Vivian's cries gradually stopped after an hour.
She was left alone in the room, and even Kyōko was chased out.
"Seeing her like that,
I feel like I'm giving myself a wake-up call. "With her back against the wall, she saw Kyōko gently closing the door.
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Emotions can create a person, but they can also destroy a person."
"You can't say that." Kyōko showed a conflicted expression.
She reached out and touched her cheek. "Love is still very much worth looking forward to.
Like Su Yu and Jun Saiki before … "
"Me and Saiki?" When Kyōko mentioned this matter, Su Yu's expression was awkward. "Me and him … Are we in love? Not really. But I'm really happy, but can that be called like …"
The expression on the girl's face changed unpredictably.
Kyōko couldn't help but laugh. "Ah, I don't know. Su Yu always likes to hide these things from me.
Every time, she dares to confess after it's over. "
"W-what's the point of saying that? Am I supposed to bring another one with me …" Su Yu's face was full of guilt. She looked around.
She looked around and couldn't help but mutter.
"Kyōko is only in middle school.
Is it really good to be so precocious … "
"I'm not precocious." A gentle smile hung on the brown-haired girl's face. "I believe that good things will always happen."

After dinner, Su Yu stood by the dark window and looked outside.
When he wasn't connected to the other worlds, it was pitch-black outside. The windows that could be opened didn't move at all, as if they were fixed to the space. If there were lights in the room, he would see his own reflection on the reflective glass.
It was a real space outside. It was quiet and soundless. Su Yu couldn't think of any other place to see such a scenery other than her own shop. She put her fingers on the cold windowpane and said faintly, "What's the matter?"
After a moment of silence, another voice sounded in the room. "Aren't you afraid that I'm ambushing you?"
Vivian's figure gradually walked out from the darkness, and her shadow was reflected on the glass.
"I can't think of any reason for you to be hostile to me." Su Yu crossed her arms in front of her chest and said lazily, "Although I do hate you, everything I've done so far is for your own good."
"Heh … I really envy you for being so confident." The girl chuckled and walked to her side. She looked at the darkness outside the window. "Is there anything outside the window?"
"There's nothing. You're waiting for me here. Do you have something you don't want Kyōko to hear?"
Vivian nodded without hesitation. "I'm also surprised. If I remember correctly, Kyōko is a character from another world. What do you want to do by bringing her with you?"
"What do we want to do?" Su Yu repeated subconsciously. "Probably to destroy that world."
She laughed nonchalantly.
"Will the disappearance of a character in the original world destroy a world?" Vivian's voice suddenly became nervous.
She thought of Kulapika. Even if her assassination failed, Kulapika would never let it go.
He would definitely be killed before the boy cultivated his Telekinesis.
"That depends on how you define it." Su Yu seemed to be recalling the past. Her voice sounded ethereal. "If everyone's future is viewed in the same position, then the whole world will undoubtedly be destroyed. I have never seen a case where changing one's fate brought happiness to everyone, not even one."
She emphasized.
After her voice fell, the room returned to silence. After a long time, Vivian seemed to understand something and gradually relaxed. "Well, if this is the price of happiness, I'm still willing to let everyone in the exploration team be happy."
Listening to the girl's restrained voice, Su Yu's mouth quietly hung a sarcastic smile.
But she didn't say anything, quietly waiting for the girl to continue.
Sure enough, not long after, Vivian couldn't help it again. She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "That … about Culolo, can we have a good talk?"
Her voice softened, and finally, there was a hint of pleading in it.
Su Yu turned to look at her.
Darkness seemed to make people more relaxed. After experiencing a breakdown in the afternoon, Vivian's mood was obviously much more stable. "Did he take you away in the past few months? I don't remember seeing the two of you when we left the island."
"Yeah, I've been with him for almost three months." Su Yu leaned against the window glass. "He took my key away."
She also tried to recall that time calmly.
