Su Qingwen watched this scene and couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth. Sure enough, opposites attract.
"We're here to rescue you. Hurry up and tell me your names so that it'll be easier for you to find your families." Hua Yueye scanned the crowd and then waved her hand, signaling the guards behind her to go forward quickly.
After seeing Hua Yueye, those young girls all became as obedient as rabbits and stopped making a fuss.
Hua Yueye looked at Su Qingwen in surprise and stepped forward to ask, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? Moreover, I got here one step ahead of you." Su Qingwen curled her lips. Her eyes searched for the red - dressed woman. She stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm. "Wait a moment. I still have something to ask you."
"What do you want?" The woman looked at her warily, looking panicked.
"What's your name? Where do you live? Have you seen that black - clothed man? Do you know why he kidnapped you?" These questions came out one after another like a machine - gun.
The woman stood there stunned and didn't know how to answer. She lowered her eyes and slowly replied, "My name is Wang Yu. My family lives nearby. I was knocked out when I went out to do the laundry. When I woke up again, I was locked up here." Saying this, Wang Yu lowered her head and started to cry. "There's only my mother at home. I don't know how she is without me."
Hearing this, Su Qingwen suddenly remembered the woman they had met before. It seemed that her surname was Wang. Su Qingwen blinked and patted Wang Yu's hand to comfort her. "Don't worry. Your mother is fine."
"Now the most important thing is, who exactly kidnapped you?" Saying this, Su Qingwen looked at her eagerly, hoping to get a reliable answer.
"We're not sure about this either. We only know that every time there's a total lunar eclipse, a poor girl will be taken away and then bled. It's really terrifying." Saying this, her body couldn't stop trembling.
"Calm down. What on earth is going on?" Su Qingwen frowned in confusion and clenched her fists. "What do you mean by bleeding? Turn them all into mummies?"
"Don't spread rumors here." Hua Yueye rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly, "What if it causes panic?"
"Okay." Su Qingwen nodded, looked at Wang Yu and said, "It's okay now. You can go. But remember, don't go out casually at night in the future."
"I know." Wang Yu nodded heavily and then turned around and left.
Su Qingwen lowered her head, thinking about what Wang Yu had said. She had her own calculations in mind. If that was really the case, it seemed like someone was holding some kind of sacrifice.
"Let's go back first." Hua Yueye gave her a deep look and said.
After they got back, Su Qingwen immediately wrote down all the clues she had obtained recently. Finally, she suddenly found that the design of the houses in the Prince of Rui's Mansion was just like an altar, and those young girls were the tributes used for the sacrifice.
"I know. Hua Yueye, it must be the Prince of Rui who sent people to kidnap these young girls. Then he kills them and bleeds them at a fixed time to hold some mysterious ceremony." Su Qingwen suddenly said.
"What ceremony?" This was too far - fetched and really hard to believe. Hua Yueye raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I'm not sure about this either. But I can sense that there must be something fishy going on." Su Qingwen's intuition told her that all this was closely related to the Prince of Rui.
It was just that they couldn't find any evidence yet.
"Don't say such ambiguous words in the future." Hua Yueye lowered her head and said unhappily. Even now, she still defended the Prince of Rui so much.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen shook her head helplessly. Her expression showed a bit of dejection as she realized that they were still far from the truth.
"It's getting late. You should go to bed early." Hua Yueye glanced at her and motioned for her to go to bed quickly.
Little did she know that after settling Su Qingwen down, Hua Yueye went alone to the yard. Looking at the total lunar eclipse tonight, she let out a bitter laugh. There was a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
Suddenly, a black figure approached her, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, someone has sneaked into the Dark Gate and tried to steal the remains of Rama."
"Who?" Hua Yueye clearly knew the answer but still asked redundantly.
"The Prince of Rui." The man lowered his voice and replied nervously.
"Go down." Hua Yueye let out a bitter laugh and clenched her fists bit by bit. Su Qingwen had really guessed right. The Prince of Rui indeed had ulterior motives.
"Your Majesty, what about the remains of Rama?" The man looked at Hua Yueye doubtfully and asked.
"Isn't it possible to divide it into two parts? Give him a part and see what he wants to do." Hua Yueye thought for a while and then gave the order. With the current status of the Prince of Rui, he shouldn't want to expand his power into the martial arts world, right?
At this time, the Prince of Rui also got the news that a part of the remains of Rama had been found.
"What? Only a part?" The Prince of Rui looked up unhappily and suddenly slapped the table. "Where's the other half?"
"The people from the Dark Gate seem to be very smart. They deliberately placed the remains of Rama in different places. In this way, our people can't find it." The man sighed helplessly.
"Damn it. With only half, we can't hold the ceremony at all. This is no joke. By the way, those young girls have also been released by Hua Yueye. Now we need to find new young girls." The Prince of Rui lowered his head and supported his head. He felt extremely irritated. He had planned to complete the sacrifice this month, but unexpectedly, all his efforts had been in vain.
"Prince of Rui, can't we hold the ceremony now? It's not easy to get half of the remains of Rama." The man frowned and said.
"No." The Prince of Rui shook his head firmly and waved his hand. "You can go down first. Pass my order. We must find the complete remains of Rama and bring it back before next month."
The man responded and then turned around and left the Prince of Rui's Mansion.
The Prince of Rui looked out of the window and slowly opened the drawer. There was a drawing in it, which showed the appearance of the remains of Rama. There was also a small line of words on it. The Prince of Rui reached out and stroked the words and slowly said,
"The remains of Rama have the effect of regeneration. If the blood of ninety - six young girls is used as a sacrifice on a full - moon night, it can repair anyone's limbs."
The Prince of Rui looked at his calf. His expression changed slightly and a strange light appeared in his eyes. With the remains of Rama, he would be able to stand up again. He would get back everything he had lost.
