The light outside the window had dimmed, thick dark clouds shrouded the sky, and muffled thunder rumbled. A strong mountain wind howled in through the window, carrying a heavy, damp smell; a heavy rain was imminent.

Zhou Yun sat on the ground, listening to the man's narration. The heat within him grew stronger and stronger, gradually spreading to his limbs. The numbness in his hands and feet had been completely dispelled by the heat; he had never felt his body so full of power. He could even slowly move his limbs inside the restraints. He had a pretty good idea of the man's background; he was gathering strength, preparing to break free.

The man, however, seemed oblivious to his intentions and continued his narration.

"It turns out, his so-called son wasn't his son at all, but the son of that strange man. It turns out, all his money and savings over the years, Xiaolian had been supporting this adulterer. It turns out, his wife's sudden illness and death were also orchestrated by Xiaolian. It turns out, Xiaolian had always coveted his wealth, meticulously plotting to get close to him; the night he had sex with Xiaolian was because an aphrodisiac was added to his hangover soup. It turns out, the bruises on his daughter's body when she was little were caused by this stepmother he always thought was good to her. It turns out, for all these years, Xiaolian had been threatening his daughter with his health, never daring to speak out.

The first time he found out about his stepmother's affair was when his daughter was five years old. That day, she was dismissed early from kindergarten, and she forgot to tell Xiaolian, so her teacher took her home. When she got home, she found her stepmother being pinned down on the living room sofa by a stranger, naked and panting. She didn't understand anything at the time; seeing her mother groaning in pain, she thought the man was abusing her, so she ran to help her.

Later, 'Mom... '" "Mom" told her that the uncle was her friend who had come to visit her, and that they were just playing a game. The daughter was young then and believed it. Later, this uncle frequently came to their house during the day and played games with his stepmother on her father's bed.

Two years later, when the daughter was about to start elementary school, one night the man was having sex with Xiaolian when the daughter accidentally saw them. The next day, Xiaolian wasn't feeling well and asked a neighbor to take her daughter to school. On the way, the daughter asked the neighbor why her parents were naked and entwined together at night. The neighbor smiled and said... If it weren't for that, you wouldn't exist. Later, she asked if it was okay to be with other uncles, and the aunt said that was wrong.

When the aunt returned, she told the man about it, and Xiaolian was terrified. Fortunately, she didn't expose the affair. That afternoon, she went to pick up her daughter herself, and that was the first time she abused her. She threatened her daughter that if she dared to tell anyone, she would poison her father's food and turn her into an unwanted orphan. Her daughter was completely terrified and didn't utter a single word to the man.

Later, the adulterous couple continued their rampage without restraint. The affair escalated until one day Xiaolian suddenly became pregnant with her lover's child. They initially planned to have an abortion, but the man discovered the affair and mistakenly believed the child was his own, so they kept it. Their daughter initially disagreed but later agreed, only because Xiaolian had beaten her into consent.

Her daughter was first raped by the lover when she was seven years old. For the first five months of Xiaolian's pregnancy, she could still have sex with him, but later she couldn't. Unable to control his lust, the lover raped his daughter one day when the man was away, and Xiaolian watched. Later, the daughter wanted to throw her younger brother off the building because of this same hatred.

After being sent to a boarding school, her misfortune didn't end there. One evening after self-study, she was walking home alone to her dormitory, which was located in a remote area far from the city. She was stopped by several thugs on the way and brutally gang-raped. She was only ten years old at the time.

A month later, the daughter discovered she was pregnant. Terrified, she ran home in panic. However, her stepmother, upon learning of this, beat her severely, and the fetus, whether fortunately or unfortunately, was lost. She went to the school doctor for a checkup, who said she would never be able to have children again and said he had never seen such irresponsible parents, ordering her to call her parents. Later, Xiaolian went to the school, acting like a kind mother, heartbroken for her daughter's infertility, seemingly not taking any responsibility whatsoever. The man remained completely unaware of the affair.

Later, her daughter was taken home. She was very quiet, so quiet that it felt as if she didn't exist in the house. Her stepmother's daily task for her was to serve her lover, the first rapist. Her man.

Because the adulterer coveted his daughter's beauty, Xiaolian, in order to please him, forced her daughter to sell her body to win the adulterer's favor. She told her, "You're already a piece of trash. If your father finds out about this, he'll definitely commit suicide. If you don't want him to know, you'd better obey me, otherwise I'll spread it around to everyone." His daughter, desperate and resigned to her fate, was subjected to their daily abuse, year after year, until the man discovered it today. "

At this point, the man's eyes filled with a frenzied rage."

