Before we knew it, it was already late at night.

The woman sat at the head of the bed and her mood gradually stabilized. At this time, the door was pushed open with a "creak".

Xiao Ming held a bowl of porridge and said, "Are you better? Have some porridge."

The woman wanted to reach out to pick her up, but when facing the stranger, she chose to be reserved: "No, I'm not hungry."

Xiao Ming put the porridge on the head of the bed and said, "If I have malicious intentions, I will not save you."

The woman was a little helpless, and she just looked at Xiao Ming.

Bai Xian'er and Youmo also walked in. Bai Xian'er said in an extremely caring tone: "Drink some, my junior brother has no other advantages except being kind-hearted."

"If you have any difficulties, you might as well talk about it. If you can help, we will definitely help you." Youmo also signaled with a smile.

Looking at these people, the woman's estrangement finally melted away, and she said, "Thank you."

Then, I picked up the porridge and started drinking it, and it seemed that I was very hungry.

After drinking the porridge, before Xiao Ming could ask, she introduced herself: "My name is Zi Yan, thank you for saving me."

"My name is Xiao Ming." After Xiao Ming said that, he pointed behind him and said, "This is my senior sister Bai Xian'er. This is Youmo. Okay, everyone has known each other. Can you tell me what you encountered before?"

Although Zi Yan's mood had stabilized a lot, she still felt a little unacceptable when she thought of that incident. She smiled and said, "I'll stop talking about it. It's not good to say something terrible to my benefactor."

"There is no need to be so kind, just say it, I really want to know." Xiao Ming persuaded.

Zi Yan smiled awkwardly. She was from the bottom of her heart. Why is this person a little ignorant?

Helplessly, she could only say: "When you see scarlet pupils, you will lose everything, and it will take you step by step toward the abyss."

"What does it mean?"

Bai Xian'er and Youmo said in a daze at the same time.

And Xiao Ming was shocked: "Shangri...scarlet pupils?"

"Yes, yes." Zi Yan nodded. She didn't know that Xiao Ming's reaction would be so violent.

Xiao Ming immediately grabbed Zi Yan's arm and said, "Hurry up, tell me everything!"

This action scared Zi Yan and panicked.

Bai Xian'er pushed Xiao Ming away and said, "Xiao Ming, what are you doing? Be careful!"

Only then did Xiao Ming realize that he had lost his composure, so he let go of Zi Yan and said, "I'm sorry, I want to know everything, please!"

Because he knew that his scarlet pupils were the symbol of the demon clan!

Xiao Ming's abnormality made Bai Xian'er and Youmo feel strange. At this moment, they felt that there must be something ulterior motive hidden in Xiao Ming's heart!

Zi Yan said calmly: "Yes, I can tell you everything, just treat it as repaying your life-saving grace!"

"If it will touch your pain, I want to know too, please!" Xiao Ming begged again.

Zi Yan could only look at the night outside the window and said, "Last night, I came to Emperor Spirit City alone. Just as I was about to find a place to live, I saw a man wearing a mask and acting very strangely."

"Mask man?"

Xiao Ming tried his best to keep calm, wondering if it was organized by the mask!

Zi Yan continued: "I wanted to pretend that I didn't see it, but I was targeted by the man in mask. He kept following me for a long time, for a long time, I deliberately spared three streets, and he was still following me!"

"Just when I couldn't bear it anymore and was about to question him, at that moment, I saw a pair of scarlet pupils under the mask. When I was attracted by my pupils, it seemed as if everything was leaving me. I lost my mind and my ability to move. My only thought was to walk towards him step by step."

Hearing this, Youmo said suspiciously: "Why? Is it some kind of illusion? It is activated by eyes?"

"No, it should be that something has controlled my mind!" Xiao Ming said with certainty.

Zi Yan shook her head: "I don't know. I just felt that the man in front of me was a god, a being beyond everything. Just as I approached him, he stuffed a black pill into my mouth and told me that the third research subject would be successful. I can't forget his laughter, it's so harsh."

"The next second, I felt something flowing in my body, as if to occupy my body. I resisted vigorously, struggling on the edge of pain, and my consciousness was slowly being eaten up. Until this afternoon, I felt that I was finished because my consciousness was about to disappear. After that, I fainted. This is what happened after I came to Emperor Spirit City."

After hearing this, Xiao Ming felt even deeper.

If the masked man is a demon, what is his purpose? What is the black pill for Zi Yan?

Bai Xian'er felt distressed and covered Zi Yan's quilt and sighed: "Hey, I encountered such a thing when I first came to Emperor Ling City. It's such a painful memory."

Zi Yan hugged her tightly and whispered: "I came here on the order of my master, for the treasure appreciation meeting in a few days. Fortunately, you saved me, otherwise... Otherwise, I will never see my master again!"

Youmo comforted her and said, "I never thought that there are such a capable man and stranger in Diling City. Can you control people's minds with your eyes alone?"

Xiao Ming did not explain, but asked Xiang Ziyan: "Where was the first time you met the man with mask?"

"There is a fountain next to the statue at the south gate. I was admiring the fountain at that time, and the man appeared in my sight. I would not remember it wrong!" Zi Yan said affirmatively.

Xiao Ming had a clear mind. No matter what, he had to try his luck. If he really met him, he would definitely reveal the true face of the man in mask!

"Miss Zi Yan, if you want, wait for the master to arrive here, and we will protect you." Bai Xian'er said gently.

Zi Yan was so moved that she said in tears: "Thank you..."

Xiao Ming walked out of the house silently, touching the magic lamp in his hand, feeling that the truth was getting closer and closer.

Bai Xian'er then walked out and said, "Do you care about that masked man?"

Xiao Ming didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Do you suspect that he has something to do with the masked man who captured Jiangshan?" Bai Xian'er asked again.

Xiao Ming turned his head and said, "I don't know, but I must go and have a look. Senior sister, you are here to protect everyone."

Bai Xian'er smiled and said, "You haven't changed at all. If you want to go, go. I also believe that you can come back safely, go."

"Senior sister..."

Xiao Ming was so moved that he left here.

Perhaps, this is the tacit understanding in their hearts.

At any time, believe in each other and accommodate each other.

Even if the road ahead is dangerous, life and death are uncertain.
