"Because I don’t want you to go in," Du Yuyi shrugged and said, "It’s very dangerous inside, especially if it’s your first time. It’s quite easy to die."
"What exactly is inside?" Jiang Shu frowned. "What’s dangerous?"
"Amusement park attractions," Du Yuyi counted on her fingers and looked at her nails, "like ghost houses, pirate ships, Ferris wheels, etc., just super thrilling versions."
"Oh, I see," Jiang Shu nodded as he stroked his chin. To Du Yuyi’s shocked gaze, he picked up his suitcase and placed it by his feet, "Didn’t you just say it’s especially dangerous if it’s your first time? Well then, how about this: you take me inside, and all this Black Silver is yours."
Du Yuyi swallowed and didn’t speak.
After a while, she finally replied, "Do you really want to go in?"
"Really." Jiang Shu nodded positively. There was more he needed to do there besides modifying the entries.
There were things to verify as well, regarding the Deformed Domain.
In fact, that was even higher priority than modifying the entries.
"Fine," Du Yuyi eventually sighed and nodded in agreement, "I’ll go in with you."
Then she suddenly pointed a finger at Jiang Shu, with a serious face, "Let me make this clear, I’m not just after this bit of Black Silver. I just don’t want you to die in there. After all, there’s only one ’Magician’ card, and by the way, I’d like to go back in and see if there are any new changes."
"Got it, got it," Jiang Shu picked up the suitcase and pushed it across the table towards Du Yuyi, "I’ve brought it all this way, might as well leave it with you."
"Huh?" Du Yuyi instinctively reached out but then pulled back, wary of a trick. She eyed Jiang Shu skeptically, "You trust me just like that? Aren’t you afraid I’ll take it and run?"
"Not worried," Jiang Shu smiled, "Where can you run to? You’re bound to stay and guard the ’amusement park’ in the Seventh District’s Second-Level Deformed Domain, aren’t you? Plus, you need a steady income of Black Silver to maintain the status quo, and since you only know the Tarot Technique, where could you possibly run off to?"
Jiang Shu smirked inwardly. With the Mind Reading Technique, he was, of course, fully aware of Du Yuyi’s thoughts. Such absolute trust in her was also a quick way to gain her trust.
"..." Du Yuyi bit her lip and remained silent.
Just from these few exchanges, Jiang Shu had nearly figured out all her secrets - this kind of man was despicable.
It was imaginable how miserable his associates must be, likely revealing all their secrets inadvertently.
That said, Du Yuyi’s brows knitted deeply again.
She didn’t want to go back to that place either, but...
Given the recent gradual decline in Black Silver income, she wouldn’t be able to consult on the "amusement park" for much longer. By then, she would truly feel completely unsafe.
To fundamentally solve that problem...
She had to face that place directly.
"Alright, since that’s settled, I’ll come for you on Saturday night," Jiang Shu stood up and casually dropped a Black Currant Theater performance ticket.
"I have a show the day after tomorrow; if you’re free, you might want to watch."
Du Yuyi didn’t speak or take the ticket, she just watched Jiang Shu warily.
This man was very sly, hiding many secrets. That ticket was definitely a trap – it couldn’t be trusted.
