CHAPTER 1 - PARCELS

According to the original trajectory of my life, after graduating from college, I would enter an internship company, work hard, get promoted, get paid, and then go on a blind date, marry a nice girl, and have kids.

Of course, I said exactly what I said.

The most fascinating part of life is that when you walk on the road, you never know if you'll pick up the money in the next second or if you'll step on dog shit.

Looking back now, those decisions that I made at that time were the turning point of my fate. It's just that I was standing at a fork in the road, the clouds in the sky were swirling, the wind was blowing, the days in my mind were dull and ordinary.

It was mid-September of 2014.

I had just graduated from a second-rate university, and at the graduation banquet, my brothers and I had drunk our fill of wine, sworn our vows to each other, and one day when we were rich we would never forget each other. People are like that, they like to look forward to their successful future when they are young, but they never consider the cruel reality.

I drank a lot that day, and I was not much of a drinker, so I rarely drank much, and when I got up the next night I felt like my head was going to burst open.

I subconsciously called out to my brothers in the dorm by their nickname and told them to pour me a glass of water. The next second, I looked at the empty rented house and felt a little disappointed. From today onwards, we would have to go our separate ways.

I banged my head hard and staggered over to the living room to get some water. I had found a place to rent before graduation, and of course it was a joint one. It was a second-rate university, but it was a first-tier city, and I couldn't afford to rent a house in a city that cost dozens of yuan for a bowl of noodles.

After walking out of the district for less than 500 meters, there would be a large supermarket. At the back of the district, there would be a middle school, and we could even play tennis in school. When I found this district, I was wild with joy, so I urgently signed a contract with the landlord before I could even understand the situation of my roommates.

When the landlord told me I had a roommate, he had an odd look on his face, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I was busy with graduation and moving house, and I hadn't seen my roommate very well, except when I came home in the early hours of the night.

It was about three in the morning, and I was so tired from running all day that I almost fell asleep on the floor.

I pushed open the door and was startled. There was a shadow sitting on the sofa in the living room. My first thought was that I had been robbed?

However, if I think about it, this is an old-fashioned residential district. Not to mention thieves, there aren't even that many who would pick up trash.

Cautiously, I walked around to the side of the sofa and examined it. It looked very similar to the photo the landlord had shown me, and it looked like my roommate.

My roommate is a girl, so all of you must be very envious of her hearing about it. Actually, it doesn't have the benefits that you think it has. I've been here for so long and have seen her no more than three times.

She slowly turned her head to look at me. I had forgotten to turn on the light, and the moonlight was flowing in the dark room, and her face was pale, almost bloodless, in the moonlight, but this was the first time I had looked at her closely.

She stared at me for a moment, then shook her head and got up to go to her room.

My original thought was very simple. Such a good house, let alone a roommate who is a weirdo, even if it isn't a human, I would still live in it.

It's not safe for you to come back too late in the evening, was the last thing she said before she entered the room, and the first thing I said on the day we shared a room.

At that time, I was a little touched. For a roommate that I had never met before to be so concerned for me, it seems that there are still many good people in the world.

At that time, I patted my chest with a strong expression on my face, Don't worry, I've also practiced this before, I'm not afraid of little furry thieves. I've practiced martial arts with my grandfather for many years, and when I was young, I was very naughty and often fought with others. When I was in university, I even learned to fight freely.

She laughed softly and entered the room. At the time, I just thought she might not believe what I said, that it wasn't safe, that she wasn't referring to an ordinary thief.

I reached into the living room and poured myself a cup of hot water. I drank it slowly, then turned around and saw a folder on the table in the living room. I went over and picked it up.

En, Shen Zhu and An Xin … F * ck me! Mine?

I was very surprised. In my memory, no one would send me anything during this period of time. The living expenses of my family would all be transferred to me, so it wouldn't be possible for my old girlfriend to send me anything.

So who sent it to me?

I looked at the package and it didn't seem like it was sent over. There was only a simple signature on the outside and no address.

I opened the folder with the intention of investigating the problem. There were several documents and a package. I placed the package on the sofa and sat down on the sofa. I drank some hot water and started flipping through it.

The top document was a labor contract. It stated that I had already signed a contract with a company in Qingan City, and all the items were listed on it. The salary was reasonable, 5 insurance and 1 gold.

Now the problem is, I don't have a contract with this company.

