In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, the impact of the wind and snow disaster has been minimized, the security of Nancheng District, in the strict observance of the Honghu family, has been controlled to the greatest extent, although there are occasional small man-made disasters, but it has not affected the overall layout.

The gloom was gradually swept away by the cold wind, and the smiles on people's faces slowly returned. No matter how the year goes, it deserves to be celebrated.

Look at the street, the white snow, the red lights, the people who come and go are all with bright hair, bright clothes, smiling and laughing, running, frolicking, noisy, crackling, chirping, and bustling. It seems to have forgotten that some time ago, the smell of slaughter in the air.

Hongfu is also a lively scene, red lanterns are hung high, the family members are busy back and forth, and the work of hands and feet has never stopped.

In the hall, the father and son were talking, and Hong Hu knew that the situation could not be relaxed now, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner would definitely not be eaten together, so he advanced this meal.

"Father, the last time I came back from the City Lord's Mansion, I saw that your face was not very good, is it about the problem in the black prison?" Hong Ming thought of the appearance of his father last time, and asked with concern.

"Well, there are not a lot of problems in the black prison, and in the black prison of the other three families, more than one thousand and three adventurers have been sent, which is two hundred more than our Nancheng!"

"So the city wants you to give an explanation, right?" asked Hong Ming.

"What to explain, anyway, my focus now is the safety of the people in Nancheng, and I will go back to the city lord for the things in this black prison!"

"Originally, this black prison belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, why is it now counted on our heads again? The number of people of 1,005 was sent over, is there anything to be responsible for in the future?" Hong Liang was a little excited.

"I don't know if there is a problem with the 'Soul Extractor', this month, less than ten people have been sent out, this is the reason why the City Lord's Mansion is looking for me?"

"Less than ten people, Dad, I haven't asked, where are these adventurers who have drained their 'soul power' going to be sent?"

"Don't inquire about what you don't need to know, you just do your own thing, in two days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, let's not talk about official affairs today, talk about your small private affairs after you become a family!"

"Dad, why are you still diverting the topic? Seriously, sometimes we don't understand, why do we need to use a 'Soul Extractor' when this can be done with Soul Destroying Rain and Soul Scattering?" Hong Ming asked.

"If you don't ask, don't ask!" Hong Hu glared at Hong Ming.

"Another thing, in the past two months, the number of missing people seems to have increased, and although efforts have been intensified, there is still no clue!" Hong Ming shook his head and said.

"Don't worry about this for now, let's eat well today!" Hong Hu said in a deep voice.

The three of them gave up stupidly, each beckoned his wife, and was busy preparing for the family banquet.

In the black prison, Yan Sheng looked at this small and dim room, and thought: "I have been locked up in this black prison for more than two months, and my strength has obviously become stronger, but it is all empty, and there is no use, no, it also has a little effect, it is to help others resist the power of thunder and lightning, but why is this mood cloudy?"

Yansheng was bored, and since the thought of escaping from here a few days ago, the whole person had become anxious and excited.

"Then the damn old man won't tell you what this third mission is?" Yansheng grumbled. Then I thought, "Anyway, now that the power in the electric sphere has become weak, and others can resist it themselves, can I find something to do? For example, what is behind the tunnel? Where did those people go?"

"Hey, let's pass the time, anyway, this 'god' won't stay in the body for long now, since it is going to dissipate, let's go again! Anyway, if you lose your 'god' now, you won't be hurt!" Thinking of this, he released the 'god', walked through the corridor, passed through the iron gate, went down the stairs, and appeared in the dark tunnel.

The second time I came here, the gloomy feeling around me became lighter, and when I walked inside, small holes appeared on the wall on the side of the tunnel!

Increase your strength, increase your speed, and still find nothing.

In order to confirm the speculation in his heart, Hals released the virtual body and appeared at the mouth of the tunnel, the gloom inside was mysterious, and with his strength, he would still feel frightened.

"I wish it wasn't what I thought it was!" he muttered, gritting his teeth, and the void rushed into the tunnel.

Inside the gloomy tunnel, the space distorted, and Yan Sheng was shocked, he didn't know what was going on?

In the line of sight, the black holes in front of them began to rotate, and the power revealed distorted the space, and the sound of 'gurgling' came from all sides, echoing in the tunnel, at first I thought it was laughter, but when I heard it clearly, it looked like something was chewing something!

Then the sound became louder, and Yansheng unconsciously felt a certain coolness, which was mixed with a strong smell of blood, and the smell of blood wafted and disgusting, and even his scalp was numb!

The black smoke was gathering in one direction as if it were spiritual, and it was the deeper part of the tunnel!

Yansheng followed the black smoke away.

