Zhou Yingting waved his hand casually and said a word.

Yu Lingxin naturally didn't know; if it weren't for this candle at that time, those who went would all have died there.

Fang You had just had that mysterious encounter for a short time and almost died.

Given the terrifying nature of these eerie entities, they really couldn't last long in the hands of these anomalies.

No wonder that guy, after seeing someone coming to the door, wasn't afraid at all but went straight back to the house.

"This doesn't look like nothing happened."

Yu Lingxin looked at the candle; it was already burned almost to the base.

If things were really easy to solve, this candle wouldn't have burned so much; it surely burned for quite a while to resolve the trouble.

Zhou Yingting looked at Yu Lingxin's worried expression and smiled, "Look, I'm fine, aren't I? My clothes aren't dirty."

As he spoke, Zhou Yingting patted his own clothes, seeming to take on the demeanor of a high master.

Yu Lingxin looked at Zhou Yingting's demeanor and burst into laughter, then punched Zhou Yingting.

"Brother, you're way too vain."

Zhou Yingting smiled and set the candle aside.

Then he asked Yu Lingxin to turn around because he wanted to check her hair and such carefully.

"Brother, what's up?"

Yu Lingxin was a bit puzzled but still turned around to let Zhou Yingting inspect.

"Among those who went together before, one person's son also had his life borrowed, but since his son had his life borrowed a lot, his body then aged rapidly."

"I'll check your hair for any white hairs or similar things; perhaps it can roughly indicate your physical condition."

Zhou Yingting's words instantly made Yu Lingxin tense up.

"No way, Brother, I don't have white hair, do I?"

She thought she should be fine as per Zhou Yingting's previous words, never expecting such a hidden concern still awaited her.

With that thought in mind, she instantly panicked.

Zhou Yingting checked carefully and confirmed there wasn't any white hair, nor were there any wrinkles on her face.

After a thorough inspection, confirming there were no issues, Zhou Yingting patted her shoulder.

"According to that person's words, if your life was borrowed excessively, abnormalities should have already appeared now."

"You don't seem to have any issues now, so the problem shouldn't be significant. I'll see if I can get some Longevity Pill for you later."

After confirming everything was alright, Zhou Yingting reassured her.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lingxin relaxed and then glanced at her phone, seeing a message from her good sister Fang Yunyun arranging to meet up at night.

At the end, Fang Yunyun tentatively asked if Zhou Yingting would come along.

Yu Lingxin understood Fang Yunyun's thoughts just by looking at her inquiry.

But.....

"Brother, I've arranged with Fang Yunyun to hang out together tonight, do you want to come along?"

Zhou Yingting shook his head at the invitation, "You guys go ahead, I won't join."

The guy had already been dealt with, so there was no need for Zhou Yingting to go.

Yu Lingxin took a look at her phone; this meant her good sister would probably be disappointed.

Thinking this, she felt helpless.

"Brother, really not coming?"

She thought it over and persuaded once more, hoping to delight Fang Yunyun.

"You go by yourself, I still have to continue entering the instance later; can't always be with you. You need to learn to cope with situations on your own."

"Remember to carry the candle I gave you."

Zhou Yingting, hearing Yu Lingxin's insistence, thought she might be scared, and immediately offered comfort.

Being this scared wasn't right; after all, he couldn't always watch over her.

Besides, the mastermind had already been resolved; under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any danger.

Yu Lingxin, hearing this, knew Zhou Yingting wouldn't attend and obediently replied.

Then Yu Lingxin picked up her makeup supplies and started to get ready to go out with her good sister.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yingting sat aside, checking messages from Zhang Yi.

After clearing that borrowed-life guy, Zhou Yingting thought that room had been searched enough. Yet, he didn't expect that the people from the 14th Bureau went and found some other things.

These things weren't any entries or such, purely some documentation.

For example, how many lives this guy borrowed and where he came from.

The people from the 14th Bureau used their special entries to analyze these.

Zhou Yingting looked into the 14th Bureau's message carefully.

According to their findings, only this guy came out of that instance, and the anomaly he carried originated from, and was symbiotically bound with the entry.

Upon his death, the other anomalies would perish too.

But from this, Zhou Yingting began noticing some issues.

If that's the case, when those guys took the entries, if used, would anomalies automatically arise?

With this thought, Zhou Yingting pondered deeply.

Continuing to read, he spotted some more information.

Despite not being around long, this guy has already borrowed the lives of over a thousand people.

The total borrowed lifespan reached tens of thousands of years!

Zhou Yingting, upon seeing this information, couldn't help but gasp.

Tens of thousands of years of lifespan?

If he owned such lifespan, he could easily use entries to exchange life for attributes and dominate quickly.

But the problem should not be that simple.

If it were that simple and easy, the opposite wouldn't have rushed; they could have taken their time.

Thinking about Wu Zhongyi's child losing most of his lifespan, seemingly in urgency.

Considering this, Zhou Yingting continued to read.

"By the way, during the life borrowing, the other party gave Yu Lingxin Blood Gold. Shouldn't that be the condition?"

"If there isn't enough Blood Gold, can't the life borrowing demand be met?"

With this thought, Zhou Yingting closely examined his phone.

But from Zhang Yi's message, he didn't see any mention of Blood Gold.

"Didn't find Blood Gold in that person's house?"

Thinking it through, Zhou Yingting sent a message to Zhang Yi.

Zhou Yingting had searched earlier without finding any Blood Gold, though he didn't dwell on it then.

Now that he thought about it, Zhou Yingting sensed potential issues.

"Blood Gold? The bureau folks said there wasn't any."

"None?"

Seeing Zhang Yi's message, Zhou Yingting feels puzzled.

Does it mean life borrowing doesn't indeed need Blood Gold? Other things suffice?

Why did the other party include Blood Gold previously?

Contemplating this, things seemed more troubling, perhaps the lack of Blood Gold after its use for previous borrowing didn't allow further continuation?

Thinking it over, Zhou Yingting reached out to Liu Feiyu.

"Did you take that guy's entry as mentioned before?"

Liu Feiyu replied swiftly, "Got it."

"Got it?"

If that's the case, the other party should know, right?

With this thought, Zhou Yingting inquired further, "What's the negative effect of this entry? Does life borrowing require equivalent Blood Gold?"

"Equivalent Blood Gold payment?"

Liu Feiyu pondered upon hearing this, then picked up the entry, examining it closely. Previously, she hadn't noticed; now, a look nearly caused her hand to shake, almost dropping the entry to the ground.
