The clouds in the sky suddenly covered the moon, and everything around became pitch black.

Qin Baobao frowned and glanced at the sky. The clouds very tactfully revealed the moon's little face.

This is truly amazing! What exactly is her identity? Ever since the last world, she has discovered that she can control some small things, and her luck is also incredibly good.

On the way back, Qin Baobao briefly explained the matter to the two people, and they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion just as she finished speaking.

Although it was night, everyone went to bed early. The guards of the city lord's mansion, however, were not asleep. Seeing three people openly enter the city lord's courtyard, a group of seven or eight people followed them, while another person went to inform Captain Karin.

Seeing seven or eight people following her, Qin Baobao remained completely calm, even having the leisure to put her veil back on. This was a perfect opportunity to expose the city lord's crimes to the world; if these people were complicit, they could be dealt with as well.

Following the prompts from the mini-system, Qin Baobao found a secret passage leading underground.

"The city lord's mansion actually has a secret passage. I've been here for five years and I didn't even know."

"Don't tell me you don't know; even as the team leader, I don't know."

"What is the goddess trying to do? I feel like something's off."

As soon as Qin Baobao descended the secret passage, the little system flew over based on its senses.

"Host, you scared me to death! It's full of dead people." A small white bird fluttered over and spoke in human language.

Qin Baobao took the bird in her hand and gently rubbed it on his head twice.

"The bird, the bird can talk!" Arthur and his companion were only slightly surprised, but the people behind them were not so calm and started talking all at once.

"This is the first time I've ever heard a bird talk."

What's this bird talking about, the dead?

"You're just talking nonsense, aren't you? Otherwise, you would actually believe that it discovered a dead body."

…………

"Quiet down. From now on, everyone must remain silent. If you have any questions, you can ask the city lord directly." Qin Baobao's title of goddess was quite effective; upon hearing her speak, everyone immediately quieted down.

Qin Baobao walked at the front, holding the Qinghong Sword. The secret room was lit by torches, and everyone soon saw the dead body that the little system had mentioned.

The piles of corpses were carelessly thrown into a large pool, and the stench of rotting bodies wafted over from afar.

They thought it smelled like dead rats, but it turned out to be the stench of a corpse. Qin Baobao couldn't help but gag. This gag seemed to open some terrible valve, and everyone started vomiting, leaning against the wall. The smell of the corpse combined with the sour stench of everyone's vomit was indescribably pungent.

The corpse was covered in maggots, some of which even crawled down from the pool onto the ground. No one dared to approach.

Upon hearing the news, Captain Kalin rushed over, pushing through the crowd and ignoring the disgusting insects on the ground, and stood by the pool for a long time to observe.

Based on the investigation over the past two days, Captain Kalin appears to be the city lord's most trusted subordinate. Kalin arrived here not to reprimand or expel them, but to examine the corpses. Could it be that he is unaware of the city lord's actions?

After examining the body, Captain Karin rushed inside. The others followed behind, but quickly lost him.

"Goddess, what should we do? Will Kalin go and report this?"

"I don't think so. It looks more like they're looking for someone."

"Captain Kalin is a good person. He helped me when I was in trouble before." Everyone spoke highly of Captain Kalin.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The most important thing now is to find the city lord and see how he has an explanation."

Suddenly, the barking of wolfhounds came from ahead; there must be many dogs kept here.

Everyone ran a few steps, turned the corner, and a large dog collar appeared in front of them.

Human skulls and clothing fragments were scattered throughout the dog pen, a testament to how many people these wolfhounds had eaten to become so strong and robust.

Several vicious dogs rushed to the fence, their eyes gleaming green as they barked incessantly, wanting to devour the people. They hadn't eaten for several days, and today just happened to be their feeding day.

Looking at these man-eating dogs, Qin Baobao frowned in disgust. She thrust the Azure Rainbow Sword forward, and the dogs were silenced.

As a sword that loves cleanliness, Qinghong Sword doesn't forget to shake its blade after killing a dog.

This is disgusting! The dignity of a divine sword has been completely thrown to the winds. Using a divine sword to kill a dog, and such a disgusting dog at that! As a divine sword, don't I have any dignity?

Master, I'm here. All the dogs have been killed.

Qinghong happily returned to her master's side.

Qin Baobao looked at the sword in front of her with disdain, examining it from top to bottom. She kept staring at this dramatic sword until it seemed to be floating on pink bubbles, before finally taking it in her hand.

After dealing with the dog, they continued on their way. The place was so large that it could no longer be described as a secret room; it resembled an underground palace.

At the intersection ahead, the road forked, and Qin Baobao seemed to hear intermittent sobs.

"System, where is the city lord?"

"I saw him go into the left side." The little system glanced outside and immediately snuggled into Qin Baobao's arms.

Qin Baobao led everyone into the left-hand passage, where there were unidentified cages. The further they went, the louder the crying became. It was more like the meowing of a kitten, weak and whimpering. When they reached the very end, Qin Baobao witnessed the most cruel scene of her life.

A group of children were hung upside down on poles like pigs, with large gashes cut into their necks, blood dripping into the pool.

The seemingly dignified city lord of the daytime is now easily hanging the child's legs and feet on a pole with ease.

Qin Baobao had never been so angry as she was at this moment. Was this person even human? How could they reach out to a young child?

The Azure Rainbow Sword was unleashed, slamming forward and piercing the city lord's heart. Just as the child was about to fall into the pool of blood, the Azure Rainbow Sword transformed into a giant hand, catching the child steadily.

"Host, well done! This big bad guy should have died a long time ago."

"Don't say anything yet." Seeing the child on the pole, Qin Baobao had no mood to speak at all.

"Oh."

The group began checking on the dozen or so surviving children. They had given up hope for the children on the pole, but thankfully they were just too weak from hunger. Seeing the children's pitiful state and hearing their hoarse cries, several guards couldn't help but shed tears.

Such bloody and cruel things were something they had never heard of or seen before.

"A city lord like that deserves to be torn to pieces!"

"Killing him with one sword would be too easy for him!"

"This person is a monster!"

"Stop complaining. These kids might still be saved."

When everyone came to their senses, they found many red basins in the secret passage, filled with an unknown liquid. Qinghong Sword was putting the children into the basins. The goddess busily moved between the basins, sprinkling various unknown powders into them.

Without a second thought, Qin Baobao crushed the healing pills and sprinkled them into the spiritual spring water, hoping only that the children could pull through this ordeal.
