Qiu Shiliu’s agonized scream came ear-splittingly from Jiang Shi’s left eye.

Bai Jiu looked at the battle situations on both sides and momentarily fell into anxiety. “Shiliu… you…”

The “Door” in Qiu Shiliu’s hand fell to the ground, then rolled with a clatter to the wall, coincidentally leaning against it.

Bai Jiu also saw that after Jiang Shi’s left eye spun dizzyingly, it finally displayed that horrifying scene.

Qiu Shiliu’s right arm had been completely torn off, and a massive amount of blood was crazily spraying out like a sprinkler truck. Her cheeks had also become deathly pale in this instant.

But due to the limited viewing angle, Bai Jiu couldn’t see Qiu Shiliu’s expression clearly.

Turning her head again, Wangba’s “Gigantification” was broken, his body rapidly shrinking while similarly spraying out large amounts of blood.

The two Xuanwus inside and outside the frame simultaneously raised the severed arms in their hands and viciously swung them like whips at the people before them, the timing not off by a single second.

Qiu Shiliu and Wangba flew out at the same moment. Wangba was urgently rescued by “Levitation” Wu Shisan, while Qiu Shiliu crashed into the stove, raising a cloud of dust.

“It won’t work…” Bai Jiu said with furrowed brows. “Although little Xuanwu wants to die, when she’s near death she synchronizes with Xuanwu… Shiliu alone can’t possibly succeed…”

At this moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

“Reaching Into the Bag…” Qiu Shiliu said softly while lying on the ground. “Si Ge…”

“I’m here.” Officer Li also stepped forward and stood beside Jiang Shi.

“Her strength is the same as Xuanwu’s… I can’t match her. Try Reaching Into the Bag…” Qiu Shiliu said through gritted teeth, her voice already extremely weak. “The eyes are right there… her right eye.”

Bai Jiu thought carefully for a moment.

“Use ‘Reaching Into the Bag’ to take the eyeball…”

After hearing Qiu Shiliu’s suggestion, Officer Li couldn’t help but be stunned for a long time. Although he understood what she meant, the difficulty of this task was somewhat exaggerated for him.

What he now had to do was stare at Jiang Shi’s eyes, see little Xuanwu’s right eye in that tiny frame, and then extract one of the eyeballs from it.

The principle was correct, and the method was feasible.

But the only difficulty lay in the fact that Officer Li was a criminal police officer. Although he had already heard Bai Jiu describe the situation in detail, his long-term work nature meant he had to completely implement materialism.

All crimes in this world couldn’t possibly involve ghosts and spirits causing trouble. Mysticism wasn’t a tool that criminal investigation would use.

The description Bai Jiu gave just now was truly extremely mystical. After hearing it, Officer Li could only try his best not to produce doubts, but he also had no way to completely believe it subconsciously.

Xuanwu had stored her eyes in another space, on her childhood self. Now they wanted him to stare at Jiang Shi’s eyes, cross the barriers of time and space, transfer the other party’s eyes alive to the present space, and grasp them in his own hands.

Even if all of this could be accepted and reluctantly believed, Officer Li didn’t know what it would feel like to hold an eyeball in his hand.

He closed his eyes to adjust his thoughts for a while, then reached his hand into his pocket and concentrated fully on attempting to retrieve little Xuanwu’s eyeball.

This unfathomable feeling made him feel split.

To what degree of madness must one reach to firmly believe that one’s pocket contained the eyeball from the other party’s eyes?

As long as his conviction wavered even slightly, that pocket would always remain completely empty.

Previously, in order to train himself to “take away hearts,” he hadn’t slept for several days, placing a heart in his pocket, taking it out and putting it back over a thousand times a day. But to forget the feeling of “heart” in such a short time and replace it with “eyeball” was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.

“I can’t…” After trying more than ten times, Officer Li shook his head and said, “A child’s eyeball and an adult’s eyeball are also different… and I truly don’t know what it feels like to hold an eyeball in my hand…”

Bai Jiu thought with furrowed brows for a moment, then decisively said, “Si Ge, take the heart.”

“Heart…?” After hearing this, Officer Li nodded. “…I’ll try.”

He stared carefully at Jiang Shi’s left eye, then once again reached his hand into his pocket, while simultaneously trying his best to forget in his mind all concepts of so-called “space” and “time.” That small Xuanwu was clearly standing right in front of him.

She was just an ordinary prey waiting to be slaughtered.

After a short while, Officer Li suddenly opened his eyes wide. He felt that he had touched a pulsating thing in his pocket.

But when he tried to pull that thing out of his pocket, he discovered that he actually couldn’t budge it even an inch.

“Wait… what’s going on…”

He lowered his head, continuously exerting force with his right hand, but discovered that the heart only wanted to stay in his pocket. No matter what, there was no way to make it appear.

“What’s wrong, Si Ge?” Bai Jiu asked from the side.

“I seem to have gotten it…” Officer Li said again. “But I can’t move that heart…”

“Can’t move it…?”

Officer Li hurriedly released his hand, then opened his pocket to look inside. That pocket was completely empty. It seemed that the moment he released his hand, the heart had also disappeared without a trace.

No, rather than saying the heart disappeared when he released his hand, it would be better to say that his hand hadn’t reached into his pocket, but instead had pierced into Xuanwu’s chest in that instant just now.

The heart in that chest was like stone, completely impossible to move even half an inch.

“Her heart is extremely solid…” Officer Li lowered his head to look at his own palm. That palm was wreathed with the aura of another space. “Theoretically, ‘Reaching Into the Bag’ wanting to take away something ignores its own connections, but this heart is truly strange… I can’t take it away…”

“Even this path won’t work…”

Bai Jiu knew this wasn’t something that could be achieved through effort. That little Xuanwu’s body structure had some unknown strangeness. If she similarly possessed “Immortality” or something else… wanting to take away her eyes, relying on a severely wounded Qiu Shiliu and Officer Li who was far away in another space was inherently an impossible task.

In the dilapidated temple, Qiu Shiliu lay on the ground and laughed foolishly a few times. “Saying things like ‘come kill me’… then resisting when about to die… I actually believed your lies…”

“How audacious.” Little Xuanwu slowly raised her head, shooting out a cold gaze from within her hair. “You can kill me, but you cannot kill me here.”

“Heh… so you’ve appeared in person.”

Qiu Shiliu slowly turned her head and reached into the stove to pull out a piece of charcoal burned pitch black, then viciously pressed it against her severed shoulder.

The smell of burning flesh began to scatter along with Qiu Shiliu’s screams.

She knew she couldn’t die yet. She had to use the fastest method to stop the bleeding.

“Xuanwu…” Qiu Shiliu asked. “In your childhood, your life belonged to the Bodhisattva… but what about now?”

“What…?” Little Xuanwu looked toward Qiu Shiliu with a cold and stern face.

“You’ve already arrived at a place like the ‘Land of the End.’ Why don’t you go die yourself?”