To be exact, I've never been to this company to apply for a job. Although I've been to this company many times before, I don't remember having to apply for a job at all. I haven't even submitted my resume.

I was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, I still couldn't think of what it was. Instead, I felt my head hurt.

I set the papers aside and began to unpack.

The package was hard, square in feel, and had a handle. I was curious, as I knew that some companies would offer employee benefits, but I was a newbie, and I wasn't worth the company's attention, so what was going on here?

I tore at the wrapping paper layer by layer. It was wrapped pretty thick, and my hands were shaking as I looked at the increasingly sharp outline of the package.

Because when I look at the shape, it's actually a gun!

Hehe, that can't be, how could it be … It must be something else, I told myself, my hands shaking as I continued to unpack. I had never imagined that I would actually get hold of a gun.

I took a deep breath, and my hand shook so badly that I cursed myself for not being able to pull out the last of the wrapping paper as I slowly unwrapped it.

I tore very slowly, and came face to face with a heavy black iron color, some incomprehensible pattern, I paused, comforted myself, and prepared to continue to tear.

What are you doing? An indifferent voice suddenly came from beside him.

I jerked my head back and froze in place!

My roommate, the one I'd only seen once since I'd moved in, was standing in front of me, expressionless.

She had a gun in her left hand and was pointing it at me.

CHAPTER 2 - HAND CHAIN

It is said that before one dies one will look back at one's own life, and what one has done will be shown in one's mind like a slide show. Academics call this behavior a near-death experience.

I don't just have slides in my head right now! The speed of the display was three times faster than the speed in the Extreme Miracle World!

At that moment, from the beginning of the Big Bang to the beginning of humanity, I thought about what I should eat today. What happened last night, I felt that if I had been able to think about it so quickly in my college entrance exam, I would have gone to a first-rate university.

Then I raised my hands. I want money in my bag. I want people to be ugly but their bodies are still alright. Big brother, if you have something to say, don't shoot me.

That's right, I have no backbone... I can hit, but when I face a gun, I'm not inflated enough to think I can use my body against a bullet.

She looked at me blankly for a moment, then slowly put the gun away and reached for my face.

It's over! This big sister is going to have sex, my heart tightened. I had seen the news about the guy on the TV before, but I didn't expect to meet him one day. I simply closed my eyes and prepared to face the incoming storm.

So cold, I blurted out, and the first instant her hand touched mine, I felt a bone-piercing cold, like the snow in winter and the moon. If I didn't open my eyes, I would have thought it was ice swimming in my face.

It's so good, I heard her say softly. I don't know why I suddenly felt a little sad, but I opened my eyes carefully and she looked straight at me. Her eyes were beautiful, like the clear and empty night sky after the rain.

She looked down at the package on the table, which was still unopened. She picked up the papers and looked at them, frowning, then looked back at me. She glanced at me and muttered, How did you get hired by this company?

I don't understand. Does she know about this company? Before I could say anything, she held the document up in front of me and asked, When did you sign the contract with this company?

I... I don't know, I don't remember ever going to this company to apply... I stuttered.

Hurry, think carefully, someone must have contacted you. Have you recently received a phone call asking if you want to go to work? Her tone sounded a bit hurried.

Let me think carefully … Dammit, I drank too much last night, my head hurt just thinking about it. I held my head in my hands and said, Last night, I was drunk while walking on the road. I remember … I seem to remember that when I got downstairs, my cell phone rang and I answered it... It seemed like … It seems like he's just asking me if I'm going to work, and that voice is a bit strange …"

Right, isn't it a voice that has no emotions at all? It's just like the voice of a dead person.

Right, right, that voice doesn't have any emotion. I clenched my left fist and smashed it on my right hand, then scratched my head in embarrassment, You know … I've been looking for a job and I've been out of my mind... Of course I agreed when I heard that there was a company that needed me to go to work."

That's it, she said, looking at me with some pity. You're going to die, boy.

I... Am I dying?

I shivered and forced myself to smile calmly. Haha, that can't be. You shouldn't make such a joke in the morning. I'm going to get angry.

Hmph, she sneered, Brat, I don't have the time to joke around with you. Since they sent you this, it means that they have already determined that you will die, so there is no way for you to escape.

I suddenly felt furious. It's so early in the morning and my life has only just begun, yet you already said that you're about to die. How can you be so annoyed!?

