"Hurry, hurry, wife, quickly burn this jerk to death, otherwise we might not even make it through tonight." Just as things were settling down, Su Yu hurriedly pushed the still-dizzy big cousin and shouted urgently.
"Okay!" Still a bit unsteady, my cousin finally came to her senses after being shouted at by Su Yu, and immediately agreed, picking up the gasoline that had been placed on the ground and pouring it over me.
"Gaga gaga—"
A mixed sound resembling a child's cry and laughter, eerie and haunting, echoed through the entire graveyard, making it even more sinister and terrifying. I knew it was the night owl's laughter.
When I was in college, I once heard from a senior in my dorm that her grandmother told her, "Don't be afraid of the night owl's call, be afraid of its laughter. If the night owl laughs, it means someone nearby is going to die."
Smelling the pungent smell of gasoline on my body, I sighed inwardly, "Could it be that I'm really in danger today?"
I feel like my blood is so tense that it's almost coagulated, and my heart is pounding in my throat.
Even my cousin, who was pouring gasoline, was startled by the shout. She poured half of the gasoline directly onto the ground. Even so, she didn't care and shouted at Chubby, "Son, light the fire quickly, after that, we need to leave quickly."
"Mom, I'll give you some. I have to go back with dad to bandage his wound." Chubby handed the lighter to his cousin and then ran off with Su Yu. Chubby was really scared, especially with a seemingly gentle father, which gave him the courage to say to big cousin.
"Okay, son, let's go first. Your mom is brave enough, she doesn't need us." Su Yu was really despicable, being led away by Chubby like this, leaving big cousin behind.
However, I am in no position to take care of myself, and I have no time to watch this play, nor do I have time to see my cousin being abandoned and others reveling in her misfortune.
Even so, I can still hear from a distance Su Yu praising Chubby, saying, "Son, you are good to your dad. Even if your mom doesn't want you, I still want you."
"Dad, this is what you said. Actually, I don't like my mom either. She's too fierce," I heard Chubby and Su Yu whisper from a distance.
"You two, you two are useless. Let me tell you, I, I'm not afraid at all!" Although my cousin said she wasn't afraid, she must have been terrified. Otherwise, when these two just said that to her, she didn't react at all. She pretended to be calm and shouted at me, "Did you hear that? Just now, night owl laughed. Yuan Xiaosan, you're done for today. Even the God of Heaven can't save you."
Cousin trembled as she picked up the lighter and struck it several times before finally igniting the small flame.
During this time, I repeated my plea, hoping that the spirits watching from afar could come up with some way to save me, or at least hold back big cousin. However, when those spirits saw the halo emanating from big cousin nearly dispersing Little Monster's soul, they immediately retreated several dozen meters, afraid that a misstep would lead to their own souls scattering.
My heart sank as I watched the small, blazing flame on my cousin's lighter, as if I could see the grim reaper approaching with a blood-red sickle. "No—"
I lost control, screaming in despair, closing my eyes, it seems the night owl's laughter is really coming true.
Sigh, that unreliable Little Monster said he was going to get reinforcements, but didn't say when he could come over. Now it looks like by the time he brings reinforcements, I might have turned into a wisp of a soul.
"Xiao Li, hurry, the Underworld Patrol Team is coming to capture souls. Let's disperse quickly, or we'll be charged with disturbing public order, and our chance to be reincarnated will be indefinitely delayed," I heard the teenage ghost who first spotted them whisper to the girl ghost beside him.
It looks like we're really in trouble now. Even the dark guard from the underworld is here for soul collection. Looking at the dark guard dressed no differently from the police in the human realm, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
The sky seems to know that someone is going to die. It was originally clear and bright, but suddenly strong winds accompanied by a torrential rainstorm, crazily descended, and the dark night sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, making it difficult to breathe.
As I watched the approaching dark guard, my will to survive gradually weakened, especially when the smell of gasoline on my body overwhelmed me, causing my consciousness to start to dissipate.
In a daze, the scene changed, and I inexplicably found myself in a city that I couldn't remember the name of, but felt very familiar in my heart.
From a distance, I saw a Dio Coffeehouse on the roadside, and I involuntarily walked in. I sat down in a private room, feeling a palpable unease in my heart, as if something big was about to happen.
Not long after, I saw a noble and fierce middle-aged woman with a beautiful face, accompanied by several bodyguards, walking over and arrogantly sitting across from me.
