Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Sure Enough, Took the Bait

The information presented in these frames was essentially consistent with what the middle-aged man had said, and indeed there was no trace of the man’s eldest son in them.

However, among these frames, you saw a portrait, their family portrait, where a young man of similar height to the man stood to his right, presumably his eldest son.

The young man bore a strong resemblance to the man, and for some reason, you always felt that there was something about the youth’s figure that also resembled the man in black.

Hiss—

No way?

You quickly sank into contemplation.

At that moment, the middle-aged man’s emotions had relatively calmed down, and he continued, "I have no idea how to break the spell cast by the man in black, and over the years, I have tried many, many methods, none of them successful. I even lured two people into the ancient well, those two skeletons beside you are theirs. They were not in there for long before the bloody water floated them up, already turned into skeletons."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hai immediately grabbed your arm and said, "Hey, Brother Yun, it seems he’s not very reasonable, is he?"

"We have no other choice now, the only thing we can do is to help him!"

"But even he himself doesn’t know how to break the seal laid by the man in black, what can the two of us possibly do?"

"Haizi, remember we’re a team. Even though it’s just the two of us now, I think you’re well aware that a team definitely has its roles. Your job is to deal with the clients, discuss prices, and take money; my job is to deal with ghosts and solve problems!"

With that, you turned and walked towards the ancient well.

"Hey, Brother Yun, what are you doing?" Xu Hai hastened forward, anxiously grabbed your hand.

"Nothing, just going down to take a look."

"Going down?" As soon as you said this, Xu Hai’s face went pale, "This is no joke. Didn’t the uncle just say he threw two people down there only for them to come out as skeletons in the blink of an eye!"

You laughed and said, "It’s fine. Intuition tells me that jumping in is the only way to solve the problem, and personally, I feel I shouldn’t have any problems."

"But, but..."

You patted Xu Hai on the shoulder, trying to appear as composed as possible, "Don’t worry. If we can’t handle even this, then there’s no need to keep running Flash Detective Agency."

With these words, you stepped forward swiftly. As you approached the ancient well, you bit your right index finger hard, squeezing out some fresh blood. You dotted the blood on your clothes, legs, and shoes, then gestured to Xu Hai to come over.

"Brother Yun, please be careful!"

Standing next to the ancient well, looking down into it.

From the surface, the ancient well didn’t seem to have anything special about it. It was not deep, perhaps only three or four meters, and the bottom had dried up, showing no sign of water, with some moss growing on the sides of the well.

Truth be told, there was still some concern in your heart, but since you had already bluffed to this extent, there was no turning back.

With that thought, you took a deep breath, without overthinking, you leaped down!

The mud and sand at the bottom of the well were much thicker than you had imagined, so when you jumped down, you hardly felt any pain in your feet.

"Brother Yun, how is it?"

Though Xu Hai was somewhat afraid, since you had already jumped down, he didn’t stand by idly.

"It’s fine, there’s nothing down here but mud and sand..."

However, no sooner had these words left your mouth than you suddenly felt an icy sensation underfoot, and looking down, you saw that water was seeping out from the bottom of the well!

This water, of unknown origin, rose quickly and soon reached your waist!

Just as you were preparing to climb up along the well walls, you felt a chilling touch around your ankle!

A hand!

A hand suddenly grabbed your ankle!

Before you could react, the hand forcefully yanked, dragging your entire body into the water!

At that moment, only one thought crossed your mind—hadn’t you already reached the bottom? Why were you still sinking?

Your body kept sinking, the sensation of being suffocated by water wrapped around you instantly, making it impossible for you to breathe!

Gan!

Was this death?

No sooner had the thought flashed through your mind than your eyes suddenly flew open, the interwoven light of black and white flickering within your pupils once more.

"Master, do you need strength?"

It was that voice again!

You had no recollection whatsoever of what happened after the fight with Qin Feng that night, and when you asked Xian Qianling and Li Li about it, they never gave you a satisfactory answer, always brushing off your questions with some vague response.

The only thing you remembered was this voice!

"Who are you? Why are you inside my body?"

"My master, I am you. I am not inside your body; I am branded deep within your soul."

"So you are me? Are you saying that you are my lost memory?"

"No, no, no, my master. I am the source of your strength. Come, my master, just like last time, open your heart and let me in..."

That voice seemed to carry infinite allure, and you naturally closed your eyes, slowly opening your heart, waiting for it to enter—Hmm?

Wait a minute!

Something wasn’t right!

You suddenly opened your eyes wide!

Enter?

Hadn’t it said it was branded in the depths of your soul? Why did it still need to come in?

"Are you deceiving me?"

The voice continued, "You are my master; why would I deceive you? I am the source of your power, and only by uniting can you possess the power to destroy the sky and the earth!"

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "I’m just a poor Dios; what do I need the power to destroy the sky and the earth for!"

"Is that so? Are you thus resigned, my master, to be dragged to the bottom of the Formation by this wrongful spirit? Then have your soul restrained by her, your flesh consumed by her?"

While you were hesitating, you felt a violent shake of your soul, as if an external force intended to completely envelope your spirit!

"Taking advantage of someone in their moment of weakness?"

"Hehe, my master, last time due to the interference of others, we were unable to fully fuse. Now there’s no one around to stop us. Come, let us merge completely, and then you will understand what true power to destroy the sky and the earth is!"

The power became stronger and stronger, quickly merging into your soul and rushing towards a place deep within it.

"Hmph."

At this moment, the corners of your mouth slightly curled up, sketching out a hint of a cold smile.

"You really took the bait, huh."

Right then and there, deep within your soul, another incredibly mighty force suddenly emerged. If the force trying to envelope your soul was a river, then the power that surged from the depths of your soul was an ocean!
