?Chapter 191: 176 Lin An, you’re playing with my mind! (asking for monthly passes)_2 Chapter 191: 176 Lin An, you’re playing with my mind! (asking for monthly passes)_2 At least from the information Lin An had come across and the knowledge system he had built for himself, it shouldn’t have been like this.

The Furnace Core devours not the human soul, but the human spirit!

The human soul represents the present, while the spirit represents the past. Therefore, the Witch-hunting Knights becoming Stone Treasure-like statues isn’t because they lost their souls, but rather because of a complete severance between the present and the past.

A person who has severed their past becomes rootless in the present. Just like a plant without roots or a power strip without a plug, their present comes to a standstill.

Is that so?

Lin An still needed more research.

But if his line of thinking was correct, the approach to bring all the Witch-hunting Knights who had turned into statues worldwide back to life would be—to build a mental bridge that connects the spirit of the past with the soul of the present.

As for how to build it, perhaps as he gains more insight into the spirit in the future, he would find the answer.

This answer would undoubtedly bring revolutionary changes to the entire Supernatural World.

And what seemed to be driving Lin An to pursue this line of research and thought was that ‘ambition’ pulsating in his mind.

It was very interesting; Lin An felt as if he had touched upon some underlying logic of the Supernatural World.

Zhuang had no interest in these musings.

He could feel that countless gazes were already directed at them from behind the Antler Witch Sorcerer Slaughterhouse.

At this moment, he felt somewhat bewildered.

He had never been this bewildered before.

He had always been carefree, never feeling this sense of loss and gain.

Wow-ow-ow-ow~~~
Lin An, are you messing with my psychology here!

As the lizard beneath their feet came to a sudden halt, the reality of the taxi driver reminded them ‘Here we are, please remember to take your personal belongings…’, and the group had already arrived at the entrance to the slaughterhouse.

“!!!”

After getting out of the car, the taxi stylishly sped off to pick up another passenger with a swish of its tail.

Zhuang stepped out from the Purgatory World, glanced back at the slaughterhouse gate, glared at Lin An, and then turned his gaze towards the Caidai Witch and the girl in his arms, frowning deeply.

His gaze flickered for a moment before he burst into a hearty laugh.

With a very cheerful demeanor, he clapped his arm around Lin An’s shoulder, “An, your Uncle Zhuang treats you the best, right?”

Lin An just grinned.

Bang bang bang~
Zhuang thumped his chest loudly, muttering, “Don’t worry, I’m most protective of the young ones. Uncle Zhuang will help you! Those beasts inside, nobody dares to bully you. Leave this matter to me!”

I turn a blind eye to the act you expect me to play along with.

Lin An was still just grinning.

Zhuang waved his hand grandly, immersed in his own exuberant passion, “Let’s go, uncle will take you to see Mr. Zhang. I guarantee that Mr. Zhang will do his utmost to help this child.”

“If he doesn’t take it seriously, I’ll kill him!”

Walking along the main road of the slaughterhouse compound, several Witch-hunting Knights stood in pairs or groups at the different workshop entrances, watching curiously. Zhuang led the way, Lin An followed closely, the Caidai Witch kept his head down, not daring to look, and followed closely behind Lin An with the girl tightly in his arms.

If not for holding his daughter, he would definitely unleash all his potential at this moment to flee this place at max speed.

If he could still escape, that is.

Lin An was actually somewhat nervous; this was a risky attempt.

Of course, he did have some good in him. The wager was not the life of the Caidai Witch and his daughter but whether he would expose himself as the Black Cat Wizard.

If the Witch-hunting Knights turned against him, he would escape with the two of them.

After all, this was his own scheming based on ambition. Lin An couldn’t bring himself to gamble with others’ lives.

Regarding the future, he had not only activated the Innate Sorcery ‘Sky-Traveling Eye’ to observe every Witch-hunting Knight, but he was also tuning into his sensitivity to the spirit to feel the information in the Witch-hunting Knights’ Furnace Cores.

– Eh, eh, eh, have you seen? That kid, yes, I’m talking about the one tied up like a colorful mummy, I’m telling you, that’s Zhuang’s illegitimate child.

— Oh my, such explosive news. How did you find out?

— Heh, if you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself. The only time Zhuang ever cried in his life was when that woman died in his arms. That colorful mummy is the child of that woman. At that time, wasn’t I working as a caregiver in the hospital, huh? I just did a DNA paternity test for them on the fly.

This conversation between the lean old man in the white coat and the plump old man amazed Lin An, who had never expected that the Witch-hunting Knight who looked like a street fortune-teller used to be a hospital caregiver and even conducted DNA paternity tests?

Shouldn’t you be saying you cast a fortune, and these two have a karmic connection as father and son?

DNA and such really don’t suit your image, hey!

Contrary to Lin An’s expectation of a scene where ‘the arrival of a Wizard incites the Witch-hunting Knights to great anger,’ the atmosphere in the slaughterhouse was more like a gossip time under the tree for the aunties at the village entrance in the afternoon.

— I’m telling you, don’t spread it around, okay?

— What’s the secret, hurry up and tell!

— The guy in the white coat told me, haha, Lin An’s new assist, hahaha, is Zhuang’s illegitimate son.

— Wow, that’s so explosive!

— Don’t tell anyone, or Zhuang won’t be able to save face.

As Lin An walked along, he felt that probably all of the dozen or so Witch-hunting Knights already knew, and only Zhuang thought that no one else did.

For a moment, his expression became even more peculiar.

Of course, he also sensed some information about himself—Mr. Cao’s apprentice is just like his mentor, too domineering in his actions. Nice, nice, I like it…
