The Immortal Maid suddenly turned pale with agony and pressed her hands tightly against her throat. Mufeng and I instantly sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to check on her. Mufeng extended a hand, channeling a stream of divine power into the Immortal Maid's body to probe her condition. A moment later, Mufeng frowned and said, "No wonder she couldn't name the mastermind. She has been infected with a poison-bug that prevents her from speaking the truth."
My heart sank, as I had not expected the person behind this to be so cunning. "What are we to do? Is there truly no way to lift this poison-bug?" I asked anxiously.
Mufeng shook his head. "This poison-bug is extremely insidious and difficult to remove in a short time. However, we can approach this from other angles and continue our investigation."
