Miler, who has a system for giving up

Just then, we tightly escorted the couple, preparing to return to their original location via the teleportation array.

However, during this process, Brother Yu Xi was not idle.

He placed his hands on the wrists of the man and woman one by one, trying to sense the traces of the thousand-thread needles.

Time passed second by second, but Brother Yu Xi's face never showed a trace of joy.

His brows furrowed, as if he were utterly bewildered and disappointed by the outcome.

Finally, Brother Yu Xi slowly shook his head and said helplessly, "Neither of them is that mysterious person. I didn't sense any trace of the Thousand Threads Needle in their bodies. It seems that the mysterious person is someone else."

Upon hearing what Brother Yu Xi said, His Highness the God King was also somewhat surprised.

He had initially thought the man and woman were the mysterious people they were looking for, but now it seemed that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

However, His Highness the God-King was not discouraged. He patted Yu Xi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't lose heart, Yu Xi. Although these two are not the targets we are looking for, they must know some clues about the mysterious person. Take them back and interrogate them thoroughly. I believe we will be able to get some information out of them."

So, we carefully led the couple through the teleportation array, as if traversing a passage of time and space, and in an instant we were back in the cave.

The cave was dimly lit, as if shrouded in a thin veil, with only a few faint rays of light squeezing in from the cracks in the ceiling, flickering like candlelight and struggling to illuminate the surroundings.

Brother Yu Xi took the lead, knowing the terrain like the back of his hand, and led us along a shortcut at lightning speed.

Along the way, we were on tenterhooks, walking on thin ice, carefully avoiding all kinds of traps and mechanisms, and daring not to slack off in the slightest.

Finally, under Brother Yu Xi's guidance, we emerged safely from this mysterious ancient ruin.

The moment we stepped out of the ruins, a refreshing breeze, like a gentle spring breeze, swept over us, making us feel relaxed and happy.

When the divine soldiers and generals waiting outside saw us come out, they immediately rushed forward to greet us as if a long-awaited rain had fallen on a drought.

Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, clearly indicating that they had something important to report to His Highness the God-King.

As expected, the Eastern deity I had transformed into quickly stepped forward, unable to contain his excitement, and said impatiently, "Your Highness, while we were waiting for your return here, we encountered a mysterious person outside these ancient ruins!"

His voice trembled slightly, as if the mysterious person was haunting him like a ghost, leaving him with lingering fear.

Then, the Eastern deity vividly recounted how they unexpectedly encountered the mysterious person.

According to his description, they were patrolling outside the ancient ruins when suddenly, an overwhelming aura surged from afar like a raging storm.

They looked on with the vigilance of a formidable enemy, only to see a figure appearing and disappearing in the darkness, moving with lightning speed, like a ghost walking in the night.

The divine soldiers and generals immediately gave chase like arrows released from a bow, eager to find out what was going on.

However, the mysterious man was as fast as the wind, and despite their best efforts, they could never catch up with him.

In the end, the mysterious person vanished without a trace in a hazy mist, leaving their efforts in vain.

Upon hearing this, His Highness the God-King frowned deeply. "What are the characteristics of that mysterious person?"

The Eastern God General tried hard to recall: "He was radiating a strange light, was extremely fast, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of this area."

After a moment of contemplation, Brother Yu Xi said, "It seems that this mysterious person is very likely the one we have been looking for who possesses the Thousand Thread Needles."

His Highness the God-King made a decisive decision: "Immediately expand the search area and find this mysterious person at all costs. At the same time, intensify the interrogation of the man and woman; perhaps we can get more clues from them."

Everyone took orders and took quick action.

I stared at the mist, a strange premonition rising within me, as if endless secrets and dangers were hidden behind it.

I knew all too well that finding that mysterious person would be no easy task, and the search for the mysterious person behind the Thousand-Thread Needle was destined to be full of hardships and setbacks.

However, no matter how rugged the road ahead may be, we will never back down in order to uncover the truth.

