Chapter 349 Dark Purple Food

"This likely involves elements of manipulation or mind control. Both of these could lead to this effect, and I cannot determine which one it is at the moment."

Then, Ling Ye frowned, stared at Lin Xiyue, and said with a solemn expression.

"Shall we go and look at the others first?"

Lin Xiyue thought for a moment, then made the suggestion.

"Hmm, wait a minute, I seem to remember bringing something with me that can prevent bewitching and mind control. Let me look for it."

Ling Ye suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said to Lin Xiyue.

As Lingye spoke, she quickly lowered her head and began rummaging through a small pouch at her waist.

Although this waist bag doesn't look big, it is actually a small spatial device, just like the one that Moros gave to Lin Xiyue, only relatively smaller.

However, this pouch was sufficient for Ling Ye; it could hold some of his daily necessities and equipment. The candy and food he had given Guai Guai before were also taken from this pouch, though not in large quantities.

Lingye rummaged in his waist pouch for a while and finally found what he was looking for. He carefully took it out; it turned out to be a pair of flashy glasses.

"To be honest, if it weren't for its unique and very useful functions, I would never have worn such a flashy pair of glasses."

Lingye muttered to herself as she carefully took out the glasses and gently put them on her face.

These glasses are really eye-catching; their overall shape resembles a lifelike frog.

Its lenses are the kind of exaggerated sunglasses that kids love, only even more exaggerated than those.

Around the sunglasses is a wide emerald green rim, inlaid with two cute, round frog eyes, as if the frog is staring at you.

Moreover, the wide edge is inlaid with colorful crystals of various colors and shapes, some like stars, some like flowers, and some like little hearts, which is simply dazzling.

What's even more interesting is that there are frog legs on both sides of the glasses. They are fixed to the sides with springs, so as long as you move slightly, the two frog legs will keep moving up and down, just like a real frog jumping.

What's most unexpected is the pretty pink bow at the connection point of the glasses. This bow cleverly connects the two lenses of the sunglasses, not only increasing the cuteness of the glasses but also making the whole pair look more delicate and unique.

It's no exaggeration to say that these sunglasses, as a whole, seem tailor-made for children, full of childlike fun and cuteness.

However, these adorable sunglasses were worn on the face of Ling Ye, a rugged and burly man, creating an extremely comical contrast.

"puff--"

When Lin Xiyue saw Ling Ye's appearance, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and suddenly it burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

"Go ahead and laugh. I'm used to it. I get laughed at every time I bring this."

Seeing this, Ling Ye shook his head helplessly and said to Lin Xiyue with a wry smile.

His tone revealed a sense of resignation, as if he had become accustomed to such scenes.

Upon hearing Ling Ye's words, Lin Xiyue no longer held back and burst into laughter.

Her laughter was clear and melodious, echoing in the air like silver bells, making people feel happy as well.

[Hehehe, this is what people often call the cuteness of a contrast! (〃'▽'〃)]

Even the system was infected by the joyful atmosphere and couldn't help but let out a cheerful laugh.

"Alright, alright, you've had your laugh. Let me take a look at the food on the table."

Ling Ye helplessly pointed behind Lin Xiyue, signaling her to shift her attention to the important matter at hand.

"Good, good, good, hahaha—"

Lin Xiyue let out a series of silvery laughs as she quickly stepped aside.

Where Lin Xiyue had previously blocked the view, a table of steaming, fragrant food was now laid out. The dishes looked delicious and looked incredibly appetizing.

"Be careful not to see it, I'll go check."

Ling Ye said to Lin Xiyue.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and walked towards the table of food.

"Okay okay."

Lin Xiyue nodded in agreement.

She quickly took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from the food on the table, while keeping her eyes fixed on Ling Ye's every move, afraid that he might be accidentally controlled or something unexpected might happen to him.

Although the prop seemed to be effective, Lin Xiyue was still somewhat uneasy because she was facing danger.

Therefore, she dared not relax at all, and always maintained a high level of vigilance, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time.

Lingye slowly walked to the table, just inches away from the tempting food.

However, at this moment, his eyes seemed to be under a spell, and the food on the table looked completely different to him.

In his eyes, what should have been a delicious and visually appealing meal had now turned into a pile of horrifying things.

What he saw was no longer the delicious dishes like sweet and sour pork ribs and braised pork that Lin Xiyue had described, but rather stacks of monster remains placed on plates.

The severed limbs writhed incessantly in the plate, as if they were still alive. Even more terrifying, a purplish-black liquid continuously oozed from these limbs, flowing down and accumulating in a thin layer at the bottom of the plate, inexplicably bubbling eerily.

Ling Ye stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief. His heart raced and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"Wow!"

Lingye suddenly screamed in surprise, staring at the thing in front of her with a look of astonishment.

His voice was filled with disbelief and fear, which was quite startling.

Ling Ye involuntarily took a step back, as if wanting to get further away from these things. His body trembled slightly, clearly quite frightened.

Although Lin Xiyue couldn't see, her keen hearing caught Ling Ye's exclamation, and a strong sense of curiosity welled up in her heart.

"What's wrong? What did you see?! Tell me!"

She asked eagerly.

Lin Xiyue's voice revealed a hint of anxiety and unease; she was filled with curiosity about what Ling Ye had seen.
