…
Mo Fan was aware of everything that had happened.
He had to admit that he was terrified too. He had to be extra cautious every time he took a breath, as he was not sure if he was going to be the next one to vomit black blood!
"It's more likely that the poison is affecting the Golden Battle Hunters. We should be glad that there are more than a thousand of us. Judging from the number of deaths, the chance of it happening to us is around one percent," Ling Ling quickly entered the data into the computer.
"It's unbelievable that you can still speak like that under such circumstances," Mu Ningxue glanced at Ling Ling. She suddenly felt that the little girl was a weirdo.
She glanced at the adults around her. Many of them were so scared that their pants were wet, yet Ling Ling seemed to be uninvolved. She simply watched everything happening quietly.
"This isn't good, Ling Ling, we've really fallen into the abyss of death," Mo Fan smiled wryly. He tried his best to treat Ling Ling's words as some kind of consolation.
A one percent chance. He was not that unlucky.
However, when he saw the people vomiting black blood and turning into ashes, Mo Fan still did not feel that there was anything worth rejoicing about. Perhaps this was only the beginning?
He had to admit that everything that had happened was in line with the Black Vatican's style. There was no sign at all, and death was coming at them like a storm. Even the experts who had experienced great things would have a mental breakdown.
"It seems like the poison has stopped spreading for now," Mu Ningxue said.
"I'm afraid it's only temporary," Ling Ling said in an ominous tone.
"Do you have any idea? Is it some kind of curse?" Mo Fan asked.
It was too unbelievable. Why would the people here suddenly be poisoned? Was it some kind of deadly poison that was spreading around the manor?
But how could they explain why everyone who left the manor had died? How could they explain why the poison had stopped spreading?
"If a curse is this strong, it means that the person is not far away from becoming a Forbidden Mage," Ling Ling said.
If it was a single-target curse, it would be quite simple. It was similar to the Demon Torture, which could be cast after drawing a Star Constellation. However, it was very difficult for a single person to cast a group curse!
"What should we do now?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"Nothing can be done. In short, before we figure out if this poison can be triggered at any time, we must not reveal our identities. "Ling Ling lowered her voice and said to Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.
It was obvious that the Golden Battle Hunters had infuriated the Black Vatican. The Black Vatican had resorted to their crazy methods of revenge. Now, even the tourists were affected.
"What if they intend to kill everyone here? We can't just sit here and wait for death," Mu Ningxue said worriedly.
She had finally witnessed how cruel and terrifying the Black Vatican was. They had to be extra careful even when they were breathing in an environment where they could die at any second.
The Golden Battle Hunters were in charge of the situation. However, judging from the uneasiness of the Hunters, they had no idea how to deal with the poison, either. Their communication devices had been cut off, preventing them from communicating with the outside world. Even if the outside world knew something was wrong, with the poison's efficiency, everyone would be dead by now.
"Wang Xuxu is missing, Wang Xuxu is missing …" Guo Wenyi blurted out in a panic when she suddenly realized something.
"Yeah, where's Wang Xuxu? Zhao Pinlin, did you see Wang Xuxu?" Wang Bin asked in a panic.
It was the scariest thing for someone to go missing in such a dangerous situation.
"Who knows, I didn't see her for the whole night. She said she was feeling unwell in her room. Isn't she in her room?" Zhao Pinlin pretended to be confused.
"Asshole, why didn't you look after her? If anything happened to her …" Rong Sheng was enraged. He almost grabbed Zhao Pinlin's collar.
Zhao Pinlin shoved Rong Sheng away and said with a hollow laugh, "She locked herself in her room. What can I do?"
"I went to look for her before, but she wasn't in her room …" Guo Wenyi said.
"Don't tell me she has turned into one of those black corpses?" someone blurted out.
Everyone was stunned by the words. Rong Sheng and Guo Wenyi were the first to snap, "Don't talk nonsense, she will be fine!"
"The corpse is so black that it's impossible to identify it. Who can say for sure?" Zhao Pinlin said calmly.
"How could you say something like that!" Rong Sheng lost his temper. He lunged at Zhao Pinlin like a wild beast.
The two immediately got into a scuffle. Rong Sheng was obviously a lot stronger than Zhao Pinlin, leaving a few wounds on his body.
The others quickly pulled them apart. Zhao Pinlin touched the wounds on his face and looked at his torn shirt. His eyes flickered viciously.
However, he did not show it immediately. He swallowed his anger and left the place.
"Zhao Pinlin, where are you going?"
"Don't go anywhere, it's going to be dangerous." Wang Bin and the others tried to stop him.
"I'm going back to my room, don't bother me!" Zhao Pinlin snapped.
"Rong Sheng, what are you doing? Zhao Pinlin already said that he didn't see Wang Xuxu at night. Why are you still venting your anger on him?"
"Alright, alright, let's stop arguing. We don't even know if we are going to be the next victims of the poison, yet we are still arguing here. Let's go to the window first. I believe the people of the Magic Association will come and save us soon," someone stepped forward to maintain order.
Everyone quickly hid in the window where they first came to the mansion. Their faces were pale.
"I'm a little thirsty, ask the butler to prepare some tea," said a man.
"Who would have the time to serve you at a time like this? Everyone could end up like you. It's going to spread!" Wang Bin harrumphed coldly.
Lingling was still typing rapidly on the computer with her fingers. She put together all the information she had gathered on the ranch together. She wanted to find the answer to the poison. If she couldn't figure out how they were poisoned, she wouldn't be able to figure out how to get rid of the poison crisis.
"Tea?" Mu Ningxue murmured softly.
Ling Ling and Mofan raised their heads slightly. They thought she was thirsty and wanted to drink something. When a person was nervous, drinking some water could ease their anxiety.
"Mofan, Ling Ling, do you remember when we first arrived here? The butler and Carly gave us a cup of black tea, saying it was the specialty of this place," said Mu Ningxue.
"You think there's something wrong with the tea?" asked Ling Ling.
Mofan was startled, before he said with a smile, "I don't think so. Everyone here has drunk it, including the people who came here before. I don't think anyone is poisoned."
