Chapter 13 : The Sacrifice of Seven Children!

Next, Beige and Su Wanrong walked around the entire construction site and found several other places where evil energy was present. Without exception, each location had an underground black altar buried, containing corpse oil and a child wrapped in a red cloth soaked in the oil. Four boys and three girls in total! "Beige, what did you discover?" Su Wanrong couldn't help but ask. She had never walked so much in her life, and her feet were now in excruciating pain. Beige turned to look at her seriously and said, "Children. In the nine places we just walked past, there is a child buried underground in each one." "What?" Su Wanrong was shocked by his words and exclaimed, "Chil-children..." Beige nodded and continued, "The children are just one part of it. There is another key point that I haven't found yet. What did we overlook?" After thinking for a moment, Su Wanrong said, "You mean having children alone is not enough. There must be something else that needs to be combined with them for this scheme to work, right?" Beige replied, "You're not wrong in understanding it that way." "But burying nine children here definitely indicates a major calamity. Having children alone is not enough; there must be..." He suddenly stopped speaking. Su Wanrong instinctively swallowed her saliva and asked in a trembling voice, "What else is needed?" "Mother!" Beige uttered the two words heavily. If he guessed correctly, this scheme here should be the "Sacrifice of Seven Children to the Mother." If there are children, there must be a mother, but he hadn't found this "mother" yet. Su Wanrong was stunned by his words and asked, "The key point you mentioned is a woman?" Beige nodded and said, "Yes. But we've searched all the houses and haven't found her. We must have overlooked something." Su Wanrong suggested, "If she's not in the houses, could she be somewhere else?" Beige's eyes lit up upon hearing this and he said, "In the Sacrifice of Seven Children to the Mother, the mother must be in the central position. Where is the center of the construction site?" Su Wanrong quickly replied, "The center of the construction site is a park. I'll take you there." The two of them arrived at the central park, where many green trees were planted, and one ancient tree stood out. Beige ran towards the ancient tree and circled around it, saying, "It's here!" Through his Heavenly Eye, he saw a huge black altar buried underground beneath the ancient tree. It was filled with corpse oil, just like the previous seven locations. However, this time, the oil contained the body of a woman dressed in red. "It really is the Sacrifice of Seven Children to the Mother scheme!" Beige was secretly shocked. This kind of malicious and against the natural order scheme was usually practiced by those evil experts. It seemed that this Yinghui Villa had caught the attention of one of those evil experts. Upon hearing Beige's words, Su Wanrong was taken aback and asked, "What is the Sacrifice of Seven Children to the Mother scheme?" Beige sighed and explained, "The Sacrifice of Seven Children to the Mother is a type of evil scheme, extremely malicious." "The person setting up the scheme needs to find seven children who were conceived in September, forcibly extract them before they are born, and then immerse them in corpse oil, making them believe they are still inside their mother's body." "After gathering the children, they also need a woman who dies during her first childbirth due to complications. Because she died without seeing her own child, she holds immense resentment." "Finally, the woman and the seven children are connected in the scheme, creating the Sacrifice of Seven Children to the Mother scheme." "Once the scheme is complete, people will continuously die because the seven children need to harm others to provide for their mother." Su Wanrong was shocked by his words and had a horrified expression on her face. She stammered, "Are you saying that there are... buried under this tree?" She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence; it was too mind-boggling. Beige nodded and said, "There are seven children buried underground at the construction site, and here lies a woman who died during childbirth." "Beige..." Su Wanrong's body began to tremble violently, and she said in a trembling voice, "Let's leave quickly, okay? This place is too scary..." Her voice carried a hint of crying. Seeing the fear on her face, Beige nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave first. I'll figure out how to deal with these things later." They ran all the way, but surprisingly, Beige, with his speed, had trouble keeping up with Su Wanrong. The two hurriedly left the construction site of the villa. Su Wanrong's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the grass by the roadside, feeling the warm afternoon sunlight and gasping for breath. