Beware Heavenless Heretic

Compared to the Entertainment Area, the Supermarket is significantly more spacious, with a dazzling array of goods that are hard to look away from.

"You mean these Doll Model come to life at night, right?"

Walking to the nearest clothing store, next to the Doll Model displayed outside, PrayerUnderDreams turned around and asked Bai Zhi a question.

Most of the shops here sell clothes, shoes, Inventory, hats, and the like. In large shopping malls like this, there's no shortage of Doll Model.

"The Doll Model here are incredibly detailed. Will they actually move?"

"Detailed? Of course it's detailed, because... I think I killed some of the Doll Model before, but all the remains are gone."

Pointing to the empty spaces in the shops, Bai Zhi uttered the most shocking words in the most calm tone.

"The primary material used for these Doll Model is human."

"!!!"

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Zither-Drum Harmony and Night Owl, who had been about to touch the clothes worn by the mannequins, were immediately startled and withdrew their hands.

"... Humans?"

PrayerUnderDreams turned around and glanced at Bai Zhi.

"See for yourself."

Without saying much, Bai Zhi punched one of the Doll Model next to him, knocking it to the ground. The outer material shattered, and a skull rolled out from among the materials, its dark eye sockets pointing straight at PrayerUnderDreams.

"These built-in Skeleton are made of human bones and have undergone quite good preservation treatment. I counted them before, and all 206 bones are intact."

"This entire Store... is that it?"

With a slightly pale face, she raised her head and looked at the shopping mall in front of her, Zither-Drum Harmony's face full of disbelief.

This Store displays hundreds of Doll Model. If the inner Skeleton of each Doll Model is made of human bones... then just how many people died here?

"They must have been former Resident of this Apartment Building. After all, based on my previous deductions, we just moved to this floor ourselves... It's just bones, there's no need to be so scared, right?"

Turning back, Bai Zhi glanced helplessly at the Night Owl holding the potted street lamp flower in one arm and clutching the hem of his clothes tightly with the other, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

When we first started with the Novice Quest, the other character was the same way, and now so much time has passed, but they haven't changed at all, haven't grown in the slightest... How did someone so timid even manage to Level up to level six?

"None of your business! Who's afraid of you? You're the one who owes money and won't pay it back!!"

Slightly annoyed, Night Owl glared back and, as if venting her frustration, punched his hand before turning and storming off towards the Zither-Drum Harmony.

"Who owes you money... See? Women and Villain Woman are the hardest to deal with. The ancients were right."

Faced with the sympathetic gazes cast upon him by PrayerUnderDreams and Heavenless Heretic, Bai Zhi shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, let's explore the mall freely as usual. Among all the things sold here, there are bound to be places where we can use our points. With five people, we should be able to find dozens of shops quickly."

"Wait a minute, I have a question. If all those Doll Model here are made from human materials, then wouldn't those life-size Figurine also be...?"

Heavenless Heretic raised his hand, his face slightly pale.

"You can smash your wife to pieces yourself and see for yourself."

Not without a hint of revenge, she reached out and patted Heavenless Heretic on the shoulder, leaving Heavenless Heretic. PrayerUnderDreams hummed a song and turned to walk away in a certain direction.

--He remembered the limited edition Knight Belt there, which he had always wanted to buy.

As for the Night Owl, this time they chose to travel in harmony with the Zither-Drum Harmony.

After everyone dispersed, Bai Zhi shrugged and turned to walk into a nearby clothing store. After making sure no one was around, he reached out and opened the note that Night Owl had secretly slipped into his hand earlier.

Heavenless Heretic!!

The note contained only one sentence, written in messy handwriting, suggesting it was written in haste.

"Heavenless Heretic... did she discover something just now?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly and turned to look outside the shop.

If the other party had truly discovered something, there was no reason he wouldn't have. As for a joking, retaliatory prank, he felt that was unlikely, since he hadn't offended her...

Just as Bai Zhi frowned in thought, a series of exclamations and screams came from outside the shop. Less than a minute had passed since he announced the disbandment.

"!!!"

A chill ran down Bai Zhi's spine. He quickly turned and rushed out of the shop toward the source of the sound. In the process, he ran right into Heavenless Heretic was also heading in that direction.

The two quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.

In front of a high-end handbag shop, the Night Owl, pale-faced, clutched her left arm and sat down against the wall. Large drops of sweat streamed down her forehead, and the potted street lamp plant she had been holding onto fell to the ground and shattered.

A sharp dagger pierced through her entire shoulder, the hilt sinking deep into her flesh, and the dripping blood had stained half of her arm red.

Beside Night Owl, Zither-Drum Harmony was frantically pulling out various first-aid kits from her Inventory to treat the wound, but the dagger was too deep into the bone. It seemed that it had not only pierced the flesh but also pierced through the shoulder and cheekbone, so she dared not move too much.

"What exactly happened...? Who attacked you!?"

At this moment, PrayerUnderDreams also hurriedly arrived with the books. Upon seeing the scene before him, he was immediately shocked.

He couldn't help but be shocked, since everyone had gradually gotten used to not encountering danger during the day, and now this had suddenly happened.

In less than a minute, before he had even found the shop, the Night Owl was attacked... The key question is, where did this attack come from?

"The attack came from the mirror behind me, aimed at my heart. If Night Owl hadn't saved me in time, I might have died from that sudden blow..."

Zither-Drum Harmony looked remorseful, and his words carried a hint of lingering fear.

She genuinely hadn't expected an attack to suddenly erupt from the mirror behind her; if Night Owl hadn't pushed her away in time, she might have already died there.

That was truly a Perfect ambush.
