The next day, at the gate of the horror community.

Liu Jinan and his group met Zhao Simo's army here.

Zhao Simo saw Duan Haiping protecting the boy tightly and couldn't help laughing: "Are you so worried? Mr. Duan, if there is not enough trust between two people, it won't last long."

Duan Haiping didn't take his words to heart: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Zhao Simo still maintained a decent smile: "I'm just putting forward my point of view."

"Mr. Zhao, let's get started now." Liu Jinan interrupted the tit-for-tat conversation between the two. "If we get the spiritual treasure sooner, we can leave here sooner, right?"

Zhao Simo didn't say anything, but the soldiers under his command nodded repeatedly.

They didn't sleep well last night. Those monsters only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong. They didn't dare to look for Liu Jinan and the others, nor did they dare to provoke Zhao Simo, so they just caught them and threatened them.

Although the people Zhao Simo brought were all elite soldiers picked from hundreds, they would not be frightened by the weirdness.

But they really don’t want to experience the feeling of not being able to sleep the whole night and having nightmares once they fall asleep a second time!

"Alright," Zhao Simo felt the resentful gazes of his subordinates and coughed awkwardly, "Bring the Gu family up."

The soldiers immediately escorted the Gu family to Liu Jinan.

Zhao Simo had prepared in advance the knife for bleeding, the bucket for collecting blood, and the brush for smearing the iron door.

This made Liu Jinan feel more and more that Zhao Simo probably knew something in advance.

"Cut the wrists and let the blood." Zhao Simo gave an order, and six soldiers pressed the arms of the four brothers of the Gu family, Gu Chengye, and Jiang Shulan to the edge of the bucket, holding daggers in their hands and preparing to bleed them.

Hu Deyi laughed out loud: "This is not much different from me killing a pig!"

When they heard about slaughtering pigs, Gu Chengye and Jiang Shulan's faces turned pale. Gu Hongwu even cursed Liu Jinan as a beast who even wanted to shear the blood of his own parents!

"Zhao Simo, young people have strong blood, so Gu Hongwu can donate more blood. As for Gu Chengye and Jiang Shulan, forget about them." Liu Jinan took into account that these two people were ordinary people and were not young anymore, so he simply used the four brothers of the Gu family.

"Okay." Zhao Simo agreed to Liu Jinan's request and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to take Gu's father and mother back.

Gu Chengye thought Liu Jinan was being soft-hearted, and immediately cursed him: "You rebellious son, you actually watched your brothers being bled, do you have any humanity left?"

Liu Jinan raised one eyebrow. He wanted to let the old guy go with good intentions, but he didn't expect that the old guy actually dared to teach him a lesson?

Where did the confidence come from?

"Since Gu Chengye wants to be bled, then take him along." Liu Jinan didn't indulge him at all. "Do you really think you are a nobody?"

Gu Chengye was taken back again, and his arm was slammed hard on the edge of the bucket by the soldiers, causing him to scream in pain.

Jiang Shulan showed reluctance: "An An, can you..."

"Ms. Jiang, do you also want to try bloodletting?" Liu Jinan asked back with a cold face.

Jiang Shulan's face turned pale, and she stammered, "He is your father after all..."

"What bullshit are you talking about!" Zhang Wen Qian immediately retorted, "You only care about giving birth to a child but not raising him. You haven't even fed An An a bucket of rice, and you dare to ask for your kindness in raising him? Do you still have any shame? If it were me, I would say that you should bleed so that people can see whether this blood is red or black!"

Jiang Shulan couldn't utter a word in rebuttal and could only cover her face and cry.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about making up to Liu Jinan, but every time she thought of it, a greater fear would suppress her thoughts.

She was afraid that her stable life would change. She didn't know how to improve the relationship between An An and other members of the Gu family. She was worried that even if she made a lot of efforts, she would not be able to repair the relationship between Liu Jinan and the Gu family, and would end up being unpopular on both sides.

So just don't take any action and wait and see.

She thought that doing this would make her feel better.

But the result was to push Liu Jinan further and further away.

Yeah, she didn't seem to do anything.

But she is not innocent. Isn't her indifference and inaction another kind of brutality that hurts Liu Jinan?

"An An, I'm sorry." At this point, Jiang Shulan no longer dared to hope for Liu Jinan's forgiveness.

She placed her wrist on the edge of the bucket: "If my blood can make up for the harm I have caused you, even a little bit, I will be satisfied."

I am sorry.

Liu Jinan's eyes flickered slightly. Although he no longer had any expectations for anyone in the Gu family, he still felt a little sad when he heard these three words.

Jiang Shulan was the first and only member of the Gu family to apologize to him.

"No need, Ms. Jiang, I don't need you to make it up to me." Liu Jinan said calmly, "You don't owe me anything."

You really don’t owe it?

Jiang Shulan sat on the ground in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

It seemed like she didn't even have a chance to make amends.

Liu Jinan withdrew his gaze and nodded to Zhao Simo.

The bloodletting begins.

At first, Gu Chengye was still struggling and cursing, but later, as his blood quickly drained away, he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Hu Jianye taunted, "Old Gu, if I were you, I would save my energy. Look at your unlucky sons, they are smarter than you, and they are all like saw-mouthed gourds, keeping silent."

Gu Chengye could only stare at him.

Liu Jinan glanced at the blood in the bucket and estimated that there was about one liter of blood, so he asked the soldiers to stop bleeding and send the Gu family back to Gu Letian.

Gu Letian would naturally use his supernatural powers to treat them. It was the end of the world and medical supplies such as gauze were very expensive. It would be a waste to use them on them!

Zhao Simo walked to Liu Jinan and met Duan Haiping's wary gaze.

"Get out of the way," Zhao Simo rolled his eyes, "I want to teach Xiao An An how to activate the spiritual treasure test."

Duan Haiping had no choice but to give in and just warned him: "Don't let me find out what tricks you are playing."

Zhao Simo sneered and ignored him, just stretched out his hand and motioned Liu Jinan to put his hand on his.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jinan asked warily.

"Drawing the mark," Zhao Simo explained, "Originally, this mark can only be obtained by maintaining a horror value below 100 in the horror community for a month."

So how did you get it?

Liu Jinan opened his mouth but ultimately did not ask the question.

He could sense that Zhao Simo had no fewer secrets than he did.

If you don't ask, they will still be partners.

If he asked, their cooperation would be mixed with other things - he didn't intend to have too in-depth contact with Zhao Simo, so he chose to remain silent.

Zhao Simo smiled bitterly in his heart, but remained calm as he drew the terrifying mark on Liu Jinan's palm.

"Press it on the iron gate, and it will trigger the test of the spiritual treasure. Then we will smear the iron gate with blood together, and the spiritual treasure will recognize you as its master." Zhao Simo said.