She seemed to be able to tell that I was a little angry. She shook her head and turned around to walk back into the room. Brat, let's live our days properly. Let's hurry up and do what we want.

I was at a loss as to whether I should believe her or not. But since there's no enmity between us, why would she lie to me? Or should I say that she's just bored?

Impossible! Who could be so bored?

I was still hesitating on the sofa when he seemed to remember something. He turned around and walked over to me again. When he was in front of me, he looked down at me.

Hearing this, I subconsciously touched my right wrist. It was a bracelet. There were 18 of them, and each bracelet had a character engraved on it … It should be a word, I don't know it anyway.

She pinched my wrist and carefully examined it. There was a peculiar expression in her eyes. She asked, Who left you this thing?

My grandfather left this for me, I answered vaguely, not knowing how she had become interested in the bracelet in my hand.

Take it off and let me see. Her tone was strange, but I was too shocked to notice.

I took off my bracelet and handed it over to him. Just as I was about to hand it over to him, I withdrew my hand and she smiled. Don't worry. I don't want this thing. However, it was left to you by your grandfather. You might still be able to save him.

Hearing this, I quickly handed over the bracelet. This matter was related to my life and I couldn't hesitate.

He held the bracelet in his hand and turned it over and over. His bony fingers traced the words on the bracelet one by one.

I've been wearing this bracelet for years, and it's because I ran into a ghost in a graveyard when I was a kid.

My grandfather was in the country, in a small building he had built himself. Behind the building was a large area of melon land, just like the one in the desert, except I had never forked into it before.

Since I was a child, I have always loved to run all over the mountains and plains. My grandfather normally wouldn't care about me, letting me go around crazily, using his words to say that a boy must be raised, that it is proper to stay at home forever. This is also the reason why I like to stay at my grandfather's house.

That year seemed to be the same as the first half of the seventh month. During that time, my grandfather repeatedly warned me not to go out and run around at night, but I, who was used to my craziness, didn't plan to listen to him.

At that time, I heard that there was a ghost fire on the mountain, so we took advantage of the dark night to climb the mountain. At that time, I heard that there was a ghost fire on the mountain, so we took advantage of the dark night to climb the mountain.

Then I fainted.

When I woke up again, it was already the second day. Only then did I know that I had fainted on top of the grave mountain. When my little friend didn't find me, I thought I had returned home.

I remembered the look in my grandfather's eyes when he looked at me. There was self-blame, and there was also regret. Anyway, there was a very complicated look in his eyes. He was furiously smoking a cigarette by the side.

Two days later, my grandfather brought me back this bracelet. He told me to wear it all the time, and it lasted for more than ten years, until the day of my grandfather's death.

Before my grandfather passed away, he called me to the bedside, and told me that I must always wear it, no matter what, I mustn't leave my body. After saying that, tears began to roll down my face, and I kept saying to my grandson that my grandfather had let you down, or something like that.

The next day, Grandpa left.

Brat, it seems like you have not only met with strange things recently, but something has been following you since you were very young, she thoughtfully said as she held the bracelet in her hand.

I suddenly felt a little dizzy. From the moment I took off my bracelet, I felt that I had been seeing things until now, when I could see everything in front of me.

I dropped to my knees, clutching my hair with both hands, and I felt the world begin to spin before me. Countless images flashed before my eyes, the woman with the knife, the white shadow, the man with the angry roar. I felt all the images spinning in my mind, like a whirlpool in the deep sea.

She was shocked by my actions and quickly knelt down to support me. She nervously asked, Brat, what's wrong?

As I squatted down, the bracelet returned to my body. At that instant, all the images fiercely collided with each other and with a boom, it exploded!

The world went dark and I passed out.

This was just the beginning.

CHAPTER 3 - KNIFE SCAR

When I woke up again, the lights were already shining outside the window, and the night was as dark as ink.

The first thing I did when I woke up was to get ready to crouch down. It was a terrible feeling, and I was afraid that if I stood up and hit my head on the floor, my unwise mind would become retarded.

She was standing by the window, her back to me, a cigarette between her fingers.

She must have heard something behind her. She moved her body and said without looking back, You're awake?

Mm … How long have I been asleep? " I subconsciously nodded my head before realizing that she couldn't see me.

She raised her hand as if she was smoking a cigarette, and continued to watch the quiet night outside the window. If you're awake, then go wash up. If you don't want to die, then come with me later.

