"Tomorrow I will go to Lin Wei and Daoist Xuanzhenzi to discuss this. Xiao Jiu, you need to find out some information about the Netherworld Sect, the more detailed the better."
"good."
Qiqi happily raised her hand, "What about Qiqi? What will Qiqi do? Qiqi wants to help too!"
"Your best care is the biggest help you can give." Huo Yuwei put a piece of pork rib on her plate. "Here, eat more and get better soon."
Qiqi pouted, her big eyes darting around, but she still obediently started eating.
After dinner, Huo Yuwei and Huo Yusen planned the bait scheme in detail in the study.
Qiqi was taken to take a bath by Madam Ji, and then went to bed early to rest.
Late at night, the Huo family villa was quiet.
Qiqi lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.
She took out the rag doll containing the three spirits of the messenger from her small bag and gently squeezed it.
The doll's eyes blinked, and a faint voice came from within, "Little girl, let me out."
"No way," Qiqi whispered. "You're a bad guy, you have to be punished."
“I can tell you secrets, many secrets,” the three envoys’ voices were full of temptation, “about the true purpose of the Netherworld Cult, about the identity of ‘Zero’.”
Qiqi hesitated for a moment, then said, "If it's true, Qiqi can consider getting you a more comfortable 'house'."
The three envoys remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, before finally speaking.
"The Netherworld Cult collects living souls not for sacrifice, but for 'creating gods'."
"Creating a god?" Qi Qi was taken aback.
"Yes, the cult leader has developed an ancient forbidden technique that can fuse pure souls to create a 'perfect vessel' with divine power."
The three envoys' voices grew softer and softer, "Then, the leader will transfer his consciousness into that vessel and gain immortality."
Qiqi was horrified. "So those children will be..."
"Their consciousness will be erased, leaving only pure soul energy to nourish their new bodies."
The three envoys sneered, "It's cruel, isn't it? But this is the price to pay for the pursuit of immortality."
Qiqi's face turned bright red with anger, "You guys are so mean!"
"Bad? Hehe, after you've lived for hundreds of years and watched the people around you grow old and die one by one, you'll understand how tempting immortality is."
The voices of the three envoys gradually weakened, "Little girl, I've said everything I needed to say. Now, can you move me to another place?"
Qiqi thought for a moment, then took out a small glass bottle from her bag and transferred the soul from the doll into it.
A talisman was affixed to the glass bottle to ensure that the soul would not escape.
"Is this much more comfortable?" she asked.
From inside the glass bottle came the muffled voices of three figures, "A little better than a doll, but still too crowded. Little girl, could you…"
"No, you deserve it." Qiqi snorted and put the glass bottle away.
As she lay in bed, recalling the words of the three envoys, she grew increasingly uneasy.
If the Netherworld Cult is truly "creating gods," then their goal is not simply to collect living souls.
They must be stopped as soon as possible!
Just then, a slight noise came from outside the window.
Qiqi sat up alertly, slipped out of bed silently, and hid behind the curtains.
Through the crack, she saw a dark figure moving quickly in the garden, heading straight for Hoyson's room!
There are bad guys!
Qiqi's heart raced instantly, but she forced herself to calm down.
She can't use her spiritual power right now, so a direct confrontation is definitely not going to work.
Oh, and the alarm system!
She crept up to the wall and pressed a hidden button.
That was an emergency alarm that Huo Yusen had specially installed for her, which connected directly to the security system of his room and the entire villa.
Almost at the same time, a piercing alarm sounded!
The villa's lights came on instantly, and security personnel poured out from all directions.
Seeing that things were not going well, the dark figure turned around and tried to escape, but it was already surrounded.
Huo Yuwei and Huo Yusen also rushed out, and their faces turned grim when they saw the man in black being pinned to the ground.
"Who sent you?" Huo Yuwei asked coldly.
The man in black gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Huo Yusen crouched down and searched his body, finding a cell phone and several tools.
The phone was encrypted, but that didn't stop Huo Yusen.
He quickly cracked the password and checked the recent call logs.
One of the numbers made his pupils shrink.
“Big brother,” he looked up, his voice trembling slightly, “this number… belongs to second uncle.”
Huo Yuwei's expression changed drastically. "What?!"
Huo Mingyuan, the second uncle, was from a collateral branch of the Huo family. He had always been dissatisfied with Huo Yusen, the five-year-old heir to the family head, and had made many attempts to trip him up, both openly and secretly.
But unexpectedly, he dared to collude with outsiders and turn against his own family!
Qiqi also ran out of the room. Seeing this scene, her little face tensed up. "Brother Xiao Jiu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Huo Yusen shook his head, but his eyes were cold. "It seems that some people can't wait any longer."
Huo Yuwei clenched his fist. "We have to tell Grandma about this."
Old Madam Huo was soon alarmed as well. When she saw the arrested men in black and the evidence Huo Yusen had found, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
"You bastard! You dare to lay a hand on your own people!"
"Grandma, don't be angry." Huo Yusen calmed down instead. "This matter has given us an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Huo Yuwei asked.
Huo Yusen looked at Qiqi, a cold smile that seemed out of place for his age, and said, "Since someone is so eager to get rid of me, then we'll play along..."
A bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.
The night was still deep, but the Huo family was destined to have a sleepless night.
Meanwhile, in a luxury mansion in Beijing, a middle-aged man stared at his unreachable phone with a gloomy expression.
"Useless! Can't even handle a five-year-old child."
He stood up, walked to the window, gazed at the stars in the night sky, and muttered to himself, "It seems I still have to take matters into my own hands!"
***
The atmosphere at the Huo family villa was unusually heavy the next morning.
In the restaurant, Old Madam Huo sat in the main seat, her face ashen.
Madam Ji sat anxiously to one side, glancing occasionally at Huo Yusen, whose expression remained calm.
Qiqi sat in her high chair, sipping her milk, her big eyes darting around as she observed everyone's expressions.
"Grandma, please don't be angry." Huo Yusen put down his chopsticks, his voice calmer than a five-year-old's. "I already have a plan for Second Uncle."
Looking at her grandson's precocious appearance, Madam Huo felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Xiao Jiu, you are still so young. You shouldn't have to bear all this."
"I am the head of the Huo family, and this is my responsibility."
As Huo Yusen spoke, a resolute look beyond his years flashed in his eyes. "Moreover, this matter may not be as simple as a family feud."
Huo Yuwei frowned. "What do you mean?"
“I checked all of my second uncle’s communication records and financial transactions over the past three months.”
Huo Yusen took out a tablet computer from his small briefcase and discovered that he had been in contact with Zhao Tianxiang, and more than once.
Qiqi's spoon fell to the table with a "clatter." "Second Uncle knows that bad guy?"
