Ji Yu, a great witch from ancient times, foretold the decline of a dynasty's fortune, suffered a backlash, and perished. She reawakened, transmigrated into the body of a young girl who had drow...
[Crazy: When I get back, I must check what my child does at school.]
[After watching a psychotic drama: Make sure they realize that their jokes or pranks are serious matters.]
It's reassuring to see the parents in the livestream show this awareness. It makes me angry every time I see those weird parents who take advantage of their children's young age and don't educate them.
[Name-criticizing parents who bring their children on the high-speed train. It's so noisy it makes my head hurt, and I can't say anything. When I do, the parents are not happy, acting like they're throwing a tantrum, and they're like, "Come on, come on, I'll leave my child to you. Just make him shut up." Damn, it makes me so angry.]
[Sound of Stepping on Snow: Hey, hey, hey, I got off track. I think it's really important for schools and parents to educate children about bullying, so they know what they can and can't do. Oh, and some parents even need to educate themselves. Don't underestimate the fights between children. If things get out of hand, I hope you won't rely on the Minor Protection Act as a shield.]
[I ordered.]
On the way back, Shen Baizhou looked at Ji Yu from time to time while driving.
Ji Yu yawned and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask directly."
"Miss Ji, if I'm not mistaken, you originally intended to burn that female ghost to pieces?"
"Um."
"In fact, it doesn't matter if Miss Ji really disperses the ghost. She has killed several people. Even if she is thrown into the underworld, she will not escape hundreds of years of punishment."
"Even if it takes hundreds of years, there will still be a chance for reincarnation. She and her child will have another chance to meet again."
Ji Yu leaned against the car window. She knew better than anyone else that those children who bullied others would not suffer any retribution. No one cared that the interactions between children were actually full of malice.
Sometimes, they are even uglier than adults.
Back at the store, Ji Yu said goodbye to Shen Baizhou, and Zhang Nannan brought over a bowl of hot noodles.
While eating noodles, Zhang Nannan kept staring at Ji Yu. She put down her chopsticks and said helplessly, "What do you want to ask?"
"Master, tell me, why can some things protect both the victim and the perpetrator? What is their meaning?"
"Everything that comes into being is to protect the vast majority of people, Nannan. Nothing in this world is perfect. If it benefits the vast majority of people, then it is a success."
Zhang Nannan nodded in sudden realization, and imagined that if that thing was not there, the consequences might be even worse.
"I'm going to be out for a few days tomorrow."
"That sister who went to teach? Master, she really died. What a pity."
Ji Yu sipped his noodles and said, "This calamity is destined for her. If she can avoid it, she will be safe and sound for the rest of her life. If she can't, she should be careful in her next life."
Zhang Nannan: …
Be careful in your next life.
“I’ll be back soon. During this time, you can handle what you can in the store. If you can’t handle it, you can go find Mr. Shen.”
"Understood, Master."

The next morning, Ji Yu set out for Lao Chen Village, the city where she was studying at a university. Zhang Meng arrived early according to the address she gave.
"Sister Ji Yu, I'm here."
The narrow streets near the university are mostly filled with food stalls. Ji Yu wanted to make a quick decision, but he was tripped up by the food.
When Zhang Meng found Ji Yu, he was holding a cup of milk tea in his left hand, a starch sausage in his right hand, and his little finger was holding a large bag of grilled skewers with amazing strength.
"Ji, Sister Ji Yu?"
Zhang Meng read Ji Yu from beginning to end, rubbed his eyes hard, and wondered if he had made a mistake.
Sister Ji Yu, who was like a god in his heart, now blended perfectly into the crowd.
"Beautiful lady, your two servings of roasted sweet potato skins are ready."
"Thanks."
This time, Ji Yu easily held it with the middle finger of his right hand. Zhang Meng had no doubt that the person in front of him could hang the food on all ten fingers without any effort.
"Which one do you want, roasted potato skin or roasted sausage?"
Zhang Meng, who wanted to refuse, later chose roasted sweet potato skin.
"Ji..."
"Just call me sister, don't call me Taiquan, it's really annoying."
Ji Yu sighed deeply, thinking about how when she first came here, she was enthusiastically chased for several miles by the students here. Fortunately, she climbed onto the roof and the students below could not catch up with her, so she escaped from their clutches.
Later, Ji Yu learned her lesson and cast a spell directly on her face, so that others would see her face as an ordinary one.
As for why Zhang Meng noticed her, it was of course because Ji Yu saw him first.
"Let's go first to the rental house of the only college student in Laochen Village and pick up something."
Zhang Meng almost bit his own lip when he bit the roasted sweet potato skin.
"Sister, didn't you say someone was dead in there?"
"Yes, there's a dead person. Let's go over there and get something first, then call the police and have them come and collect the body."
"Ah, in that case, do we still have to record statements or something? Will that waste time?"
Although he had learned from Ji Yu that Zhang Wen was dead, Zhang Meng still wanted to take his sister's body back in advance.
"Don't worry, someone will take care of it when the time comes, and it won't delay our trip."
Zhang Meng suddenly remembered the man and woman from last night, who looked like officials, so he said nothing more and followed Ji Yu obediently.
"Sister, do you want me to help you carry it?"
"Do you want to carry it?" Ji Yu weighed it and handed over a large bag on his middle finger: "This one is lighter."
After getting it, Zhang Meng clearly pressed down his right arm.
But he is a man and cannot be a coward. How could he not be able to carry such a small thing?
The two of them ran around in the alleys near the school, and finally stopped at a small white building with four floors, and went up to the fourth floor.
As soon as I stepped onto the fourth floor, a faint unpleasant smell came.
"It smells like this, hasn't anyone noticed?"
"No one's living on the fourth floor yet. A student will be moving in in a few days, and then they'll notice something's wrong. Alas, I was kind enough to give that student some protection in advance, so he won't be traumatized by seeing the corpse."
Ji Yu brought his men directly to a room at the end of the corridor. The smell became stronger and stronger, and it was obviously coming from this room.
Zhang Meng nervously held a bag of snacks in his arms.
He had never seen a dead person before.
"Stay outside and don't come in."
As he spoke, Ji Yu opened and closed the door in one go. Zhang Meng, who had not yet reacted, stood outside in a daze.
It seems like, nothing has to do with him?
The room was tidy except for the bed and the wall next to the bed, which were covered with bloody palm prints.
The corpse on the bed was kneeling on his knees, his hands chained behind his back, facing the window, as if confessing.
Ji Yu half-knelt down beside the bed, carefully looking at the extremely terrified expression on the corpse's face.
