Chapter 398 - 392: Horror Doll House 40
Josh looked at him coldly, his hands not stopping: "Then I will insist on letting them out."
The monster leader was furious: "Stop! Stop it!"
Seeing that she was unmoved, the monster quickly added, "I see you’re using righteous magic, why help the wicked? These baby girls all deserve to die!"
Josh looked at him with disgust: "What is righteous? What is wicked? I don’t know about those baby girls causing trouble outside, I only know that those locked up here are pitiful souls, innocent children abandoned by their families after birth."
She recalled the scenes she saw in the dream realm and clenched her fists: "It’s they who give birth without care, it’s they who take lives lightly! They are the ones who deserve death! Why are these poor children the ones sealed and imprisoned in the tower?"
The monster seemed to hear a huge joke: "They deserve to die? Without them, these baby girls wouldn’t even be in this world! They are the biological parents of these baby girls, so what if they kill them? It’s just canceling out the debt of birth, nothing more! But it’s wrong for them to harbor hatred and seek revenge!"
Ice filled Josh’s eyes: "Just because they’re born girls, they’re abandoned, and they’re supposed to be innocent? These young ones, to be burned alive in the tower, what wrong have they done?"
She laughed angrily, even her body trembling: "Yes, they’re wrong, their biggest mistake was being born into the wrong family, suffering the pain of burning shortly after birth. You claim to be righteous, yet why do such things that deprive baby spirits of power and go against the natural order?"
The monster glared at her angrily: "You’re talking nonsense!"
Josh: "I don’t know much about great principles, I only know that debts will be paid, grievances will be settled, they are innocent pitiful souls, they shouldn’t be trapped in the tower unable to be reincarnated!"
As soon as she finished speaking, golden light burst from her fingertips, forming seven Dharma Seals.
Without any hesitation, Josh sent the seven Dharma Seals flying out, shattering all the stones.
"Ahhhhhh!" The sculpture let out a sharp howl, like countless people screaming and shouting together.
With the statue shattering, the seal was lifted, revealing what was hidden beneath the statue.
Josh furrowed her brows tightly upon seeing it.
Yuze breathed a sigh of relief, retracting his Spiritual Body.
He also noticed the thing beneath the statue and raised an eyebrow: "What is this?"
Josh pressed her lips together, a trace of disgust crossing her eyes: "Hundred Families’ Clothes."
Other team members also gathered around.
Rob, covering his wound, asked curiously: "What are Hundred Families’ Clothes?"
Josh explained: "It’s a kind of... um, array. These parents cut a piece from their clothing and gave it to the Taoist priest, who used these fabrics to make a piece of clothing. The baby spirits would instinctively trust and submit to these monsters when they smell their parents’ scent. I guess this Hundred Families’ Clothes was added later, meant to subdue these children."
Rob showed a sympathetic expression: "They’re so silly, just trusting the smell? Locked in the tower and enslaved for so long, in pain and suffering, do they not rebel?"
A complex look crossed Josh’s eyes: "How smart do you expect them to be? Most of them are probably no older than four, just simple and naive little children."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground suddenly began shaking.
Josh sensed something and led everyone to step aside.
With a loud "bang," a massive black shadow burst from the ground, shooting into the sky, like a thick underground fountain.
Upon closer inspection, you’d find these were made up of countless dolls.
"They’re coming up, they’re coming up!"
"Can we leave now?"
"Can we exit the tower?"
Josh took a deep breath, mobilizing all her Spiritual Power from her Dantian, drawing a Purification Array.
The Seven-Star Array was quickly imprinted on the ground, carving out a circular pattern that rapidly expanded, covering the entire floor.
Under the halo’s illumination, the blackness within the array was slowly purified, and the baby girls emerged from the dolls’ bodies, turning into clusters of pure white halos.
"Where is this?"
"So many people!"
"Where’s Mom? I want to go home, I want to find Mom..."
Josh looked at these innocent little ones, her gaze softening: "Everyone, look over here."
"Sister!"
"Pretty sister!"
"Sister, sister, can you take me home? I’m lost!"
"I’m lost too! Please take me home, grandpa will be sad if he can’t find me!"
"I feel like I’ve been playing outside for a long time, my mom must be worried, can you please take me home quickly, sister?"
The slightly older ones knew to cry and shout to go home, but many of the younger ones were just curiously looking around, naive and relying on the older light balls beside them.
Josh opened a door in the center of the array: "Go through this door, and you’ll find the way home. Hurry up!"
The light balls cheered in response.
"Home we go!"
"Home, home! Mom, I’m coming!"
The light balls streamed through the door in succession, disappearing quickly.
Suddenly, a large and a small light ball drifted over.
The small light ball kissed Josh’s face: "Thank you, sister."
Josh recognized this as the little girl in the red dress, her gaze softening: "Go quickly."
"Mm! Bye, sister!"
Josh waved: "Goodbye."
All the light balls vanished, and the door closed once more.
Rob curiously asked: "How do you know where their home is?"
Josh’s smile faded: "Of course, that’s not the way to their own homes, but a Gathering Spirit Array that can send them to the Life Realm for reincarnation. Those parents... they don’t deserve it! These children won’t be reborn into such unfortunate families again."
Rob nodded, somewhat understanding.
Josh turned her head, inadvertently meeting Yuze’s gaze. His eyes were dark, looking at her with a heated yet complicated expression.
She felt slightly uncomfortable being stared at: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yuze suddenly laughed: "It’s nothing, just realizing our Little Tactician is really amazing."
Josh curved her lips: "There are many amazing things about me."
[Ding! Congratulations to the members of Golden Shit Stirrer for all advancing, clearing the dungeon "Horror Doll House", unlocking new scenarios! Rewards are being calculated.]
Josh took one last look at the dungeon and exited it.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a light point flashing continuously in a corner of the seventh floor.
The Gathering Spirit Array she had drawn on the ground hadn’t dispersed, even expanding continuously, spreading outside the building.
The small light point stepped towards the center of the array, but no door appeared again.
The light point seemed anxious, suddenly turning, looking angrily in Josh’s direction, eyes filled with unwillingness.
Josh wanted to take a closer look, but she was already being transported out.
