216: Moment of justice

He explained the alley leading to the Sanctuary, the appearance of the Sanctuary's gate, and the environment within the alley to Li Fuyou.

Li Fuyou, however, turned pale, revealing a look as if he had seen a ghost.

Seeing this expression, Jia Gu Yi Yan and Shui Yuqianxi understood.

This guy definitely knew something.

“It seems you know something. Tell me obediently, or else...”

Jia Gu Yi Yan seemed to be immersed in the feeling of saying such lines.

Shui Yuqianxi, who was beside him, initially felt that such lines greatly damaged the image of an Armored Warrior.

But after hearing them more often, she actually felt a strange sense of coolness.

“Stop wasting words with him. If he doesn't speak, this Mermaid Miss will break one of his legs first.”

Shui Yuqianxi was excited inwardly, but her expression turned cold and stern as she uttered this cool line.

Mermaid Miss has been led astray by the detestable second-generation.

Perhaps it was just her true nature, buried deep within her heart, awakening.

“I'll talk, I'll talk!”

Seeing this, Li Fuyou quickly spoke.

He originally thought these people were drug traffickers or triad bosses involved in human trafficking.

Now, it seemed he had thought too little.

“This matter involves a legend; it's not a secret.”

“The older generation living in Foshui Ci Town should have all heard of this legend.”

“I also heard about it when I was a child.”

“An alley that only appears at night in Foshui Ci, a non-existent alley, the Ghost Alley.”

“At night in Foshui Ci, one must absolutely not walk through small alleys. Once someone mistakenly enters the Ghost Alley, that person will never reappear.”

“He will be devoured by the Ghost Alley, disappearing from the human world forever.”

“Inside the Ghost Alley, it's pitch black, you can't see your hand in front of your face, and you can only grope your way forward by feeling the walls.”

“And at the end of the alley is the house where Granny Ghost lives. Granny Ghost sells human livers, human skin, human lungs, human tongues... inside the house.”

“If you mistakenly enter the Ghost Alley and want to get out alive, you must buy something from Granny Ghost.”

“Otherwise, you will be trapped forever in the Ghost Alley, cut open and sold by Granny Ghost.”

Li Fuyou said these things as if he were telling a horror story.

If an ordinary person heard it, they would indeed treat it as a regular horror story.

Even Li Fuyou himself clearly just regarded this horror story as a legend.

But in the ears of Shui Yuqianxi and Jia Gu Yi Yan, it was not that simple.

It was obvious that the story of the Ghost Alley and the Sanctuary that traded Monster Power were clearly the same.

The origin of this story was very likely the tale told by someone who had mistakenly entered the 'Sanctuary' and then came out.

“Where did you hear this story?”

“I heard about it when I was very young; everyone was spreading it. I don't know who specifically started it.”

“In any case, that was decades ago. The person who made up this story is probably dead or no longer in Foshui Ci Town.”

That was indeed the case.

“In that case, take us to find that Ghost Alley tonight.”

“Huh!?”

“Do you have an objection?”

“No, none.”

Looking at the male and female fiendish duo in front of him, plus the small, white-headed reserve.

He strongly suspected that these were two fiends, bringing a reserve fiend, using him as training material for nurturing a young fiend.

“I'm a bit hungry.”

“This Mermaid is also a bit hungry.”

“In that case, Li Fuyou, take us to the most expensive place here!”

“Right, if the price of a meal doesn't meet the price in this Mermaid's heart, you're finished.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan and Shui Yuqianxi each spoke a line, cooperating perfectly.

Mumen Se, who had just been born not long ago, pondered. So this is what Armored Warriors are like.

Although she didn't quite understand, she would try her best!

“Of course, you're paying!”

Mumen Se thought hard and added a sentence after the voices of the two fiends.

Jia Gu Yi Yan and Shui Yuqianxi simultaneously looked at Mumen Se, then exchanged glances.

‘We forgot there was a child.’

‘Even if we corrupt the Mermaid, we can't corrupt the child.’

The two sets of armor, Fire Finch and Sea Spirit, let out sighs of relief.

Foshui Ci Town at night did not have the tranquility of an ancient town.

Instead, it was brightly lit, with lantern festivals held along several rivers, earning money from tourists with cheap paper boats and lanterns.

As for Jia Gu Yi Yan and Shui Yuqianxi, they naturally had no opportunity to enjoy the lantern festival.

Mermaid Miss probably didn't have that much spare money to play either.

They specifically looked for sparsely populated and dark places, searching for the Ghost Alley that might appear.

Li Fuyou, serving as their tool, felt a chill even though he didn't believe in the existence of the Ghost Alley.

Shui Yuqianxi and Jia Gu Yi Yan specifically chose to walk through deserted and dark places.

Making Li Fuyou's teeth chatter.

He now regretted immensely why he had extorted that young couple during the day.

Of course, it wasn't that he regretted his wrong actions.

Rather, he regretted that this behavior had attracted this pair of fiends.

It was impossible for someone like him to recognize his mistakes and feel remorse for them.

As time passed, the surroundings grew darker.

People also became fewer, and the air grew quiet.

At this moment, walking through the pitch-black alleyways between ancient houses, listening to strange insect chirps, a chilling wind blew from the alley entrance, licking up their trouser legs towards their bodies.

Li Fuyou.

He was truly a bit scared.

He was good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong; this situation was clearly not within his area of expertise.

“Hey, isn't that enough?”

“It's so late, continuing to search will probably...”

“What do you think?”

Shui Yuqianxi spoke with a smile.

Although her smile was truly beautiful, under the reflection of the environment and moonlight, with her fair skin and calm smile.

Li Fuyou was a bit frightened.

Just then, Mumen Se stopped.

Her face was solemn, and her white hair fluttered.

Li Fuyou's legs trembled slightly.

“Someone's ahead, one person.”

“I sense him. It seems he's been waiting for us here already.”

“To dare to come out and intercept us alone, don't be careless.”

Shui Yuqianxi and Jia Gu Yi Yan simultaneously stood at the forefront.

And in the darkness ahead, a figure slowly floated out.

He floated in the air, his face pale and ferocious, his white robe drifting, sharp nails extending from his sleeves.

His legs hung beneath his clothes, pale with a bluish tint.

“I died so miserably!”

“Ah ah ah ah!!!”

Li Fuyou let out a pig-like shriek, trying to scramble away.

Jia Gu Yi Yan and Shui Yuqianxi didn't pay attention to this guy.

Mumen Se, meanwhile, activated her spatial ability with interest, creating a 'ghost wall' space, preparing to give this guy a good scare.

This girl, expressionless, was unexpectedly dark-bellied.

“Is it a monster?”

“Probably. This Mermaid is seeing this kind of species for the first time.”

The two met the vengeful spirit floating towards them, simultaneously taking out their Summoners from their pockets and pressing them to their waists.

The Sea Spirit Record flipped rapidly, and Orca M and Shark M shot out from it, transforming into sea beasts.

Then, both of them drew cards.

“Sea Spirit Armor / Fire Finch Armor!”

Click-clack!

“Combine!”

In an instant, water and flames, one on the left and one on the right, simultaneously covered their bodies.

After the flames and water receded, Fire Finch Armor and Sea Spirit Armor were simultaneously summoned.

Li Fuyou, caught in the 'ghost wall', sat on the ground, mouth agape, eyes wide, watching all of this in disbelief.

Jia Gu Yi Yan: “Now it's group beatdown time.”

Shui Yuqianxi: “This Mermaid won't talk about martial ethics with monsters.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan / Shui Yuqianxi: “Let's go together!”