I got off the couch and rushed to the bathroom to wash, but the next thing I knew was something very strange.

Just as I was about to wash up, I suddenly saw a very peculiar scar on my neck. I subconsciously touched it with my hand, but I didn't feel much. In fact … I don't even feel my hands.

I'll f * cking … What the hell is this? My hands are trembling. It's not that I'm timid, but anyone who suddenly sees a knife scar on their neck would be terrified.

In the mirror, there was a cut on my neck that looked like a slit in my throat, but no blood flowed out, and there was no pain to touch, but it was there, on the neck where I had been breathing.

After testing the knife in front of the mirror for a long time, I confirmed that it wasn't an illusion, but it didn't affect me at all. I calmed down a little and took the time to wash up.

I washed up and went into the living room. She was still standing by the window, as if she hadn't changed her posture since I went to wash. I walked slowly behind her.

You … How many cigarettes did she smoke? I caught sight of the end on the windowsill, and I counted about a box of them. I was a little surprised that she wouldn't be standing here all the time smoking.

She looked back at me and said flatly, What's the matter?

I said hesitantly, Can't you get dizzy? Smoking so much at once makes it easy to get drunk …" Usually, if you smoke too many cigarettes at once, it can easily lead to a situation of drunkenness.

Tsk, I'm such a weirdo. I'm already about to die, why should I care about others getting drunk.

She seemed somewhat surprised that I would ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment before smiling, You're really strange. You're obviously dying already, and you still have time to worry about whether I'm drunk or not.

I scratched my head awkwardly. I'm really a weirdo. I'm already about to die, why should I care about others getting drunk over and over again?

Actually, I still didn't quite believe what she said. After all, apart from that weird knife scar, there was nothing else wrong with my body right now.

She casually stubbed out the cigarette in her hand. Looking at my appearance, she suddenly asked, What, brat, are you still suspecting that I was lying to you?

How did she know what I was thinking?

Nervously, my right hand subconsciously touches my neck. This place is a circle of bandages, and the bandages I found in the bathroom when I was rummaging through boxes and boxes were used on me. After all, I don't want to be the object of attention on the streets.

She still had that lazy look on her face. What? Has something strange already appeared on your body?

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, That's right... When I was washing myself, I saw a knife wound on my neck. However, there was no blood flowing out and I didn't feel anything.

Her eyes hardened as she stared at me. A knife wound?

I nodded.

She thought for a moment, then patted my shoulder as she walked towards the door. Brat, we have to hurry. That thing is already taking your life. I don't want you to die by my side. If that happens, I'll lose too much face.

I followed behind him, a little puzzled in my heart. How could I lose face when I die beside you …

We went downstairs and walked out of the district. When we arrived at the entrance of the district, I looked at him. She looked at me and snappily said, Why are you looking at me? Watch the way!

I... I feel wronged, you are a person, I don't know anything right now, what road you want me to look for, I don't even know where to go.

She seemed to read my mind again, and waved her hand. Take me back the way you've been drinking these past few days. We need to know where you got into trouble.

Why didn't you say so earlier... You have to shout if you don't want to talk, I thought.

She glared at me again, and I hurried to lead the way. My life was on this man, and if he didn't run away, I would be dead.

The night in September hadn't cooled down yet. It seemed that it had rained earlier in the day, but the air was still filled with the unique scent of soil after the rain. Facing the night wind, my panicked mind slowly calmed down.

What happened these two days was too weird. First, a company that I had never been to before had sent me a job contract and a gun, and then my roommate told me that I was going to die very soon after getting this gun and that he wasn't going to help me, so I don't know why he was willing to help me now.

Thinking about this, I subconsciously touched the bracelet on my hand. This bracelet hadn't left me since my grandfather died, only leaving me during the day. The next night, a knife wound appeared on my neck, which made it inevitable that these two matters should be linked.

I thought about what my grandfather had said to me before he died. Why did he say he was sorry? What exactly did I encounter at the mountain of graves back then?

Thinking about that, my head hurt a little. The events of those days blurred in my mind, like the early morning of a winter's night, when the fog was filling up the place. You were only a few steps away from the people on the street, but no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't see it clearly.

