Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly. “You mean you’re doing this out of kindness?”

“Do you know who those people are?” The voice seemed to be very interested in chatting with Kong Rui, and the pitch of its tone increased.

“You killed them?” Kong Rui guessed again.

“Tsk! 1 disdain doing such bad things! It will damage my reputation!” The voice sounded disdainful. It was obvious that he wasn’t interested in killing people.

Kong Rui frowned slightly. She felt that the other party seemed to be beating around the bush and had no intention of answering her question, so she gritted her teeth and turned to walk back

She had just taken a step when she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her heart.

Kong Rui tightened her grip on her chest again and staggered forward, but almost fell to the ground.

The voice said in displeasure, “You’re leaving?”

Kong Rui knew that the pain was definitely from the other party’s actions.

In other words, everything here was controlled by that voice.

To figure out everything and leave this place, she had to get an answer from the other party first.

Kong Rui turned to look at the dark space again and asked, “Aren’t you going to answer my question honestly? Why should I stay here?”

“Do you think you can leave here safely with your strength?” The voice sounded very disdainful. “From the looks of it, you’ll probably die of exhaustion after taking a few more steps!”

Kong Rui said with a smile, “This is just a space you created. As long as I leave here, I can…”

“Bullsh*t! Do you think those wandering souls aren’t real?” The voice suddenly roared angrily, “Do you think I’d be so bored as to conjure some wandering souls to trick you?”

Kong Rui pursed her lips. “You don’t even dare to show your true face to others. How can I trust your words?”

The voice suddenly fell silent, and everything around them instantly fell silent as well.

The pain that had been gripping Kong Rui’s heart disappeared at this moment.

Kong Rui felt the shadows that were originally gathered not far away approaching her bit by bit.

She was instantly on guard and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

The voice sounded again, but with a hint of mockery. “Are you afraid?”

Kong Rui’s expression darkened as she berated coldly, “Don’t use these poor fellows anymore!”

The voice roared angrily, “Who the hell is using them?! They’re all pitiful people! I’m just protecting them!”

“Protection?” Kong Rui was puzzled.

The voice was low, but it couldn’t suppress its anger. “Those people are too cruel. They devour divine sense in order to extend their lives!”

“I couldn’t stand it anymore, so 1 built this space here to give those souls who still had a trace of their souls a place to stay.”

“However, this place probably won’t be able to protect them for long.”

“Is that why you let me in here? What do you want me to do?” Kong Rui guessed the other party’s intentions.

The other party seemed to be a little hesitant, but after a while, he still said, “I can’t continue to protect them. You…”

“I can sense both the aura of spiritual power and demonic power on you. You can definitely protect them!”

Kong Rui wasn’t persuaded by the other party’s words. Instead, she asked warily, “How do you know this? Who are they? Why should I protect them?”

After being questioned by Kong Rui, the other party seemed to be a little impatient. “If you want to find evidence that the queen and the Li family have ties to the Demon Clan, these people can help you!”

Kong Rui’s expression turned cold. “How do you know all this?”

The person said,, “You don’t have to ask about that! Just tell me, are you willing to protect them or not?” His tone softening a little, he added, “If you’re unwilling, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll let you leave.”

Kong Rui didn’t hesitate this time and replied decisively, “Alright! I’ll agree to your request! But…”

“What other questions do you have?” the other party asked impatiently.

“You have to tell me how to protect them! After all, humans and ghosts are different. I don’t have the ability to protect these souls!” Kong Rui growled, somewhat dissatisfied with the other party’s attitude.

The voice immediately explained, “You can definitely do it!”

“They… they will attach themselves to your soul.. If you can reach a symbiotic relationship with them, you can…”
