Chapter 101 The Emotions of the Six Domestic Animals
After having this guess, Chen Miao was both relieved that what he had encountered might not be a malevolent spirit, and also felt wary of the person hiding behind the ghostly figure.

People know that ghosts are scary, and ghosts know that people’s hearts are poisonous.

This is not just talking.

But why did he chase after Xiang Shang and Gigi Lai all the way to Tianmen County just to kill them?
Chen Miao frowned, unable to figure out the reason.

He then turned his attention to the new miscellaneous skill he had acquired.

"The Curse of the Six Domestic Animals Doll" is a method for making a special item.

The so-called "six domestic animals" do not refer to six livestock, but rather to the six emotions derived from the six personality traits that appear in humans.

The six domestic animals are: deceitful, jealous, cunning, resentful, greedy, and avarice.

【谲 (jué) 伪】 refers to those who are good at pretending and are two-faced. These people greet you with a smile and praise you, but then turn around and maliciously slander and speak ill of you.

【Jealousy and resentment】refers to those who are habitually jealous and cannot bear to see others succeed. These people harbor envy when faced with the success of others and are unwilling to acknowledge the merits of others. No matter how outstanding others are, they can always find excuses to belittle them.

【刁滑】 refers to those who are lazy and like to shirk responsibility. When faced with problems, they always habitually avoid them, try to find excuses to avoid their own problems, and shift the blame onto others.

【怨戾】 refers to those who like to complain and blame others. These people always put themselves in the role of victims, complaining all day about the various unpleasant things they encounter in life and work, passing on their negative emotions to others, but never reflecting on their own problems.

【贪忮 (zhì)】 refers to those who are ungrateful and take advantage of others. No matter how much others do for them, these people always feel that it is their due. Not only are they not grateful, but they also demand more after receiving help.

【婪悖 (bèi)】 refers to selfish and unscrupulous people who only care about satisfying their own interests and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, harming the interests of others.

The emotions that arise from people with these personality traits are called "six domestic animals emotions".

The Six Domestic Animals Doll is a container used to collect the emotions of the six domestic animals.

The Six Domestic Animals Doll will be activated when it encounters someone who owns one of the Six Domestic Animals, and will then release the emotions of the Six Domestic Animals Doll that are hidden within it.

People influenced by the emotions of the six domestic animals will have their own emotions amplified, leading them to make irrational decisions. Eventually, the emotions of the six domestic animals within these people will grow stronger and return to the six domestic animal doll.

However, there is a special case: those who own all six kinds of livestock!
These people will not be directly affected after encountering the "six domestic animals doll".

They will absorb these animalistic emotions, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, this person will not suffer any consequences beyond becoming even more wicked.

Of course, the people who make the six domestic animals dolls will not let such people go unpunished; in fact, they make the dolls specifically to find such people!
The information about the "Six Domestic Animals Doll" states that people who own these six domestic animals are a special existence. As for how special they are, and what makes them special...

The "Curse of the Dao: Six Domestic Animals Dolls" does not describe them, because the Six Domestic Animals Dolls are only one part of a spell called "Curse of the Dao: Six Domestic Animals".

The original emotions of the six domestic animals in the six domestic animal dolls were inserted by someone who possessed the "Curse of the Six Domestic Animals" technique.

Perhaps after Chen Miao resolves the issues mentioned in the epilogue, he can obtain some relevant information from the completion rewards.

Putting away the book, Chen Miao sat in the corridor outside the ward, lost in thought.

"Xiang Shang and his group did not exhibit the six animalistic emotions in the secret room. Instead, they took a nap and the emotions gradually appeared the next day."

"So they are not the first group to be affected."

"But it's impossible for all seven people to be special individuals who own all six kinds of livestock, right?"

“I am not familiar with others, but it is absolutely impossible for Xiang Shang to have all six kinds of livestock at the same time.”

"In fact, none of the six domestic animals have anything to do with Xiang Shang!"

Why does this happen?

"Could it be that the content of 'The Cursed Path: The Six Livestock Dolls' given in the book is wrong?"

"Not too possible."

"So what exactly is causing this situation?"

Chen Miao frowned, recalling what Xiang Shang had told him. Soon, Chen Miao thought of someone, someone he had overlooked from the very beginning.

“On Sunday, Xiang Shang and the other six went to the secret room, but on Monday, one person was missing.”

"That person has never appeared since we parted ways on the day we escaped from the locked room."

"Where did he go?" Chen Miao got up and walked into the ward.

As soon as they entered, they saw Gigi Lai leaning against Xiang Shang, who was holding her with a happy expression.

Upon seeing Chen Miao, a stranger, enter, Li Zi suddenly woke up and quickly moved away from Xiang Shang's embrace.

Xiang Shang chuckled twice and then explained, "Li Zi, this is the good friend I told you about, Sanshui, Chen Miao."

"Sanshui, everything's alright here. You should go back now; you still have a lot to deal with back there."

"Why did this guy have to come in at such an inopportune time!"

Chen Miao's face darkened. He completely ignored Xiang Shang and looked at Li Zi, saying, "I heard about your situation from Xiang Shang. Can you tell me what happened on Monday?"

Seeing Chen Miao ask this question, Li Zi looked at Xiang Shang with some confusion.

Xiang Shang then remembered how Gigi Lai had woken up, and his heart tightened; he immediately became serious.

"Gigi Lai, what exactly happened that day? Why did they start fighting?"

When Gigi Lai saw that Xiang Shang also asked the same question, she recalled it.

After Gigi Lai finished explaining, Xiang Shang frowned.

"I feel like something's off about them. They're all seasoned professionals, and even if they were going to cause trouble, they wouldn't go that far. This is clearly a case of them wanting to quit their jobs."

“I also feel that something is wrong. I feel that everyone’s emotions have become very sensitive and easily agitated. Sun Yi was the same on Sunday.”

Hearing this, Chen Miao interrupted.

"Was it Sun Yi who didn't go to work on Monday?"

Gigi Lai nodded.

"Yes, I heard that she called the manager to resign, but the manager did not agree. However, she ignored the manager and did not come to work on Monday."

Chen Miao then asked, "Did Sun Yi behave normally in the escape room on Sunday?"

"That's perfectly normal..."

After Gigi Lai finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the scene at the end, so she spoke of it as well.

Chen Miao accurately grasped a key word.

You mean she went out and grabbed a doll?

"Yes, at the time we thought they were props for the escape room, but later we found out they were tokens for the bonus level, which could be exchanged for a cash prize after we came out."

Chen Miao seems to have grasped some key points.

"When you woke up just now, you said you dreamed about Sun Yi?"

Gigi Lai shuddered, nodded, and seemed unwilling to recall that scene.

Chen Miao didn't dwell on it and continued, "Do you know Sun Yi's address?"

Seeing that Gigi Lai shook her head, Chen Miao got up and went out, took out his phone and dialed the number on Qi Ning's business card.

After informing Sun Yi of the situation, Chen Miao inquired again about the subsequent actions of the Qining Administration Bureau, only to receive an answer that made his heart sink.

The staff at the Shannan City branch of the Administration Bureau are currently unable to focus their efforts on this matter due to some confidential information. However, the relevant investigation and analysis are underway, and a solution will be reached soon. They asked Chen Miao to wait a little longer.

Chen Miao suddenly asked a question.

"how long it takes?"

"At least three days."
