The Source of the Yindu Heart

After leaving Amber's house, the two headed straight for Jiang Jieleng.

Jiang Jieleng had already chosen Yu Xing's accommodation when making the arrangements, selecting a room for the child that was truly secluded and not adjacent to any other place.

The room is located on the very edge of the residential area, more than ten meters away from the nearest building. At night, once the door is closed, even if you talk loudly and without restraint inside, the neighbors won't hear you.

After stealing the Yindu Heart from the Saintess's body, Yu Xing realized that Yu Fengchen had something to ask, but it wasn't a good time to chat in the residential area, since some believers might still be awake. So they simply took the Yindu Heart to find Jiang Jieleng.

Xiao Jiang didn't sleep at all.

Perhaps knowing that Yu Fengchen would come looking for him tonight, he sat on the bed, silently hugging a huge lop-eared rabbit plushie, quietly looking towards the door.

Yu Fengchen also had the ability to open doors. He opened Jiang Jieleng's door and was suddenly met with a pair of emotionless eyes. Even the light from the lantern couldn't penetrate the darkness in those eyes.

The Underground City environment is quite frightening at first glance.

Yu Xing walked behind Yu Fengchen, quietly closed the door, and after discovering that Jiang Jieleng was still awake, she let out a loud "Wow!" without any restraint.

"Wow!"

Not only did he exclaim "Wow!", but he also ran wildly to Jiang Jieleng under the look of Yu Fengchen and Jiang Jieleng Zileng as if he were mentally challenged, his face almost touching the lop-eared rabbit doll.

Jiang Jieleng: "..."

The boy looked up and coldly asked Yu Fengchen, "What happened when you went out? How did he end up like this?"

"... He's probably interested in your doll, making your rabbit bite him." Yu Fengchen added fuel to the fire with a serious expression.

Jiang Jieleng glanced down at the rabbit that was slightly raising its head. The lop-eared rabbit looked very cute, but it always had a sinister and terrifying feeling about it, especially in the dark.

Those ruby-like eyes, tinged with the crimson of blood, should have been devoid of emotion, yet now stared at Yu Xing as if they were in focus, and the furry arms hanging at either side of her velvet body twitched.

For a fleeting moment, the boy thought he might as well not comfort the rabbit doll at all, and just let the rabbit slap Yu Xing to death.

But for the sake of the bigger picture, he suppressed this wicked thought and gently placed his hand on the top of the plush rabbit's head.

The light in the restless rabbit's eyes immediately went out, its head drooped again, and it temporarily lost the strength to move.

Yu Xing seemed completely unaware that she had just been targeted, stroking the rabbit's belly with her hand. It felt no different from a real doll.

He sensed the power of the demon sealed within the rabbit, then felt the presence of Jiang Jieleng, who was now completely human, and exclaimed in disbelief, "It really did separate! What kind of technology is this?"

Jiang Jieleng: "..."

Jiang Jieleng didn't want to pay any attention to him. In fact, he had long been puzzled as to why his collaborator in the other system was behaving this way.

Is it possible that the more idiotic someone looks these days, the more capable they are?

"Yu Xing, stop playing around." Yu Fengchen walked over and sat on Jiang Jieleng's bed. "You've got what you wanted. Now it's time to tell us about the intelligence here."

Yu Xing: "Oh."

The Yindu Heart in his hand was still "vibrant." After close contact, he realized that this thing would not wither away after leaving the mother body. This shows that when Ruben Reed was so eager to make him the carrier of the Yindu Heart, he actually had the intention of killing him.

He placed Yindu Heart on the desk in Jiang Jieleng's room. The desks in each room were all similar in appearance and could also be used as workbenches. They had shallow grooves on them, which were perfect for holding smaller items.

After putting it away, Yu Xing smiled and said, "The night is long, let's talk slowly."

He chose to come to Jiang Jieleng's side with the intention of only explaining things once. Otherwise, he would have had to explain the general situation of the Underground City to Yu Fengchen after all that effort, and then he would have to explain it all to Jiang Jieleng, which would be too troublesome.

Over the next half hour, Yu Xing shared in detail with the two men all the information he had gathered over the past day, including some speculations about the Tree Witch and Ruben Reed.

Naturally, he also revealed that there was no specific purpose in going out to steal and replace Yindu Heart; it was simply to make it easier to disrupt the situation and to keep the unknown under his control.

"Actually, I was just about to say that this heart seems to be an item from a Yugi I played before." Yu Fengchen glanced at the heart quietly wriggling in the groove. "This Ruben Reed is very likely a wizard I know. It's a pity I haven't seen him since I arrived."

"Didn't you only have me replace you to avoid him?" Jiang Jieleng.

Yu Fengchen laughed, "Yes, we originally came down here to cause trouble, but it wouldn't be good if someone we know anticipated it."

"Oh? What exactly happened? Tell me more?" Yu Xing was quite curious about the heart. He wanted to know what kind of item Ghost Tree would send these believers to retrieve. Once he understood the nature of one of the items, he could follow the clues to guess what the other believers brought back were for.

"It was a single-player role-playing Yugi. I played a Daoist priest, traveling through the Underworld with my NPC senior brother."

For Yu Fengchen, this was an experience from a long time ago. He thought for a moment before continuing, "Yindu is very strange. It looks no different from a town in an ancient setting, but the residents there will turn into zombies or other monsters from time to time, and the closer it gets to the festival, the more frequent these anomalies become."

"And then?" Yu Xing asked with interest.

This was the first time Jiang Jieleng had heard Yu Fengchen talk about the details of this single-player Yugi. He listened very attentively, his dark pupils calm and unwavering, his thoughts unreadable.

"My NPC senior brother and I were resting in the largest mansion in that town. The family's surname was Wang, and their whole household was very strange. Even the maids weren't human; they just disguised themselves."

"Something is guarded in the Wang family's backyard, and Madam Wang watches it very closely. It took me quite a bit of effort to discover that the Wang family's backyard is actually the core of a huge blood array, and that blood town is related to the festival."

"Overall, the focus of that Yugi was the festival, where a very powerful Hou appeared. My ultimate mission was to prevent the opening of Blood Town, or simply eliminate the Hou."

"I originally wanted to do the first mission, but someone interfered. Now that I think about it, it must have been Ruben Reed."
