he died.

Chino Hisahiro's wife could not believe this sudden situation. Even though her husband had been ill for so long, she was still not prepared to face his death.

This was something she could never accept. How could such a healthy person suddenly fall ill and die?

"Wake up..."

Chino Hisahiro still had no response, and his breathing and heartbeat had stopped.

This was the first time that the curious person saw a person die. He suddenly stopped breathing and his heartbeat stopped.

No matter how the loved ones cried out or how sad they were, they could no longer give any response.

Such dead silence...

Is this the separation that death means? Never getting a response again, is this death?

After his wife called out in vain, she actually got angry at Wan Nan and Qingqizhe directly, because there were too many people who were sick during this period and Ta'esha had no extra staff.

So Qingqizhe took the initiative to take on the responsibility of taking care of some patients, so she now vented all her dissatisfaction on Wannan and Qingqizhe.

She knew clearly that this incident had nothing to do with them, but when people faced great pain, they no longer cared about so much.

"Didn't you say don't worry it will be fine?! Why?! Why is this happening?!"

"Sorry…"

The curious one lowered his head, feeling helpless and guilty in the face of this situation. He apologized sincerely. But he had done nothing wrong. He just happened to be there when he left, and thus bore her wrath.

The strange person did not retreat at all, enduring this unprovoked disaster, but she did not give up, instead she became more righteous and reckless. Wan Nan could no longer bear to watch.

The character of the strange man was too soft, but Wan Nan was not. Wan Nan frowned and protected the strange man behind her.

"I understand your pain of losing a loved one, but you should understand that getting angry at us is useless. This matter has nothing to do with us from the beginning to the end.

The curious ones only came to visit out of concern, to see if there was anything they could do to help. Do you think that venting your anger on us will help? With all your abilities, why don't you go find the source of this disaster?

Or are you also afraid of death, and getting angry at others is just a way to hide your cowardice?"

Wan Nan didn't have so many concerns and directly retorted. If she wasn't worried about corrupting the curious person, Wan Nan would have wanted to curse him out loud.

"Qi Qizhe, listen carefully, just because we have a good temper doesn't mean we can let others bully us, understand? Don't bother with unreasonable people like her."

She was so angry at Wan Nan's words, but she had no way to refute him. She pointed at Wan Nan and said, "You didn't finish the second half of the sentence."

The commotion here was discovered by other people because of their quarrel. This was the first person to die from the plague of unknown origin. Once this matter spread, the entire Ta'esha would fall into panic.

Niwa and the others also learned about this matter in time, so they blocked the news immediately. Wan Nan was a little confused. They had clearly said a long time ago that they would send people to ask for help, so why has nothing been done until now?

Wan Nan finally decided to go to the Yuying Furnace Heart in person. Since that was the root of everything, there must be the answers she wanted there.

While the curious person went to help Niwa, Wan Nan sneaked to the vicinity of the Yuying furnace core. Due to the shortage of manpower, many people here were transferred away, which gave Wan Nan the opportunity to sneak in.

As he went deeper, Wan Nan felt more and more headache. There was a strange smell everywhere. From afar, it seemed that this smell was emanating from the furnace core. Was this the source of the plague?

Wan Nan knew that she couldn't go any deeper, so she decided to return the same way. She also figured out the source of the problem, but the way she came was blocked at some point, and the fallen gate completely blocked her retreat.

"hateful…"

This was definitely done on purpose. It had only been a short while since she entered, and this place was blocked. No one would risk closing the gate. Someone was trying to stop her from discovering the truth and wanted her to die here!

Who is stopping her from discovering the truth?

"Damn it, which bastard is following me and plotting against me? Wait till I get out, and I'll kill you sooner or later."

Wan Nan was furious and cursed, but he didn't know who had done it, and he wasn't sure if he would find the person even if he went out. Although Wan Nan had the divine eye, he couldn't stay here for long. With no way to retreat, he could only move forward to find a way out.

Wan Nan continued to go deeper into the heart of the Imperial Shadow Furnace, and the discomfort in his body became more and more severe.

"Host, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I won't die. Is there a way back?"

"Yes... but we need to go deeper. If we go deeper, the host will also be infected by this aura..."

"Then we have no choice but to give it a try. Staying here for a long time will just mean waiting for death."

Wan Nan did not stop, but instead quickened his pace. Fortunately, with the guidance of 007, he did find the way back.

……

"He's dead...and the reinforcements still haven't arrived?"

The curious person asked Niwa, it has been so long, why is there no news at all, why has it dragged on for so long, some people have been lost, so many people have gone, why are they still unwilling to send anyone?

"I'm sorry... None of the people we sent out have returned. I suspect they may have met with misfortune along the way, and someone is preventing us from passing on information to the outside world."

"Why? Why would anyone do that?"

After all, the curious ones are too well protected and cannot even understand why someone would do this. It is obvious that this will kill many people, so what is the point of doing this?

Niwa didn't know how to answer. Things had developed step by step to the current situation. Connecting everything together, it was clear who was behind this conspiracy.

...That’s a really good plan.

Facing the curious person's question, he could not give any answer. Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate.

"Lord Niwa! This is bad! A fire has suddenly broken out, and it's spreading! But we don't have enough manpower!"

"Why now...Quick, gather everyone to put out the fire!"

The curious person ignored the doubts in his mind and followed them to put out the fire, but the further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

This... is the direction of home!

He became more and more anxious and rushed back desperately, worried about whether Wan Nan was still at home, whether he was in danger, or if he was injured. But he could only keep comforting himself in his heart.

It's going to be alright...it's definitely going to be alright.

Even if there was a fire, she would have escaped long ago with her strength.

Even though he was comforting himself in his heart, his clenched palms couldn't hide his panic.
