This actor is full of tricks.

"Walk with you?"

The female demon was taken aback. She looked at He Wen and the old headmaster behind Lin Jue and immediately understood what Lin Jue meant. She chuckled twice and said, "I have no plans to leave here for the time being. As you can see, there are still many ghosts in the station. They are my friends too. I can't just leave them like this."

This was essentially a polite refusal, but Lin Jue was always thick-skinned: "It's okay, I can take them with me."

"..." The female demon opened her mouth, and it took her a long time to finally utter an apology.

"It's okay, I'm not saying you have to come with me. Everything is negotiable." Lin Jue wasn't embarrassed at all after being rejected, and immediately changed his request.

"How about this, I'll help you kill a monster, and you'll help me kill one. We'll split what we get in half."

"Okay." This request relieved the female demon. With her current strength, as long as she didn't encounter any extremely vicious individuals, she and Lin Jue could easily kill anyone they wanted in this misty area.

This request is not unreasonable at all; in fact, it can be described as easy and pleasant.

But she quickly realized something was wrong and stared intently at Lin Jue: "Who are you going to kill?"

The doctor in front of me has a very luxurious and bizarre setup: four ghosts who control the underworld, killing anyone they want is a piece of cake. Why would they need my help?

This means that the guy the doctor is trying to kill is no ordinary person.

"Um... he's not that great... just average. It would be easy for the few of us to deal with him together." Lin Jue wanted to coax and trick the female demon out first. Then they would be in the same boat. Once the benevolent father arrived, the female demon would have no choice but to take action.

But it was clear that the fact that the female demon could react instantly was enough to prove that she was not someone who could be fooled. She remained highly skeptical of Lin Jue's words: "If it were really as easy as you say, you could easily handle it with your strength. One more of me wouldn't make a difference, and one less of me wouldn't make a difference either."

"It's not gentlemanly to lie to girls," my sister added.

"Really, I'm not lying to you." Lin Jue said without batting an eye.

The female demon still looked suspicious: "I thought that we had established a very deep trust since we joined forces. At least I was completely open with you. But now it seems that you are still not sincere with me. Maybe I was just wishful thinking that you were a friend."

As they spoke, the female demon and her sister on her neck both sighed deeply, as if they had been wronged.

Wait, wait...

Lin Jue found the tone of voice very familiar; he often used this tone to fool others. This was a match made in heaven.

He sighed as well: "Actually, it's best not to know the truth about some things. Look at the people in the real world outside the fog, don't they all live their lives in a daze?"

"Don't try to change the logic." The female demon saw right through Lin Jue.

"I'm being honest. If you knew who you were going to deal with, you might regret promising me a condition. Do you want to be a treacherous person without integrity and completely destroy the trust between us?" Lin Jue said, feigning concern for the female demon.

"But you won't tell me, how can I agree to your request?" The female demon wasn't fooled at all. A strange look suddenly appeared on her beautiful face: "You don't mean to go and deal with the most wicked villain, do you?"

"More or less." Lin Jue, having been correctly guessed by the female demon, didn't mince words and nodded in agreement. "Although it's described as extremely vicious, it's not at its peak. I've made ample preparations." The female demon was utterly shocked. She didn't know how to describe her thoughts and could only point towards the car door: "The door is there. Turn right after exiting and drive for about a thousand kilometers. You'll see a thick fog. Find a hole of suitable size and crawl inside; that will kill you faster."

"I'm serious." Lin Jue said with a solemn expression.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" The female demon raised her voice considerably.

Lin Jue walked out of the station with a helpless expression. In the end, he still couldn't persuade the female demon. She was very resistant and said that she could agree to anything except the most vicious and evil.

This left Lin Jue with no other option. He couldn't force the ghost to stay hidden with the raincoat, so he had to refocus his attention on the spider. However, since he already knew the location of the female demon, he would try to persuade her after he finished dealing with the "benevolent father" scenario.

At this moment, the hour hand on the watch has already completed three and a half rotations, which means there are still three days left.

"Three days is enough time for me to reach the foggy area at my speed, but there won't be enough time to turn back. Plus, I'll have to keep traveling without resting for a moment, which will be a huge test for both my body and mind..."

"Is there any effortless and convenient way to get around?"

As Lin Jue walked and pondered, his eyes suddenly lit up as he remembered the bus he had encountered earlier.

Perhaps he could take that bus. Although the bus's final stop is Sanshui Bay, once he gets on, he'll be in charge of deciding the final stop.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue headed straight for the bus stop. The abandoned platform was deserted. Lin Jue sat down on the dilapidated chair and waited. Ten minutes later, a horn sounded from the distant mist.

The bus is here!

Lin Jue stood up and looked at the headlights shining from afar. Pale legs carried the twisted carriages out of the fog and stopped in front of the platform.

The car door opened, and the driver was still the same rude driver. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Lin Jue, probably because he remembered this talkative passenger.

"Either insert a coin or get out."

The familiar curses were still there, but this time Lin Jue was different from last time. He barged into the carriage with an extremely arrogant attitude, pulled out a pencil sharpener, and said: "Either drive, or die!"

As soon as he said that, the carriage fell silent. The driver and all the passengers stared at Lin Jue with strange looks, and then burst into laughter, as if they had heard the biggest joke ever.

"Doesn't this guy know that this car is a Class C Weird? How dare he be so bold?"

"Just watch, this kid is about to become fuel for this car."

Lin Jue laughed along, "Haven't you heard that there's a powerful black-coated doctor in this fog?"

The laughter in the carriage gradually subsided, and the passengers looked at Lin Jue with suspicion. Being in this fog, they had naturally heard about the culprit who had overturned Sanshui Bay.

Their laughter stopped, but Lin Jue's laughter grew louder and louder as he fiddled with the pencil sharpener in his hand: "You can ask this car if it dares to lay a hand on me." (End of Chapter)
