Qiu Shui felt a surge of bitterness in her heart. This shocking secret was choking her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Taking out her bracelet, she quickly located the special brainwaves recorded in Heian-kyo and searched for their source within the glass jar.
While she was saddened, a sliver of joy also rose in her heart.
All of this indicates that the Snow Woman is still alive!
She really got to see her!
Her daughter...
The system searched for a long time and finally located the brainwaves to a place not far from here.
Upon seeing the location, Qiu Shui followed the clues and ran towards it, her pace quickening until she finally stopped in front of an ordinary-looking glass jar.
She stopped abruptly, her arm dropping to put down the bracelet. Qiu Shui's gaze fell on the bottom of the glass jar, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She dared not look up, dared not...
After a struggle within her, she finally slowly raised her head to look at what was in front of her.
Inside the transparent glass jar, a pale-faced, bloated girl with half her face tanned brown came into view. Her hands were tightly clenched together, and her body was bent like a shrimp.
The moment Qiu Shui saw her, her heart trembled violently, and then an indescribable heartache welled up inside her.
"Yuki-onna! Yuki-onna!"
Qiu Shui gently rushed to the glass jar and called out softly.
The girl in the glass jar seemed to be asleep; separated by the glass, it felt like a different world.
Is this really a snow woman...?
"Snow Woman, it's my father... I've come to see you..." Qiu Shui's voice choked with emotion.
"Open your eyes and look at your father..."
With her palm limp on the glass jar, Qiu Shui lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
Just then, the brainwaves marked on the bracelet suddenly reacted.
"Snow Woman? Snow Woman?"
Qiu Shui looked up with delight, and the little girl's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Can you hear my voice? It's my father," Qiu Shui asked softly.
Inside the glass jar, the girl's few short eyelashes twitched again.
After the movement, the eyelashes, which had long since turned black and yellow, slowly detached from the girl's eyes and floated in the liquid.
"ah……"
Tears welled up in my eyes again; she really was a snow woman...
Qiu Shui was heartbroken.
In Heian-kyo, her Yuki-onna is radiant and beautiful, always accompanying her like a cold beauty, leading the entire clan to resist danger time and time again.
In reality, she was a tormented child who lived in putrid liquid all day long, like a corpse.
How could this be her daughter?
She couldn't reconcile the radiant snow woman of Heian-kyo with the pitiful, bloated girl before her!
But this is her girl...
How could she have become like this?
"Snow Woman, Father is here. Don't worry, daughter, Father will take you away..."
Qiu Shui clutched the glass jar helplessly, tears falling to the ground. Inside the jar, a faint, living glow appeared on the girl's face, and the corners of her lips gently turned up.
"Wait a little longer, your father will get you out soon," Qiu Shui said, wiping away her tears.
She has to save her daughter!
Qiu Shui took a few steps back, carefully surveying her surroundings with eyes as sharp as an eagle's, searching for what was draining the children's spiritual energy.
Before she even began to speculate about what was happening, she had a feeling that this was the power of witchcraft. No other power could achieve this effect.
These glass jars are still operating, and these children are still alive, so there must be a witch here!
With a determined look in her eyes, Qiu Shui secretly gathered the "witchcraft" power within her body, preparing for a tough battle.
At that moment, a dark figure entered from the factory entrance, its form moving swiftly and ghost-like through the glass jars.
At the same time, the obese girl inside the glass jar seemed to sense something, and the deep wrinkles on her face twitched slightly.
A few seconds later, she began to move slightly, astonishingly, as evidenced by the black shards that kept appearing in the glass jar.
At this moment, Qiu Shui was not far from the glass jar, and the bracelet reminded her: "The target of the search - the brainwaves have fluctuated significantly in a short period of time, and the frequency is high. Please check as soon as possible."
Qiu Shui turned around and saw the girl's enormous body in the glass jar move slightly, as tiny as if she had been gently shocked by an electric shock.
However, as a result, many, many pieces of rotting flesh fell from her body, which made Qiu Shui feel heartbroken.
"Doesn't it hurt? What happened?"
Qiu Shui retreated and stood in front of the glass jar, asking a question.
The girl in the jar did not speak, nor could she speak. The frequency of her slow movements increased slightly, but Qiu Shui could not perceive the change with his naked eye.
"What's wrong?"
Qiu Shui asked again.
It's too late...
Do you want to know?
A male voice suddenly appeared behind her. Qiu Shui turned around sharply, her mechanical gun pointed precisely at the dark figure that had appeared behind her.
"Who are you?!" Qiu Shui asked coldly.
This is a witch.
"Weren't you looking for me?" The shadowy figure's red lips twitched, looking extremely ferocious. "I'm here."
He drawled out his words.
"So you're the culprit behind all this?" Qiu Shui activated all her protective gear, her eyes warily fixed on the dark figure.
"Hehe, you can think of it that way."
The shadowy figure grinned, and dust and sand fell from its body. This time, the shadowy things on its body dissipated, revealing its true appearance.
Perhaps it was contempt, but after glancing at Qiu Shui, he slowly walked toward the tall glass jar behind her.
"Don't come any closer! I'll shoot if you do," Qiu Shui said coldly, pointing the gun at him.
The man paused, stopped in his tracks, and turned his gaze to the glass jar behind her.
Did she ask you to come here?
He asked casually, his gaze fixed on the glass jar, somewhat obscure, his pale fingers trembling slightly, as if touching something.
"What a good child. If she weren't a child, she might have become a qualified witch."
The man said in a regretful tone.
"witch?"
Qiu Shui's heart tightened.
"That's right, didn't you know? I thought you knew your 'family' very well! It seems you're not so great after all!"
The man looked at Qiu Shui with a mocking gaze and said mercilessly, "Do you think you would have found me on your own if it weren't for her? That's quite a useful ability, isn't it? Voice transmission, not bad, really not bad..."
As the man spoke, he approached Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui raised the gun again.
"It's a pity that nobody uses recorders anymore, not even voice recorders. Otherwise, she might still be of some use."
As he spoke, the man clenched his fists.
With a cracking sound from his hand bones, all the tiny data on Qiu Shui's smart glasses went to zero!
"What did you do?!"
At first, Qiu Shui didn't react for a moment, but when she did, she was already furious!
He flicked the ring off, and several bullets flew toward the man opposite him. The man nimbly dodged backward while laughing loudly in mid-air.
