Mr. Klaus, Listen to Me Cry!

Finally, the heart was entrusted to Yu Fengchen for safekeeping.

On the question of whether or not to absorb energy from the heart, Jiang Jieleng and Yu Fengchen followed Yu Xing's opinion almost without any resistance.

Although Yu Xing is clearly a product of acquired transformation, and his manifestations are quite different from Yu Fengchen's, it seems that Yu Xing has had more contact with Ghost Tree and has a more comprehensive understanding of him. His advice is unlikely to harm anyone, so it's best to listen to him in this situation.

When Yu Xing received the final result, she saw a faint smile suddenly appear on Jiang Jieleng face. She couldn't help but wonder if the other party had deliberately suggested that Yu Fengchen absorb the heart in order to test him.

This kid is not to be underestimated. Don't be fooled by his expressionless face; he's actually quite cunning.

That night, Yu Xing went back to his room to catch up on sleep. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, and he had finished what he needed to do that night. He was looking forward to seeing what kind of commotion would take place in the Underground City the next day.

Jiang Jieleng replaced Yu Fengchen, so Yu Fengchen could not show himself in front of the believers. When a new believer arrived, all the believers would go to the altar to witness this scene, so it was not easy to pretend to be one of the believers.

The Underground City is essentially a small village with only a little over two hundred people. To be honest, the smaller the village, the more exclusive it is. Within a certain area, everyone has very little privacy, so they know each other best.

If an extra person were to suddenly appear, they would probably be identified within half a day.

Fortunately, Yu Fengchen's relationship with Ghost Tree was even closer. During the day, he could hide among the huge branches around the Underground City, like a wandering ghost, and then come back at night.

Yindu Heart was entrusted to him, Yu Fengchen extra careful about its safety, making sure it wasn't discovered by other ghosts among the branches of the Ghost Tree. However, at least once the fact that Amber Bradley's heart had been switched was discovered, and a search of each house was required, Yu Xing and Jiang Jieleng would be absolutely safe.

With the information exchange completed, Yu Xing felt much less stressed. Since Jiang Jieleng was a smart kid and Yu Fengchen was not stupid either, he believed that their arrival would make the subsequent plans go more smoothly.

It was the third day since Yu Xing entered the Underground City.

Having gotten plenty of sleep the night before, Yu Xing woke up very early in the morning, just as the Sunken Sun was beginning to rise.

He listened intently, but there was no sound coming from Amber Bradley's house. The man with the leaky throat, who was probably already dead, had not been discovered immediately either. For a moment, he felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

It's like the feeling of "It's dawn, last night was Christmas Eve."

He rolled out of bed, intending to go to a place with water to wash up. The wooden tubs in the reception area were available for everyone to use at any time. Usually, when these believers needed to change their clothes, they could simply go to the reception area to get new ones.

Just as I stepped out the door, the door to the room next door coincidentally opened as well.

Amber?

Yu Xing glanced at the door out of the corner of her eye, wondering if the Saintess, who seemed to be living a very happy life underground, would have changed after almost being "murdered" last night.

"Mr. Roy!"

Amber Bradley had obviously seen him too, called out a greeting, and quickly ran towards him.

"What's wrong, Amber?" Yu Xing's performance was just right; both her expression and tone conveyed surprise at Amber's unusual attitude today.

"Thank God you're alright, I almost thought..." Amber Bradley hesitated for a moment, not continuing, but instead changing the subject tentatively, "Was anyone in your room last night?"

"Let someone in?" Yu Xing asked, puzzled. "Weren't the doors completely sealed at night? How could someone get in?"

"That was aimed at me..." Amber's beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, which caused the skin on her forehead to suddenly appear extremely ferocious with the tear-like scar.

Yu Xing immediately asked with concern, "What happened? What do you mean by targeting you? Your question... could it be that someone entered your room last night?"

"Yes, that's right, oh my Wood God, it is thanks to the Wood God's protection that I am alive and able to stand here and speak to you." Amber shook his head. Some other believers nearby also got up one after another and came out to see this scene, casting curious glances at them.

"Never mind, this isn't a good place to talk, Mr. Roy. Can you come with me to find Klaus?" Amber seemed unwilling to let too many people know what had happened last night, so she tightly gripped Yu Xing's sleeve.

"Of course, no problem, don't worry," Yu Xing reassured her gently, displaying extreme patience.

With that gentle, reassuring smile, he accompanied Amber Bradley to the room of the bearded Klaus. As the head of the entire Underground City, the bearded Klaus had gotten up even earlier than them and was already busy at his workbench, doing something unknown.

"Mr. Klaus!"

As soon as he entered, Amber rushed over and hugged Klaus tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Oh God! Mr. Klaus, please, you must find out the truth!"

Klaus was a little confused by the hug. Believers rarely cry; their tear ducts are not well-developed. Amber's crying at this moment did not seem like fear or sadness, but rather a declaration of his stance.

Look, I'm crying. This must be very serious. You need to stop what you're doing right now and listen to me.

Klaus noticed this attitude and finally managed to pull Amber away. He then glanced at Yu Xing, who had followed him in, and gave Yu Xing a questioning look.

Yu Xing could only shrug, as if he knew nothing and had just been taken along along the way.

"Mr. Klaus, I was attacked last night!"

Amber cried to Klaus, "Just last night, while I was sleeping, someone broke into my room and slit my throat!"

Klaus was horrified.

Putting everything else aside, this is the Saintess of the Underground City, second only to the Tree Witch in status. If something were to happen to her, it would be disastrous. It wouldn't just be a lapse in security, but also a provocation against the Wood God's dignity.

"Don't worry, tell me what happened."

"I don't know anything more!" Amber was still a little angry when she thought about it. "The person who did it covered my eyes and didn't say anything. I didn't see or hear anything. After my throat was slit, I thought I was going to die and lost consciousness for a while. I didn't expect to wake up normally this morning."

"I brought Mr. Roy here. I think, no matter what, Mr. Roy should be able to hear something!"
