The night is dark and windy.

A faint, rotten smell permeated the entire campus.

The occasional appearance of wronged spirits keeps everyone on edge.

Su Yu didn't go far; she simply moved a small stool and sat by the door, holding a wood-chopping knife in her hand. Anyone who dared to approach her was cut down with a single stroke.

Xuanji leaned against the headboard, silently watching Su Yu.

The emotional breakdown she had anticipated did not occur.

Even if she occasionally manipulates one or two disgusting vengeful spirits to try to ambush Su Yu, Su Yu can easily neutralize her attacks.

This situation has been going on for almost three hours.

Other players would probably have already put down their axe and just wanted to die quickly.

Why didn't Su Yu?

She doesn't seem that strong at all.

Xuanji closed her eyes and rubbed her aching chest.

The successive losses of power caused her long-dormant ailment to recur.

"I need to use some of my own power."

When Xuanji opened her eyes again, they were empty.

She left this body as a spirit, preparing to open the exit and dig out her own corpse from the wall.

However, the instant her soul left her body, a low-quality soul stone, neither too big nor too small, hurtled straight at her.

Xuanji snorted coldly and removed the fan that was used as decoration on her hair bun.

"The wind is coming!"

A fierce black wind swept up the menacing soul stone and retaliated.

bang——

The two forces collided in mid-air, and the soul stone immediately shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions like black meteors.

"Lord Ghost King, I've long admired your name! Why don't you dare confront me face to face, and instead resort to such underhanded tricks?"

Miss Ghost King's voice sounded as distant as if it were a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

She said lazily, "Using underhanded tricks, isn't that basic tactic for ghosts and monsters?"

Xuanji sneered and said, "I forgot that you are not quite the same as us ghosts and monsters. At least, the bad things you have done are hundreds of times more bad than mine."

"Oh? Thank you for the compliment."

The Ghost King laughed heartily.

"A ghost that doesn't do bad things isn't a good ghost."

As she spoke, she picked off even more soul stones and hurled them at Xuan Ji with a series of crackling sounds.

She couldn't enter the space where Xuanji was, but she had ways to make Xuanji give up.

Bullying?

When it comes to bullying people, no one can surpass the Ghost King.

Xuanji remained calm and deflected the Ghost King's attacks one by one.

Looking at those inferior soul stones, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that these stones were... pried off her wall?

Xuanji did not question the Ghost King, but quickly closed the exit passage and returned to her physical body.

How abominable!

In just a few minutes of contact, she lost another ten percent of her strength.

"I have to eat something to nourish myself."

For her, the best food was the souls of those who were desperate and wronged.

But the wronged souls who remain by her side now have long been tormented to the point of numbness, and have lost even the feeling of despair.

Eating these numb, wronged souls is like chewing wax; it has no flavor whatsoever.

At the moment, Xuanji had no better choice but to eat a little, and she had to eat it secretly to avoid being seen by Su Yu and the others.

"Having an owner keep watch at night is just wonderful."

Sosia suddenly lay down on Xuanji's bed in a carefree manner and even pushed her further in.

"Leave some extra space so I can get some sleep too."

Xuanji: "..."

Her face darkened as she glared fiercely at Sosia, that big-breasted, brainless guy.

Sosia looked completely innocent and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Xuanji gritted her teeth, then instantly put on a smiling face: "It's nothing, it's fine to sleep together."

You dare climb into my bed like that? I'll eat you up in a minute!

……

……

The night passed quickly.

Su Yu, who had been keeping watch all night, yawned.

With the ghost-shaped mints keeping me energized, I wasn't particularly tired.

She glanced back at everyone in the room, her gaze settling on Xuanji.

Xuanji slowly opened her eyes, her gaze dim and her expression desolate.

With Sosia beside her, she couldn't eat at all.

She now possesses less than a third of her original strength.

She was just hungry, so hungry she felt dizzy, so hungry she wanted to eat everything in the house.

However, she couldn't even secretly devour the nightmare beside her; she could only endure it until dawn.

Sosia hadn't slept at all. She turned to her side and asked with feigned concern, "Hey, didn't you sleep last night? You look so haggard, like a ghost has drained your life force."

Xuanji silently got out of bed and walked towards the door.

Su Yu didn't stop her, but let her go.

"In my opinion, this guy is Xuan Ji."

Sosia's words made everyone in the room tense, especially the little sand girl: "Master, what should we do? What exactly does she want to do?!"

Su Yu shook her head, indicating that she couldn't figure it out.

"Calm down, and don't say anything rash."

Last night, when Xuanji's soul left her body, Su Yu actually sensed a slight disturbance. The direction from which the disturbance came was most likely the location of the exit.

Unfortunately, the anomaly lasted too short a time, and she had no way of knowing where it was coming from.

It would be great if we could do it again.

If she does it one more time, she'll be sure.

The longer you stay here, the more obvious your inner darkness and all sorts of negative emotions will become.

Even Su Yu, who remained composed, had a voice echoing in her mind... "Die, die! Living is too tiring, death is the end..."

What's the point of living?

One of the survivors, a little girl, was muttering to herself.

"It would be better to be dead; at least you'd find peace in death."

As she was saying this, the survivor next to her gave her a hard knock: "What are you thinking? With Miss Su protecting us, we'll definitely get out of here alive."

"But isn't Miss Su just sitting here waiting to die?"

Her emotions completely collapsed.

"Sooner or later we will become those ugly, disgusting, wronged souls, a pool of foul-smelling black water... Waaah..."

She covered her face and wept.

Just then, Su Yu stood up and walked towards her.

Su Yu held the wood-chopping knife high in her hand.

The sharpness of the knife and the coldness in Su Yu's eyes reflected each other.

Su Yu asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Do you want me to tear you to pieces, or do you want to shut up now?"

The survivor in front of her, who was crying incessantly, was so frightened that she could no longer cry.

Su Yu made a harsh statement: "Listen up, everyone else too. If anyone wants to die, come find me, and I'll let you experience the most painful way to die."

"Then I want to die too, Miss Su, what are you going to do to me?"

Xuanji, who had somehow circled back, stood against the bare door frame, looking at Su Yu with a half-smile.

"Will they really tear me to pieces?"

344. I won't be soft-hearted!

Su Yu turned around to look.

Xuanji smiled and walked towards her.

With each step she took, her appearance would change slightly.
