Outside the shopping mall.

The sky had now completely darkened, and a full moon had risen to the zenith.

It was the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and the bright moon, round as a silver platter, with myriad stars arrayed around it, presented a rare and beautiful moonlit night.

Normally, Gu Yu would pause to admire it, but at this moment, he was not in the mood, as his younger sister had entered the building almost two hours ago.

“Why isn’t she out yet?” Gu Yu’s eyes were filled with worry.

This was completely unreasonable. Given his sister’s capabilities, investigating the shopping mall shouldn’t be difficult.

Two hours was truly too long. He paced restlessly back and forth, unable to sit still, and the surrounding police officers, seeing his state, wisely refrained from approaching.

After all, trying to advise him now would likely earn them a scolding.

“No, no matter what, I have to go in and check.”

Another half-quarter of an hour passed, and Gu Yu could no longer sit idly by.

He tightened his grip on the talisman in his hand, deciding not to wait any longer, and strode towards the mall. But before he could take more than a few steps, a tiny figure appeared not far away.

That chubby little face who else could it be but his own sister?

Gu Yu froze for a moment, then quickly rushed over.

Getting closer, he scanned her from head to toe. Finding no visible major injuries on his sister, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, nothing had happened!

Immediately, his long brows furrowed as he asked with confusion, “Did you encounter trouble just now?”

The question was quite reasonable; after all, if she hadn’t encountered anything, how could she have been delayed for so long?

“Mmhmm, there was a bit of trouble, but it’s all resolved now!”

Yao Yao looked up, meeting her Seventh Brother’s anxious gaze, and shook her head apologetically.

The reason for the long delay wasn’t her intention. It was simply that the Blood Pupil was too bizarre; it had actually managed to break through the seal on its own.

If the person who laid down the formation knew that their painstakingly established methods were completely for show, and that the sealed entity came and went as it pleased, they would probably cry themselves unconscious in the bathroom.

Thinking of this, Yao Yao unconsciously raised a hand to touch her brow.

What should have been a fair forehead now bore a red mark. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the mark resembled a simply sketched eye.

“Huh? How did you turn into Erlang Shen?”

Gu Yu had been staring at her, and Yao Yao’s small gesture naturally didn’t escape him.

When he got closer and saw the situation on his sister’s brow, Gu Yu’s long brows subtly quirked.

He remembered clearly that his sister didn’t have this before she went in, so it must have come out from inside.

So, was it because of “it” that she was delayed for so long?

Yao Yao’s mouth immediately puckered at being described that way. She huffily said, “Yao Yao isn’t Erlang Shen! Seventh Brother, you’re talking nonsense.”

At his sister’s reaction, Gu Yu suddenly sensed something amiss.

“It can’t really be an eye, can it?!”

He felt a sudden itch to do something, reaching out to tap his sister’s brow.

Yao Yao’s brows furrowed from the touch. She feared his finger might get bitten off as she ground her molars.

However, she couldn’t refute him, because Seventh Brother had guessed correctly.

This mark was that sealed Blood Pupil.

Yao Yao didn’t know what madness possessed it to suddenly rush into her brow. Even more bizarre was that she could actually control it.

So, for her, this Blood Pupil could be considered a magical artifact, and its grade was significantly higher than anything she could forge herself.

And the power of a Xuanmen cultivator was closely related to their magical artifacts. Yao Yao estimated that if she used the Blood Pupil, she could defeat anyone, even a Ninth-tier cultivator!

Since it was so obedient, Yao Yao just couldn’t bring herself to destroy it!

“Whoa, that cool? Quick, quick, open your Heavenly Eye. Let your Seventh Brother broaden his horizons.”

Gu Yu hadn’t expected to hit the nail on the head and guess the answer directly, and he instantly became excited.

Yao Yao, however, shook her head and refused: “No, it’s a magical artifact. It might hurt Seventh Brother, so I can’t just casually show it.”

This was actually something Yao Yao had made up on the spot. The Blood Pupil was currently in her hand, as easily as controlling her own limbs; there was no possibility of it harming anyone.

She said this simply because she didn’t want Seventh Brother to treat her like a spectacle!

That’s what Yao Yao thought to herself.

“Alright, then we’ll see it later when there’s a chance. Anyway, there’ll be a chance eventually.”

Gu Yu was quite open-minded about it; after all, there’s always a long future ahead, and he firmly believed that.

And now, compared to broadening his horizons, there was clearly a more pressing matter: going home.

The sky was already darkening. By the time they rushed home, it would be eight or nine o’clock. He still remembered that before leaving this morning, Chen Hui had told them to come back early.

If they returned late, he would definitely not escape a good scolding, regardless of whether his sister was alright.

“Mmhmm, let’s go home!” Yao Yao was equally pleased that he was willing to change the subject and quickly caught onto the topic.

Subsequently, the two quickly tidied themselves up, got into the car, and drove home.

On the way, Yao Yao received data from the Action Squad.

Clearly, after several hours of searching, they had identified the deceased.

Yao Yao glanced at the photo on her phone, her gaze pausing involuntarily. The person in the photo had a shiny forehead, ’eight-character’ brows, and a hooked nose.

The first impression given by this appearance was that of someone cunning, lazy, gluttonous, and sly.

But Yao Yao saw much more. She also noticed that his ’Sickness and Evil Palace’—the area in physiognomy associated with health and malevolence—was completely darkened, suggesting numerous illnesses within his body.

Even the kind of illnesses that were contagious.

The reason he appeared at the mall today was to retaliate against society.

And the method of retaliation was simple: he intended to secretly place disease-carrying needles on the public seats in the movie theater.

When others sat down, they wouldn’t notice and would be pricked by the needles.

The needles carried the source of disease, which would spread through the bloodstream.

This could directly ruin the life of an innocent passerby. Yao Yao’s brows unconsciously furrowed as she calculated this.

But the next moment, her brows relaxed again, because before the latter could act, the aura leaked by the Blood Pupil had completely ignited the madness within his heart.

Thus, he lost his life directly.

“You’ve actually done a good deed!”

Yao Yao unconsciously touched the mark on her brow, and a sweet smile couldn’t help but appear on her chubby little face.

For her, major villains who harmed others like this truly deserved to die.

The latter’s soul was utterly destroyed, annihilated by the Blood Pupil.

This unexpected answer suddenly gave Yao Yao a somewhat good impression of the Blood Pupil.

At least it proved that it wasn’t an “evil artifact” and hadn’t claimed any innocent lives.

Gu Yu looked at his sister, who had suddenly broken into a smile, and a strange look couldn’t help but flash in his eyes.
