Seeing how these two living souls interacted with Amu, Shen Jue became even more certain of this.

I just don't know if these two living souls have always been there, or if they only existed today.

If it's the former, then she has plenty of time to break the curse.

If it's the latter, then it's only tonight.

Now is not a good time to ask questions.

Because there are some things that are not appropriate to ask in front of her parents.

Shen Jue was unsure whether the curse on Amu's parents would be contagious to Amu.

So, Shen Jue deliberately made an excuse, saying that she was tired and needed to rest, and asked Amu if there was a place to rest.

Amu trusted Shen Jue completely; it was pitch black outside.

Letting Shen Jue leave at this point would certainly not be the behavior of a good person.

Besides, she was the one who invited him. Although she didn't know why her parents didn't like Shen Jue, she still had to show proper hospitality.

"Yes, come with me."

Amu came to the Wind and Sun Tree and touched a branch and leaf.

Immediately afterwards, the originally small Wind and Sun Tree transformed into a series of small houses.

It looks exquisite and compact, and it's just the right size for one person to live in.

"Dr. Shen, you can stay here tonight."

Having gone through many trials, Shen Jue's obsession with cleanliness is long gone, and now she is not picky about her living environment at all.

As long as there's a place to stay, that's fine.

The main purpose of having Amu take her into the room was not to sleep with her, but to ask her some questions.

Under the guise of diagnosis, Shen Jue gradually posed her doubts to Amu.

For example, do you think your parents have changed a lot recently?

When did you realize they had become like this?

Before they became like this, did they see anything special or go to any special places?

"A special place?" Amu murmured to himself.

Shen Jue's words reminded her.

Three days ago, my parents said they were going on a long trip to take care of something.

As a result, he returned home in less than half a day.

When Yun's parents returned, they went straight to sleep without even saying hello.

When they woke up, they had already forgotten her.

It became very unfamiliar.

When her parents learned her identity, their attitude towards her immediately changed, and they became very close to her.

Looking back now, that wasn't intimacy, it was just trying to get close. Why would her parents try to get close to her when they were clearly her parents?

Seeing Amu's thoughtful expression, Shen Jue said no more. Sometimes, too much talk leads to mistakes.

She only needed to guide him slightly, and the rest was up to Amu to figure out on his own. Whether he could figure it out, or even if he did, whether he would expose the two guys who were impersonating her parents, was beyond her control.

Shen Jue wasn't worried about Amu being in danger. If those two living souls could have attacked Amu, they would have dealt with this threat long ago. Why wait until three days later?

Things don't happen more than three times; everything has a time limit. If today passes, Amu might be in danger.

So when Shen Jue saw that Amu had figured things out and was about to find her fake parents to verify, Shen Jue secretly placed a protective barrier card on her, hoping that the card could save her life.

Until we know how to complete this side quest, Amu's safety is paramount.

She can't go out right now.

To prevent the two living souls from becoming suspicious.

After midnight tonight, we'll see if they're willing to lay a hand on Amu.

If she really had to take action against Amu, she needed to figure out how to control those two living souls.