After Hals rushed into the passage, his strength was inexplicably suppressed, but fortunately, this suppression did not affect him much.

Yansheng chased those black smokes, appearing in an open place, like an independent place, and looking around, it was completely surrounded by black smoke and thick fog. This feeling is all too familiar to him!

"It's... Is this hopeless?" Yansheng was shocked, but the next moment, he vetoed it again, because there was a sense of murder in these black smokes.

The hopeless world, although dark, is not gloomy, nor does it have this feeling of murderous intent! The hopeless world is absolutely quiet, but this 'hopelessness' is not!

The black smoke suddenly gathered in one place, forming a huge skull, and among the skulls, there were thousands of small skulls! At this time, the skull was staring at Yansheng angrily, yes, angry.

"Roar!" the deafening roar echoed, and the 'god' of Yansheng stared at the skeleton in front of him.

"What does this mean? Could it be that this skeleton has discovered its own 'god'?" Yan Shenghu asked himself.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Among the skulls, those little skeletons were hideous, opening their mouths and shouting, the killing intent was revealed, and the 'god' of Yansheng was inexplicably frightened, and a coolness rose from his heart.

"Why is this skeleton's killing intent so heavy?" Yansheng was frightened and unconsciously flinched.

These skeletons seemed to be full of hatred, and there seemed to be a pair of red eyes hidden in their empty eyes, and in those eyes, there was only endless killing energy.

It was too sudden, for Yan Sheng, this feeling came too suddenly, he was really scared! The whole person was stupid, and the red eyes in the huge skeleton became bloody!

"Yansheng, run!" Hals's phantage suddenly appeared behind Yansheng's 'god' and shouted with his mouth open.

The phantom dragged the 'god' of Yansheng backwards!

"Kill" the huge skeleton shouted and turned into countless small skeletons, chasing after the phantom of Hals and the 'god' of Yansheng.

A black light streaked through, and the 'god' of Yansheng was completely dispersed, and Hals retreated while fending off the attacks of these black smoke skeletons.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Yansheng couldn't understand for a long time, the first time he saw this kind of thing, evil and terrifying!

Hals retreated to safety, and he confirmed his belief that he was bound to destroy the Horcrux Extractor.

When he returned to the room, he saw Yansheng with a sluggish face, and gave two slaps to him, Yansheng came back to his senses, and his body trembled.

"Do you see anything that makes you scared?" asked Hals.

"Wow" Yeonsheng cried and shouted, "They eat people, they eat people!"

"What are you talking about? Who is eating people!" Hals saw Yansheng's appearance, remembered the description in his information, and said secretly: "This child's eyes can see human soul attributes, could it be that he saw something else just now?"

"I saw it, I saw them eat people alive, I saw their souls become cloudy, I saw the bloody world, it was so scary, so scary!" Yan Sheng shouted, unconsciously hugging his body.

Hals felt Yansheng's fear and knew that what he said was true, but he didn't say a word or two in front of him, and thought, "Is there really someone eating people?"

That scene, even if you think about it, is indeed terrifying. After slapping Yansheng unconscious with a palm, Hals pondered.

Now he's sure, he's very sure! It's just that there are still some things that he hasn't figured out, and if the natal soul and soul power are withdrawn together, there will inevitably be no power, so what else do they want these people to do? According to their own thoughts, these people must be prepared to do that kind of thing, and the natal soul and soul attribute objects must return to the body!

"But now, it's withdrawn, why is that?" thought Hals.

Recalling the scene in the dark tunnel in his mind, combined with the blueprints of the Soul Extractor, he suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "It's for refining!":

"Refining the soul attribute and the natal soul together, and then returning it to the body, so as to ensure that there is power that is not controlled by the 'soul sacrifice', then, their purpose is to answer!" Hals thought about it, and felt that this practice was too inhumane.

"But how did they refine it? Withdrawing their bodies and refining them alone? It's a bit far-fetched?" Hals was still not sure.

Thinking of Yansheng's performance just now, he said suspiciously: "Could it be that these people are really someone else's physical body to refine the natal soul and soul attribute objects?"

Yes, it must be like this, only in this way can we ensure that the extracted natal soul and soul attribute objects are not dissipated, and finally, by eating these people, the power returns to the body, and the natal soul becomes completely turbid, so that it can be controlled.

"Damn, these damn bastards, how could you do such a thing to make something like that?" Hals was furious, thinking of the world he was about to face, and looked at Yansheng with a calm face and fainted on the stone bed, and muttered, "What choice will you make?"

In the dark passage, there was a gloomy atmosphere, and there was a continuous 'gurgling' sound in those small holes, as if they were chewing something, and after a while, these sounds slowly became louder......
