"After we picked up the music box, strange changes began to occur in the orphanage."

"First, the old director turned into a vengeful ghost, trapping us here and preventing us from leaving."

"Then, every so often, new vengeful ghosts would come looking for 'human dishes'."

"Each time, they only wanted a portion of our limbs, saying that's how it's fresh."

【Spider】's voice was filled with sorrow.

The calico cat beside him, however, had a look of confusion in its eyes.

These painful memories had long been forgotten by its ability.

Now, they sounded so foreign.

But deep down, a certain tremor was trying to break free, and its eyes gradually became moist.

"My elder brother's legs and my hands were placed on the dining table as delicacies."

"It was at this time that the first group of intruders arrived at the orphanage."

"They resisted the old director's control and fought against the vengeful ghosts seeking human dishes."

"Unfortunately, their strength was still too weak."

"All five of those intruders died."

Seemingly recalling the memories of that year, 【Spider】's voice also became melancholic.

At the same time, the wooden door beside them quietly opened.

A pair of goat hooves stepped in with a subtle sound.

The graceful 【Sheep】 swayed her slender waist as she came before everyone.

She first glanced down at the music box on the ground.

A hint of surprise flickered in her eyes, just like the calico cat.

It seemed she had heard what 【Spider】 said when she entered the door just now.

She also began to speak, continuing the story: "Their appearance replaced us as the fate of becoming human dishes."

"For a long time, no human dish-seeking ghosts came to the orphanage."

"But this seemed to displease the old director."

"He believed that we weren't enticing enough, that our flavor wasn't rich enough."

"So, he took the music box from us."

"Using the resentment of Seventh Sister within it, he made the curse even more rampant in the orphanage."

"Our bodies began to change, and everyone started to become like animals."

"The old director said that this would make our flavor even better."

Speaking of this, 【Sheep】 looked somewhat self-deprecatingly at the curly wool on her body.

She tore off a piece of it with considerable disgust.

The fur being forcibly torn from her body naturally damaged her skin, causing fresh red blood to flow out.

It was clear that she really hated this appearance.

"When we saw the human dish-seeking ghost again, we knew that the corpses of the previous intruders had been eaten."

"Fortunately, another group of intruders came."

"This time, we were very lucky."

"They were really powerful, not only killing and exorcising the old director, but also causing the human dish-seeking ghost to return empty-handed."

Clearly, the story was gradually becoming brighter.

But Wu Wang and Xie Zhi couldn't see any joy in the eyes of this 【Sheep】 Miss.

In addition, the place they were currently in had already become a disaster zone.

That is to say, even after the instance was successfully cleared.

These orphans still hadn't been saved, but were instead trapped in the orphanage forever like earthbound spirits.

Clearly, the second group of intruders had done far more than what was being said now.

The things that had happened in the past were far from over.

"We thought we were saved at the time."

"Until one of the intruders said with red eyes that he was also curious what the human dishes described in the books tasted like."

"He even said that since no one would know what happened here after they left, why not give it a try."

"He even told us the differences between human dishes—"

"Small children are called 'Rotten Bones', their bones are boiled until they are rotten, the meat is tender; old and thin men are called 'Extra Fire', saying that this kind of human meat is old and needs more fire; and young women are called 'Better Than Lamb', their meat is delicious, even better than lamb."

"He asked us if we knew which category we belonged to? After all, some of our brothers and sisters could no longer be recognized as humans."

After saying this, 【Sheep】 looked at the calico cat and 【Spider】.

Her eyes were also filled with sadness.

They didn't willingly become these monstrous appearances.

When Xie Zhi heard this, his clenched fists had already drawn blood from his palms.

He had indeed heard that some unscrupulous players would do things in instances that they wouldn't dare to do in the real world, thus satisfying their various desires.

But he hadn't expected them to be so insane.

Could they really still be called humans?

"Fortunately, among that group of intruders, there were still two who couldn't bear it and tried to persuade their companions to stop," 【Spider】 interjected, continuing, "They also helped Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister alleviate the spread of the curse during the process of exorcising the old director."

This also explained why 【Sheep】 and 【Viper】 hadn't completely transformed into animal forms.

They could even retain most of their human characteristics.

"Unfortunately, they didn't seem to be as powerful as the other three, and eventually died in the infighting."

"Just when we thought we were doomed, those three said something about the time being almost up."

