Well, to be precise, they should be humanoid creatures, and there were many of them.

For example, there are humans who have strayed into it, ghosts that wander around it, and some monsters that are neither human nor ghost, without consciousness, only a hunger for food...

Its location is very close to Izumo Province, and theoretically, it is a place that can receive divine blessings.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

You've all probably seen Journey to the West, right?

This place has a bit of the feel of Lion Camel Ridge.

It exists at the feet of the gods, yet it is shrouded in darkness.

Ghosts want to hunt humans, humans want to kill ghosts, and monsters that are neither human nor ghosts want to devour the entire city.

However, in Wuliang City, there are no rulers like the Azure Lion, White Elephant, or Roc, only a very weak city lord, Jiang Zhenli.

Ok?

You asked why we added "very weak"?

The reason is simple: she was a human ghost who had died less than a month ago.

Moreover, in the mortal realm, she was just an ordinary high school student with no remarkable abilities that could be described as "powerful".

"So, how did Jiang Zhenli become the city lord?"

In this place where strength reigns supreme, if Jiang Zhenli didn't have some real skills, she probably wouldn't even have had time to settle into her position as city lord before she was assassinated.

The shopkeeper exhaled a smoke ring and calmly said, "Because the position of city lord is something like a flag, and it is randomly awarded."

Su Yu: "Huh?"

The position of city lord was decided too casually!

Randomly distributed?

"The person who is given the title of city lord may be a beggar on the street, an old man sweeping the door, or even a serial killer. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are truly righteous people among them."

"However, how long he can stay in this position depends on his subsequent performance."

"I heard that the City Lord's Code is about a meter thick, right?"

"One must strictly abide by this code of conduct for the city lord in order to secure the position of city lord."

Hearing this, Su Yu finally understood.

How exactly did this high school girl named Jiang Zhenli manage to secure her position?

This guy's memory is absolutely outstanding!

Moreover, they are absolutely very disciplined!

Su Yu couldn't help but ask again, "So, after becoming the city lord, will she be safe? Won't anyone try to assassinate her or anything?"

"Power and obligation are complementary."

The store manager looked at Su Yu with a mocking gaze.

"Miss Su, do you really think that someone who went to such lengths to retain the position of city lord would receive absolutely no benefits?"

Having said all that, Su Yu had a general understanding.

So he stopped asking about the city lord.

She turned her gaze to the business card.

Wuliangcheng, No. 777, Wudeng Road.

These numbers are all quite strange.

Neither 444 nor 777 have anything to do with the word "auspicious".

What kind of goods do you want me to stock?

"In the haunted club, there's only one kind of stuff: screams."

"A scream?"

"It was a square wooden box filled with the souls of people who had been frightened away, and their courage that had been shattered."

Hearing her say that, Su Yu roughly understood why some people would get a fever and fall ill for no apparent reason after going to a haunted house.

If your soul is scared away, how can anything good happen?

After Su Yu accepted the request, the store manager left with the blueprints and materials.

However, Su Yu began to think about how she should deal with Wuliang City.

Helping the shop owner carry things was just a side thing I did.

The biggest gain was the information about Muliang City.

In the horror game, Su Yu would not let go of any information, even if it might never be used.

If it comes in handy, it could be life-saving intelligence.

"The problem now is, I don't know which instance Wuliang City will be."

Su Yu rested her chin on her hand and let out a muffled sigh.

Moreover, I always felt that this thing called "Scream" wasn't as easy to get as the store manager had said.

If it's too difficult to get her hands on it, she'll definitely have to extort a hefty sum from this scallop spirit!

The longer she spent with the Ghost King and his group, the more shrewd she became.

I used to think that suffering a loss was a blessing, but now I only think, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!"

Want to make her suffer? Don't even think about it!

……

Later that day, Su Yu received a communication paper doll from Qi Gaolang.

Su Yu was also looking for him to find out more information about the Skyport and its surroundings, and to see if she could get more information about the Merfolk.

It's really strange.

At first, she didn't care much about Doris, but as she received various pieces of information about her intermittently, she became more and more concerned about her.

Of course, this kind of concern is different from love.

If I had to put it into words, it would be something like, "I'm worried that my obedient pet might get killed by bad people."

Qi Gaolang: "Yo! Any good stuff lately? I've thoroughly studied all the things you gave me before, and that octopus girl's diary is really interesting, hehehe~"

Su Yu: "Good things are always available, but what can you offer me in exchange?"

Qi Gaolang: "A glass ball! Of course, it's this one!"

Su Yu: "So, do you have any information about the merfolk?"

Qi Gaolang: "Uh..."

His paper figure made a chin-resting gesture and remained silent for a moment.

"The merfolk? They're almost extinct, aren't they? This disease is really severe; it's affecting other beastmen as well."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"However, this disease isn't entirely incurable; it's just that the necessary things are quite complicated."

These words excited Su Yu again.

Any help?

Well then, at least let her save Doris!

In this way, I can say that I have finally put my mind at ease.

"Tell me quickly, what do you need?"

"Um……"

Qi Gaolang's paper figure shifted to a relaxed, lounging position: "It seems to require a specialty from the Ghost Club of Wuliang City? Something like 'Scream'..."

Su Yu: "Are you sure?"

"You don't need to doubt my intelligence; I'm willing to stake my integrity on it!"

Qi Gaolang was quite honest; after giving the information, he immediately began to demand benefits.

So, Su Yu casually pulled out a local specialty he had bought from Izumo and tossed it to his paper doll.

"Ah! I know this, it's super delicious! Thank you!"

Qi Gaolang excitedly accepted the box of snacks.

Then, he continued to look at Su Yu with expectant eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu packed up the indescribable props that Miss Ghost King had bought and gave them to Qi Gaolang in exchange for a one-month renewal fee for the use of the glass beads.

"Hehehe, I feel like I'll be able to play with these good stuff for a long time! Especially this electric jellyfish, it's really hard to buy..."

202. Ms. Ryoko, do you want to eat me?

Ryoko and Oni-ou slept upstairs for a long time.

Drinking alcohol and taking poison would be hard for even them to handle.

At this moment, Ryoko, who has a higher resistance to poisonous mushrooms, woke up first.

Her mind was still a blur.

Many memories have become blurred, but the memories of Su Yu are exactly as clear as ever.

"Xiaoyu kissed me."

Ryoko covered her face and collapsed onto the leather sofa with a "plop".

"Xiaoyu also gave me medicine."

She never dared to dream of such a good thing, but it actually happened.
