Chapter 5 Overlord Clause
I followed Bai Susu's instructions, and after Ding Xiaofei fell asleep peacefully, I rushed into his body. I didn't open my eyes immediately, I wanted to lie quietly for a while, and I was delighted by the sleepiness I hadn't felt for a long time. I've never felt how happy it is to feel tired. This feeling gives me peace of mind and makes me feel grounded.
"You have 48 days, 13 hours, 59 minutes and 03 seconds left in your time." Disturbed by the sudden chime, I searched everywhere for the source of the sound. In a trance, I remembered the watch given by Bai Susu, and the second hand was passing wantonly. If you convert a person's life into days, it is only about 30,000 days, and if you are limited to 49 days, you are likely to face death if you fail to complete the task. How would you feel? Pressing? Fluster? Or sit back and fend for yourself?
I jumped out of bed in a fit of rage, and the smell of my body made me decide to rush into the bathroom to take a shower. I didn't expect the smell of the toilet to be stronger and pungent. I forced myself to open the rusty and yellowed shower head, and even though it was summer, the cold water from the shower head was still unbearable. There is no water heater in sight, let alone a bath bomb, shower gel or even shampoo.
I could barely use what I had to use the only bar of soap to cover my whole body from head to toe. When I finished washing up and stood in front of the only mirror in my house, I was startled by what I looked in the mirror, even though I was prepared. "Ahh My appearance, my figure, and even my voice have changed. He was no taller than my 180, skinny and dark-skinned. Looks, at first glance it looks very ordinary, and when you walk in, it's even more ordinary. "Am I Ding Xiaofei or Qin Yuan?" I was talking to myself in the mirror, my voice was much lower, and my pronunciation was not as good as it used to be. It was only then that I realized that the illusion I had thought was a dream was completely shattered. This 49-day catastrophe is 100 percent, real, and really I can't escape it.
I vaguely heard Ding Xiaofei's Wuchuan (a subordinate county under the jurisdiction of Hoh) accent, with a strong local atmosphere. And the novels I wrote were all "standard Mandarin" with obvious regional characteristics in the urban area of Hoh. I have to admit that I, like many young people born and raised in provincial capitals, will scoff at the people of the subordinate banner counties. It's not a deliberate rejection of outsiders, but a habit of life that I have been accustomed to since childhood. The accent is a clear sign that distinguishes people from small cities and provincial capitals, and it is also a sense of pride and a strong sense of belonging to the place that comes with the living environment.
I rummaged through the changes of clothes, and I didn't have much hope, as long as it was slightly neat and clean. After I changed into a T-shirt and jeans, I looked around and could see through the entire rental house without moving my position. The sun and shade are obscured by tight curtains, the vision is dim, and the air is filled with the smell of alcohol. When I opened the curtains, the sun was shining on my face, and my eyes were slightly uncomfortable, but when I opened the window to circulate, the indoor air was instantly much fresher. My admiration for this brother came naturally, and it was not easy for him to live to be 26 years old.
When the sunlight shone in, through the fine dust of the house, I could see that the room was full of wine bottles. The clanging sound was all cans and glass bottles, and there was no place to put your feet at all. I suddenly felt a tumbling stomach and nausea. I rushed into the bathroom and vomited, the air filled with the smell of alcohol mixed with filth. Of course, I knew that I had a bad stomach and would vomit whenever I drank alcohol, and for so many years, I barely drank a single drop.
After vomiting, I was hungry and searched the house, and there was no food in the house except instant noodles. I finally found the kettle in one of the few electrical appliances, only to find that the faucet had long been cut off. I was so furious that I ate all the instant noodles in a fit of rage. The living cannot be suffocated by urine, no one knows such a simple truth. I had already wasted an hour after packing up and getting my keys ready to go out.