"And then disappeared from the orphanage."

When 【Spider】 spoke about this part, there was also a hint of confusion in his tone.

Clearly, he didn't know what time was up either.

Wu Wang and Xie Zhi looked at each other.

They certainly knew!

It must have been that the infighting between those three players and the other two players took too long, and they had forcibly dragged out the remaining time after the instance ended.

But since the people were gone.

Why was the orphanage still like this?

Seemingly seeing the doubts of Wu Wang and Xie Zhi.

【Spider】 continued, "Although they left, it's true, they took away something crucial—Seventh Sister's music box."

"The source of the curse all started from that music box."

"It shackles anyone in the orphanage from leaving, and it was also used by the old director to transform us."

"After exorcising the old director, an intruder once found a way to break the curse."

"Just by repairing the music box, the curse would be easily resolved."

"But after it was taken away, we could only endure the endless darkness and loneliness here."

Creak—

Another wooden door was opened.

A rustling sound came from within.

Looking closely, a woman with a human head and a snake body, dragging a long tail and wearing a light veil, slithered over.

She said in a disgusted tone, "I don't know how long it's been, but the intruder who took the music box actually came back."

"This time, not only did he not treat us as human dishes, but he even returned the music box to us."

"But he also left a new curse."

Only then did Wu Wang and Xie Zhi notice.

The gazes of the four siblings who appeared here were all filled with distrust towards each other.

They were wary of each other.

Compared to the rather threatening postures of 【Viper】 and 【Spider】.

The calico cat, which was clearly not very big, looked somewhat ridiculous with its fur standing on end and its sharp claws extended.

"Is this curse related to a traitor among you?"

Wu Wang suddenly remembered what 【Sheep】 had mentioned to him and the calico cat in her room before.

At that time, they also said that only those who passed all the tests could find the traitor.

This question made 【Spider】 nod.

He opened his bloody mouth and slowly said, "That's right, that thief said that the music box was missing a piece."

“One of our brothers and sisters was killed by him when he went to exorcise the old director. In fact, he had already tasted human flesh at that time, but in order not to arouse our suspicion, he used magic to create a fake to replace the other party and mix among us.”

“The missing fragment is on that fake.”

“And the fake possesses all the memories and abilities of the original, we simply cannot distinguish it.”

Having said that, he aimed all the spider eyes on his head at Wu Wang and Xie Zhi.

The eyes of the other three also turned this way.

【Sheep】 said in a soft voice: “However, if we arbitrarily question or even threaten family members with force, the only thing we can rely on, each other, will also fall apart.”

“So, we have formulated a mutually agreed upon plan—”

“That is to let outsiders find the traitor.”

【Snake】's snake tongue flicked out, hissing.

The cold gaze roamed over Wu Wang.

When looking at Xie Zhi, it eased a lot.

The latest and most complete novels are at 69shu.com!

It made our Wu Wang feel what it means to be treated differently.

In her eyes, I am still a bastard, right? Only Xie Zhi can be called great, glorious, and correct.

She also hissed: “But you intruders have already harmed us enough, we can't trust you.”

“So, we plan to use our own abilities to screen out trustworthy people.”

“When a person is not weakened by 【compassion】; does not enjoy 【violence】; does not indulge in 【lust】; does not die because of 【sin】; does not lose himself because of 【confusion】.”

“Then he can be the good person we believe in.”

After saying these words, her gaze turned to 【Spider】 again.

The snake's tail trembled on the ground non-stop due to anger.

Gnashing her teeth, she said: “But you also promised us that if you can't find such a good person, you also have a way to repair the music box, did you lie to us? Are you a fake?”

Regarding the suspicion of other brothers and sisters.

【Spider】 seemed a little helpless.

He restrained his posture of being ready to attack at any time.

Sighing, he said: “I actually always knew that I could not repair the music box.”

“But if I didn't lie to you that I could repair it, how could you be willing to wait for so many years?”

“I'm afraid you would have already started fighting among yourselves to catch the traitor.”

“In the end, we would fulfill the wishes of that thief, killing each other until we all die.”

His words made the other three feel uncomfortable like needles.

But there was no way to refute it.

Because they all knew that what 【Spider】 said was correct.

If they could never find a trustworthy good person, and there was no hope of repairing the music box.

Even 【Snake】 herself, I'm afraid she would not be able to help but poison all the brothers and sisters, and then search them one by one for the so-called missing fragments.

