Chapter 1317 Can You Help Me Hide My Identity?
"There are a lot of people guarding the area, including inside. I never knew what was behind the screen. But..."
As if afraid that what he said was useless information, he continued quickly, "I was locked up in one place and raised since I was young. Not only me, but also many children of my age.
We practiced together, learned disguise techniques together, and learned all kinds of things in preparation for any mission.
If there are any disobedient people among us or those who die during the cultivation process, they will become nourishment for that person and be devoured.
The children were afraid of being devoured, so they could only study and practice desperately."
When he mentioned this, he was obviously scared, and even his eyes were shaking uncontrollably, but he spoke these things out like pouring beans, as if he had been preparing for this day for a long time.
Yun Guiyue frowned.
"Did you see those children being devoured? Or did you hear about it?"
"I heard that there were masked men in there who would watch over us. Every time someone disobeyed, they would take them away. Then they would come back and tell us that the children had been devoured. Those children never came back, so we naturally believed them."
"It is indeed true."
"What?"
The man even thought he had misheard Yun Guiyue's voice, but he didn't expect Yun Guiyue to repeat it again, "This is true, I saw him eat a person, and the person he ate was the original owner of this inn."
The man thought of something and said quickly, "Oh right, there are many people like this shopkeeper in the imperial capital. Their role is to earn more spirit stones and then send them all to the palace for that person to absorb."
Yun Guiyue was thinking.
There is so much spiritual energy in this imperial capital that he could not absorb it all in several lifetimes. However, when he entered that day, he did not feel that person absorbing spiritual energy.
So it is very likely that the person can only use other methods to improve his strength, and cannot do it like a normal person.
If so, who could this person be?
"Um..." Seeing that Yun Guiyue had no intention of speaking, the man interrupted her thoughts with a timid look in his eyes.
"I've told you everything you asked, girl. I really have nowhere else to go. The entire Ninth Continent is in the clutches of that man.
I've thought about it, and the only one who can help me is you. Can you... help me hide my identity?"
Yun Guiyue came back to her senses, "What's the rush?"
The man quickly said, "What else do you want to know? Just ask, I'll tell you."
"What's your relationship with that ghost doctor? The ghost doctor is also that person's employee, right?"
"Yes, the ghost doctor mainly helps him find souls to devour, probably to increase his own strength."
"Your ghost language..."
"We learned it when we were first trained. Oh, and there are people there who are specifically trained to speak ghost and demon language. They don't look like humans, they should be ghosts and demons."
"May I have your name?"
A moment of sadness crossed the man's face. "I... I don't have a name. To help us better adapt to our assigned roles and complete our mission, we only have numbers. I'm number 324."
Yun Guiyue nodded and waved her hand. The handsome young man in front of her became more refined, but not as clear and clean as before. Instead, he looked a little gloomy and a little sick.
