An idea struck her.
"Lady Hong, given the situation, I'm afraid there's no way to resolve it. Moreover, the Water Ghost is about to emerge. Why don't we just do nothing and let the Water Ghost drag all these guys away? How about that?"
"Can the Water Ghost drag away these guys?" Red Fox asked. Her reaction was swift, and she immediately added another question, "This isn't the first time this has happened, right?"
"Yes," Lady Lie said, her voice sincere yet tinged with helplessness. "These creatures can never be truly killed. They keep coming, endless and fearless. In their eyes, you and I are no different from the living. They'll wear us down until we die. Only by letting the Water Ghost take them all can we hope to survive."
Red Fox remained silent, having clearly grasped the meaning behind Lady Lie's words.
Either she dealt with all those creatures herself, or she waited for the Water Ghost to appear and pull everyone here into the water. It was one or the other.
