I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 78. A Strange Feeling in My Heart

As countless searchlights shone, a blurry figure made of light gradually condensed where the light converged. It wasn't dazzling, but as the halo around the face shifted, the face became a vortex of light.

A deep voice came from within: "Mr. Eight, please show the mark."

Xia Feng lifted his hood, and as a beam of pale light shone from the radiant figure, he removed his mask, revealing a dark purple flower mark between his brows.

This is the hydrangea emblem engraved in the spirit.

He can also replicate it, but this mark was made with the help of the Holy Ministry.

With Wei Shutong's help, the Holy Department possessed a great deal of information about the Lister family and their methods of imitation.

“Mr. Eight, given the extraordinary circumstances, His Highness the King has ordered stricter scrutiny. Therefore, we would like to trouble you to remove your magical artifact and reveal your true form, as well as your aura of malevolent energy.”

Guangren bowed and said calmly.

Xia Feng's expression darkened slightly with displeasure, but after a pause, he removed the illusory outer garment of the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor, transforming into a short, old man, while a faint aura of malevolent energy emanated from him.

The luminous man glanced at it and nodded, then turned his swirling face toward the mushroom: "And who is this?"

"Didn't you recognize her? It's Li Hongdou!" Xia Feng grinned. "I don't know what your Six-Tailed Society is doing. A whole bunch of you went to catch Li Hongdou but failed, and I just happened to catch her."

After Guangren checked Li Hongdou's identity again, he easily confirmed that she was the real person.

The alloy gate in front parted, and the luminous figure bowed in greeting before disappearing completely as the searchlight dimmed.

Xia Feng put his illusory cloak back on, exchanged a glance with Mushroom, and slowly walked inside.

Pingshan Hospital was reduced to ruins, but in just one day it was rebuilt with thick walls and metal doors.

"Haha~ Lao Ba, you're awesome! You went out and killed a couple of newbies and even brought back a loot!"

A black-robed figure wearing a Blood 7 black mask jumped down from the high wall, his voice cheerful, "As expected of the new member the boss has high hopes for, he's too strong!"

Xia Feng looked up at the newcomer. Judging from the information given by the Holy Department, this person should be number 7, Yi Xian Qian.

"It seems that the Duke's subordinates are really incompetent."

Xia Feng casually grabbed Mushroom by the collar and grinned, "Let's go, the King must be getting impatient, let's take this little guy to him."

"Okay, let's go."

Under the dim corridor lights, Xia Feng narrowed his eyes and slowly followed half a step behind the Seven-Faced Man, carrying a mushroom bag like a little chick.

According to intelligence, this seven-faced man did not possess any magical artifacts, but gained the ability to dispel evil after becoming a Calamity Chaser.

The so-called "Evil Release" refers to the ability gained by some Evil-afflicted individuals whose souls have stabilized after merging with a fetal-stage Evil Beast with the help of certain Evil Gods.

The difference between Calamity Release and Spirit Release is that the user of Calamity Release needs to offer something to the God of Nightmare, otherwise they will be devoured by the power and die directly.

In other words, those who escape misfortune are all laborers of the evil god, and the kind of laborers who will die if they don't work to earn money, working from 6 am to 12 pm all year round, with the risk of sudden death at any time.

The ability to resolve the calamity of number 7 is called "One Thread Connects".

After signing a contract with the target and establishing a shared network, one can share the damage, pain, pleasure, and other sensations one experiences with the target. The more pain and damage one endures, the stronger one's physical abilities become.

However, the premise is that the goal must be based on the heartfelt and voluntary consent to establish the shared line; the line cannot be established by arbitrarily selecting a target.

This ability sounds impressive, but it has too many limitations.

Who would willingly become this victim? If the one with this ability were a goddess, she might be able to trick a few sycophants into sharing the pain and pleasure.

"Speaking of which, Eighth Brother."

As they walked, the Seven-Faced Man chattered on in a cheerful voice, "How was that time?"

"Hmm? Last time?" Xia Feng asked in confusion, but his heart tightened.

The real challenge is here. If this guy asks him about things involving hidden memories, he won't be able to get away with it easily.

"Tsk~ You're still pretending with me. She's my wife." The Seven-Faced Man's cheerful voice turned displeased as he leaned closer and said mysteriously, "How was my wife's taste? Want to try again?"

".?" Xia Feng: (=°Д°=)
Sure enough, these cult members are all talented individuals with very niche and perverse hobbies.

It's no wonder that No. 7 is a connecting line; everything can be shared.

Xia Feng thought for a moment and gave a slightly dismissive answer: "So-so."

"Tch~" The seven-faced man was displeased and somewhat angry.

But then he thought about Lao Ba's health and found it a bit funny. He said sarcastically, "Lao Ba, it seems your health is getting worse and worse. No wonder you feel so bad."

"With my wife's figure, I don't believe you don't feel anything!"

Xia Feng didn't want to talk to this Green Grassland enthusiast. He was holding a mushroom and biting his lower lip, his face flushed as he tried to laugh but dared not.

"Old Eight, you need to be more restrained," Green Hat 7 continued to nag.

"You damn idiot!" Xia Feng thought to himself.

Just then, as the three arrived at the door, a displeased, deep voice came from inside: "Has Zhao Jie not returned yet?"

"President Zhao located the cat-faced man's whereabouts, but when he arrived, there was no one near the Wisdom Tree No. 004. President Zhao is still tracking him."

"This piece of trash!" Wang Jue clearly hadn't expected that Zhao Jie couldn't even catch a single person.

"However, Your Highness, the real dream you requested has been constructed. Once we capture Li Hongdou, as long as we let her enter the dream and witness Xia Feng's dying state, I believe she will genuinely be willing to acknowledge the Princess as her mother."

Hearing this from outside the door, Xia Feng and Mushroom were slightly startled. Lister's methods were truly endless.

"Knock knock knock!" The seven-faced man pushed open the door and entered.

The people inside looked on in surprise.

Xia Feng saw the scene inside: the beautiful Fox Fairy was sealed in an ice-blue glass coffin, and a blindfolded woman in a red dress with bare, snow-white feet looked up at the long coffin.

As the scene unfolded before his eyes, Xia Feng's pupils dilated and contracted involuntarily, his heartbeat seemed to quicken slightly, and a strange feeling lingered in his heart.

He frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He guessed it was because the princess was too beautiful. He was amazed when he saw her face last time, so it's normal that he felt a little strange.

However, this feeling inexplicably reminded him of the dream he had the night before attending the King's birthday banquet.

That dream.
Xia Feng frowned even more deeply.