Zhou Yun stared intently at him. "You...you are..."

The man ignored her and continued his narration: "That night, the man didn't know what he was thinking, because his mind was completely in turmoil. He didn't fully trust his daughter. When Xiao Lian returned, he didn't react at all, still eating and watching TV with her as usual, chatting and laughing. Xiao Lian, as always, cooked and did laundry, happily busying herself for him. The man couldn't believe this woman could be so cruel. After finishing her meal, his daughter went back to her room, glancing at the man before entering. But he didn't notice the despair, sorrow, and resentment in her eyes. He didn't realize then that that glance would be the last time his daughter looked at him.

The next day, the man pretended to go on a business trip out of town..." He wandered around the street a few times after leaving the house before returning home. He quietly opened the door and went inside. As soon as he entered, he heard Xiaolian's wanton moans and the man's heavy breathing. He gently opened his bedroom door and saw the man who had violated his daughter the day before, now on top of his wife. They were entangled, completely unaware of his arrival.

The man realized then that what his daughter had said was true; this adulterous couple had been tormenting his daughter and his family. Just then, his phone rang. It was his daughter's school calling; his daughter had jumped from a building at school. The man completely broke down. He silently went to the kitchen, picked up a cleaver, and returned to the room. The adulterous couple were so engrossed in their actions that they didn't hear the phone ring. As the man raised the knife to strike, they didn't even notice someone standing beside them…”

"Later, this man lost everything. He fled to a small mountain village called Tayuan, near Inner Mongolia in Heilongjiang, and lived a simple, hermit-like life. Unable to find any clues, the police shelved the case as a cold case. During this time, the man, who had lost all hope, stumbled upon something in his secluded village. He seemed to regain his hope and began to study these things. He worked tirelessly, day and night, and with almost desperate persistence, he finally approached success after several years of research and experimentation. Unfortunately, the arrival of a policeman destroyed everything."

"The policeman was a young man who had just joined the criminal investigation team. He was full of ambition and dreams, eager to achieve remarkable results to gain the appreciation of his superiors. While going through old files, he came across this case. He felt that this case was a perfect opportunity for him to demonstrate his talents, so he volunteered to investigate this old case. Through his relentless investigation, he finally tracked down the man's whereabouts and traveled thousands of miles to Northeast China to arrest him. The man's hopes were completely shattered when he was only one step away from success. Unable to bear the blow any longer, he was brought back and later diagnosed with schizophrenia. On the second day after being admitted to a mental hospital, he chewed up his tongue and committed suicide."

At this point, the man looked at Zhou Yun with a nervous expression: "As I mentioned at the beginning, that man originally had a younger brother who grew up with him and his wife in an orphanage. His brother also knew his wife and secretly loved her. But why didn't I mention his brother in this story? That's because a year after the man and his wife got married, something happened that caused his brother to bury his love and kinship deep in his heart, leaving his hometown and family behind, and eventually going to Japan. He lived in Japan ever since, until three years ago when he received a letter from his brother in Tokyo, telling him everything that had happened. Only then did he return to his long-lost homeland. But upon his return, he heard the devastating news of his brother's passing."

"Officer Zhou, I think you understand what I'm talking about now."

"You...you're the younger brother in Japan?"

"You're right!!" The man before him suddenly howled like a wolf. "I am Wang Yi, the younger brother of Wang Yu, whom you captured back then!!" The world outside the window suddenly blazed as bright as day, followed by a deafening thunderclap. A violent storm swept across the land, and Wang Yi's face, illuminated by the lightning, was as pale as snow, like a corpse.

Zhou Yun finally understood why he felt the man looked familiar when he first met him; he had actually thought of him earlier. But hearing it from Wang Yi's own mouth still sent a profound shock through him.

He didn't have a deep impression of Wang Yu; to him, it was just an ordinary manhunt. At that time, the bureau was conducting a concentrated cleanup of old cases, and he just happened to get this one. Even if he hadn't, someone else would have. Over the years, he had arrested countless people, including many criminals who had killed more people than Wang Yu. Wang Yu was just another ordinary criminal among the many he had apprehended.

"What do you want?! Your brother committed a crime, and I was just doing my duty by arresting him. Besides, why are you retaliating against me like this? I didn't sleep with your brother's wife!" After a brief moment of shock, Zhou Yun quickly regained his senses. He shouted at the top of his lungs, unable to understand why Wang Yi would retaliate against him like this.

