I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 138. Miss Mu, what are you doing?!

Is Wen Zaiye still alive?
Xia Feng blinked, not answering the question, but instead asking, "Who are you? Why are you asking this?"

"I'm sorry, I got a little emotional." The woman lowered her eyes apologetically and said in a low voice, "I'm Wen Zaiye's girlfriend, you can call me Zhizi. I just want to know how my boyfriend is doing."

Your boyfriend is dead. Xia Feng remained silent, not intending to reveal this sad news for the time being.

He suddenly realized a possibility: "So, Wen Zaiye escaped from here."

"Ah? No, that's not it." Gardenia pursed her lips and shook her head, her haggard face looking somewhat gloomy.

The crowd kept moving forward, as if it was time for the park to open and everyone was undergoing health checks to ensure customers could use the facilities with peace of mind.

Xia Feng turned around and said, "Are you interested in telling me about you and Wen Zaiye?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "Actually, there's nothing to say."

She looked on with a look of reminiscence, "About nine years ago, Zaiye and I went to apply for jobs at the Yuanhe Orphanage. I never expected it to be a place like that."

The woman recounted her experiences slowly and calmly, without much emotional fluctuation, but the more Xia Feng listened, the more his heart ached.

This is a very NTR (Netorare) story. Simply put, a couple goes on a picnic in the outskirts of Yuanhe Town, but Zhi Zi suddenly disappears. Wen Zaiye searches for her for seven years without success. However, two years ago, when he joined the Black Moon Church and followed a big shot to the garden, he unexpectedly saw Zhi Zi being surrounded and played with by a group of pot-bellied nobles.

The two locked eyes through the crowd, and Wen Zaiye broke down completely. Overwhelmed with grief and anger, he told Zhizi that he would definitely rescue her.

Hearing this, Xia Feng roughly guessed what would happen next. It was probably that Wen Zaiye was running around trying to expose the Garden, but the waters were too deep, and he, a low-level spiritual master, couldn't make a ripple at all. In the end, he even betrayed the Church and was wanted by the Empire.

"Zaiye said he would kill the men who bullied me, but he didn't know that my appearance was very popular with those men. It wasn't just the dozen or so men who bullied me that night, but many others."

"Alright, stop talking." Xia Feng waved his hand, rubbing his forehead. He didn't want to hear the details. The things happening here made him feel increasingly disgusted, and a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

He quickly suppressed the thought, realizing that he had just had a sudden urge to use the Calamity Realm to kill all the powerful and influential people who were about to enter the garden.

But after thinking about it, I felt it wouldn't work, since not all the wealthy people would come to the park every time it opened, and it would be impossible to attract them all at once.

Moreover, we don't even know who is behind this garden. Would using the Calamity Realm directly alert them?

There's no need to take the risk. Thinking of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but sigh. He actually really wanted to get involved in this matter.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Let's find the Holy Elixir first." He cleared his mind and made a decision.

"I've told you my story, so can you tell me if he's still alive in the wilderness?"

Xia Feng raised his head and met the woman's calm gaze. Although there was no emotion in her eyes, there was still a faint expectation hidden within them.

Perhaps it was her hope that Wen Zaiye would come to save her? Or perhaps it was simply her hope that Wen Zaiye would live?
Xia Feng didn't understand, but subconsciously felt that he couldn't tell the truth at this moment.

He shook his head: "He should still be alive. I haven't seen him for a month."

"Is that so? That's good. It's good that you're alive." Zhi Zi didn't doubt Xia Feng's words, murmured, and continued to move forward with the crowd.

After completing a series of examinations, Xia Feng finally returned to the room he had been in before.

He wandered around outside and gathered quite a bit of information.

For example, the park opens at 7 pm the day after tomorrow.

During this period, no one is allowed to leave the room. Every day at noon, a special person will come to deliver the working fluid injection. The working fluid can keep people energetic and mentally alert for 24 hours.

In addition, there is a clear pink vertical line between the eyebrows, which is each person's identification mark and also a suppressor to prevent someone from having suicidal thoughts. If someone bypasses the suppressor and successfully commits suicide, staff will come to retrieve the body and send it to the hibernation pod for cardiac resuscitation.

