A Bead That Bewitched the Mind

After knocking out several guards, Tang Miao said, "Go check on your brother. I'll stay here and guard this place."

Wangyue Qianxun glanced gratefully at Tang Miao, then pressed herself against the thick door and spoke to the people inside.

Wangyue Qianxun spoke in Japanese, which Tang Miao couldn't understand at all.

After all, he prefers subtitles when watching blockbuster movies. Otherwise, he simply won't watch them; it's just too confusing...

After a while, Wangyue Qianxun turned around and glanced at Tang Miao. From the excited expression in her eyes, it was clear that the person imprisoned inside was indeed her brother, Tsuruta.

Wangyue Qianxun was somewhat emotional, and her eyes were already red.

Tsuruta had been missing for so long that she almost thought her brother had vanished into thin air. Who would have thought that he was being held in prison just across a suspension bridge from her? As a member of the West Guardian Pavilion, how could Wangyue Qianxun not know how terrifying this prison was!

The two chatted for a long time, during which Tang Miao did not interrupt, after all, he came here specifically for the beads.

A moment later, Wangyue Qianxun approached. "Besides the dark array, the East Guardian Pavilion also has a massive curse that gradually extracts the soul power of those imprisoned here. I originally thought this was the effect of the curse array, but I didn't expect that the curse array not only extracts soul power from the prisoners' bodies but also condenses it into a bead... I think what you sensed was that, wasn't it?"

Tang Miao shook her head, looking uncertain. "Maybe, I'm not sure."

Wangyue Qianxun said angrily, "That bastard, Commander Takagi, would do such a thing just to get his Contract Summon Beast to advance to the Monarch Level... As the military leader of the West Guardian Pavilion, to harm others for profit is utterly despicable!"

Greedy people are common, but their greed is even more terrifying when they High Position!

To be frank, he also needed that bead. Otherwise, why would he be out here in the middle of the night, getting involved in all this commotion?

After complaining for a while, Wangyue Qianxun then said, "Let's take the Ninghua Pearl with us, otherwise if General Takagi finds it, he will definitely kill my older brother to silence him."

Immediately, following the clues given by her brother, Wangyue Qianxun led Tang Miao to the location of the bead.

After successfully arriving at the place Tsuruta had mentioned, they entered the room, where a murky, sinister-looking bead was suspended in the very center.

As Wangyue Qianxun was about to take the bead, Tang Miao stopped her, saying, "Don't touch it. This thing can bewitch people. I think your brother has already been bewitched. If you touch it, you'll be bewitched too."

Wangyue Qianxun paused, then turned to look at Tang Miao. She said with some disbelief, "Impossible! My brother wouldn't lie to me!"

"I told you, he's been bewitched."

Wangyue Qianxun asked again, "Do you want this bead?"

Tang Miao paused, looking at this damned woman. She'd just said everyone would be hers from now on, and now she didn't believe him? He immediately said, "Damn it, you idiot. Let's take this bead and ask your elder, Wangyue Mingjian. Then you'll know if I've been lying to you."

The bead seemed to sense something and tried to escape. However, it was stopped in its tracks by a single glance from Tang Miao.

"Space... Space Element magic!?"

Wangyue Qianxun, who was just about to say something, paused slightly when she saw Tang Miao control the bead...

Tang Miao is just an Advanced Mage, how could he know so many spells?

Fire Element, Ice Element, Summoning Element, Shadow Element, Space Element?

However, after the initial shock, Wangyue Qianxun still approached the bead and took it in her hand. Looking at Tang Miao warily, she said, "I have no intention of taking it. All I want is to hand it over to the Osaka Magic Association or the Osaka government. I just want my older brother to no longer suffer the pain of the East Guardian Pavilion."

Looking at her appearance, Tang Miao immediately understood that this Japanese woman had fallen for his tricks!

I was secretly surprised; the allure of this bead was truly terrifying!

Tang Miao thought for a moment, but ultimately didn't stop the little rascal. Some things, she would only understand after experiencing them firsthand... So she said, "In that case, go ahead and do it."

"Thank you for helping me... I will definitely keep my promise after my brother is released."

Leaving the East Guardian Pavilion was not difficult. There weren't many guards in the entire East Guardian Pavilion, and outsiders could never get in. To ensure that it was sealed off and secure enough, even the few guards who had been knocked unconscious would not be discovered until the next shift change. So Tang Miao and his companion returned the way they came.

After descending the mountain, Wangyue Qianxun rushed off towards Osaka. Tang Miao, of course, wouldn't let her leave alone, so he followed after her.

Although the bead was somewhat terrifying, Tang Miao discovered that under the influence of the Kirin Jade, he was not affected by it in the slightest. Clearly, it was terrifying, but under the protection of the Qilin, it posed no threat whatsoever.

This is why he dared to let Wangyue Qianxun experience this relationship...

The bright moonlight had somehow been hidden behind the dark clouds, and the night sky was pitch black, with even the starlight disappearing.

Even late at night, the bustling city of Osaka remains brightly lit and vibrant with flowers. However, the neon lights that scatter across the sky do not, as usual, illuminate the night sky with a warm orange hue; instead, they are absorbed by the deep darkness.

When Tang Miao saw that she was no longer her original appearance, but a terrifying Black Shadow with scarlet eyes and covered with ghostly whiskers, he quickly walked over.

The Black Shadow had only a torso, no head, and centipede-like arms that were arranged in rows on both sides of its body, moving vigorously. They were thick and sturdy.

What was most terrifying was that the monster's chest was covered with blood-red eyes, without any eye sockets, just eyeballs, each one wriggling and staring at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, filled with resentment and cold cruelty!

Wangyue Qianxun turned around, her reflection revealed a monstrous appearance, instantly terrifying everyone into scrambling away...

After Tang Miao came up behind her, he shouted, "Stop!"

"It's you?" Wangyue Qianxun asked, looking at him with a constantly shifting expression in her eyes.

After Tang Miao saw that she had calmed down a bit, she said again, "Take a good look at what you're doing right now?"

"I..." Wangyue Qianxun Chika still retained some rationality. She looked around blankly and saw that the crowd was running away, that the girls were screaming, and that several children were crying loudly because they were frightened by her.

Everyone stared at her as if she were a monster, but when she realized that the dozens of people had been turned into monsters covered in vegetation by her plants, Wangyue Qianxun snapped back to reality and stumbled back a few steps, losing her balance.

The Condensation Evil Bead in her hand suddenly fell to the ground. As if she had seen a demon, Wangyue Qianxun kept her distance from it and dared not touch it again!

Tang Miao walked over and put the bead in her hand. Wangyue Qianxun said fearfully, "No... don't touch it, it will bewitch the mind..."