"Fuck you! Didn't you just say killing scum like me isn't a crime? Those two scum... no, they don't even deserve to be called scum, they're just animals. Those two animals are ten times more vicious than me, why is killing them a crime?!"

He pressed his twisted face close to Zhou Yun's, roaring, "Why the hell did you solve the case back then, you damn cop! Why didn't you arrest the truly guilty scum? Why did you arrest my brother?! Where were you fucking cops when my brother's family, his daughter, were destroyed, insulted, and violated?!"

Zhou Yun truly didn't know that the seemingly simple old case had such a tragic hidden story; he thought it was just an ordinary crime of passion. Now, this guy clearly seemed a bit mentally unstable, and who knows what he might do next. He could only try to buy time.

“I… I didn’t know the case was so complicated at the time, and I didn’t intentionally investigate your brother. We were clearing up old cases, and I just happened to be assigned to this one. Even if I hadn’t investigated it, it would have been assigned to someone else, and maybe even solved sooner. Besides… your brother’s enemies were that Xiaoqin and her lover. They were killed by your brother. Why are you dragging us into this?”

“Drag us into it? Then let me ask you, in this matter, was my brother a good person or a bad person? Were those adulterous couple good people or bad people?”

Zhou Yun couldn’t answer.

"You can't even answer such a simple question? My brother is a peaceful and unassuming man who suffered greatly from a young age. He didn't enjoy two years of happiness after growing up before losing his beloved. Then he took in that bitch, gave her a job, and later married her. He treated her incredibly well from beginning to end, never doubting her. But how did that bitch treat him? She coveted his wealth, killed his wife, spent his money to support other men, cheated on him, not only insulted his dignity but also abused his daughter, ultimately ruining her life. Damn it, I've explained it so clearly, and you still don't know how to choose?!" "

...Your brother is a good person."

"That's right, my brother is a good person, right? So those two scoundrels are bad people, right? It's deserved for the bad people to be killed by the good people, but why didn't the good people get a good ending in the end? My brother is still a criminal. So there must be something wrong here, and I need to find it and correct it."

"And you, you're one of the people most connected to my brother." Wang Yi sneered at Zhou Yun. "Your existence is a mistake. If you didn't exist, my brother might not have been caught back then. But my brother is dead, so I've decided to let you taste the bitterness of being betrayed and hurt by the one you love! Let me tell you, I'd be happy if you killed me! That way, my brother's mistakes can be corrected. Look, my brother became a despicable criminal for killing a pair of adulterers. Now, the policeman who arrested him back then has become a murderer for the same reason. This is a perfect irony of your so-called justice. I'm going to prove this. I'm going to prove my brother was right!"

"You...you're insane..." Zhou Yun truly felt that the person in front of him was an incurable madman.

“Yes, I’ve gone mad. When you know you only have a year left to live, you won’t hesitate to do anything crazy. To tell you the truth, I have a terminal illness, and I won’t live much longer. So in this short time, I’m going to finish what my brother didn’t finish. I don’t have time to think about who’s right and who’s wrong; I’m going to drag everyone related to my brother down with me.”

After saying this, Wang Yi lewdly approached Xiao Shi, who was hanging there. Xiao Shi was in a semi-exhausted and delirious state due to extreme stimulation, fatigue, and shock. He untied the leather wrists and ropes binding her hands, and Xiao Shi immediately collapsed to the ground.

He laid her body flat, lewdly touching her private parts, making smacking noises: "Oh my, so much water! Wow, seriously, just now your wife... no, I should say my wife, even though she kept saying no, I could feel it. She was sucking me in the whole time. If I hadn't taken a Viagra, I might not have been able to satisfy her. You've probably never seen such a lewd scene before. She's always such an elegant lady in front of you, but in front of me, she's a thirsty slut. It's hilarious. She used to tell me she wanted to save the beautiful and noble parts of her body for you, and give me the dirty and vulgar ones. Hahaha... Don't you find that funny?"

"You two still don't have children, is it because you're impotent? Why don't I do you a favor and help you? Your wife's uterus is so empty, I'll just plant my seed inside her, so she won't feel uncomfortable. Before, when we had sex, she always wanted me to use a condom, or ejaculate on her face or body, or take birth control pills. I don't know how much of my life I wasted, saying she didn't want to have a child with any man other than you. Honestly, I worked as a dominatrix in Japan, I've been with a lot of women, but I've never seen anyone like her who acts like a prostitute and pretends to be virtuous. But she won't have the chance today. I've already ejaculated inside her four times, and I'm going to do it a few more times later, making sure it's not a waste."

