Cheng Shuang sat on the steps, resting her chin on her hand, summarizing what she had learned over the past few days.
"First, once the maintainers appear, they should be immediately sent to a petri dish to grow bigger. Second, the vines will also devour the human-headed fish. Third, the human-headed fish and the vines seem to be not interfering with each other for the time being." Her entry into the underground world and her encounter with the vines were clearly the deliberate doing of that old lady called Sister Xu.
Was Sister Xu afraid that she would save all her companions, so she used the vines to completely eliminate this troublesome woman?

Seeing that her sister Juan was slightly relaxed, Cheng Shuang quickly took her hand and shook it gently.
Liu Juan smiled. She had the mental fortitude to handle this. Homeless people were scary, but humans were just as scary. So why not see who was scarier!
