Was he a respected commoner?

Or is he just an ordinary citizen?

I couldn't help but savor the big guy's words, while at that moment, he had already been completely sucked in.

This was the last message he left me.

Even in the moments before I was sucked in, I could still hear his ethereal voice in my ear.

It really feels like watching a movie, with sounds coming from all directions.

Having grasped this point, I truly have nothing more to say.

To be honest, if I had actually saved her just now, I don't know what the consequences would have been.

However, I am certain that my power can absolutely counteract the power of this halo.

By then, even if it's not a lose-lose situation, it'll probably be a case of injuring the enemy by 1000 while losing 800 of your own.

I'm not sure if the combined strength of the two of us plus the sword spirit is enough to match this aura.

After all, Grandpa once said that if these things didn't contain too much energy, they wouldn't have been able to be built under certain circumstances.

Given this kind of contract, I estimate that the person behind it is a powerful ability user.

And the energy contained within it is absolutely enormous.

If I had actually helped that man just now, it would not only have clashed with his aura, but it would have also gone against his karma.

Even I myself am getting involved.

It's possible that the "water master" he mentioned will come directly to me!

I can't afford this extra layer of relationship, and I have no interest in getting involved in this mess!

His death was preordained; he had broken the contract, and something would naturally punish him.

As for the help from others or the obstacles encountered, I estimate they were just minor incidents in the process.

Even if I manage to block this halo, or tear it apart with all my might, other forms of energy will come and take it away.

Who told you to be so foolish in the beginning and give away everything you had?

It's too late to regret it now.

Thinking about all this, I briefly shared my thoughts with Yiyi.

Her answer to me was a simple eight words.

If there are faults, correct them; if not, strive to improve.

For a moment, I felt that the girl's image had become much more refined.

Indeed, ever since she first met me, she has always had this rather mysterious or adorable image.

However, I cannot ignore the fact that she is someone who has lived for thousands of years, yes, at least several thousand years.

The girl knows more than I do.

It's just that there are some areas where I might be more familiar with them and have a deeper level of expertise.

I nodded slightly. Indeed, I could clearly foresee this person's fate.

If we also break this contract, I don't know whether the innkeeper or the blue-armored guy from before will be punished.

There should always be one party to make the decision.

I can't let my time be completely wasted if I don't go to the hotel these two days, or I can't let myself die if I don't go to the hotel.

Instead, the hotel owner came back to life?

The only thing he didn't quite understand was his informant, the Water Lord.

According to him, since he can be called the master, why should he enter the game in his own name and sign some kind of contract with this guy?

I really don't understand his specific identity as a contractor. I just can't figure it out no matter how I think about it.

I glanced at Yiyi beside me; the girl also had a rather puzzled expression.

"Brother, since he said that the informant was a civilian and didn't hold any official position, how did he manage to mobilize these resources?"

Upon hearing the girl's words, Lei Jijian chimed in.

"Master, I think this big guy might be lying to us; he looks so drunk!"

I shook my head slightly; he couldn't possibly be lying to me.

Although the man had no expression, I could clearly sense the panic and anxious plea for help on his face.

When I first met him, I was met with arrogance and an unconcealable hostility.

At that time, although he was a ghost and had just finished drinking, he was in a very heavy state.

But in the end, he was sucked in, and for a long time, his body felt light and airy.

If he were in a state of intoxication, his physical condition would certainly not be like this.

It should actually be heavier than when we first met.

He was about to be sucked away by that halo; it was a matter of life and death. Would he dare to lie to me?

Or perhaps it's said that a dying man's words are the most virtuous. I think even if he were drunk or insane, he wouldn't lie at such a critical moment.

Moreover, his wording, "a respected recluse," made me feel even more uneasy.

Just as Yiyi said, there are not many plants, but they are able to mobilize sufficient resources.

That means the water element has a great influence in this shallow layer.

It wasn't just based on power, but on something else entirely.

It is even a crucial element that can manage and influence the entire shallow population.

I briefly shared my thoughts with Yiyi.

Since he's already dead, why would he sign a contract with a living person?

I didn't explain our situation to the man I just spoke to; in fact, we were in the same boat.

This man has many problems, and we will all have to face them sooner or later.

In our case, the deceased hotel owner should have had more leverage.

However, if I think about it from a man's perspective, he is dead, while the water lord is the one who is more proactive!

Isn't this completely upside down?

However, when I tried to ask him about these things, I saw that this big man's body was already on the verge of collapse.

Just as I was about to speak, the person was sucked in.

He didn't even utter the final wail before he was about to speak.

But his words hit me like a stone.

In any case, we now know some things about that water spirit.

At the very least, there will be more information symmetry.

If all else fails, I think we can still pay a visit to the Water Lord!

As the halo closed, the ray of light turned into a faint afterimage, resembling a few fireflies gathered together.

It flew away quickly into the distance.
