A Magical Mushroom Soup Chapter 11

A person covered in needle marks was tossed into the cage, so weak only breathing remained.

But his figure was extremely familiar. I moved closer to confirm—it was my brother who'd been missing for two years!

People around looked at him pitifully, sighing:

"So pitiful. Been captured for a year now, hasn't he?"

"That's right. Every ten days or two weeks, the higher-ups drag him away, and he comes back like this."

"What a hard life. Hope he survives longer so we have to give less blood."

I listened with burning rage, and the surrounding animals grew agitated too.

"Shut up!" I couldn't help but roar.

I couldn't imagine how much pain my brother must have endured in this hellish situation.

Instant silence fell, everyone looking at me in unison.

My brother lying on the ground seemed to hear a familiar voice. He struggled to sit up and look at me.

The moment our eyes met, his filled with disbelief and grievance. My heart filled with bitterness and self-blame.

Before I could speak, Bleach led us away. I signaled my brother with my eyes to wait for me.

Bleach followed my gaze, looking somewhat puzzled. I immediately looked away. It wasn't safe now—I absolutely couldn't expose my relationship with my brother.

Jackson whispered, "Is that him?" I nodded.

He continued, "Later, sell me to get your brother. Find reinforcements to rescue me."
