"That was a dream," Shung Yun muttered as he stared silently at the ceiling above him, "mom never came back as she promised."

"Have any idea why the bell rang three[3] times?" a upper-stage middle aged male soldier asked a soldier from his unit beside him.
"I don't. But it must be really serious for the bell to be rang three[3] time," the soldier beside him said.
Why the hell did they have to wake us up by this time?" Shung Yun grumbled as rubbed his eyes.
"You're feeling sleepy because of how late you slept," Shung Kai said as he looked at the two[2] commanders walking towards the platform in front of all the soldiers present.
"I'm kind of looking forward to the reason we were called," Shung Yun yawned while covering his mouth.
Looking at the soldiers assembled in the ceremonial field, the commander of Divine Tree Section announced, "the emergency bell that rang out was due to the mistake of the watchers. You all should go back to your residents and prepare for your daily activities."
"Are they kidding? How could they make a mistake when they know the sound of the bell represent important information and activities," some soldiers became angry at the watchers as they rained curses and insults on them.
"Seems like there's an information the higher ups are trying to conceal," Shung Kai muttered as he looked at the Divine Tree commander and the Winged Whale commander on the platform.
"That because there is," Shung Yun said before walking towards Shung Kai's resident.
"He knows something," looking at the back of his captain, Shung Kai thought.
"I can't believe you could do something like this, Elder Su," commander Ming said as he she looked disgustingly at Nue Su.
"I said I didn't conduct the sacrifice. I wouldn't do such a thing no matter how much I love my daughter," Nue Su as commander Nai held him to his knees.
"The blood trail leads to your resident, Elder Su. I don't think that's a coincidence," Elder Li of Shung Clan said as she looked at Nue Su, "the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree."
"Why would I make such a silly mistake like letting the blood of the killed sacrifice drop until it get to my room if I was the one who did it? This just goes to show that I'm being framed," Nue Su said as he looked at the elders and commanders in his room.
"Who among the dantian unsealing realm cultivators in the base would frame you for such act?" commander Nai asked Nue Su.
"That I do not know. But I'm very sure some of them would love to see me dead," Nue Su said as his eyes flash between Elder Li and commander Jian.
"You base your claim of not being guilty on the prospect that some people don't want to see you alive? Is that the best you can come up with, Elder Su?" commander Nai said as he increased the force used to restrain Nue Su.
"What do you mean, Byui Nai?" Nue Su said unhappily as he looked at commander Nai.
"Do you know how many people are not happy that I'm alive? Do you know how many people are not happy that the village chief alive? As living beings, there must be people who are not happy that we're alive and striving. Basing a claim of innocent on something like that is futile," commander Nai said.
Shocked from Byui Nai's words, Nue Su was silent with nothing to claim his innocent.
"Let's not be so fast to conclude," the upper-stage old man said as he diffused the tensed silent in the room.
"Do you have anything to say, Elder Gauyi?" commander Nai asked.
"We all know that the forbidden ritual must force the one sacrificing to Nether king Beelzebub to keep the sacrifice's heart close to him for twelve[12] hours, unless he or she will receive a life-threatening punishment from Nether king Beelzebub. As long as Elder Su isn't afraid of the punishment of such a ruthless demon, then the heart of the girl must be in this room," the upper-stage old man said.
"Th..that's right!" Nue Su got himself once again after hearing Elder Gauyi's words, "as long as I'm the one who did it, then Nue Chu's heart will definitely be in my room."
"Commander Jian, take charge of searching for the heart," commander Nai said to the Warhead Section commander.
"I understand," commander Jian said as he proceeded to find the heart of Nue Chu.
"Nue Chu was my subordinate. I won't hold back in finding her killer," commander Ming said to commander Nai.
"I didn't ask you to help in finding your subordinate's heart because that might cause a rift between you and Elder Su. And that will impact the future of your Nue clan, thereby affecting the village as a whole," commander Nai said as he paid attention to commander Jian.
After several minutes, commander Jian came to a stop.
"I can't find it," he said to commander Jian.
"Hahaha! That means I'm innocent!" Nue Su laughed out loud as relief washed through his body.
"It's too early to be happy, Elder Su," commander Nai said as he brought Nue Su out of his excited state.
"Is there something else you want from me, Byui Nai? Not finding the heart in my room means the one who conducted the ritual is holding onto it," Nue Su said angrily to commander Nai.
"We'll conduct the search once again when commander Zhu arrives," commander Nai said as he continued holding Nue Su down.
"I'll report the way you insulted me to my Clan head, Byui Nai," Nue Su said as he reined in his anger.
Few minutes later.....
"We've resolved the issue caused by the bell," the Winged-Whale Section commander said as he entered Nue Su's room with the Divine-Tree Section commander.
"That's good. Commander Zhu, use your tracking technique in finding the location of the heart of the sacrificed lady," commander Nai said to the Divine-Tree Section commander.
"Alright," commander Zhu of Divine-Tree Byui military Section said before sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"It's beginning," Nue Su got nervous as he saw vines appearing around commander Zhu before penetrating into the ground and slithering through the entire building.
"W...why am I suddenly getting nervous? I know I didn't kill anybody," he thought as he composed himself.
"I found something," commander Zhu said as he opened his eyes.
"Is it the heart?" commander Nai asked.
"I don't know. I didn't see it clearly due to how dark it was," commander Zhu said as he stood up.
"Where did you see what you found?" commander Nai asked.
"In the wall," commander Zhu said as he walked towards the wall at his left.
"You all should know I was just given this room due to my visit to the base. It might be something left by the previous user of this room," Nue Sun said as he looked at commander Zhu walking towards the area containing the evident of his innocence or deceit.
"If what is there isn't a fresh heart, then you're free to go," commander Nai said as he kept his eyes on commander Zhu.
"Tha...that's good," Nue Su stuttered as he sensed a bad premonition.
"That's a weapon's cut," commander Jian said as he followed behind commander Zhu together with the other commander and Elders except commander Nai and Nue Su.
"It looks rough. Carrying out such an abominable act must have made him sloppy, making it impossible for him to carry out his actions in a calm state," Elder Li said as she looked at the square shaped carving on the wall.
"I didn't carry out any abominable act!" Nue Su said out loud as he glared at Elder Li.
"We'll know about that in a few seconds," Elder Li said as she looked at Nue Su.
"Anyone with daggers?" commander Zhu asked as he traced his fingers across the cut on the wall.
"Here," commander Jian said as he passed two[2] daggers to commander Zhu.
Taking the daggers from commander Jian, commander Zhu inserted the daggers into the opposite sides of the square shaped carving before bending them towards the right, forcing the square shaped carved wall to slowly move out.
"It's blood!" commander Tian of the Winged-Whale Section exclaimed as blood slid down the bottom edges of the square shaped carving.
