vil finds it hard to get close to him."Whoosh..." A faint sound came from outside. I rushed out to take a look, and saw that the talisman hanging on the curtain leading to the balcony was fluttering s...The slight sound made me instinctively flinch and duck my head.

Just then, a drop landed on the floor by my feet. It was a drop of crimson blood.

I looked up, and in the corner where the ceiling met the wall, about 3 meters high, there was a "person" clinging there like a gecko, staring at me menacingly. Its mouth was open, dripping blood.

"...Mu, Mu Wanchen!" I trembled and whispered, "There's a monster in this room!"

Mu Wanchen swiftly darted in, pressing the door panel's switch. The extending door immediately slid shut.

I hid behind him, he frowned and looked up at the "person" above, saying in a low voice, “This is…a guardian spirit”

"What is a tortoise A lizard"

"Well... the poison from a centipede is quite weak. Using it for controlling people through gu would reduce harm to the body, and things cultivated with gu are very strong in attack. This woman's gu is already deep rooted; removing it would be like losing her life."

Woman

"Is this Xi Linzhou I can hardly believe it..." I whispered.

But her figure did indeed look just like Xi Linzhou's. So thin, with no flesh on her face. Her cheekbones protruded and her cheeks were hollowed out. Her eyes looked as if she had taken medicine, vacant and rolling back in her head from time to time.

She hid there in the crack between the ceiling and the wall, just like a giant gecko.

"Huh... her clothes, why do they look so ragged" I noticed sharpishly that her hospital gown was actually tattered, with several strips of fabric hanging down at the back.

She's in this state, could someone actually take advantage of her

"It's impossible! A normal person would run away screaming at the sight of such a monstrous, otherworldly appearance. Who would even want to take advantage of them That takes some serious twisted taste!"

"This place probably isn't just a simple shelter…" Mu Wanchen frowned and said, "Perhaps it's disguised as a hospital, conducting some underground dealings or secret research."

"Uh... how did you tell"

"There's no doctor or nurse here. I just noticed the details at the front desk—there are no records of patrols, and no one seems to be on duty. Maybe all the staff are hiding behind the monitors watching Xi Linzhou... I temporarily covered up the monitor. Someone will probably come to check soon."

"What are we going to do There's nowhere to run here."

"Just observe from inside the barrier." Mu Wanchen said as he pulled me into his embrace.

He cast a barrier around me, and I watched from afar as Xi Linzhou crouched in the crack between the ceiling. She looked like a wary and injured animal, letting out a low growl at us but not daring to come closer.

Sure enough, someone came to take a look very soon. A white-coated man peeked his head outside the door but didn't dare come in.

Xi Linzhou hid above the doorframe; they were invisible to those outside.

Another white coat arrived soon. The two argued at the door for a while, finally pushing it open.

Only now did I see that they were holding a switch and a rope.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Xi Lingzhou's originally silent low growl immediately turned into a shriek, and his voice was very fierce, as if he wanted to tear the two of them apart!

A white coat immediately trembled and pressed the button in his hand. Xi Lingzhou seemed to have been electrocuted, her whole body jolted violently, and she fell from the crack, crashing heavily onto the floor.

Another white coat immediately used the rope in his hand to lasso Xi Linzhou's neck, then yanked it back with force, like a hunter snagging prey, pulling Xi Linzhou's entire body upward into an arched position.

I can't take it anymore.

This is simply cruel, treating animals like beasts.

"...How long is this thing going to stay here! We're all walking on eggshells around her! Why don't we just let her rot in there" The white-coated man pulling the rope snapped, kicking Xi Linzhou hard in the lower back.

I saw Xi Linzhou being almost strangled to death by them.

The white-coated Bai let out a sigh of relief and comforted his colleague: "This woman was specifically ordered by the superiors to be studied carefully. How could we possibly kill her You need to be careful, if you kill her, who knows what might happen to us"

"Such a monster should be killed. If this were to be thrown outside, it would also be beaten and killed! Why should we keep an eye on it"

“For the sake of funding, just bear with it. It’s said that her research funding came from a Sino-foreign joint institute, one million US dollars! That’s over 60 million yuan in RMB! Our department should have no problem giving each person a bonus of 100,000 yuan this year!”

" "Is there that much I think the head of the hospital, that old woman, will just swallow the biggest piece...Damn it! We're watching over this thing, how scary is that!"

"Though she's terrifying, she's afraid of electricity. Look at that electric collar around her neck – how useful! It was sent by that Sino-foreign joint research institute. Just flip the switch, and she's docile." The white-coated man holding the switch said with a smug air.

"...This woman, if she's sent back into the urn twice more, she'll probably be dead. If she's dead, our bonus is gone, right"

"An earthen jar What is this place" I looked up at Mu Wanchen, puzzled.

My back was pressed against his, and when I looked up, I could see the line of his throat and jaw.

His eyes were cold, his brows and eyes carrying a faint yet deadly aura. The lines of his profile were beautiful yet sharp, making me hesitate to ask what was inside the urn.

"Shh..." He lowered his eyes and glanced at me, his lips moving slightly to form a silent gesture.

"Beep--beep--beep--" A warning-like alarm suddenly sounded from outside the corridor.

"What's wrong!" Bai, taking off his lab coat, immediately picked up the video phone by the door.

Since I've been with Mu Wanchen, my senses have become particularly acute. We don't live far apart, so I easily heard the sounds coming from the phone —

"Get that woman into the vat right away, and seal off all exits and stairwell access! Someone has broken in! It seems they're targeting her! To barge in broad daylight like this...it looks like they want to make a scene! Hide that woman well, I'll handle this as a medical dispute here!" A stern and urgent voice crackled through the phone.

"Yes! Doctor!" the white-coat replied immediately.

They immediately carried Xi Lingzhou out, and I followed with Mu Wanchen. As I glanced at the monitor screen that had just been turned on, I saw several figures appear, including one who was Xi Lingzhou's senior sister—Zhao Jie!

They're here to steal people!

They deliberately came during the day to put pressure on the hospital, right After all, if things get big and exposed, the hospital will lose even more!

"Keep up!" Mu Wanchen pulled me, silently following those two white coats.

A white-coated doctor carried Xi Lingzhou onto a hospital bed, casually hung up an IV drip, strapped him down with a belt, and then covered him with a white sheet before immediately pushing the bed forward.

We ran after them, and they went into the elevator. Mu Wanchen didn't follow in, he stood outside the elevator watching it go down to the basement level, then immediately opened a portal and we rushed through it to another floor.

As soon as we stepped out, a white figure flashed past the corner—they were pushing Xi Linzhou into... into... the dining hall!