Then he stood up and went into another room. A moment later, he came out carrying a huge black travel bag. He unzipped it and took things out one by one: bottles and jars, all sorts of strangely shaped metal utensils, tattered, yellowed, almost falling-off thread-bound ancient books, large notebooks, a large leather scroll…

He slowly arranged these things, then gently placed them in front of Zhou Yun, smiling as he said, "Do you know what these things are? Don't be nervous, they're not meant to harm you. Do you remember what I told you earlier about my brother discovering something in his secluded place? It's this."

He unfurled the leather scroll. It was clearly ancient, densely covered with various talismans and patterns, and inscribed with incomprehensible characters. It looked like some kind of…feng shui diagram? Zhou Yun had previously dealt with an old man at the police station who used feng shui as a pretext to swindle money and women; some of these diagrams were among the tools confiscated from him. He didn't understand what this was.

Wang Yi pointed to the inscription and said, "This is what my brother found locally. It's said to be a diagram of a soul-summoning formation. When arranged correctly, it's said to lead directly to the underworld, summoning and capturing souls. This is written in Mongolian script. It's said that Batu Khan, the Great Khan who established the Golden Horde and ruled Russia, discovered it by chance during his campaigns. Later, he ordered his geomancers to study the formation, finally perfecting the diagram and finding these two items." He then took out two exquisite objects, neither copper nor iron, gleaming with a purple metallic luster, carefully holding them in his hands, like a child showing off a beloved toy.

One was about half the size of a palm, thick in the middle and thin at the edges, flattened, its overall shape a circle missing a smaller circle inside, like a very plump crescent moon. It was covered with runes that looked like oracle bone script, with a piece of green jade inlaid in the missing space. The other was slightly smaller, shaped like a double-edged axe, also covered with exquisite runes, and inlaid with a large red gemstone.

"See this? It's made of purple gold. You didn't expect that, did you? My brother found this in an ancient tomb in Mongolia. This one is called the Moon Wheel; this one is called the Eyebrow Axe. The array diagram records that these two items are magical treasures with divine power. This Soul-Summoning Array has two array eyes, Yin and Yang. Without these two items, the souls summoned by the array cannot materialize and will return to the underworld after the appointed time. However, if these two treasures are used as the array eyes, this Soul-Summoning Array is truly complete. Then the summoned souls can be resurrected and reincarnated as humans. This Soul-Summoning Array will then become a paradise on earth, existing forever, where the reincarnated souls will live. In addition, this array can also capture living people according to the will of the person who set it up, so that they can also enjoy the paradise forever."

"Are you crazy? You actually believe in this superstitious stuff..." Zhou Yun couldn't believe it. The person in front of him was too abnormal. He was certain that he had mental problems.

"Hmph, of course ignorant mortals like you wouldn't believe this. Actually, I didn't believe it at first either, but my brother mentioned it in a letter. He said he found a way to bring his wife and daughter back to life, and that he truly saw their faces that night—it was definitely not a hallucination. But to truly set up this formation and reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss described in the diagram, two conditions are necessary: the right time and the right place. The right time is the twenty yin years, yin months, yin days, and yin hours within a 60-year cycle. The right place is harder to find; it requires the principles of feng shui." The "acupoint of Qi" is a point that moves with the earth's energy, something that can only be encountered by chance. Three years ago was a Yin year. When you captured my brother, he had just found the acupoint of Qi and was waiting for the right time. Unfortunately, he was almost there when you captured him. Everything he had painstakingly prepared was destroyed. He only wanted to resurrect his wife and daughter so they could go to that blissful Pure Land and live happily together. He didn't intend to use this formation to harm anyone. In the end, his dream, his hope for survival, was all destroyed by you.

"Fortunately, he still has me, his younger brother. I will help him fulfill his dream. You don't know, but today is an unlucky day, and this place, Dieyun Mountain Resort, happens to be a vital point of the earth's energy. For the past two years, I've traveled to many places using this tattered feng shui book and my brother's notes to find the flow of the earth's veins. Heaven has eyes, and I've finally found it. I won't waste this opportunity. In a moment, I'll set up the array, and I will summon the souls of my brother's family. They will exist forever in the Pure Land of Bliss!"

"As for me, hehe, anyway, I have a terminal illness and won't live much longer in this world. I might as well absorb myself into the array as well. Perhaps I can continue to live there. No, I'm sure I can live there. As for your wife, hmph, I plan to take her with me. I want to continue to train her there. I've been planning this for a while."

