C74 (1/2)

Of course I knew she was killed by someone, but I didn't answer. I didn't know what Wu Xiaoli meant by suddenly mentioning it.

Wu Xiaoli added, ”You Lan was in pain when she was a human, but she was strong. She lived in the dirtiest place like an indestructible cockroach. When she was killed, she became a ghost. ”I originally thought that she would be free, but who would've thought that it would still be painful …” Wu Xiaoli took a deep breath and continued, ”She wanted revenge so badly that she became stronger, but in the end, she failed to fulfill her wish and died.”

At this moment, we came to a T-shaped fork in the road. Wu Xiaoli turned around and walked a few steps before saying, ”Her failure to avenge her death might be a regret for all of eternity, but it might be the best way to get rid of her.” Think about it, if she really did take revenge, what would happen after? How should she live after taking revenge? By then, I thought, she would be in even more pain, for the hatred that supported her soul had disappeared, and her soul was left with nothing but emptiness. Emptiness is just like a black hole that can swallow a person's universe of souls. ”

Listening to Wu Xiaoli's words, I didn't know what to say. I felt like my chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.

Wu Xiaoli said, ”But we still have to finish the unfinished business.” At this moment, Wu Xiaoli suddenly turned to me and said, ”Actually, I don't hate you and your Taoist friend at all. Wu Xiaoli suddenly turned to me and said,” Actually, I don't hate you and your Taoist friend at all.

I was stunned for a moment before I slowly nodded my head. However, I was still unable to say anything.

Wu Xiaoli said, ”I would like you to help Youlan fulfill her unfulfilled wish. You won't refuse, will you?”

”But I have no idea who killed her,” I said. ”How am I supposed to find her killer?”

”You don't have to worry about that. As long as you agree, I will help you find the murderer.” Wu Xiaoli paused, then said, ”Also, don't worry. I won't let you kill anyone. This is too stupid.”

I nodded. ”I promise you!”

Wu Xiaoli smiled at me before she turned around and said, ”Let's leave quickly. If we're late, you won't be able to get out of here.”

I followed her and asked, ”Where is this place?”

Wu Xiaoli said, ”A place you shouldn't know and shouldn't come to, so you don't need to know where we are.”

When we reached a crossroads, Wu Xiaoli suddenly stopped. I was about to ask her what was wrong when she suddenly covered my mouth and whispered to me, ”Hold your breath, don't breathe!”

Then she took me in her arms and tried to take every part of me in her arms.

I was stunned for a moment. I could feel her ice-cold body sticking to every inch of my skin. The ice-cold body was like a sharp needle. It immediately pierced through my nerves. I immediately struggled to get out of her embrace. After a second, I stopped struggling and held my breath.

A cold wind suddenly blew from the intersection in front of me. Two men wearing black clothes, with bronze faces, bulging eyes, fierce mouths, and long fangs, floated out from the intersection in front of me.

Behind these two were two teams of people, one of which had a dozen men lined up in a row. These two teams were very disheveled, with hideous faces and shackles on their hands and feet, but when they walked, the shackles did not emit any sound!

Just like that, they slowly floated past my eyes without making a single sound. The chilly wind blew over slowly, causing my face to turn pale and my scalp to go numb.

I was carried by Wu Xiaoli just like that, staring blankly at the two groups of people slowly floating past the intersection. After a long time, I finally dared to open my mouth to breathe.

Wu Xiaoli let go of me and coughed awkwardly before she said, ”It was close. Luckily, my corpse aura covered your body. If they found you, it would be terrible.”

I heaved a sigh of relief. As the coldness of her body lingered in my mind, I asked, ”Who are they?”

”They are not humans, they are ghosts. Moreover, other than the two leaders, the rest are slaves.”

I don't understand. Even ghosts have slaves? What era is it now? The slave system of human society has been abolished for a long time, but the ghost world still maintains such a backward system?

Wu Xiaoli said, ”You have to find something to hide your presence, or they will find you soon. Come, let's go to the right passage! ” After saying that, she quickly walked towards the right passageway.