Brat, what are you doing? Do you have kidney problems? Your steps are crooked, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ohh@@

After graduating from university, he had a lot of friends he had after all. Once he graduated, he would be separated by heaven and earth. He might not be able to see her again for the rest of his life.

I began to recall who I'd been meeting with the other day. First, a week ago, at the Student Union, when I'd gone back with them, back to my bedroom that night, we hadn't seemed to encounter anything except shouting and being warned by security guards.

And then, five days ago, I was at an association meeting, and I frowned at the thought.

Seeing my expression change, she leaned forward and asked, What, did you remember something?

I hesitated, because I seemed to remember when I had been in touch with the company, and when I got drunk that night, I went back to my room and slept through the night. I was woken by the phone ringing.

I was still half asleep, and if I hadn't been peeing, I probably wouldn't have been able to pick up the phone. When I heard the phone ring, I went to the bathroom with my pants up and answered the phone.

What did you say on the phone? she asked.

I remember that the voice on the phone asked me if I was interested in going to work at the company, and I couldn't be sure if it was a dream when I got drunk, I tried to remember. I remember, he said.

She nodded. That's right, it's their company's style.

I looked at him, puzzled. My roommate seemed to know the company I was going to work for.

Later on, the documents were sent over one day by a courier boy. At that time, I was playing a game and the group battle was intense, but he asked me to sign it. I thought it was a courier or something, so I signed it and gave it to him. I just forgot about it …"

She looked at me like I was an idiot, and I could feel his naked contempt for my IQ.

After all, as a graduate, if I don't look for a job properly and play games, I don't even know when I signed any contracts.

Alright, what happened after that? She waved me on.

Oh, then what happened was... Hiss!" I was about to continue when I felt a sharp pain in my wrist. I took a deep breath and jerked up my sleeve.

There was a strange image on my wrist, a cut slowly appearing on the left side of my wrist. I had never thought I would ever see my skin being cut open.

The incision slowly widened, and soon it covered my entire wrist, but there was not a drop of blood that came out, and I felt no other sensation than the sudden pain I was starting to feel.

Brat … You're in trouble … She looked up, and I followed.

At the end of the road, there was a dim yellow light, as if a woman had appeared out of nowhere.

It was night. Everything was quiet and serene, filled with ghostly shadows.

CHAPTER 4 - GHOST

In the dead of night, the dim light of a street lamp and the sudden appearance of a woman, these three were enough to create a scene that was absolutely necessary for a horror movie.

However, this wasn't a horror movie, but a real one. I felt my whole body tremble.

I've given up trying to comfort myself that the woman is just a late office worker. Have you ever seen a late office worker with tattered hair hanging down her chest and standing barefoot under a streetlight?

Large... Elder sister …" Trembling, I reached for her hand. It would at least give me a little sense of security, but instead I reached for nothing.

My heart sank. The person who had spoken behind me a few seconds ago had disappeared as if he had never been there.

Could it be that this person wants to harm me? But why would she want to be without enmity between us? What's more, if he really wanted to hurt me so much while I was at home, why would he drag things this far?

The chilly wind was howling and the chill was bone-chilling. On this hot September night, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine. I felt that I was overthinking things. My top priority was to deal with this woman in front of me who didn't seem like she was alive.

According to the law of horror movies, I definitely couldn't run away screaming. I would definitely die if I ran away. I also couldn't explore the front out of curiosity. If I died faster, I would die faster … Am I going to stand here and wait for death?

The street was so empty that I couldn't even find a place to hide. I stared at the woman nervously.

and so on...

Was it my imagination? Why do I feel like the woman is approaching me?

I rubbed my eyes and looked back at the light.

That's right! She was really approaching me!

The woman was in the middle of the street lamp, with the yellow light above her head. I had been in a daze when she reached the edge of the circle of light and was about to step out of it.

This discovery made me give up the idea of standing in a daze while waiting for death. I was at a loss as I frantically searched my body, trying to find something that could help me defend myself.

Suddenly, I felt something hard on my waist. I was stunned for a moment before I took it out. It was the gun in my bag from before. When I left, I placed it on my waist.

Having watched too many movies, I knew that to ghosts, guns were almost harmless, but at this moment, I felt a little more at ease. After all, it was better to have a gun than nothing, after all, if I died and became a ghost, I could still say that I tried my best to resist.

