Shen Muyu hugged Da Bai for a long time before letting go, releasing all the unease and anxiety that had accumulated over the past few days.
Anyone who has just cried knows that their throat will feel tight and sensitive at this time, so Shen Muyu didn't say anything, but just stroked Da Bai's head again and again.
Big White was enjoying Shen Muyu's head patting with his eyes half-closed, but who knew that the next second the action would stop.
Da Bai opened its eyes in confusion and looked up at Shen Muyu, but Shen Muyu's gaze was fixed on the window.
The woman in black from before was looking at Shen Muyu with a bad expression, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the back of the car.
Shen Muyu followed her gaze and saw the little black dog lying on the ground looking at her with a wronged expression. Seeing this, Shen Muyu touched her nose embarrassedly, having forgotten about the little guy.
After concealing his guilty conscience, Shen Muyu looked up and gave the woman in black a big smile, hoping she wouldn't notice these small details.
The woman in black narrowed her eyes at the big white dog beside her, said nothing, but walked to the back, opened the trunk door, and gently picked up the little black dog.
The little black dog whimpered softly a few times and rubbed against the woman in black.
Shen Muyu blinked sheepishly. She thought the woman in black would make trouble, but to her surprise, she closed the door and left. A piece of paper money marked 100 appeared on the dashboard in front of the car.
"What a kind person," Shen Muyu exclaimed as she quickly put the paper money into her pocket.
"Woof woof!" The dog didn't know what was happening, but it wanted to respond to its owner!
Shen Muyu smiled and patted Da Bai, but the slightly cold touch made her smile freeze.
As if sensing Shen Muyu's bad mood, Da Bai shook its head and rubbed against Shen Muyu's palm.
"Big White, let's never be apart again, okay?" Shen Muyu whispered, unsure whether she was speaking to herself or to Big White.
The surrounding dust had disappeared by now. Shen Muyu took out a lighter and pressed it. The next second, a flame rose, and Shen Muyu relit the candle. Although he had witnessed the power of the white candle, having it lit up provided some comfort and could offer some protection in case of an emergency.
Because Xiao A didn't start the timer when Shen Muyu entered the station, he stayed at this station for a longer time, only leaving after the new ten-minute timer ended.
After the animals gradually disembarked, Shen Muyu, with Da Bai, encountered the largest stop they had come to since arriving here.
Calling it a station isn't quite accurate; it's more like a service area. Behind the station sign, there's a public restroom and a supermarket. Both buildings were lit up, but there didn't seem to be anyone inside.
Shen Muyu had no intention of getting out of the car. After looking at the buildings behind her, she turned her attention to a sign on the side.
The sign looked very old, covered in rust and with an exposed back panel, which contrasted sharply with the modern building behind it.
After looking at the sign for a few seconds, Shen Muyu's gaze seemed to be drawn to it. Her eyes gradually became lifeless, and red began to well up in her eyes, just like when she first arrived in this world and encountered her first stop.
The bus stop sign faded in Shen Muyu's eyes, and then a blood-red world gradually emerged. It seemed to be a modern city, and the only difference from reality was the red moon hanging in the sky.
Shen Muyu was like a doll that had lost its soul, constantly being drawn to that city.
Da Bai noticed Shen Muyu's difference immediately. It growled softly and kept licking Shen Muyu's cheek with its tongue, but even so, Shen Muyu did not make a sound.
Just as the whites of Shen Muyu's eyes began to turn red, the small grass stuck in the rearview mirror emitted a bright green light.
The light reflected in Shen Muyu's eyes, and the red in his eyes gradually faded until it disappeared. At this moment, Shen Muyu's eyes were no longer dull, but regained their liveliness.
Having no memory of what had just happened, Shen Muyu only felt a chill on her face. When she saw Da Bai sticking out its tongue again, she dodged it in a flash.
"Big White!" Shen Muyu wiped the drool off his face in a state of near collapse, then shouted at Big White.
Knowing that Shen Muyu disliked having saliva all over his face, Da Bai took a few steps back somewhat reluctantly and looked up cautiously at Shen Muyu.
Seeing this, Shen Muyu felt a pang of sympathy and gently stroked Da Bai's head. It was just a little dog, what did it know? She shouldn't have scolded it. At this moment, Shen Muyu had completely forgotten what Da Bai had done before.
After playing with the dog for a while, Shen Muyu released the brake to continue driving, but a woman appeared in front of the car the next second. Upon seeing this, Shen Muyu quickly stepped on the brake again.
"So you were Da Bai's previous owner." A woman's gentle and pleasant voice, like a clear spring, came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Da Bai barked happily at her a few times, and its tail wagged along with it.
"Who are you?" Shen Muyu had some guesses in her mind when she saw Da Bai's happy appearance, but she still asked.
"It's been looking for you." The woman said this with a smile instead of answering.
"You want to go with her?" The woman stopped looking at Shen Muyu and turned to look at Da Bai.
The big white dog barked a few times, then circled around on the chair a few times.
"Okay." The woman seemed to understand what Da Bai meant and nodded to herself.
It seemed like the woman had something to say, but she didn't say it in the end. She just smiled at Big White and left.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of it." Shen Muyu said silently as he watched her departing figure. The woman seemed to hear him, paused for a moment, and then disappeared.
As the woman's figure disappeared, a stack of paper money appeared on the platform in front.
Shen Muyu swallowed hard, carefully picked it up and counted it; there were a whopping 2,000.
"Big White, it seems you've chosen the wrong owner." Shen Muyu grinned and stroked Big White's head, thinking how wonderful it would be if this rich woman were hers.
After properly arranging the paper money, Shen Muyu embarked on his journey again. However, after walking only a few dozen meters from the station, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed, and the next second, Shen Muyu reappeared in the dark tunnel.
"Congratulations on successfully clearing the supernatural dungeon. The limited-time shop is now open to you. The shop will be available for 30 minutes."
Before Shen Muyu could recover from the dizziness, a familiar electronic voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Muyu shook her head and slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, her eyes were still blurry from the white light. After she recovered, she found that Da Bai was gone!
