Masuk"What's going on? We heard the explosion even before we came in! Mrs. Quiller, are you alright?""We brought everything you asked for!"After confirming that Evelyn Bert was unharmed, they placed all the items she requested on the ground in front of her.Evelyn Bert quickly scanned the area, then turned her attention to her surroundings.Noticing something amiss with Evelyn Bert, the village chief cautiously asked, "Mrs. Quiller, is there a problem?"The deputy village chief also chimed in, "If anything is missing, just tell us, and we'll go out right now to find it!"However, after hearing their words, Evelyn Bert solemnly replied, "You can't leave.""What do you mean by that?!"The door was right behind them, and they had just entered through it. How could they not be able to leave?Unconvinced, the two men exchanged a glance and immediately turned to pull the door. Normally, it would open with a slight push, but now it seemed welded shut, refusing to budge no matter how har
However, she quickly figured out the reason behind it all.She deduced that those missing souls must have been completely absorbed by this statue.As Evelyn Bert's gaze swept over the souls, she soon spotted Huo Yueming, whom she had failed to find before.At this moment, Huo Yueming was trapped by a slender black thread on either side of the statue. His aged face was expressionless, and he seemed to be in a daze. Even though Evelyn Bert was standing right in front of him, he showed no reaction, as if he couldn't see her at all.Evelyn Bert naturally knew what was happening to Huo Yueming, so after a brief glance, she shifted her attention back to the statue.After a while, she asked, "When did those expressions on its face first appear?"The village chief and deputy were momentarily speechless at her question.It took a while before they finally responded."Madam Quiller, we... can't quite remember. It seems like it was about a year ago, but we can't recall the exact day.""I
"That thing's capabilities, I believe you've all witnessed. Even if you haven't seen it in action, you should at least be aware of the defensive array around your village. So, I advise you not to imagine things too optimistically."As the saying goes, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.Although she had some confidence in dealing with the statue, there was still a part of uncertainty.After first learning about the existence of Longevity Village, she had Lu Li thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of its residents. This village, nestled deep in the mountains, had been involved in quite a few illegal activities. Even if she managed to save them all, they might still face imprisonment.Of course, Evelyn Bert didn't voice these thoughts. She needed the villagers' help, and revealing such information could cause some to turn against her, leading to more complications. It would be counterproductive.After hearing Evelyn Bert's words, the villagers nodded in agreement:
When these words were spoken, all the villagers present, including the village chief and the deputy, instinctively cast questioning glances at Evelyn Bert and her four companions, as if trying to discern something from their expressions.Facing their intense scrutiny, Evelyn Bert and her group maintained their usual composure. Lu Li took out his phone, waved it, and grinned, "Didn't I tell you over the phone that I needed to bring a friend who's knowledgeable in this area? Here she is. You can discuss matters directly with her. I'm clueless about this, so there's no need to talk to me."As he spoke, Lu Li looked towards Evelyn Bert, signaling to the villagers that she was the one who could save them from their dire situation.After hearing Lu Li's response, the villagers of Longevity Village understood everything. It turned out that the call the village chief had made earlier was to Lu Li, and the important person he mentioned was none other than the seemingly delicate and pampered
"Protect the boss!""Protect the boss!"The henchmen surrounding Lin Yue quickly moved to shield him, their expressions tense as they stared at Qingzhi, who was aiming a firearm directly at Lin Yue. It seemed that any move from Qingzhi would trigger an immediate reaction from them.Lin Yue, protected by his men, looked at Evelyn Bert and Qingzhi with a grim expression. His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to tear Evelyn Bert apart.After a moment of silence, Lin Yue spoke through gritted teeth, "You really are my good niece. No wonder your aunts died in your hands."As he said this, Lin Yue's face was contorted with anger.However, when Evelyn Bert heard his words, a faint smile appeared on her delicate face. She retorted, "Mr. Lin, as the saying goes, you can eat whatever you want, but you shouldn't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence that Rita Clare and the others died at my hands? If you don't have any evidence, I will sue you for defamation. Of course
"And all we need to do is get them all inside during this time," Evelyn Bert said. Her words instantly enlightened the four people in the car.Indeed, once they dealt with these three divine statues, what could Mayor Qin's people do even if they found out?One of them was the current head of the century-old Huo family, another the future head of the Lu family, a former chief of MS, an elite proficient in various firearms, and a special assistant who navigated among powerful figures. What could Mayor Qin, no matter how influential, do to them?If there was anyone difficult for them to handle, it would probably be the high-ranking expert hidden by Mayor Qin, helping him lay out his plans. Otherwise, how could Mayor Qin, an elite from the Z world, possibly come up with such a grand scheme, especially in this field?But even if that expert could help Mayor Qin make a comeback, they had Evelyn Bert and Elder Zhong as their trump cards. The two of them combined should be more than enough
The vengeful spirit had transformed into a child throwing a tantrum. When Evelyn Bert realized the spirit's intention, she tried to jump off its body but was entangled by an extra hand of the spirit.Evelyn Bert fell to the ground, and her peachwood sword was knocked out of her hand by the thrashin
As the conversation on this topic came to an end, no more mentions of Yuezhou County were heard in the car. Instead, after a while, heavy breathing could be heard from time to time.Evelyn Bert, sitting in the passenger seat, gazed out the window at the scenery flashing by, her fair and delicate fa
Finally, when Orville Quiller released her lips, Evelyn Bert was like a person about to drown, gasping for fresh air in large gulps.She hadn't felt this close to drowning in a long time.However, before she could catch her breath, the man's next move began. This time, she didn't even want to stru
This was something he would never forget for the rest of his life, and it was also the thing he regretted the most as he grew up.Seeing that Nanfeng had no intention of continuing, July and Luli naturally didn't ask further. After all, they knew that if someone truly wanted to share something, the
