    Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Manman (19)

    Is there a god in the world?

    The sun shines into the secret room, and the golden-orange light is filled with dust. The Resentment God drags its slender, volleying back hem to float in the sky. When it sees Li Heru coming, it shrinks into a ball and goes deeper into the room.

    This thing is not threatening enough. At best, it is called a God of Resentment. At worst, it is just a mist.

    Li Heru is a ghost, but she doesn’t believe in God.

    She took a step forward, and seemed to step on something under her feet. With a crunching sound, she moved her foot away, and a small wooden sword broke there.

    “My sword…” A faint wailing sound came from behind the inverted crystal pillar. Chu Yu sat there with his face covered in dust and his teeth bared.

    “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Li Heru said as he stepped forward and grabbed her, looking at her whole body carefully.Good risk, good risk, all beards and all tails, but my face is a little gray.

    She wiped it off easily.

    “I’m fine, it’s just that I was too shocked and scared to come out.” Chu Yu sighed and stood up holding the crystal remains. His legs were weak and weak, and his heart was still beating fiercely in his chest.

    God knows how scary it felt when the wall exploded behind her just now. If this continues, she, a person with an extremely strong psychological quality, will turn into a coward.

    “How did you break open this door?” Chu Yu looked at the big hole with a puzzled expression, “But it’s better to walk quickly, Mei Ning will be in trouble when she comes back.” She dragged her legs over the rocks, and a familiar face approached with a smile.

    It’s like a ghost with a sudden face.

    Chu Yu jumped back violently and jumped out, but his heart remained where he was.

    The man looked stunned and then quickly changed his pitiful posture: “I am Melu, I am here to save you. How could you misunderstand that I am that goddess?”

    Chu Yu caught a glimpse of the large tattoo on her neck, took a long breath, and pressed back the heart hanging outside her body.

    Li Heru joined the conversation at the right time: “Let’s go first. I will explain to you slowly what happens next. Melu is mine, senior sister? Or a colleague.”

    She smiled at Melu, who closed her eyes gracefully, maybe rolling her eyes.

    “He must be an accomplice.”

    Chu Yu followed behind. She was about to go down the spiral staircase when Mei Lu reminded her: “Mei Ning is still furious down there. Are you going to die?”

    Chu Yu stopped and saw Li Heru taking out a piece of white paper from his arms.

    She quickly folded out a paper crane with her fingers and handed it to Chu Yu, “Put your blood on it, take it out the window and drip more blood.”

    The paper crane held its neck high and fluttered. It felt like ordinary paper in the hand. Chu Yu held it carefully and followed Mei Lu to the round flower window at the corner of the stairs.

    “You are really the hero today. Without you, how could the goddess be so angry?” Mei Lu couldn’t help laughing.

    “Bet to smash the doll? She asked for it herself.” Chu Yu thought about it seriously.

    “No, because of you, all her inventory was wiped out, and she also lost two of her generals. Now there is a mess downstairs. All the dolls just moved at the same time, scaring the guests who came from afar.”

    Melu laughed as she spoke. While laughing, she touched her head, pulled out a pin from her scalp, and stabbed it into her fingertips.

    “Here you go.” She handed it to Chu Yu.

    Chu Yu turned his eyes silently, holding the pin in his hand with residual heat. He didn’t know whether the heating tool was Mei Lu’s fingers or Mei Lu’s head.

    She followed Mei Lu’s example, pricking her fingertips with a needle to bleed, and then dripped it on both sides of Zhihe’s cheeks. The drop of blood dripped too much, and the blood slid all the way down Zhihe’s cheeks.

    Mei Lu glanced meaningfully: “Your crane eyes will be very big.”

    “It’s better to be bigger.” Chu Yu said, looking at her narrowed eyes.

    “You look so gentle and silent, how come your mouth is as poisonous as He Ru’s?” Mei Lu waved her hand, and she saw Li Heru coming up with a paper crane from the corner of her eye, and she snorted softly.

    I saw her flipping her long fingers and reciting a string of spells in her mouth. The paper crane in her hand quickly grew in size, and the white feathers reflected the snow like auspicious lights. The crane stretched out its legs and sang loudly. Mei Lu waved her hand and slapped it: “Be honest.”

    She hugged the crane’s neck with both hands, kicked her legs, and jumped down, riding firmly on the crane’s back.

    “See you at the same place!” Mei Lu turned around and shouted, and in an instant, she disappeared.

    Chu Yu was dumbfounded. Li Heru walked around to her, held her fingers with both hands and said patiently: “Follow me, it’s not difficult at all.”

    Chu Yu had some basic knowledge, but after Li Heru’s guidance, he naturally made rapid progress. When he spoke the last character, there was a loud bang, and the crane took shape.

    This guy was very strong. Chu Yu kicked his legs beside the bed and hugged him desperately with both hands. The moment it turned its head, both of them were stunned.

    “You…but it doesn’t affect riding.” Li Heru said with a smile.

    This white crane’s eyes are indeed big, but they are too big.

    Its eye sockets opened along the cheek to the lower jaw, the blood-red skin turned out, and the two rows of striped eyes were like blood and tears, like the messenger from hell.

    Chu Yu rode up with mixed feelings.

    *

    The moment the crane landed, Chu Yu almost vomited out the breakfast the day before yesterday.

    “Ugh…” She squatted on the side of the road. The cramping feeling in her stomach came overwhelmingly, making her brain dizzy due to vomiting. Li Heru gently hugged her and patted her back with his hands.

