  "Iahe fatty's eyes widened.

  "Yeah," Jiang g nodded, keeping an eye on their surroundings while quickly expining to the fatty, "You saw the fate of that white-dressed female priest."

  "That's right," the fatty hen after a pause, said, "She died horribly. After those invaders killed her, they ate her alive."

  As the fatty seemed to recall the se that had been subsciously impnted in his mind, his face twitched. For someone who had been influenced by modern society, the image of ibalism was quite uling.

  "But the curse still exists," Jiang g suddenly said.

  The fatty blinked, his thick brows almost furrowing together. "Doctor, I don't uand."

  Jiang g sighed and ged the topic. "Have you ever wondered how the old woman escaped?" He paused. "All of her teammates died in the forest, and there was no food or water there."

  "Doctor," the fatty looked a little awkward. "Actually, I had thought about this. Didn't you mention it before..."

  During the old woman's crazed mutterings, she had grinned and spoken of how those who had disappeared were still alive, living inside her body.

  From the looks of it, she had been telling the truth. She had eaten them all.

  Moreover, on the night when the biker woman disappeared, Jiang g, leaning in the er, had keenly noticed that everyone was growling with hunger, except for the old woman. Her face had been hidden in the dark, with only her eyes faintly glowing.

  She didn't seem hungry, nor thirsty.

  The fatty froze, then suddenly seemed to remember something. His mind spun rapidly, bringing him back to the se he had witnessed a few ho in the forest.

  After the real native vilge chief took the child and pced it oone sb, it was swallowed whole by the "monster" summoned by the white-dressed priestess.

  The sound of bones crag and flesh being chewed had haunted him terribly ever since.

  ch... ch...

  The fatty's pupils suddenly tracted. This wasn't a memory—it was the exact same sound ing from the cra the stone door.

  It was exactly the same as when the white-dressed priestess's "monster" chewed up the corpse!

  As expected.

  The doctor was right. The old woman was ohe white-dressed priestess. At the very least, their abilities were the same!

  That terrifying monster was hiding within them!

  It was an iance.

  The old woman was the only one who survived, not because she was strong, but because she was the one lucky enough to bee the new, bizarre vessel for the stone sb.

  That's right—a vessel!

  The fatty didn't realize he would e up with such a word, but it was undeniable that at that moment, this term fshed in his mind.

  It was aremely fitting term.

  The "mohat triggered the curse was now hiding ihe old woman. It was the source of the curse.

  "Doctor," the fatty's voice tured. He grabbed Jiang g's hand, "I know! We have to kill this old woman to end this mission!"

  "She's the source of the curse. Those people in Bckstoown are just a strange force that exists because of her," he swallowed nervously and tinued quickly, "Ohe old womahose guys in Bckstoown will probably disappear too."

  In trast to the fatty's excited expression, Jiang g remained calm. He first shook off the fatty's hand, who awkwardly rubbed his nose.

  "Doctor," the fatty hesitated, then after a while, asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?"

  "ly," Jiang g's face showed some hesitatioared at the fatty, slowly speaking, "Actually, what you just said aligns with almost everything I was thinking."

  "Then why the expression?" The fatty was now fused.

  "I don't know," Jiang g holy replied, smag his lips. "It just feels... strange, especially since you figured out what's going on here. It makes me feel like I might have missed something. Something really important."

  The fatty said, "...Doctor, why do I feel like you're insulting me?"

  "You’re overthinking it," Jiang g waited a little longer. When there was plete silen the lighthouse, he said, "Let's go in and check."

  "Okay, Doctor."

  Jiang g stepped up to the door, paused, then suddenly pushed the door open, turning to the fatty. "Fatty, I'll push you in first. You're bigger, and it's not ve for you to go in alone."

  "Doctor, don't do that. If you're afraid there's danger inside and wao go in first to test it, just say it," the fatty mimicked Jiang g's toh an exaggerated rise and fall.

  "Mm-hmm."

  After the fatty quietly sighat it was safe inside, Jiang g waited another minute before cautiously stepping in, making the fatty, hiding behind the stone door, smack his lips.

  The paralyzed figure of Ran was indeed gone.

  Only the old woman, smiling in the er, remained.

  As though aware that her identity had been exposed, the old woman raised an eyebrow. Her withered hand still rested oomach as if soothing something inside.

  The fatty felt a chill run up his spine.

  He had a strange feeling that, for the old woman, his plump flesh robably more tempting than Jiang g's lean physique.

  "Doctor," the fatty dared not look at the old woman and could only look at Jiang g. Trembling, he said, "Why do I feel like she's staring at me?"

  "Don't worry," Jiang g was about to tinue whety interrupted, looking pitiful.

  "Doctor," the fatty said with a mournful face, "Please, just tell me what you pn to do. I feel like I might not get the ce to hear it ter."

  "Two choices," Jiang g didn't avoid the old woman's gaze. Based on the information they had, he deduced that uhey were alohere was no pret for the old womaing anyone in this stone room.

  He didn't think he and the fatty were special enough to warrant an exception.

  "First, you go stab her once," Jiang g pulled out a dagger and waved it, then thought for a moment before rexing the requirement, "Two stabs are fihree at most! I'm worried that if you stab her too many times, we’ll both be in trouble."

  The fatty g the old woman. As soon as their eyes met, his whole body shivered.

  "Doctor, I'll go with the sed option," he said pitifully. "To be ho, I’ve never even killed a chi at home. I only buy fish aables that are already dead. I 't bring myself to touch the live ones."

  "Deal!" Jiang g grinned evilly.
