Sun Han replied with a reluctant acknowledgment, but he couldn’t shake off the discomfort in his heart. Although they were strangers at first, they had gone through thick and thin together, and their bond had grown stronger. Yet now, he watched as everyone was captured, unable to do anything, overwhelmed by guilt and self-blame.

Seeing his state, Ji Zan decided not to press further and carried Xiao Chang’an outside to scout the area.

Xiao Chang’an had an extraordinary sense of direction, even in the darkest of nights. He was confident, saying, “As long as Uncle Ji covers my eyes, I’ll definitely find them!”

Fu Shinan was surprised. Had she underestimated children? Were they all this remarkable nowadays?

But she had no time to dwell on it. They quickly gathered their belongings and set off.

With Ji Zan holding Xiao Chang’an, it felt like the previous night. Xiao

Chang’an’s eyes were covered again as they crossed a small river, entering the eerie mist once more.

To avoid getting lost, they held hands. Fu Shinan felt Ji Zan’s grip on her hand was tight, providing an unexpected source of comfort. After walking for about ten more minutes, they finally emerged from the misty forest under Xiao Chang’an’s guidance, entering another wooded area.

They continued for a few hundred meters until Xiao Chang’an suddenly said,

“We’re approaching the place where they trapped me.”

Ji Zan removed the blindfold from Xiao Chang’an’s eyes and set him down, taking a few steps forward.

Indeed, the trees were less dense here, and in the distance lay a plain. Though it was quite a distance away, they could see Professor Feng and the others tied to pillars, with many patrolling guards nearby.

These people had ragged clothes, bruised faces, and at first glance, they looked like zombies. However, their hands still showed their original skin color, indicating that they had used something to disguise themselves.

Ji Zan turned to Fu Shinan and Sun Han, saying, “There’s definitely more of them, and they have someone with control over abilities! We can’t just rush in like this. When it gets dark, I’ll go alone, and you two will be responsible for providing backup here!”

Sun Han immediately responded, “No, I’m going too. I may not have special abilities, but I’ve got fists! I don’t want to stand by and watch anymore.”

As he spoke, a golden figure darted out from the other side of the forest.

Fu Shinan, pleasantly surprised, patted the dog’s head and whispered, “Fu Gui! Where did you go? Are you hurt?”

Perhaps sensing the danger of the place, Fu Gui didn’t make a sound. Instead, he bit Fu Shinan’s pants, signaling her to follow him.

Fu Shinan glanced at Ji Zan, who clearly seemed a bit disdainful. Nonetheless,

Ji Zan whispered, “Let’s go and check it out.”

Fu Shinan spoke softly, “Then you lead the way.”

Fu Gui rolled its eyes at Ji Zan, wagged its tail, and took the lead.

Ji Zan muttered to himself, “Starting to consider sending that dog away!”

A few of them followed Fu Gui and arrived in a valley. Next to it, there was a winding stream, providing a refreshing moment of coolness. Fu Gui stopped, and the others found a secluded spot to hunker down. Below, there appeared to be something like an altar. At the center of the altar lay a girl with an eerie expression, dressed in unusual attire, and covered in red markings. Beneath the altar, a massive iron pot emitted an eerie and malevolent aura as yellow paper burned inside it. Around it, a group of people knelt and bowed,

muttering words that were incomprehensible, even if clearly heard.

Seeing this unsettling scene, Fu Shinan couldn’t help but whisper, “What kind of cult is this? How can we rescue them?” She couldn’t shake the feeling that these people might be planning something terrible with that girl!

Ji Zan was also perplexed, but suddenly, he remembered his magnetic control ability and suggested, “Let me try something.” He reached out to control the giant iron pot, but nothing happened!

Sun Han also attempted to use his ability, but there was no sign of a flame. Anxiously, he said, “It’s no use; we can’t use our abilities here. Something must be suppressing our powers!”

Fu Shinan sensed the urgency of the situation. With so many people below and only three of them, how could they defend themselves? Only Ji Zan had combat skills. Then, she recalled something and immediately used mental control on the person standing in the middle of the iron pot, holding a book. She swiftly received a system connection prompt. Her face lit up with joy as she explained, “I can control that person’s body now. You two protect me.” After confirming her decision, her perspective changed in an instant.

Fu Shinan now saw through the eyes of the only man standing there. She casually glanced at the book in his hand, which turned out to be about human anatomy. What did he intend to do? Wasn’t it related to harming people? Or did he want to perform some kind of dissection? But she didn’t have time to dwell on these thoughts. She immediately took control of the man’s body and walked over to the girl’s side….
