Chapter 16: Cause and Effect

I finally came back to my senses.

I was tricked into coming here as a substitute for the dead.

Death is not my own will.

But the reality is that there is something that is driving me to death.

But my suona saved my life.

The sudden suona sound made Mrs. Wang obviously shocked, she turned her head to look, and her fingers inadvertently touched the blood of Lou Zhi on my face, which was not completely wiped off.

"Ahh

And at that moment, my physical weakness and discomfort suddenly dissipated.

I only felt a little relieved, and then I got up from the coffin, but the four paper figures hovering outside the coffin quickly held me down.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" When the man heard the shout, he ran over and held Mrs. Wang, and when his eyes fell on Mrs. Wang, he was also stunned, "Your hand-"

"My hands, my hands, no, how can this be!"

Mrs. Wang covered her hand that had been stained with blood upstairs, and her face was terrified, because that hand was disappearing.

Like the hands of the paper figurines that were ignited, they were burned to black and gray by the nameless fire, and then turned into crumbs.

She and her son desperately tried their best to hold it down with their hands, but to no avail, the fire on the fingertips burned bigger and bigger, slowly staining Mrs. Wang's whole body.

"No, I can't die, I don't want to die, no-"

Mrs. Wang screamed, but to no avail.

The man was also so panicked that he couldn't help it, and when he saw me in the coffin, he pointed to the paper figure and shouted, "Quick, get her." ”

The paper man was going to pull me to the man's side immediately.

Would I be willing?

Of course it is no.

I couldn't move before, but now I can, and I can move naturally.

I grabbed a paper figure with my backhand, clasped it with five fingers, tore the paper on its chest directly, and threw it to the side with my strength.

Taking advantage of the gap, I climbed out of the coffin, picked up the candle flame on the desk that had not been extinguished, and threw it at the paper figure.

Paper is most afraid of fire, and when it is stained, it is devoured.

I wasn't at a disadvantage against several other paper figures before, and this time it's even more impossible.

"Don't, don't let her put out the candle."

Mrs. Wang seemed to be very concerned about the existence of the candle flame, and I looked at the candle rolling on the ground, and it was not extinguished.

The man let go of Mrs. Wang and wanted to pick up the candle, how could I get my wish.

She wants my blood, she wants my life, she wants her desire to live, how can I make her succeed in this kind of thing?

As the saying goes, if a person doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if she offends me, I will pay it back twice!

I rushed over and raised my foot to extinguish the candle.

But there was another foot, and it got down faster than I did.

Black leather shoes, black trouser legs, clean and dusty.

I looked up at the straight and slender trouser leg, who was Lou Zhi?

"No—"

Mrs. Wang screamed and fell to the ground, stiff and motionless like a deflated ball.

Lou Zhi stepped on the candle and kicked the attacking man again, during which his hands were still in his trouser pockets, very chic.

"If you destroy this candle, you are murder in disguise!"

"Huh-"

The sound of the upstairs was soft, but long, and it instantly sounded the laughter that sounded in my head when I was lying in the coffin just now.

Could it be him?

"I only kill monsters." Lou Zhi's thin eyelids, slightly raised, fell on Mrs. Wang, her chin was slightly raised, with contempt and judgment overlooking everything, "Wang Rongxia, born in 1919, died in the summer of 1960. Before he died, he met a person and gave him a book. His son, with the book as a method, with the order of the son of heaven, reverted to Wang Rongxia at the end of the same year. In the spring of 1991, Wang Rongxia was seriously ill and was about to die, and she was resurrected to the same law, which existed for 31 years. One life, one life, once in thirty years. I'm wrong. ”

Mrs. Wang took away the lives of others twice in exchange for her life.

In fact, as early as 1960, she should have died like a normal person.

I thirty years.

One life, one life.

She took the lives of two people and lived two more lives.

In order to keep alive, she set her sights on me.

Because I'm hard, too.

There is an ancient saying that a person with a hard life has a long life, but he lives a long time.

"Wang Rongxia, if you target her, it is your karma. That's it. ”

Lou Zhi's feet forced, crushed the remaining candles, snapped his fingers with one hand, and Mrs. Wang's son also swished, and a raging fire broke out.

Lou Zhi didn't look at it, and strode out.

I also chased after her, and when I crossed Mrs. Wang, she still wanted to drag me, but as soon as she touched my clothes, her body was burned again.

Soon, even greater flames burst up from her body and sprayed all around, enveloping and engulfing the small happy room.

I ran into the darkness and saw Lou Zhi holding up the red umbrella in his hand for some time.

He was standing in the courtyard and seemed to be waiting for me.

I hesitated, stepped under the umbrella, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

When he saw this, he turned and left.

I had a full stomach, but for some reason, I couldn't help but ask.

We walked to the gate of the palace and walked out, only to find that outside, the original staggered alleys were gone, replaced by No. 44 Huaiyin Road.

My car was parked at the gate, and the lights were still on.

In the dark courtyard, the model of the royal mansion had all been burned, and the son of the old lady Wang fell to the ground, except for a head, all the bones underneath, and he looked dead for a while.

"So, he and Mrs. Wang are not human?"

"Strictly speaking, he is a walking corpse, and Mrs. Wang is a living person who borrowed her life."

"So there is really a word for borrowing life in this world? Trade the lives of others for your own desires. ”

"The world is so big, there are no wonders, and if you go against the sky, you will be rewarded in the end."

Lou Zhi was cold-eyed, and then walked out, and I followed.

Although I don't know what happened to the real Wang family over there, what is happening now is not fake.

I walked to the side of the car and found that Lou Zhi had not left, he was holding an umbrella, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"What for?"

"Drive, drive me back. After all, I saved you. ”

At that time, I had just unlocked the car, he had already put away the umbrella, drove to the door, naturally fastened his seat belt and sat down, then leaned his head on the back of the seat, closed his eyes, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was slightly pale, and he seemed to be very tired.

I stared sideways at him.

Such a building, there is a delicate and weak beauty, skin whiter than me, always revealing the slightest unhealth, but no matter what, it does not affect his peerless face that everyone is angry with.

I swallowed, after all, without him, I would have planted it tonight.

"Well, then!"

I started the car and drove slowly towards the road I had come from.

This time, it was going well, and I saw a yellow billboard on the side of the road, with a small tree bud on it, swaying slightly in the dark.

I drove out of Huaiyin Road and set out on my way home.

Lou Zhi sat quietly next to me, and I drove out for a long time, only to find that I didn't ask him where my home was.

"Where is your home?"

"It's good to stop here." He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the darkness outside the car, and asked without warning, "Were you in the coffin at that time, did you hear a strange suona sound?" ”

Suona?

I blinked, "No." Where did the suona come from? ”

He didn't answer, and after a while, he said, "When you wake up, bask in the sun for a few more days." Also, next month, don't go far away, remember. ”
