Bai Xi's face was also pale. He had just woken up not long ago. When he saw Teacher Zi Gui and the unconscious Lu Yu, he couldn't help but choke up, "Teacher Zi Gui, Teacher Gongsun, he..."

"Don't say it." Zi Gui interrupted him, grabbing his hand and saying, "It's good that you could come back. It's good that you and Lu Yu are both here."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng and Huai Yi were fine, Fatty finally let go of the worry he had been carrying. But when he turned his head and saw Zi Gui and the others' appearance, he felt sad again.

In just a few days, they had lost four companions in a row. Fatty could completely understand their current mood.

"If it weren't for Hei Ying-ge (Black Shadow Brother) taking action, Jiang-ge (Brother Jiang) and I would have been in trouble too." Taking advantage of no one paying attention, Huai Yi explained to Fatty in a low voice, and at the same time, he said with some emotion, "That Bai Xi too, he fell off the cliff, and I carried him up on my back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu in Zi Gui's arms slowly opened her eyes. After recognizing Teacher Zi Gui and Bai Xi's faces, tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't ask any further questions. After discovering that Teacher Gongsun and Han Juanjuan were not by her side, she guessed their fate.

After a moment, she looked around, as if searching for something, until her gaze landed on Fatty, "Mr. Wang," she said, her lips trembling.

Fatty noticed and immediately walked over, squatted down, and said softly, "How are you? We're about to leave. Don't be afraid."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. The yellow cloth you left behind could resist the attacks of the hungry ghosts. I encountered a hungry ghost and was almost killed." Lu Yu stretched out her hand with difficulty, grabbed Fatty's clothes, her eyes red, "Thank you, really thank you."

Seeing Lu Yu like this, Fatty gently patted her hand, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't cry, Lu Yu, it will all... everything will be alright."

But it would have been better if he hadn't said that. As soon as he said those words, Lu Yu cried even harder, as if she wanted to vent all the fear and grievance hidden in her heart.

Teacher Zi Gui and Bai Xi tried to persuade her to no avail. In the end, Fatty stretched out his hands and gently hugged her.

"Cry if you want to." Fatty hugged her with his arms and exerted a little force, "I also have family members who were left in a place like this forever. I know how you feel."

"But you can only be sad this once. You have to grow up as quickly as possible, because only in this way can you protect the people you want to protect." Fatty looked at those red eyes, wiped away her tears, "Lu Yu is a brave person, and you also want to protect the people around you, right?"

"Yes!" Lu Yu nodded, choking with sobs. At this moment, she vaguely saw Teacher Gongsun, saw Chan Li, and saw those companions who had left her forever behind Fatty.

They were wearing clean clothes, looking at her with smiles, their eyes full of hope.

Zi Gui's pupils shrank subconsciously. She looked at Fatty in surprise. Of course, she didn't see those people, but she felt the power fluctuations coming from this man.

But the strange thing was that she didn't feel any threat from this man.

On the contrary, she even felt a burst of warmth.

This was unscientific!

Although her understanding of the doors wasn't as thorough as Jiang Cheng's, she also knew that every door carried on one's back was essentially a curse.

The influence of the door on people was always negative, it was despair, it was a series of indescribable tragedies, how could there be a warm feeling, was it her illusion?

She didn't notice that Lu Yu, facing Fatty, had hope ignited in her eyes.

A strange feeling came, and everyone looked in one direction at the same time. Following the passage they came from, they walked outwards. The moment they walked out of the cave, Zi Gui and the others couldn't help but be stunned. Outside was actually a village.

They turned around, and there was no cave anywhere. Behind them was the big tent before they set off.

Following that feeling, they found a bus stop sign standing by the side of the road.

The sign was very dilapidated, and more importantly, it appeared out of thin air. Not long ago, this was still a Mani pile, everyone remembered it clearly.

The rest was easy for Jiang Cheng and the others. They walked to the bus stop sign and stood there, waiting for the bus to appear. After getting on the bus, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and no one was in the mood to chat.

Jiang Cheng held a golden-yellow cloth in his hand, and inside the cloth was wrapped an exquisite prayer wheel. These were all taken out of the Saintess's coffin, and they emitted a faint luster.

With a "creak," the rusty car door closed, and the two items disappeared.

Jiang Cheng subconsciously looked at the shadow on the ground, and happened to see the shadow open its mouth wide, stuffing something that looked like a large lollipop into its mouth, "Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

……

Hearing that frantic chewing sound, a sentence suddenly floated into Jiang Cheng's mind: Chicken flavor, crunchy.

This time, Wu wasn't polite with Jiang Cheng at all. After eating, he clapped his hands, and the shadow quickly returned to normal. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but swallow, thinking that if he continued to eat like this, the Night Watcher would be eaten up by Wu sooner or later.

This old chairman's bus, which was rumored to be so magical, had now become Wu's exclusive cafeteria. He ate whatever came, anyway, it was all food, and every meal was different.

But then he thought about it, this seemed pretty good too. Wu had been behaving more and more normally recently, and he hadn't heard him give him poisonous chicken soup for a long time. He was actually starting to miss it.

And most importantly, seeing Wu so normal, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

After retracting his gaze, Jiang Cheng noticed with his peripheral vision that Huai Yi was also secretly staring at the shadow on the ground, and so was Fatty. As Wu swallowed the last bite, the two of them stretched their necks, as if afraid of choking.

Just like last time, Zi Gui and the others got off the bus first. Before getting off, Lu Yu ran over to hug Fatty again, telling him to be careful when entering the mission again in the future.

"Mr. Wang, will we have a chance to meet again?" Lu Yu raised her small face, her eyes still with faint tear stains. She felt a lot of reluctance towards this Mr. Wang.

Fatty smiled and touched her head, saying firmly, "Definitely!"

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang, Mr. Huai, we'll meet again someday!" Zi Gui looked like a gentle woman, but she was decisive. She nodded to Jiang Cheng and the three of them, and got off the bus.

Bai Xi looked at the three of them with a complicated expression, and after saying take care, he also left.

The bus bumped along for a while before letting them off.

After getting off the bus, the mist that had been lingering outside the bus dissipated, and everyone's vision became clear. They saw the sign of the studio at a glance.

It was still dark, and the street lamps on the side of the road emitted a half-dead light, like an old man about to take his last breath.

After entering the house and turning on the lights, the three of them sat around the sofa. Recalling their previous experience in the snow mountain, Huai Yi still felt lingering fear.