"Was … was it scary when you were with him?" Vivian's hesitant words sounded in the dark space. With her physical fitness, it was not difficult for her to see clearly in the dark.
"If it's scary, yes, but …" Su Yu's voice gradually became more confused as he recalled the bits and pieces of their time together. "But if you're talking about what he did to me, I don't think so."
He was scary because of the pressure he exerted and his own unfathomable thoughts. But if you want to say that he did something to Su Yu, it was actually nothing.
"If using the gap in your heart to try to control your feelings is scary, then he is indeed scary." Su Yu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth in self-mockery. "But I'm not bad either. If I didn't use his feelings, I wouldn't have been able to escape."
Her hand touched the scar at the corner of her eye again.
As if seeing the girl's action, Vivian's breathing rate changed subtly. She then asked, "That injury … was caused by him?"
"Just a little bit more," Su Yu said faintly. He couldn't tell what she was feeling.
Vivian said with some difficulty, "He … you are quite special to him."
To be able to make him act so unusual, it could only mean that he really cared. Whether it was love or possessiveness, the girl in front of her was so lucky that it made her jealous.
"Different? Maybe." Su Yu's expression was still indifferent. Her hand touched the glass again. Her pair of beautiful purple eyes stared into the darkness. "He is a very different person. He is very dangerous and impossible to guard against."
He knew that he should keep a distance, but when he got close, he couldn't help but be attracted.
The darkness in the room didn't affect Vivian's vision at all. In front of her, the girl turned her eyes away from the window. The light reflected on the glass reflected her delicate and perfect eyebrows. The dark red scar at the corner of her eye was very prominent, but it strangely fused together with some kind of incomplete beauty.
This was the beauty that even he couldn't bear to destroy.
Vivian reached out and touched the scar. She was in a daze as she asked, "Mr. Store Manager … doesn't your store sell everything?"
"Let's say … if I want to become you, how much would it cost?"

In order to destroy the bracelet, Su Yu tried many methods, including directly cutting the metal, but there was some inexplicable resistance that stopped her. That was probably the so-called telekinesis.
Su Yu knew nothing about telekinesis. Vivian's telekinesis had been sealed for too long. It seemed that it would take some time for her to recover. And even if her telekinesis was completely restored, it was unlikely that she could directly remove the bracelet. The thing that Culolo took out was not as simple as it seemed. After careful consideration, Su Yu set her target on Vivian's former dagger.
The dagger that could cut all invisible things. Vivian's original intention was to prepare it in advance to prevent Culolo from going down the path of sealed telekinesis. But after being imprisoned by the Ten Geezers, the dagger should now be in the Ten Geezers' treasure room.
"I made a simple telekinesis mark on the hilt." After knowing the current plan, Vivian put on a cooperative attitude. "As long as it's within a radius of twenty meters, I can sense its existence."
"Twenty meters, I understand." Su Yu covered her mouth and pondered. She didn't even notice who she learned this action from.
Noticing the familiar small action, Vivian's breath stagnated.
It seemed that there was always such a small detail that reminded her of the relationship between the girl in front of her and that person.
She closed her eyes and returned to normal.
"Although it's a telekinesis mark, it still needs to be activated by telekinesis." She stretched out her empty right hand. From her perspective, the faint green and white lines were imprinted on the palm of her hand. "My telekinesis hasn't recovered yet. It's still a bit difficult to activate the mark. It's best to rest for a few days before acting."
Feeling that the telekinesis in her body was gradually filling up, Vivian gritted her teeth and quietly entered the 'absolute' state.
Su Yu looked at her from head to toe. There was an inexplicable look in her eyes. Just when Vivian thought that she was being suspected, she nodded and said, "Well, then I'll listen to you. We'll rest for three more days."
Everyone knew that in the current situation, the best choice was to end the battle quickly. But since Vivian said so, she could only suppress the sense of crisis in her heart and stay in the shop for a few more days.
