"Hey, were you guys captured too?"
"Oh my god, there's someone here?!" The old woman was startled by the voice.
The sudden sound startled both of them. Because the cells in the basement were all dark, and all the light came from the lights on the stairs, they couldn't see who was opposite them in the dimly lit cell. At most, they could only see a blurry figure.
"Hehe~ Don't be afraid, actually I'm just like you, I was captured by them." The person on the other side suddenly spoke again.
The master and the old lady now knew that the person opposite them had also been captured, so they were no longer so afraid. But just as they were about to talk a few more words, they suddenly heard someone coming down from above the basement, and then the lights in the cell were turned on.
Mu Xiaoyi slowly came downstairs, munching on a carton of yogurt. She first greeted the three people who were locked up: "Hi, good morning." Then she observed their expressions.
After seeing that the person who had been locked up in solitary confinement for several days still ignored her, Mu Xiaoyi turned to look at the two newcomers. However, the two newcomers seemed to be very afraid of her, looking at her with terrified eyes.
"Oh, what are you all afraid of me for? Don't be afraid, I won't eat you, what's there to be afraid of?"
Mu Xiaoyi smiled at the two people and pointed at them, saying, "By the way, you probably don't know where this place is, do you? You who cast the curse, as someone who studies metaphysics, you should know about the metaphysical management department, right? This is our place, so you should know what your fate will be, right?"
The master had initially thought he had been captured by a monster, but upon hearing this, he understood that he had been taken to the law enforcement department, as the metaphysical circle called it. That was great, though; at least he wouldn't be eaten by a monster.
"I know, I know, haha, comrade, I know I was wrong, please let me go."
The master understood, but the older woman wasn't part of this circle, so she didn't know what was going on. She tugged at the person next to her and said, "What do you know? I don't understand any of this."
She felt flustered when she saw Mu Xiaoyi smiling, and all she wanted to do was leave this place as soon as possible.
The master understood what the old woman was afraid of, and he whispered to comfort her, "It's alright, don't be afraid. We're basically in jail now, so that monster shouldn't come to kill us."
The older woman was a bit confused, but since the only person she could trust was the master beside her, she calmed down considerably.
Just then, more people came down from upstairs; it was Xiaobaicai, Bai Xinyu, and a few others.
Xiao Baicai came down carrying several steamed buns. As soon as he got down, he said, "Sister Xiaoyi, did you bring them any food when you came down?"
Although they were 'in jail', they were still provided with food. Xiao Baicai was worried that Mu Xiaoyi, who was the first to come down, hadn't brought them any food, so she brought them some breakfast herself.
As soon as Mu Xiaoyi saw other people coming down, she made way for the two newcomers to be seen. She said, "Oh dear, I came down in such a hurry that I really forgot to bring any food!"
Little Cabbage smiled and said, "Sure enough, I guessed it would be like this, so I brought it down."
"Oh, Cai Cai, you're so thoughtful." Mu Xiaoyi pinched his little cheek and smiled.
Bai Xinyu walked to the front, and Yinni followed behind her, saying, "Xinyu, why are you running so fast? If you're going to interrogate them, at least eat your breakfast first."
Bai Xinyu said irritably, "We can give the one on the other side first, but I think the other two don't need to eat. They're going to be sent away anyway, so why waste food?"
As she spoke, she leaned over and looked at the two people very seriously, her expression as if she were observing something.
After hearing her words, Little Cabbage hesitated, looking at the food in her hand, and asked, "Are we leaving soon? Should I give them more food?"
Because these two are to be handled by people in the metaphysical circle, someone will come to pick them up later.
Ye Dongfeng found his conflicted little expression amusing. He reached out and took the things from Xiaobaicai's hands, then tossed one to the shop owner they had caught earlier, saying, "This person is bait, he'll definitely eat them. But the people over there don't need to be eaten, they'll be sent away this afternoon, so we can save some money."
After listening blankly to Ye Dongfeng's words, Little Cabbage said, "Oh, I understand. Let's save some for ourselves then."
