Chereads / Shadow Of The Truth: Shu promised destiny / Chapter 21 - A journey to death

Chapter 21 - A journey to death

After everyone left, Tian Yang and Shushin sat in the room and did not speak. Tian Yang wanted to break the silence: "It's getting very quiet, right?"

Suddenly two girls entered the door, dressed in purple and looking exactly alike, as if they were twins, They started singing Loudly while running around: "Shushin Shushin Shushin, Shushin is back Shushin is back."

Shushin was completely tied between them and unable to breathe, she looked at Tianyang and said while choking: "You... you... I'll make sure your mouth is sewn up so you don't speak again...."

He looked at her and shook his shoulder: "What do I have to do with it? Didn't you say that you are loved. This is the price of fame and love from others."

Xiao Yan was standing at the door, : "I can handle this task if you want. For years, I thought of many ways to torture him, that I could try, too."

Shushin said difficulty: "Just get rid of them now."

Xiao Yan said in a sharp tone: "Insects, stay away from Shushin, what is wrong with you."

Xiao Yao said as she let go of Shushin : "Here comes the witch."

Yao Yao also moved away and said: "You mean the orange."

Shushin slowly lay down on the ground, trying to breathe, : "Oh my God, I feel like my guts turned into juice." Then Tian Yang helped her to sit on the chair

"How dare you call your big sister an orange?"

Xiao Yao and Yao Yao said at the same time: "You said first that we are insects! We are not insects!!"

"Well, my fairies, how about you go out and play outside", Tian Yang said as he put his hands around them from behind

They smiled and started running around the table at which Shushin was sitting, shouting: "Shushin Shushin Shushin!" Then they left the room.

" This is very unfair. I can't even make them angry if I want to live long."

"And you can't love them too much," Shushin said, holding her stomach. "I think we will lose either way. It's very unfair."

Xiao Yan said furiously: "fairies? Damn it."

Tian Yang looked at them pityingly and said as he sat in the chair next to them: "Your situation is really sad."

The two looked at him with sharp looks that made him salivate and laugh strangely: "Haha, I'm pathetic, sorry."

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yan asked while averting her eyes from him and looking at Shushin ."Is there anything that concerns you?"

"I just feel.. like I'm wrapped, even though I thought I really owned the world."

Xiao Yan said with a sigh: "You are talking about Hao Ran right?

He is a 100% demon of the last level, even if you are a genius and superior to all of us, someone who knows your flaws and skills and always watches you, and most importantly he is much smarter than you, his movements will be difficult to understand."

"You suspect something. correct? You are suspicious of Jianguo."

Shushin looked at him and was silent for a while before replying: "He is my biggest mystery. You asked why I did not respond to him and let him go. His eyes were not the boy I knew at all, and I felt very strange and wondered. After I found out about my brother and churan, he was the first person that came to my mind."

Xiao Yan asked: "Who is this? King's second son?"

Shushin shook her head and said, "Yes. I never saw Churan's body, and he never spoke of his brother or that he was a prince, hide it, I was already suspicious of him. But he saved me that day, he did not wait for someone's response, for example, no, he agreed to help me immediately."

"You suspect that he is collaborating with your brother, which explains why he wants to come with you."

"Maybe he really wanted to come in here to watch us, but he got angry because he greedy for you, he deviated from the plan and his heart seemed to move towards you."

"Did you create a new Magic , to attract handsome men?"

"Stop your nonsense Xiao yan, why did you come to my room?"

"Oh, I remembered," Xiao Yan replied as she took something out of her pocket. "Our worker in city of death sent a message."

Shushin extended her hands to take the message and look: "What is this?"

The message says, "Hello, madam. Recently, things have become very bad here. Many people say they see the spirits of the dead. For thousands of years, we have done a bow to bid farewell to the dead, and this has never happened. It is said that they are the spirits of people who were killed for unknown reasons. We brought some fortune tellers. They said that this is a curse whose cause is unknown. If you help a soul to fulfill its wish and make it go in peace, the curse will disappear. The City of Death needs you."

Shushin looked at them after she finished reading: "What do you think then?"

"Are you going? I mean, a soul that doesn't know why it died, what would it want? Maybe it will be revenge, how are you going to do it?"

"It is my duty to hear the call of the oppressed, if she wants revenge, then I will take revenge on those who caused her grief, maybe those spirits are still roaming around because they want to touch and say last words to their loved ones," Shushin said

Shushin left the room and was walking around alone, immersed in her thoughts, excitement, and also her fear. She was disturbed by her unorganized feelings and did not know the reason for that. She wondered if one day she had given up and ignored her feelings, so those feelings haunted her and were immersed in her other feelings until she no longer could distinguish what she felt.

