"Fali, did you just get your salary?"
"No."
"Then why did you buy so many things? Don't expect me to pay for the cosmetics. "
Fali rolled her eyes. "I didn't plan on asking you to send me. I'll pay myself."
"The things in here cost more than a thousand dollars, right? I asked you to borrow money the day before yesterday, but you said you didn't have it. "
"I used a credit card." Fali rolled her eyes. "My father gave me this card."
"You've been working for a few years. You're still using your family's money?"
"I can't help it. I'm used to spending. My father also knows that my job can't support me."
"So, is your family very rich?"
"Yeah. At least my father's income should be high."
When they left the supermarket, the trunk was stuffed full.

UCLA —
"Smith, it's so late. Why aren't you going home?"
"No," Smith said, raising his head and adjusting his glasses. "I still need to organize the data today."
Smith was a historian and had also received his PhD from UCLA.
He was now a lecturer at UCLA, mainly researching the Mayan and Inca civilizations.
He had led teams into the Amazon Rainforest many times to investigate the traces left by the Mayan civilization.
Moreover, he had also brought back many ancient relics of great historical value and research value.
It could be said that Smith had a successful career and a happy family.
However, 12 years ago, Smith had divorced his wife in a flash.
Smith's colleagues were all shocked. They couldn't understand why the two, who had been in a stable relationship, would suddenly divorce.
Also, after the divorce, Smith had become decadent.
The handsome, handsome professor who had been the idol of all the girls in school was gone.
In his place was a dispirited man with a face full of stubble and a body full of stench.
After the last colleague left the lab, Smith stood up and took out a gold coin from his pocket.
Looking at the coin, Smith's eyes flashed with a complicated expression.
This gold coin had been found in the ruins of the Mayan civilization. At that time, there had been a rich man who had hoped to obtain this gold coin and had come into contact with him.
Smith had been tempted because he had really been short of money back then.
The price offered by the rich man was also very high, so he secretly took it out from the ruins and did not report it to the archaeological team at that time.
However, this was a cursed gold coin. From the moment he received this gold coin, misfortune began to linger around him.
The first victim was the tycoon. The day after they completed the transaction, the tycoon died suddenly in his home.
This gold coin had mysteriously appeared in his pocket, and then his pregnant wife had an accidental miscarriage.
It was also because of this miscarriage that he and his wife parted ways.
At that time, Smith already felt that the coin was strange and ominous, so he tried to destroy it.
He took the gold coin to the teaching building and dissolved it with sulfuric acid.
The coin melted in front of him, but disaster struck again.
On that day, more than a dozen students wanted to steal something from the warehouse. However, Smith had just taken out the sulfuric acid from the warehouse and forgot to lock the door, allowing the students to enter the warehouse smoothly.
By the time the others found out, the dozen or so students were already dead in the warehouse, poisoned by chemicals.
The gold coin that should have been destroyed returned to his hands again.
At that time, Smith did not realize the seriousness of the problem. He tried a few more times, but the gold coin always returned to his hands in strange ways.
No matter where it was thrown, or if it was completely destroyed, the gold coin would return to his hands again.
Moreover, he discovered a pattern. The more he damaged the gold coin, the more serious the accidents would be.
Moreover, all of these things happened around him.
However, he also discovered one thing. Every time someone died, he would receive the corresponding amount of wealth.
Starting from the first tycoon, he received a large sum of money from the tycoon, and then the tycoon died.
After that, it was the dozen or so students. After their deaths, Smith won the second prize of the Powerball lottery, which was the American lottery, a whole million dollars.
The money was like a reward for his service.
At first, Smith felt excited, but then he began to shudder.
Although it seemed that all of his income was legal, every time such a coincidence happened, he would not be able to sleep at night.
Therefore, later, he began to try to let others take over the gold coin.
However, the gold coin would still return to his hands. Depending on how long it took for the gold coin to return, the other party would also suffer different degrees of accidents.
Half a year ago, he went to Hawaii for a vacation and left the gold coin on the cruise ship.
The next day, he received the inheritance from his grandfather, whom he had not seen for many years. It was a total of twenty million dollars.
Then, he heard that the cruise ship he had been on had gone missing in a storm.
At that time, there were more than two thousand passengers on the cruise ship!
At that moment, the gold coin in Smith's hands trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound.
"Is it coming again?" Smith looked at the gold coin in his hands, then walked towards the abandoned school building.
All these years, Smith had been studying the gold coin.
He more or less knew some of the characteristics of the gold coin. The gold coin seemed to feed on souls.
This gold coin had two special conditions. The first was hunger.
If it did not kill anyone for more than a week and remained in Smith's hands, then it would randomly cause disasters to the people around Smith, and at least one person would die in each accident.
The other condition was when it was full. Just like now, the gold coin would make buzzing sounds and vibrate slightly.
At this time, the gold coin had to find a place to release the extra souls from the gold coin.
And the abandoned school building became a place for Smith to release the souls.
All these years, Smith did not know how many souls he had released in the abandoned school building.
The abandoned school building had become a real haunted house. Many students who entered it had more or less met with accidents.
The school had tried to demolish the school building, but there were a few accidents because of this.
One time, the school planned to demolish the old building by blasting, but the explosives prepared by the construction company blew up the people from their own company.
Another time, there was an accident with the construction machinery. After the excavator dug down a wall, four people were crushed to death.
Since then, the abandoned school building had never been passive again.
