Chapter 205 As expected, evil only attracts evil (2/2)

Ruan Tang was initially just angry.

Later, she could no longer feel anger; all that remained was a bone-chilling coldness.

She finally understood why this country's national fortune was so weak and why the land's energy was so depleted.

This is not a natural disaster, it is a man-made disaster!

They themselves are rotten to the core, from top to bottom!

While they recklessly overdraw their own foundations, they greedily steal the life force of others, attempting to use the flesh and blood of others to make up for their own decay.

[Squeak! Little master, this country stinks! The rat's nose is going to be ruined by the smell!]

Little White had somehow peeked out of the pocket, its tiny head covered by two mithril paws, its dark purple eyes brimming with tears, and its face filled with utter despair.

In its perception, the air above this land was filled with a lingering stench of blood and decay, so strong that its spirit was almost unstable and was trembling inside its pocket.

Ruan Tang tucked it back into her pocket and patted it gently as a gesture of reassurance.

When Yan Yu led her to explore the last marked point on the map, the energy network composed of countless nodes in Ruan Tang's mind was already shockingly clear.

No more, no less, exactly 75,361!

More than 75,000 blood-sucking needles were inserted into the major arteries of Yan State, densely packed and shocking to behold.

The two returned to their personal space.

Ruan Tang squatted on the ground, her little face tense, holding a black pen, and added hundreds of tiny dots to the map that was already covered with black spider webs.

After doing all this, she stood up, her tense shoulders relaxing.

"I see."

She looked at Yan Yu, and those almond-shaped eyes, which were always watery, were now filled with a penetrating coldness.

"They built so many temples and shrines for two reasons."

"First, they use the power of the believers' incense and faith to nourish the earth's energy, which they themselves have been frantically consuming and is already overburdened. But this is a complete joke."

Ruan Tang's lips curled up, the curve extremely cold.

"The earth's energy is the foundation of a nation, born of heaven and earth. How could it possibly be compensated by the meager power of faith of mortals? It's nothing but self-deception."

"If this continues, in less than fifty years, the land's natural energy will be completely drained, volcanoes will erupt, the earth's crust will collapse, and the entire island will sink into the sea, reaping the consequences of its own actions."

She paused, then revealed the second discovery, which was also the one that disgusted her the most.

"The second purpose is screening."

“They used these nodes like sieves to filter out the most vicious and purest negative energy and sent it to that Edo-era shaman as fuel for its ‘heart’.”

“Brother, this net is more vicious than I imagined.” Ruan Tang’s voice was soft, but every word hit the ground. “It is not only stealing our national destiny, but also accelerating its own demise in the most cruel way.”

She looked up at Yan Yu and suddenly smiled.

That smile was dazzlingly bright, yet its two dimples were filled with a chilling coldness.

"But it's fine this way."

"Since they're so eager to die, then... let's give them a hand and floor the gas pedal, shall we?"

She took out a map from her spatial storage, stretched out her finger, and pointed to the location of "Edo Shokonsha" on the map.

"The heart... isn't it the most vulnerable part?"

Perhaps only here can these filthy things find their final solution. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