Wang Yi stood up and walked to a cleared area not far away. He unfolded the array diagram and began to set up the array. First, he placed a giant candle in each of the eight directions, each as thick as a thermos, and then lit it. Strangely enough, the flames that ignited after being lit were pale green, and no matter how fiercely the wind blew in, the flames remained unaffected and burned as brightly as could be.

Then, he took out his notebook and flipped through it page by page. He then used a ruler and compass to measure the ground according to the array diagram, placing an object in each location he determined. There was a strangely shaped bronze bell, a small stone cauldron that looked like a three-legged incense burner, a fan, a bronze human-shaped lampstand... After he finished, he took out a huge brush that looked like a paintbrush and took out a plastic bottle from his bag, which was full of a blood-red, viscous liquid.

"See that? This is blood, human blood! The array diagram says this array needs to be activated with the essence of living beings. My brother used to use pig's blood, but I think the blood of humans, the most intelligent of all beings, should be even better. This is the blood of that adulterous couple's bastard child!"

"You...you killed someone...you...what did that child do wrong?! Her parents' crimes have nothing to do with him! You don't even spare a child, are you even human?!" Zhou Yun finally realized that this guy had completely gone mad, completely lost his humanity. He only felt his hands and feet slowly breaking free from the restraints around him. He gritted his teeth and struggled, clearly feeling that as long as he held on, he would definitely break free of the ghostly clothes he was wearing.

"Hmph, this little bastard shouldn't have existed in the first place. My brother wanted to get rid of him back then, but that harlot used some tricks to keep him alive. He should be grateful he's lived this long. I'm just sending him back to where he was meant to be. Besides, he caused my brother so much harm, now that he's contributing to my brother's resurrection, he should be happy."

"You... how are you any different from those two?!" Zhou Yun was trying to buy time, trying to talk to him as much as possible to slow him down. He was starting to believe Wang Yi's talk about the soul-summoning array. After all, there are many incredible things in this world that can't be explained by science, and he himself was experiencing this phenomenon.

"Hmph, I've already said I'm just like them, scum. Besides, if it were you, and I got your wife pregnant, and you found out the child wasn't yours, wouldn't you want to abort it? Don't forget, even if it's not born, it's still a life, still innocent."

Zhou Yun was speechless. Wang Yi gave a mocking sneer, then turned away, ignoring Zhou Yun, and began to concentrate on drawing the directions of the array on the ground.

He dipped his brush in the blood from the bottle, glancing at his notes and the array diagram, meticulously drawing strange patterns and runes on the measured locations. Some looked like the runes drawn with cinnabar on yellow paper by Taoist priests in movies, things like "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands" or "Borrowing the power of heaven and earth." However, Zhou Yun clearly felt a strong, indescribable fluctuation emanating from those runes.

It was not yet three in the afternoon, but the dark clouds outside were growing thicker, and the sky had almost completely darkened, with the wind and rain intensifying. The room was illuminated only by eight large candles, each with a green flame half a foot high, casting a ghastly green shadow around them. Wang Yi could only draw on the ground by this light, barely daring to breathe, afraid that a single wrong stroke would ruin everything. Finally, after using up an entire bottle of blood, he completed the last stroke. He let out a long breath, stood up, wiped his sweat, and carefully followed the directions as he walked out of the array.

He walked to another wall, where something seemed to be hidden behind a curtain. He went over and lifted the curtain, revealing a huge glass mirror that perfectly reflected the entire array he had set up. He compared the effect, thought it was satisfactory, and laughed loudly, "Haha, mission accomplished!"

Then he went to Xiao Shi, picked her up, placed her in the drawn array, and then put the moon wheel on a metal chain around her neck. Upon seeing this, Zhou Yun shouted, "What are you doing?! Don't touch her!"

Wang Yi chuckled and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot about you. Did you see that? The position I placed her in is the Yin Yin array eye of this formation, and I am the Yang Yang array eye. Only with the existence of these two treasures we are wearing can this formation truly operate."

Then he tied a red thread to his and Xiaoshi's wrists. "This is called empathy. This thread will connect us as one. Later, I will use her body to activate the Yin Array Eye, because I'm afraid she won't cooperate. After completion, because the Pure Land of Bliss is formed from this array, the two of us will become one with this array and these two treasures, existing forever in the Pure Land."

"There's something I don't understand. I didn't play any role from beginning to end. You set up this array, which is completely unnecessary for me. What you wanted was Xiaoshi. What was your purpose in bringing me here?"

