After completing everything, David looked at her again and said, “Don’t forget, your father said you are the most beautiful butterfly.” As soon as David said these words, the woman in the red robe stood still in amazement. The blood-red color in her eyes began to gradually fade away, and the foul smell of decay and the ferocious aura of a corpse slowly disappeared. The woman in the red robe reached out her hand and touched the hairpin on her head. Instantly, a hint of happiness appeared on her face. It seemed that she remembered the scene when her father gave her this hairpin, and her hand trembled slightly.

“Let me see what you want to say, and I will help you,” David recalled the hunched figure who was about to speak earlier and said to her again. At the same time, he looked at the flames on the woman’s chest. Indeed, the flames were now covered by her normal consciousness and were very weak.

Upon hearing David’s words, the woman in the red robe raised her head slightly and looked at him, then nodded slowly as if understanding. The color of compassion reappeared in her eyes. Instantly! A series of flashing images appeared in David’s mind once again.

David gave Mandy the command to guard him, then closed his eyes and carefully examined these images. There were still the little girl, the man in a well-fitted shirt, and the butterfly hairpin taken out of a pocket. Soon, the scene with the hunched figure appeared again.

David focused his mind and concentrated all his attention. He wanted to know what the person hiding in the darkness had said. The little girl stared at the figure in fear and started crying, begging him to release her father. The hunched figure slightly opened his lips, and David strained to listen.

“I will turn your daughter into the most perfect corpse. As for you, you will become the nest for these spiders. You should thank me because I gave you a chance to survive in the apocalypse, hehehe…” The hunched figure laughed twice, then pulled out a huge decaying spider from the void and threw it into the man’s mouth. The man tried to resist, but no matter how he struggled, it was in vain. He could only watch in astonishment as the rotten spider crawled into his body through his mouth.

The little girl was terrified and bent down to the hunched figure, pushing the flame in her palm into her own body. Immediately, the little girl stopped crying and became dull.

“Come with me, and I will make you reborn,” The guy with the hunchback After speaking, the little girl obediently stood up and followed the hunched figure, leaving the place.

Seeing this, David slowly opened his eyes and suddenly understood everything. The hunched figure had turned the red-robed woman’s father into a decaying spider parasite and turned her into a corpse.

At the thought of this, David couldn’t help but curse inwardly. What kind of beast would harm their own kind like this? He looked up at the woman in the red robe again and saw that she was also looking at him. She softly said, “Help me seek revenge…”

David nodded, finally understanding. When he encountered the woman in the red robe earlier, she was constantly calling for revenge, not for herself, but hoping that he could help her seek revenge. However, under the control of that flame, she had no choice but to display an attacking state.

Thinking of this, David lowered his head and looked at the weakening flame on the woman’s chest. He furrowed his brows and decisively reached out his hand to extinguish it completely. In the moment the flame was extinguished, the woman in the red robe collapsed to the ground, her whole body limp.

David quickly reached out his hand to catch her, feeling her weakness, and gently placed her on the ground. At this moment, the woman in the red robe had completely dissipated her ferocious aura, and a faint blush appeared on her pale cheeks. She struggled to open her eyes and smiled at David. Then she lifted her hand, took off the butterfly hairpin from her hair, and held it in her palm, with a look of intoxication.

“Father, your butterfly has flown back to you…” After saying these words, the woman’s smile remained forever on her face. At this moment, David was deeply moved as he looked at her. In this cruel apocalypse, every survivor would do anything to survive, but in the woman in the red robe, he saw the brightest aspects of humanity and felt the warmth of a long-lost loved one.

David slowly stood up, silently noting the hunched figure in the darkness. “Butterfly, I will help you and your father seek revenge,” David said as he looked at her lifeless body.

At the same time, the voice of the system rang in David’s ears.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the psychic ability – Mind Invasion!

Listening to the voice of the system, David silently nodded. He knew this was the gift the butterfly had given him. And at this moment, the body of the butterfly began to emit a dissipating mist of fragmented blood, gradually disappearing in the air, and the bloody space slowly receded.

Seeing David walking out unharmed, Charles and Sophie finally let go of their worries. Little Black also approached, wagging its tail around David.

“Captain, are you alright?” Charles walked up and asked.

David shook his head and then looked at Sally and the others. At this moment, the three of them had finally freed themselves from the control of the butterfly’s consciousness and regained their senses. They quickly gathered around and asked what had happened in the bloody space. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒆𝒕

David just smiled faintly and then looked at a drop of blood mist in the sky, whispering, “Butterfly… has flown back to that field.”

The others were puzzled by David’s inexplicable words. However, seeing the crisis resolved before their eyes, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the members of the Embers squad were preparing to get in the car and leave, a voice suddenly came from the distance, “Brother, where is that monster? I’ll help you deal with her!”

Listening to this familiar voice, David smiled and turned around to see Duane rushing over like a gust of wind, holding the machete in his left hand and the treasure chest in his right. When he arrived in front of David, he looked around but couldn’t find any trace of the monster. He asked in confusion, “Where’s the monster?”

David spread his hands and said, “It’s been taken care of.” Hearing that David had already dealt with the monster, Duane also breathed a sigh of relief.

“As long as it’s taken care of. But I came all the way here to help you, although I didn’t do much, but you owe me a favor for this. Remember to repay me,” Duane said, glancing at David. He noticed that David was staring meaningfully at the treasure chest in his hand. This instantly reminded him of the incident where David “stole” his scarecrow. So he quickly stuffed the treasure chest into his embrace and said, “Are you trying to get your hands on my precious again? Not this time!”
