Chapter 1, he was killed at the beginning

Next Chapter

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the moon and stars are scarce.

Bai Zhou looked at the blood all over the room and fell into deep thought.

She had just been killed.

Not long after she graduated from college, she couldn't find a job because of the folklore she studied, and her grandfather begged her on the phone, so she had to promise to come back and inherit the family's shroud shop.

According to her grandfather, their family had been running a shroud shop for generations, and her father died when she was very young, and her mother remarried, leaving her to her grandfather.

For 20 years, the grandfather and grandson have depended on each other.

But when she returned to the shroud shop, as soon as she opened the door, she smelled a pungent rancid stench.

Grandpa had been dead for a month, and he was lying alone in bed, rotting beyond human shape.

Bai Zhou was overly sad and finished the funeral for him in a daze, only to suddenly remember that since his grandfather had been dead for a month, who made the phone call she received a few days ago?

She sat in the empty shroud shop, dazed.

It's almost twelve o'clock, and the moon is particularly bright tonight, and it seems to have a strange red.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

It's so late, how can anyone still come to the door?

She came to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door, and the street outside was empty, and there was no one, except for the dim and mysterious lights at the intersection, which gave the silent night a terrifying color.

Did you hear it wrong?

Just as she turned around, a man in a bright red raincoat suddenly rushed out of the darkness in the room, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, lowered her head, and saw a sharp blade piercing her body.

She looked up at the man, his big red hood covering most of his face, revealing only his bearded chin.

"Are you...... Who? Severe pain struck, Bai Zhou asked with difficulty.

The man laughed, a hint of madness and sickness in his laughter.

"A shroud seller, unlucky, and wants to marry into a wealthy family, damn it." The man in the red raincoat pulled out his dagger and stabbed it again.

He seemed to be a little abnormal, Bai Zhou had fallen to the ground, and he was still stabbing wildly.

The last sight Bai Zhou saw before he died was the man's smug and sinister smile.

"Destroy your eyes, make you unable to see, and don't even think about identifying me when you enter the underworld!"

With that, the man ferociously stabbed the dagger into her eye.

She sank into the darkness.

When Bai Zhou woke up, she found herself standing in a pool of blood, all the injuries on her body were gone, and her eyes were normal, if it weren't for the tattered clothes and the blood hadn't dried yet, she thought she had just had a nightmare.

What happened?

Is she still alive?

Bai Zhou touched his chest, there was a heartbeat, and his skin was warm.

She was killed and alive again?

She looked at the clock on the wall, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the night, and less than ten minutes had passed.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

"Xiaozhou, what's going on? Open the door! A slightly hoarse middle-aged man's voice came, Bai Zhou opened the door, and there was a sloppy middle-aged uncle standing outside, who was the ninth uncle who opened the coffin shop next door.

"Xiaozhou, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she was covered in blood, Uncle Jiu's face was frightened, "I heard a fight in your house just now, is it a thief?" ”

Bai Zhou said: "It's okay, I killed a chicken just now." ”

Uncle Nine showed a suspicious expression, glanced into the room, and asked, "Why is there so much blood when you kill a chicken?" ”

"I didn't kill it with a knife, the chicken flew, and there was blood everywhere."

Her expression was too calm, not like something was wrong, so Uncle Nine dispelled his suspicions, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's normal for you young people to not be able to kill chickens, do you need my help?" ”

"No need, I've already chopped off the chicken's head." Bai Zhou said as he stared at the top of his head, his eyes a little confused.

She actually saw a blood bar on the top of Uncle Nine's head.

It's the kind of health bar in the game, red, with a number on it: 20.

But Uncle Nine's blood bar is already empty, only 15.

What's going on?

Is she hallucinating?

"In that case, let's rest early. Alas, Lao Bai is in a hurry, you mourn. Uncle Nine comforted her a few words, turned around and walked back.

Bai Zhou suddenly found that there was a "+" sign behind the blood bar.

She couldn't help but reach out and nod in the void.

There was actually a number jumping on the health bar: "+1".

Uncle Nine was shocked, his originally somewhat rickety body seemed to be straightened, he rubbed his neck, and said to himself, "Huh? Am I not a cervical spondylosis offender? Why doesn't it hurt? ”

Bai Zhou was shocked.

Then she felt dizzy, as if she had just run 800 meters, and she was so tired that she was panting.

That health bar...... It turned out to be true?

She touched her eyes, the dagger had clearly pierced the eyeball, and she remembered the piercing pain vividly.

But now, not only are the eyes fine, but they can also see something weird.

What happened in those 10 minutes?
