Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

The people on the street were all young men and women, their faces beaming with happy and content smiles, radiating carefree joy.

The girls wore flowing long dresses, their hems as vibrant as colorful clouds, shimmering enchantingly in the sunlight. The boys, dressed in dashing magic robes, held either magic wands or bouquets of flowers, laughing and playing together.

Here, time stands still, all worries are cast to the winds, leaving only endless joy and happiness.

Shen Ying was deeply attracted by this dreamlike scene and couldn't help but immerse herself in it, as if she were in paradise.

A sudden unease welled up in Kaka's heart; he keenly sensed something was amiss.

Without thinking twice, he immediately cast a spell. A wisp of light emanated from his fingertips and gently brushed against Shen Ying.

The light, like a gentle morning breeze, dispelled the fog in Shen Ying's mind.

Shen Ying was slightly startled, and immediately felt her mind become much clearer. The refreshing feeling was like plunging into a cool lake on a hot summer day.

She blinked, completely shaking off her previous intoxicated state, and began to examine her surroundings with a rational gaze.

In order to find Eric, they cautiously entered this seemingly paradise-like town.

However, as soon as she stepped inside, Shen Ying discovered that her tracking magic had failed. Kaka tried it, and his spell also failed to work.

A sense of unease welled up in Shen Ying's heart. In this small town where everyone's face was filled with happiness, they walked around the town.

Strangely, the only people on the street were these happy young men and women, and they were all couples.

There are no elderly people or children here, nor are there the magical guilds, potion shops, healing stations, and other places that should exist.

The entire town seemed to be under some kind of mysterious magical spell, with only young couples wandering aimlessly.

This place may seem like a dreamlike fairyland, full of sweetness and romance, but in reality it is extremely eerie.

Shen Ying and Kaka stood on the streets of this mysterious and eerie town, their vigilance growing stronger with each unusual sight they witnessed.

Kaka noticed Shen Ying's nervousness, gently took her hand, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

They noticed that all the couples were just smiling and strolling along mechanically. Shen Ying whispered to Kaka, "Something's not right here. We need to be careful."

Kaka nodded, and the two began to carefully observe every corner of the town, trying to find clues about Eric.

They walked along the winding street, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.

The young couples strolled along the street, their faces beaming with happiness. Shen Ying slowed her pace and asked gently, "Excuse me, may I ask you some questions?"

The couple, however, seemed oblivious, still immersed in their own happiness, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Shen Ying moved closer to another couple and raised her voice, asking again, "Hi, can you hear me?"

The couple didn't react at all, just kept their happy, radiant smiles and walked forward side by side.

Shen Ying followed them closely and continued to ask, "If you can hear me, could you blink?"

However, no matter how many times Shen Ying asked, the couples were like puppets whose souls had been taken away, ignoring her words.

Kaka stayed with Shen Ying the whole time. He gently tugged at Shen Ying's sleeve and said, "Their minds have been controlled, and they can't respond to us."

Shen Ying nodded, it seemed that she wouldn't be able to get any useful information from these people.

The two exchanged a glance, and with no other choice, they continued their search. As they passed a dilapidated house, they discovered some strange runes carved on the walls.

These runes emitted a faint dark magic, as if they were pulsating, exuding a sinister and eerie aura.

Shen Ying leaned closer for a closer look, her brows furrowing: "These runes look very strange."

Kaka cautiously reached out, trying to sense the magical fluctuations on the runes, but the moment his fingertips touched them, he felt a chill spread down his arm.

They entered the seemingly abandoned house. An old, worn atmosphere permeated the room; dust swirled in the dim light streaming through the windows, and the walls were covered with faded portraits.

Shen Ying walked forward cautiously, when she suddenly tripped over a protruding wooden plank on the ground and fell forward.

Kaka reacted quickly, grabbing the other person's arm and whispering, "Be careful."

Just as they had gained a foothold, a strange wind suddenly swept through the room, making the portraits rustle loudly.

The wind seemed to come alive, swirling around them, trying to stop them from continuing their exploration.

Shen Ying and Kaka struggled to keep their balance and moved forward with difficulty against the wind.

At this moment, the figures in the portraits seemed to begin to distort and deform, emitting eerie low laughter that sent chills down one's spine.

Shen Ying suppressed her fear and continued to observe her surroundings. Suddenly, she noticed a hidden compartment behind a painting.

However, when she reached out to open the hidden compartment, a powerful magical force surged from it, repelling her hand.

Upon seeing this, Kaka immediately cast a spell in an attempt to suppress the magical power.

With Kaka's efforts, the magic's resistance gradually weakened, and Shen Ying seized the opportunity to reach out again, finally successfully opening the hidden compartment.

[After the hidden compartment was opened, there was a box inside that emitted a faint light. The surface of the box was engraved with ancient and intricate patterns, which seemed to tell a forgotten story.]

Shen Ying reached out and gently touched the box. A sense of antiquity wafted over her, and she could feel the magical fluctuations on the box were closely related to the surrounding curse power.

Kaka cautiously looked around. "Be careful, this power is very strong, it could be dangerous," Kaka whispered a warning.

Shen Ying nodded slightly. She tried to open the box, but found that it was locked by a powerful seal.

She and Kaka exchanged a glance, then together cast a spell, attempting to break the seal.

As the two poured their magic into the box, the light on it grew brighter and brighter, and the seal began to loosen.

Just as the seal was about to be completely broken, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from outside.

The couples who had been wandering aimlessly in the street seemed to have been provoked and rushed towards the house.

Their eyes remained vacant, but their actions became rapid and frantic.

"Oh no, we have to hurry!" Kaka shouted. The two increased their magical output, and finally, the box opened.

Inside were a pair of rusted rings, with wisps of black energy swirling around them.

Shen Ying's mind was filled with fragments of memories that did not belong to her. There was a couple who could not be together because of their family hatred. In despair, they cursed the town, causing all love to fall into eternal illusion and pain.

“These rings must be the source of the curse; we need to find a way to destroy them,” Shen Ying said.

But at that moment, the couple rushed into the house, as if driven by some force, and pounced on Shen Ying and Kaka.

Kaka quickly cast a defensive spell, temporarily protecting the two of them.
