Chapter 211 I'm just trying to help you, you silly son.
Meng Yu looked at her mother kneeling humbly before Lin Sui, and tears of blood fell silently.
Her gaze fell on her mother's strangely large belly again, and she hurriedly knelt down before Lin Sui: "Master Lin, I am already dead, it doesn't matter whether you save me or not."
"But I beg you, please save my mother. You said before that there was still hope for her, right?"
Lin Sui looked at her, then at Yang Meiyi, Wu Mingyue, Meng Xiang... and the hundreds of beautiful girls behind them.
They were all forced to become victims of greed during the best years of their lives.
They could not escape their fate of being controlled until death; one wrong step would lead to their annihilation.
Lin Sui sighed and said gently, "I will save your mother. I have no intention of making things difficult for you. Your actions were forced upon you because you were being manipulated."
"I said I could help you break free from the control over you, and I could also send you to the underworld. Right and wrong will be judged by the judge."
The howling stopped abruptly, and the girls stared blankly at Lin Sui, seemingly unable to believe what they had heard.
Do they...do they really still have a chance to be saved?
The girls' eyes were filled with blankness and confusion, yet also contained a hint of hope.
That glimmer of hope ignited a light in their lifeless eyes.
Only now does she regain some of her former innocent appearance.
Without wasting words, Lin Sui directly formed a sword with his fingers and unleashed a scorching sword light.
The black mold that parasitized their souls and constantly threatened them was instantly evaporated by the scorching heat.
The moment the mold disappeared, Yang Meiyi felt a sense of relief she had never experienced before.
Her gaze fell on Lin Sui's face.
This girl looks to be the same age as she was back then, but she is far stronger than her.
Whether it's ability or character.
If only she had met Lin Sui sooner, fewer of the innocent girls behind her would have died.
And her mother, who was also killed by the cave god.
Thinking of this, Yang Meiyi hesitated to speak.
Lin Sui saw through her thoughts: "You want me to avenge your mother?"
Yang Mei hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head: "No, He is very strong, I am not qualified to let you take the risk."
"The source of the power of gods is people's faith, and evil gods can also draw power from faith."
Lin Sui explained, "I deliberately staged this scene tonight to publicly destroy their faith in the Cave God."
"In this way, the power of the Cave God will be greatly weakened, making him easier to deal with."
Yang Mei understood the implication in her words and asked, "Do you need me to lead the way?"
Lin Sui: "No need, you'll only cause trouble."
Yang Meiyi: "..." Master Lin is being a bit too blunt.
Lin Sui didn't care.
What she said was true.
Evil gods feed on the resentment of vengeful ghosts, and Yang Mei's arrival is like a top-quality tonic.
Lin Sui had one more question to ask: "Was it you who was in the Drum Tower yesterday morning?"
Yang Mei was shocked when she heard this.
It turns out that Lin Sui, who seemed to be on the defensive, had actually been keeping track of their movements all along, which explains why they lost so completely.
Yang Mei was completely convinced: "Yes, and there's also the goddess."
Lin Sui was surprised: "Goddess? Who is that?"
“I didn’t know her identity. It was the Cave God who told me that she was a goddess,” Yang Mei said.
Lin Sui frowned and pinched his fingers.
As expected, it's unpredictable.
Lin Sui asked again, "Are you the only one who has seen her?"
Yang Meiyi hummed in agreement: "Probably afraid that you would figure it out, she entered the village late at night and didn't let anyone see her."
Lin Sui seemed to be deep in thought.
She thought she should know who the other person was.
Yu Cinian smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Could it be her?"
"If it really is her, then she's quite good at patting herself on the back," Lu Xiang scoffed.
Si Xingran's focus, however, was elsewhere.
He turned to Lin Sui and asked, "So you knew there was someone in the Drum Tower who made me blow it up?"
Lin Sui shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Damn it! I knew I didn't make a mistake in blowing it up!"
Si Xingran's platinum ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) immediately stood up smugly. He raised his chin at the others and said imperiously, "Hurry up and apologize to me!"
Yu Cinian and the others exchanged glances, then shrugged innocently, "Did we say you were wrong?"
Tangxi: "...Huh?"
Si Xingran: "...Your eyes said it all!"
"Oh, then you can give us a look and see if it agrees?" Lu Xiang raised an eyebrow, her tone cool.
Si Xingran's eyes lit up: "There's such a good thing?"
Li Ye looked at him coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"Gouge your eyes out and make them apologize to me." Si Xingran grinned maliciously, bending two fingers.
