Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 569 - 534: Return to the Homeland (2)

Indeed, the Infinite Box and Puppet Doll are with her because the Infinite Box is a system tool that can be recycled by the system.

She could never leave such an important thing in Liu Ye’s hands.

But no matter what, she couldn’t figure out how that guy Liu Ye got out?

According to the system, the Infinite Box should be able to seal the Curse Power within Jia Lan, and even if the personality couldn’t be destroyed, it would be forcibly put to sleep. So even if she noticed a slight anomaly, she didn’t think deeply about it.

She also had the system check it; the Infinite Box was not malfunctioning and couldn’t possibly be opened from the inside.

"This thing truly cannot be opened from the inside, so it could only have been opened from the outside." Lunus, indeed worthy of being the Sea God High Priest, knew the purpose of the Infinite Box at a glance and secretly marveled that this little girl could produce such a treasure.

This box is indeed a good thing to suppress the pollution power within Jia Lan, and if never opened, it could indeed ensure his lifetime peace.

"Jia Lan was not comfortable leaving such a dangerous thing by my side, so he always kept it himself. He couldn’t possibly give it to someone else... are you saying he opened it himself?" Shen Tang’s heart went cold.

"At present, it indeed seems so."

Shen Tang didn’t understand. Obviously, Jia Lan hated that Curse Power, so why open it with his own hands?

Lunus took out the Puppet Doll from the box, his eyes and eyebrows instantly icy cold, his voice sinking to the extreme, "Where did you get this?"

Shen Tang then told Lunus about Sivall framing Jia Lan, mentioning a mysterious person — it was this person who gave the Witchcraft Doll to Sivall.

Unfortunately, they had been investigating for a long time but still couldn’t uncover the person’s true identity.

Lunus gently stroked the puppet in his palm with his fingertip and sighed softly, "I see."

"Does the Priest know who the mastermind behind harming Jia Lan is?"

"It is I."

"What?"

"There is still a trace of my spiritual power left on this Witchcraft Doll."

Shen Tang immediately realized, "The person in black who gave the Witchcraft Doll to Sivall was another ’you’."

Lunus nodded, "’He’ indeed hasn’t disappeared yet."

"All these years, I had locked myself in the Divine Hall, afraid of mishaps, often staying in seclusion to meditate and calm my soul. Unexpectedly, that person still found a loophole." Lunus frowned, his voice low, "Perhaps during my occasional seclusions and sleep, he briefly took control of the body, and then, through other methods, made the body forget this segment of memory."

"But... Jia Lan is also his flesh and blood, why would he want to harm his own son?"

Lunus shook his head, "He deceived Sivall. The witchcraft evil technique of this doll wouldn’t cause Jia Lan’s death but rather trigger the Curse Power within him, assisting the other personality in completely controlling the body." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Every generation of High Priests had a mission they must abide by, unable to lead a peaceful and happy life like ordinary people, no longer possessing regular human emotions.

To maintain the sacred and bright image, they abandoned many — greed, anger, arrogance, selfishness, deceit... even the emotional desires ordinary people should have.

And these filthy and evil emotions that were despised and discarded by generations of High Priests precisely became the soil nurturing another personality’s growth.

The two personalities were opposites from birth, fighting each other, attempting to devour the other.

The other Lunus perhaps knew he could not escape the destiny of being suppressed and hoped to cultivate new Cursed Mermaids through offspring.

"He" naturally spared no effort to turn "Jia Lan" into "Liu Ye."

"However, ’he’ should have completely disappeared by now." Lunus looked at the box in Shen Tang’s hand, "The current Liu Ye is incredibly powerful, maybe even I can’t suppress him. He found the opportunity to return and possesses such formidable power because he completely inherited the power of the last generation’s Cursed Mermaid."

Upon understanding the reason, Shen Tang also received the task reward for rescuing the Sea Emperor, and it was time to leave.

The situation in the Sea Clan was too severe and complex, after all, it wasn’t something an outsider like her could intervene in. As for Jia Lan... she now didn’t know what to do.

She also knew Liu Ye’s secret, and he would definitely not let her go easily, likely sending someone to hunt her down.

She could only return to the Empire first to discuss countermeasures with the Beast Husband.

Moreover, Shen Tang had been asleep for many days, and the Beast Husband must be terribly worried. She had to return quickly.

Before leaving, Shen Tang received a few precious Water-Repelling Pearls from Jialouluo, allowing Land Beastmen to enter the sea area.

Lunus would take good care of Jialouluo. Currently, the Divine Hall is the safest place in the sea area, even if Liu Ye wanted to assassinate again, it wouldn’t be easy.

Meanwhile, back at the Imperial Palace of the Night Glow Empire, it was like ants on a hot pan, spurring around, and the most anxious were the Beast Husband. They had previously received news from Shen Tang that Jia Lan and the Sea Country had an upheaval, so Shen Tang had to go rescue Jia Lan.

Fortunately, a few days ago, she sent good news that she would return soon.

But little did they know three days would pass in waiting.

Clearly agreeing on the return date, they hadn’t seen even a hair of a cat.

Xiao Jin and the others sent messages and called him, but they were like stones sinking into the sea, with no trace.

This had the Beast Husband all in a panic.

"Boom!"

Near the estuary of a large canal, Xiao Jin climbed out of the icy water drenched, choking on a mouthful of water, his face and neck flushed with cold and suffocation.

This was his thirty-fifth attempt to dive into the sea, but unfortunately, a land-dwelling leopard like him had no way to go deeper into the sea area, even if he tried a hundred or a thousand times, he would become a water ghost, unable to reach the Imperial Palace of the Sea Country.

He reverted to his human form, lying on the ground like a sick dog, punching the frozen hard ground furiously, letting out an upward howl.

In the snowy and icy land, all the blood vessels in his body were about to explode.

Xue Yinzhou stared viciously in the direction of the sea area, his aura plunging to the freezing point, emitting a rampaging, cold aura, wishing to freeze everything into ice!

Lu Xiao was also anxious and could no longer pretend to be calm, having already assembled the Empire’s most elite diving unit, capable of diving thousands of meters deep with military equipment, yet unable to move freely in the deep sea, and strength would be greatly reduced, an extremely dangerous last resort, but they had no choice.

Just as Lu Xiao was organizing the troops to forcibly enter the sea, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear, making them regain what was lost, overjoyed.

"Tangtang!"
