Bai Ze's words made Jun Li feel relieved. He said "hmm" softly and then frowned and said: "Then we have to wait for the sacrifice in a few days..."

"We have to find an opportunity to tamper with the sacrifice, and it would be best if we could kill the monster directly."

Jun Li was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke again: "Bai Ze...what do you think the sacrifice is?"

Bai Ze paused and opened his mouth, about to say "How should I know?" However, his pupils suddenly shrank and he said in unison with Jun Li: "The child's soul!!"

"Yes... that's right... it can only be this..."

Bai Ze's fingers trembled slightly and then he swallowed his saliva: "This can explain why the offerings for the sacrifice were selected by the 'Creator God' in advance before the sacrifice and the villagers were notified in advance... Why not just make the offerings public directly..."

"Because some villagers don't have children at all, and because they may have just arrived, they can't just reveal the truth that they need to devour children's souls... Otherwise, for those who are still awake, this is not a god... but a monster that eats human souls!!"

"It is very smart and knows how to manipulate human desires! It first gives those humans great benefits to satisfy their selfish desires, and then slowly makes them become its believers. In order to satisfy their desires and obtain material goods for life, they can only continue to offer children to it!!"

Bai Ze pursed his lips and whispered: "After all, for someone who has already fallen into the swamp of desire...what does a child mean? If you don't have one, you can just have another..."

"Life must go on. They cannot lose their current material life because of a child! This is why most of the missing are young people, young children, and young women!"

"Um…"

Jun Li nodded in agreement. He sighed and said tiredly, "This can also explain why they have so many children to worship the God of Creation. They can't have created all of them themselves!"

"That Mago said before that the Wish Store can satisfy all your needs...money, women, children..."

Jun Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word: "That is to say, they can actively give birth to children while buying children in the Wish Store to offer to the God of Creation!"

"And those children are all babies who have gone missing in the real world! After all, they said that if you offer sacrifices to the God of Creation, the God will grant your wishes on the spot. It seems that they are very motivated to buy and give birth to children!"

"On one hand, children in the real world are missing, and on the other hand, they are enthusiastic about having children in the fake world, so tributes are constantly coming in... Their material life is also enviable..."

"This strange creature is really smart. It keeps humans in captivity and lets them feed itself, thus forming a cycle... forming a peaceful and tranquil paradise in our eyes..."

The room suddenly fell into a strange silence. It was obvious that the truth made them feel so depressed that they couldn't breathe...

I have become a captive animal for no apparent reason, a domestic animal to be slaughtered at will for no apparent reason...

Isn't it scary? The wonderful and enviable life you lead is actually the catalyst for your own death.

When you are sinking into the wonderful life given by the so-called "Creator God", the big hand of death has already strangled your neck.

“There is one question I don’t understand…”

Jun Li looked at Bai Ze, rolled his Adam's apple, and whispered: "It spent so much effort and time... Is it really just to keep humans captive and eat their souls?"

"If that's all, then why bother? Can't we just forcibly peel off the human soul and eat it like a normal monster? Why keep it in captivity?"

"Is there any difference between simply and roughly eating the soul and keeping it in captivity in a seemingly symbiotic relationship?"

Bai Ze lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment before speaking: "The difference is that keeping them in captivity and offering them as sacrifices can form the power of faith."

"but…"

Bai Ze shook his head and looked at Jun Li with the same confusion: "The power of faith is useless against monsters, and it will even suppress the monster's ability! It is impossible for it to go to so much trouble to do this just to eat human souls, but what does a monster like it need the power of faith for?"

Both of them frowned and kept silent. After saying so much at once, they felt their minds were in a mess and could hardly think anymore.

"I don't want to..."

Jun Li reached out and held Bai Ze's cheek and pecked it gently. Although he seemed anxious, he was the first to calm Bai Ze down.

"Be good, let's not think about it anymore."

"I still say the same thing. We can't just keep thinking about it here. Let's go see Zouping in person this afternoon, and then go to the so-called wish store in a couple of days to find out what's going on."

