Chapter 164: Chapter 155 Pactress_1

"Huh?"

Mu You and Little Ya were both dumbstruck, unable to react for a while.

"Before grandma left, she called me aside and left a will, saying that if possible, she wanted to be buried on the other side..." Lin Xue explained.

Little Ya found this explanation quite baffling, but Mu You instantly understood: the old lady wanted to be buried in the star spirit world.

In the end, even though she had children and a family on Earth, her heart identified more with the star spirit world as her true home...

"We... will enter the door tonight."

After considering, Mu You told Lin Xue.

"Alright." Lin Xue nodded.

Then Mu You simply closed the shop. The three of them entered the backpack space and carefully planned the matters after opening the door.

This time, they only have 24 hours of activity once the door is opened, and there are quite a few preparations to be made in advance.

Mu You ordered a batch of high-grade bait online, and also bought several boxes of liquor. They were prepared for the old blacksmith who had helped him a lot. Allowing him to drink only diluted wine felt improper, so Mu You planned to take a few more boxes in when he gets the chance.

Such small expenses are negligible for him. A few days ago, the Commerce Alliance rewarded him with ten million as gratitude. They also gifted him a specially made VIP gold card, which can cover all expenses in any hotel affiliated with the Commerce Alliance.

Meanwhile, Lin Xue showed her current progress in the game in the space.

Lin Xue is currently at level four, just like Little Ya, and is just starting. However, she inherited two amazingly powerful items from her grandmother: a Reaper’s Scythe and a Crimson Cloak.

The so-called scythe looked like a Magic Wand when Lin Xue initially took it out to show. According to the Omniscient Crystal in Mu You, its feedback indicated it’s ’an ordinary Magic Wand’. This reminded him of Vivian’s Phantom Scepter, this seemed to be another disguised weapon.

Indeed, the magic wand in Lin Xue’s hand soon transformed into a long-handled scythe, the tip of which emitted a bizarre black glow. When Mu You looked back, the Omniscient Crystal finally returned the correct information.

What surprised him was that it was a legendary weapon!

[Reaper’s Scythe: A weapon that has entered a pact with the Grim Reaper, only those of the Pactress bloodline can use it. When it hits a hostile creature, it leaves a Reaper’s Mark. Upon leaving ten Marks on the same target, the Grim Reaper’s descent is triggered. The Reaper will directly cut away the target’s soul and devour the corresponding lifespan, storing it as Soul Points. The amount cut depends on the power gap between the two parties. A person whose soul is completely cut away cannot be resurrected.]

"Hiss...."

Mu You sucked in a breath as he looked, a weapon that made resurrection impossible!

That is to say, once the condition of hitting ten times is met and the Grim Reaper is summoned, no matter how long the opponent’s lifespan is, it will be directly devoured by the Grim Reaper, wiped out in one wipe, with no chance of resurrection.

Of course, the stolen souls can’t be converted into lifespan and added to Lin Xue, they would be stored in the form of ’Soul Points’ within the scythe. Many of Lin Xue’s exclusive items and spells require these points.

Like the robe she’s wearing right now.

[Crimson Cloak: Each time you are attacked, you can expend one Soul Point to resist the effect of the attack.]

Passive ability ’Crimson Blossom’: Each time an enemy creature is killed with the Reaper’s Scythe, a river lily will grow at the point of death. River lilies cannot be destroyed and last for five minutes. Hostile creatures within a hundred meters of the lilies will have one year of their life burned by the lily each time they attack or cast a spell.]

This cloak is of epic quality and is an item used with the scythe. Without the scythe, the cloak is useless, but with the scythe, this cloak is an attack and defense god-level item!

By consuming Soul Points, attack effects can be resisted. Furthermore, after killing an enemy with the scythe, River Lilies can be summoned. The effect of these flowers is of the Aura-type. Any targets within range that move will have their lifespan burned away. Summoning a few more, who would dare to attack within its range? Even those with a rich life can’t afford to be toyed with like this.

Both items work on the soul, one targets a single body, and the other targets groups, it can be said to be quite overbearing.

"Pactress huh..."

Mu You looked at the explanation in the Reaper’s Scythe. These two items can only be used by someone of the Pactress lineage, no wonder Grandma Lin Xue had to pass down her legacy to her descendants, this legacy could only be accepted by her descendants.

Besides, within the secret technique crystal inherited by Lin Xue, three secret techniques have been recorded. However, two of them are exclusive secret techniques that need to be combined with the scythe. It’s useless for others to copy these.

[Soul Extraction Technique: When the scythe hits an ally or an enemy who can’t resist, it can extract a part of its soul. The soul body can exist outside the body for a period of time, then automatically returns.]

[Soul Infusion: Souls Points can be infused into a corpse, temporarily repairing it into a living body to aid in battles.]

[Reaper’s Pact: Make a temporary pact with the Grim Reaper to create a supporting array. While standing in the array, it is possible to convey the power of secret techniques between each other from afar through the Grim Reaper, but the Reaper will take a certain amount of life as a reward.]

Of these three secret techniques, only the third one can be copied for others to use. The effect isn’t bad and is one of the remote assistance spells, which can support not only natural magic power but also secret techniques.

This means that if Mu You uses this spell to aid Lin Xue, then Lin Xue can use not only her crystal’s natural magic power but also activate the Magic Cards imprinted on her crystal by him at any time.

...

Night fell.

In the tightly closed pet shop, three people had gathered in the basement.

A large red door had been placed in front of the wall at the deep part of the basement.

"Little Ya, I’m counting on you to watch the shop tomorrow. Don’t let anyone in," Mu You instructed Little Ya as he packed up his things.

Next up, he and Lin Xue will be going into the door and can’t return within a day. The shop will be under Little Ya’s care, and for such an important task, the only one he trusts is Little Ya.

"Oh, alright... Boss, don’t worry..."

Little Ya swallowed hard. She had gleaned a rough idea from Mu You about the function of this door and what the two were about to do.

She was naturally curious about this magical door, but at the moment, what drew her attention more was a small ice coffin placed next to Lin Xue.

The ice coffin was freshly retrieved from Lin Xue’s backpack. It was a specially made backpack-style coffin, and inside it lay Grandma Lin Xue’s body.

Little Ya meant no disrespect towards Grandma Lin Xue, but with a coffin containing a body, which looked like a slumbering living person after the funeral makeup at her feet late at night, she felt terrified.

Since once they enter the Star Spirit World, the backpack containing items from Earth won’t open on the other side, Lin Xue had to take out the ice coffin in advance and bring it through the door herself.

For the same reason, once Mu You enters the Star Spirit World, he won’t be able to open his lock core backpack, so he has to take out all the items and tools needed for this trip in advance, and store them in a new backpack after entering the door.

After all the preparations, Mu You put on the Vampire skin and checked the time.

It was just past ten at night. The effect of the Vampire skin hadn’t reached its peak yet, but it was almost there.

Mu You looked at Lin Xue.

At this moment, Lin Xue had taken off her glasses, put on a cloak, and was holding the scythe in her hand. Her long hair was tied back into a ponytail. Her image had transformed from her usual gentle frailty into a competent and determined one.

She picked up the coffin from the ground and hauled it onto her back. After becoming a player, this amount of weight was nothing to her.

Lin Xue nodded at Mu You to signal that she was ready.

Mu You turned back, took a breath, waved his Magic Wand, and unstitched the restrictions on the door layer by layer.

Then he put his hand on the door handle, feeling the biting cold coming from it.

With a little force, the handle turned, and with a creak, the door slowly opened.
