Su Youzi, You Can't Escape

The stars were overturned and churned.

The world seemed to plunge into darkness in an instant.

The pale mist smiled eerily, letting out a childlike laugh.

They watched Su Youzi.

They eroded and devoured Su Youzi's sanity inch by inch.

Hahaha—

Hahahaha—

We're back—

Su Youzi.

A certain trait extremely similar to "Erosion" was lodged within Su Youzi.

It was another gift Yarai Kenha had bestowed upon Su Youzi, apart from her "Bewitching Bones."

In almost an instant, Su Youzi's will was on the verge of being completely devoured.

So sweet—

For the first time—

For the first time, Su Youzi felt that she was this close to death.

The goddess of