While she allowed herself to be preoccupied with her feelings and wonder about her true self, suddenly she withdrew into her mind and forgot where she really was, which made her stumble while walking. She almost fell to the ground as she crossed a threshold to enter a door that led to where her father lived. Feng Lobby, which is the second largest place in the Royal Palace

But she did not fall completely, as she sat on her knee holding someone's hand. If he had not held her hands, she would have surely fallen on her face. Shushin slowly raised her head to look at him, and immediately smiled when she saw him.

"Shujin! Glad to see you," she said in a happy tone as Shujin pulled her up to stand, holding hands still.

"You are at the gate of Feng Family, so you should expect to see me"

Suddenly he looked at his hands holding hers and quickly moved away, removing his hands from her and taking a few steps back

Shushin looked at her hands and said to herself: "Oh, I forgot to put a magic cover on myself. His skill must have worked on me.."

Then she laughed, trying to change the subject, saying: "I was so distracted in my thoughts, I didn't think about where I was going."

Then she came closer to him. He was looking at the ground, avoiding her looking at him, so she lowered her head to see his face from underneath, then she gently pulled his hair to make him look at her. Shujin had curly hair, but it was soft and very beautiful. His hair was shiny black, covering his eyes, and it was covering his right eye. With a thick black rope, and wearing gloves on his hands, and no one knew why, he seemed shy and unsure. He is Shushin's brother from another mother, so he has no right to the throne or influence in the royal family and is not considered a member of them.

Shushin smiled at him and said: "Brother, can I see your eyes? It's beautiful, why do you hide it?"

Shujin said sadly and in an unsure voice: "You have never seen my eye before, so how can you call it beautiful?"

"Of course your eyes are beautiful! Although I have never seen it before, it is beautiful not because it is beautiful, but because it is your eye. If it were someone else's eye, it would be normal."

Shujin smiled shyly and put his hands on top of her head to caress her: "Where did you learn these things? Also when did you come? I always went to your room secretly to see if you would come back, day after day, but you never came back no matter how much I waited for you..."

"Sorry, things must have been difficult. I went through a lot of things and had to stay in front of the palace because I didn't want that annoying old man to see me. "

Shujin said as he moved his hands away: "Don't worry, I'm glad you're back. From now on, I'll come to you when I miss you, so don't ever come here no matter what happens."

"And if I miss you?"

Shujin replied to her, laughing: "Just consider it, then, that you are experiencing what I felt while you were away from me."

Shushin laughed: "Well, I will accept my punishment, little brother."

Shujin said angrily: "The difference between us is only 10 months."

Shushin said as she left: "You are still young in my heart."

When Shushin returned to the room, Tian Yang and Xiao Yan were already ready to leave. Shushin asked: "Are you coming with us?"

Xiao Yan: "I have helped you for many years and now you want to abandon me? I would like to come and have fun with you too!"

Tian Yang said in a low voice: "What's wrong with her? She's acting like a child when we're going to visit dead people who are almost wiping out a city."

Xiao Yan said in a sharp tone: "Don't you think you're talking too loudly for someone who talks to himself?"

"Who told you that I was talking to myself? I want you to hear me."

"Enough! I'm really tired of you both. I certainly haven't abandoned you, but my uncle will notice our absence if the three of us leave. Do you think the palace is full enough? Also my uncle is very focused on me."

"You're right, you've caused a lot of trouble and now you're going to get into even bigger trouble. I don't think my father will understand this, but I'll go anyway. I'm tired of this boring place.."

"Okay, let's go now. We can come back every night so that my uncle doesn't get suspicious."

"Okay ladies, I will open the gate now, directly to our shop"

"Thank you, loyal servant." Said Xiao Yan

A gate opened from the wall, they looked at each other before Shushin walked forward first, followed by Tian Yang and Xiao Yan.

When they arrived. Shushin said: "Let's go out and see the situation."

Xiao Yan extended her hand to pull Shushen and stop her moving: "Wait, I'm dizzy now."

"This is really embarrassing. Why are you like this when you are from the royal family? I know now why my uncle says you are an embarrassment."

"Yes, of course, you really look like your uncle."

Tianyang looked at their clothes and said: "Indeed, why are you guys wearing red clothes here?"

Shushin looked at her clothes: "Oh, I didn't even notice, I'll go change my clothes and then we'll leave."

....

They all left while the informant arrived and bowed to Shushin: "Hello, Princess, you have arrived."

Shushin motioned for him to stand: "There is no need. Just call me Shushin, tell me the details please."

"Yes, ma'am, we don't know what, but suddenly many people see ghosts and the situation becomes very uncomfortable, so most of the city's residents left on trips in order not to stay here. We do not know the reason, but it was said that we must worship the souls to satisfy their souls, but even this did not work."

