Chapter 6 What exactly are you?!
In a daze.
Xu Qianyan found herself standing in the elevator.
Unlike ordinary elevators, this elevator is now filled with a strange black and red aura, like a microwave oven.
The girl felt short of breath.
Her mind was filled with all sorts of memories she didn't want to recall.
My sister looks seriously ill...
Lu Wuxin's expression of utter despair...
The gossip and isolation from classmates at school...
And then there was that bizarre attack, where the older sister shielded herself tightly, even though she was covered in wounds...
Ahhhhhh—
The young girl's mind simply couldn't withstand such an impact.
"I'm just a piece of trash..."
"I can't do anything right..."
"Even now... he's still holding Wuxin back..."
……
……
She found herself already in tears, her collar soaked.
The elevator indicator lights kept changing, and the numbers kept climbing; we were about to reach the top floor, the 100th floor.
And when we got there...
I was about to jump...
"What do you think it felt like when that person jumped?"
Xu Qianyan suddenly remembered what the boy who jumped into the elevator shaft had said.
Right, if I were to fall from a height of over 300 meters... what would I be thinking during that weightless experience...?
Recalling the corpse I had just seen downstairs, and the horrific state she was in…
If Wuxin saw me transformed into that state...
No way...
But even if she thought that way, she couldn't break free from the strange control she was under.
Ding!
The elevator stopped.
"Have we reached the top floor...?"
As the elevator doors slowly opened.
Xu Qianyan's body moved out involuntarily.
She walked through the corridor, where there wasn't even a green safety light, and it was filled with suffocating darkness.
Xu Qianyan staggered through the door leading to the rooftop.
In that instant, darkness turned into gloom.
She arrived at the rooftop of the Loheng Building.
This is also a staircase café, filled with exquisite white tables and chairs.
The night view of the surrounding city came into view, and the view from 300 meters above was spectacular.
Due to the strange influence of the supernatural realm, the once bustling city is now eerily silent, with hardly any lights on.
The night wind was biting, making the rooftop look like a lone sail on the sea, intensifying the fear in one's heart.
In stark contrast to the pitch-black earth was the terrifyingly bright moon in the night sky. Even more terrifying was the grotesque ghost floating before the moon, dressed in black, with blood-red hair and a ferocious face.
The eerie aura emanating from the ghost made it hard for Xu Qianyan to breathe.
This was the most bizarre thing she had ever seen...
However, the incredibly powerful ghost floating in mid-air showed a look of terror before Xu Qianyan did.
"Who! Who's there?!"
Xu Qianyan had no idea what it was shouting.
The next second, Lu Wuxin, who was wearing a suit but had a full beard and a disheveled look, appeared behind her.
Smelling Lu Wuxin's secondhand smoke, Xu Qianyan suddenly became much more sober.
"Disloyalty..."
Although Lu Wuxin was unkempt, she still felt incredibly at ease.
Lu Wuxin patted her on the back, and the girl stopped walking towards the fence.
Xu Qianyan sensed that Lu Wuxin had just injected a surge of power, which clashed with the strange power within her body.
"Who are you? When did you get up here?" the ghost demanded.
It had no idea when Lu Wuxin had come up.
However, after calming down, it suddenly burst into laughter again.
"I thought some mysterious expert had caught up with us!"
"Turns out it was just a B-grade piece of trash!"
"What? I easily outmaneuvered those two B-ranks downstairs, what good are you coming up here alone?!"
It roared eerily, gathering the strange power surrounding the Rohen Building, making its influence on people's minds even stronger.
In that instant.
A flood of memories, enough to shatter his mind, also surged into Lu Wuxin's mind.
……
drop by drop...
That was the sound of equipment in the intensive care unit.
Xu Yiyan, pale and emaciated, was lying on the hospital bed.
This is the scene that Lu Wuxin least wants to recall.
After all, this would tell him that Xu Yiyan was already dead.
"Hehehe..."
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
Lu Wuxin burst into laughter.
"This is hilarious... My wife goes on dates with me every day, what's the point of showing me this kind of illusion?!"
"Right, honey?!"
"Mmm~!" Xu Yiyan nodded gently, her hands behind her back.
