In the basement, Bai Qiyun lit up the element lamp he carried with him, illuminating the dark underground.

The dim yellow light fell equally on every corner, showing everything in the basement to everyone.

"Well, that's..."

When he saw the half-snake, half-human being, Paimon covered his mouth in surprise and quickly flew behind Ying.

However, because of the precedent of the human-faced dog, the little guy didn't act too nervous this time.

The man-snake in front of him had his hands locked with iron chains and lost the ability to move.

Her body was covered with scars, some of which were caused by friction with the ground, but most of them were wounds caused by some kind of sharp blade.

It seems that someone tortured this human snake here.

"Ah...ah..."

Feeling the approach of someone, the snake opened its degraded mouth and made meaningless noises.

From her tortured and deformed face, Bai Qiyun could vaguely recognize her former charm.

Before this woman was transformed, she must have been a mature and beautiful woman, but now her eyes were dull and she seemed to have lost the ability to see. She could only rely on her beast-like hearing to judge whether anyone was approaching.

"ah..."

Bai Qiyun stretched out his hands, and the aqua blue elemental power formed a stream of water on his fingertips and wrapped around the woman's body. The wounds that originally looked scary began to heal slowly.

But this is all he can do. The transformed woman has lost her human language ability. He cannot physically transform her back. That is not what he can do.

Under the treatment of the young man, the woman's excited expression gradually calmed down, and she began to cry "Ahhh", but no one could understand what she meant.

But facing this situation, Bai Qiyun had another trick.

In the future, while chatting with Zhenjun Liuyun, he once asked for some simple magic techniques, including 'soul summoning'.

A woman is born a human being, so her soul should not have changed along with her body, and she should also have the ability to speak as a human being.

Bai Qiyun thought of this, took out a few talismans, pasted them here and there in the narrow space of the basement, and arranged a simple formation.

In addition, the formation also needs something related to the Immortal Family as the formation eye.

When he mentioned this, Bai Qiyun directly took out the Bai Wu Tao Lu and threw it into the center of the formation.

This thing is very useful.

"Relax and don't resist."

Although soul summoning is not a difficult magical skill, Bai Qiyun is only a dabbler after all, and he must succeed when the target of the spell has no resistance.

Not sure if she understood what he meant, the woman who had been twisting her body suddenly stopped and stopped making any sound.

She closed her eyes silently, waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

Bai Qiyun held the flying star, and the power of the star continued to emerge from the tip of the spear, lighting up the talismans one after another around him, turning into a complete formation.

Silvery white light filled the entire space at this moment, causing Paimon to exclaim repeatedly.

Bai Qiyun frowned, placed his palm on the woman's head, and shouted softly.

"Come!"

The next second, the formation suddenly burst out with a burst of bright light, and the woman's body suddenly fell down.

In contrast, a transparent body was revealed behind her fallen body, and her face was clearly that of a woman before she had undergone transformation.

Unlike her half-human, half-snake body, she has regained her qualifications as a human being at this time, although it is only in the state of soul.

She looked at her hands silently and suddenly covered her face, followed by a burst of tears.

Bai Qiyun knew that she was emotionally unstable at this time, so he didn't say anything. He just looked at her silently until she calmed down again.

The mature woman wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed to Bai Qiyun.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor."

"No, it's easy, but you should know that this state won't last forever, so you might as well tell everything you know."

Bai Qiyun didn't feel that he had really helped the other party and had no basis for being able to accept gratitude.

After the formation is lifted, the woman will still change back to her original form.

"That's natural."

The mature woman nodded repeatedly, recalling what happened that day, her body trembled unconsciously.

"It was half a month ago. A group of masked men in black suddenly broke into our house. They seemed to be very familiar with our house. They directly knocked down all the guards of Torrio's house and killed my family.

My husband, the head of the Torrio family, also kidnapped my children, and during the fight, I saw that their bodies... were not human."

"Like you did before?"

Hearing this, the mature woman's body trembled, but she still nodded.

"Yes, looking back now, they should also have been transformed, but I am not as lucky as them. My body could not withstand such pressure, and I lost most of my human abilities."

After all, she couldn't even speak before.

Bai Qiyun nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Do you have any guesses about the identities of those people?"

"No, but I know who the person who transformed me is. He is a member of the branch of the Torrio family, but because he did not have the right to inherit the family, he went to Philomas when he became an adult. I didn't expect that he would do it.

Something like this happens."

"Philomas..."

Bai Qiyun, Ying and the others looked at each other, and they all had guesses in their hearts.

The clues pointed to Philomas again, and it seemed that he really had to go.

"I see, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Seeing that the woman's body was vaguely unstable, Bai Qiyun quickly asked.

"Something to note... By the way, he seemed to have received some notification before escaping from Torrio's house. But at that time, I had not fully recovered my consciousness. I only heard words such as 'epidemic' and 'Liyue'. No,

Know what happened."

Being able to allow the other party to escape here means that the mastermind behind Philomas must have learned about the fact that several people came from Kandar.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking about it now, it was indeed a mistake for Ying to let that person go in order not to alarm him.

But don’t worry about that kind of gangster, catching the real murderer behind it is the most important thing.

The woman's body began to become illusory as the formation flickered, and the soul summoning technique was on the verge of ending.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun asked casually.

"Woman, have you seen this thing?"

Bai Qiyun took out the golden seal that fell from the human-faced dog.

Who knew that the mature woman who was very calm just now became excited again when she saw this object.

"Where did you find it!"

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun had a regrettable guess deep in his heart, so he could only tell the truth.

"This thing... I found it from a boy who was transformed. He has passed away."

Upon hearing this, the mature woman felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face turned ashen.

"Son...my son."

Her husband was assassinated, her son was captured and reformed to death, and she herself became a half-human, half-snake monster.

For a moment, the woman lost all hope.

She raised her eyes again, her eyes lifeless, and murmured.

"My benefactor, can I ask you one last favor?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"Please send me away."

When Paimon heard this, he was about to scream, but Ying covered his mouth in time.

Bai Qiyun looked at the woman's face full of determination, couldn't help but sigh, and said softly.

"good."

————

Half an hour later, several people walked out of the courtyard of Torrio's house. Three stone tablets were erected on the originally messy ground, but no names were engraved on them.

The breeze blew by, and the remaining green grass around them swayed in the early spring wind, as if they were seeing someone off.

Bai Qiyun looked at the three tombs without corpses and had mixed feelings in his heart.
