My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

"There's something wrong with this doll."

Ye Zimo, Lin Mo, and Xiao Ju all spoke in unison.

Because of Xiaoju's personality, she knows exactly where everything is, and she didn't mention sewing the doll to Ye Zimo when she came back. Most importantly, this doll pulled Lin Mo and Ye Zimo into Xiaoju's dream!

All of this is eerie. To find out what happened, we must first find this stitched-together doll.

The three of them went to Xiaoju's room. The room was tidy and spotless. The sewn doll, along with other toys, was placed on the most conspicuous bedside table.

But Xiaoju completely ignored it. If Lin Mo hadn't been so focused, he would have subconsciously overlooked it even while searching for it.

Lin Mo picked up the palm-sized sewn doll.

Upon closer inspection, it was almost identical to the one in my dream, except that the girl in my dream felt like a real human being, while this sewn-up doll looked like it was made of rags.

"Inactive".

Ye Zimo said calmly.

"Then what is this thing?"

Lin Mo frowned. How could a sewn-up doll have such an effect on Xiao Ju?

“An object is like a redemptive rose; it has no life, but it possesses magical power.”

"Then what is its power?"

Lin Mo was somewhat curious.

Ye Zimo glanced at the doll and said, "It should be forcibly dragging people into the host's dream. Its influence on Xiaoju is still small, and it cannot actually kill people in the dream. But as time goes by, it can create dreams that actually kill people."

Lin Mo recalled the scene in his dream. If the stitched doll really tore people apart, and it wasn't just a simple illusion, but caused real harm, the consequences would be unimaginable.

That would be more than just scary; it would be a genuine act of terror.

"This doll doesn't seem to possess any power, so what power did it use to drag so many people into the dream?"

Lin Mo asked curiously.

Ye Zimo's gaze fell on Xiao Ju, and Lin Mo and Xiao Ju swallowed at the same time.

"But I don't have superpowers."

Xiaoju said earnestly.

Ye Zimo nodded slightly: "Although you don't have any superpowers, you are a normal person. As long as you are a person, you have spiritual power. The Tianhe Curse Website's demonization was also due to the transformation of Chen Tie's powerful spiritual power after his death. After that, it gradually absorbed the power of other people's faith to become stronger."

"So this doll is absorbing my spiritual energy?"

Xiaoju looked at Ye Zimo in surprise, and Ye Zimo nodded.

"At first you will just be sleepy, but later you may not be able to wake up at all, because that's how it can rely on you to achieve its growth goals."

Ye Zimo analyzed based on her experience, and Xiao Ju couldn't help but shudder.

"Young Miss, what should we do? Is it too late to throw this doll away now?"

Xiaoju felt that she could still be saved.

Ye Zimo turned to look at Lin Mo: "I need to rely on your strength."

"I?"

Lin Mo tried, but couldn't extract any energy from the sewn-up doll.

Ye Zimo shook her head: "That's not what I meant. It's the power of your wizard."

"The power of a wizard?"

Lin Mo immediately pictured himself performing a shamanistic ritual around Xiao Ju, but quickly dismissed the thought and became serious.

After all, this matter not only concerns Xiaoju's safety, but also the safety of everyone around her.

If this stitched doll continues to control Xiaoju's mental power and uses Xiaoju's dreams to do whatever it wants, even a powerful vampire like Ye Zimo will be forcibly dragged into the dream, causing irreparable damage.

This needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Lin Mo asked seriously, "What do you need me to do?"

"Although this stitched doll has no power of its own, it was definitely made by a wizard, and only witchcraft can restrain its power."

"seal?"

Lin Mo suddenly thought of the Great Sealing Technique in the Encyclopedia of Witchcraft.

Ye Zimo nodded: "That's right. Before we know how to control its power, the safest way is to seal it."

Lin Mo took out the Complete Book of Witchcraft. There was no need to learn sealing techniques; all that was needed was to possess powerful strength and recite the incantation.

Lin Mo liked this technique the most because the Redemption Rose within him would provide a continuous source of power. Although it was all about absorbing other people's energy, it could always be transformed into his own strength at crucial moments.

Lin Mo chanted a sealing spell, and as the incantation floated out, invisible threads wrapped around the stitched doll, making the doll's body seem to shrink.

After the seal was created, a "seal" character appeared on the head of the sewn-up doll.

