From the moment they accidentally stepped into this so-called underground casino’s hideout, Scarlett Jennings was certain that the person was deliberately hidden there.
After all, there were watchmen freely guarding the place, and an average person wouldn’t stumble in by mistake.
This was indeed an excellent place to hide someone.
However, if Layla Xalvadora had her features taken by the Face Changing Technique, based on Azura Loomis’s experience at the time, she would need to rely on nutritional injections every day to maintain her body’s various functions.
And in the initial stages, to ensure the stability of the soul’s form after the change, the person who had their face changed had to remain alive, so Scarlett Jennings speculated that there should be members of the Black Mist Organization among them.
Rather than searching one by one, it would be better to make him reveal himself.
Meanwhile, it would also recharge the system a bit.
So it wouldn’t keep complaining about being used and then abandoned...
After dragging the person out, finding others became obviously much smoother.
Very soon, Scarlett Jennings and her team found a concealed entrance to a basement following the direction pointed out by the person.
The system had just absorbed the energy of the Black Mist, feeling terrifyingly strong now, it rushed down to the basement as soon as the door opened, leading the way.
[Little ones, follow me.]
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Fortunately, Samuel Chalmers and Gregory Xander couldn’t hear the turtle’s voice.
She pretended like she hadn’t heard anything.
She dragged the little minion from the Black Mist Organization to the front.
Since it was a hideout, who knew if the Black Mist Organization had set up some kind of array traps inside, it was naturally better to let the scout lead the way.
To their surprise, the process of finding Layla Xalvadora was quite smooth. Almost as soon as they entered the basement, they saw the girl lying on a huge Yellow Banner on an old bed frame.
The girl lay there quietly, without facial features, it was hard to tell whether she was awake or asleep, but even if she were awake, she would probably neither see nor hear anything.
As Scarlett Jennings and her team approached, they saw the black runes painted on the Yellow Banner under her, presumably used to confine and sustain her life’s array.
It was not the first time Scarlett Jennings had seen someone whose features were taken by the Face Changing Technique, so she managed to stay calm.
However, Gregory Xander couldn’t help but curse angrily, "These people deserve to die!"
After saying that, he turned around and kicked the little minion hard in the leg.
The minion, who was originally just a low-level existence within the organization, was no different from a regular person after the Black Mist was extracted, and was instinctively yelping from Gregory Xander’s kick.
But even with such a commotion, the girl on the bed remained unaware, still lying there motionless.
"Let’s take her back first."
Scarlett Jennings said as she moved forward, studied the black runes carefully to make sure there weren’t any special traces of an Evil Technique, then quickly pulled out a blank Yellow Talisman and drew three Evil Breaking Talismans beside it in one breath.
She chanted a mantra and recited quickly,
"Heavenly Dao is clear, earthly Dao is peaceful, human Dao is tranquil, the trinity in one, universe unified, I command with Imperial Decree, break!"
With the final word of the decree, three Talismans flew swiftly to positions above the girl’s head, body, and feet, landing steadily.
In an instant, the Talismans ignited into black smoke.
As the three Talismans turned to ashes, the black runes on the Yellow Banner under the girl also dissolved as if met with water, and simultaneously, the vibrant yellow banner instantly lost its luster.
Yet, the person lying there remained motionless, so Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander decided to take her away from the place first.
Gregory Xander picked her up horizontally, and as they left the basement, they heard the distant sound of police sirens, followed by the commotion of a large wave of police bursting in to make arrests.
Scarlett Jennings planned to get her into the car first, but as they walked halfway, the night breeze blew unexpectedly, and the girl in Gregory Xander’s arms suddenly trembled, seemingly waking up.
Layla Xalvadora woke up.