After all, they have been suppressed for a long time.

These strange abilities obtained because of the curse can not only affect intruders.

It will also affect themselves.

Bang—

Just as everyone was talking about this.

Two paper figures jumped out from the corner.

They transformed into human form in front of Wu Wang and Xie Zhi.

“Mr. Shu! Sister Ying!” Xie Zhi said in surprise.

He didn't even sense when these two had arrived here.

Wu Wang took a step forward and blocked him with 【Xiao Chuan】, grinning and asking:

“A contest with no prizes, what kind of chili sauce should watermelon be mixed with?”

“Don't mix with chili sauce, it should be ketchup, Brother Yan, you are too vigilant.” The book boy covered his face helplessly.

Xie Zhi also reacted.

Yan Shuangying was worried that the other party had been affected by these animals and had changed.

He even suspected that since the players back then could use fake bodies to mix among the animals, they could probably find a way to mix among their players as well.

After all, such nonsensical questions can only be answered if you have personally seen Wu Wang squeeze ketchup and eat watermelon.

Wu Wang shrugged and put away 【Xiao Chuan】.

He always felt that something was wrong.

The thief in the mouths of these animals, the intruder who took away the music box back then.

Why would he return it many years later? And also tell these guys about the existence of the traitor.

Moreover, according to what Xie Zhi said when discussing with himself in the coffee shop.

The Supernatural Affairs Bureau will only be ready to come and seal it off tomorrow morning, and resolve the crisis in the disaster cave.

That is to say, tonight is indeed their only chance.

Then shouldn't this place, as a disaster cave, have just been discovered by the Supernatural Affairs Bureau?

There weren't even any cordon lines set up around it.

But the original intruder seemed to be able to enter and exit here at will long ago.

He used some kind of ability to cover up the truth that this place is a disaster cave!

It was not until recently that the Supernatural Affairs Bureau discovered it.

This point in time is too coincidental.

It's like a trap that has been set up for a long time, and finally, after waiting for the person who should step on it to appear.

Revealing the cheese in the middle of the mousetrap.

Although knowing that this is a trap targeting Xie Zhi.

But the trap of temporary intention and the trap of long-term planning.

Those are two different concepts.

Who was that intruder back then, and which organization did he work for?

This is very important.

In fact, if he was a person under the command of the moths of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, it would be fine, after all, it was just infighting.

If it really is a person from 【Disaster Cult】.

Wouldn't that mean that 【Disaster Cult】 had already taken a fancy to Xie Zhi.

Planning to do something to him here?

“Not good!” After Wu Wang completely understood, he suddenly looked at Xie Zhi and said: “We have to speedrun out of here.”

Xie Zhi: “?”

He actually vaguely sensed something was wrong.

But because he had just come out of the worm cocoon.

His mind was not as quick as Wu Wang's for a while.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone.

Wu Wang said with a dark face: “If there are no accidents, the Supernatural Affairs Bureau will not come to deal with this disaster cave tomorrow morning.”

“Instead, they will arrive in a while, and perhaps people from 【Disaster Cult】 will come out to stop them in the middle, so that the Supernatural Affairs Bureau will think that this is indeed some kind of arrangement by 【Disaster Cult】.”

“And you, if you are caught in this place with a suspected arrangement by 【Disaster Cult members】, or even a real 【Disaster Cult member】 himself, plus the possibility that your heart has been affected and distorted, all kinds of coincidences come together.”

“You should know what that means, right.”

Dong dong—

Xie Zhi's heartbeat instantly quickened a bit.

Of course, he understood what it meant.

That would be an injustice that could not be washed away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

After all, he should be lying in bed sleeping in the community now, not secretly meeting with 【Disaster Cult members】.

This is a multi-planned trap.

The intruder back then, precisely because he had experienced it, knew very well that the tests of these animals could not be passed in a short time.

Not only pass the test, but also have to find a way to repair the music box.

He even considered that Xie Zhi might really be able to conquer the disaster cave without being affected.

Therefore, influencing Xie Zhi's original intention is part of the trap, and it is also part of delaying time.

No matter which of these two traps succeeds, it will put Xie Zhi in a place of eternal doom.

The most critical thing is that when everyone realizes this.

It means that it is already imminent.

The people from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau may already be on their way.

Preparing to catch them red-handed...
