Being questioned by Zi Lingsha, Qin Shi could not help but feel his scalp tingle. Zi Lingsha had guessed correctly, the reason he was in this state was because of his clone in the outside world.
He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "My clone lost."
"What?"
Zi Lingsha's eyes widened in shock, "That maid is only at the initial success stage of the Domain Realm, how could your clone lose?"
Qin Shi shook his head, "We have all underestimated her. Although she is only at the initial success stage of the Domain Realm, she is a Curse Domain Realm Talisman Master."
"What?
She is actually at the Curse Domain Realm? "Zi Lingsha exclaimed.
Qin Shi revealed a bitter expression. This was something that even he had not noticed. Just now, his clone had been blocking the female attendant outside. He had not expected that after exchanging a hundred moves, he would actually fall into such a huge disadvantage. Just now, when he was breaking out of this iron prison, his main body had expended too much energy. The female attendant's eyes were extremely crafty, and she had grasped the opportunity to directly destroy his clone.
He coldly said, "I have underestimated her, but fortunately, I have already lured her out of the You Court and created an illusion to send Xue Xin away. She should not be in danger."
Qin Shi was burning with anxiety, he was worried about Qin Xue Xin.
"Brat, you don't have to worry too much, that lass's strength is above yours. There are no World Realm experts in the You Court, unless the Puppet Team sends more people, no one in the You Court can harm her. Moreover, the Puppet Team has painstakingly trained her for many years, but they have never harmed her life. They must be very useful to her, so they will not harm her easily." The demon paused for a moment, then said, "The most important thing now is to find clues about the Dream Manipulation Technique."
Hearing this, Qin Shi fell silent for a moment, then nodded. He was not an indecisive person, since it had already happened, he should think of a way to make up for it.
He quickly formed a hand seal, and his psychic energy instantly spread out with him as the center, like a stone falling into a calm sea, instantly creating huge waves that spread out in all directions.
Qin Shi saw everything that the Psyche Power passed through.
"The most important thing now is to find a way to break the Dream Manipulation Technique." Qin Shi thought to himself as he used his telekinesis to scan the entire Castellan Manor.
However, he couldn't help but frown. The entire City Lord's Mansion had been explored by him, but he didn't find anything related to the Puppet Group or the Dream Control Technique.
"Shi Tou, look over there!" Zi Lingsha suddenly shouted at him.
Qin Shi turned around and focused. He saw that Zi Lingsha was pointing at an ancient book with a strange seal on it.
Qin Shi slowly walked forward and undid the seal on the ancient book, then flipped through it page by page. He couldn't help but frown. The book actually recorded the names of all the people in the You Court, just like the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld. What was even more shocking was that at the back of the book, there were even the names of him, Zi Lingsha, Qin Xue Xin, Luo Fan, and the others.
This startled him and he said, "Looks like we've underestimated the Serene Court. Team Bi has this place under their control. They've known about our appearance since a long time ago."
Zi Lingsha also frowned slightly. She said, "But where are the people from the Puppet Group?
In the entire You Court, other than the maidservant, there's no trace of the Puppet Group. "
Qin Shi rubbed his forehead with his thumb. This was what he was frustrated about.
For so many years, the Puppet Group was in the dark while he was in the light. This time, he thought he could change this relationship and take the initiative to attack the Puppet Group. He didn't expect that he would still fall into their trap.
Qin Shi put the book away and said, "Let's leave this place first and think of a countermeasure."
Zi Lingsha nodded. Soon after, the three of them left the City Lord's Estate.
After leaving the City Lord's Estate, the three of them once again appeared in this puppet-like city. The feeling of being out of place made them feel extremely unhappy.
When it was close to evening, Luo Fan bid farewell to the two of them. Qin Shi and Zi Lingsha returned to the Forgotten God Restaurant. To be honest, Qin Shi was very worried about Qin Xue Xin during this period of time. He just didn't show it.
Suddenly, Zi Lingsha touched the corner of her mouth. "Forget it. Seeing how nervous you are, I'll help you find her."
Qin Shi was stunned. He immediately looked at Zi Lingsha with gratitude.
"Don't look at me like that. I just don't want to be with a bitter face like you. You're really looking for trouble." Zi Lingsha snorted.
Qin Shi laughed dryly a few times before thanking him softly.
"However, let's make this clear. I can help you find her, but you can't act recklessly. No matter what, you have to wait for us to come back before you act." Zi Lingsha said seriously.
Qin Shi nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Zi Lingsha suddenly shook her head and muttered to herself, "Sigh, forget it. It's useless to talk to you. If you can listen to people's advice, then even pigs can climb trees."
