She stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her busy father, and said calmly: 'Dad, I'm going out for a while.' I was still young at that time, and I didn't know where my mother was going. I just pestered her and clamored to go with her. My mother touched my head lovingly, and said gently: 'Good child, I can't take you this time. You stay at home and be obedient, and wait for your mother to come back and bring you gifts.' Later I learned that my mother was going to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts. Her soul power has reached a bottleneck, and she needs to obtain new soul rings to continue to break through. My mother was born a commoner, with limited resources for cultivation, and she relied on herself to explore step by step. When she was a child, she only attended the Junior Soul Master Academy and learned some of the most basic soul master knowledge. Later, because of her poor family background,

Unable to pay the expensive tuition fees, she dropped out of school early and began to struggle for a living. But even so, my mother never gave up practicing. She practiced hard day after day, year after year. With her own efforts and talent, she finally successfully broke through level 40 when I was six years old and became a Soul Master. This is already an extremely rare achievement for a civilian soul master. "I paused, and my mother's high-spirited appearance emerged in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. "My father supported my mother to go to the Soul Beast Forest. He personally prepared enough food and water for my mother, and also told my mother to be careful and come back as soon as possible. In this way, my mother embarked on the journey to the Soul Beast Forest with my father's expectations and my thoughts.

This time, she was gone for half a year. Half a year later, my mother came back. She successfully obtained the spirit ring she had always dreamed of, and her spirit power was also improved. But her face looked very ugly, and her figure was much thinner. At that time, my father and I were immersed in the joy of my mother's safe return, and did not notice that my mother was different. At that time, my martial soul had also awakened, and like my mother, I was a ghost. I excitedly showed my martial soul to my mother,

Although my mother looked tired, she still showed a look of relief in her eyes. "One day not long after my mother came back, a group of strangers in black came to our house. They all had stern faces, sharp eyes, and a chilling aura. They drove my father and me aside, and I don't know what they said to my mother. My mother's face became even uglier, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of struggle and helplessness.

Finally, my mother left with the group of people. My father wanted to stop them, but was pushed to the ground by those people without mercy. I cried and wanted to chase my mother, but my father hugged me tightly. From that day on, our family was shrouded in nightmares. My mother began to go out frequently, and each time she was away for a long time, from a few days to a few months. Every time she came back, my mother's face was as pale as paper, her expression was haggard, and there were more and more scars on her body. But at the same time, my mother's strength was constantly getting stronger, and the fluctuations of her soul power were getting stronger and stronger. I was sent to the Soul Master Academy to study. At the beginning, I was not very clear about the changes in my family. I only knew that my mother was often not at home.
My father also became taciturn, sighing all day long. Later, when I went home on vacation one day, I found that many valuable things in the house were gone, even my mother's favorite set of silver jewelry was missing. My father's originally black hair turned gray, and there were many more wrinkles on his face. He seemed to have aged ten years. I realized that something must have happened at home. I asked my father, but he just shook his head and sighed, unwilling to say more. Since then, I rarely saw my mother. Occasionally, in the middle of the night, I would hear suppressed crying coming from my mother's room. """

"At that time, I asked my father what happened at home. But my father refused to say anything and just kept sighing. I wanted to find my mother to ask for clarification, but I couldn't even see her. Finally, when I was twelve years old, someone came to the school and told me that my father had passed away."

Nana was already sobbing when she heard this. Huo Yuhao also frowned as he listened. He stood up and took some tissues and handed them to Nana.

After a long while, Nana calmed down a bit and said, "I ran home frantically, but my father had already passed away. He died with his eyes open. Even though he was gone, his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he had seen something incomprehensible."

"Who is it? Who killed Dad? There is an obvious fatal wound on Dad's chest. Who is so cruel to kill my dad? I screamed Dad, Dad desperately. But Dad can no longer hear me and will never wake up again. Where is Mom? But where is my mom? Dad is dead, but Mom is still not here."

At this moment, the wooden door creaked open from the outside, and my mother came back. I looked up and saw that her face was as pale as paper, bloodless, and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul. She stumbled to my father's body, her legs softened, and she sat on the ground and pounced on him. I have never seen my mother lose her composure like this. Her hands were tightly grasping my father's bloody collar, her nails deeply embedded in the flesh, and the bright red blood oozed out from between her fingers, but she seemed unaware of it, just sobbing in pain, muttering to herself: "I told you that I would bring you bad luck, I would bring you bad luck! Why do you have to have an ominous woman like me... In another world, I hope I can forgive you..." As she spoke, she took out a short knife from her arms with trembling hands. The blade reflected her distorted face, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying. Before I could react, let alone call her "Mom",
She had already stabbed the dagger into her chest. Blood gushed out, splashing all over my face. The warm liquid slid down my cheeks, carrying a strong smell of blood. I could even feel the sweet smell spreading in my mouth. Mom groaned, her body twitched violently for a few times, then slowly turned her head and looked at me with a complicated look, with relief, reluctance, and more guilt and love. She raised her hand with difficulty, wanting to touch my cheek, but seemed to have lost her strength, and fell down weakly, and finally fell weakly on Dad's body. The bright red blood dyed the ground under them red, which was shocking.

