Diana awoke from the darkness, seeing a ceiling covered in talismans.
At that mont, a series of "thump thump" sounds echoed in her ears.
"Master, you’ve finally awakened!"
Diana turned her head to see rows of servants in white robes kneeling by her bedside.
"...What happened?" Diana asked.
"You suddenly fainted," one servant hurriedly explained, "as if afflicted by so curse. No matter how we called you, it was of no use, we even thought you..."
The servant dared not finish.
Yet Diana had already recalled everything in Taoyuan Village.
That person...
The one with fingers and eyes...
Diana lowered her head, gazing at the ring finger of her right hand.
The ring finger was still intact on her hand, just as original, slender and beautiful.
She gently curled her finger.
Suddenly, countless intangible threads surfaced.
These threads scattered like spider webs, landing on the ground, then spread out in all directions.
"Has sothing happened to my Contractor?" Diana asked.
"No, Master, your Contractor has no issues," the servant replied, "Not a single one... so we don’t understand what happened to you."
Diana fell silent.
No issues with the Contractor, aning being drawn into Taoyuan Village posed no harm to her.
Otherwise, any harm should be borne by the Contractor, even death.
But this did not reassure Diana, because it likely indicated that what the other party intended for her was sothing she couldn’t transfer with the [Contract].
Moreover, what concerned her more was.
That the other party actually knew she ca from Contract Land, otherwise they wouldn’t have asked that question.
But how could that be possible?
"Master?" The servant, seeing Diana maintaining a stern face, worriedly asked, "Are you...?"
Diana did not speak, but instead got off the bed and swiftly walked out of the room.
She then stood under the moonlight, observing the scene before her.
This was a colossal, whirlpool-shaped building that plunged layer by layer into the deepest part of the underground, spanning hundreds of layers.
Each layer had hundreds of rooms, each room fronted by a two-ter-high magic power pillar, filled with sealing spells, which extended down via specialized iron chains, straight into the Abyss.
Diana slightly squinted her eyes, softly speaking.
"Visas..."
"At this point, who is still probing your existence?"
...
Rocky suddenly opened his eyes.
The colossal ancient tree and the three shadows beneath it had vanished, replaced by the familiar desk and docunts.
This was his office... aning he had already left Taoyuan Village.
Rocky tried hard to recall the last scene in Taoyuan Village.
He saw Ulu conversing with that ring finger, the finger trembling, evidently startled by Ulu’s question.
...So what exactly did that person ask?
Damn it, only he himself knew nothing, having entered Taoyuan Village twice, lost two fingers, yet gained no information.
Thinking of this made Rocky feel hardened.
His fist hardened.
No, stay calm, Rocky.
Carefully consider what the situation is now.
Rocky slightly squinted his eyes.
The most direct point was whether Ulu was in Wildfire or not. If so, what was his relationship with the Seven-Tone Player hunted by the Holy Sound?
Were they allies, or... competitors?
Logically, the two had already gathered together, and the things done sequentially matched roughly, and Ulu knew that guy’s information.
So they could very likely be allies.
Yet being allies is improbable.
After all, Ulu had directly taken the opponent’s information to trade; if they were allies, that would be betrayal, right?
But thinking from another angle, they very likely tead up to fish, deceiving people to co and kill.
Just like the one who won Ulu’s tooth. If the tooth used the information to find that Seven-Tone Player, they would face an ambush from the two, trading four corpse blocks for one; it’s unmistakably a loss.
However, even he could think of that, that guy called Tooth... wait, what does it an even he could think of it?
Rocky suddenly slapped his own head, cursing "truly incoherent, scolding myself."
But that guy should indeed be able to think of this too.
So, would that guy go to find them?
If so, whether win or lose, a troubleso person possessing three corpse blocks would erge.
Rocky tightly furrowed his brows.
And that ring finger, who exactly was she? What information did she reveal to Ulu? Would it affect Rhein’s pursuit of Ulu?
Rocky was also concerned about this.
Speaking of which, where is Fig’s Devourer? Why hasn’t it found Ulu yet? How can Ulu swagger into Taoyuan Village?
Such an inept!
If it had dealt with Ulu sooner, he wouldn’t have lost another finger.
But speaking of which, if Ulu were disposed of, who would his two corpse blocks fall into the hands of?
... Most likely under Lango’s reign.
Would Lango’s reign initiate Taoyuan Village?