Lin Mo knew that as long as he erased this word, the seal would be broken.

Ye Zimo took the sealed sewn-up doll and said, "This doesn't seem like something someone like Chen Tie should have."

Chapter 171 A Special Mental Hospital

Lin Mo nodded slightly, thinking that Ye Zimo made sense. If this doll was made by a wizard, how could it be among Chen Tie's belongings?

"There's something wrong with that mental hospital."

Lin Mo finally realized the problem he had overlooked in the Tianhe Curse incident.

So who inspired Chen Tie to create the website? Not everyone who creates a website can create such imaginative monsters. Who gave Chen Tie this power?

This mental hospital resolved Lin Mo's doubts.

"Xiaoju, do you still remember the hospital's address?"

Ye Zimo asked.

Xiaoju thought about it carefully: "I remember."

"Send me the address, I'll go to this hospital."

Ye Zimo said calmly.

"Young Miss, I'll go with you."

Xiaoju blinked her big, bright eyes at Ye Zimo, who shook her head: "This hospital feels very familiar to me, I can go by myself."

"I'll accompany you."

Lin Mo suddenly spoke up, and Ye Zimo glanced at him indifferently without refusing.

Xiaoju lowered her head in disappointment. Although she had always known that the young lady was a vampire and that there was a fundamental difference between her and herself, now even Lin Mo, who was also human, was leaving her far behind, making her feel that her role in the young lady was becoming less and less important.

Furthermore, because of her mistake, Miss and Lin Mo were almost hurt, and Xiaoju felt extremely guilty and remorseful.

As a human observer, Lin Mo noticed Xiao Ju's emotions.

"Xiaoju, come along too."

Lin Mo's voice instantly dispelled Xiao Ju's negative emotions. She raised her head and said earnestly, "I still remember the nurse who gave me this sewn doll. I can definitely help my benefactor and Miss."

Ye Zimo's face remained expressionless, her gaze fixed on Lin Mo.

"There might be danger."

Lin Mo nodded: "I will take responsibility for protecting Xiao Ju."

Xiaoju bit her lip and clenched her fists, realizing that she had indeed become a burden.

Lin Mo sighed inwardly. He had originally wanted to spend time alone with the vampire, but he also had to consider the child's feelings. It was a real dilemma.

He patted her head: "Let's go."

……

Beishan Mental Hospital.

Although this was Lin Mo's first time here, he had observed the scene before through Xiao Ju's memories, so he was not entirely unfamiliar with the place.

Sunlight streamed onto the glass of the detached building of the mental hospital, reflecting a blinding light. At that moment, it seemed that a person in a white coat was standing upstairs, observing the group through the glass window.

Lin Mo observed carefully but did not see the person behind the glass. It seemed that it was just a hallucination, but he clearly had a very uncomfortable feeling.

It felt like the whole building had an aura that didn't belong to this world, a twisted aura.

Lin Mo's steps even seemed to instinctively resist moving forward.

This is different from his ability to see Xiaoju's memories through the retrospection talisman; it is a tangible, instinctive rejection.

"Do we really want to go in?"

Lin Mo spoke hesitantly.

Ye Zimo didn't speak. She glanced up at the six large characters "Beishan Mental Hospital" hanging above the building entrance, frowned slightly, and walked in gracefully in her white sneakers.

Lin Mo could only follow and enter. He felt as if his body had passed through some invisible barrier, like a ripple in the air.

Something's definitely not right here... Lin Mo's thoughts raced, and he turned to Xiao Ju to ask:

"Do you have any particular feelings?"

Xiaoju shook her head: "No."

Lin Mo looked at Ye Zimo again, and Ye Zimo shook her head.

Am I the only one with this feeling? Is it a wizard's intuition? Could there be some great demon here?

The vampire just said she was very familiar with this hospital. Could it be that she has been here before?

In an instant, a multitude of questions sprang up like mushrooms after rain, crowding into Lin Mo's mind, and he tried his best to calm himself down.

From the moment he stepped into the hospital, his mind seemed to be affected by some kind of confusion.

Lin Mo's nose twitched slightly as he smelled the complex scent mixed in the air, a scent that almost instantly made his sense of smell fail him.

"How could this be?"

Lin Mo covered his nose; the smell was clearly more than just the smell of medicine.
