At the thought, a smile appeared on Wenren Mirror’s face:
"Little Tree, you really are surprising. As expected, there are many things about you that I can learn from."
Wen Xishu said:
"Senior, how are we supposed to enter here?"
Although they had erased their presence, the gate was tightly closed, and once they entered... the villagers of Ren Dong Village would probably become immediately alert again.
At first glance, these villagers had found "happiness." But they rejected letting outsiders obtain that "happiness."
Perhaps there was some underlying reason here.
All in all, if Wen Xishu entered the residence forcefully, even Wenren Mirror’s methods might not be able to protect them.
Wenren Mirror said:
"We are merely paying a friendly visit; just knock on the door."
With that, Wenren Mirror indeed knocked on the door very courteously.
After a short while, someone from the Morioka Residence opened the door.
Facing the puzzled gaze of the person who opened the door, Wenren Mirror simply gave a faint smile:
"Please ignore us, we mean no harm, we just came here for a visit."
This time, Wenren Mirror’s method failed.
Because as soon as the gate of the Morioka Residence opened—
The villagers who had initially ignored Wenren Mirror and Wen Xishu, all stood up in unison, surrounding Wen Xishu and Wenren Mirror.
Their gazes gradually turned unfriendly.
Wenren Mirror sighed:
"It seems... my method failed. This means, to them, outsiders entering is an extremely dangerous matter deep within their hearts."
"They do not allow this to happen."
Wen Xishu had already grasped the Scorpio’s cheating knife.
This knife had the ability to stop time; he was confident that he could deal with all the villagers during the consecutive pauses.
However, once again, Wen Xishu’s violent action was interrupted from being cast.
Because Wenren Mirror directly walked into the residence.
"Let’s go. I have activated the sequence. They have lost their malice towards us. As long as we stay out of their sight momentarily, we will not be harmed."
Indeed, Wen Xishu suddenly found... the gazes around them became friendly again.
He recalled that Wenren Mirror, who was summoned by the disruptor Jessica, also had such an ability, causing even the priest to lose his will to fight at the time.
So strong.
Though unable to use violence, Wenren Mirror was so powerful... that the necessity for violence almost became nonexistent.
The Compass began to turn.
Under the guidance of the Compass, the two soon arrived at a crucial place.
It was a room in the Morioka Residence where altars were enshrined.
But the Compass continued to spin incessantly.
"Logically, the target should be right here." Wen Xishu said.
This place was already a forbidden area of the Morioka Family. No matter who it was, even the villagers or people from the Morioka Residence, were not allowed to approach.
On ordinary days, only Morioka and those seeking blessings from Morioka were allowed to enter here.
Wenren Mirror looked at those altars:
"They are merely ornaments, not possessing any eerie power. But I indeed feel that there’s something with great power very near us."
Wen Xishu observed the wildly rotating needle of the Compass. He knew that there must be something with immense energy nearby.
Having consumed Arnold’s finger, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked at the floor, at the tatami on the ground:
"I understand now... there’s a basement here! I think I might know where the little boy is hidden."
Soon, under Wen Xishu’s tapping... he found a tatami, and from the sound of the tapping, he judged that it was hollow below.
At this moment, a weak voice, mingled with many male and female voices, came through.
"Brother, is that you?"
