Chapter 85: 85. Return of the -

Hyur offered Tyler some food, which had been laced with a sleeping powder. However, Tyler politely refused and instead took a fasting pill he had with him. He had no appetite and preferred not to eat anything.

"This bastard is vigilant," Hyur thought, noting Tyler’s cautiousness in refusing food from a stranger. Now, Hyur had to think of another way to subdue him. Knocking Tyler out was an option, but it carried the risk of being noticed by other patrol officers in the cave.

Determined, Hyur led Tyler to the tunnel where all the kidnapped children were being held. This Blood Cave Garden had been established by some sect elders and was meant for future generations to explore. Occasionally, new and unexplored caves or passages would open up. Hyur had discovered one by chance, but unfortunately, it didn’t yield any treasures. The only valuable item he found was sealed behind a barrier he couldn’t breach. Despite this, he did find an array that allowed him to control certain aspects of the cave.

After entering the cave, they found the children unconscious. Tyler checked them and sighed with relief that they were alright, but he didn’t find Silvia.

"Yeah, take me to Silvia," Tyler demanded.

"W-what are you saying?" Hyur panicked.

"After releasing that guy whom I tied up before, I asked a servant disciple if anyone had visited Supervisor Han along with that guy. They didn’t know your name, but they described your appearance," Tyler explained. Hyur, with his bright brown hair, stood out even in a group of brown-haired people.

"As expected, someone from the investigation department," Hyur muttered, stopping his pretence and walking further into the cave.

"What about these kids?" Tyler asked.

"Oh... Aren’t you righteous? Well, they will wake up in four hours. Their charms can withstand for six hours. So don’t worry. I will also leave the way open," Hyur replied as he touched the side of the wall, causing an engraved array to shine brightly in the air and open a passage that would allow others to find the children easily. He then opened another cave.

Tyler and Hyur entered inside. Hyur stood by the entrance and locked the cave from the inside. He didn’t want to give them a chance to escape.

Tyler looked ahead and saw Silvia inside a barrier. He quickly understood why Hyur had lured him there. Silvia had somehow entered the barrier, and Hyur had no choice but to lure Tyler and threaten Silvia to achieve his goals. Tyler was relieved to see that Silvia was fine. She still had a few more charms to protect herself from the chaotic energies outside the barrier.

"Girl," Tyler called out to her.

Silvia, who had almost fallen asleep, woke up and her eyes lit up when she saw Tyler. However, she was still worried.

"Open the barrier," Tyler said in a language from their previous world. Silvia understood and opened it.

Suddenly, Hyur lunged forward, but Tyler, as if anticipating this moment, spun around and used the copper pot to knock Hyur on the head. A charm appeared in Tyler’s hand—a small attack charm he had bought for safety.

Hyur was caught off-guard and was knocked down. By the time he got up, Tyler was already inside the barrier. The smart little girl quickly closed the barrier immediately after he entered.

"Darn it. I will just wait here. I will see how long you can stay here." Hyur just sat there. His previous plan failed so he has no Choice but to wait till their charms expire.

Tyler sighed. He understood that he was in a terrible situation. He was now Missing his abnormal luck a lot. Tyler already felt when that abnormal luck planted by someone left his body.

"What happened?" Tyler asked.

"He tried to kidnap me. Uncle Horny is he also a pervert?" Silvia asked.

Tyler’s mouth twitched. What do you mean by also? Who is the other pervert? He decided not to ask.

"How can you control the barrier?" Tyler asked.

"The instruction is here." She pointed at the stone slab.

Tyler couldn’t understand a word. But he knew that Silvia has the ability to understand every language and also has the ability to communicate with anything that has intelligence and proper language.

"Then what is written here?" Tyler showed the other side of the stone slab and asked.

Silvia was surprised because she failed to notice. She began to read,

" In shadows deep where secrets lie, A mask of power, red and white, Whose painted face, both meek and sly, Conceals the truth from mortal sight.

The wearer’s presence, masked and dim, Like phantoms in the twilight’s gleam, Becomes a whisper, soft and slim, A hidden force within a dream."

"Is this a poem?" Tyler wondered aloud, confused.

Suddenly, a small compartment opened, revealing a red and white mask adorned with beautiful patterns. Tyler took a deep breath and carefully picked up the mask.

"Hey, what is that? Is that a treasure?" Hyur asked smugly. "It doesn’t matter. After you guys die, those things will belong to me." Despite his confident tone, he was secretly praying for the girl’s survival.

He wore a mask. But nothing happened. Tyler sighed his hopes of getting power and crushing the enemy had been crushed. He kept it and decided to study it later.

Tyler looked at his remaining charms and there were only 10 left.

"Just hand over the girl. We can even share the money and treasure." Hyur tried to persuade him.

"Oh.. The other party even offered treasures. Nice nice." He gave him a thumbs up and ignored him. Silvia laughed which made Hyur even angry. He punched the barrier but nothing happened. He went back and sat down.

Six hours later. Silvia’s charm amulets are about to end. Tyler gave his charms to her. He gave her three and kept one. He was brainstorming a way to escape.

One hour later. Tyler is out of charm. He felt chaotic energy entering his pores. But he was able to withstand it. Tyler thought he could handle for five hours because of his strong body refined by Elemental Body Refining Method.

But reality hit him hard. He almost fainted in an hour. He underestimated this chaotic energy, it doubles its power everytime his body observes.

Silvia was worried. She took a charm and placed it on him. Tyler felt good but he couldn’t open his eyes. He felt paralyzed.

He sighed, ’After abnormal luck, am I plagued by abnormal misfortune?’ He thought.

He still had few attack charms, he decided to catch the enemy off-guard but due to his carelessness he is the one who caught off-guard. He felt so sleepy.

"Before coming here , I already informed law enforcement to search for me if I go missing for more than 20 hours. Don’t give up, Girl. Just wait for a few more hours." Tyler said that and passed out.

Silvia was worried about Tyler.

"Little Girl, Hand over the treasure and yourself. I will save him." Hyur said.

Silvia ignored his yapping. She believed Tyler and decided to wait. Her eyes turned to the copper pot. She was always curious why Tyler would throw food in it and take it and eat it. Is it some sort of ritual? She took the copper pot and hid behind the stone slab. She took a candy from her pocket and placed it inside. She just copied Tyler’s action.

Then she took out the candy and ate it.

"Hmm... The candy is still the same." She murmured. She thought it would turn into something delicious.

"Hmm? Did I put two candies inside?" She was confused when she saw another candy inside. She took that out and kept it in her pocket.

Silvia was stunned and took a step back in panic. She gathered her courage, moved forward and looked into the Copper Pot. There is another candy.

She was baffled. She took it out. Another one. Another one. Silvia understood. No wonder Tyler felt depressed. It’s because this thing was not working, but now it works.

She was excited by this magical treasure. She carefully looked outside. Hyur is just meditating while eyes are closed. She then sighed and took out the charm and placed it inside. She made 20 copies. She placed ten inside Tyler’s dress.

An hour later Tyler woke up. The charms helped him to observe the residual energy in his body. Tyler was surprised when he saw more charms on his body. He turned his head and saw Silvia eating candies and a small palm sized mountain of candies beside her.

"Uncle horny, You are awake. How do you take this candy out without copying?" She asked as she looked up. She was stunned.

Men usually don’t cry. But Tyler is now crying. It is tears of happiness. He is now feeling like he could buy the whole world.

He walked forward and touched the copper pot. Soon some information appeared on his mind.

The copper pot was tested. Will he throw it away when it becomes useless or not? Tyler passed the test. So the copper pot power remained.
