Chapter 195: Offer Your Soul to Me

The Mass Grave.

Su Mo drifted in a daze, not knowing how much time had passed. Crows landed beside her, tearing at her flesh.

She didn't know why she wasn't dead yet, why she was still clinging to her last breath, forced to feel such despair.

Her entire body had completely lost sensation, as if only a single thread of thought remained, floating aimlessly.

Her hatred remained surging, screaming silently over and over again.

"Su Yan! Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!"

"Tsk, tsk. Some people just lack self-awareness. If you can't win while living, you think you can just do it once you're dead? What a massive joke."

Suddenly, a sharp, mocking voice rang out beside Su Mo.

Su Mo was horrified.

She couldn't even be certain if she was still alive; why could this person hear her inner thoughts?

"No need to doubt. Although you're still hanging on by a thread, you're no different from a dead person. Tsk, tsk, look at you. You really are in a miserable state."

The voice grew closer. Even though Su Mo couldn't even manage to open her eyes, she saw the newcomer with absolute clarity.

It was a man wearing a strange mask, with only a pair of eyes radiating a sinister aura exposed.

"Are you wondering who I am, and why I can hear your hatred?"

The man seemed to possess the power to pierce through one's heart.

Su Mo struggled to scream.

"You are not worthy of knowing my identity," the man said loftily, with a wave of his large hand.

Su Mo finally understood the pain of the soul being stripped from the body.

Every shred of pain was so vivid. If this was death, she would have preferred her soul to be scattered to the winds.

However, she soon felt herself becoming light and airy. What terrified her most was that, looking down from beneath her lowered eyelids, she could actually see her own body.

It was thrown amidst a pile of weeds, stripped naked, her flesh torn and blurred by the pecking of crows.

That wasn't her!

It absolutely wasn't her!

"What, can't handle this already?"

The man looked at her drifting soul and laughed contemptuously.

Su Mo snapped back to her senses, finally realizing the terrifying nature of the person before her.

He could actually see her!

"Save me! I beg you, save me!"

She didn't want to die yet. Her vengeance hadn't been taken; how could she die!!

"You want to seek revenge on Su Yan? Hahaha, you haven't even figured out what kind of existence your opponent actually is. Even if you go, you'll only end up dying a second time."

The man mocked her ruthlessly.

He mocked her lack of self-knowledge and her stupidity.

Deeply provoked, Su Mo lunged madly toward the man.

But in the next second, she was frozen mid-air, scorched by raging flames.

This sensation was even a thousand times more terrifying than the soul leaving the body just moments ago.

Just as she thought her soul was about to dissipate, the man withdrew his hand.

She was both shocked and terrified.

How could such a terrifying person exist in this world!

"With just a flick of my finger, I can make your life a living hell." To her, the man's words were like those of a demon.

She nodded tremblingly, not daring to show even a hint of insolence.

The man seemed to look down upon her current state. "Do you know where you lost?"

Su Mo spoke with resentment, "The heavens have failed me!"

"Wrong. It's because Su Yan is not an ordinary person at all," the man said slowly.

Su Mo froze, unable to understand his meaning.

The man continued with mock mercy, "Su Yan is an Exorcist."

Su Mo felt as if she had been struck by successive bolts of lightning.

"She possesses extraordinary methods; she can easily kill even evil spirits and malevolent wraiths. For a mere human like you to harbor delusions of opposing her is simply seeking death." Looking at Su Mo's rising hatred and hostility, the man finally showed a hint of satisfaction.

"No! She's just a blind girl!"

More than the failure, Su Mo could not accept that Su Yan possessed such abilities.

She roared in agitation.

"If she were just a blind girl, how did you lose your arm? And how did Wang Shusheng end up in that state? These are all Su Yan's methods. In her eyes, you are nothing more than clownish actors. Now that she's finished playing, she has casually sent you to your death." The man's words were like sharp swords, stabbing fiercely into the core of Su Mo's heart.

"No! No!" Su Mo covered her ears tightly, the hostility surrounding her body multiplying several times over.

She absolutely could not accept this as the truth!

But the man had no intention of letting her go. "Do you still want to become a ghost to seek revenge? I'm afraid before you even reach her, you'll be extinguished by her. You know, everything I say is true."

Su Mo let out a deafening howl, startling the birds and beasts into scattering.

At this moment, she was completely consumed by hatred, unable to control herself.

Until, in a daze, she heard the man's voice again.

"I can give you one chance. One chance to take revenge on Su Yan, as long as you offer your soul to me."

"I'm willing! I'm willing! As long as I can kill Su Yan, I'll do anything!" Su Mo roared.

A cold, distorted smile appeared on the face beneath the man's mask. This was exactly what he wanted.

***

Five days later.

Su Yan returned from school to find Su Jianguo sitting in a chair, frowning deeply.

Besides him, Su Yao was also there.

Seeing her return, both men stood up simultaneously.

"Yan Yan, you're finally back. Su Mo has gone missing."

Before Su Yan could speak, Su Jianguo spoke immediately.

Su Yan's expression, however, relaxed. "When did this happen?"

Su Yao replied, "Li Qiuhua went to report it to the police today, and she also went to the factory to look for Second Uncle. She said Su Mo went to a classmate's birthday party five days ago and hasn't returned since."

While saying this, both men were simultaneously observing Su Yan's expression.

"I was at that birthday party too, but I don't know why Su Mo went missing," Su Yan said very calmly.

She likely already knew why Su Yao had come.

After all, she was the last person to have seen Su Mo; with so many classmates present at the time, that fact could not be hidden.

"Your classmates said that Su Mo called you out alone at the time, and after about half an hour, only you came back. Is that right?" Su Yao tried to keep his tone gentle, not wanting Su Yan to feel as if she were being interrogated like a criminal.

Su Yan nodded. "Yes. Su Mo was very emotional at the time and argued with me for a long time; I barely managed to break away and head back. As for where she went after that, I really don't know."

Su Yao and Su Jianguo exchanged a glance. They saw no sign of lying in Su Yan.

As for what Su Mo had been arguing about, they could guess even without asking.

Su Yao frowned deeply. "The problem is that Su Mo disappeared right at that time."

"How could a living person just disappear for no reason? Or perhaps she was in a bad mood and went somewhere to clear her head. You should both know her temperament," Su Yan analyzed as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Seeing that he could get no useful clues from her, Su Yao chatted briefly before leaving.

Only the father and daughter remained. Su Jianguo looked at Su Yan, appearing as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