Unfortunately, this dangerous behavior was ultimately nipped in the bud by Lin Sui's words, "My heart aches so much."
Si Xingran was unhappy and a little aggrieved: "Aren't you my stepmother? Why won't you help me?"
Lin Sui looked at him with pity: "I'm just trying to help you, you silly boy."
Taking on four at once? Are you asking for death?
Having learned almost everything he wanted to know, Lin Sui didn't delay any longer and began reciting the Rebirth Mantra.
"Mother, take care." Meng Yu's eyes were red as she slowly disappeared from the spot.
Meng's mother watched her leave without blinking until she could no longer see her, then she collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer.
Taking advantage of the fact that the pregnant women carrying evil spirits were all there, Lin Sui threw out a handful of high-temperature talismans.
The talismans seemed to have eyes; they flew towards the pregnant women and stuck to their bellies.
As the high-temperature talisman exploded, their bulging bellies visibly shrank.
As for the corpses scattered on the ground, and the evil villagers still frozen in place, Lin Sui threw out a handful of talisman fire, burning them to ashes.
The raging fire illuminated half the sky, allowing everyone to clearly see that the thick fog that had enveloped the village had dissipated.
Cheng Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, following Master Lin saved my life.
He turned around to share the good news with Cheng Yuexiu, but suddenly froze in place.
Cheng Yuexiu, who had always been with him, had disappeared.
"A-Yue? A-Yue!"
Cheng Feng panicked and frantically searched around, but he couldn't find that familiar figure anywhere.
Lin Sui turned around upon hearing the sound.
All that could be seen was Luo Rulan standing there, looking completely bewildered.
She clearly remembered that Cheng Yuexiu was following behind Cheng Feng, so how could she just disappear like that?
"Master Lin, my brother, my brother is missing!" Cheng Feng searched the surrounding area but couldn't find him, so he rushed back.
He was sweating profusely with anxiety: "You think he wouldn't... wouldn't..."
Could it have been carried away by some black mold that wasn't completely eradicated?
Cheng Feng was extremely flustered; this grown man almost burst into tears.
Cheng Yuexiu came along because she was worried about him. If anything were to happen to him because of this, he would never forgive himself.
Lin Sui hesitated for a moment: "Indeed, there is another place with mold."
"Where?!" Cheng Feng asked hurriedly.
Tang Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then clapped her hands: "I... know!"
"Squad leader, do you want to go take a look?" Yu Cinian asked, while slowly putting away his ghost-headed sword.
The meaning is clear: he doesn't want Lin Sui to go.
Lu Xiang and Si Xingran also felt it was unnecessary.
After all, they could all see that it wouldn't matter whether Cheng Yuexiu was saved or not.
Li Ye pursed his thin lips: "It's very late now."
Lin Sui only slept for a few hours tonight.
Unfortunately, Cheng Feng didn't understand and just looked at Lin Sui with anticipation.
Lin Sui understood what they meant, but still turned around and said, "Let's go."
The mold there is unusual; if it's not cleaned properly, it could cause serious problems.
The villains had no choice but to follow.
Luo Rulan hesitated for a long time before finally staying.
With the crisis in the longevity village resolved, she no longer needed to risk her life by going with them.
The building Lin Sui was referring to was the abandoned stilted house with many strange paper figures that they had visited before.
"Ah Yue! Ah Yue, are you there? Ah Yue!" Cheng Feng called out from the doorway.
Lin Sui thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to give him a heads-up: "You'd better be prepared that the gap between what you think is the truth and reality may be as wide as a galaxy."
Cheng Feng was stunned.
The stilted houses look even more eerie at night.
When the flashlight beam swept across, the paper faces painted with blush looked even more eerie.
Suddenly, the beam of light paused, and Li Ye, holding the flashlight, frowned: "Three paper figures are missing."
Lin Sui looked in the direction of the sound.
The missing paper figures were actually the family of three: the father, mother, and brother.
Lin Sui did some quick calculations with her fingers: "Upstairs."
Li Ye, wielding a vermilion pistol, led the charge, while Yu Cinian, carrying a horizontal sword, brought up the rear.
They slowly went upstairs and soon arrived at the little girl's bedroom on the second floor.
The door was tightly closed, but a warm orange light leaked out from the cracks.
Lin Sui raised her hand to indicate that they should not go in yet, but instead looked through the crack in the door.
On the empty wooden bed during the day, a little girl was lying.
It's the same A-mei in the color photo.
Her cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, as if she had a high fever.
A boy of about thirteen or fourteen squatted beside her and whispered, "I overheard that your father and mother are going to sacrifice you to the cave god..."
Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to hear something and glanced at the door in a panic.
The moment that face turned around, Cheng Feng froze.
The boy's face was still very youthful, yet he was instantly recognizable.
"Your parents are here!" The boy quickly covered the little girl with the blanket. "Don't worry, I won't let them succeed. I will save you, and I will take you away from here!"
After saying that, he climbed out of the window and out of the house.
The light immediately dimmed, and the bedroom returned to its dusty, dilapidated state.
On the wooden floor, a familiar, thin figure lay.
"Ah Yue!"
Cheng Feng suddenly burst through the door and rushed inside.
Just as he was about to pick up the person on the ground, he froze again, stunned, staring blankly at Cheng Yuexiu.
Cheng Yuexiu's face was ashen, as if he had been dead for a long time.
Cheng Feng's mind went blank. He stood frozen for a long time before tremblingly reaching his hand under Cheng Feng's nose.
His legs went weak and he knelt down beside Cheng Yuexiu.
Dead, dead?
His brother is dead?
Tears welled up instantly. Cheng Feng tightly grasped Cheng Yuexiu's stiff hand and cried out, "A-Yue, I'm sorry, I'm too late, I'm the one who hurt you, A-Yue..."
He curled up like a shrimp, burying his head deep in Cheng Yuexiu's cold hands, overwhelmed with grief.
Lin Sui stood behind him, waiting quietly.
Only after his sobs subsided did Lin Sui speak: "His death has nothing to do with you."
She paused, then continued, "In fact, you two shouldn't have had any connection at all."
Cheng Feng took a while to slowly raise his head.
His mind seemed frozen, his eyes, red from crying, filled with confusion: "What, what do you mean?"
What do you mean they shouldn't have any contact?
They are brothers, born of the same parents, how could they not have any interaction?
Lin Sui did not answer: "Now is not the time to talk about these things."
Before Cheng Feng could react, he heard a creaking sound coming from the wooden stairs outside the door.
Then a chilling aura swept over them.
Cheng Feng was startled and asked in a low voice, "Who's here?"
"Who else could it be but the owner of this house?" Si Xingran's eyes were full of amusement.
Lu Xiang squinted: "If they are those paper figures, then they can indeed be called people."
As she spoke, she lightly flicked the whip smeared with chicken blood in her hand, seemingly casually, but actually with a serious expression of readiness.
Lin Sui is already exhausted tonight. If it's something they can handle, then they should do it.
The others clearly thought the same thing, their eyes fixed on the doorway.
Li Ye's flashlight was still on, shining motionless on the floor in front of the door.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
If you look closely, you can even see the subtle changes that occur when a horizontal wooden strip is stepped on.
The area illuminated by the light was completely deserted.
The villains exchanged bewildered glances. Si Xingran bent down and leaned closer to Tang Xi: "Hey, little potato, did you see anything?"
Tangxi shook her head with a tense expression.
It shouldn't be a ghost, at least not someone with the ability to see ghosts.
"I don't like just waiting around like this." Yu Cinian smiled and then took his knife to go out and take a look.
Lin Sui stopped him, saying, "No need, they're here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Cinian felt a chill creep up his spine.
Yu Cinian laughed in surprise, a particularly happy laugh: "You actually chose me? That's truly your misfortune."
As he spoke, he swung his sword and turned around, the ghost-headed blade slashing straight down at a lifeless paper figure.
The paper figure emerged from the wooden wall behind him.
Its two arms were stretched out as if trying to press down on Yu Cinian's shoulders, and its blood-red mouth was also wide open, with dark red mold wriggling wildly inside.
It clearly wanted to bite Yu Cinian, but before it could do so, its two paper arms and head were cut off.
Dark red mold then spread towards the feet of the crowd.
Lin Sui decisively threw out a talisman.
The moment the talisman exploded, the dark red mold and the paper figure it inhabited burst into flames, vanishing in an instant.
"This mold seems a little different from the previous one."
Although the mold only lasted a few seconds from its appearance to its disappearance, Lu Xiang still keenly noticed something was wrong.
Lin Sui nodded: "This family was forced to sacrifice themselves to Tai Sui. The blood, flesh and mold fused together, which is why it turned dark red."
"Why would you choose to be mold instead of a decent human being? Are you really that desperate?" Si Xingran cleaved open the wooden wall with a single stroke, but the other two paper figures were nowhere to be seen.
Lin Sui felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't figure it out.
Just then, the floor beneath her feet suddenly cracked open without warning, collapsing into a black hole about the width of a person.
