After the older brother read out his name, a note with his name on it appeared on the pack of cigarettes and the braised pork knuckle.
"Thank you for the information, Brother Huo. I'll be going now."
"and many more."
Brother Huo called out to Su Yu, then turned back into the house, took out a dark red soul stone the size of a sparrow egg, and threw it directly through the window.
"You might find this useful, so I'm giving it to you."
Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly reached out to take it.
"Thanks."
The girl dressed in women's clothing looked up and saw the scene of things being thrown from upstairs. She seemed to finally understand how to throw what she was holding to Su Yu.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and flicked it.
Su Yu quickly caught what she threw at her.
She wouldn't have bothered looking at it, but when she did, she was shocked.
This is a soul stone that is completely black!
Moreover, the quality is extremely high; you can't see a single impurity or crack inside!
What's most striking is its size.
This piece is as big as a fist...
The man on the sixth floor was also stunned when he saw the soul stone.
He seemed unable to believe that there could be a soul stone of such quality here, and even more unable to believe that the madman would throw such a valuable thing to an ordinary human like Su Yu.
"This is terrible."
Brother Huo was amazed.
"Little girl, keep this safe. Its value is immeasurable!"
Su Yu nodded solemnly.
She gave the girl in red a grateful look.
However, the other person just stared at her blankly, completely unable to communicate with her.
"I am leaving."
Su Yu thought for a moment, then took out a bag of lollipops from her backpack and threw it at the girl.
Despite being covered in injuries, the other person was agile and quickly caught the attack.
Like an animal, she savagely tore open the wrapper, stuffed one of the lollipops into her mouth, and crunched on it.
Sugar crumbs covered her hands.
She raised her hand to the sky, gazing at the glittering fragments.
"I don't know if she likes it or not."
Su Yu shook her head helplessly.
"I hope she likes it."
……
……
After leaving the Soul Mansion.
Su Yu woke up quickly.
In his pocket were two newly acquired soul stones.
She took out the previous piece as well.
All three soul stones were placed on the pillow.
Just as she was pondering them, that ethereal voice that had once echoed over Wuliang City rang in her ears.
"The random interrogation according to the City Lord's Code has begun. City Lord Su Yu, please be prepared."
Su Yu sat up straight immediately.
In his mind, the voices of the Demon King and Ryoko reciting their lessons also rang out.
She had a very clear understanding of all the knowledge points at that moment!
The first two questions were very mundane; one asked for the name of the street, and the other asked for the name of the building.
However, the third question made Su Yu feel the presence of a trap.
Question: If you and your loved one had to die today, who would you choose to die for?
Su Yu was shocked: "What kind of devilish question is this?!"
Please answer within half a minute!
No, this is not part of the city lord's rules at all.
Su Yu listened silently to the ethereal voice counting down, her face grim.
"Please answer immediately!"
As the countdown drew to a close, the questioning voice grew increasingly fierce.
"Lord Su Yu, please answer immediately!"
"Failure to answer will be considered a wrong answer, and you will be immediately stripped of your position as city lord!"
Su Yu snorted coldly and said, "Then let me die?"
After answering, she heard a system notification, informing her that the blessing of Inari God had been used once.
"Today's random interrogation according to the City Lord's Code has ended. Given your choice to sacrifice yourself to protect your loved one, the City Lord's light will, for the rest of today, envelop and protect all those you love and those who love you—but only within the territory of Wuliang City!"
Only then did that ethereal voice completely disappear.
Su Yu was stunned for a long time...
"So, was this third question actually a perk I received?"
So, at this moment, besides the Demon King and Ryoko, who else is in Monora Castle?
239. You guys are responsible for pushing the towers, and the city lord is responsible for providing buffs!
At this moment, there are far more people in Wuliang City than Su Yu imagined.
While she was vacationing in the Ghost King's Palace, everyone else was still playing a game, including Officer Zhao and Yan Rubing.
To deal with the tomb owner's escape this time, Old Zhao brought all his life-saving items, spent all his ghost money, bought a bunch of talismans, and supplements to replenish ghost energy.
Before he came, he had even written his will.
Yan Rubing's expression was quite unpleasant when she saw that this man, who was almost sixty years old, was still working so hard.
She immediately refused his request to keep his will.
“I’m telling you, you don’t need to do this. This isn’t the real world. Even if you become a hero, no one will know.”
"But some things always need someone to take the lead."
Old Zhao smiled憨厚ly.
"Besides, doing good deeds doesn't require others to know about it; it's all about following your heart, isn't it?"
Yan Rubing snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and walked past him.
She would never agree with Lao Zhao's words or his lifestyle.
In this world, only by surviving and bringing everything from here back to the other world can there be meaning.
If you die here, you'll only become a wandering ghost, the kind that will never have enough to eat.
She will not change her mind for anyone—not in the past, not now, and not in the future!
Most of the people in this group knew Yan Rubing's temperament.
So, seeing her walk in the completely opposite direction from them, no one dared to stop her.
However, after Yan Rubing walked away, the two interns quietly approached Lao Zhao.
"Officer Zhao, are you sure we don't need to worry about Sister Yan?"
"Let her be. I understand that she's upset."
Old Zhao had no other options.
“What happened back then was a huge blow to her, and I also bear some responsibility for how she has become the way she is now.”
The interns were unaware of Yan Rubing's past and dared not ask, so they simply withdrew silently.
At this point, their first stop was convenience store number 444.
"You all go in and check in first, you know the rules, right?"
"Ok!"
Old Zhao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and gave three cigarettes to each person.
He looked at these hotheads with concern and warned them again, "Keep a low profile! Once the cigarette is out, you must leave, regardless of whether the deal is completed or not!"
"Yes! Don't worry, Master!"
Old Zhao patted them on the shoulder.
"After you finish checking in, take the sightseeing bus to the next location. We'll meet at the club entrance in two hours. Make sure you remember the time, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Master!"
After watching them enter, Lao Zhao decisively took out a uniquely designed motorcycle from his backpack, got on, twisted the throttle, and drove directly towards the Ghost Club.
