Xu Ying, trapped in an endless nightmare, opened her eyes.
The light shining through her eyelids was so blinding that she felt dizzy for a moment before she woke up.
Just at this moment, Xiao Wu came over, looked at Xu Ying, and gently patted her cheek, his tone was quite gentle, "Are you awake?"
Xu Ying paused for a second before she could see the person in front of her clearly.
Xiao Wu's figure came into view, clearly outlined as a silhouette. Xu Ying's pupils suddenly contracted, and her weak hands slightly raised to grab Xiao Wu's sleeve.
Her throat was extremely dry, and the slightest sound she made felt as if rough sandpaper was rubbing against her throat. It hurt as if she was coughing up blood, but Xu Ying still stubbornly made a few weak sounds.
"No, don't kill..."
The sound behind was so quiet that a normal person might not be able to hear it clearly. But Xiaowu had good hearing and understood it clearly. She paused, gently lifted Xu Ying's head, and pointed her in a direction, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Xu Ying's eyes widened again.
At this time, she was finally not so anxious. Her throat also recovered a little, no longer feeling dry and sore. She hesitantly grabbed Xiaowu's hand, "You, didn't... didn't you?"
Xu Ying's words were vague, but Xiao Wu was very perceptive and of course knew what Xu Ying was thinking. She sighed, looked at Xu Ying very directly, and told her, "Not yet. It was going to die, but Yuan Yuxue stopped it—"
Xiao Wu looked at Xu Ying's suddenly relieved expression, paused and continued to ask, "So Sister Xu Ying, do you want to tell us why we can't kill it? And why do you want to protect a ghost and conceal its existence?"
…
Xu Ying leaned her body, which was about to fall apart, against the chair. Holding the hot water Xiao Wu handed to her, she nervously took a sip, moistening her throat that was as painful as a crack, and silently quenching her dry thirst.
On the other side, the ghost whose head and body were separated was guarded by the players using props. As for the other ghost, it was treated better, but not much better, and was also guarded by the players. And now its eyes were still staring at the man, as if as long as the restraints on it were loosened, it would run out and die with the man.
Xu Ying looked at the ghost, then at the player, her face full of guilt.
Especially when she saw Yuan Yuxue's dark eyes staring at her calmly, her eyes became sore, and she turned away in embarrassment, saying in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."
"It's not that I'm uncooperative, I just thought it would be a good thing if you weren't involved." Xu Ying unconsciously clenched the hot water cup in her hand, staring at the mist. Her palms were burned red, and she didn't even remember to move away.
"..." Yuan Yuxue looked at her and said calmly, "There is nothing to do with it."
“That’s our mission.”
This statement was made with great respect for the facts - but Xu Ying lowered her eyes, looking lost and distracted, and it was unclear whether she heard it clearly or not.
But now the problem is half solved... Although Xu Ying didn't see with her own eyes how Yuan Yuxue subdued the evil ghost, but seeing the man whose head was cut off and separated from his body, she had a correct understanding of the players' strength, so she honestly admitted it at this time -
