It was an afternoon a few months ago when Chiyuketsu Yi picked up a kitten.
The kitten was probably sick, so it was abandoned by its owner. However, under the care of Chiyuketsu Yi, the kitten recovered a little.
It was also at that time that Cao Zhongzheng discovered that Kitten's body contained a strange power. Although he was unable to analyze the nature of that power, after experimenting, he discovered that the power had a very strong compatibility. It could be used in almost any kind of witchcraft ritual without any hindrance.
However, not long after, the kitten died because of stomatitis.
Fortunately, the power did not disappear after its death. This made Cao Zhongzheng suspect that the source of the power was not the kitten itself, but something in its body.
However, considering that dissecting the kitten's body was likely to cause damage to the source of the power, in the end, he only buried the kitten in the most crucial part of his witchcraft ritual to provide energy for the entire ritual.
After solving the most crucial energy problem, Cao Zhongzheng began his plan. After the death of the cat in the car accident, the relatives that he implanted a spiritual suggestion in brought him back to the villa's hall and held a long funeral there.
The villa's hall was the starting point of the entire witchcraft ritual. Cao Zhongzheng came back from the dead and became a powerful undead creature.
Next, all he had to do was to quietly move away the more valuable items in his collection, and change his appearance slightly. With the power of an undead creature and the spells he had mastered, it would not be difficult for him to return to the peak of his life.
However, there was a flaw in the whole plan: the soul of the cat did not disappear after its death. Probably because of its attachment to Chiyuketsu Yi, it helped the girl to block the fatal injury during the car accident and let the girl survive.
The girl who survived attracted the attention of Xu Shenxing, who noticed that something was wrong and came to investigate. In the end, he discovered the secret of Cao Zhongzheng's resurrection.
It could be said that from the moment Chiyuketsu Yi came back to life, Cao Zhongzheng's plan had already slipped into an unknown direction.
"I'm almost done talking. You should give up now, right?"
Although Xu Shenxing seemed to be at ease, in fact, it was Cao Zhongzheng himself who was stalling for time by talking.
Only he knew how much damage Xu Shenxing's continuous punches had done to his spirit.
Therefore, he chose a part of his experience that was not very important and told them everything to stall for time and give himself a chance to breathe.
However, Xu Shenxing did not make another move after so long, which indeed made him feel a little better.
Seeing that Xu Shenxing did not move, Cao Zhongzheng's immortal body once again inflated his confidence. He thought that as long as he was careful and did not let Xu Shenxing catch him off guard like just now, he should be able to dodge his opponent's fist.
Just as he was about to make the first move to gain the upper hand, Xu Shenxing suddenly looked at him, which made him feel a chill in his heart, and he reflexively took a few steps back.
"Is that all?" Xu Shenxing asked.
"What do you mean?" Cao Zhongzheng was stunned.
"Oh, then it looks like you've finished talking." Xu Shenxing nodded in understanding. "I'm also a person who pays attention to reciprocity. Then I'll also tell you a little bit of good news."
As he said this, Xu Shenxing took a step forward. Cao Zhongzheng subconsciously took a few steps back, directly pressing his back against the wall, his whole body pressed against it.
Immediately, he became angry out of humiliation. He had an immortal body, what was there to be afraid of …
"Everything has a cause and effect. The so-called immortal body naturally cannot escape this category." Xu Shenxing completely ignored his expression, but slowly raised his fist and said, "If you obtain an immortal body because of medicine, then destroy the effect of that medicine. If you obtain an immortal body because of a treasure, then destroy that treasure together with it. If you obtain an immortal body from birth, then wipe out the fact that this thing was born … My fist is a fist that can shatter karma."
His tone was not boasting, nor was there any threat in his tone. He was simply stating a fact.
But it was precisely this that made Cao Zhongzheng feel even more terrified.
"For something like an immortal body, the number of people who have died under my fist and sword is almost enough to form a company."
"You … What exactly are you ahhhhh!" Cao Zhongzheng hysterically roared.
"A normal person."
As he said this, Xu Shenxing swung his fist towards the other party.
As long as this punch landed, Cao Zhongzheng would probably disappear along with the small cat's corpse that was his soul box.
But the moment he touched the other party, Cao Zhongzheng's body turned into snow-white ashes and scattered all over the ground.
It was not destroyed by Xu Shenxing's fist, but at that moment, Cao Zhongzheng's soul was pulled out of this body and transferred to another body that he had prepared beforehand.
"Tsk, pretty smart."
Xu Shenxing raised his eyebrows.
But this was of no use. As soon as he came in, the entire villa was already enveloped in the protection of the Sacred Land. And under Xu Shenxing's instructions, the protection of the Sacred Land was gradually shrinking. Cao Zhongzheng could no longer escape.
☆
Are you kidding me?
How could there be such a monster in this world!
