She suddenly went black and lost consciousness.
When she regained consciousness, she found that her soul had left her body.
Juliet floated in the air, watching helplessly as Romeo dragged her corpse to this desolate raven graveyard.
She saw Romeo smash her face and limbs with stones, and even cut open her stomach and took out all her internal organs!
Then he dug a shallow pit and threw Juliet's body into it.
Then, he took out several black iron chains engraved with strange runes and tightly bound her hands and feet.
Finally, he filled the pit with soil and erected a simple tombstone on it.
Juliet desperately wanted to return to her body and stop Romeo's actions.
But she was just a ghost who had just died and couldn't do anything.
She could only watch helplessly as Romeo Aurelio finished doing all this and then disappeared into the night of the cemetery.
Those iron chains engraved with runes have a powerful suppressive effect.
They not only imprisoned Juliet's body, but also her soul.
Unable to leave the cemetery, she could only endure the torment of pain and resentment day after day.
"I was so stupid, really."
Juliet's voice was filled with self-mockery and regret.
"I can't believe his nonsense."
For him, I abandoned my family, left my hometown, and came to this godforsaken place.
I gave him everything, and this is how he treated me!
Her bloody tears flowed down her blurred face, dripping onto the ground and forming a dark red pool of blood.
The resentment around them intensified, and even the air felt thick and sticky.
"I'm not reconciled."
I'm really not reconciled!
Juliet's voice became shrill again.
"I want revenge!"
I'll make that bastard Romeo pay for his crimes in blood!
Otto listened quietly to Juliet's story, his heart filled with emotion.
He never imagined that such a seemingly simple paranormal request would hide such a sad story.
"I can help you remove those chains."
Otto remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"This will at least make you feel better, and it's a way of saving face for you."
Juliet looked up at Otto.
Although she had no facial features, Otto could sense the complex emotions in her eyes.
There was surprise, doubt, and a barely perceptible hint of anticipation.
Why are you helping me?
Juliet asked with particular curiosity.
"Aren't you adventurers supposed to only do things for money?"
But upon hearing this, Otto simply shrugged.
"You are a victim and have the right to seek revenge."
Besides, I don't want to hurt Phyllis's feelings.
She likes you a lot.
Upon hearing Phyllis's name, Juliet calmed down slightly.
"That little girl, she is indeed very cute."
Every time she comes to my shop to make clothes, she brings me some snacks she made herself.
It's such a pity, I'll never see her again.
She was silent for a moment before hesitatingly speaking.
"But no matter what I say, you will ultimately purify me, won't you?"
Juliet looked at the Soul-Purifying Flame in Otto's hand, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.
She could sense the immense power contained within that flame.
Otto could purify himself to the point of complete annihilation at any time, if he so desired.
Otto didn't speak, but responded with silence.
His Soul-Purifying Flame can indeed directly purify the soul and help her return to the divine realm.
Seeing that Otto remained silent, Juliet took it as a tacit admission of her suspicions.
She took a deep breath and then said solemnly.
"Let's make a deal."
At this moment, Juliet's true nature as a merchant gradually emerges.
Even as a ghost, and filled with resentment, she retained her merchant instincts, striving to maximize her own profits.
"Do you want to make another fortune?"
Juliet asked.
Juliet seems to have found some opportunities.
Otto merely raised an eyebrow, looking at her with some surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"I know that bastard Romeo has already run off with my money."
Juliet said helplessly.
"I hope you can help me find him and then kill him."
I won't let you work for nothing.
In return, I will give you a fortune.
"wealth?"
Otto was somewhat puzzled by the ghost's suggestion.
But Juliet offered an explanation.
"As a businessman, I naturally cannot put all my wealth in one place."
I had a backup plan; I hid some of the money and jewelry in a place that even Romeo was unaware of.
"If you are willing to help me kill Romeo, this fortune is all yours."
Otto did not respond directly upon hearing this.
As he pondered the pros and cons, he began excavating Juliet's tomb.
This was the first time Otto had ever made a deal with a ghost.
But judging from Juliet's tone, the fortune was indeed considerable.
If he could acquire this wealth, he might be able to get a better suit of armor and a sharper sword.
This will be of great help to his future adventures.
The problem is, Romeo has long since disappeared.
In half a month, he has probably left the area around Silverfrost City, and may even have left the Northern Territory.
Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just as Otto hesitated, Juliet seemed to see through his thoughts.
She continued.
"This is just a suggestion."
I won't expect you to definitely find him.
Just search as best you can.
Of course, to show my sincerity, I can let you make a profit first.
"If you could write a letter for me and send it to my family in the South, telling them what I've been through here."
I can have my family give you a generous reward.
"Just don't purify me now. Give me some time, let me wait and see what happens to that bastard Romeo."
Juliet was doing everything she could to increase her chances of winning.
She was unwilling to die like this, unwilling to have her soul scattered like this.
She wanted to watch Romeo die right before her eyes.
For this, she was willing to give up everything, whether it was wealth or dignity.
Otto was indeed somewhat tempted by Juliet's proposal.
However, he has a commission to fulfill, and if he cannot resolve the anomaly in the cemetery, he will not only fail to receive his commission fee, but it will also damage his reputation within the Adventurers' Guild.
With this in mind, Otto had an idea.
"Ms. Juliet".
Otto stopped shoveling and spoke slowly.
"Are you willing to make a contract with me?"
"contract?"
Juliet was puzzled; what was the other party trying to do?
