"Let's change it. Apart from this, do you have any other worries?"
Boy: “No.”
Su Yuening has a headache.
"How about you think about it again?"
"You must be troubled by something. I can help you!"
The boy glanced at her and said, "Your leaving Evil Town will be the greatest help to me."
Su Yuening: "..."
Okay, we can’t communicate any further.
She kicked the cracked earth beneath her feet. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she saw a hint of strange red in the tiny cracks.
This red is dark, very much like the color of dried blood.
"There are less than two hours left before nightfall. During these two hours, I hope you can leave on your own."
The handsome young man in black robe glanced at the azure sky from afar. In his slanted almond-shaped eyes, there was a faint desire, suppressed to the extreme, so faint that it contained a deep sadness.
Su Yuening withdrew her gaze from the ground and looked into the distance.
The sky is boundless and looks particularly distant.
"If you want to get out, why do you stay in this remote place?"
Most of the towns she knew were small, with only a few hundred households at most.
The young man stood there quietly, but his heart trembled because of Su Yuening's words.
Longing to go out?
Desire indeed.
But neither he nor they could go out.
They cannot bring bad news to innocent people.
"You can't run around in Evil Town, so you should stay here."
The young man didn't look at Su Yuening again. He had to go back and prepare some food to prepare for the evening...
Su Yuening looked at the boy's back in astonishment, "Is there not even a place to stay in this town?"
"No."
"Leave quickly, outsiders are not welcome here."
The boy covered his chest and coughed a few times.
He opened his hands and saw a pool of red blood. His calm eyes flickered slightly.
It's getting worse.
If I continue like this, I don’t know if I can control the impulse by night.
The scene in front of him was a little blurry. The boy covered his chest and walked towards home with difficulty.
At this moment, a voice echoed in Su Yuening's mind.
[Ding! Triggering the sign-in task, please sign in once at "Evil Town"! ]
[Quest Reward: Skill, Spirit Purification Technique × 1!]
Evil Town?
Su Yuening turned around on the spot. She was now in the town of evil.
This mission...
It seems fake.
Simple ones won’t work.
"System, sign in."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully! ]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the mission reward, the Spirit Purification Technique! ]
"System, check the properties of the 'Purifying Spirit Technique'."
This was the first time Su Yuening received a skill-related reward, and she couldn't help but be curious about its attributes.
[Skill: Spirit Purification
Grade: SSS+
Introduction: The most mysterious skill in the legend, capable of purifying all negative states in the world! 】
Eh?
Very short introduction.
Su Yuening stared at this grade for a long time, "System, what is SSS+?"
“Is it the same as a divine item?”
【It's different, SSS+ far exceeds the divine product. 】
Su Yuening took a breath.
It is stronger than divine items, so this skill can be called invincible.
What does it mean to reward her for such skills at this critical moment?
Could there be something strange going on in the evil town?
Su Yuening pursed her lips, looked at the boy's back as he was about to disappear from her sight, and suddenly chased after him.
Instead of staying where you are, you might as well take the initiative.
—
The boy's legs were a little stiff. Although he was not far from home, he still leaned against a withered apricot tree to rest for a while.
cough.
Recurrent coughing.
The fishy and sweet taste in my throat rose up.
His brows were stained with an extremely sickly look, his head was drooped, and his half-closed eyes were bloodshot.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The young man raised his head suddenly, his thin lips moistened by blood, a bright red that was enchanting.
"Who asked you to follow me?"
The tone was cold and there was an imperceptible panic.
Su Yuening approached him and asked, "Can I know what happened before your Evil Town changed its name?"
"Or, in other words, what kind of changes have you experienced here that have led to the current state of decline?"
As she followed, she observed the environment along the way.
Very old.
And everywhere is dilapidated.
Some houses have collapsed and no one lives there.
"You don't need to know." The young man wiped the blood from his lips. "Outsiders don't need to know."
"Tell me, maybe I can help."
In her previous life, Su Yuening used her photographic memory to record countless strange stories from the world, including formations, elixirs, and folk remedies for refining weapons. She knew a lot about them.
Except for her weak talent and ability in cultivation, she is almost omnipotent.
The countless knowledge stored in her mind is the source of Su Yuening's strength.
The pink crystal brooch on her chest sparkled.
The boy froze as he was about to get up and leave. He seemed to be moved by Su Yuening's persistence, and the coldness in his tone turned into loss.
"You can't help us. Our whole town... is cursed."
"You will be cursed and tortured for the rest of your life."
"curse?"
Su Yuening's eyes lit up.
Isn't the Soul Purification Art able to purify all negative states?
As soon as the boy finished speaking, the burning pain in his throat made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
The ground was instantly dyed red.
