Yes, some people may not be able to understand that there were neither forests nor prey along the way, so how could they be reduced to cannibalism?

But on the continent of Terra, the so-called forests and prey...are really not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

Even the natives of the giant sequoia forest who have settled in Nanling for hundreds of years faced the lush jungle after their decline and found it difficult to obtain enough prey. When they were extremely hungry, they could only eat people.

What's more, these refugees have no tools or skills?

Ian knew very well that in the ancient earth, once this kind of escape occurred, there would often be tragic results in which only one of twenty families could survive.

Along the way, he was accompanied by bandits, tigers and wolves, and was treated as a formidable enemy by the villages and towns along the way. Even if a city wanted to accept him, how much could he accept?

Every inch of the land in Nanling is soaked in the blood of the pioneers. This is a romantic statement, but a more practical statement is that every inch of the land here is owned by its owner.

And in late autumn, it was the 'trophy' that Baron Ryan got when he wiped out a refugee settlement.

An unrecognizable child whose legs and right hand had been eaten away, and whose left arm had been slashed with a knife.

According to the prisoners, the child's parents took the initiative to offer Moqiu in exchange for other people's food, but because they had more meat, they were eaten by the exiles first.

Mo Qiu saw with his own eyes that his parents who abandoned him were eaten, and he even had his hands and feet cut off alive, and he was almost thrown into a pot to make soup... If the baron hadn't arrived at the last moment, Mo Qiu wouldn't have been alive. If eaten, they will bleed to death.

"Young Master Mo Qiu's injuries... are difficult to heal. The master is not short of Taller. He bought many regeneration potions for Young Master Mo Qiu. But in my memory, these regrown hands and feet can only be used for a period of time. After that, It will fade away.”

"I originally thought that this was because Master Moqiu had a strange ability, so the regeneration potion could not take effect..."

"This result is indeed correct... In fact, the regeneration potion cannot be effective, because Master Mo Qiu really has spiritual power that affects the body, and the hands and feet that Master Mo Qiu once grew..."

Steward Moda came to a remote corner on the second floor, in front of a dark room door, where the word 'Moqiu's Room' was written in slanted but serious left-hand handwriting.

A weird, preservative smell emanated from behind the door.

The old steward couldn't open the door, and he didn't dare to open it.

Ian took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the door that was already connected to the wall.

The room behind the door is more like a biological alchemist's specimen laboratory than a room.

There is a dazzling array of things inside, all of which are soaked in preservatives or extremely expensive nourishing extracts, ‘human body parts’!

The nourishing extract is different from the spiritual nourishing extract. It only requires a plant with vitality or biological fluid to extract. However, a jar still costs more than a dozen talers, but there are several placed here. Ten jars, all filled with various internal organs, limbs, and even slices of brain.

Among them are adults, old people, and naturally... there are also children.

Ian frowned. He could tell that some of the relatively 'fresh' children's specimens had been stored for no more than a week.

He thought of the missing people in Jinye Town and the next town, as well as the missing children...

For a moment, there was a fire burning in my heart.

It seems that Mo Qiu's ability is related to his lost limbs and the 'body' itself.

"What on earth is this bastard Baron Ryan doing? Wraiths, memory rewriting, physical-related psychic powers, and the skull of the prophet's echo... He's not really going to resurrect his child, is he?"

——The material of the soul, the psychic power that records memories, the psychic power that reshapes the body, an unknown psychic power, and a skull that can create echoes...

Plus, the Baron’s own broken arm…

It seems that the elements for resurrection have been gathered!

Ian was thinking in his mind, but Sister Yingguang on the side warned: "Be careful, suppress your anger, and don't crush the wall."

"Steward Moda is an ordinary person and cannot bear the aftermath of our power."

Realizing this, Ian turned his head and looked at his right hand, which was pressed against the wall and covered with gloves.

His fingers had sunk deeply into the solid rock wall, carving out five deep holes.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Raising his hand, a stream of dust particles flowed from the holes in the stone wall. Ian was silent for a while, then shook his head and said softly: "It seems that the mind can be calm, but the body can still get angry."

