the aggressive attack. Feng Su's hatred for Liu Lieyu was the same as mine.
"Master, where is Youyuan? Didn't he come back with you?" Feng Su was puzzled when she didn't see Youyuan.
"You went to research new gadgets."
"What is that?"
I then told Feng Su about the unidentified entity we had discovered in the human world.
Feng Su understood but didn't press the matter, appearing rather uninterested.
"By the way, Feng Su, go and find out why Liu Lieyu and his men aren't mobilizing troops."
"good."
"Report whatever is found in the investigation in a timely manner."
"Yes, Master."
"Go ahead and get busy."
After Feng Su took his leave, I got up to go find You and see what he had come up with.
But I searched the military camp but couldn't find any trace of You. I asked others, but they knew nothing about her either.
I had no choice but to give up and returned to my and You's tent, where I rested and waited for You.
You Yi did not appear for several days, and Liu Lieyu also disappeared.
In the past few days, during our conflict with Guixu, we haven't seen Liu Lieyu again.
Even when I went to the battlefield alone, Liu Lieyu never appeared.
What on earth is happening? I have a feeling that a dramatic change is about to occur in the world.
"Master, Master!" Feng Su called out as she entered my tent.
"What's wrong?" I asked, seeing Feng Su's flustered appearance. "Why are you so panicked? What happened?"
"Master, didn't you tell me to investigate the Ruins of Return? I already know that."
"What happened?"
"Something's happened outside!" Feng Su's expression was far from relaxed.
"What happened?"
"Now, many gods and demons outside seem to have suddenly gone mad. They bite anyone they see, crave human blood, and have become cruel and lewd, just like demons."
"How could this be?" I was shocked. Suddenly I thought of the black substance I encountered in the human world. Could the two be related?
But if that lump of matter controls humans, can gods control it too?
"Feng Su, do you know why these people have become like this?" I asked, frowning.
“I don’t know.” Feng Su shook her head. “I’ve only heard that this kind of phenomenon is becoming more and more common. At first, it was just a few isolated cases, but now most of the gods and demons outside have fallen. Liu Lieyu went back to deal with this because of this.”
"We don't have that in the Abyss, do we?" I immediately thought of the Abyss. If our people also had this problem, it would be troublesome.
“No.” Feng Su shook her head. “Currently, the situation in the Heavenly Court is the most serious, followed by the Western Guixu, which has also been affected. But those of us on the ground are fine, and no such situation has been found in Hell.”
Hearing Feng Su say that, I felt a little more at ease.
"Feng Su, have you been with You these past few days?" The most urgent thing is to find You first.
"No." Feng Su shook her head and asked me incredulously, "Master, you haven't seen You Yuan these past few days?"
I shook my head. "I don't know where he went. He's been missing ever since he said he was going to do research."
"It's estimated that the research hasn't been completed yet; it will appear once the research is finished."
"But how long will this research take? It's really worrying."
“Master, don’t worry,” Feng Su stepped forward to comfort me, “I will strengthen management to prevent the abyss from suffering this calamity.”
"good."
After Feng Su left, I was alone in the room thinking about the changes now and what happened in the mortal world that day.
That black substance also controlled the boy, causing him to bite and kill someone. It's unclear whether it was from sucking blood, but the bloodstains on the teeth could have been from the bite.
"Xin'er, what are you thinking about?" A long-lost voice appeared in my ear.
"You, you're finally back."
"Yes, you're back." Just seeing You Dingding standing in front of me makes me feel at ease.
"Finished the research?" I asked.
"Hmm, almost there." You said, reaching out to hug me.
"Did you know? Feng Su just brought news that something big has happened outside."
"Oh? Tell me about it." You asked leisurely, holding me close.
"Feng Su said that many gods and demons outside, as well as those from Guixu, have gone mad, becoming cruel and lewd, and enjoy eating human blood." I told You all the information I had just learned from Feng Su.
