There were only the three of them in the dark, damp room.

Xiang Wan was soaked to the bone, and water dripped onto the ground, but compared to the raindrops outside the window, it was hardly noticeable.

"She...she...she's not dead!"

The woman, pinned in the corner, stretched out her arm and pointed at Xiang Wan, her eyes filled with terror.

"You little slut, are you complaining that I'm not being forceful enough? Just you wait, I'll make you feel like you're dying of pleasure soon enough!"

The woman was rendered speechless by the man's actions, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands, gesturing for him to look back.

The man grew impatient, and only after the final blow did he slowly stand up, saying dismissively, "Women are such a hassle. What's the big deal? How could she possibly..."

Halfway through his sentence, the man turned around and saw Xiang Wan. He was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, kicking his legs wildly as he leaned against the woman.

Perhaps not expecting this man to be even more timid than her, the woman became furious and grabbed the man's waist, causing him to cry out in pain, but he dared not run towards Xiang Wan.

As soon as Xiang Wan took a step, the woman cried out, "Ah~~ Don't come any closer, don't come any closer! I didn't kill you, it was him! Go find him, don't look for me! I really didn't kill you, waaaaaah!"

"It wasn't me, it was her. She said that if you lived, we could never be together, so I did it. Xiang Wan, Wan'er, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, please forgive me, I'll be your slave in the next life..."

The man was so frightened he wet himself. The words coming out of his mouth were utterly disgusting to Xiang Wan. So she rushed over and knocked him unconscious with a karate chop.

"Sister Xiangwan, I didn't mean to target you. It was Shugen. He said he liked me and wanted to be with me, but he was already engaged to you. I never imagined he would kill you just to be with me. It's all my fault. Please forgive me. I'll never do it again. Please, please forgive me!"

The woman, with snot and tears streaming down her face, knelt on the ground and begged Xiang Wan to let her go.

Suddenly someone appeared, and it seemed to be a murderer. What should she do?

"Shut up!" Xiang Wan shouted sternly, "Explain your life story clearly, or else..."

"Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

The woman dared not hide anything and explained her past and her relationship with this man in detail.

The woman's name was Wang Cuicui. She was a native of Wangjia Village and a farmer's daughter. She was fair-skinned and pretty from a young age, and everyone who saw her would praise her. As a result, she was very proud and looked down on everyone after she grew up. However, she fell in love with the village chief's nephew, Liu Jun, nicknamed Shugen, who was the only one from the neighboring Liujia Village who had gone to school.

Liu Jun was eloquent and good-looking, much better than the average young man from a farming family. It was just a pity that he already had a fiancée, Bu Xiangwan, a girl from the city.

Bu Xiangwan lived a comfortable life, but was willful and capricious. By chance, she met Liu Jun and, despite her family's objections, insisted on marrying him. Her family initially looked down on Liu Jun, but Bu Xiangwan's threats of suicide forced them to agree to the marriage.

In order to secure a good job in the city, Liu Jun often flattered Bu Xiangwan. Over time, Liu Jun grew impatient and, taking advantage of his trips back to the village, began an affair with Wang Cuicui. Afterwards, Liu Jun became increasingly dissatisfied with Bu Xiangwan. Following a major argument, he and Wang Cuicui devised a wicked plan to kill Bu Xiangwan without anyone knowing, thus getting rid of her and obtaining a substantial insurance payout.

It turned out that after Liu Jun and Bu Xiangwan got together, the Bu family was always wary of him, which made Liu Jun somewhat dissatisfied. In order to show his sincerity, he bought insurance for Bu Xiangwan with all his money, which made the Bu family change their opinion of him.

Xiang Wan arrived right after they had lured Bu Xiang Wan to this dilapidated little building on the mountain and drowned her. So, seeing her standing there alive, they were terrified, thinking it was her vengeful spirit coming to claim their lives.

"I'm asking you, where is this? What time is it? Who is ****?"

With someone around, Xiang Wan couldn't help but wonder if she had finally escaped that recurring mystery.

In the original owner's memory, at this moment, they should have arrived in a desolate mountain, unable to find their way out for several days and nights, and finally being attacked and killed by wild beasts.

The plot has deviated from expectations, forcing Xiang Wan to reassess the situation.

"This is...this is Duan Tou Pass. It's afternoon. ****? No, I've never heard of it."

Wang Cuicui was a little timid. Although she already knew that Xiang Wan was not a ghost, she still dared not speak loudly, for fear of angering her.

"A murder has occurred, who should we contact?"

"Ah, find the village head; he handles all these matters."

Where is your village chief?

“The village chief doesn’t handle anything. If there’s any dispute, people usually go directly to the town. But the town chief doesn’t really handle anything either.”

How many years has the Republic of China been in existence?

"1.15 years ago."

After swiftly knocking Wang Cuicui unconscious, Xiang Wan found a clean place and began to meditate.

As the vital energy within him began to flow along its predetermined path, Xiang Wan felt a little more at ease.

It seems that she has already escaped the scenes that the original owner experienced, but she has not returned to the world where Bu Xiangwan lives. Instead, it seems that she has traveled through time again.

"Xiao Qi, are these people and things real?"

I'm afraid all of this is just an illusion. In that case, not only will the mission be impossible, but she might also be trapped.

"It's real, and it's very similar to the world I took you through."

"So, I traveled through time underwater?"

"It's somewhat similar. I'm not sure how to get back."

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

At least, her feelings were real, and with so many skills at her disposal, she was sure she could find a way back to her original world.

After resting for a while, it gradually got dark. Xiang Wan woke the two men up and, through a combination of coercion and manipulation, finally got them to take her back.

After this incident, Liu Jun naturally dared not mention Xiang Wan at all, and obediently sent her back to the Bu family.

The Bu family was considered wealthy in the city. If it weren't for Bu Xiangwan's own foolishness, she wouldn't have had to suffer in a run-down place like Liujia Village and be murdered by such people.

Xiang Wan used the Mermaid Song to subtly hint to Wang Cuicui and Liu Jun, making them completely forget about her. She had considered killing them to silence them, but these two seemingly insignificant individuals might be the key to her escape; keeping them around would always be useful.

When Bu Xiangwan returned, her parents were overjoyed. They prepared two large tables of food and invited their friends to celebrate.

Xiang Wan learned about these people from Liu Jun and Bu's parents. Adhering to the principle that the more she said, the more mistakes she made, she managed to remain silent. However, someone at the table kept staring at her, and this person's face looked very familiar. Xiang Wan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. When she saw him smile at her, Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat. Her intuition told her that this person harbored ill intentions towards her!
