He's Panicking Now

Yu Xing, somewhat curious about the Nightmare's perspective, quietly activated her Spiritual Eye.

A deep, dark blue light slowly settled on his pupils like frozen ice, and wisps of black mist instantly filled the old, dilapidated room.

The wisps of thin black mist extended from all directions, passed through the walls, and eventually converged in a certain spot in the bedroom.

"Ah, why is the ghostly aura so strong?" Yu Xing muttered, getting up and walking to the window to look outside.

His Spiritual Eye are adept at capturing all supernatural auras: ghostly energy, deathly energy, bloody energy, even remnants of formations and images formed by resentment.

Therefore, in his eyes, the world was dark and gloomy at this moment, and the black mist in the room was only the tip of the iceberg, while the black mist outside the window was much thicker.

The townspeople were no different from before, walking along their own routines. Some had smiles on their faces, while others hurried along, shivering from the cold. The only difference was that each person had a black mist floating upwards from their body. A small portion dissipated and spread through the street corners and alleys, while most drifted into the sky, forming a dark, oppressive mass that even blocked out the sun.

This is... a ghostly aura formed from a mixture of negative emotions and the stench of death. Just seeing this is enough for Yu Xing to call this town a "ghost town."

But he still couldn't see what the Nightmare had seen; the rising ghostly energy remained illusory, and his Spiritual Eye couldn't see through the reality behind this grand illusion.

Yu Xing wasn't disappointed. Everyone has their own expertise, and the Ghost Tree simply lacked this ability, so there was no point in forcing it.

"Did your eyes gain some new ability without my knowledge?" Sure enough, Hua Subai leaned over within seconds, his tall figure resting against the window, his gaze sweeping over the bustling scene outside before settling on Yu Xing's deep blue eyes.

"Let me guess, blue... it's about psychic abilities, right? Being able to see the aura and remnants of various spirits?"

Some things can be guessed from experience, and you can even guess their purpose from their color, but none of these are absolute.

Yu Xing's eyes were stung by the overwhelming ghostly energy. He dispelled his spiritual connection and replied to Hua Subai in a sarcastic tone, "As expected of Boss Hua, you truly have a deep understanding of the power of 'plants'."

"No, no, just a wild guess. I'd be honored if there were any similarities." Hua Subai Bai was completely unyielding, but when it came to shamelessness, Yu Xing had been influenced by him in the past.

Yu Xing smiled and shook her head, then suddenly recalled what she had seen in the Wizard Cult's crystal ball, and sighed softly, "No wonder they're liars."

It all started with Hua Subai, but he seemed to feel no remorse or struggle. Even when others mentioned Ghost Tree, he acted like an indifferent listener.

Why is it that even the Lingren's reason and soul are constantly being tortured in agony, while Hua Subai doesn't have to pay any price?

The Lingren's deception ended after the fire, while Hua Subai's deception began in the daylight outside the laboratory.

So tiring, one or two at a time.

Today, Yu Xing's emotions have become even more complex, becoming more vivid due to her various entanglements with other people in the world.

The hatred had become less intense and pure, leaving only a sense of destiny for revenge settling before my eyes.

Yu Xing really didn't want to feign friendship with these two monsters like himself anymore. In any case, their suffering was probably coming to an end soon, so they would just have to wait and see who lived and who died.

Why bother now? It's too tiring.

Yu Xing glanced at Hua Subai again, then left the window and went to the bedroom.

Hua Subai smiled and wanted to put his arm around Yu Xing's shoulder to argue with him about how he was a liar again, but this time, Yu Xing happened to walk a step faster and completely avoided his hand.

Many times, Yu Xing was pulled down by him, but it was all of her own free will; otherwise, things would be like this now, where she wouldn't even get a chance to touch him.

Even from his back, Hua Subai could tell that he was "refusing to talk anymore," as if that one word, "liar," had completely killed Yu Xing's interest in talking to him, and even filled her with a tired disgust.

The inexplicable emotion made Hua Subai suddenly feel a little flustered; this was the first time he had ever felt this way.

You can't dislike him!

Hua Subai's spirits lifted, and he immediately recalled how many times he had deceived Yu Xing.

Oh, it seems like it's happened many times, all around the time when Yu Xing was forcibly pulled out of his mental trap by him, and therefore trusted him the most.

Back then, he was having a great time teasing this young man who had transformed from a young master into a monster. He even did some despicable things like tricking Yu Xing into accepting flowers and controlling him. Yu Xing would always get very angry, gradually eroding his goodwill and trust in him. In the end, he avoided him like the plague, afraid that he would do something else.

Even so, Yu Xing still remembered his good points, and treated him more like a stubborn and unruly person who, unable to be corrected, simply avoided him out of helplessness.

When Hua Subai followed Yu Xing, he could also hear Yu Xing saying to others, "I have a friend who likes flowers."

Yu Xing considered him a friend, even her only friend for many years.

That's how the two got along—they were always at odds, but there was a tacit understanding between them. Yu Xing for him was completely different from her hatred for the Lingren.

But...

Hua Subai felt he might be imagining things; it seemed that in that one glance, Yu Xing really no longer considered him a friend.

That's impossible. He never truly disappointed even when he was so Yu Xing before, and he hasn't done anything wrong lately, so how could this be?

Their bond is hard to break unless, without his knowledge, something that laid the foundation for their "friendship" quietly collapses.

Boss Hua blinked and fell silent.

If that's the case, then it's bad.

He is indeed a liar, but some lies are harmless, while others, once discovered, will lead to the downfall of the entire empire.

What exactly did Yu Xing come into contact with during the year she was missing?

The person behind him seemed to be lost in thought, but Yu Xing didn't care. He raised his hand and touched the cold door, but he couldn't sense even the slightest trace of a ghost.

Even though the Spiritual Eye could see it, once the psychic connection was closed, this place became like a completely sealed shell, revealing not a single clue.

The fact that there are tickets required for the event suggests that Nanshui Town is under the watchful eye and interference of some evil god from the Yin Yang City. Which god could it be?

In short, they weren't like the ones he had already guessed.

If it's an evil god you've never encountered before, there's very little information available, but you don't need to think about it.

Yu Xing refocused her attention on the present. The look that Yan had given her earlier was clearly a warning and a plea for help. Even though she could tell that it wasn't a critical situation, Yu Xing wasn't completely indifferent.

Let Nightmare be pulled in to go through the storyline, experience some crises to gather information; it's about time now.

He knocked on the door. "Nightmare? You forgot your necklace outside, do you want to take it back?"