"Uh …!" Qin Shi couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He knew his personality and laughed dryly.
"Alright, I know that it's impossible for you to stay still. However, you have to be careful when you act. Since Team Pi already knows that we're here, we're at a disadvantage. The enemy is in the dark while we're in the light. Think twice and be cautious."
Zi Lingsha paused and said, "I know that you hate Team Pi to the bone. However, you have to believe that my hatred for them is no less than yours. I also know that you want to protect everyone around you, including me. You don't want us to be in danger. But you have to remember, people are emotional. Put yourself in others' shoes. We are the same. We don't want you to be in danger. You have too many responsibilities. Don't be in danger. I know that all these years, you have been tracking the whereabouts of your brother. Don't worry, I'll accompany you. I'll be with you all the way. I only hope that you won't push me away."
After saying that, Zi Lingsha stood up and left.
Before she left, she silently said in her heart, "Qin Shi, you must persevere and live on. Then walk to the peak."
Qin Shi was left alone in the guest room. He couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Zi Lingsha's last words kept flashing in his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes were filled with loneliness at the last moment.
"I really owe her too much." Qin Shi let out a long sigh.
After Zi Lingsha left, Qin Shi's black eyes gradually became clear. A trace of killing intent emerged like a spring.
He said coldly, "It's time to fight back. I can't always be suppressed like this."
Then, he stood up and left the Forgetting God Restaurant.
He walked alone on the streets of this puppet-like city. His telekinesis was constantly monitoring the changes in the surroundings.
Suddenly, in an alley, just as Qin Shi turned around, a very green voice came from behind Qin Shi.
"Big brother …!"
Hearing this, Qin Shi's black eyes couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he subconsciously turned around and was stunned.
If it was said that the people in this entire city were set up and nothing was mixed with emotions, then he could feel the existence of humanity in this young man's face.
"He's not being controlled?"
An idea popped up in Qin Shi's mind. He immediately looked around. Seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he stood up and left.
"Come, big brother, come over here."
Seeing that Qin Shi had followed, the young man waved at Qin Shi again. Then, he turned around and ran a few steps forward. He poked at the pebbles on the ground, flipped a stone slab, and jumped down.
Qin Shi followed, his eyes flashing with a strange light. But he still jumped down. After all, it was not easy to see a "living person" in this city full of puppets.
This stone slab road was a dark space. Qin Shi used his telekinesis to detect the situation around him. Then, when he saw the scenery in this space, he couldn't help but frown.
He saw that in this space, there was a large amount of food. These food were all expensive treasures in the outside world. This made Qin Shi frown. How did such a young child have the money to buy these things?
Seeing that Qin Shi was strange, the child said generously, "Big brother, are you hungry too?
It's okay, eat as much as you want. It's my treat. "
"Where did you get these things?" Qin Shi asked.
The little boy couldn't help but be stunned. As if he could see that Qin Shi was dead or alive, he said, "Uh … This, this, actually, I took it casually."
"Casually?" Qin Shi crossed his arms and said coldly, "I think you stole it, right?"
Qin Shi found it hard to imagine that such a young child would do such a shameless thing.
As the saying goes, a poor man shouldn't be poor in ambition. Stealing and stealing were the actions of a despicable person.
"Big brother, don't be angry. Actually … actually, I had no choice." The little boy couldn't help but be anxious.
Qin Shi snorted, "This is the first time I heard that stealing can be done without a choice. Then tell me, how did you have no choice?"
The child helplessly lowered his head, rubbed his fingers and said, "Actually … actually, I don't want to. Big brother should also be able to see that everyone in this city is controlled by someone and has to do the same thing every day. I was also controlled before. Every day, all I had to do was to steal. I didn't want to be discovered, so I could only do the same thing every day."
Qin Shi was stunned. His black eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he immediately became angry.
"This damn group of people!
Persisting is trampling on human nature! "Qin Shi shouted angrily.
Suddenly, the child took out some high-grade fierce beast meat and handed it to Qin Shi, "Big brother, don't worry and eat. In this city, my food is the safest."
Qin Shi frowned when he heard this. Then, he was shocked to find that the mountain of food here was all perfectly preserved and there was no smell of corrosion.
Moreover, in these days in the Serene Court, he had discovered several times that because of the Serene Court's Holy Water, most of the food in this city was contaminated. Eating the food here for a long time, even if one didn't use the Serene Court's Holy Water, the dream controlling technique would gradually invade one's mind.
However, the food preserved by this little thing did not show any signs of being infected. This suddenly piqued his interest.
