Fortunately, the box the curator found did indeed contain the sailor's soul. Xiao nodded. There was another box in a corner of the theater. This way, they could find Vanan's soul.
However, I cannot return to the ship for the time being. There are three scattered souls here. Ha, the Yaksha's soul can actually be divided into ten parts. I never thought that a sage's soul could be divided into so many parts.
Aside from the three parts on the ship, there are also three parts in this chaotic area, and six more parts scattered throughout this forbidden land. If the forbidden land ends, will it mean that the souls of the vanguard will never be complete? In that case, the vanguard will be incomplete and will not remember itself.
Xiao gritted his teeth. The theater doors were closed, perhaps because it wasn't time to open yet. Xiao walked to the door, where a wooden sign displayed the opening time. However, there was no clock, and Xiao couldn't find anything to show the time, so he had no choice but to sit in the tavern.
This caused great distress to the tavern owner and the customers, who were terrified that this murderous god might destroy the tavern if he became unhappy.
"When does that theater over there open?" Xiao's patience was slowly wearing thin, and he grabbed the customer closest to him and asked. "I...I...I...sir, probably in the evening, soon, soon..." the customer stammered, but at least managed to get the information out. Xiao impatiently put the customer down and told himself to take it slow, don't rush, don't rush.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, until Xiao and Pu Yuan had both poked a hole in the ground, the theater door finally opened. Xiao got up and left the tavern.
The theater had just opened, and the interior was decorated in a magnificent and opulent style. It was filled with monsters with fish heads and human bodies. Most people looked at Xiao with curiosity. Although they had seen humans before, they had never seen anyone so beautiful.
However, they all had work to do, so they only glanced at it briefly before going on with their own tasks.
There were many rooms, and monsters were coming and going in almost every room. Xiao caught one of the monsters and asked, "Do you know that there is a box containing a soul in this theater?" "I...I...I don't know." Perhaps Xiao was too intimidating, because both the people and monsters staring at him trembled. Xiao put the monster down in annoyance and looked around at the huge theater, which even had a second floor.
No wonder the old ghost said it was somewhere; in such a huge theater, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He closed his eyes and sensed it; the karmic obstacle seemed to throb faintly. Xiao abruptly raised his head, cold sweat streaming down his face, gasping for breath. He had sensed the location of the obstacle, but there…
There is a lot of resentment. So, why is there so much resentment?
It came from upstairs. Xiao had just reached the second-floor stairwell when he was stopped.
"Second floor, restricted area, all unauthorized personnel please leave." Two fish-headed, human-bodied monsters, wielding somewhat rusty tridents, blocked Xiao's path. Their dead fish eyes were fixed on Xiao. Xiao took a deep breath and flashed Pu Yuan's light.
Looking at the exquisitely crafted He Pu Yuan, and then at the trident they had been holding for who knows how long, the two monsters swallowed hard in unison, but still gritted their teeth and stopped Xiao. "Even if your weapon is powerful, you still can't go up without a pass."
"Get out of the way." Xiao shouted, and a powerful aura emanated from him. The two monsters were momentarily disoriented, and it seemed as if they were surrounded by mountains and seas of corpses. The dark red sky dyed the earth. At the top of the mountains and seas of corpses sat a person. His face was not clear, but what they could not forget were his golden, glowing eyes that shone brightly against the dark red background.
The two monsters suddenly snapped out of their daze, but Xiao was nowhere to be seen. They looked back, but still no sign of him. Thinking they had been hallucinating, they realized there hadn't been anyone there at all. Shaking their heads, they dismissed the thought and dutifully returned to their posts.
With each step forward, Xiao's karmic burdens grew heavier, and his eyelids became even more swollen. However, he could feel the distance slowly shortening. With difficulty, Xiao raised his head and clearly saw the words on the door: Storage Room.
Huh? How come an ordinary storage room is on the second floor? And according to the guards on the first floor, the second floor is a restricted area, so this storage room should contain more than just miscellaneous items.
Perhaps, it's just a smokescreen.
The door to the storage room was locked. Xiao exerted a little force, and the rusty lock opened. Inside was a box emitting black smoke. Xiao stumbled over, grabbed the box, and hugged it to his chest, stroking it as if to comfort it.
There seemed to be another box next to it, which looked very similar to the box that contained the sailors. Xiao hugged it in his arms and stumbled out of the theater.
After leaving the theater, Xiao returned to the old ghost's tombstone and gave the box to the old ghost. The old ghost nodded, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a mound of earth in front of an inconspicuous tombstone suddenly crumbled, and a small box flew out and stopped in front of Xiao.
Under the weight of double karma, Xiao's rationality was almost completely consumed. At this moment, Zhongli's shield emitted light, and Xiao instantly became much more clear-headed. The karma of the two boxes in his arms seemed to be soothed. Xiao took a deep breath, bid farewell to the old ghost, and returned to the ship.
"Lord Zhongli." After returning to the ship, Xiao handed all the boxes to Zhongli. Zhongli nodded, his divine power enveloping the boxes. The orbs of light inside contained Vanan's memories. Watching those orbs disappear into Vanan's body, he asked, "Lord Zhongli, how is Wendy?" "His condition is still not good, but it's relatively stable now, with no other signs." Zhongli sighed.
No one bothered to attack the tower. There was still one last soul in that chaotic area that hadn't been collected. Xiao nodded, turned around, and entered the sea to retrieve the last soul from the chaotic area, and then search for a way to restore Wendy.
In the chaotic zone, at the theater, the theater owner trembled as he looked at the violently opened storage room. The box that had exuded an ominous aura was long gone. The monsters around him whispered among themselves, still terrified of that box. Back then, whoever touched it would go mad, either committing suicide or turning into a mindless monster that would kill.
Finally, a brave soul sacrificed himself to seal the box in the storage room on the upper floor, but now someone has actually taken it out! What are we going to do now? This box is a huge hidden danger. If it's not found in time, the entire chaotic zone will become even more chaotic!
