It was an afternoon a few months ago, and Yi Qiuyue picked up a kitten.
The kitten probably suffered from some kind of disease, so it was abandoned by the original owner, but under the care of Yi Qiuyue, the kitten recovered a little bit of energy.
It was also at that time that Cao Zhongzheng discovered that there was a strange power in the kitten's body. Although he couldn't analyze the nature of that power, after experiments, he found that that power had a very strong compatibility, and it could almost completely eliminate it. Unimpeded use in any kind of witchcraft ritual.
But not long after, the kitten died because of stomatitis and could not eat.
Fortunately, the power did not disappear after death—this made Cao Zhongzheng suspect that the source of the power was not the kitten itself, but something inside it.
However, considering that casually dissecting the kitten's body might cause damage to the far-flung energy source, in the end he just buried the kitten in the most critical place of his witchcraft ritual to provide energy for the entire ritual.
After solving the most critical energy problem, Cao Zhongzheng started his own plan. After his death in a car accident, those relatives who had been implanted with spiritual hints transported him back to the villa hall, where a special event was held. long funeral.
The hall of the villa is the starting point of the entire witchcraft ceremony. Cao Zhongzheng was resurrected from the dead, and thus became a powerful undead creature.
Next, as long as he quietly transfers the more valuable things in his collection away, and he also changes his face a little, relying on the power of undead creatures and the witchcraft he has mastered, it will not be difficult to return to the pinnacle of life.
But there was a single omission in the whole plan: the cat's soul did not die after death, probably because it had a nostalgic relationship with Yi Qiuyue, and helped the girl block the fatal injury during the car accident, allowing the girl to survive.
The girl who survived caught Xu Shenxing's attention, and made him realize that something was wrong and came to investigate, and finally discovered the secret of Cao Zhongzheng's resurrection.
It can be said that from the moment Yi Qiuyue survived, Cao Zhongzheng's plan had slipped into an unknown direction.
"It's almost finished, you should give up, right?"
Although he seemed to be able to do a job with ease, it was actually Cao Zhongzheng himself, not Xu Shenxing who was delaying time by talking.
Only he understood how much Xu Shenxing's consecutive punches had done to his spirit just now.
That's why he selected a part of his experience that was not very important, and told it all out to delay time and give himself a chance to breathe.
However, Xu Shenxing didn't do anything again for so long, which did relieve him a little.
After Xu Shenxing didn't move, the confidence brought by his immortal body inflated Cao Zhongzheng again. He thought to himself that as long as he was careful, he wouldn't be caught off guard by Xu Shenxing like just now, and he should be able to avoid the opponent's fist.
Just when he was about to strike first, Xu Shenxing suddenly looked at him, which made him feel terrified, and reflexively took a few steps back.
"Is that so?" Xu Shenxing asked.
"What's that?" Cao Zhongzheng was taken aback.
"Oh, it seems that you have finished." Xu Shenxing nodded clearly: "I am also very particular about reciprocity, so let me tell you some good things."
As he spoke, Xu Shenxing took a step forward, while Cao Zhongzheng subconsciously stepped back a few steps, leaning his back against the wall, and stuck his whole body against the wall.
It wasn't long before he reacted from embarrassment into anger, he was afraid of being immortal...
"Everything has an effect and a cause, and the so-called immortal body naturally cannot escape this category." Xu Shenxing didn't care about his face at all, but slowly raised his fist and said: "Because of the medicine, you have obtained the immortal body, then Destroy the effect of that drug; if you have an immortal body because of a treasure, then destroy that treasure together; if you have an immortal body once you are born, then erase the fact that this thing was born... A fist is a fist that can crush cause and effect."
His tone was not bragging, and there was no threat in his tone, it was simply telling a fact.
But just like this made Cao Zhongzheng feel even more terrified.
"For something like an immortal body, it's almost enough for a company to die under my fist and sword."
"What are you...!" Cao Zhongzheng roared hysterically.
"An ordinary person."
After finishing speaking, Xu Shenxing punched the opponent.
As long as this punch is real, it is estimated that Cao Zhongzheng will disappear together with the corpse of the kitten that is his soul box.
But the moment he touched the opponent, Cao Zhongzheng's body turned into snow-white ashes scattered all over the ground.
It was not eliminated by Xu Shenxing's fist, but at that moment, Cao Zhongzheng pulled his soul out of this body and transferred it to another body prepared in advance.
"Tsk, quite clever."
Xu Shenxing raised his eyebrows.
But it was useless, as early as when he came in, the entire villa was already shrouded in the "protection of the Holy Land" by him. Moreover, under Xu Shenxing's instruction, the protection of the holy land was still gradually shrinking, and Cao Zhongzheng could no longer escape.
…
Are you kidding me
How could there be such a monster in the world!
