In fact, these people wearing brown wooden masks have long known that Magong Yongshi left a mark on them, and the reason they didn't remove it is quite simple.

Just as Beichuan Si wants to uproot them.

They also want to capture Beichuan Si and those who come looking for them all at once.

This is precisely their strategy of using Magong Yongshi's mark in reverse to catch Beichuan Si and Magong Yong off guard.

And in fact, this strategy succeeded.

Only the result wasn't them capturing Beichuan Si's group all at once, but rather—

"Why did it turn out like this!?"

Someone ran backward in terror.

Initially, they indeed wanted to capture Beichuan Si and his group entirely.

But as time passed and their numbers dwindled, they couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts anymore and began to flee backward.

"No... don't!"

A piercing wail of despair echoed from behind.

But it had no effect. It was just a dull thud from behind, followed by the sound of bodies colliding with the ground.

"Wait... wait a second! No... stop! Ah!!!"

The voice of begging flickered like a candle, shining momentarily before vanishing.

Torches extinguished one by one, the once bright corridor gradually consumed entirely by darkness.

Yes...

Deep darkness severed the escape route, and like a tide, the darkness rushed in.

It's a speed that no human could possibly escape.

All around, comrades emitted ear-piercing screams before the dull thud of bodies hitting the ground reverberated, entirely lost in the incessant expanding of darkness.

As if dragged into the lake bottom by deep darkness, not a sound could be heard.

Not even screams... or sounds of struggle.

In the gloomy view, only the sharp eerie laughter and the sound of a hammer dragged on the ground could be heard.

This truly was an exceedingly bizarre and terrifying scene!

People fear the unknown, even those with good intentions.

The few remaining people hastily tried to flee the corridor.

But everything was already too late.

Just as they were still watching the darkness, it had already spread over.

And then—

Bang!

Bang!

Fragmented thuds of hammering sounded, bodies heavily fell within the darkness.

"Good!" Shenzhu Shihui clapped her hands.

She turned to look behind her, and after a quick count, she satisfactorily dispersed the Good Intentions Hammer in her hand: "These are the last two."

Yes.

The masked people who were neatly aligned just now were now orderly collapsed on the ground.

Though she didn't take their lives, the hammering... even a light strike could likely cause a concussion.

Furthermore...

Shenzhu Shihui glanced at her palm, her thoughts turned slightly.

No wonder Beichuan Si likes to use hammers to solve combat... she also experimented earlier, each hammer blow indeed helps to relieve stress.

Although she was still indignant about the switch, Shenzhu Shihui felt a lot better now.

She turned and looked at Beichuan Si, who had just walked over: "Beichuan, what should we do next?"

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si glanced at her and then at the bodies scattered around her feet.

After a while, he lifted his head and said: "I just asked you to leave one awake for questioning."

"Eh?... Really?"

Shenzhu Shihui awkwardly scratched her head.

The saying goes, enemies meeting are exceptionally angry; so many enemies in front of her made it difficult to control her hands.

Without considering anything, she just went up and knocked them all down.

"But it doesn't matter."

Beichuan Si nonchalantly waved his hand: "I didn't plan to show mercy to those who intruded into my home; at that time, I'll have Liangzi assess the damage and have these individuals, with unknown identities, compensate financially and materially."

However—

Beichuan Si turned his gaze to the building in front of him.

There should still be someone inside here...

Among the people collapsed on the ground, there isn't anyone who looks like a leader.

"Let's go."

Beichuan Si stood up and directly walked towards the long house.

Nishijou Kurenai lay on his shoulder, her originally puffed-up doll face had reverted to its original form; it seemed that all her anger had been vented out just now.

Shenzhu Shihui and Magong Yongshi saw Beichuan Si like this and gently floated into Shinra Bell, following behind Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si led the way.

He first kicked open the small courtyard's gate and then smashed the main door of the long house without a second thought.

Sawdust flew everywhere! Dust fell from the beams.

But Beichuan Si was indifferent.

The opponent was so rude when entering his home, why should he be polite when visiting theirs?

While using the Death Aura Hammer to smash any furniture that blocked or displeased him, Beichuan Si remained vigilant for threats around him.

After all, this was the enemy's old hideout; there might be some measures against intruders inside.

But he soon discovered he was worrying too much.

This was just an ordinary long house with no secret doors or other trap mechanisms.

And—

Beichuan Si paused and looked down the corridor.

There, at the end of the corridor, sat a neatly dressed middle-aged woman.

She wore a white garment, with red and yellow vertical sashes stretching from both shoulders forward.

A red cord crossed her chest, and her lower body was concealed by a scarlet long skirt.

This might look like a priestess, but her attire, which was different from a traditional priestess, caught Magong Yongshi's attention.