I had never learned how to shoot, but I usually liked to browse through all kinds of firearms, so I had a little bit of understanding about how to shoot. I took out my gun, turned on the safety catch, and used the power I knew to face the woman, I really admired myself for being able to prepare myself to shoot even though I was already sweating so much due to the nervousness.

I stared at the woman who was getting closer and closer to me. I was so nervous that I could only try my best. It all depended on me whether I lived or died.

My fingers slowly pulled the trigger, and my hands trembled …

Hey! Kid!

A loud roar suddenly sounded in my ears. I was so scared that I trembled and directly snapped my fingers!

Bam! The sudden burst of force caused my hand to lift upwards. The muzzle of the gun changed direction, and at this moment, it seemed as though time had stopped. I could see the bullets shooting out from the barrel, spinning layer by layer, piercing through the air and shooting straight towards that weird woman …

Of course, that's impossible. I'm just an ordinary person, I only know that I fired my gun, and when I reacted, my first action was to turn around and grab onto my roommate tightly. I was about to cry: Big Sis! Where did you go?!"

She frowned and slapped my hand away. She pulled out his gun from somewhere and stared at the woman in front of her. Boy, you missed your shot. Remember, when I shoot, you run back.

I nodded my head eagerly, wishing I could run now.

She completely ignored my actions. After drawing her gun, she didn't stop and directly fired at the woman. In the next second, the situation suddenly changed!

Originally, there was no wind on the street. However, after he shot, the bullet seemed to have hit the woman. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the street lamp in front of them began to flash crazily.

What are you standing there for!? Hurry up and run! "

Only then did I wake up and run back. At a time like this, I could only trust my roommate to hold on.

Big Sis is looking at you! This little one will leave first! " I shouted as I ran.

I ran for who knows how long, until I saw a pedestrian appearing. After a closer look, I found that I had already arrived at the bustling night city. At this moment, there were a lot of people, and people were coming and going from the food stalls on the street.

Phew … I wonder how big sister is doing … I was afraid that if it wasn't for her, I might really have died there tonight.

Phew, you scared me to death. Kid, you're quite quick-witted, a voice suddenly entered his ears.

I turned around. It was a familiar indifferent expression. My face was flushed and I was sweating profusely along the way, but she looked as if she had just walked over.

She looked at me blankly and frowned. She walked to a shop by the roadside and sat down. She waved at me. What are you waiting for? It's fine now. Come over and rest for a while.

Hey, I said, and hurried to sit down. Big brother, from now on, you are my big brother. I don't know how to address you.

Hmph, she laughed, Now that I think of asking my name, I don't even know where I went to previously, yet you dare to follow me when you don't even know my name.

I scratched my head with a blush. Hehe, isn't this elder sister just being nice to you …

That's enough, when ordinary people encounter this kind of situation their legs would go soft, so you can be considered to be very good. She took out a pack of cigarettes from who knows where, and took a deep drag, My name is Luo Yiyi, don't call me elder sister. I'm not that old, just call me Yiyi.

Ai ai, good. I ordered a bottle of wine and gulped down a mouthful of it to quell my shock. The things I had encountered in the past two days had far exceeded what I could bear.

Loewy just smoked slowly, not saying a word, just looking at me, and I was a little flustered by her stare.

Brat, she exhaled a mouthful of smoke, his face was a bit blurry in the smoke, The aura of the dead on you is getting heavier and heavier. If this goes on, there won't be any need for Fierce Demons to take your life, and the Black and White Impermanence will have to take you away as a dead person.

I almost dropped the bottle, but the experience of the past two days told me that she must have had more to say, or else she wouldn't have been able to tell me.

But you're lucky, she continued. We met that one tonight, probably the one that's wrapped around you.

With some lingering fear, I cautiously opened my mouth and said, About that, Big... Yiyi, what's going on tonight? Why did you suddenly disappear? "

Luo Yiyi extinguished her cigarette and looked at me strangely. Actually, I've been behind you this whole time.

Huh? I was surprised. Why didn't I see you when I started to feel behind me?

I was behind you all along, but we stayed in different places, you were dragged into her territory by that woman, and I didn't go in for a while, but luckily you didn't scream and run around, otherwise I would have had to come in and collect your corpse. She also took a bottle of wine, but she poured it into her glass and sipped it.

Oh right, look at you, I think you're going through some changes. She pointed at me.