The flow of time in the shop was not the same as the outside world. When Su Yu poked her head out of the shop again, almost a month had passed in the outside world.
She actually considered dragging the time out completely, gambling on whether the other party would lose interest first. However, such a proposal was abandoned under Vivian's subtle gaze.
That person would not be influenced by time, and of course, his interest would not be worn down by time. Dragging it out unnecessarily would only give the other party more time to prepare. Su Yu was trapped in the shop and did not dare to go out. No matter how she thought about it, she was the one who was at a disadvantage.
The location of the shop was directly set to be the ten old men's treasure showroom. Although Su Yu did not know where it was, as long as it existed in this world, the shop could be located very accurately.
The so-called showroom was not as shiny as she imagined. There was not even a single light turned on. It was dark all around. Su Yu frowned, but she did not dare to light a fire without permission.
There was a trace of fishy smell floating in the air, which made her feel very uneasy. However, she had already stepped out of the shop, so she could only tighten her grip on the key in her hand and silently encourage herself.
Vivian was following behind her. Logically speaking, that should be the case. However, the moment the girl stepped into the darkness, it was as if she reflexively hid her entire body's presence. At this time, Su Yu could not be sure whether she was following behind or not.
A world with high combat strength was really annoying.
Fortunately, Su Yu did not plan to rely on her in the beginning. After her eyes adjusted to the darkness a little, she identified the direction and walked towards the depths of the showroom.
The showroom seemed to be buried deep underground. At this time, it was quiet everywhere in the darkness. Even if Su Yu had deliberately softened her footsteps, she could still hear some slight movements. Accompanied by the sound of her breathing, it sounded even clearer in this silent space.
The fishy smell at the tip of her nose became clearer and clearer. Su Yu stopped and looked suspiciously at the pitch-black darkness in front of her. Her hand touched the wall beside her, and the key was in her hand again.
Just as she was seriously considering the possibility of retreating, a soft sound suddenly came from the darkness. A faint light lit up in the corner in front of her.
The light was not very bright, and it was flickering. It seemed to be a flickering light source like a candlelight. It lit up in the depths of the corridor, as if it was inviting others to come and investigate.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Yu mustered up her courage and walked in.
So when she saw the figure of the man, she actually had a feeling in her heart that she had already expected it.
The man sat on top of a pile of things that could not be seen clearly. His black long coat almost blended into the darkness of this space. He held a small book in his hand, and two pale candles were lit beside him. The candlelight reflected on his body, outlining the man's slender figure.
Seeing Su Yu stop in place, a chuckle overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He said, "You're slower than I expected. Can't you see the road clearly, Princess?"
Even the tone of his voice was familiar from her memory. It seemed like she could not hear any different emotions from him.
He stood up and walked down from the top step by step. The weak candlelight flickered with his movements. It was only then that Su Yu saw —
The pile of things that were piled up like a mountain were all tattered corpses.
Seeing the girl's expression change in an instant, the man curled the corners of his mouth again. He waved his hand in the darkness, and all the lights in the room suddenly lit up!
The tragic scene in the hall could be seen at a glance. The display windows that were supposed to be displaying treasures were all smashed to pieces. The blood of the corpses that piled up like a mountain had long solidified into black and red stains. Most of the corpses were dressed in neat black suits. It seemed like they were the subordinates of the Ten Elder.
The sudden brightness caused Su Yu to reflexively squint her eyes. By the time she got used to it, the man had already walked in front of her.
He was not dressed in his usual attire. In front of her, his black hair was combed to the back, revealing the exquisite cross-shaped tattoo on his forehead. His handsome face was completely exposed. At this moment, the corners of his mouth had a perfect curve. He looked at the girl with helpless and clear eyes, as if he was looking at a naughty child who had run away from home.
Su Yu forced her attention away from the mountain of corpses. She took a deep breath and slowly called out the man's name.
