She thought to herself, "You're someone who can barely take care of yourself; how can you help me?" and then smiled, asking, "What can you do?"
Zuo Ci pondered for a long time. Finally, he managed to utter a phrase that made the young girl’s face turn pale with fear: "I can kill!"
The Blind Girl whispered back, "You? I won’t report you to the police. Hurry up; the Public Security Bureau is less than ten miles away. Be careful not to be seen by others!"
The young girl thought he was a murderer, yet she couldn’t understand how someone with such a youthful voice could be capable of killing. He seemed so kind!
Thus, Zuo Ci remembered that little shop. This was also the first time he wanted to earn money. He wanted to make life a bit better for the young girl. For some reason, he just felt that way.
Later on, he began to frantically take on small jobs and earned a lot of money. However, while he knew how to make money, he didn’t know how to spend it wisely. He had the means to enter five-star hotels but chose instead to eat several bowls of four-dollar noodles at the young girl’s shop every day.
The young girl worried that the money he earned was dangerous, yet she also feared he wouldn’t have enough to eat and couldn’t bring herself to chase him away. Over time, this formed a closed loop.
The young girl learned Zuo Ci's name and affectionately called him by it. He also learned her name—Shui Yuqing—a beautiful name indeed.
Just as Zuo Ci began to gain notoriety, the Blind Girl's shop was discovered by enemies.
"Those who often linger by the river cannot avoid getting their shoes wet."
When Zuo Ci first started out, he wasn’t as ruthless; he always held back in his actions. He only targeted his mission objectives and never harmed their families.
Later on, he realized he was wrong.
In this world, there is no room for kind-hearted people. Even less so for hypocrites.
The young girl had been cursed by her enemies, and curses come in many forms. Many are designed to torment a person without leading to death. Typically, sorcerers want you to pay a price. Most often, that means losing wealth to avoid disaster. But a death curse is relentless; it offers no respite. You either break the curse, engaging in a battle of wits with the caster until one of you dies, or you succumb to the curse itself. There are no other subtle possibilities.
He still remembered how the blind girl’s body was infested with gray-white tendrils, which pierced her skin like steel needles, binding her flesh and blood. The once delicate-looking girl now appeared grotesquely bloated and ugly, as if she had drowned and turned into a giant, or like a poorly made inflatable doll, her skin threatening to burst at any moment.
Zuo Ci was skilled in combat magic but utterly inept at dispelling curses. He watched helplessly as the blind girl suffered to death before him. He recalled her last words: "Zuo Ci, do you really kill people? If so, then just end my life; it hurts too much, I can't bear it anymore, Zuo Ci! Please!"
Zuo Ci gritted his teeth but ultimately could not bring himself to do it. Later, he learned that the one who cast the curse was the descendant of his previous target, seeking revenge. "Cutting down the grass without uprooting it allows it to grow back in spring!" This saying became etched in Zuo Ci's mind.
After the girl’s death, Zuo Ci frantically began searching for the sorcerer who had cast the spell. After much effort and many twists and turns, he finally found him. Once he captured the man, Zuo Ci unleashed thirteen types of sorcery he had learned from Southeast Asia upon him in succession. To prevent the man from dying from pain too quickly, Zuo Ci painstakingly acquired many rare treasures from Bie Bao Ren that could revive the dead.
Like a madman, Zuo Ci killed that man’s wife, children, parents, and relatives right before his eyes, turning them into Ren Xiao. Then he commanded these Ren Xiao to do his bidding.
Bit by bit, he was devoured until only white bones remained. Throughout this process, the sorcerer could sense everything.
From this moment on, Zuo Ci truly acquired the terrifying titles of Cao Juan Ren, Zuo Ren, and Gui Ren, names that struck fear into the hearts of many. However, behind this series of names lay the hidden sorrowful past of Zuo Ci, a story known only to him.
