Is it really just a coincidence?
Susie hurriedly returned to the Murray's manor.
Her true form had already arrived in the human world, but due to some reasons, it was sealed in a place...
She needed to level up, so she couldn't be in the underworld while her soul was in the human world. Therefore, a few days ago, she hurriedly returned to her soul and seamlessly connected to the teleportation array, returning to the Murray's manor.
When her family was asleep, she left the Murray's manor by herself. Afterwards, she vaguely felt that this promotion required void wandering to complete, so she hurriedly found a place to meditate.
A neighborhood in Los Angeles.
An old small courtyard stood in the wind and snow, with white snow covering the wall, and the red brick wall faintly visible.
Next to the courtyard stood a tall old tree, with not a single leaf left on its branches. The sturdy branches outlined a ink painting against the snowy landscape, as the white snowflakes fell onto the branches, creating a unique beauty.
The lights were on in the courtyard, as if waiting for someone to return.
Susie poked her head in and was surprised to find Ledger sitting inside. He was lying comfortably, covered with a floral blanket.
Ledger flipped through the book as he studied, and the knowledge flowed like water, with the book acting as a funnel, pouring spoonful after spoonful into his mind.
"Ledger!" Susie shouted.
Ledger turned around and breathed a barely noticeable sigh of relief, "You're back?"
He stood up, towering over the old house, making it seem even more cramped.
Susie was dumbfounded, "How did you know I was here?"
Ledger paused for a moment and then slightly curled his lips, "Coincidentally, we meet."
He was so lucky.
Just happened to notice something different here, so I took another look and there she was.
Only humans remained, but their souls didn't know where to go.
Ledger was worried, so he stayed here and had someone send over his textbooks and other things during that time.
Susie tilted her head and said, "Is it really that coincidental?"
Ledger wanted to playfully reach out and touch her nose, but realizing the difference between genders and the fact that everyone had grown up, it was no longer appropriate to casually touch each other.
"How did you end up here? Aren't you afraid of someone being here?" Ledger asked.
Susie recounted what had happened and said, "I was in a hurry at that time, and I knew that no one would come to this old house."
Ledger wondered, "How did you know?"
Susie's smile faded slightly as she said, "When I arrived, the grandparents had just left."
Two elderly people passed away one after another. They had only one daughter, who went to her in-laws' house to celebrate the New Year and naturally did not come back.
"I asked them, and they agreed that I could stay for a few days."
Ledger nodded, "So that's how it was."
Susie looked at him and said, "Ledger, where have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time. What are you up to now..."
Susie exclaimed in surprise, "What state are you in now?"
Ledger did not keep a record, but he was not entirely certain: "It seems that there are new rules in the underworld. According to the realm of the underworld, I should be in the Yama realm... but I am not Yama, so I cannot be sure if the boundaries are defined by these rules."
Susie nodded, "Certainly."
Was the Yama realm complete? But Susie couldn't see clearly what was added to make it feel more complete than the Yama realm.
Ledger himself seemed to be unsure.
"Never mind, let's go back quickly!" Susie glanced at the sky and became a little anxious. "My grandmother must be waiting for me."
Ledger also looked outside, slightly stunned, "My mom should also be waiting for me."
Susie was completely focused and grabbed his hand, running outside. "Let's go!"
Ledger stared at her, holding her hand, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart.
I couldn't determine the emotion, but I really wanted to let it develop naturally.
He seemed to no longer be in the role of a brother...
"Susie?" Ledger suddenly called out.
Susie turned around and said, "Hmm?"
Ledger was dumbfounded and didn't know why he called her that. Being looked at by Susie like that made him feel a bit embarrassed, but luckily he quickly found an excuse.
He pointed behind him and said, "The lights were not turned off."
Susie: "Oh!"
Turn off the lights!
We should save electricity, cherish resources, and also pay attention to safety...
Susie turned off all the lights, and Ledger cooperated tacitly by turning off the main switch. Then they left the yard together.
Outside the courtyard was a narrow alley, and beyond that was a wide road with two cars parked by the roadside.
One of the cars, belonging to the Stevenson family, seemed to have been parked for a long time as there was snow accumulated on its roof.
The other car was a familiar Maibach Landaulet, it must have just arrived, with only a little snow on its body.
"Susie," the car window rolled down, and Martin's face appeared in front of her.
