Why did you provoke me?

Nian Nian's complaints displeased Nangong, "When did I mention Yu Meng? I'm just stating the facts."

"Then your attitude is also problematic." Niannian still wouldn't let him off the hook.

"Alright, Uncle Nangong isn't an outsider, let's talk about what to do?" Yu Meng smiled and patted Niannian.

"Um, could we play the first scene again? I think that faceless guy said something that revealed his purpose." Secretary Wu looked at Yu Meng cautiously, afraid she would say no.

So Yu Meng played the first scene again.

Secretary Wu noticed the sentence that caught his attention. "Stop! It's this sentence, 'Then find the people who have been in there.' Do you think this is what they're going to do next?"

Nangong Tianshou repeated several times, "It really is? But what does it have to do with us? None of us have gone in."

"Sir, no one has gone in. Where did you get the things you have?" Secretary Wu reminded him helplessly.

"Huh? You mean this?" He twirled the thin ring on his finger. "Yu Meng gave it to you?"

Belatedly realizing what was happening, he looked at Yu Meng and asked, "You went in person?"

"I've been there, but this thing was given to me by someone else." Yu Meng wasn't lying.

"Will they be able to find this place? Will you be in danger?" Nangong Tianshou asked subconsciously.

Yu Meng looked at him strangely, "How would I know?"

"Oh, you need to know this! Check your body now to see if you have any marks or anything like that. They say those things are very evil."

These words were a wake-up call for Yu Meng. She didn't have it, but she really didn't know if Jing Yi and Liu Wei had it.

"No, sir, are you being a scaredy-cat? It's just a forest. Even if it's special, how could it leave a mark on someone? Do you think it's a spirit?!"

"Then tell me, if it's not a spirit, how could it run away?" Nangong Tianshou argued with Nian Nian like a child.

Secretary Wu had already stood up. "I'll go and call them over. Teacher Yu, you can take a look at them."

Niannian and Nangong both looked at Secretary Wu.

Nangong Tianshou, "Who are you calling? Jingchuan's?"

Niannian said, "Uncle Wu, use the communication bell. Do you still want to go find them in person?"

Secretary Wu slapped his forehead. "I was so flustered, I forgot about that."

Niannian and Nangong also quieted down.

After a while, Jingyi and Liu Wei arrived at the room.

As soon as Teacher Yu came out of quarantine, she looked for them. They were a little nervous, looked at each other, and communicated with their eyes: "You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

No, what about you? Have you been neglecting your duties at home?

No, I'm very careful.

Yu Meng didn't ask anything, but directly showed the lines and examined them carefully with her eyes.

She asked Nangong Tianshou, "Uncle Nangong, if there is such a mark, where is it most likely to be located? In the blood or in the brain?"

"It should be in the brain, I think it's at the mental level. I've only heard about it, I've never actually seen it."

Secretary Wu was very dissatisfied with Nangong Tianshou's answer. "You brought up the matter, and you only have a superficial understanding of it. I really want to ask you what you're thinking, but I don't dare. I can only complain silently in my heart."

Jingyi and Liu Wei became even more nervous listening to their conversation.

Liu Wei asked hesitantly, "Teacher Yu, how serious is the mark on our bodies?"

"Oh, it's just a positioning," Yu Meng said casually.

"Then why did he locate me?" Liu Wei's teeth were chattering.

Niannian laughed out loud, "Brother Liu, don't be afraid, we're all the same. If you're in trouble, then I, Fourth Sister, and Brother Xiao won't escape either."

Hearing this from the side, Jingyi's heart skipped a beat. They all have that? Then they must have something in common. What is it?

Lines? No, Xiao Wen didn't have any. The medicine he took? I think they all took it last time. What else?

Jingyi pondered in her mind what they had in common or what they had experienced, but it seemed like they were all a little lacking.

Upon hearing that they all had it, Liu Wei felt much relieved. "Then what is he doing positioning us?" Jingyi, who was standing nearby, also perked up her ears.

"Huh," Yu Meng said softly, but everyone's attention was on her, so they all looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"There really was something there; it was a blurry image that looked like a bent-over tree branch."

"Can it be wiped off?" Secretary Wu asked nervously.

"Give it a try, who knows?" Yu Meng's domineering lines emerged.

Under Yu Meng's precise positioning, the Overlord Lines hesitated and lay down in that spot.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, and the domineering lines still hadn't yielded anything.

Sweat was dripping from Liu Wei's forehead down to his chin, but he didn't wipe it away, afraid of disturbing Yu Meng.

In the end, Yu Meng shook her head, and Ba Wang returned to Yu Meng's shoulder.

Niannian tugged at Yu Meng's sleeve, "Fourth Sister, is it not okay?"

Looking at Niannian, Yu Meng had an idea. "Try using your straw."

"Huh? Me?"

"I will give you precise location information."

"Okay," she said, then looked at Liu Wei. "Brother Liu, don't be afraid. I know what I'm doing. I won't hurt you."

"Hehe, Niannian, I know your abilities. Don't worry, Brother Liu trusts you." Liu Wei chuckled sheepishly. But there was a barely perceptible hint of fear in his eyes.

After the straw went in, it took a long time for Niannian to speak. "Fourth Sister, this won't work. Little Gray can't find any energy fluctuations. I don't dare let Little Gray insert into my brain. If I mess around, Brother Liu will become an idiot."

Niannian's failure made the room eerily quiet.

Nangong Tianshou coughed lightly. "There's a saying you've all heard before?"

"What did you say?" That's what makes Niannian so good; she always gives people a way out when they say things she doesn't want to say.

If it were Yu Meng, she would just silently wait for you to continue, which can be really awkward sometimes.

But she can't learn to read and write like Niannian. That's just her personality, and she has no intention of changing it.

With Nian Nian's prompting, Nangong Tian Shou was able to smoothly deliver his next words.

"It's magic against magic!"

Niannian's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

Nangong Tianshou looked at Yu Meng and said, "I just heard it from a young man, but I can't explain the specifics."

Secretary Wu is about to slap him. This has happened twice already, every single day. It's unclear what he's saying. Who is he testing?

Yu Meng seemed lost in thought. Magic defeating magic, in other words, stone defeating stone, a contest of force against force. Going deeper, it's about using their own methods against them.

Yu Meng looked at the image in Liu Wei's mind. The branches were slightly bent—they were tree branches! But what about leaves? Bark? Trees? Fruit? Yu Meng had many ideas, but the reality was that she had none of them.

She looked at Jingyi. "Come here, let me see what shape your mark is."

Jingyi stepped forward silently. Yu Meng, familiar with the place, found the same mark there.

It's confirmed; anyone who has been into the dense forest will have this mark.