Jun Li stroked Bai Ze's cheek with his lips and spoke gently: "Only if we go and investigate in person can we make progress and breakthroughs. We can't deduce so much if we stay in the room."

"Take a break, honey... you're sweating."

This was the first time Jun Li saw Bai Ze lose his composure because of someone similar to him. It was obvious that Bai Ze must be hiding something from him, or...

This fellow... The conspiracy of this bizarre incident was far more cruel and dangerous than he had imagined, so Bai Ze didn't dare to tell him, for fear of making him worry too much...

"Um…"

Bai Ze gently pushed Jun Li's arms away and whispered, "Then I'll go take a shower."

"I'll wash it with you."

Jun Li put his arm around his waist and returned to his usual nonchalant look. He leaned over slightly and said teasingly beside Bai Ze's ear: "I'm sweating too... and... my wife kicked my butt a few times, so she has to wash my pants."

"You have no shame!"

Bai Ze gritted his teeth and stared at him coldly, then replied grimly: "You asked for this, didn't you?"

"Just be content that I didn't ask you to wash my ass! And you're still bargaining with me!"

Jun Li rolled his eyes and subconsciously touched his butt, cursing: "Damn it! With those few kicks of yours, my butt is going to be kicked into a 36D!"

"Oh, then do I have to buy you a cover for your butt?"

Jun Li: …

Jun Li rubbed his face with a headache and then stretched out his hand to grab Bai Ze's cheek. He was so angry and wanted to laugh. In the end, he laughed helplessly: "No... who the hell did you learn this from? I tell you, your husband will check his phone after taking a shower! I don't know what you are looking at on your phone all day long! Look at what nonsense you said! You have learned bad things!"

Jun Li grabbed Bai Ze's face and cursed: "If this shit came out of Mo Jinan's mouth, I wouldn't be surprised, but why did it come out of my wife's mouth?"

"Bai Ze, Bai Ze, what is that slow-moving video's big data telling you all the time? How come such a simple little ghost behaves like a gangster?"

Bai Ze opened his hand impatiently and snorted: "You want to check my phone? Don't you know that this is an invasion of privacy?"

Jun Li was so angry that he laughed on the spot. He suddenly felt that the little vengeful spirit now had a bad temper and was even asking about his personal privacy.

"You are not a human being, why do you need privacy? Besides, do you and your husband need privacy?"

Jun Li took out his phone and threw it on the table, raising his eyebrows: "I don't have a password on my phone, you can check it if you want."

"Bai Ze, look at how upright I am. I am a man of integrity, so I am not afraid of you checking my phone, you know? Because my phone contains nothing but work and you, so I am not afraid of you finding anything."

"Look at you. Checking your phone is like fucking raping you. No... I'm your husband, why are you still on guard against me? I can't fucking unlock the password lock on your phone. It's drawn like a fucking Bagua formation and it can fucking ward off evil spirits. No... How afraid are you that I'll steal your phone?"

Bai Ze instantly became alert and a little guilty. He hid his phone behind his back without making a sound, and then said with a stiff upper lip: "Anyway, you are not allowed to look at my phone!"

Jun Li felt aggrieved when he saw him like this. He was silent for a moment and was forced to nod his head, pretending not to care: "What good-looking things can you have on your phone? I don't even want to see it!"

"From your browser search history, I can guess what kind of hilarious questions you've come up with. I don't want to read them, because I'm afraid I'll laugh so hard that my stomach will hurt."

Bai Ze still held the phone tightly behind his back vigilantly, with obvious alertness in his eyes. Jun Li was too lazy to pay attention to him, and no longer in the mood to tease him or take a shower with him. He simply took off his clothes and went to the bathroom without looking back.

Bai Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jun Li leave. He looked at the phone that Jun Li had thrown away on the table, hesitated for a moment, and gently pressed the power button. As expected, there was no lock screen password. When he swiped open it, he saw the wallpaper of a photo of Jun Li holding Bai Ze during the Chinese New Year.

Bai Ze smiled helplessly and opened his phone. The browser search box under the same lock screen wallpaper was filled with...

“How can we empathize with humans…”
