"What did you say? How many times have you used it?" Shen Yue quickly asked.


    "I''ve used it three times, four including this time. So although this furball can save lives, I dare not use it carelessly."


    Shen Yue immediately looked at Kun Yao, who shook her head:


    "It''s fine. I feel that it''s not absorbing energy very quickly. It''s still okay for now."


    Thinking of the ocean-like energy in Kun Yao''s body, Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief.


    She looked at the ball''s wall with disdain again.


    "Seems like nothing comes for free, huh," Shen Yue looked outside. "These guys still aren''t leaving. Damn it."


    Outside, Number 75, unable to find them, was becoming increasingly agitated.


    "Where are they? Where the hell did they hide?!"


    "Bitches, they''re all bitches!"


    After raging helplessly for a while, Number 75 suddenly calmed down. Then all the living dead villagers suddenly stopped, paused for a moment, and then rushed towards Chen Si and Zhou Tongting.


    "Big brother?! Big brother? What are you doing?"


    Chen Si panicked, trying to run back with Zhou Tongting, but they were surrounded by the villagers.


    "Big brother, help!"


    Number 75''s face revealed an evil smile as he began to speak: "Chen Si, you''ve seen it too. Shen Yue and the others have hidden somewhere, and we still need a few more lives. Big brother promised to take you out, but now big brother has no choice. If we don''t find them, none of us will survive!"


    "Big brother, what do you mean?" Chen Si''s face was pale, his eyes frantic.


    "How about this, you hand over Zhou Tongting. You see that coffin behind big brother? It''s hungry, it needs someone to sacrifice."


    Shen Yue pressed against the ball''s wall, watching this scene with relish.


    "Look, look, the dogs are biting each other!"


    "Ha, serves them right!" Fan Quguang had also seen this scene.


    Both of them were intently watching, pressed against the wall. Kun Yao looked at them, then at the ball''s wall, and lightly tapped it with her supporting hand. Then she withdrew her arm.


    She also walked forward to watch with them.


    Chen Si was controlled by the villagers, while Zhou Tongting was crying and screaming as the villagers carried her to the coffin.


    "Shen Yue! Kun Yao, I know you''re here. If you don''t come out, she will die for sure."


    Number 75 suddenly shouted extremely loudly.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    Hearing this, Shen Yue was stunned: "What kind of move is this?"


    Fan Quguang thought seriously: "Is he using Zhou Tongting to threaten us to come out?"


    "Using Zhou Tongting to threaten us?" Shen Yue''s expression was almost unbelievable. "Are we that close to Zhou Tongting? Shouldn''t he be using Zhou Tongting to threaten Chen Si to die?"


    At this moment, Chen Si suddenly knelt down.


    "Big brother, please, don''t hurt Tongting! Don''t hurt her!"


    "Tsk tsk, he''s acting so well," Fan Quguang commented while taking something out of his pocket and putting it in his mouth.


    "No good," Shen Yue shook her head, looking at the scene with disgust. "This acting is terrible."


    Suddenly feeling something, she turned her head and met Kun Yao''s eyes.


    She seemed to have been watching her the whole time.


    Shen Yue was stunned, her gaze flickered, and she quickly turned her head away.


    Before her ears had time to turn red, she suddenly heard a sound. She turned to look and saw Fan Quguang watching the performance while cracking... sunflower seeds?


    "You even have sunflower seeds?"


    "Here, have some. I always carry them, you know, personal habit," Fan Quguang was generous, dividing the seeds in his hand.


    He gave some to Shen Yue, some to Kun Yao, and even some to the little ghost on his shoulder.


    "You really are leisurely," Kun Yao looked at the seeds in her hand.


    "Oh, it''s nothing... Kun Yao?!"


    Fan Quguang''s seeds fell to the ground as he frantically checked the furball''s wall.


    "It''s fine, it''s still working. They can''t see us from outside," Kun Yao said.


    Fan Quguang was dumbfounded, but he quickly realized Kun Yao was telling the truth.


    Shen Yue met Kun Yao''s eyes and curiously asked, "How did you do that?"


    Kun Yao leaned in close, whispering in her ear, "I gave it energy to absorb. It''s not like you, it gets full."


    "..."


    Shen Yue was stunned by these words.


    She wasn''t sure if it was because of Kun Yao''s warm breath on her ear or the meaning behind her words.


    "Great, I didn''t expect we wouldn''t need to hold it up anymore!" Fan Quguang was overjoyed to find it was indeed as Kun Yao had said.


    At this time, the performance outside was still continuing.


    "Kun Yao, Shen Yue, I beg you, come out quickly, save us!" Chen Si was also controlled by the living dead villagers and pushed to the coffin.


    He wept painfully, acting very remorseful.


    "Big brother, please spare me, spare us. Shen Yue and the others will definitely come out. They won''t stand by and watch us die!"


    Hearing this, Fan Quguang spat: "Shameless bastard!"


    Shen Yue also couldn''t understand their logic: "Have these young people watched too many TV dramas, idol dramas, ethical dramas? They''re trying to morally blackmail us here. How are their brains wired to think we''d go out to save them? Did my ears malfunction, or are their brains installed backwards? Do I look like such a naive idiot?"


    "Heh," a light chuckle came from Kun Yao beside her.


    Shen Yue''s heart skipped a beat, but she controlled herself not to turn and look at her.


    "There''s no time left, brother. I''m really sorry," Number 75 actually smiled apologetically at Chen Si.


    Unexpectedly, Number 75 chose to kill Chen Si first. Spare Zhou Tongting? At this time, Zhou Tongting was still crying, unable to speak.


    Number 75 waved his hand, and those living dead villagers lifted him up. The coffin lid rose in response.


    "No, big brother?! You really want to kill me?"


    "No! We had a deal! You''re not keeping your word, you beast... Ah!"


    With a sound, the coffin lid closed by itself.


    Then, fresh blood dripped to the ground.


    Zhou Tongting''s crying stopped; she seemed to have fainted from fright.


    Number 75 walked over, crouched down, and touched her, seemingly in a good mood.


    But at this moment, the coffin lid opened again.


    Number 75 immediately stood up, looking at the red light emanating from the coffin with terror on his face.


    The next second, all the villagers were no longer under his control and surged towards him.


    "What are you doing?! Get away!"


    "Master! Give me a little more time, I can definitely find them... No, no!"


    The living dead villagers didn''t stop, so Number 75 finally fought back, but it was too late.


    "Oh ho-" Seeing this scene, Shen Yue felt a bit of schadenfreude.


    But Kun Yao''s expression beside her became grave.


    Number 75 was lifted into the coffin by the villagers, no matter how much he struggled, it was useless.


    With a thud, he was thrown in.


    "We need to go," Kun Yao reminded.


    "Hm? Why leave? This guy is already dead," Fan Quguang was still watching.


    "He''s not dead."