"Haha, you're right. You were completely insignificant in this whole thing. I brought you here specifically to get revenge on you. I want you to watch your wife be taken by someone else and disappear before your eyes, powerless to do anything. I want you to taste the pain that others have experienced. You will live forever in painful memories."

"...Then why haven't you activated it yet?" Zhou Yun lowered his head, his expression unreadable, but his voice was filled with despair and pain.

Wang Yi was clearly in high spirits. He hung the axe around his neck and said, "Since it's not time yet, I estimate it will be another hour. In the meantime, why don't I perform the Eighteen Bedroom Techniques with Xiaoshi for you? Consider it a parting gift." As he spoke, he lewdly reached out and touched Xiaoshi's body.

"Really? So I still have time!" Zhou Yun's face suddenly shot up, his hair standing on end. He roared, and with a ripping sound, his arms tore through his restraints, then he grabbed the lapels and ripped the restraints in two. He grabbed a pistol from the ground, broke the chains binding him, and rushed to Wang Yi, aiming at his head.

Wang Yi stared at him in surprise, stopping his movements, but remained calm: "Heh, I really didn't expect you to be able to break through this restraint suit by hand. Looks like you're not an ordinary human. Too bad you're too late. If you could have stopped me before I finished, you can't now. What do you want? To shoot me?"

Zhou Yun stared intently at him, slowly moving towards his wife. Wang Yi watched his movements without offering any resistance. "Hmph, you want to take her away? I already told you her current mission is to act as the array's core. When the array activates, no matter where you take her, I can pull her in."

Hearing this, Zhou Yun sneered and pointed his gun at him: "Oh, then I'll just kill you now and be done with it, won't I?"

"Try shooting. She and I are already connected by this line. If you dare touch me, she'll die if I die." Wang Yi remained unfazed.

"You're talking nonsense! Do you think I'd believe that?" Although Zhou Yun said this, he slightly stopped moving.

"Alright, I'll show you." Wang Yi said, taking out a knife and lightly cutting his arm. A bloody gash appeared immediately. Xiao Shi, lying on the ground, groaned, clutching her arm and wincing in pain.

Zhou Yun was shocked. What kind of sorcery was this? He didn't dare touch her, his gaze fixed on the red thread. Wang Yi, seeing this, laughed and said, "Want to cut that thread? You can try, see if you can succeed." He then tossed the knife to him.

Zhou Yun picked up the knife without a word, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut the red thread. He used all his strength, but the red thread was practically impervious to blades and spears. Wang Yi, watching his struggle, laughed heartily. Zhou Yun's forehead veins bulged, and several guns were pressed against his forehead. "Untie this thing for me."

Wang Yi was nonchalant: "Oh, you want to shoot me? Have you developed amnesia and forgotten what just happened?" "

Hmph, you set up this stupid formation just to avoid dying, right? If you die now, you'll get nothing."

"Hmph, so you don't want your wife anymore? Your wife will die too. Anyway, I don't have many days left to live, so what difference does it make whether I die sooner or later? I've been prepared for this. Besides, if I really untied it, I'd be courting death! Would you untied it if you were in my shoes?"

"You..." Zhou Yun's eyes widened in anger, but he couldn't do anything about it. He returned to his wife's side and reached out to grasp the moon wheel hanging around her neck. “You can’t do anything without this, so I’ll throw it away!”

“You dare!!” Wang Yi’s eyes turned fierce. “If you dare throw it away, I’ll kill myself. Anyway, with your wife by my side, I won’t be lonely on the road to the underworld.” His biggest mistake was that he hadn’t expected the man in front of him to be able to break free of the restraints. These kinds of clothes were impossible to remove by human power without tools. He remembered searching the man thoroughly and leaving him nothing. He never expected that this guy he had kidnapped on a whim could ruin his plans at any moment. It was a case of trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog.

Now he could only threaten him with Lin Xiaoshi’s life. This was his last trump card.

The two faced off…

Suddenly, a very strange atmosphere filled the entire space. Zhou Yun couldn’t help but shiver. Wang Yi also felt it. He looked into the mirror with surprise. Zhou Yun followed his gaze and looked in. What he saw immediately terrified him!

Within the magic circle reflected in the mirror, besides him, Wang Yi, and his wife, two more figures had appeared. The two women were strikingly similar in appearance, clearly mother and daughter. Their faces were expressionless, their skin as white as paper. Bathed in the eerie green candlelight, they stood beside him like statues, exuding a ghostly aura, as if staring back at him from their reflection.

