The system processed the information for a few seconds before stammering, "What do you mean?"
Su Chen narrowed her phoenix eyes: "Do you think the villains in a world would stay at home doing research every day instead of going out to cause trouble for the male and female protagonists?"
Ning Wu scratched his paws. "[Impossible... This system watches Mo Yun every day. His daily timeline is very simple! It's just a monotonous routine of waking up, eating, refining medicine, and sleeping. So...]"
Su Chen said with certainty, "So the real villain in this world is not Mo Yun."
[The main system couldn't possibly give the wrong message.] Ning Wu then pulled up the character relationship chart sent by the main system again and showed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen shook her head and said, "The main system wouldn't release wrong information, so what if the person we contacted is the wrong one?"
...
A few days ago.
A certain brothel.
A man in black slipped inside and saw a man in a blue robe kneeling on the ground in an elegant room.
"Master, there's been a rumor circulating in the city lately." The man in black looked up and, seeing that his master didn't react, continued, "It's said that the young master of the Lu family who moved out when he was young is... a demon."
"Oh?" The man in blue finally reacted. "Has there been any movement from the Lu residence?"
"No," the man in black replied respectfully.
The man in blue absentmindedly tapped the hole with his long, slender index finger. "Have you found the person who spread it?"
"Reporting to Master, they are new medicine slaves of the Mo family. There is very little information available, and they are not of our kind."
"The Mohist school?" The man in blue clenched his slender fingers tightly. "Is that person a demon?"
"Reporting to Master, it is a demon, judging by its appearance, it should be a cat demon."
"A cat demon?" The man in blue chuckled, his expression shifting.
The man in black kneeling on the ground felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this laughter.
The master laughed? I remember the last time the master laughed was when he tore the Lin family patriarch apart by chariots... Thinking of the tragic scene at that time, the man in black couldn't help but shudder.
The man in blue turned around and ordered, "Give that kitten some extra help."
"Master, how far do you want it to go? Do you want someone to die, or to suffer a fate worse than death?"
"Just make sure that young master of the Lu family can't stay here any longer."
"Yes." The man in black accepted the order and disappeared into the night in a flash.
A gust of cold wind caused the blue robes to flutter, exuding an ethereal charm. Yet, the owner of these blue robes possessed captivating, upturned eyes, and the smile playing on her lips was even more mesmerizing.
Her rosy lips parted slightly, and she asked in a slightly troubled voice, "Why hasn't the kitten come to redeem me?"
...
[Su Chen, this system has read through the entire novel from beginning to end, but I still can't figure out which other villains there are.] The system was very anxious.
[Because of his exceptional talent, Mo Yun was highly regarded by the Mo family head from a young age. He spent his days refining pills and medicines, but at eighteen, under the guidance of a master, he learned to concoct Gu poisons. His family regularly kept several medicine slaves for him to test medicines on.]
[However, as you've seen, it seems humans aren't very resilient. Some die after just one try of the drug, while others, unable to bear the pain, commit suicide by hitting their heads against a wall. Over time, the number of drug slaves has decreased. Mo Yun's childhood friend, Li Yue, enjoys catching a few monsters to play with in his spare time.]
Do you still recognize Li Yue? She's the one who locked you in the water dungeon.
Su Chen gritted her teeth, "I know him, of course I know him! Just thinking about that devilishly laughing makes me want to punch him."
The system continued: "The only bad thing the villain did to the male and female leads was allowing the demon horde to attack them."
Su Chen hurriedly interrupted, "Wait! The demon horde is attacking the male and female protagonists? When?"
