Ciel stood there in a daze, thinking about what had just happened.

For some unknown reason, the wizard suddenly lost his head and fell heavily to the side. The image of the juice in his body splashing on his cloak is still vivid in my mind.

However, now that he had escaped, Ye Xi was still walking towards him nonchalantly.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better now?"

Hearing Ye Xi's voice, Xia immediately shook his head and came back to his senses.

"My strength has returned."

"That's good. You can go now. I'll go after him."

Ye Xi had no intention of letting the mimic beast go. She looked carefully at the traces left on the ground and saw that it ran towards the back mountain.

"Do you really want to chase them? There are three Mimics in total."

"Three? What did they tell you?"

Charles was silent for a moment, then told Ye Xi everything he had heard and the plan they had discussed earlier.

"You want to use the cave's terrain to get rid of me?"

"Wait, if it's a Mimic, why didn't they attack you?"

"I told them I came here on Beelzebub's orders. The Mimics aren't very smart, so they believed me straight away."

Hearing this, Ye Xi nodded. Judging from their behavior just now, they didn't seem to know him.

This mountain is not an ordinary mountain, but a deep mountain. There are wild beasts lurking in the woods everywhere, targeting lone prey.

"This wooden house is actually not an ordinary one, but a haunted house."

"Haunted house?" Charles was a little confused. He didn't know much about the term "haunted house". He just felt that it was a bit shabby and dilapidated.

"After all, how could anyone possibly live in this deep forest?"

"I'm just stopping here temporarily, so just take a break."

"So, what exactly is a haunted house?"

Ye Xi did not answer Charles immediately, but walked silently along the traces left by the mimic beast.

"I'll explain everything to you when I get back. But first, this isn't a good thing. It might even kill you."

Ye Xi looked back at Xia Er and showed him an evil smile, which was very creepy. She couldn't believe that the seemingly petite loli in front of her had such a huge murderous intention hidden behind her.

But when I remembered that she had the title of Judge, I felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

A faint, disgusting smell of blood could be smelled from her body. Her hands were already stained with blood, and her gentle expression seemed to imply unspeakable danger.

The black windbreaker highlights her mystery. It is impossible to tell what she is thinking at the moment through her appearance. This state seems to have lasted for a long time.

"I want to go with you." Charles said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Oh? I'm the Judge. Nothing good will happen if you follow me."

"If I get serious, I'll even kill my own people."

After hearing this, Xia Er felt a chill on his back. As for Ye Xi, if he couldn't kill her, she would kill him.

But knowing this, why didn't you plan to execute yourself from the beginning?

This sparked Ciel's curiosity, and he decided to learn more about this feared "Judge."

"You saved my life, and I want to repay you. If you don't think it's necessary..."

"It's all up to you."

Ye Xi's pupils shrank slightly when he heard that. There was no trace of fear in Xia Er's eyes, but determination and resoluteness.

Ye Xi also laughed out loud at this.

"I've saved many people, but they all learned their lesson and ran away."

"But you, Ciel, you could just run all the way down the mountain to the safe town and return to your hometown."

“Don’t trust anyone easily, even your savior, family or friends.”

Ye Xi's words sounded particularly heavy, with a hint of anger in his tone, and he turned and left.

Charles thought it over again and again, and then followed behind timidly. He always felt that Ye Xi's words had hidden meanings. Every word she said was related to herself, as if she had experienced something that made her sad and angry.

"The traces are blurry. What should we do? Did we lose them?"

"No, rather than saying we've lost them, it's better to say they're nearby."

Ye Xi looked around and, as expected, there was a cave not far away, but he couldn't tell if it was their hiding place.

The cave was silent. Charles and Yexi stood outside and observed. Because the branches and leaves of the dense forest blocked some of the sunlight, it looked like a bottomless cave.

Ciel was a little timid. Although his physical strength had recovered, his magic power had not yet fully recovered.

"If you're afraid, stay outside."

As he spoke, Ye Xi walked in and was gradually swallowed by the darkness.

She walked decisively, not caring about the dangers lurking in the cave, and even went in alone without any firelight.

"Oh no! I didn't even tell her that the more Mimics there are, the more dangerous it is."

"Does she know that the mimics will merge into one?"

Charles didn't know what to do. It had only been a minute since Ye Xi walked in. She might have already lost the guidance of the light and walked completely into the darkness.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the deep and dark cave, and faint sounds of crazy laughter could be heard.

"benefactor!"

Ciel quickly used his magic to create a glowing sphere on his palm, and hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.

The bright light illuminated the situation inside the cave. The further Charles went forward, the more chaotic the sounds became, as if the sound of some liquid flowing was lingering around.

As the sound got closer, she finally found Ye Xi, but the scene in front of her made her feel a little nauseous.

Ye Xi's body was stuck in a huge ball of slime, and there were madly wriggling tentacles all around, leaving sticky liquid on Ye Xi's fair and tender skin.

She was hanging there like this, with her eyes lowered so that her expression could not be seen clearly, and it seemed that she was no longer alive.

"benefactor!"

Charles screamed, but Ye Xi remained indifferent. There was still a disgusting smell in the air, as if it came from animal carcasses soaked in stagnant water.

"Hahaha! Got it!"

"Could this be the legendary Judge? I thought he was so powerful, but he's just a little brat."

The huge slime ball stuck to Ye Xi's limbs tightly, and she was insulted by these tooth-covered tentacles without any resistance.

Charles realized that the parts of the cave where the light could not reach were now filled with disgusting mucus, and the three of them had merged into one.

That's why the sound became a little strange. They were tearing Ye Xi's clothes bit by bit. Seeing this, Charles hurriedly used magic power to condense a bow.

Suddenly, he felt his body being tightened, and found a black tentacle tied around his abdomen.

"what!"

"How dare you deceive us, so come over here too!"

A huge pulling force pulled Charles over, and she was also fixed on the huge slime ball, her body suddenly unable to move.

At the same time, he felt his magic power being absorbed bit by bit, and gradually he felt weak all over.

"don't want......"

"It's over... Am I really going to die this time?"

Ciel's eyes gradually narrowed, and the loss of magic power caused her consciousness to become increasingly blurred.

I thought that Ye Xi might have been in such a miserable state because his magic power was absorbed.

She just stayed beside him silently, her clothes gradually becoming thinner, and she seemed to have completely lost consciousness.

"Rest in peace, Judge. We will extract your soul. Your tender flesh is the best food, and your soft body is the best breeding vessel."

"We will make you wish you were dead, but you can't live."

At the last moment before his consciousness faded, Charles held Ye Xi's cold little hand, and a glimmer of despair flashed in his eyes.

"But unfortunately, I will return these words to you unchanged."