Zhou Yun whirled around, but there was nothing beside him. Looking again in the mirror, the two figures were indeed right beside him. He rubbed his eyes hard, widening them to examine them closely. He was certain he wasn't seeing things. There were indeed two figures in the mirror that didn't exist in reality.

Ghosts?! The concept instantly flashed through Zhou Yun's mind. That was the only explanation now. His face turned deathly pale, and his hands trembled. Wang Yi, however, became excited. "Aha, the time is almost here, the magic array has begun to work. Don't be nervous, what you see are the ghosts of my brother's family, but they cannot appear in reality."

He pointed to the mirror. "Mirrors are truly a marvelous invention of humankind. In ancient times, mirrors have always been considered the most spiritual objects. You see, when you look in the mirror, you feel that what's inside is exactly the same as in reality, but in reality, they are two completely different spaces. They only look the same on the outside, but are completely different in essence. Perhaps what you see in the mirror is another version of yourself in a parallel universe. Perhaps you will see things in the mirror that shouldn't exist in the space outside the mirror, just like now. Look, this mirror contains another space completely independent of our space, that is the space where ghosts can appear."

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Yun and sneered, "Now no one can stop me. If you want to stop me, you can only kill me or steal these two treasures, which is easy for you. But if you kill me, your wife will die too, and if you dare to steal the treasures, I will commit suicide, so the result is still the same. Now there are only two possibilities: either I succeed, or I die with her."

“…You bastard!” Zhou Yun gritted his teeth, but he truly couldn’t think of a single solution. If he interfered with him even slightly, the man would likely threaten him with his wife’s life. But could he just stand by and watch this scum walk away? Was there really no way out?

The person in the mirror stood motionless. But the image grew clearer and more realistic; time was running out.

“…It seems I have no choice but to kill you!” Zhou Yun’s expression gradually turned solemn and cold as he slowly raised his gun and aimed it at Wang Yi’s head again.

Wang Yi’s expression changed slightly: “What are you thinking? Don’t you care about your wife’s life or death? Isn’t this what you came here for?”

“She cheated on me, why should I care about her life? Anyway, if I do nothing, I’ll still lose her in the end. If I kill you, maybe she will die, maybe she won’t. Like you said, the outcome can’t get any worse, I’m prepared, so I might as well take a gamble. Besides, didn’t you just say you were happy I killed you?”

Wang Yi's expression changed slightly, because he realized Zhou Yun was serious. Did he really not care about his wife's life? Impossible, I couldn't be wrong. His purpose here was definitely for Lin Xiaoshi. I could tell that this woman held an irreplaceable place in his heart. Was he just bluffing...? No, he didn't seem like it! This guy really wanted to kill me, was he really going to gamble as he said? This was too reckless. Had all my hard work been for nothing? Was I going to follow in my brother's footsteps? No way, this was my only hope of survival...

He frantically tried to think of a solution, but couldn't come up with anything for the moment. This man didn't care about his wife's life, or even his own. What a blunder! He shouldn't have brought him along; now he'd become the biggest danger. It was a complete miscalculation! "What to do, what to do, what to do…"

Zhou Yun looked at his face and laughed: "You look panicked, huh? What are you panicking about? Didn't you already know what was going on? Ah, I get it, in the end, you're just trying to survive, right? Too bad you can't survive now."

"Don't forget, if I die, your wife will die too."

"Let's not even talk about whether what you're saying is true or not. Even if it is, it doesn't matter. You can use this so-called soul-summoning array to revive your brother, so why can't I use it to revive my wife? Oh no, if I'm not mistaken, you actually only want to revive your sister-in-law and niece, right? You never intended to revive your brother, did you? Otherwise, why are there only two shadows in there?" Zhou Yun's face was full of mockery.

“You are indeed a smart man. I have no intention of resurrecting Wang Yu. He was incapable of protecting his lover; he was a failure, so he doesn't deserve them. But I am different. However, I didn't expect you to have this idea.” Wang Yi's expression relaxed. “Yes, you can, but we are connected by this rope. If your wife is resurrected, I will also be resurrected. The result will be the same because this thread connects our souls.”

“You're talking nonsense…” Zhou Yun hadn't expected such a statement.

“Since you believe we will die together, why don't you believe we will be resurrected together?” Wang Yi had completely calmed down by now, his confident expression returning, and he regained the upper hand in his words.

Zhou Yun's face turned ashen, his heart in turmoil. To shoot or not to shoot… The two were locked in a stalemate when suddenly a dazzling green light burst forth from their sides, like a sudden explosion of light. The entire floor was instantly illuminated by the intense light.

