As time passed, more and more Bloody Marys gathered around the roaring Bloody Mary. They varied in height and weight; some were slender while others were stout, their shapes and appearances sometimes identical, sometimes different, retaining the forms of the last hunted creatures. When they converged, a chilling scene unfolded.
They all transformed, taking on the same appearance as the roaring Bloody Mary, which was that of Yelai. These Yelai ranked in various levels. Among them, one Rank 8 Bloody Mary approached, drawn by the calls, and also morphed into Yelai's form. The number of Bloody Marys had reached eighteen.
Finally, the Rank 6 Bloody Mary turned away and headed towards the villa. However, it did not cease its roaring; it continued to call out, attracting other Bloody Marys from afar who could hear its cries. This scene was unsettling.
It was no wonder that those who knew about Bloody Marys turned pale at the mention of them. They imagined that once humans entered the mirror world, they would be besieged by an endless swarm of Bloody Marys, constantly calling for their companions. Even if a Sequence Rank was high upon entering the mirror world, they could still be worn down to death.
The horde made its way towards the villa with great commotion. The noise was so loud that even Yelai, who had left the villa, could hear it.
Hmm? Yelai lifted his head and looked towards the villa. Are they coming? He thought to himself as he noticed how the Bloody Mary had suddenly dashed off after previously lingering around—it was responding to its companions' summons.
As he spoke, he glanced ahead and saw a Rank 4 Bloody Mary standing right in front of him. Not long ago, thanks to his Silver Pocket Watch, Yelai had been like a self-propelled radar; whenever he sensed movement from the Silver Pocket Watch, he knew there must be an Anomalous Entity nearby. Without hesitation, he chose to approach it.
With the strange power of the Silver Pocket Watch, Yelai soon found himself face to face with Bloody Mary. Without any hesitation, he released the leash he held on Gaze, allowing Gaze to materialize from its translucent state and possess Bloody Mary.
Just as Yelai intended for Gaze to use the deadly Sequence Power to extract its Heart's Blood, he was suddenly interrupted by a call.
In that instant, Yelai felt a sense of urgency. Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately issued his command. "Go, follow the sound and lead me there. You will disguise yourself as Bloody Mary and merge with them. Wait for my command; do not act without it."
Gaze, now possessing Bloody Mary, nodded in understanding. It followed Yelai's instructions, transforming into Bloody Mary and swiftly floating away, leaving behind a trail of red afterimages. Before long, it reached the main group of Bloody Marys.
Upon seeing the identical forms of Bloody Mary, Gaze froze for a moment. As it listened to their calls while still possessing Bloody Mary, it realized they were not Yelai.
Yelai observed this scene closely. Sensing the overwhelming fear emanating from Gaze in that instant, he couldn't help but smile inwardly. It seemed he had been too harsh in taming it before; it was so afraid of him.
After Gaze snapped out of its daze, it continued to converge towards the group of Bloody Marys. Yelai closely followed behind.
Throughout the entire process, under the eerie power of Eyeballs, Yelai remained undetected by the group of Bloody Marys. Even those at Rank Eight could not perceive him.
Truly, this Secret Artifact was coveted by many in the Numbered Protection Zone.
As Yelai watched Gaze merge with the Bloody Marys and transform into an identical appearance, he did not remain idle on their way to the villa.
Holding the Eyeballs and carrying the Silver Pocket Watch, he approached each Bloody Mary, using the hands of the Silver Pocket Watch to determine the Rank of every Bloody Mary.
By the time they reached the villa, he had already figured out the Rank of each Bloody Mary.
At that moment, the group of Bloody Marys had arrived at the villa without a hint of hesitation, their Madness driving them to rush into the villa.
