I did not choose to go to the Taoist Association or the Taoist temple, but returned to the apartment that Wu Shi and I rented.
I went inside, and the room still smelled nice. It was a homemade home aromatherapy diffuser made by Wu Shi, who said it was good for regulating one's breath.
However, we are rarely at home.
Lately, all his assignments have involved long trips, and Wu Shi hasn't gone out alone at night anymore.
I pushed open Wu Shi's door. The door wasn't locked. I looked around at his belongings in the room.
A wooden desk, a bookshelf against the wall, a brand-new-looking sofa, and his bookshelf full of medicine bottles.
"Why is there no medicine that can repair the soul..." I muttered to myself.
My thoughts were out of my control, and strange ideas started to emerge.
How could there be a medicine that can repair the soul? I'm afraid I'm really going a bit mad.
I picked up and put down the medicine bottles on the bookshelf. I didn't even know what I was doing. I just felt that these things were everything to Wu Shi.
I still remember the first time he almost lost his life, he collapsed at the doorway covered in blood.
The first time I entered his room, the first time I applied medicine to him, was also the first time I came into contact with this man.
He is not good at expressing himself, but he is very meticulous in his actions.
He wasn't strong, but he was willing to go on adventures with me.
Our relationship started rather abruptly. Whether you call it a tacit understanding or a premeditated plan, the attraction between us didn't require anything extra.
Looking at the empty room now, I feel a little anxious. This room shouldn't be empty except for me.
I went to the bathroom, pulled out the bronze sword from my back. The blade was covered in thick blood and emitted a foul odor.
I cleaned the bronze sword thoroughly, then stared at it in my hand, lost in thought…
Am I still me?
This question began to linger in my mind.
I was originally an ordinary girl from a small county town. Among ordinary people, I was probably the least outstanding one.
What's so special about me is that I'm smarter, more studious, and more diligent than others.
After all, the entrance requirements for universities in Shanghai are not low, and I entered that university with relatively excellent grades.
At school, I was an inconspicuous person, but what am I doing now?
Just a dream completely disrupted my destiny.
I am grateful to my master and mistress for taking care of me. If I were an ordinary person, I could live a peaceful and stable life.
But how could I be willing to be an ordinary person? I am a demon. This is the path I chose, and it is also my path of no return.
Finally, the demon tore off its disguise, revealing its sharp fangs. This is right, this is right...
I looked at myself in the mirror; to be precise, I was staring at myself.
The reflection in the mirror shows a harmless, ordinary person.
But I know the mirror is deceiving me. My inner voice tells me that I look monstrous right now, that this is how it should be, that this is how it should be, that this is how it should be, the devil!
I walked back to my room and looked at the talismans still scattered on my desk.
What is the purpose of this talisman?
These talismans were like waste paper in front of the wandering zombie.
If I want to get rid of that zombie, I must discard everything I currently possess, as these things are useless to the zombie.
"Shi Jiu, I need you, come quickly..."
I have many mysteries to solve. I know that if I want power now, I must go through one person, and that person is Shi Jiu.
It seems to know a lot, so it will definitely be of help to me.
As long as I can avenge Wu Shi, I don't care what it is, whether it's a demon or something else.
This is what I owe him, and I must repay it!
He once said he would protect me without hesitation, and he did, but I didn't make any promises to him.
But I want to tell him that I will do anything for him, so that he can feel at ease and happy.
The matter is not over yet, the enemy has not been eliminated, and there is still so much I can do. Once everything has settled down, I will seek a way to awaken Wu Shi.
Thump, thump, thump
A knock sounded at the door; it must be Shi Jiu arriving.
Just as I expected, Shi Jiu's appearance was no different from that of a human at this time, and the naked eye could not see his true appearance at all.
This appearance may also be how he looked when he was alive.
"I need to speak with you, Shi Jiu. I want to know, is there anyone here who can help us?"
Shi Jiu was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what I meant.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to..."
I sat on the bed and looked at Shi Jiu, my gaze never leaving his eyes.
When Shi Jiu saw me looking at him, he lowered his head.
"I mean, is there anyone in the world who can help me?"
Shi Jiu was somewhat surprised, and his words became hesitant:
"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?"
"Shi Jiu, how big is the gap between you and You Jiang?" I asked with great interest.
Shi Jiu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment:
"To be honest, I have never fought against You Jiang. I only know that You Jiang has strange abilities and specializes in attacking the soul. However, its physical strength is also extremely strong. It can be said to be somewhere between a spirit and a body, and it is almost immortal."
"My physical abilities are among the top five in the zombie category, but my soul is a bit lacking. I'm afraid I won't gain any advantage against upper-level zombies."
I nodded. I knew this was a bit difficult for Shi Jiu, since both the Drought Demon and the Wandering Zombie were top-tier zombies.