He walked over to Nana and patted her shoulders gently, trying to convey a little comfort and encouragement to her in this way, signaling her to try to calm down her excited emotions at the moment. But Nana seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly with both hands, and her tears instantly soaked his lapels. "I'm so scared, I'm really scared..." Nana's voice trembled, like a candle swaying in a storm, which could go out at any time. "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to tell you this. Maybe, like my mother, I
He is also an ominous person, I..." Nana's words were intermittent, full of fear and helplessness. Huo Yuhao felt the trembling in his arms, and a surge of pity surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Auspicious and ominous are only relative. In front of fate, everything is false. Don't be bound by these meaningless thoughts. Wake up!" While speaking, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and a gentle and firm mental power wave was quietly released, turning into an invisible impact, gently falling on Nana's head. Nana's body trembled violently, as if an electric current ran through her body, and the hand that was originally tightly holding Huo Yuhao loosened involuntarily.

"I, I've entered that nightmare again, it must be..." Nana's face was pale, her eyes were blurred, as if she had returned to that terrible dream again. She smiled bitterly and glanced at Huo Yuhao, nodded gently, and said: "Thank you, I don't know how many times I have had the same dream, and every time I wake up crying, I can't stand this torture anymore. If you don't want to help me, I will end my life sooner or later, even if I can't meet my father and mother in another world, I don't care." Huo Yuhao looked at the fragile girl in front of him, his heart full of sympathy and determination. He said in a deep voice: "You have to tell me how to help you first, or what do you need me to do?"

Nana was silent, lowering her head, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands unconsciously, as if she was struggling fiercely in her heart. Huo Yuhao did not urge her. He could feel Nana's emotional fluctuations at the moment, as well as the struggle and contradiction deep in her heart. "Huo Yuhao, I'm sorry, I regret it a little..." Nana raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, and her voice was full of guilt and self-blame. "I can't let you get involved because of my own affairs. I can see that you are a good person." Nana's voice became lower and lower, like a mosquito's whistle. After saying this, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, turned around and walked out. "Stop." Huo Yuhao flashed and blocked the door, with a tone of unquestionable firmness. Nana raised her head and looked at him with a pale face.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Nana's trembling shoulders. A chill came from his fingertips. Nana's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not dodge. Huo Yuhao could feel the sadness and fear surging in her heart. This was definitely not a trick of playing hard to get. His eyes softened and his tone slowed down a lot. "Nana, I can feel that you are not playing hard to get. Tell me, what happened later? What are the origins of those strangers?" Nana raised her head. Tears blurred her eyes, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to swallow all the pain, and then slowly spoke in a hoarse and low voice, "They... call themselves the Holy Spirit Church, a very mysterious organization..." Huo Yuhao noticed that when Nana mentioned the three words "Holy Spirit Church", her body trembled noticeably, and her eyes revealed deep fear and disgust. "After they took me away, I was imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon," Nana continued, her voice getting smaller and smaller, as if she was lost in painful memories.
"There is no sunlight all year round, the air is filled with a rotten smell, and rats are running around in the corners..." Huo Yuhao could imagine the scene at that time. Such an environment was enough to make anyone despair. "They told me that Dad and Mom's souls were imprisoned by them," Nana's voice trembled even more, "They also deliberately released Dad and Mom's souls for me to see... I saw with my own eyes that Dad and Mom's souls were tied up with chains and endured unimaginable torture. Their painful wails still echo in my mind..." Nana finally couldn't help crying when she said this, and tears rolled down like pearls that had broken off the string. Huo Yuhao gently hugged her in his arms, let her lean on his shoulders, and silently comforted her. "Dad and Mom are really in so much pain, so much pain!" Nana choked and said, "They said that if I want Dad and Mom's souls to rest in peace, I must listen to them, otherwise, they will make Dad and Mom's souls never reincarnate..."

Nana's body trembled slightly, tears blurred her eyes again, and she choked and said, "They...they said that if my soul is not pure, then...they will never be reincarnated. They said that the soul will be tortured!" Huo Yuhao's heart tightened. Nana's voice was full of fear and despair, which made him more determined to help her. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "How do you want me to help you?" His voice was low and powerful.
With a reassuring force, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment. Nana lowered her head, tears silently falling. She bit her lips tightly, but no longer made any sound. Huo Yuhao could feel her inner struggle and pain. He took a step forward, his eyes sincere and firm, "Speak, I can feel that everything you said is true." As a spiritual soul master, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power is extremely strong. He can clearly feel Nana's emotional fluctuations. It is a kind of sadness and hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow, and it is definitely not pretended. His "Han Hai Wu Ya" spiritual sea gives him the power to see into people's hearts, and any falsehood cannot escape his perception. Nana took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions. She raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, and there was a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in her tone: "Yes... I was too impulsive, I shouldn't have come to you."

She lowered her head, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "How powerful is the Holy Spirit Church... and what exactly they do, I... I don't know." She tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, as if trying to grasp the last straw, "I'm afraid that I will implicate you if I ask you for help." Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. He could understand Nana's worries, but he didn't want to give up helping her. (End of this chapter)