Yes, the medical care in this godforsaken place is ridiculously good. As long as the brain is still intact and the soul is undamaged, one can be quickly cured and restored to normal.

This is outrageous. This hellhole seems to have been built specifically to torture people. Xia Feng couldn't understand it. Did these powerful and wealthy people have some kind of serious illness? Why couldn't they just stay home and have some celebrities to play with? Why did they have to come here and torment ordinary people who had completely lost hope in life?

Lying idly in bed, Xia Feng felt a bit bored. He still had to stay here for two more days before he could take the next step, which was quite annoying.

This place doesn't even have computers or cell phones, it's unbearable.

[Mu Qingtong, after consuming three Level 2 Spiritual Treasure Fruits, your soul space has been greatly expanded, and your spiritual particle quantity has increased significantly, reaching the Level 3.]

"what?"

Xia Feng sat up abruptly. He clearly felt his soul space, which was originally a bottle of water, rapidly expand to the size of two bottles of water. The spiritual particles inside also slowly increased as a result. It took several hours to completely fill the soul space again.

Xia Feng estimated that he could now use the B-grade spirit garment two or three times without running out of spirit energy.

[Mu Qingtong's consumption of too many Spirit Fruits at once caused unstable spiritual pressure, putting her at risk of soul collapse at any moment. However, as she quickly optimized her spiritual particle structure, your spiritual pressure state was stabilized again.]

Current mental strength: 50 Soc

[Mu Qingtong consumed ten Spirit-Infused Fruits, perfectly absorbing all their effects. Your mental strength has been greatly increased by 30 points.]

Current mental strength: 80 Soc

Under normal circumstances, each person can only eat one Spirit Infusion Fruit per month at most, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the surge in mental power brought about by the Spirit Infusion Fruit, and their mind will become disordered and they will become mentally impaired.

However, Mu Qingtong possesses extremely high mental strength enhancement from the spiritual artifact, so this increase is negligible for her and will not cause any side effects such as mental disorder.

Starting from the fourth tier, as a Spirit Master's life level evolves, their spiritual power will also experience a significant leap, generally fluctuating between 40 and 300.

Xia Feng sensed that his mental power had long since reached the fourth level, which was enough to withstand the attacks of many mental artifacts. He just didn't know if he could withstand Mu Qingtong's attacks.

Perhaps only by raising one's mental strength to over 300 points can one be sure of reaching the fifth tier.

The initial experiment on 'pain enhancement' failed, but it did lead to a slight improvement in the understanding of techniques for effectively inflicting 'intense pain' on a target.

"?" Xia Feng asked in confusion, "Pain-enhancing strength research? What is this?"
[Infiltrating the core area of ​​the Holy Ministry to steal data, almost being discovered, in a moment of crisis, Mu Qingtong had an epiphany and optimized and improved the Concealment Spirit Garment. Your understanding of the Spirit Garment has improved, and you have successfully mastered the C-level Spirit Garment 'Bronze Concealment'.]

【C·Bronze Concealment】

[Products from Qing Tong are guaranteed to be of the highest quality]

[Effect: Your stealth will eliminate the drawback of being vaguely visible in sunlight, and your stealth will be able to resist the detection of spying artifacts below Grade A.]

"Alright, alright," Xia Feng thought to himself, lying on the bed, silently cheering Mu Qingtong on. "Miss Mu, I'm all set. Keep pushing!"

[After discovering your disappearance, Mu Qingtong quickly located your whereabouts based on your movements. During your return to the Holy Department, you gained insights into speed-type spirit garments, and your understanding of the C-rank spirit garment Thunder Step has improved.]

"Ah this."

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow. Could this guy be trying to sneak in too? This godforsaken place isn't exactly friendly to women.

[Mu Qingtong slit a woman's throat with a butterfly knife. You quickly mastered how to use the butterfly knife and became proficient.]

[You've killed another man. You've gained some insight into backstab techniques, and your combat abilities have received a barely perceptible boost.]

Two more men were killed.

Xia Feng: "."

Hey, Miss Mu, what are you doing?!