But there is nothing we can do, so how can we not be angry?

Whether it was the behavior of Mo Qiu and Yi La, or the person who caused them to be like this.

Even, the land itself.

Ian was deeply... angry about it.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

After taking several deep breaths, Ian glanced at Steward Moda, whose body was already crumbling.

He knew that this impact was still too great for an old housekeeper who had always thought that he was taking care of three lovely children.

He and Sister Yingguang looked at each other, and they both nodded, and then Ian said: "I know where Linda's room is, so I don't need Moda to lead the way... take a rest."

For ordinary people, these scenes are too exciting. If you use the game terminology of the previous life, the SAN value will almost disappear.

If it continues, it will really kill people.

"No."

But the old steward still raised his head. His eyes were a little hazy at the moment, as if the flesh and blood limbs in the late autumn room were still shaking in his brain.

But he still managed to hold on, and smiled to himself: "I have actually imagined it for a long time - where did the bones and human skin in Master Ila's place come from? I just thought about it..."

"As for Miss Linda...actually, I don't need to go."

Standing up straight, the old steward shook his head and said softly: "Because I didn't take the initiative to find Miss Linda."

"Miss Linda... was sent here by a group of black people wearing black robes with no identifiable identity."

"Just three years ago, Miss Linda who was sent here couldn't even speak and was almost an empty shell - it was Master who taught Miss Linda how to speak little by little... and made her seem like a human being of."

"That's it!" "That's them!"

Ian and Ying Guang spoke simultaneously, their eyes met, and they immediately understood that this was the real key.

The first two children can only let Ian and Yingguang know what the source of the series of strange things that happened around Ryan Territory is, and who did these things.

Then, the man in black who appears here in Linda is the real source that caused Baron Ryan, who originally lost his wife and children, to step into darkness and fall into the abyss!

Whether it was Ila or Mo Qiu, or Linda after that.

These three children who all possess 'psionic powers', and even the baron's parent-child who has turned into a spirit, are probably all created by these men in black!

And their purpose...

【echo】

The word came to Ian's mind.

This is the only possibility.

Those men in black were probably not the mountain cult that Sister Yingguang was following, but they did do things that even cults might not do, and their true identities were most likely related to the emperor...

Of course, this is just a guess, and Ian is not sure at all.

So he asked Sister Yingguang to take care of Steward Moda, who was already a little overwhelmed, and went to the third floor alone.

Third floor, Linda's room.

As usual, after opening the door with force, Ian entered the little girl's room full of pink tones alone.

Because he had seen it once before, Ian didn't see anything strange in this ordinary girl's room.

There is no flesh and blood, no bones, and no curious things.

There was nothing except a piece of paper on the table.

But that's all that matters.

Ian stepped forward and picked up the note solemnly.

There is only the handwriting of the girl Juanxiu on it.

【Who are you? 】

【Why can’t I see you? 】

If it were an ordinary supernatural story, Ian would have been shocked at this time.

But alas, he is a prophet.

So Ian just nodded and said clearly: "As expected, are you the container of the prophet? Or is it a prophet born from the skull?"

"I know that your other two brothers didn't run out, but you came out to see me alone. There must be something wrong with this - no wonder your family left as if speeding up after I left."

"Baron Ryan, I'm afraid he already knows that I am a prophet. At the very least, he will suspect that I carry something inherited from the prophet similar to the Skull of Moment."

Lowering his blue eyes, Ian finally found out what he had been feeling uneasy about all along.

This was the reason for his uneasiness - one prophet met another prophet, both parties discovered each other's identities, and neither could see the future.

Even if one of them is just a container for the prophet.

only……

This is no longer the most important reason.

Ice blue water mist filled the room, and Ian looked through the window at the long road leading to the mountains by Ryan: "I have to find you and stop you."

Not because I am a prophet.

It's because I'm human.

If you can see it, you can change it. That's all.