"Yuan Yuan, I'll give you two options: sign the breakup agreement or take the medicine!" The fierce and noble middle-aged woman first threw a piece of paper and a bottle of unspecified medicine in front of me.
"What medicine? And what does the 'breakup agreement' mean?" I asked in confusion, my voice trembling, as the ominous feeling in my heart grew stronger.
"Hmph, of course it's the abortion pill. As for the agreement, it means you and my son are breaking up, and from now on, you are not to see my son again. You weren't foolish when you were with him, so why are you pretending to be now? Are you trying to buy time, hoping my son will come to rescue you? Dream on. My son has already gone abroad and won't have anything to do with you," the middle-aged woman said with a disdainful snort.
I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes involuntarily filled with mist. Subconsciously, I nervously protected my slightly bulging abdomen, and my mouth seemed to act on its own, saying, "Mom, this child is your own grandson!"
"Pah!" The middle-aged woman scorned me even more, sneering, "Who is your mom? Don't call me that randomly. I don't think I have a daughter as old as you. Besides, do you even deserve to call me mother?! Yuan Yuan, you need to be clear about your identity. Besides, our family won't accept this kind of unknown wild species." The middle-aged woman's eyes and eyebrows showed even stronger disdain.
"No, my child, he is not a wild species," I screamed uncontrollably. I found that my mouth was increasingly out of control, saying things that I didn't even know what was going on.
"Sign, or take the medicine, hurry up! Don't harbor any illusions. I'm telling you, if you don't choose one today, don't think about leaving this café," the middle-aged woman said impatiently.
Then my mind became hazy again. I only remember somehow clutching my stomach tightly with one hand, and using the other hand to pick up a pen and sign my own name.
After that, I felt like I had just been in a fight with someone, my body was sore and tired, and tears flowed like broken pearls, non-stop.
Looking at the smug middle-aged woman holding the signed breakup agreement, I swallowed back the tears in my eyes and turned to leave this terrifying place.
"Stop right there, Chen Ming, make her drink this medicine," the middle-aged woman's sinister voice rang out like a devil as I stood up.
I stumbled and almost fell, steadied myself, and planned to speed up and run out.
Unfortunately, as soon as I took a step, a powerful arm grabbed me tightly, followed by a bottle of unknown medicine mixed with ice water being poured into my throat.
"Cough, cough..."
I coughed violently, feeling both startled and angry, and it took a while for me to calm down.
Staring at the middle-aged woman with bloodshot eyes, I uncontrollably howled at her like a wounded young animal, "Madam, unless you let me die here today, I will truthfully tell... how our child disappeared."
Who am I telling, and why do I have no memory? This sentence again came out unconsciously.
After hearing my threat, the middle-aged woman sneered in disdain and said, "In the future, if you dare to have any connection with... I guarantee that for every child you have, you will experience a scene like today, and your family will also be expelled from this city."
With that, without waiting for my response, the middle-aged woman walked away in her high heels.
Pain, it hurts so much. After the middle-aged woman completely disappeared in front of me, I held my stomach in pain and couldn't stand up straight anymore. My child, my child might be gone. No, I can't let anything happen to my child. That's the first thought deep in my heart.
Kneeling on the ground, I took out my phone. My vision started to blur, and I didn't even know who I was calling. I just heard someone speaking on the other end, and I started screaming for help.
In a daze, when I heard the other person affirming that they were coming to rescue me, I couldn't hold onto the phone anymore. My consciousness gradually became unclear, and all I remember is the floor covered in blood, just like in the dreams I often have. But this time, the feeling was so real, with the air filled with a strong smell of blood.
As I looked at more and more blood, my heart became so terrified that it went numb. I didn't know if I was in a dream at that moment, or if I was experiencing an illusion from being engulfed in flames.
By the way, I remember just being doused with gasoline by my big cousin, wanting to burn me to death. Could it be that I'm already dead, allowing me to recall the cause of my amnesia from five years ago?
Actually, I'm quite lucky. Even though I was burned by the fire, I didn't feel the scorching sensation of being burned by the fire. It's just that my abdomen hurts a lot. It seems that I must have accumulated some good karma in my past life.
"Ah—"
A miserable scream rang out. I realized it wasn't me making the sound. Then my face was covered with a warm liquid, and my head cleared up. The pain in my abdomen also disappeared.
I shook my head vigorously to shake off the unknown substance on my face, and when I opened my eyes, the sight in front of me took my breath away.
