"But you don't seem to fit either of those criteria."
Ryoko turned her head again and continued to look at her.
A person can fake an innocent and naive appearance, but they cannot fake such clean and pure eyes.
No one could hide anything from her, as a divine messenger.
Therefore, Su Yu's situation puzzled her greatly.
"You might want to ask the Ghost King about this."
"Could she possibly know anything inside information?"
Ryoko wasn't sure either, only saying, "She probably knows more than I do. Besides, her feelings for you are genuine, so she should do her best to help you."
"Oh!"
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
She doesn't seem to realize how serious the situation is.
Ryoko frowned.
You see, if that place really is a place used to seal away ghosts and monsters, then it means that Su Yu's soul can never advance.
Because when a wandering soul advances to a wronged soul, or even a higher level, it needs to undergo soul cleansing at the Soul Palace.
This process may take two or three hours, or it may take two or three days, or even longer.
Su Yu has no way to enter that strange building, so how can she advance?
In this way, she will remain at the level of a wandering soul forever.
Of course, strength can continue to improve.
Who knows, she might become the strongest wandering spirit in history.
……
After staying there for a full hour, the bloodstains on Su Yu's body completely disappeared.
At this moment, Ryoko told her that it was time to prepare to leave.
Su Yu yawned and stood up limply.
After taking care of herself for a while, she felt much more relaxed.
It felt like after three days of staying up all night, I took a hot bath and had a good night's sleep, feeling very comfortable.
Unfortunately, the burn marks on my wrists have not yet faded.
It's just that the dull pain has stopped, and it hasn't spread any further.
Ryoko gently stroked her wrist, as if caressing a precious piece of porcelain covered in cracks, her movements tender, her eyes revealing a hint of heartache.
Once they left the space filled with transparent flowers, Ryoko consciously kept her distance from her.
"Hey, you two, what a coincidence, meeting here."
The Ghost King sat on the steps by the roadside, resting his chin on his hand, and looked at them with a smile.
That smile was very kind.
However, Su Yu sensed a sinister meaning in it.
"How long have you been waiting here?"
Ryoko remained calm.
Even though the Ghost King's gaze seemed to devour her, she remained calm.
Anyway, she didn't do anything with Su Yu.
The Ghost King chuckled and said, "Not long, it's only been about two hours."
She waited here for two hours?
In other words, she actually followed them all the way here!
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt a chill run down her spine.
It's like the guilt of cheating on your wife and getting caught...
"Then, I'll leave Xiaoyu to you. I have some things to do, so I won't stay with you any longer."
Ryoko took a step back, turned around, and disappeared back into the darkness.
The Ghost King stared in the direction she had left, his gaze gradually darkening.
"Ugh, this is really annoying."
She knew that Ryoko did what she did today because of Yu.
However, the thought of her adorable Xiaoyu holding hands with that guy made her incredibly jealous.
She was a ghost to begin with!
Ghosts and monsters are far more jealous than humans!
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and coax me, I'm angry now."
The Ghost King, who was extremely jealous, just pouted and asked Su Yu for a hug.
"I'm so angry, so angry, extremely angry!"
Who can resist a mature woman's coquettishness?
Especially this kind of powerful and charismatic older woman!
Feeling guilty, Su Yu silently stepped forward and accepted her hug.
"Hmph, is that enough?" The Ghost King was clearly unconvinced and pointed to his lips again: "Here, and here too!"
Su Yu blushed, carefully and quickly gave him another peck, and then quickly turned her head away.
Seeing the pitiful little thing's shy appearance, the Ghost King's resentment finally dissipated.
However, she still pressed Su Yu's head down and gave her another hard kiss.
This guy always makes his affection very obvious, as if he's afraid others won't know.
"Let's go and take you home."
She held Su Yu's hand, noticeably tighter than before.
It seemed as if they were afraid that if they let go, they would lose this lovely bride.
And so, Su Yu remained silent as she was led back to the rest area by her hand, which was held tightly.
She stood at the door, watching Su Yu's figure gradually disappear into the light screen, before turning away with a sense of loss.
"When you sincerely want what's best for someone, you can indeed tolerate a lot of things."
But then I thought, maybe Ryoko won't be able to sleep either?
As a messenger of the gods, she possessed even less freedom than she did.
Falling in love with a human or something...
That would never be allowed.
Poor thing, he probably can't even realize that he's fallen in love with humans.
"Well, my little Yu is so cute, it's not hard to understand why she's loved by the gods."
……
……
Back in the rest area, Su Yu had mixed feelings.
Without much hesitation, she immediately started the next instance.
To solve the problem on my wrist, I have to go through the "Last Bus in the City" challenge.
However, when Su Yu chose to enter the dungeon, the jade bracelet on her wrist made a very loud noise.
It seemed like they were desperately trying to stop her from entering that instance.
"But what else can we do if we don't go?"
Su Yu pressed down on the jade bracelet.
Stroking it is like comforting a wounded pet.
"I will try my best to live on."
This seems to give it a guarantee, and also give itself an unwavering goal.
The jade bracelet gradually calmed down.
Su Yu exhaled softly and slowly closed her eyes.
"The only goal is to survive..."
048. Honey, were you scared?
tick-
The sound of falling water droplets woke Su Yu.
When Su Yu opened her eyes again, she was already standing under a dilapidated bus stop.
The sky was dark, and the rain was getting heavier.
On the wide road, there were only a few scattered pedestrians.
At this moment, Su Yu noticed that there was a bus timetable posted on the platform.
And, a task description that you would absolutely miss if you didn't look at it carefully.
"The system's quest descriptions are getting more and more obscure. Could it be that this thing isn't even in the official dungeons anymore?!"
After making a couple of complaints, Su Yu still carefully read the task instructions.
"Mission requirements: Board bus number 444 bound for Qingshan Cemetery and get off alive at the final stop."