This moment.
The A-level ghost was so frightened it almost lost its soul.
I hadn't seen it a moment ago, how did it suddenly appear?
"You...you...you...what exactly are you?!"
Xu Yiyan is beautiful, wearing a pretty dress and with a sweet smile... but she is terrifying in the eyes of ghosts.
It didn't know how to describe it, but it just felt terrified.
"What...what's that behind you?!"
Lu Wuxin ignored it.
Instead, he threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground.
"Yiyan, I promised you... I would protect Qianyan well."
Lu Wuxin looked up with a ferocious expression, his features distorted to the point of being far removed from people.
"You dare to try and kill Qianyan right in front of me!"
"You're trying to spread rumors that my wife is dead!"
"Hehehehehe—"
The ghost was so frightened that it floated five meters higher.
At this moment, it's hard to tell who's the real oddity.
But the next second, Lu Wuxin returned to normal and appeared very calm.
He paused for a moment, then spoke to Xu Yiyan.
"In short, although it's only recently been promoted to an A-rank anomaly, it's still an A-rank..."
"Moreover, it has become one with this domain, and I cannot deal with it with my own abilities alone."
Lu Wuxin turned around with a sorrowful expression.
"I might not be able to confess my feelings to you for several days..."
Xu Yiyan raised her slender, fair arms and hugged Lu Wuxin's neck from behind.
"You confess your feelings every day, it's sickening. What's wrong with delaying it for a few days?"
"Wife..." Lu Wuxin choked up.
At the same time, Xu Yiyan's body suddenly became transparent. She floated in the air like a fairy, but her arm was still linked with Lu Wuxin's.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yiyan's body transformed into photons and disappeared into Lu Wuxin's body.
The process was very peaceful.
The photons formed a constellation pattern, flashing on Lu Wuxin's body.
Nothing earth-shattering happened.
But this only made the ghost more terrified.
Just moments ago, Lu Wuxin had been looking dejected, with unfocused eyes and acting erratically, but now his gaze was intense, as if he were a completely different person.
This feeling... is like one day a notorious mental patient suddenly seems perfectly normal.
...On the contrary, it's even more frightening.
"Ahhhhh—"
The ghost planned to strike first, gathering a large amount of eerie power, intending to wipe out Lu Wuxin in one fell swoop.
A red whirlwind then swept across the rooftop.
The tables and chairs on the rooftop were all blown away.
But Lu Wuxin remained unmoved, only the hem of his suit jacket fluttering in the wind.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Wuxin took out the dagger he had picked up downstairs.
The moment he raised his hand, a powerful force emerged from his body.
It was a force that was completely calm yet incredibly powerful.
Although Lu Wuxin appears to be a B-level ability user on the surface, the energy within him is so powerful that even ghosts cannot see the end of it.
The ghost was terrified, and he was about to launch an all-out attack.
But then I suddenly realized...
On the rooftop of the Loheng Building, everything seemed to have been paused.
The tables and chairs that had just been overturned, the flowing air, the drifting dust... everything was frozen in place.
...Is this time stop?
Such powerful abilities nearly scared the ghost out of its human form.
It has nowhere to escape.
immediately.
Lu Wuxin gently swung his dagger, cleaving out a massive spatial rift that tore the ghost to shreds.
bang bang-
With the boss of the Mysterious Realm defeated, the entire Mysterious Realm began to collapse.
The night sky above us presented a breathtaking sight, as if glass had shattered.
The night sky shattered, reflecting the brilliance of the Milky Way.
This is even more spectacular when viewed from the Loheng Building.
The curse on Xu Qianyan was also removed.
Having witnessed the whole thing, she looked at Lu Wuxin, who had one hand in his pocket and was looking up at the moon, and didn't know what to say.
After all, she had seen the white phantom on Lu Wuxin just now...
That figure really does resemble my sister...
"Brother-in-law..." Xu Qianyan said cautiously.
Lu Wuxin turned around with a smile on his face.
"Qianyan, your sister is going on a business trip for two days, so you won't be able to play with her for the next two days."
Xu Qianyan looked at Lu Wuxin's strange, forced smile.
He nodded subconsciously.
"Um……"
