Chapter 765 -440: Triple Spirits (3)_2
A moment later, he placed a plate in front of the wooden crate’s opening and chuckled, “Eat it while it’s hot. This time it’s not red-hot charcoal, it’s actually edible.”
Then he turned and left the room.

Zhuang Wenjing’s stomach had been growling non-stop, and upon hearing the man leave, she immediately threw herself down at the opening of the crate, extending her arm out.
But she soon hesitated. Although she touched the plate, she didn’t dare to get close to the center of the plate.
The location where the food was placed was a blind spot from her view, but her palm could feel the warmth emanating from the plate.
Zhuang Wenjing gently prodded it with her index finger, creating an indentation. It wasn’t hot, nor was it hard; it seemed to be edible.
She hastily grabbed it, the sticky substance adhering to her hand, and immediately a strange, foul smell wafted into her nostrils.
Withdrawing her hand, she looked at the filth smeared all over it, and suddenly her stomach churned, wanting to vomit but nothing came out.
The warmth coming from her hand once again scattered the fragments of her memory.
…
This time, Zhuang Wenjing could clearly feel a pair of hands holding her tightly. There was nothing sticky, no burning heat, no chilly sensation—these were hands of unparalleled warmth.
After Yan Junze had spoken, it didn’t take long before he saw the lid of the cardboard box being slightly pushed up.
A pair of eyes appeared beneath the lid of the box; though only visible by the whiteness of the eyes, the look was filled with wariness, fear, unease, terror, and fierceness.
The variety of emotions indicated Zhuang Wenjing’s state at that moment; she wanted to attack Yan Junze but realized that he seemed to have no ill-intentions, making it impossible for her to strike. She wanted to withdraw and hide back inside the box, but she could feel the warmth from his palms, making her reluctant to let go.
“Leave this cage; there’s no need to cling to it anymore,” Yan Junze tried his best to lower his voice, making it softer, “If you want something to eat, I can accommodate you. You can have all kinds of tasty food, not those raw, disgusting ones.”
The lid of the box opened further, and Zhuang Wenjing’s head slowly emerged from inside, followed by her standing up inside the box.
Yan Junze also stood up with her.
It was then that he realized that Zhuang Wenjing’s arms couldn’t lower; they were rigid at the shoulders, kept in a forward-bent position.
Looking at her like this, she must have kept her arms through the hole for food, longing for another bite, until death took her.
That is to say, Zhuang Wenjing starved to death.
Soon after she stood up, the cardboard box beneath her feet vanished right before Yan Junze’s eyes.
Originally wearing a pale yellow dress, Zhuang Wenjing’s garment was now covered in so much filth that its original color and pattern could not be discerned.
Yan Junze took her hands and slowly stepped back, stopping in front of the sofa before letting her sit down.
“You’re safe now; all the pain has passed. Once we get out of here, you can eat whatever you want.”
At this moment, Zhuang Wenjing curled up habitually, gripping her legs tightly, her entire body shrinking onto the sofa, giving no response.
A mission prompt simultaneously flashed through Yan Junze’s mind.
[The Fear Inside the Box, Terrified (Low), has been completed, and you’ve received 1600 Different Dimension Energy points.]
Mission accomplished.
Having already completed Zhuang Wenhui’s mission, only a cursory analysis combining the clues from both sisters’ missions was needed to infer that this Terrified-level mission wasn’t difficult to accomplish.
However, for an exorcist who doesn’t use a Buddhist Exorcism Method, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to confront Zhuang Wenjing’s Obsession head-on.
Just then, the atmosphere around him changed again, a bone-chilling cold penetrating his body, making Yan Junze shiver uncontrollably.
He looked around, seeing no changes in the environment but feeling the temperature drop once more.
While it wasn’t cold enough to form ice on his eyebrows, standing there for a while might make his body tremble from the cold.
And, as expected, right after the mission completion prompt, another new mission appeared.
Yan Junze looked inward and whispered to himself, “Scared witless (Low)?!”
He sighed deeply and muttered, “Here comes the real deal.”
According to previous deductions, a top-tier four-star exorcist should not have been so easily trapped here.
So far, with the appearance of these two strangenesses, Cao Heng could have broken through them with direct action given his abilities.
Hence, his entrapment must have something to do with this third strangeness that was about to emerge. Whether there were even more formidable strangenesses to follow, Yan Junze could only guess.
“If there are even stronger strangenesses lurking after this third one, as per the Exorcism Squad’s usual practice, it would probably require at least two five-star exorcists to deal with the situation here to ensure safety,” Yan Junze speculated internally.
Triple Spirits; the least amongst them is a Sculpting Spirit, like Zhuang Wenhui, and Zhuang Wenjing in the box is already a Semi-Ethereal Spirit, so the strangeness that is about to make an appearance would undoubtedly be an Ethereal Spirit.
With Triple Spirits united, no wonder Cao Heng was put at a disadvantage!
After a quick glance at the mission information, Yan Junze was slightly surprised, but he didn’t show it and walked towards the bedroom instead.
Upon entering the bedroom, he saw another person lying on the bed, finally filling it completely.
