What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

"Word of Binding: You can make a verbal agreement with a ghost of the same or lower level than yourself. Once the agreement is reached, the ghost will work for you unconditionally."

"You can now sign a ghost."

"If you need to sign another goblin, you must terminate your contract with the first goblin."

"A ghost who has signed a contract with you can never betray you."

Looking at this new usage method, Su Yu remained silent for a long time.

Ok……

It looks like it's going to be more practical.

However, for someone like her who has a powerful backer, it seems that all she needs to do is grab the dog's head and give it orders.

"However, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't betray me if I use threats to get them to work for me."

Moreover, as your level increases, you might encounter even more powerful monsters and monsters.

When that time comes, wouldn't it be wonderful to catch a very strong one and have it work for you?

Thinking about this, Su Yu felt a little excited.

"Next, I need to work hard to level up! The higher the level, the stronger the monsters I can enslave."

Unfortunately, the Ghost King was always watching her.

She most likely won't be able to repeatedly farm a certain dungeon to gain experience.

Su Yu knew very well how much Miss Ghost King was looking forward to their wedding.

After the next instance, she will have to return to the real world and accept Miss Ghost King's marriage proposal...

The thought of herself in her wedding dress, pinned to the bed by her, made Su Yu's face turn bright red.

Just as she was lost in her fantasies, the jade bracelet on her wrist was revealed once again.

And then, it started making a clanging sound again!

"Schrödinger's jade bracelet?"

Su Yu stroked the strange bracelet, completely baffled.

It appeared suddenly before we even entered that instance, and then reacted very strongly.

"That dungeon is indeed quite difficult. Theoretically speaking, it should have resulted in a total wipeout."

Thinking about this, Su Yu seemed to understand something.

"Is it trying to warn me that there is danger?"

But this is a rest area!

If even rest areas aren't safe, then where can we find safety?!

Just as Su Yu was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a paper figure, no taller than an index finger, stumbled out of the darkness and plopped down at her feet.

Su Yu subconsciously took several steps back.

The paper figure just lay there, no longer moving.

After a long while, Su Yu finally mustered up her courage and walked up to it.

On the back of the paper figure, there were a few lines of small writing...

044. Rounding it off, they're already friends.

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you."

"But my sister is missing. Can you help me find her?"

"The last time I saw her, she boarded the No. 444 bus heading to the suburbs."

"I hope you can help us."

"My younger sister has bangs and long black hair. When she left home, she was wearing the uniform of Aoyama Private Junior High School. If you see her, please don't (cross out), please don't (cross out)..."

"Otherwise, something terrible will happen."

The keywords on the paper were all forcefully smeared and crossed out.

After Su Yu finished reading the contents on the back of the paper figure, her wrist suddenly felt a burning pain!

She looked down at her wrist.

A black burn mark appeared on his wrist.

Looking at the paper figure again, it had already turned into a pile of ashes.

"Well……"

Su Yu covered her wrist.

The pain continued to intensify in waves.

At this moment, the jade bracelet on her wrist emitted faint green fluorescence, enveloping the inexplicably appearing black mark.

"It's trying to heal me... Ouch... But it really hurts!"

It took Su Yu two full hours to recover from the terrible pain.

The jade bracelet's fluorescence has been trying to heal it, but the black marks are still gradually spreading.

Thinking of her promise to Ryoko, Su Yu could only endure the pain and leave the rest area.

……

……

Outside the rest area.

Ryoko, sitting on a trash can at the edge of the street, frowned as she watched Su Yu walk out into the distance.

She sensed that Su Yu was being entangled by a curse-like force.

How could something like this happen in just a few hours?

When Su Yu walked up to her, she reached out and grabbed Su Yu's wrist.

The power of the curse originates from here.

Feeling a little embarrassed as she held her hand and stared intently at her.

"Well, I said..."

"Hmm?" Ryoko stroked the black burn mark on her wrist. "Who gave you this?"

"I'm not too sure either."

Su Yu scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"It looks like a small paper figure, but actually, it's probably just a weapon or tool, right?"

Ryoko seemed to be deep in thought.

Are they just paper figures the size of a finger?

Indeed, it's like a tool for releasing a curse.

In her memory, she had indeed seen a few dark witches do this, but that was hundreds of years ago.

Those targeted by those black witches were all extremely powerful individuals.

Su Yu is still a newcomer, so how could she be targeted by something so troublesome?

Where are we going today?

Su Yu tried to pull her hand back, but Ryoko held it tightly and refused to let go.

“You are in danger right now,” Ryoko said calmly. “If possible, it’s best not to leave my side for even a moment.”

Su Yu: "..."

She couldn't help but think, "It would be dangerous to be inseparable from you!"

If the Ghost King finds out that the two of them met alone, he will definitely punish her!

However, Su Yu did not dare to go against Ryoko's wishes.

After all, this guy's strength is equally terrifying.

Under Ryoko's insistence, Su Yu had no choice but to let her hold his hand and continue walking forward.

"Miss Ryoko, where exactly are we...where are we going?"

Su Yu felt that she was getting further and further away from the path she was familiar with.

Ryoko glanced back at her: "Don't worry, I don't kidnap children."

After she said that, Su Yu really started to worry.

Are you planning to sell her?

Coincidentally, as Ryoko led her away, they encountered two familiar players.

One of them was Zhang Qin, the male player who fought alongside Su Yu on the thirteenth step of the Strange Tales Campus.

Another one is Xia Mai, the female player Su Yu encountered the first time she entered the dungeon.

Although the two were walking together, they were clearly not very familiar with each other.

The space in the middle can accommodate at least two more people.

Ryoko turned her head to look at her: "Do you two know each other?"

Su Yu nodded.

"We're more than just acquaintances, we're sworn brothers! This lady with cat ears actually saved my life."

Zhang Qin generously handed over a bag of snacks he had just bought.

"Try it! This was made by a player with culinary talent in this small world. It tastes really good."

A natural talent for cooking?

Hearing this seemingly joking talent, Su Yu was astonished.