We will go all out and spare no effort to explore the secrets hidden behind this, even if we encounter more challenges and difficulties.

Meanwhile, the man and woman were escorted by divine soldiers to the prison of the divine realm.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was unusually oppressive and tense, as if even the air itself had frozen.

His Highness the God-King personally oversaw the proceedings, his gaze sharp and unwavering as he stared intently at the couple and began his interrogation.

However, no matter how His Highness the God King tried to coerce or entice them, or used various means, the two remained tight-lipped and refused to reveal any information about the mysterious person.

Their silence created a stalemate in the interrogation room, leaving everyone feeling helpless.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Brother Yu Xi suddenly noticed that the two of them had a very well hidden tattoo.

This discovery rekindled everyone's hope, and people gathered around to examine the tattoo closely.

After careful observation and analysis, Brother Yu Xi discovered that the tattoo appeared to be the symbol of some kind of organization.

This discovery immediately caught the eye of His Majesty the God-King, who ordered people to investigate the organization behind the symbol, hoping to find some clues and solve the mystery.

At that critical moment, I keenly noticed that the woman's gaze kept sweeping towards a corner of the interrogation room, as if something important was hidden there.

I was puzzled, so I followed her gaze and sure enough, I found an extremely tiny stone in that corner.

Although the stone is unremarkable, it is engraved with a strange symbol, which is obviously used to transmit some kind of signal.

I instantly realized the seriousness of the situation, and without hesitation, I reached out and grabbed the stone tightly. With a sharp squeeze, the stone shattered into a pile of powder with a "crack".

The moment I crushed the stone, the couple seemed to suddenly lose their support, their bodies went limp, and they fell heavily to the ground.

They kept muttering incoherent words, sounding like they were begging for mercy or shouting in terror.

I rushed closer, my heart pounding, straining my ears, afraid of missing a single word.

After some effort, I finally gleaned some crucial information from their fragmented words—vague clues about the mysterious man.

It turns out that the organization behind them had installed small stones on each of them to ensure that they would never leak secrets.

What's even more surprising is that they themselves were fully aware of this!

As for why the small stone fell into that corner, I speculate that it was because one of them resisted during the interrogation that the small stone fell.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they deliberately threw the pebbles there.

However, regardless of the reason, once the small stones are destroyed, they are immediately controlled by some mysterious force, and their bodies completely lose their autonomy.

Despite their careful organization, we successfully discovered this crucial breakthrough, which undoubtedly brings us one step closer to uncovering the truth.

From the couple's ambiguous words, we also learned an important piece of information: the mysterious person will appear at an altar in an ancient forest on the night of the full moon.

His Highness the God King made a decisive decision to set up an ambush on the night of the full moon.

The night of the full moon finally arrived, and our group, like ghosts, quietly lurked around the ancient forest.

The moonlight, like water, filtered through the dense foliage, illuminating the entire forest as if it were daytime.

Suddenly, a strange light flashed, like lightning ripped through the night sky, and then the mysterious figure appeared on the altar like a ghost.

He radiated a dazzling light, even more so than the legends suggested, and his speed was astonishing, leaving no time for anyone to react.

Upon seeing this, Brother Yu Xi launched the first attack without hesitation.

He moved with lightning speed, closing in on the mysterious man in an instant. His long sword, like a dragon emerging from the sea, aimed straight at the mysterious man's vitals.

However, the mysterious man reacted extremely quickly. With a slight dodge, he avoided Brother Yu Xi's attack. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a powerful energy wave surged toward Brother Yu Xi.

Caught off guard, Brother Yu Xi was struck by the energy wave, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, His Highness the God King's expression changed, and he immediately flashed into the fray to join the battle.

The God King Sword in his hand, like lightning, carried boundless pressure as it fiercely struck the mysterious man.

The mysterious man showed no fear in the face of the God King's attack.

The light in his hand flashed again, actually managing to block the God King's sword from His Highness the God King.