"Ah?!" The two, locked in a stalemate, simultaneously felt a powerful, inexplicable shock surge through their bodies—a purely spiritual impact, like a tidal wave. Both were blinded by the blinding, intense green light, only able to discern the direction from which Xiaoshi lay.

"That is…" Wang Yi was utterly horrified. He himself had never actually seen the soul-summoning array in full operation. Could the array have started? No, the time hadn't come yet! I hadn't even chanted the incantation. And why wasn't mine reacting?

Zhou Yun shielded his eyes, standing there dumbfounded, completely bewildered. Was this real? Or was he dreaming? "Xiaoshi!" he shouted, running to her side. The green light had weakened considerably. He picked up his wife, only to find Xiaoshi seemingly asleep, unresponsive. The emerald on the moon disc hanging around her chest shimmered with a soft halo, and countless floating green fluorescent rays completely enveloped her body.

"What the hell happened?" Zhou Yun was furious. If anything had happened to his wife, he would have smashed Wang Yi's head to pieces.

"Don't...don't panic, it's okay, your wife isn't dead. If she died, I would die too. The fact that I'm alive and well proves she's alright. Have you forgotten, this red thread..." Wang Yi was also stunned by what he had just seen. He raised his wrist, but what he saw almost made his eyes pop out.

The red thread connecting him to Xiao Shi had broken at some point. Two small green flames were burning along the thread, emitting a green glow as they burned.

He was completely dumbfounded. This was a spell he had learned from a female monk in Japan, and the red thread was also given to him by that nun. It had always worked, but today it was ruined. Zhou Yun was also stunned. When he came to his senses, he suddenly raised his hand and shot Wang Yi in the head.

"Bang!" Wang Yi flinched, the bullet missing him, but the deafening gunshot nearly deafened him. Terrified, he screamed and, without thinking, desperately flung his hand. Another red thread flew out, this time connecting his arm to Zhou Yun's. This was his last red thread; the nun had given him two.

"Don't shoot! Do you want to die?!" He collapsed to the ground, screaming hysterically, "Now you and I are connected! If you kill me, you die too!"

Zhou Yun looked up and saw that a red thread had connected his arm to Wang Yi's as well. "You son of a bitch!" He roared furiously, stomping his foot across Wang Yi's face. The kick nearly sent Wang Yi's face flying, three teeth spitting out, blood and saliva flying from his mouth. At the same time, Zhou Yun felt a heavy blow to his face, staggering back several steps, his face numb.

"Hmph, go ahead and hit me. Hitting me is like hitting yourself." Wang Yi could barely speak, his mouth full of blood dripping from his torn lips, his face swollen and distorted. He struggled to his feet, trembling as he stood, when Zhou Yun snatched the axe from his neck and hung it around his own.

"I can't hit you, but now I can stop you from setting up this broken formation, right?" He pulled Wang Yi out of the position of the formation eye he had drawn on the ground. "Hmph, now you're not in that damn formation eye anymore, are you? Without you as the positive pole, can this thing still function?"

"Ah!?" Wang Yi was stunned. In that life-or-death moment, he hadn't thought of anything else, never expecting it to have such consequences. He reached out to grab it, but Zhou Yun grabbed his wrist. Suddenly, a blinding red light burst forth, instantly turning everything around red. As if sensing this, the green light tide of the moon surged again, the waves of brilliant red and green halos intertwining, and Zhou Yun clearly felt that the surrounding scenery and space seemed to be distorting.

"This...this is..." He looked around in panic. In the distorted space and dreamlike flowing light, he seemed to sense several other sources of light. Wang Yi laughed maniacally: "Hahahaha, it's a success! The magic array is starting to operate! We're all going to say goodbye to this world! No, I won't let you go. I'm going to leave you here. I set up this array; I can choose who to take."

"Go to hell! Stop it right now!" Zhou Yun's mind was also in turmoil; he couldn't calmly consider Wang Yi's words. His pistol was pointed at Wang Yi's head again, his eyes bloodshot from the red light, like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone.

"Shoot! You can stop me by killing me, but you'll die too." Wang Yi's eyes were filled with madness.

Zhou Yun's gaze darted back and forth between Wang Yi and his wife lying on the ground not far away. The surrounding space was distorting more and more violently. He could clearly feel that he was no longer standing on the ground. There was no time left. He took one last look at his wife...

"Bang!" After a gunshot, the surging light surged to its limit and intertwined. The surrounding space twisted and collapsed in an instant. A bright bolt of lightning shot in from outside the window, and a white light brighter than the sun enveloped everything.
