A monster covered in blisters and emitting a strong, fishy stench staggered in.

"doctor……"

Su Yu was taken aback by the sound.

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before?

The ghost raised its head and looked at Su Yu.

The moment their eyes met, extreme terror appeared in her gaze.

She turned to leave, but Xia Mai had already closed the door.

Su Yu clenched her hands tightly, suppressing her fear and confusion, and asked softly:

"Are you Doris?"

The ghost, whose original appearance was no longer recognizable due to its decaying state, knelt down with a thud the moment it heard the name.

She covered her face, her body trembling, and slowly moved towards the door.

"You must be Doris, right?"

Su Yu had already recognized her.

After many days, the mermaid princess, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared in front of Su Yu in such a dramatic way.

Su Yu didn't know what to say.

But she knew very well...

Doris, standing before me, was on the verge of death.

If she doesn't receive effective treatment soon, she will die in the most gruesome way.

For a mermaid princess who loves beauty, this is definitely a more unacceptable way to die than being torn to pieces.

Su Yu squatted down in front of her.

She tried to reach out and touch Doris's shoulder, but her fingers trembled and she couldn't bring herself to do so.

Doris cried and whispered, "Master, don't touch me, I'm too dirty right now."

"Is it because of the plague?"

"Um……"

Doris took a deep breath and held back her tears: "Master, please let me go. You can have a better servant than a piece of trash like me."

"If you're sick, you should get proper treatment!"

Xia Mai also squatted down in front of her.

"you……"

She wanted to say, "You can still be saved," but after seeing Doris's condition up close, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

The horrific scene before her was something even she, who had experienced many gruesome instances, could not accept.

terrible!

Xia Mai almost threw up.

However, seeing Su Yu's calm and composed demeanor, she could only force herself to endure it.

"Can screaming stop this plague?"

"It's possible, but it would require too much..."

Doris shook her head and sighed, "It's too late, Master, it's all too late."

If it were during the initial stages of an outbreak, perhaps a box of Scream would have solved the problem.

But now, I'm afraid I'll need more than ten boxes!

With the Ghost Club in Mura City having suffered such a devastating blow, it's unlikely that any new screams will be produced anytime soon.

The already expensive screaming machines on the market have now increased in price by at least ten times!

Why go to such great lengths to save a mermaid?

Doris couldn't bring herself to say it.

She wouldn't allow Su Yu to do that either.

"So, besides screaming, is there anything else that can help you?"

"Master, please let me leave."

"Is there really no other way?"

"It's all gone, too late."

Doris let out a soft sigh: "I am already very content to be able to see my master at the end of my life."

She insisted on leaving, and despite Su Yu's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, she still couldn't stop her.

Watching her retreating figure through the transparent glass, Su Yu's face darkened.

"Miss Xia, could you please watch the shop for a while?"

"Yeah, no problem!"

Su Yu opened the door and followed her out.

She followed Doris wherever she went.

Perhaps because she was already terminally ill, Doris was not even aware that she was being followed.

It wasn't until Ryoko suddenly appeared and blocked her path, gesturing for her to turn around, that she realized Su Yu had followed her all this way!

"Miss Ryoko!"

Su Yu looked at the fox in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the fox wore a very sexy, borderline Hanfu today, and even cleverly put on some makeup.

What's wrong with you today?

"It's nothing, just trying to seduce Xiaoyu."

Ryoko gave a sly smile.

"It seems that Xiaoyu likes me dressed like this."

Su Yu: "I didn't say that!"

"I didn't say it that way, but I've already thought it that way."

Ryoko took a few steps forward and looked at the disheveled Doris.

She thought for a moment, then casually took out a talisman and stuck it on Doris's forehead.

"this?!"

"This cannot solve your most fundamental problem, but it can delay your death."

As Ryoko said this, she added, as if it were a lot of work:

"Xiaoyu will be happier if you live, so you must live."

alive?

Doris gave a bitter smile.

She wanted to live too.

Being alive and able to spend more time with one's master, even if it's just watching them from afar, brings happiness to the heart.

"I have tried every possible way to solve this plague."

"So, what methods did you come up with?"

As Ryoko said this, she casually drew two more talismans and stuck them on both sides of Doris's shoulders.

Doris watched in astonishment as the filth on her body gradually receded.

Her original stunning beauty was revealed once again!

"If you really did try everything you said you could, then you wouldn't have let your body fester and hurt Xiaoyu's eyes and heart, would you?"

Ryoko looked at her expressionlessly.

"So, what have you been doing?"

Doris lowered her head and remained silent.

"It seems that all you can do is wait to die."

"No! I didn't! I..."

Doris finally mustered the courage to reveal her deepest secret:

"If I die like this, I can leave my master a crimson soul stone. That way, my master will at least remember my beautiful appearance forever, and he can always keep me with him and think of me. Isn't that good?"

255. Can you even drive on this lousy road?

Snapped--

Su Yu slapped him across the face.

"What are you thinking, you idiot!"

Doris, whose face was swollen from the beating, covered her face, lowered her head, and stubbornly remained silent.

Actually, being hit by your owner is kind of fun.

Do you think I'll thank you after you die?

Su Yu glared at her fiercely.

Do you think you're something special?

"Do you think that by doing this, you can stay in my heart forever?"