In an instant, the sword and the light clashed, producing a crisp sound and sparks flying everywhere.

Seeing this, the rest of us also gathered around, trapping the mysterious man in the middle.

The mysterious man seemed to sense danger; his eyes grew sharper, and the light around him became even more dazzling.

He suddenly shouted, and the light in his hand burst forth like fireworks, with countless beams of energy shooting towards us like raindrops.

We quickly deployed various defensive measures in an attempt to withstand the dense attack.

However, the mysterious man's attack was far too powerful, and our defenses were quickly breached. Beams of energy, like sharp arrows, pierced through our bodies, causing waves of excruciating pain.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, I suddenly noticed a strange place.

The tattoos on the mysterious man's body were slightly different from those of the previous couple.

Is there some hidden secret here?

As I pondered this, the battle continued fiercely.

His Highness the God King and Brother Yu Xi launched continuous attacks, while the mysterious man dodged and weaved through our encirclement, making it difficult to determine a winner for a time.

During a lull in the battle, I loudly told His Highness the God King and Brother Yu Xi about my discovery.

Upon hearing this, they immediately realized that things were not so simple.

Just then, the mysterious man stopped attacking, like a star that suddenly went out. The light on his body gradually receded like a tide, and his eyes revealed an indescribable helplessness.

"Stop fighting! I am not the person you are searching for who is afflicted with a thousand needles. The reason my tattoos are different is because I am here to stop the person afflicted with a thousand needles from doing evil."

"It's a mysterious man," the man said in a deep voice.

It turned out that he had been secretly investigating this organization all along, and discovered that they were plotting to use ancient ruins to unleash a catastrophe.

He intended to resolve everything single-handedly, but by a twist of fate, we mistook him for an enemy.

Moreover, the reason he knew that the mysterious person had been pierced by the Thousand Threads Needle was because he had accidentally discovered the person's whereabouts some time ago and followed him all the way.

When they were discovered, a fierce battle ensued. Having witnessed and personally experienced the power of the Thousand Threads Needle, he keenly sensed that the other person had already been struck by the Thousand Threads Needle after the exchange.

His Highness the God King and Brother Yu Xi exchanged a glance and immediately decided to stop for the time being.

The mysterious man then said that he knew the real mysterious man would appear in the secret chamber beneath the altar, which was the true hiding place of the mysterious man.

However, he was like a shy laurel, unwilling to reveal his true face, and we could simply respectfully call him Mr. Chang.

Thus, under Mr. Chang's guidance, we cautiously made our way into the secret chamber beneath the altar, as if walking on thin ice. A thrilling new challenge was about to begin.

We followed Mr. Chang to the entrance of the secret room, where a sinister atmosphere immediately enveloped us.

As soon as you step into the secret room, the mechanism is activated, and countless sharp spikes shoot out from the walls.

Mr. Chang reacted very quickly; he waved his hand and emitted a beam of light, temporarily blocking the spikes.

We seized the opportunity to quicken our pace and venture deeper into the secret chamber.

The deeper you go, the stronger the sense of mystery becomes.

Suddenly, a huge magic circle appeared in front of them, and a figure sat in the circle.

Mr. Chang said in a low voice, "It's him, the mysterious man who was hit by the Thousand Threads Needle."

The mysterious man slowly rose to his feet, exuding an eerie aura, his eyes vacant yet crazed.

His Highness the God King shouted and charged forward first.

The mysterious man raised his hand and waved it, expelling the thousand-thread needles from his body like silk threads at an extremely fast speed.

Brother Yu Xi also joined the battle, cooperating with His Highness the God King in the attack.

As I observed the mysterious man's weaknesses, I suddenly noticed a glint of light flashing on his chest.

I seized the opportunity and rushed forward, trying to destroy the light.

Just as I was about to reach the mysterious man, he suddenly turned around as if he had expected it.

At the same time, the thousand-thread needles that were originally scattered on the ground seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and rushed straight towards me like lightning!