The moment I opened the door, I found Bai Susu standing leisurely by the handrail of the stairs staring at me. Instinctively, I staggered back two steps and said, "People are scary, they are scared to death." ”
"I'm not human, you can only be half a human, and the physical body is not yours. It's a big difference in this living environment, and it seems that you can adapt to your new role very quickly. ”
"Come and see my jokes early in the morning, don't you? In the end, it's a ghost, it's too impersonal. Miss, are you really not busy? "I vented my stomach full of complaints in the face of the ghost, and I always felt that Bai Susu was just a lively girl, a little cool, and it was difficult to compare with the ruthless ghost. I can't help but wonder if the ruthless ghost in the film and television materials is really credible?
"You were taking a shower when I left, and I had to hand over another deceased, and you haven't even gone out yet. Do you think you're on a 49-day tour of the Ghost Gate? Except for the occasional impatience, Bai Susu's tone has been surprisingly relaxed and flat, and she continued: "I'm worried that you won't be able to digest so many unbelievable words that have been instilled in you, so I'll make a return visit." ”
"A return visit? Do you need me to give you a five-star review? Do you need to like it? No, you're not going to peek at me taking a shower, are you? Do I still have a little privacy, do you still have a royal law in the underworld? ”
"I know if I like it, but I don't need to. What do you have to see, your soul deity has something to see. Within the scope of the city, as long as I want to have nothing that I can't see, it's not that you haven't seen my skills. Naturally, there is a royal law, and the underworld and the world do not interfere with each other. Don't waste any time, let's get down to business, I reminded you an hour ago, and you can recite it now. ”
I muttered in my heart, whether she was a modern person or not, and I didn't understand the jokes at all. However, I still seriously recited the general meaning of what she had instructed: "First, I can't tell anyone that I am Qin Yuan's business, and I can't show my identity in any way; Second, he can only use Ding Xiaofei's body to complete the task when he is asleep. …… I can't remember the time, and returning Ding Xiaofei's body one minute late will reduce my time in the day; Thirdly, I can only earn the money where I need it. also specially warned: In addition to using Ding Xiaofei's body, you can't do anything bad or lack of morality, and you can't bring disaster to Ding Xiaofei in any way. "I'm a barrister with rigorous logic and a clear structure, so it's not a problem. Although I think these three are all imposed overlord clauses.
"Ding Xiaofei, black and white are reversed, but the schedule is very regular, he goes to work at eight o'clock in the evening and goes home after work at four o'clock in the morning. You have to get back to the hut before Ding Xiaofei gets up at seven o'clock in the evening. These are principles that cannot be violated, and the consequences of violating them are serious. ”
"How can I collect three tears without telling people who I am?" I asked, puzzled.
"Tell someone who you are, and you directly ask him if you love me, and if you can shed tears for me. Isn't it redundant to borrow someone else's body to possess yourself so complicated? ”
I had no choice but to agree.
Bai Susu took out three bells and whistles and handed them to me, saying, "Until you find a job to make ends meet, this money will be lent to you first, and it will be repaid in the future." ”
"Do you still need to pay it back? Does this work? I looked at her in amazement, followed by a simple, practical and cool wave of my hand, and the brand new 100-dollar bill appeared in an instant. If you add a five-cent special effect, maybe it will be more vivid. I casually extracted a little legal knowledge and asked her: "The number of the renminbi is unique, and what is turned out is counterfeit banknotes, and it is illegal to print counterfeit banknotes, don't joke." ”
"When you pay back the money, you can just change it back."
"Is it so sloppy? It's also too lax. ”
"Don't pull it down." Bai Susu wanted to reach out and get the money back.
"If you want, you can be a good person...... Do you want to take me to the hospital for a while? Three hundred, you see I'm too tight on this budget, I have to save some money. ”
"No, I was in a hurry to give you an introduction last night, and other than that, I can't interfere in the affairs of the world. If you are in a hurry, you can press the red button on your watch, and I will be on call. Don't press it lightly, I'm busy. Bye! ”
"Why can't I teleport? I can't even go through walls. Before Bai Susu's words fell, the trace disappeared from my sight, and my question turned into self-talk.