Xiao Yan: "Death City is an important city, and of course the clan will be threatened now that so many are leaving, this is not good for any of us. This situation will cause many breakdowns for everyone."

"You are right, nothing like this has happened for thousands of years, and certainly if we do not find a solution quickly, it will be bad, especially if it reaches the palace and other cities."

"Right, so we shouldn't just let it reach them."

Tianyang: "Do you have a plan?"

"There are three reasons that could lead to this disaster. First, external interference, and this is 99% unlikely because the City of Death does not pose any threat to any other city. The second is internal interference, which is also impossible. The people of this city know very well what the result will be if they do so. and the last intervention may be..."

Tianyang: "The spirits themselves intervene in this matter"

"Indeed."

Xiao Yan said: "But this is a worse disaster, because if the spirits come out of their protected graves, this means that the people here did not do their work well. This will be a disaster, without a doubt. If their negligence is proven, this will be enough reason for the Demon City to take control of this city."

"Therefore, we must disperse. If we see spirits, we must approach them, talk to them, and learn more. If you find a spirit that wants something, do it for it, so that we can discover something important before dawn, and we will meet again."

Xiao Yan: "Then let's do well and go home guys, bye"

Shushin walked in the street, which was very empty. The people of this city are humble and live their lives very normally and moderately. Unlike the city of demons that they are supposed to be a part of, they live their whole lives in the service of dead people.

(I really respect these people. I cannot become like them. I refuse to be like them. Maybe the matter is not that bad. I do not know if my love for myself and my selfishness are the reason for my rejection, but I hate to spend even a minute of my life for the sake of another person. Especially if someone had already died, I'm not that merciful and kind. Maybe someone like Zenzen would have sacrificed her life for others. I miss her.. )

Suddenly someone grabbed her hands, or she felt this, since there was no hand holding her. Shushin slowly turned to look. She saw a beautiful girl, wide eyes, an affectionate smile, innocent features indicating her kindness. Although she was wearing the clothes of the dead, it was clear that she is A noble girl

The girl said: "You are the first person to notice me. I kept running around without anyone noticing me."

"How can no one see you? While we are in the city of death?"

The girl said while still speaking in a respectful manner: "I don't know why. Maybe they don't see ghosts. Only the City of the Dead clan and specialized people are responsible for matters of the dead, not the Ordinary people."

"Yes, I understand."

The girl said as she approached Shushin: "So who are you, miss?"

"Tell me about yourself first, beautiful miss. What is your name?"

The girl laughed shyly: "My name is niaoniao."

"What a beautiful name. So tell me, why is your soul still here?"

"I met a spirit and she told me that perhaps because the Death Clan ignored the grudges and requests of the dead, they were afflicted with a curse, so our spirits left."

"Oh, I understand now, so, Miss niaoniao, what is your unheard request that keeps your soul stuck here?"

"I didn't want to say, but you seem like a wise and kind woman. I'm looking for someone to help me."

"Someone help you? with what?"

"I am niaoniao from the Fairy Clan. I married a man from the Demon City who lived in the Snow City. We loved each other and everyone knew of our beautiful relationship. He loved me madly and so did I. But while we were on a walk in the woods,I was killed. I don't care, Miss Shushin, about revenge I just wanted to check on my husband, but it was impossible for my soul to leave this city."

Shushin said with a smile: "Do you want me to deliver a message to him, then? that's easy."

niaoniao shook her head with a shy smile and said clearly: "I would like to borrow your body for a while."

Shushin kept looking at her in silence, then laughed, saying: "Miss niaoniao, I am just a woman passing by, and you are a dead woman, how could this happen?"

"I don't mean to brag about my uselessly wasted life, but, miss, I lived for many years and did not ask for anything, and I did not know that the day I would ask for something would be something shameless." Then she bowed to Shushin and continued: "I just want to see him."

"I would like to leave and leave you behind me, but it is unfortunate to leave a beautiful girl like you behind me, since your request puts me in a greater predicament than the predicament I am already in. You are from the fairy clan and you certainly know the only way to transfer your soul to my body. You know that it is impossible, and that just asking you makes me suspect that you are not a nice woman."

"I told you, my husband is a devil. I'm sorry for using tricks on you, Miss Shushin. I can tell that you are a sensitive woman who might sympathize with my sadness and desire, and I have no bad intentions. I swear with my heart and my feelings, which I have no other than, even without my body, that I did not lie with a single word."

Shushin said with a sigh: "This is dangerous. If we do this, my soul and your soul will control my body, and we cannot control this. Your memories, your feelings, and everything. I will be able to know those things. If someone discovers your identity, they will be able to see your face instead of mine."

"I would be willing to die a hundred times just if I had the chance to meet him one last time."
