185 Demons within Part 3

"Still not feeling at ease?" Su Lin continued drawing circles on the ground with her long slender finger and asked Wang Yu without lifting her head up.

She wanted to cheer him up but really there was nothing one could say to someone who had lost their entire family.

No amount of words can ever ease that pain of missing their loved ones.

Wang Yu nodded slightly. His gaunt figure still looked lifeless and dull, but there was a subtle hint of peace in his faded grey eyes.

Su Lin stopped her circle calligraphy and grabbed the bag full of orbs closer to her. She stared at it for a few minutes before turning towards Wang Yu.

"Can I suggest something to you? It might not help much but it can at least give you some sort of purpose to your new life."

Wang Yu curiously looked at her.

The woman sitting next to him right now was literally a god descended from the heavens, but she was talking to him as if she was his next-door neighbor who was consoling a grieving father.

He couldn't help but chuckle slightly at this ridiculous situation.

"Do you know what these orbs have?"

Wang Yu nodded. "I heard you mention that they contain souls of dead people."

"Yes. They do contain souls of dead people."

"This world of ours is very biased. A few people coincidentally tapped into the deep dark secrets of the universe and they are exploiting the weak and ignorant."

"Like for example, the Qin family. They must have stumbled on to the ancient art of necromancy."

"They have only barely scratched the surface but look at the havoc they have wrecked."

Wang Yu nodded, listening seriously. Of course, he agreed with everything she said. He himself was a victim of these vicious hidden powers.

Su Lin who was casually talking suddenly looked at him with her eyes cornering his tired figure.

Her aura shrouded her gaze freezing him in place, and then her voice boomed in the silent mines.

"If you wish I can impart you the authentic ancient art of necromancy."

"It is a dark and devious art second to none in power and strength. Any mortal or immortal even at the highest power level can still stumble and fall to the nasty necromancy tricks."

"But only someone with a mind and heart that cannot be corrupted can handle this horrendous craft."

Wang Yu revealed a slightly confused expression. So Su Lin explained a bit more.

"Someone who has kept his inner demons at bay and survived for years together with a pang of crushing guilt that would have sent countless others to commit suicide can definitely go on this path."

"But I do have one condition. Swear to me that you will only ever capture the souls of the sinners and the murderers. If you can promise me that, I can impart you this ancient art."

Wang Yu stared at her in utter disbelief and amazement. How did she know??

He had already lost any and every materialistic interest in this world. In fact, he was not even sure that he wanted to continue living after this.

His sole purpose of struggling in this mortal prison was his vengeance. But now, with what she said, he felt as if his life had a new purpose.

Just like his family, there should be several others who had met with an unfortunate ending for no fault of their own.

These monsters hiding in the shadows are far too powerful for normal government and police to handle.

Even the death of this own family was ruled out as a freak accident.

Maybe he can't clean out all the trash in this world, but as long as he could take out some, he would be content.

Wang Yu smiled. His tired face revealed a gentle smile after years. He didn't talk much. He didn't reply to her question.

He simply said, "Thank you."

Su Lin smiled as well. She was happy that this stubborn man in front of her had accepted her help.

She closed her eyes and lifted her thumb up.

Some sort of a white translucent mist swirled around her thumb finger, as she slowly extended it towards Wang Yu and imprinted it on his head.

The next instant Wang Yu's eyes zoned out and he shuddered as he entered into a trance-like state. A huge volume of arcane information was flooding his mind.

Meanwhile, back in Hangzhou city:

A tall slender woman with arousing long legs and a porcelain-like face smiled playfully as she dragged Su Han towards her favorite store in the mall.

She looked extremely eye-catching and elegant, but at the same time, her cleavage was tastefully revealed making Su Han unable to dump her just yet.

Maybe because he was influenced by Shi Meng, Su Han never had any real interest in dating.

He was only on this blind date because this mother forced him and gave him an ultimatum.

But at least he was still better than Shi Meng. Though he was out on a date with this woman, he would never consent to marry her if he wasn't truly interested.

Even back then, he tried to advise Shi Meng to take a stronger stance.

In hindsight, so many unfortunate things and unpleasant memories could have been easily avoided if only Shi Meng didn't act like a robot and agree to marry Su Lin for namesake.

Even if his grandfather and his mother were pressuring him, he still should have had the moral compass to stand his ground and defiantly oppose the marriage that he wasn't interested in.

How could have an intelligent man like Su Han not learned from his best friend's mistakes?

That is the reason why this date was going to end in another half-an-hour. Maybe even the next day morning. But he would never agree to marry her.

Unbeknownst to the thoughts in her companion's head, Mo Xin chirpily dragged Su Han around the mall to the recently popular cosmetic store.
