Transforming into the wind, Wendy followed the contestants from the Star of Illness out of the palace and arrived at the door of a huge house.
The house didn't even have a single window, and there wasn't a crack in the door either. Wendy was now in a very difficult situation.
While the Sick Star contestant opened the door, Wendy slipped inside first.
"It seems a breeze has blown in. Abbott, are you sure there's nothing wrong?" A sickly young man with gray hair looked at a girl with long red hair. The girl, named Abbott, chuckled, "Don't overthink it, Cappai. If we hadn't found her and handed her over to Ruixue, do you think she would have survived?" Abbott looked ahead, where a beautiful woman lay quietly in a huge pool of blood.
The woman had a head of red hair, which was scattered in the pool of blood, even more striking than the color of the blood. There was a dot in the center of her eyebrows, her lips were purple, and her face was delicate but pale. Her red clothes were tattered, revealing her slender waist and fair skin. The black stockings she wore were already worn out.
“Abbot, do you think she’ll really obey our orders?” Capi was still a little worried. Abbot sneered, “We saved her. If she’s not going to work for us, then we’ll take her life. Mar, do you think she’s awake?” The woman called Mar nodded. Although she had blue hair, her frail body and delicate baby face made her the kind of woman who would evoke pity in anyone who saw her.
Mar walked to the woman's side, checked her breathing—it was still there—and pried open her eyes. Her pale purple eyes were still unfocused. He opened her mouth; it was dry and parched. "Abbot hasn't woken up," Mar replied. Abbot scoffed, "So many people have died, and she still hasn't woken up." "But her muscles are very strong from being soaked in blood. If she wakes up, she can be used as a human shield."
Abbott nodded and said, "Let's go. There's nothing left here. Mar, you stay and check on this person. If anything seems amiss, let us know immediately." "Yes, Princess Abbott." Mar nodded and watched Abbott leave.
Wendy transformed into a chibi version in the corner. Although she appeared as a wind sprite, her face was Wendy's small face. Looking at the woman in the pool of blood, Wendy sighed inwardly.
I thought that Fanan was already in a terrible situation, but it turns out that Yingda wasn't much better off.
It is estimated that after death, his body was abandoned in this small world. Because of his karmic burdens, no small animals came to eat his body. Finally, he was discovered and picked up by the contestants of the Star of Illness.
Then, seemingly realizing that Yingda was not yet dead, they used words to bewitch Ruixue and nurtured Yingda with the blood pool, intending to turn Yingda into cannon fodder or a pawn for them.
Wendy transformed into human form, her little leather shoes stepping on the iron floor, and walked towards the pool of blood.
"clatter."
"clatter."
"clatter."
The rhythmic sound made Mar tense up. There shouldn't be anyone else in this secret room, so how could there be a second person?
"Smack."
"Smack."
"Smack."
The clapping was rhythmic. Mar turned around and saw a boy staring at him expressionlessly. "You did this to my lover's family. You truly live up to the name of your planet," the boy said, reaching out to Mar. Mar was horrified to find that her body was out of her control, and the boy had grabbed her neck.
She tried to break free, but Mar found that she had no control over her body and couldn't even speak. "Sigh, I still can't bring myself to kill you. How about this, we'll take you as our hostage?" The boy smiled slightly, and Mar nodded.
Alas! When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
"That's a good girl." Wendy let go, and Mar immediately knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
Wendy walked to the edge of the blood pool, stretched out her hands, and chanted a series of awkward little incantations. A gentle breeze enveloped Yingda, lifting her body up. Wendy turned to Mar and said, "Get out." Mar tried to run, but couldn't move. "Please, have mercy, sir," Mar pleaded, her ability to think ceasing in terror.
Wendy shook her head. The wind ripped the door open, and the next second, Wendy was back beside Xiao, along with Mar.
"A street performer!" The moment Wendy landed, Paimon shot into her arms like a cannonball at near-perfect speed, his face streaked with snot and tears, his outstretched hand slowly lowering. "I'm so sorry, I dragged you into this, boohoo, you're back! How are you? Are you alright?" Paimon, recognizing Wendy's fragrance, began to shower her with concern.
Wendy shook her head and said, "Oh dear, Paimon is so worried about me, the Traveler will be jealous~ Hehe, don't worry, I'm fine, and besides, I brought someone back, look." Wendy kicked the dejected Mar at her feet, "This is Mar, the contestant from the Star of Sickness."
Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately moved far away from Mar, fearing that some terrible virus might find him at any moment.
"Where's Xiao?" Wendy turned to look at the sky. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao appeared beside her. After confirming that Wendy was alright, Xiao looked at the unconscious woman on Wendy's back. "Yingda!" Xiao called out Yingda's name almost immediately. Wendy handed Yingda to Xiao, and Xiao's wind elemental power probed into Yingda's body.
Xiao shook his head, indicating that Yingda's health was really bad, but it was a miracle that he was still alive.
“Her soul is still intact, but she remains unconscious,” Wendy said, then turned his gaze to the trembling Mar.
The flying sprite, the short boy who could teleport, and the boy with twin braids who could teleport all made her feel despair.
How do I fix this? How do I fix this?
Is it too late for me to surrender now?
Wendy flashed an adorable, flawless smile and crouched down to look at Mar: "Big sister, why hasn't my friend woken up?" "I...I don't know, don't kill me, don't kill me!" Mar waved her hands in terror, tears welling in her eyes, as if they would spill over at any moment.
Wendy was stunned for a moment, and Xiao said, "If you don't want to die, tell us everything you know."
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?!" This completely terrified Mar, and she spilled everything like beans.
After listening, Wendy realized that Xiao's karmic troubles were stirring again; his eyes were bloodshot and his brows were furrowed, which made Wendy very worried.
