【abyss】.
The moment she heard those two words clearly, a roar went through her mind, as if someone was hitting her skull from the inside out with an axe.
At the same time, countless wails and howls filled Su Luo's ears. Gradually, the sounds became clearer, turning into curses, wails, accusations, and reproaches, like evil spirits emerging from the eighteenth level of hell, trying to drag Su Luo down with them!
I feel so bad.
I felt short of breath, as if I were about to drown.
What happened? Just two words were enough to leave her completely defenseless?
Not only Su Luo, but Zhao Jinlai beside her and the one-eyed man who had been watching the commotion were also somewhat surprised. They never expected Su Luo to react like that after Zhao Jinlai said those two words!
Clutching her chest and crouching down, Su Luo felt the world before her begin to feel strange again. Thick blood filled her vision, and the axes and hammers that had only been carving in her mind began to spread all over her body, as if trying to break through her body and escape.
"Zhao Jinlai, what have you done? She looks like she's about to explode and die!" One-Eyed walked over tremblingly. A thick stench of blood filled Su Luo's entire body. Spider cracks began to appear all over her body, like broken porcelain, and scarlet blood was flowing wildly from Su Luo's body.
"I...I don't know!" Zhao Jinlai waved his hand. "I only said those two words, and this is what happened!"
The situation was completely beyond their expectations. Just as Zhao Jinlai was about to help Su Luo up to go to the center of the Ghost King City to find a personal ghost doctor, Su Luo, who was about to break apart, suddenly stopped destroying himself. He stood up as if nothing had happened, raised his hand to touch the blood at the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look at the two ghosts beside him with surprised and worried eyes.
What are you doing, looking at me like that?
"I, we..." Zhao Jinlai managed to speak, looking at Su Luo, who seemed to be soaked in blood, and asked, "Sister Su, are you alright?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Su Luo raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, then rubbed her eyes in disgust, only to find that her palms and the backs of her hands were covered in blood.
"This is so troublesome, do you have any paper?"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Jinlai nodded, his mind not quite clear, and even ordered his men to quickly bring a clean set of clothes for Su Luo to change into.
"Sister Su, you really don't remember?"
"Remember what? [The Abyss]?"
There was no time to stop him; Su Luo uttered the word "Abyss." They thought the unbelievable things from before would happen again, but after a minute or two, Su Luo was unharmed. Zhao Jinlai and One-Eye breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance. If it weren't for the blood-stained clothes, it would have seemed like they had just imagined what they had seen before.
No, it might not be an illusion!
Zhao Jinlai suppressed his thoughts. He didn't tell Su Luo or One-Eye that he had sensed the aura of a strange creature on Su Luo the moment he touched her.
It wasn't the familiar aura of those strange creatures; if I had to pinpoint a specific one, it was very similar to the aura in the Abyss!
It cannot be said, I dare not say, I cannot say!
Having learned from this experience, Zhao Jinlai and One-Eyed did not do anything out of line again. As they turned to lead the way, they did not see that behind them, a faint glimmer of light was emanating from the long black coffin-shaped hairpin that Su Luo wore in her hair.
He took Su Luo straight to the large villa palace that had been arranged for her in the Yellow Springs Ghost King City!
The ancient-style garden architecture combined with European-style carvings is incongruous yet surprisingly harmonious. Inside, according to Zhao Jinlai's guess, there are beautifully cleaned and trimmed eerie creatures. The food is prepared according to the highest standards of human cuisine. After all, it is a city of eerie creatures, and the chefs' skills are not those of gourmets.
It seemed that what happened that day was really just an accident. Afterwards, Su Luo felt no discomfort and had no injuries. Regarding that memory, Su Luo only remembered Zhao Jin saying the word "Abyss" before looking at her anxiously, as if something had happened to her.
But in reality, nothing happened to her.
In light of the branch store matter, Zhao Jinlai took Su Luo to the site for on-site inspection. The execution was so swift that the store was already vacated. It was located in the center of Huangquan, near the Ghost King Palace, which is also a place with a high density of ghosts.
During this time, Zhao Jinlai helped deliver several hundred more wandering ghosts and spirits. As soon as those ghosts and spirits heard that there was a place to rent with a discount for the first month, they immediately stepped forward to sign up.
The reason why the Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts are called Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts is that, apart from their low abilities, the biggest difference is that they do not have a ghost city to rely on.
Without the Ghost City as their main support, they would naturally be able to catch wild monsters anywhere, and no powerful forces would come looking for them. For them, having a Ghost City as a foothold would be an enormous temptation.
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you now possess six hundred wandering spirits and ghosts. You have been awarded the title: Little Ghost Village, and gained 2000 points.'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the Little Ghost Village title. The Ghost Village defense system has been upgraded once. Once activated, it can withstand 24-hour attacks from four-star ghosts, or the equivalent of a bombing raid by a hundred drones (including but not limited to such firepower, a direct exchange of firepower).'
It's pretty good. Now the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City has a defense system. At least we don't have to worry about any ghosts getting jealous and coming to attack us out of ignorance.
As for her own Ghost City, it has already left the beginner village, so naturally it cannot continue with the previous name. She is not royalty, nor does she care about royalty. The Nine Nether Ghost King City is history. What exists now is the Luo King City.
After spreading the news of Luowang City, Zhao Jinlai sent his steward to Luowang City, formerly known as Jiuyou Guiwang City.
Now that a branch has been opened in the Underworld, Luo Wang City, as his territory, will naturally not let it go. Su Luo even announced this news to the world through the Ghostly Object Channel.
In an instant, some low-level monsters that had not been accepted by the City of Monsters before were all eager to try and take the opportunity to enter the City of Luo and get the protection of the City Lord of Luo.
After all, who doesn't know the prestige of Lord Luo these days? Even the royal family has fled. Although he's just a human, he's not afraid of anything.
A month later, after Su Luo had almost finished handling the matter of the Huang Quan cooperation, Zhao Jinlai sent a visiting card, arriving uninvited.
"So polite?" Su Luo looked at the visiting card and glanced at Zhao Jinlai teasingly. His intuition told him that Zhao Jinlai was a little different today, as if... he was worried.
He was worried.
“In the past, when we discussed shops, we just came in directly. Today… is there something special?”
Zhao Jinlai was impressed by Su Luo's keen observation; it seemed nothing could escape her notice.
"There is indeed something wrong."
"Sister Su, do you remember the [Abyss] I mentioned to you the day you came?"
