One hour later, all the city detectives were mobilized and surrounded our building.

A major murder and dismemberment case that shocked the whole country.

According to the news reports, in order to refine an elixir of immortality, a young man lured and drugged dozens of people from the Zhou family, cruelly killed them all, and proceeded to dismember them.

After the detectives arrived, they rescued the last two survivors from his blade, my sister and me, and took us out for psychiatric treatment.

Later, the hospital detected deep cinnabar poisoning in all the children of the Zhou family in the ICU.

Surveillance footage showed that on the day of the banquet at the hotel, the young man sneaked in and out of the hotel kitchen.

His crimes were clear and undeniable, with no room for argument or escape.

"Those people were clearly eaten, so where did the bodies and limbs in the house come from? How did the police find them?"

"What you see may not necessarily be the truth. The mysteries within cannot be revealed."

Da Jiao pretended to be mysterious and took out a lollipop from his pocket, sucking on it.

"I don't understand. If the ancestors of the Purple Sable Man had a conflict with my ancestors and wanted revenge, why did they wait until my generation? And why did they spare only my sister and me?"

"Two hundred years ago, it was my grandmother who saved the dying Purple Sable. It was cause and effect. It wanted to leave the Gui Fu Mountain and seek revenge, and my grandmother had no reason to stop it.

As for you and your sister! Didn't your sister's husband not get a marriage certificate or hold a wedding banquet? Your sister's husband can't be considered a true member of the Zhou family, and his life was exchanged for your sister's life."

"And you... since you found me and asked me to save you, it means that your life was not meant to end. With me here, the Purple Sable has no choice but to let you go."

Da Jiao rarely displayed patience as he explained to me in detail.

"But my sister... in her current state, even if she's alive, what's the point? She slept with our own father, became a widow, and went through so much. Even if it happened unconsciously at the time, these are all facts."

"There's something I don't know if I should tell you... Your sister endured it all for you. It was your grandfather who traded his life for a chance to shift the universe, and that young man, he deceived your grandfather and took away his soul."

"So... everything that my sister endured should have originally been experienced by me, right?"

Da Jiao fell silent, only nodding his head, looking at me with a hint of helplessness and pity.

Tears welled up in my eyes, I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say, and the pain in my chest almost suffocated me.