Startled, I raised my hand and saw a wound slowly appearing on my left wrist. It looked exactly the same as the one on my right wrist, but it was much slower this time.

What the f * ck... No way …

CHAPTER 5 - COMPANY

From the current situation, I am at the most dangerous point of my life in more than twenty years.

Strange knife wounds continuously appeared on her body. Luo Yiyi, who had an unknown identity but saved me, randomly met a woman who should be a ghost. Finally, there was a pistol that was sent to me by a strange company.

As I drank, I counted the strange occurrences I had seen in the past few days. I clutched my head in a panic. I felt that my life could be worse.

Brat, just ask me your name. You still haven't told me your name, or else I'll call you that. You don't feel well, and I'm not used to it either. Luo Yiyi put down her glass and looked at me.

Oh, my name is Shen Zhu'an, I replied hastily. The big boss had to ask me in time, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take out my gun and give it to me.

Shen Zhu An … Shen Zhu An, Luo Yi muttered to herself thoughtfully, What is your relationship with the Wu Shan Shen family?"

What Wu Shan Shen family? Where is Wushan? Shen family? Was it the kind of Wealthy and Prominent Class family in TV dramas?

Loyal shook her head at my confused expression and lit a cigarette. She asked me to tell her why he smoked all day long without worrying about lung cancer.

Well, you probably don't know anything about it, she said, pointing at the gun at my waist. I helped you once today, but I can't help you forever. That gun is only used to disperse, it can't kill that thing.

Then what should I do? Seeing that she still had more to say, I quickly asked.

Join that company.

What did you say?

Are you deaf when I said that you would join that company? Only that company can help you now. That thing has been with you for decades, and its cause and effect are intertwined. Now you've only dispersed her. If you want to completely rid yourself of her, you'll have to start from the root.

What does the origin have to do with me joining that company? I was puzzled.

Since you want to start from the source, you have to investigate the origin of that injustice. Otherwise, as long as the resentment does not go away, even if you disperse her, she will come back to you sooner or later. Luo Yiyi had a serious expression, Only that company will be able to find out.

This made me flinch. In other words, I had a ticking time bomb installed beside me that could explode at any moment.

Are you sure that company will be able to find out the origin of the thing following me?

Of course! Luo Yiyi was resolute and decisive.

Then why didn't you look at me and say those words …

Drink, drink …

I'm beginning to doubt the man's reliability.

However, in this life or death situation, I could only trust her once. After all, she had saved me before, and I could not find anyone else to help her.

By the way, you call the company and ask them where they are right now.

Where can I call? I don't even know the phone number, I said, holding up my hands. The last time I had heard from him was in the middle of the night, and when I went back to look at my notes, I didn't find anything.

Look at the handgun. The handgun will have a number on it. The number behind the number is their phone number.

I pulled the gun out of its holster and followed her words. I did see a string of codes, and I dialed the number and it went through.

Hello, welcome to Heaven and Earth, a hoarse old voice said from the other end of the phone. I shivered at the sound, as if I had heard something from the underworld.

H-hello. I want to ask, where is your company located?

The other party reported the location and the phone was disconnected.

After hearing my explanation, Loyi was stunned for a moment before she said, These old geezers have changed locations again … Could it be that he was kicked out again for not paying the rent? "

I began to wonder if the company could help me.

Alright, you have to believe me. This company can help you. Seeing my skepticism, Luo Yi Yi waved her hand to reassure me. Let's go. We'll head over after eating these things.

Ah, no. Sis, are you really unable to do anything? I couldn't help but ask, because I really didn't want to go to that company. I had a strange feeling that ever since I had the gun in my hand, it was like the gangrene in my bones had made me feel bad, scared, and persistent.

After looking at me for a while, Luo Yi Yi helplessly sat down and said, Fine, you really don't want to die even if you don't want to. I'll give it a try.

Saying that, she took out a bronze coin from her bag. On one side was carved a thousand years of history, and on the other was engraved a pair of fish. It didn't look like anything valuable.

What are you doing? I took the coin and looked at it. It didn't look like an old thing.

This is the loathsome money, specially used to suppress Baleful Yin, Luo Yiyi explained, and then she took out two more, Here, put your hands on the table.

I did as she said and spread my arms on the table. She placed three bronze coins in my hands and said, Nuo, this is the momentum of the Three Scholars. To the Yin Sha, this is already a killing formation.