Cao Zhongzheng, who broke out of a sculpture, ran to the courtyard while trying to adapt to his new body.
There is no chance of winning with the other party, so now I can only find a way to escape.
However, as a lich-like existence, he couldn't leave his soul box too far. Before he escaped, he had to dig out the corpse of the kitten that was used as the soul box.
"I remember it was buried here!"
The place where the kitten's body was buried was under the hibiscus tree in the courtyard.
Cao Zhongzheng was desperately digging up the wet soil with both hands, trying to dig out the kitten's body, but accidentally dug up other things.
It was a muddy, old-looking metal cookie box, unfortunately the cookie factory of this brand had closed down a few years ago.
Cao Zhongzheng recognized the box.
It was the time capsule he had buried when he was a child—once upon a time, this villa did not exist, and here was a small building that was not too big.
It was the house of Cao Zhongzheng's grandfather. When he was a child, Cao Zhongzheng did not live with his parents who were busy making money, but lived with the old man.
Even the name was given by his grandfather.
When he was about ten years old, his grandfather asked him and his elder brother Cao Ge to write down their future wishes, and then buried them under the tree, and then dug them out to read when they grew up.
I just didn't expect to find this thing at this time.
Now is not the time to watch this. The most important thing is to quickly find the soul box and get out of here.
He clearly knew it in his heart, but Cao Zhongzheng unwittingly opened the lid of the biscuit box, and saw some yellowed paper inside. "To my grown-up self:"
"After I grow up, have you become a useful adult? It's not the kind of adult who can make a lot of money. It's better to say that it's no different from my parents who abandoned me... but useful to others, able to help To be an adult of other people, to be relied on by others, to be admired by others, I think only such a person can be regarded as powerful."
"When I grow up, can you smile every day? I like smiles, whether it's someone else's or my own. Grandpa said that a smile is a bridge that transcends language and can communicate with others; honestly Saying that I don't really know this, but I think it must be a very happy life to be able to laugh every day, as I am now."
"When I grow up, have you found someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life? Well, actually, this one is for counting the number of words, because grandpa said that you must write 500 characters. I just saw such a TV yesterday. So I just wrote it down."
"Wife. You can always be together, understand each other, never separate at any time, and protect her even if you risk your life. Is that what a person should be called? Will I find such a person in the future? If it is true It would be great if I could find it. Also, if I have children, I hope to have a daughter, because that would be cuter, wouldn’t it~”
"Finally... After I grow up, have you become an upright and aboveboard man? Just like grandpa, you will not be knocked down by difficulties, and you can stand upright at any time and meet the blow of fate, no I will give in and never give up, and I will go forward bravely for my ideals and future."
"That was my dream."
"If you achieve it, don't be shy, applaud yourself; if you haven't achieved it, don't give up, I'm cheering for you now~"
"Cao Zhongzheng, written on X, X, 19XX"
"..."
Cao Zhongzheng felt that his hands were a little stiff.
There was also a piece of paper that was also yellowed in the cookie box.
Tremblingly, he picked up the piece of paper and found that there were a few brush characters written by his late grandfather on it.
"Peace and integrity, don't forget the original heart."
"what… "
He trembled even more violently. Although he had no physical activity, he still felt that his chest was tight and uncomfortable.
"Aren't you running away?"
The monster-like young man had slowly walked behind him at some point.
But Cao Zhongzheng no longer had the idea of running away.
"I have obtained everything..." At this moment, he wanted to cry, but the lacrimal glands in this body had already stopped working, so he could only whisper regretfully in a vibrato: "But I destroyed them all with my own hands."
"In this world, once something is done, there is no going back."
Xu Shenxing was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Does a monster like you have any regrets?" Cao Zhongzheng asked.
"Too many to count." Xu Shenxing replied with a wry smile.
"So it turns out that power can't get everything. It turns out... I've been wrong all along, and it's so wrong. When I fixate on one thing, I ignore everything around me." Cao Zhongzheng lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and showed a look of relief on his face: "The soul box is under the hibiscus tree, you can do it."
This time Xu Shenxing did not hesitate and raised his right hand...
…
After disposing of the corpse, Xu Shenxing finally took a look at the crystal-like jewel in his hand.
It was dug out at the place where the other party said the buried soul box.
Although it was inexplicably familiar, Xu Shenxing couldn't remember where he had seen this thing.
"Forget it, since you are staying in it, use this thing to make a necklace for Qiuyue in two days." Xu Shenxing shrugged, and looked at the phantom floating beside him: "Go back to her as a guardian spirit. By her side, I think she will be happy too... Although that girl is just an ordinary human being, as long as she can't see you."
"Meow~"
The phantom made a small cat meow.
"It's finally over, let's go home for dinner~" Xu Shenxing showed a big smile on his face, and stretched his waist: "It's not been long, but I always feel like I've been hungry for a week."
"Meow~"