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, making her feel uncomfortable and sticky. Beige approached her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" After catching her breath for a moment, Su Wanrong wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Beige, since you can see the problem, you must have a solution, right?" "Please, help my father..." Beige handed her a tissue and reassured her, "Don't worry, you don't need to say anything. I will handle this." "Not only will I resolve it, but I will also find out who is behind this evil scheme! Using children in a scheme, aren't they afraid of divine retribution?" "And also, I suspect that someone has tampered with your father's illness. Take me to see him quickly." Su Wanrong snapped back to reality and said anxiously, "Okay, let's go now." However, as she tried to get up, she exclaimed in pain and fell back onto the ground. "What's wrong?" Beige was startled, thinking that she had been affected by the evil energy inside. "It's nothing!" Su Wanrong blushed a little and said softly, "I... I have blisters on my feet, and they hurt so much..." Beige chuckled and teased, "I neglected to consider that I brought along a young lady who has never walked long distances." "If you don't mind, can I take a look?" Su Wanrong nodded gently, her cheeks turning a charming shade of red. Beige crouched down and held Su Wanrong's ankle, helping her take off her shoes. A fair and delicate foot appeared before his eyes, emitting a slight scent of sweat. There were indeed several blisters on the sole of her foot, each the size of a finger, and they had turned white from being rubbed. Su Wanrong seemed anxious and whispered, "What are you looking at? Stop looking." Beige smiled faintly, took out a silver needle, and punctured the blisters for her before moving on to the other foot. After finishing up, Beige stood up and said, "Alright, try taking a few steps now." Su Wanrong put on her shoes and stood up. As soon as she took a step, a sharp pain shot through the broken skin on her foot, causing her legs to go weak. She exclaimed and lunged towards Beige. Startled, Beige quickly reached out and caught her, holding her in his arms. In that instant, the beauty was in his embrace, and he felt a soft and full sensation in his palm, causing his mind to go blank. Subconsciously, he squeezed. He seemed to have touched an inappropriate place. At that moment, Su Wanrong was also dazed. She could clearly feel that the hand on her chest had squeezed, causing her to feel an electric shock-like sensation throughout her body, making her tremble and dare not move. After a moment, Su Wanrong couldn't help but speak softly to Beige, "You... you should let go quickly!" "Huh?" Beige finally realized what had happened and quickly released her, his face turning red in embarrassment. "Um... Miss Su... I didn't mean to..." For some reason, Beige had the urge to turn around and run away. At this moment, Su Wanrong also felt her face burning. She had never been touched by a man in that way before. The sensation was like being electrocuted, making her whole body feel numb. "It's... it's alright!" Su Wanrong had to change the subject and said, "Let's go to the hospital quickly. My father is still waiting." Beige regained his composure and said, "Okay, I'll follow you now." However, as Su Wanrong tried to get up, she exclaimed, "Ouch!" and fell back onto the ground. "What's wrong?" Beige was startled, thinking that she had been affected by the evil energy. "It's nothing!" Su Wanrong's face was a little embarrassed as she said softly, "I... I have blisters on my feet, and they hurt so much..." Beige chuckled and teased, "I neglected to consider that I brought along a young lady who has never walked long distances." "If you don't mind, can I take a look?" Su Wanrong nodded gently, her cheeks turning a charming shade of red. Beige crouched down and held Su Wanrong's ankle, helping her take off her shoes.

Beige finally realized what had happened and quickly released her, his face turning red in embarrassment. "Um... Miss Su... I didn't mean to..." For some reason, Beige had the urge to turn around and run away. At this moment, Su Wanrong also felt her face burning. She had never been touched by a man in that way before. The sensation was like being electrocuted, making her whole body feel numb. "It's... it's alright!" Su Wanrong had to change the subject and said, "Let's go to the hospital quickly. My father is still waiting." Beige regained his composure and said, "Okay, I'll follow you now." "Ah? Oh, okay!" Beige hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, let's go quickly." There was a taxi when they came, but now they had to walk back. This place was notorious for being deserted, and taxis never dared to come here. On the way, Beige and Su Wanrong fell silent, focusing only on hurrying along. They walked all the way to the main road outside, where they finally hailed a taxi and headed towards the hospital where Su Wanrong's father was.
