The 'Player' in the Next House (130171)

"A soul-summoning ritual can be performed, but the body is incomplete. Some bones are missing, the Soulfire is extremely unstable, there are many wounds on the body, and there is still some strange aura emanating from the body that has not been dealt with."

Whether it's summoning spirits or Undead Transformation, there's an 80% chance that what you'll get now is Ghost.

That's a bit of a waste.

Gu Xi a thorough examination of Grand Princess Anna's body, Grand Princess Anna condition has now been confirmed.

It's a little worse than I initially imagined, but not by that much.

It's usable for Gu Xi, but it would be wasteful to dispose of it now.

After confirming the situation here, Gu Xi was no longer in such a hurry.

He returned Grand Princess Anna's body to Evilwood Lake, indicating that the purification and preservation of the body could not be stopped.

After dealing with the matter, Gu Xi glanced back at his remaining 19 points of mana, and finally stood up.

"Forget it, let's go back to sleep and recover our magic power. If this keeps up, I'm about to unleash the Death Avatar."

Gu Xi muttered something to himself, then walked out and left the Aryadovi City.

The next instant, Gu Xi appeared in the Tenshukaku of the Wudou Family.

It has been more than a day and a night Gu Xi this news, and now it is just past midnight.

As soon as Gu Xi appeared, Wudou Meina quickly walked over.

"You're back. The bathwater is still warm. Let me take a bath with you, or how about we go soak in the hot springs outside?"

"Wait, is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

When Gu Xi returned to Aryadovi City, he had spoken to Wudou Meina about it, so it's quite normal that Wudou Meina would be waiting for him here.

"Yes, please wait a moment Gu-san."

After saying Wudou Meina hurriedly went downstairs to prepare food.

Gu Xi opened the door of the Tenshukaku, walked out into the corridor, and looked at the outside.

The area was unusually quiet tonight; the Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night that Gu Xi had witnessed the night before did not appear today.

Meanwhile, nothing unexpected happened nearby, and a rare moment of tranquility descended upon the night.

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing in her face, Gu Xi felt so comfortable that she wanted to close her eyes.

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from behind, Wudou Meina walked in carrying food.

Gu Xi turned his head and realized that he had underestimated the appetite of Wudou Meina.

He thought the breakfast portion was small enough, but he didn't expect the late-night snack to be so small as well.

This is a late-night snack, something I ate because I was hungry at night and wanted to fill my stomach. Is this food even edible?

A quarter block of tofu, drizzled with soy sauce, three sheets of nori with four plums on top, and a small dish for dipping soy sauce, with a little sake in it.

After placing the food on the railing of the corridor, Wudou Meina whispered, "Please enjoy Gu-san."

Gu Xi's face twitched slightly. "Hey, Meinai, I wanted to ask, do you usually eat this much? Aren't you hungry?"

Wudou Meina thought about Gu Xi's question seriously for a moment, and finally shook her head.

"I won't be hungry. I usually stay indoors and don't need to go anywhere. This is all the food I need."

Gu Xi stared at the Wudou Meina a moment, then picked it up and started eating while changing the subject.

"Isn't that the family you said all died over there? Why is the Tenshukaku lit up today?"

"During the day today, their heirs came over. They were the original owner's four grandsons: a high school boy and three girls."

I've met them; one just graduated and started working, one was in high school, and one was in junior high.

They were said to be the children of the owner's four daughters.

I've never seen this before. This was because something happened to the family, and they were notified collectively to come and collect the inheritance.

When the gossip from next door started, Wudou Meina immediately perked up.

He told her everything he had found out yesterday.

"Gu-san, you may not know this, but the reason their family was able to find a suitable heir so quickly is because there is a stone in their basement that seals a demon. It needs to be suppressed by someone of the same bloodline. If no one suppresses it, something terrible will happen."

Now, only four of the main family's bloodline descendants remain. This is a warning to us.

"Is the stone that seals the demon the Sessho-seki from your local legend?"

Gu Xi was somewhat curious.

"How could that be? The Sessho-seki was broken into nine pieces, and each piece has its own destination. Every year, people keep an eye on those nine pieces of the Sessho-seki, fearing that something might go wrong and release the Nine-Tails inside."

If this really seals the Sessho-seki, then this entire street around here would probably be deserted.

"What's going on?"

Gu Xi stared curiously at the spot not far away, pondering whether it was worth his time to buy it.

"It seems to be a Western-style demon, but I'm not quite sure which one it is... I..."

Before Wudou Meina could finish speaking, an explosion suddenly came from the house they were talking about.

Then Gu Xi flipped over and jumped onto the roof of the Tenshukaku, looking in that direction.

He discovered that a male spirit dressed in thermal underwear was floating on the roof of the house's Tenshukaku, constantly firing Spirit Bullet to strike back various demons that tried to approach their house.

Most of these demons are Ghost, and they are the kind of Ghost that look like mochi in Japanese style.

The man's spirit was quite powerful; he could shatter the Ghost with each strike.

However, Gu Xi soon discovered that as the Ghost was defeated, a red or yellow aura would enter the man's spirit body.

At the same time, subtle changes will occur in the man's body.

It's not obvious now, but Gu Xi can imagine that after a while, the man's spirit will turn into a red-skinned being with sharp horns on its head and bat wings on its back.

Isn't that the Demon Warlock from Cold Leaf City? Could someone be hiding right here?

If it were other demons, they might not even bother with it.

But it's different for players.

Gu Xi flipped over and jumped off the roof, grabbed a piece of tofu with soy sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Open the door for me, I need to go and take a look."

"Okay, wait, Gu-san, at this time..."

"Just open the door, it won't bother you."

Wudou Meina then realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to order those below, "Open the gate."

Gu Xi hugged Wudou Meina, then flipped over and jumped down from the top floor of the Tenshukaku. The next instant, the Evil Coffin appeared at Gu Xi's feet.

Gu Xi gripped the iron chain on the Evil Coffin tightly, lowered his head, changed his clothes into the robes of a necromancer, and, carrying the Cold Wind Staff, quickly rushed out of the Wudou Family's Tenshukaku.
