Chapter 137: Sister, I finally found you!
“Little Feng~”
A serene voice echoed in Xia Feng’s mind from the Blood-Eye Mask, as if it were a ghostly whisper from the endless Underworld, or the ethereal sound of a goddess from the horizon.
The voice, seeming to come from both near and far, made Xia Feng’s scalp tingle for no reason, and he subconsciously threw the mask away.
“Clunk—”
The mask, which the bloodworms could not devour, landed softly. The blood-red light on the mask flickered, adding a sinister atmosphere to the dim room.
“What the hell?” Xia Feng’s heart was filled with suspicion. The voice from the mask was very familiar. It was Sister Yi’s voice?!
Wait, who was Sister Yi? He covered his forehead and pondered for a moment before remembering the gentle, smiling figure of a girl that had appeared in his memory when He Jianzhu had touched his forehead.
That girl seemed to have always been with him when he was still a stupid child before awakening his past life memories, and they had relied on each other since childhood.
Perhaps it was before he was 14 years old.
But why would her voice be in this mask? Xia Feng narrowed his black eyes, staring thoughtfully at the eerie mask on the ground.
Could it be that she was sealed in this mask? Xia Feng shook his head, thinking it unlikely. This mask was standard equipment for members of the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall; everyone had one. this situation was more like—
‘Sister Yi’ had sealed her voice in the mask?
And in all the masks!
If this guess was correct, then Sister Yi was likely a high-ranking official in the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall?
And this voice… Xia Feng largely understood. This voice was most likely only audible to him. If everyone who received a mask could hear it, it would be too strange.
Considering this possibility, Xia Feng hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist his curiosity. He wanted to know more about this mysterious girl. In his hazy memories, Sister Yi was a very gentle elder sister.
He took a deep breath, bent down, and placed his hand on the mask, pressing it down.
“Hehehe~ My good little brother, I finally found you~~~”
The serene female voice came again, but this time it was inexplicably terrifying. It felt like a female ghost clinging to his spine, her icy lips whispering at his ear, making him terrified.
“Huh? Was my heavenly secrets really shielded?”
“I clearly sensed you, why can’t I locate you?”
“Little Feng~ Where are you~~ Where~~ Are~~ You~~~”
“Thump—”
Xia Feng threw the mask away, his face stiffening. “Damn it, goodbye.”
He had initially harbored the idea of finding this mysterious girl and recovering his memories, but now it seemed… unnecessary.
Completely unnecessary!
Just by the sound of her voice, he could feel the terrifying and perverse nature of this woman.
It was best not to interact with her easily, Xia Feng shook his head. “I still have important matters to attend to.”
Guided by the sense in his heart, he walked to the window and pulled back the curtain. Through the glass, he could see a boundless sea of green flowers outside.
In the center of the sea of flowers stood a European-style castle made of semi-transparent glass, surrounded by the floral expanse like a fairytale.
According to Miss Jian Zhu’s candle-light sensing, the Holy Solution was somewhere around that castle.
To sense it precisely, he would need to get closer and narrow down the search area.
“Sizz—”
Just then, an electronic screen suddenly lit up on the right side of the bed inside the room, and an impatient male voice came from it: “Granny Ding, I heard you’ve brought Xia Feng here? I’m warning you, don’t you dare eat him yourself. He’s someone important people want! Hurry up, change his clothes and send him in.”
“Did you hear me?!”
“Coming,” Xia Feng mimicked Granny Ding’s voice, saying softly as he looked around. Beside the electronic screen, there was a handle that seemed to open a door into a more interior space. And in the wardrobe in the corner hung several white uniforms.
He quickly put on a uniform, kicked the Blood-Eye Mask under the bed, tidied his clothes, and pressed the handle.
After opening the door, Xia Feng was surprised to find a pure white corridor outside. On both sides of the corridor, countless doors were being opened one by one, and men and women in white uniforms were walking out from them. Most of them were women, aged from eight to forty-eight.
After exiting their doors, these people were all heading to the right.
Xia Feng moved with the crowd, his expression unchanged. Soon, he passed a tall door that led into darkness.
The next moment, the lights in the room lit up one by one, and a bright light dispelled the darkness, illuminating the entire hundred-meter-long corridor ahead.
On either side of the corridor were hundreds of hibernation pods marked with bright red serial numbers, filled with dark green hibernation fluid.
And submerged within these dark green fluids were countless naked human bodies.
However, these humans were more or less incomplete. Some had their limbs severed, becoming living human statues, while others had terrifying burn scars on their faces. Not a single one was intact.
They all kept their eyelids closed, floating silently in the center of the hibernation fluid, and the dark green fluid encasing their bodies seemed to have a miraculous effect, slowly repairing their physical injuries.
!
Xia Feng noticed that among these humans, there were also scattered厄兽 (calamity beasts).
As Xia Feng passed hibernation pod number 41 with the crowd, he looked up.
The monster inside resembled a humanoid, but it was two meters tall.
It was naked and hunched over, its body covered in explosive red muscle masses. Its pale, messy hair was scattered like a haystack over its shoulders and neck. Its round red eyes stared blankly ahead, appearing dead. However, a scorpion-tail-like white spike extending from the back of its head seemed to sense something, and was violently striking the glass of the pod.
“Bang—Bang—Bang!!”
No one outside paid attention to the monster’s movements. Xia Feng’s gaze shifted, and he noticed a silver plaque below the pod, which displayed information:
[White Scorpion Calamity, Two-Eyed Grade, possesses astonishing strength, sensitive to light sources. Even after death, its biological tentacles will automatically attack enemies based on light sources. The biological tentacles are highly poisonous.]
[Note: During mating with humans, biological tentacles secrete pheromones, which have a strong aphrodisiac effect.]
Xia Feng frowned upon seeing the note, and a bad feeling surged into his heart. Could this place be so perverse?
At that moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He turned around expressionlessly and saw a woman with a haggard expression. Her voice was calm.
“Are you new here?”
“You can tell?” Xia Feng was surprised.
“Very obvious,” the woman looked at the people around them and said calmly, “After being tormented here for a long time, people become like them. You seem very out of place.”
Xia Feng also looked up and realized that everyone here had a blank expression. They moved mechanically like walking corpses, showing no emotion no matter what was happening around them.
“You have Zaiye’s aura on you. Do you know Wen Zaiye?” the haggard woman suddenly said.
“Wen Zaiye?”
Xia Feng naturally remembered this person. This man was wanted by the Black Moon Holy See and had fled into the Mi Jia Calamity Realm in Yuanhe Town. It was also because this man was lingering in Yuanhe Town that Mu Qingtong found Yuanhe Orphanage.
Thinking about it, he nodded. “Yes, I know him. What’s wrong?”
“Is he still alive?” the woman asked, her expression somewhat nervous.