Cao Zhongzheng, who broke through the wall of a sculpture, tried to adapt to his new body while running to the courtyard.
There was no chance of winning against the other party, so he could only think of a way to escape.
But as an existence similar to a Lich, he could not leave his soul box too far away. Before escaping, he had to dig out the small cat's corpse that was the soul box.
"I remember that it was buried here!"
The place where the small cat's corpse was buried was under the hibiscus tree in the courtyard.
Cao Zhongzheng's hands desperately dug up the wet soil, wanting to dig out the small cat's corpse, but he unexpectedly dug up something else.
It was a metal cookie box covered in mud and looked quite old. Unfortunately, the cookie factory of this brand had closed down a few years ago.
Cao Zhongzheng recognized this box.
It was a time capsule that he buried when he was young. Once upon a time, this villa did not exist, and there was a small building here.
That was the house of Cao Zhongzheng's grandfather. When he was young, Cao Zhongzheng did not live with his parents who were busy making money, but lived with his grandfather.
Even the name was given by his grandfather.
When he was about ten years old, his grandfather asked him and his brother, Cao Ge, to write down their future wishes and then bury them under the tree. They would dig it out when they grew up.
But he did not expect to dig it out at this time.
Now was not the time to look at it. The most important thing was to find the soul box quickly and then leave this place.
Although he knew in his heart, Cao Zhongzheng unconsciously twisted open the lid of the cookie box and saw the yellowed paper inside. "To me after I grew up,"
"After I grew up, did you become a useful adult? Not the kind of adult who can make a lot of money, or rather, it would be no different from my parents who abandoned me … But an adult who is useful to others, who can help others, who is relied on by others, who is respected by others. I think that kind of person can be considered as powerful. " "
"After I grew up, could you smile every day? I like smiles, whether it is others' or my own, I like them all. Grandpa said that a smile is a bridge that transcends language and can allow people to communicate with each other. To be honest, I don't know much about this, but I think that if you can smile every day, you must be very happy, just like me now. " "
"After I grew up, did you find someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life? Well, actually, this is just to make up the word count, because Grandpa said that I must write at least 500 words. Yesterday, I just happened to see a TV show like this, so I wrote it down. "
"Wife. To be able to be together forever, to understand each other, to not be separated no matter what, to protect her even at the cost of his life, that should be how people like that should be called, right? Did I find someone like that in the future? If only I could find someone like that. Also, if I have children, I hope to have a daughter, because that would be cuter, right? "
"In the end … after I grew up, did you become an indomitable, upright, and upright man? Just like Grandpa, you will not be defeated by difficulties, no matter what, you will be able to stand straight and accept the blows of fate, you will not give in, you will not give up, you will bravely move forward for your dreams and future. "
"That is my dream." "Yes.
"If it is realized, don't be shy, applaud yourself; if it is not, don't give up, I am cheering for you now ~"
"Cao Zhongzheng, written on 19XX, XX month, XX day."
"…"
Cao Zhongzheng felt that his hands were a little stiff.
There was also a piece of the same yellowed paper in the biscuit box.
He shakily picked up the paper and found that it was a few words written by his late Grandpa.
"Be peaceful and upright, don't forget your original intention."
"Ah …"
He trembled even more, although there was no physiological activity, he felt that his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.
"Not running anymore?"
The monster-like young man had slowly walked behind him without him knowing.
But Cao Zhongzheng had no intention of running away.
"I once had everything …" At this moment, he wanted to cry, but the tear ducts of this body had already stopped working, he could only murmur with a trembling voice: "But I destroyed them all with my own hands."
"In this world, once you do something, you can't go back."
Xu Shenxing was silent for a moment, and then slowly said.
"Does a monster like you also have regrets?" Cao Zhongzheng asked.
"Too many to count." Xu Shenxing replied with a wry smile.
"So that's how it is, power can't give you everything. So … I've been wrong all this time, and I've been so wrong. When I'm staring at one thing, I'll ignore everything around me. " Cao Zhongzheng lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and had a relieved expression on his face: "The soul box is under the hibiscus tree, you can do it."
This time, Xu Shenxing didn't hesitate, and raised his right hand …
☆
After dealing with the body, Xu Shenxing looked at the gem-like thing in his hand.
It was dug out from the place where the soul box was buried.
Although it looked strangely familiar, Xu Shenxing couldn't remember where he had seen this thing before.
"Forget it, since you're staying here, I'll use this thing to make a necklace for Chiyuketsu in two days." Xu Shenxing shrugged, and looked at the shadow floating beside him: "I think she'll be happy to return to her side as a guardian spirit … Although that girl is just a normal human, she can't see you."
"Meow ~"
The shadow let out a small meow.
"It's finally over, let's go home and eat ~" Xu Shenxing's face showed a big smile, and stretched: "It hasn't been long, but I feel like I've been hungry for a week."
"Meow ~"
