This time, the images were exceptionally clear, so detailed that as the deceased looked around, they could see every item on the table by the window.
Various needles and threads, fabrics, paints, wood, cosmetics, jewelry, and so on.
As their gaze shifted, they noticed that the woman was wearing white clothes, which resembled mourning attire.
Then, clear footsteps sounded.
A tall, slender man dressed in white slowly walked over. He knelt down in front of the woman, revealing his gentle, smiling face.
Everyone was shocked: "The Holy Son Mingxi!"
The person who appeared in front of the woman was none other than the Holy Son Mingxi.
Mingxi gazed tenderly at the woman, as if looking at someone outside the screen, his eyes like sticky, sweet honey.
He gently raised his hand, and touched some part of the woman's body, causing her to let out a soft moan.
There was fear, there was sorrow.
"Don't be afraid."
Mingxi's extremely gentle voice came out as he took the woman's hand.
Xunfeng paused, his gaze lingering: "What's this?"
On the woman's hand, thin, colorful threads stretched down from her arm and embedded themselves in her fingertips.
The threads at the fingertips were dyed red, resembling nematodes that devour life and depend on the human body, or the strings that suspend a puppet.
Extremely bizarre.
Mingxi gently stroked her hand and said:
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anymore. You've left them. They gave you to me, and with me, I won't let you feel pain again."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Mingxi leaned closer and hugged the person in his arms.
"This is our auspicious day. The contract is complete, and you will be free from suffering."
Girl, go to sleep, go to sleep…
The sound gradually faded, and the screen gradually turned black until it disappeared.
Those outside the screen knew that this woman would never wake up again.
The caged bird put away its spirit and said:
"It is certain that the Holy Son bestows wealth upon traders in exchange for taking women."
Several months ago, two groups of villagers conspired to attack the Holy Son. The identities of these two groups are currently unclear, but they failed. The Holy Son subsequently lost his powers and was banished from the village.
Xunfeng's expression changed slightly, and he slowly said, "In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances..."
The women of the entire village are merely bargaining chips!
Tian Tian's expression changed drastically; her teeth clenched, and her eyes blazed with anger.
"I'm going to kill them!"
This village has no right to this so-called holy son! He shouldn't even exist!
The caged bird said in a deep voice, "Calm down. Don't forget our mission."
Tian Tian gritted her teeth, turned her head to the side, and stopped talking.
Xunfeng looked at Li Jie and the other two and said, "I have compiled all the important information. Share it with them immediately."
————
Bai Xie has already shared all the spoils from both teams.
Hua Changle stood there, frozen, without reacting for a long time.
Mingxi's gentle gaze and smile flashed by, and his affectionate eyes looked at her, reminding her of the look in his eyes when he killed that woman. She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Mingxi, what do you really look like?
White Evil Path:
"Although the Holy Son is currently suffering from amnesia, it's hard to guarantee that his true nature won't change, or that he might suddenly regain his memories at any time, affecting everyone, especially the girls..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yaoqi, Luo Weiyin, and Hua Changle:
"Be sure to keep your distance from him."
Lu Yaoqi and Luo Weiyin nodded immediately, but Hua Changle was in a dilemma.
Mingxi has become obsessed with her, and it's hard for her to distance herself from him, especially since he's the target of their mission.
My head hurts!
Bai Xie had already come up with a plan for her: "Have Kulei follow you."
Hua Changle frowned: "But Senior Kulei is also a woman, so she could be in danger too."
Bai Xie casually said:
"It's okay, they just have the same number."
Hua Changle: "..."
It seems there's nothing wrong with it.
Wait! These two are right next to us...
Depend on!
Isn't she the most dangerous one?
Isn't this like being caught between a rock and a hard place?
Hua Changle's face turned green.
Is she here to overcome her romantic tribulations in this broken secret realm?
"I will divide the group into teams later. In the days leading up to the Golden Toad Festival, each team will take turns patrolling and scouting the area. Any discoveries should be shared with the mission group immediately."
The rest of the time, everyone prepare for battle.
Bai Xie then looked at Xing Liu of the Infinite Team: "Xing Liu, you have an extra task."
Your special ability is your eyes, right?
Xing Liu nodded.
His special ability is [Eagle Eye].
Its function is just like its name suggests: to enhance all visual attributes, including farsightedness, night vision, color resolution, and spatial imaging capabilities.
In the Infinite Team, his role is scout and marksman.
Bai Xie said, "I suspect that Ming Xi may have hidden those missing women. Keep a close eye on them and try to find them, even if it means finding their bodies."
Xingliu nodded: "I understand."
Hua Changle raised his hand and said, "I can also try to probe Mingxi indirectly."
Bai Xie glanced at her: "No way."
"Why?"
"You're too stupid; you'll be exposed too easily."
Hua Changle: "..." So annoying!
Kulei chuckled and whispered in his ear, "He's worried you're in danger."
Hua Changle immediately shut down: "Okay."
She's so easy to please...
In the days leading up to the Golden Toad Festival, life was so peaceful that one almost forgot they were in a secret realm.
Mingxi didn't do anything alarming; he just followed Hua Changle around like a big puppy every day.