    “Slow down, just drink some water after vomiting and you’ll be fine.”

    Li Heru’s voice was gentle, and while Chu Yu was dizzy, she noticed an inexplicable sense of familiarity, just like not long ago, she had been soothed by someone patting her back like this, including the timbre of a woman’s voice.

    She tilted her head slightly, and there seemed to be a little girl with a pigtail standing next to her. Her face was full of concern, her thin shoulders were slightly buckled, and her eyes were looking through decades of time.

    A few strands of hair blocked his view. Chu Yu rolled his temple hair behind her ears. Li Heru stood beside her with her waist bent. He noticed her movements and asked with concern: “Are you feeling better?”

    No wonder it looks like an old friend. It turns out that the old friend turned into a ghost.

    Chu Yu straightened up, leaned on her arm and said, “It’s better.”

    The place where Bai He took them was the entrance of A Fei’s shop, but today the door of the tin room was closed tightly, and even the parrot was taken in.

    Mei Lu stood in front of the door and banged on it. She said angrily: “If you don’t want me to take care of you, just open the door!”

    There was dead silence inside, and Mei Lu couldn’t help but kick her feet to vent her anger.

    “You all know each other?” Chu Yu couldn’t help but ask.

    Li Heru looked at the waves created by the kick on the iron door, folded his arms and said, “We are old acquaintances. The three of us used to… have a pretty good relationship.”

    Chu Yu put his hands on his ears and approached her, and Li Heru couldn’t help laughing.

    “We are all Mei Ning’s pawns.”

    After saying these words, Chu Yu’s hand holding her arm immediately became stiff.

    “When I was still a lonely ghost, Mei Ning found me and took the initiative to teach me my skills. The price was to be her willing soldier.

    I had just died at the time, and I was pretty good at retaining consciousness, so I didn’t realize how disastrous this move would be for me later.”

    When Li Heru said this, he sighed, and Chu Yu gently stroked the back of her hand, accompanying her silently.

    “Damn Fei! If you don’t open the door, you’d better be dead! Come in later and ask me to find you’re not dead. I’ll carry you alive into the corpse refining furnace!”

    Mei Lu was still banging on the door. After seeing her ability before, Chu Yu believed that as long as she wanted to, the door would open automatically, and there was no need to go to such trouble to bang on the door.

    But she still repeated the insults and stubbornly called Ah Fei in the most primitive way.

    “A Fei, like me, was deceived by Mei Ning, but she was more miserable than me. She came here alive and left half of her life for Mei Ning.”

    Chu Yu’s heart trembled when he heard this.

    Li Heru continued: “Later we found out that Mei Ning did not seek us out just to make us her subordinates.

    At that time, she discovered a new method of making dolls and urgently needed to find test subjects, and the test subjects had to be willing. She forced us to swear an oath to the ghosts and gods of Arnus and sign a contract… From then on, we became her secret weapons.”

    Chu Yu frowned when she heard the words Arnus ghost and god. She had never heard of such a thing in the country.

    “What is the ghost of Arnus? What will happen if you break the agreement?” No wonder Li Heru had never wanted to come to T country before. Seeing how many people avoided Mei Ning like a liger, they must have defected.

    “It’s the ghosts and gods here, but I don’t believe in them. Gods are spiritual sustenance made up by living people, not mine. Ghosts don’t believe in gods.” Li Heru said.

    At this point, the iron door finally failed to hold up, and a slender figure stepped out from behind the thin door panel.

    A Fei’s face was full of exhaustion, her eyes were covered with silkworm-shaped dark circles. She dragged her legs like a puppet to Mei Lian and knelt down with a plop.

    Chu Yu was stunned, while Li Heru and Mei Lu looked at A Fei expressionlessly.

    “I beg you, please don’t drag me into the water again. It’s really, really not easy for me to escape.” A Fei said in a hoarse voice. Her lips were pale and she didn’t look like a living person.

    Mei Lu leaned against the door, her always smiling face switching to an indifferent expression.

    “You can’t escape. Do you think she didn’t catch you because you didn’t want to catch her? Do you really want to be so mediocre and hide in your sewers for the rest of your life? You are still alive! How many people are you better than just this?”

    Melu’s tone became more serious.

    After hearing this, A Fei looked up at her, his eyes full of pain.

    “You think I want to? Do you know that I use up all my strength just to stay alive!”

    It’s not like you don’t know what she did to me back then. I was really scared. I was so scared that I stayed here for so many years and didn’t even dare to go home. I was afraid that she would anger my family. Do you think I wanted to?”

    As soon as these words came out, Mei Lu became even more angry. She took a step forward and completely blocked A Fei with her body.

    Chu Yu couldn’t see clearly what was going on over there, and felt a little anxious, “Why don’t you go over and take a look? There seems to be a quarrel.” She pushed Li Heru.

    Li Heru looked at the farce expressionlessly. After a moment, she said, “Do you know why A Fei is like this?”

    “I don’t know.” Chu Yu looked at her.

    “Because I don’t believe in Arnus, but she does.” Li Heru pointed at Ah Fei, and the quarrel over there had been drowned out by Ah Fei’s loud crying.

    “People fear God, and A Fei is afraid of Arnus, but she defected from Arnus, so she has been living in fear of Arnus and Mei Ning for so many years. In fact, I think what she needs is not strength, but a psychiatrist.”

    “Because there is no God in this world.”
