Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 496 Strange

Lu Zechuan squinted his eyes slightly. When he first obtained this soul bag from the Secret Realm, he felt this thing was too eerie.

Xia Mian was also worried that leaving this thing in the Mystical World would cause trouble, so she kept it with her.

Now, this thing suddenly started glowing. Is it trying to rebel?

Even though Xia Mian had her eyes closed, Lu Zechuan’s gaze was too obvious for her to ignore.

At that moment, she helplessly opened her eyes.

Then, she noticed there was something on her glowing.

Xia Mian raised an eyebrow. After coming out of the Secret Realm, she had set a restriction on this soul bag, making it not so easy for it to absorb others’ souls anytime, anywhere.

But even so, the fact that it still dared to make a move now made Xia Mian quite puzzled.

Could it be that this little thing had discovered something extraordinary?

Just as this thought emerged in Xia Mian’s mind, the glow from the soul bag intensified.

"What does this thing want to do?" Xia Mian was somewhat baffled.

Lu Zechuan gently squinted his eyes and said softly, "Could it have discovered something?"

The soul bag seems to enhance its power by absorbing souls.

Although it chose to follow her initially, it was attracted by the Cat Claw Jade.

Therefore, these two things actually have something in common, being particularly sensitive to some ominous aura?

Just as this thought popped up in Xia Mian’s mind, the soul bag suddenly flew off from her.

The soul bag, emitting a golden glow, flickered continuously in front of the car, seemingly urging Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian to follow it.

Lu Zechuan glanced at Xia Mian, exchanging a look.

Xia Mian nodded slightly.

She was also very curious about what this thing wanted to accomplish.

The soul bag flew ahead, with Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian driving behind in pursuit.

In no time, the soul bag led the two to an abandoned village.

The two of them got out of the car and stood at the entrance of the abandoned village, each wearing a hint of bewilderment on their faces.

The village appeared to have some age to it, the whole area covered in a layer of desolation.

The soul bag hovered above the village, excited like a child.

As the soul bag continued to hop up and down, it seemed to gradually absorb some invisible force from within the village.

Xia Mian’s brows furrowed tightly, her expression filled with seriousness, "It seems like a lot of people have died here."

Xia Mian’s senses were sharp; as soon as she approached here, she noticed the heavy yin energy.

Not only had people died here, but quite a few had perished! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

If she wasn’t mistaken, this village must have been annihilated!

Xia Mian pursed her lips slightly; judging by the level of abandonment, the people in this village should have been dead for at least three years.

Otherwise, they would have smelled a stench of corpses the moment they approached the village.

"Let’s go!" Lu Zechuan frowned, "This isn’t something we should be concerned about."

Even if the entire village had been wiped out, there should be designated departments to handle such matters, not the two of them as citizens.

Xia Mian hummed in agreement, not intending to meddle in this matter.

She and Lu Zechuan were out to relax; since they had already had their fun, it was time to head home and not get entangled in things that had nothing to do with them.

Just as Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan turned to leave, a low wailing sound seemed to echo from deep within the village.

In this silent night, the low wailing pierced through their eardrums, making their hair stand on end.

Xia Mian’s footsteps halted.

She originally planned to ignore the happenings here.

But this wailing, it sounded like it came from an underage child...

Struggle flickered across Xia Mian’s face. After a brief pause, she took a deep breath and decisively turned around, "Let’s go check it out."

This whole village was completely eradicated, and despite so much time having passed, there hadn’t been any reports about it.

If she simply walked away today, the lives of everyone in this village would mean nothing.

No one could bring them justice.

This time, Lu Zechuan had nothing more to say.

Whatever Xia Mian wanted to do, he would support unconditionally.

The two walked toward the inside of the abandoned village, with the soul bag leading the way.

It flew forward, continuously absorbing souls.

Xia Mian’s expression grew increasingly grave.

The deeper they walked into the village, the heavier the yin energy became.

Just how many people must have been killed for there to be such a heavy presence of yin energy?

Xia Mian’s face was grim, and Lu Zechuan’s expression wasn’t much better.

He originally thought there were no more beings from the Otherworld in the current world, but now, here, he felt the presence of someone not belonging to this world.

"We might have overlooked something all along," Lu Zechuan’s thin lips slightly parted, speaking softly, "These entities didn’t appear because we opened a passage; they have existed in this world long before we possessed magic."

Xia Mian lightly lowered her gaze, "If that’s the case, then we need to put an end to all their misdeeds."

Yes, if these entities didn’t exist all along, what purpose would the Supernatural Event Investigation Bureau serve?

Obviously, that bureau was established way before they were born...

Xia Mian exhaled a deep breath, proceeding towards the direction of the wailing sounds.

It was coming from a well.

The well was deep, covered by a massive stone slab.

The wailing was echoing from beneath the well.

The soul bag bounced up and down at the well entrance, as if something dear to it was inside.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes slightly, standing silently at the well’s mouth.

The entity inside seemed to sense someone approaching, causing the wailing to grow louder.

An indistinct roar also resonated from below the well.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of gravity in each other’s eyes.

The being down there might either be a victim or a perpetrator.

The soul bag relentlessly knocked on the stone slab, as if trying to smash it to pieces.

Had Xia Mian not set a restriction prior, the moment it touched that stone slab, it would have dissolved into nothing.

But now, even with all its efforts to jump up and down, the stone slab remained unmoved.

Xia Mian raised her hand slightly, a wave of spiritual energy converging at her fingertips.

She needed to ask directly to determine whether the entity below was good or evil.

Even if it was evil, she and Lu Zechuan could easily eliminate it here!

With that thought, Xia Mian directed her fingers towards the stone slab.

Guided by her control, the spiritual energy slowly lifted the slab.

As the slab gently rose into the air, a shadow dashed out from the well!

The soul bag moved instantly, and just as the shadow was about to be absorbed by it, Xia Mian quickly flicked the soul bag aside.
