You and I have been staying in the mortal realm for a while now, and our clothes and appearance have become more and more like those of modern people.
On this day, we are chasing a woman who is possessed by resentment.
The woman seemed to sense something before we even arrived and fled first.
This is the first resentful force we've encountered with an escape instinct in all these days. This resentful force has grown considerably over the past few days, and if left unchecked, it will become an adult.
Now I finally understand what You meant when he said that adult-level resentment is not easy to deal with.
You and I chased after her as fast as we could, and finally caught up with her in an old residential area.
"Wait a minute, something's not right." I stopped and looked at my ex-husband's woman.
The woman wore a white dress, her long black hair cascading down to her waist, but she wasn't wearing shoes. Her once fair feet were now covered in blood. She leaned against the wall, motionless. The woman who had just been running away so fast was now lifeless.
I cautiously took out my magical artifact, a black fire poker, and with a slight frown, strode forward to check the situation.
I naturally followed suit, ready to use the fire stick in my hand to extinguish the resentment at any time.
When I first saw the woman, I noticed something was wrong. The woman's description of being leaned against the wall was more like she was glued to it.
You was a little ahead of me, already standing in front of the girl, his face cold and indifferent as he said, "The resentment has run away, and the person is dead."
"What?" I quickly ran a few steps to the girl.
Sure enough, the girl's pale face was lifeless, her eyes were tightly closed, and the inside of her body, which was leaning against the wall, was frozen to the wall with ice.
This... this is the work of resentment on purpose!
You looked up and glanced at the even deeper alley ahead.
"Did they run that way?" I pointed in the direction You were looking.
"Mm." You nodded slightly.
After receiving a positive reply from You, I wanted to go and chase after her.
Unexpectedly, You grabbed my wrist and said, "Stop chasing, we can't find it."
"What should we do then? Just let him escape?" I was getting impatient. This resentful force had clearly grown up and become intelligent. If we let it continue to develop, it would be even harder for us to catch it.
"No rush. If it wants to survive, it will definitely need to find another host and harm people. If it takes action, we will know its movements." Compared to my impatience, You was extremely patient.
"Alright." I glanced once more at the deep alley and gave up the search, turning back to look at the girl who had already passed away.
The girl was extremely beautiful and looked to be in the prime of her life. She died so inexplicably in the most beautiful years of her life.
I felt a little sorry for her, so I used magic to melt the ice binding the girl and then used magic to gently place her on the ground, waiting for the next passerby to find her and report the incident.
"Let's go, let's find the next one." I clenched my fists. We had to hurry, or another innocent life would be lost.
As we stepped out of the secluded alley, a familiar lotus flower drifted down from the sky once again.
You and I locked eyes, and then the God sent a letter.
A golden lotus slowly swayed in front of us, and You infused it with a trace of magic.
The golden lotus slowly bloomed, and once it was fully open, the familiar face of the deity appeared before us.
"Di Jun, Nü Xin".
The two land deities beside me were startled when they heard the strange man in the sky call out Di Jun's name, and they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The god's familiar voice, appearance, and opening remarks, "Now is the crucial moment to close the entrance to resentment. You will immediately follow this golden lotus to reach your destination."
You and I exchanged a glance. Immediately? What should we do with the resentful force that just escaped?
But the God's golden lotus wouldn't wait for us. After the God finished speaking, this time the golden lotus didn't disappear with the wind like last time, but slowly closed.
Once the closure is complete, it will be time for Jinlian to lead us away. I quickly turned to Shalin anxiously and said, "You must keep an eye on the vengeful spirit that just escaped, but you must not confront it. It is very dangerous."
“Yes,” Shalin and the other land deity quickly replied.
As soon as I finished speaking, Jinlian closed her eyes and slowly floated into the air.
You and I leaped forward and followed closely behind Jinlian. Jinlian's speed was just right for You and me to keep up with.
As we followed Jinlian, the air around us grew increasingly cold and gloomy.
This is heading north.
Jinlian was flying steadily in the air, but suddenly she began to slowly descend.
"You, it seems we're almost there." I turned to You beside me and said.
"Hmm." You nodded slightly, her eyes filled with worry as she looked down.
"Xin'er, if anything happens later, just stay by my side."
"Okay, sure." I nodded.
The situation was obviously not good. We had already lost track of a nearly adult vengeful spirit, let alone the passage connecting to it. I knew it was extremely dangerous without You even having to say it.
After giving me her instructions, You stopped talking, but then casually took my hand.
They were getting closer and closer to the ground, and they could vaguely see the scenery on the ground.
Below, it can be described as a truly barren land, with yellow sand filling the sky and not a single patch of green for miles around.
The further we went down, the more we could feel an extremely strong force below.
The arrangements made by the deity are truly extraordinary.
In the short time I was stunned, the figures below became vaguely visible. The first person I noticed was the Emperor of Yingdu with his striking long, curly, sea-blue hair. The rest were naturally the bald monk, Luo, Liu Lieyu, and the three Venerables.
Everyone's here, except for You and me.
The golden lotus had completed its mission, and after spinning a few times in the air, it dissipated into nothingness.
Yuya and I stood steadily in front of the three venerables.
"We have met the three Venerables." You and I said in unison.
"Get up." The deity waved his hand, without asking why we were so late.
After the deity spoke, I carefully looked around and noticed the huge black hole in front of me.
A large black hole suddenly appeared in mid-air not far from the God. The other side of the black hole was pitch black, but if you looked closely, you would find that although it was also black, the blackness on the other side seemed to be moving, and you could vaguely see it constantly changing.
This is. . ?
I gasped, and then I could see it clearly.
On the other side of the black hole, there are countless resentful forces struggling and pushing each other, trying to step into our side. How can there be so many?
I was startled and instinctively took a few steps closer to You.
I thought no one would notice my subtle movements.
"I never expected that Nüxin's personality would change so completely, that she would actually feel fear." The one who spoke was the God.
I looked in the direction of the deity, but the deity did not look at me; he was only looking at the black hole in the sky.
