Unlike the two people in the Zhao Group president's office, Song Mengmeng sensed something was wrong the moment she touched the statue. She didn't even give Hu Yue time to react or ask questions before dragging her away from the building using teleportation magic.
Song Mengmeng moved extremely quickly. The moment she landed after leaving the Zhao Group building, she put the statue into her bracelet.
Hu Yue finally snapped out of her daze and turned to Song Mengmeng with a puzzled look, asking, "What just happened?"
She was genuinely surprised that when she used the invisibility talisman to enter the building, everything was perfectly normal, and avoiding the security guards was no problem at all!
Even the overhead cameras were carefully placed in blind spots, but even so, she almost crashed when she reached the statue.
Before she could even touch the statue, she was overwhelmed by a wave of nausea and panic. If Song Mengmeng hadn't reacted quickly, her invisibility talisman would have malfunctioned on the spot!
If that really happened, she and Song Mengmeng would probably both be stuck here today.
"The problem with that statue." Song Mengmeng's expression wasn't too good either, but it wasn't because of the statue's influence on her. Rather, it was because she sensed the statue's origin the moment she touched it.
She felt disgusted and angry because of the malice and evil behind it!
“Before, I thought these statues were carved! But just now, after I touched the statues, I realized that the material of these statues is real.”
"Really?!" Even though she was somewhat prepared, Hu Yue was still completely shocked after hearing Song Mengmeng's explanation.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Song Mengmeng: "You mean, all those so-called guardian statues we saw at the Zhao Group were... were made from real people's bodies?!"
If this is true, then how many lives were sacrificed by the mastermind behind the creation of those idols?!
"Yes." Song Mengmeng nodded, crushing the last glimmer of hope in Hu Yue's heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are a total of eighty-one statues of child deities in that building! That person used some kind of evil magic to create these statues, with the aim of creating a Yin-gathering array that could defy fate!"
"I've heard my master mention the Gathering Yin Formation before. It's said that if this formation is activated, all living beings within a radius of several hundred miles will be forcibly sacrificed!"
If this is true, then once this great formation is activated, everyone in Baiyue City and the surrounding areas will likely be doomed!
"No, I have to notify the higher-ups immediately. No matter what, we can't let this formation continue to harm the world!"
Hu Yue's first thought wasn't anything else; in her view, since this Yin Gathering Array would bring such terrible results, wouldn't it be better to just destroy it?
As long as those statues can be destroyed, the Yin Gathering Formation will naturally be unable to be activated!
"It's not that simple! These eighty-one statues are all extremely yin and evil objects. The reason they haven't caused any trouble in the Zhao Group Building yet is simply because the Yin Gathering Array hasn't been officially activated!"
If you order your men to rush in now, the evil cultivator behind it will recklessly activate the great formation. Anyone who gets close will not only have their lifespan instantly drained, but will also become a puppet controlled by that person's sinister energy!
Song Mengmeng shook her head, reached out and grabbed Hu Yue, who was about to make a phone call, stopping her impulsive act.
"What should we do?! We can't just stand by and watch the Yin Gathering Array be activated, can we?!" Hu Yue was really anxious now.
If such a thing were to happen, it would be an immeasurable disaster for the entire nation!
A city, millions of people, all murdered just like that...
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
"Don't worry, we still have time." Song Mengmeng gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, reassuring Hu Yue, "We took one of the statues, so the Spirit Gathering Array can't be activated for the time being!"
Even if that evil cultivator can produce another spare statue to fill the hole, it will take at least three days for the disrupted yin energy to return to normal!
In these three days, we should be able to come up with a solution!
If I still can't figure it out, then I'll just find a way to sneak in and steal another one! Anyway, things aren't completely hopeless yet. You need to calm down. If you panic now, who will figure out how to solve this predicament?!
Hu Yue was taken aback by Song Mengmeng's words. Although she still couldn't completely calm down, she was no longer as anxious and out of control as before!
She thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said to Song Mengmeng, "Alright, now is not the time to talk nonsense or panic! When I get back, I will inform my superiors and my master, and ask them to think of a way to ask the elders of various sects to see if there is any way to break this evil formation!"
"Okay." Song Mengmeng nodded, and this time she didn't stop her anymore.
It was already quite late, so the two of them didn't linger by the roadside enjoying the night breeze. Instead, they quickly hailed a taxi and soon returned to their guesthouse.
After breaking up with Hu Yue, Song Mengmeng went straight back to her room without stopping.
Upon seeing Yan Di, she completely lost the composure and calmness she had shown in front of Hu Yue. She threw herself at Yan Di with a pitiful expression, complaining fiercely, "My hand hurts so much! Ouch!"
As the little girl recounted everything that had happened to Emperor Yan, she held out her palm to show him! Perhaps because she had spent too much time talking with Hu Yue on the way out of the Zhao Group, the red marks on her palm were now barely visible.
Despite the obviously awkward situation, Emperor Yan adapted very well. He took the little girl's soft, white hand, solemnly looked at it for a while, then gently blew on it, and then kissed it tenderly before coaxing her softly, "It's alright, it's alright, blowing on it will make it stop hurting."
Emperor Yan's solemn attitude made Song Mengmeng, who was deliberately acting coquettish, feel a little embarrassed.
She wasn't actually seriously injured; she just instinctively wanted to rub against her big beast when she saw him, but she didn't expect it to make him so nervous and worried.
The little girl shifted shyly in Yan Di's arms, blinked, wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzled against his chest, and whispered, "Snip~"