As the last copper coin fell, I felt a wave of cold spread out from behind my back, spreading to my hands, but it was blocked by something. The cold became stronger, as if monstrous cold water was rushing through my body, and my body formed a cold and hot region with my hands as the boundary.

After a moment of stalemate, the cold yin aura suddenly surged out and forcibly pushed the three copper coins out. I immediately collapsed onto the table.

Tsk tsk, look, I already told you that I couldn't do anything about it. That Yin Sha has been following you for dozens of years and it won't be that easy to eradicate him. There are some methods that only they can use, Luo Yiyi resentfully sat down.

It's fine. Come and drink a mouthful of wine. Speaking of which, it's my fault too. You've brought that bracelet with you for so long. If I hadn't told you to remove it, I'm afraid you wouldn't have deteriorated so quickly.

Only then did I realize why this fellow would suddenly feel so guilty. It was her unintentionally aggravating my situation.

Then why did you ask me to take it off!

Back then, I didn't know … It's not convenient for you to wear it on your hand, so take it off and look … Luo Yi Yi turned her head and said with a flushed face.

At this moment, her previous unyielding appearance had disappeared. She was like a real little girl, unwilling to acknowledge her mistake even at the cost of her life.

Seeing that there was nothing Luo Yi Yi could do, I had no choice but to accept my decision to look for that company.

By the way, you should be careful when you get there later, they don't have anything you can casually touch, Luo Yiyi reminded me before she left.

I nodded. If I didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, after all that had happened, I had to believe that there was something in this world that could not be explained by science.

As I was preparing to set off, I suddenly thought of a question. Luo Yi Yi also had that gun with her.

Luo Yiyi, where did you get that gun from?

Hey, you'll know about this gun in the future, Luo Yi Yi said without turning her head. I'm warning you to hurry up. Otherwise, you can call people to retrieve your corpse.

Just as I finished my sentence, I heard a slight crack. Lowering my head, I discovered that the pearl on the bracelet had cracked!

CHAPTER 6 - OLD SUN HEAD

Halfway there, the phone call came back. When I answered it, it was the same voice as before. However, it wasn't as hoarse as before. Instead, it was a little flustered.

Hey, are you coming over now?

I, I am, I am coming over, I said, looking at Loyi.

Alright, I'll give you another address and come back tomorrow afternoon!

I didn't have the time to open my mouth before another roar came from the other side.

Aiyo, grandaunt! Don't throw anything! It's just a little rent, we'll definitely pay it off for you! "

Aiyo, that can't be thrown away! That's for suppression. Even if we were to throw it away, we'd still be out of luck!

Luo Yiyi was laughing her head off to the side, while I foolishly looked at the phone in my hand that had been hung up. It seemed that what she said was true. Were these guys really driven out because they didn't have enough rent?

You're still smiling? So unreliable that they can really help me?

Believe me, they really can, Luo Yiyi said righteously as she straightened up.

Then she burst into laughter again: Hahahahaha! But I didn't expect these old fellows to be so miserable. I'm dying of laughter! Oh no! Tomorrow I'll have to laugh at this old fool for putting on this act the day before.

I had to go home with a dark face and spend the night worrying.

The next morning, early in the morning, I pulled Loyal along to the address the man had given me yesterday.

Loyal introduced me along the way. The person who answered the phone yesterday was an otherworldly expert with a strong mana. He had great attainments in eliminating Yin Sha. I didn't comment on that.

Oh right, there's a broken bead on the chain in my hand. What's going on? I remembered and showed her the bracelet.

It broke? Unexpectedly, Luo Yi Yi's expression changed and she grabbed my arm, What did you do to it? How did it break?

I, I didn't do anything … Seeing how Luo Yi Yi was acting as though she was facing a great enemy, I started to get nervous as well.

After a moment of silence, Loyi lowered my hand and shook her head before walking away. It's nothing. We'll talk about it when we get there. I can't be sure for a while.

Half an hour later, we finally arrived.

I say … Are you sure that person is an otherworldly expert?

An expert from beyond this world... There are some differences …" Loyi muttered softly.

Other than fortune-tellers, it's also fortune-tellers!

It wasn't that I didn't believe Luo Yiyi, but that she had come this early in the morning to find out that I was going to a famous tourist attraction in Qing An City, the Destiny Bridge.

As the name implies, the bridge occupies three-quarters of the
