Chapter 218: The Traitor 1
Sang Chu held the card, closed her eyes, and a dazzling magic array lit up instantaneously, bringing her to Fox Spirit’s side.
Seeing the familiar place, Mu Xue was squatting on the ground, digging at the soil with her hands. Just as Sang Chu was about to go over, Sang Jing Wen grabbed her: “Little Sister.”
“Brother?” Sang Chu turned back and looked at Sang Jing Wen in confusion: “Why are you here?”
“I originally wanted to go see Xiao Xue, but found she was missing, so I thought I’d try my luck here.”
Tu You also flew over at this moment. Seeing both siblings here, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief: “It’s good that you’re both here. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. How could Lin Mu Xue run out at such a coincidental time?”
“Let’s not worry about that for now, Brother?”
Sang Chu looked at Sang Jing Wen. Seeing him nod, she quickly conjured three small shovels and then walked towards Mu Xue.
“How long will it take you to dig with your hands?”
Mu Xue paused her digging. Without looking up, Sang Chu and Sang Jing Wen both squatted down and handed her the small shovels.
Sang Jing Wen: “We buried it together back then. If we want to dig it out, we have to do it together, right?”
“Brother Sang Sang”
Mu Xue’s voice was muffled in her throat, very quiet, almost inaudible.
Sang Chu dug at the soil and said softly: “So many years have passed, with acid rain, zombies, and mutated plants, I’m afraid that dog thing won’t even have dregs left.”
Mu Xue dug at the soil with her head down: “Even if nothing is left, he doesn’t deserve to be in the ground!”
Sang Jing Wen nodded: “That’s true. We’re planning to take over Hai Shi. Having this thing in the ground is indeed quite polluting.”
“Mm.”
The three of them dug for a long time, but there was nothing beneath the soil.
Sang Jing Wen wiped the light sweat from his face: “Could the three of us have dug that deep when we were kids?”
Sang Chu: “Who knows? We just wanted to bury it deep enough so no one would find it back then.”
“It’s already, gone.”
Mu Xue placed her hand on the soil. In the soil, she could feel that a corpse had once existed in this place, but now it was gone.
A scene suddenly appeared in her mind: it was a seed, a strange red seed. The seed fell from the sky, entered his body, and instantly took root and sprouted. Then, the corpse disappeared.
Mu Xue was stunned for a long time. Sang Chu and Sang Jing Wen looked at each other: “Xiao Xue, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Sang Chu’s worried face, Mu Xue’s eyes turned red. She put down her shovel, ignoring her dirty hands, and hugged Sang Chu directly: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Sang Chu hugged her back, gently patting her back: “It’s okay, I forgive you.”
“I, I almost choked you to death.”
“Mm, I know.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright.”
Sang Jing Wen looked at Mu Xue, who was crying silently, and Sang Chu, who repeatedly responded to Mu Xue’s apologies. He directly hugged them: “If anyone should say sorry, it should be me, your brother. If I had come back a little earlier, none of this would have happened. Xiao Xue, Sang Sang, I’m sorry for letting you go through such terrible things. It was my fault for not protecting you.”
Mu Xue nestled in Sang Chu’s arms and shook her head gently: “It’s actually nothing. It’s just that I always felt they weren’t dead, so every time I dreamed, I would see them appear. That’s why I mistook Sang Sang, who was sleeping next to me, for those people, and that’s why I wanted to choke Sang Sang to death. When I was in the cultivation room, I saw it, I saw that I had killed Sang Sang.”
“Silly girl, I’m fine. You’re hugging me, your body is warm. I’m not dead, I’m alive.”
“Mm, but I’m having trouble distinguishing between reality and dreams. Those scenes keep playing in my mind. One moment I’m choking you to death, the next we’re being targeted in Zhao Feng’s base during the apocalypse. One moment you’re disemboweled by Lin Shao Qing, the next you’ve turned into a zombie. I, I think I’m going crazy.”
Her voice was very quiet, but it made Sang Chu’s heart skip a beat. She hadn’t expected a mental supernatural ability user to be like this, or perhaps Mu Xue’s ability was special?
However, that wasn’t the main point now: “Xiao Xue, can you tell me how you got out of the formation?”
Although Mu Xue’s current condition was not right, she had at least calmed down. This meant the formation was effective, yet she had suddenly emerged from it!
Mu Xue: “I don’t know who it was. I only remember lying in a very warm place, but a pair of hands pulled me out of that place. It was a man’s voice, and he said that if I wanted revenge, I should leave with him.”
“Revenge?”
Mu Xue: “Mm, that’s what he said. But my enemy is already dead. I’ve already… chopped him to pieces.”
She said the last three words very carefully, but Sang Chu didn’t care at all. She had already seen it once when they buried it.
Sang Jing Wen: “Xiao Xue, did you see anything else just now?”
“A seed. A seed fell on the scattered corpses, and then the entire bag of corpses disappeared.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Could he have turned into a mutated plant?”
Sang Chu: “It’s not impossible, but why would they make Xiao Xue dig up the corpse?”
Mu Xue shook her head. She didn’t know either, she just vaguely ran here.
After thinking for a long time, there was still no answer. Sang Chu gently patted Mu Xue’s back: “Let’s go back to the base first.”
Mu Xue: “No, Sang Sang, the person who let me out must be in the base. If I go back, I’ll alert them. I’ll follow you outside. This person must be found!”
She didn’t want any danger in Sang Chu’s base!
Tu You looked at Mu Xue in surprise. It was the first time he had seen someone remain so calm when an inner demon had taken over their body.
“You, are you alright?”
Mu Xue, sobbing, wriggled out of Sang Chu’s embrace and glared at him: “What could be wrong with me!”
Tu You: “No, your inner demon hasn’t disappeared. How can you maintain your consciousness?”
Mu Xue: “My inner demon almost killed Sang Sang. I thought I had killed someone, I thought I had killed Sang Sang. Before, I couldn’t distinguish between illusion and reality. Even when I saw Sang Sang, I thought I was still dreaming, so I was very distressed. But now, Sang Sang is warm. The Sang Sang in my dreams has no temperature!”
“It can be like that?”
Tu You didn’t understand, his big eyes full of confusion.
Mu Xue: “However, I still have to thank you for your Demon Subduing Array. Although it didn’t completely suppress it, it at least allowed me to distinguish between reality and illusion. Sang Sang, the voice I heard was very familiar. It must be a voice I’ve heard before.”
Although she was still a bit groggy at the time, it was definitely a voice she had heard.
Tu You: “In that case, the scope is huge!”
Sang Jing Wen’s eyes narrowed: “No, the scope is very small. People from Qing Liu City are impossible. Firstly, they wouldn’t know where Xiao Xue was. Secondly, they are not familiar with the underground city and wouldn’t be able to find Xiao Xue precisely.”
Sang Chu: “We can also rule out Ma Ya Ru and Xia Ru. They were under our noses the whole time.”
Tu You: “Why not rule out Xiao Yi Fei and Lu Min Feng? They were with you at the time too?”
