The moment I regained consciousness, I felt a burning pain in my throat.

Opening my eyes, I found myself still in the original room, with all my limbs bound by rope.

After struggling for a while, I gave up.

Recalling the content of the ancient text on the wall, I already knew what was coming next.

Lying quietly on the bed, silently awaiting the arrival of fate.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening came, and I suddenly sat up, was it Bai Ling?

But the person who came in was Bai Min. After she entered, she stared at me fixedly, her expression constantly changing, as if she was making some difficult decision.

In the end, she spoke: "I'm here to save you.

"After you leave, do not mention this place to anyone, and do not come back."

"Why are you saving me?" I asked with a hint of doubt.

She found a chair to sit down and lit a cigarette.

"Since you entered the temple, you should know everything.

"Those two things in the temple are the so-called extraterrestrial beings, and their function is very simple.

"That is to transfer souls."

Although I already knew that such absurd things were true, when Bai Min said it, I still felt a sense of unreality.

Bai Min blew a smoke ring and continued:

"After the soul is transferred, the original soul of the body will be suppressed by the new soul, falling into a deep sleep until the new soul leaves.

"When will the new soul leave? That is when this body decays beyond recognition.

"And at that point, the original soul wakes up, only to find that the once youthful body has aged significantly, which is basically unbearable and leads to a mental breakdown."

Bai Min's voice seemed to carry a chill, making my body become colder and colder.

"White Ling and I are like the hunting dogs of the Bai family, bringing them one healthy and unattached young body after another.

"Just like you and Liu Fei.

"The only difference between White Ling and me is that this time, I fell in love with my prey, whereas she never would."

With the last trace of fantasy shattered, my heart ached as I closed my eyes.

I heard the sound of the rope being cut, and soon I felt the ropes loosening on my body.

"Hurry, this is the only thing I can do for Liu Fei.

I looked into her eyes and slowly said, "If you really love Liu Fei, you should wake him up and leave with him."

Bai Min's expression became pained as she murmured, "You think I don't want to? It's impossible now."

"Aren't you curious? Why does the Bai family, with such a treasure, now have only a few villagers left?"

I was stunned, this was a question I had never considered.

"Because of an accident that caused a large number of Bai clan members to wake up in the host bodies of the original souls.

"After waking up, those people were filled with anger and greed towards the treasure, nearly destroying the entire Bai family.

"And the culprit who caused all this, was a flower."

The name of the flower was Waking Flower, uprooting and destroying everything in its path.

These few blood-red words flashed through my mind.

"The Waking Flower!" I almost shouted out immediately.

Bai Min's face turned grave as she said:

"That's right, the scent of this flower can indeed awaken the original host's soul.

"But after years of destruction, the Waking Flowers in this area are already extinct."

My heart suddenly sank, it seemed impossible to awaken Liu Fei using this method.

"Do you know what it looks like? I will go out and find it to save Liu Fei."

Bai Min shook her head: "Only Grandma Bai knows what it looks like."

Grandma Bai, Waking Flower, these words were repeating in my mouth.

Suddenly, like a lightning bolt splitting open the darkness of the night, I opened my eyes wide, grabbed Bai Min's hand tightly, and shouted:

"I know where to find the Waking Flower!"
