Chapter 1 Silver Sky

There was a violent storm with lightning and thunder.

In Longkou Village, a coastal village in Baogang City, in a six-story building, in a window on the fifth floor, a teenage girl was holding a stick removed from a wooden bed and struggling to pry the wooden bars nailed to the window.

This is her only way out. If she can't escape from here, she will be caught and forced to entertain clients tomorrow.

With the sound of thunder and lightning, a hole was finally pried open in the dilapidated part of the fence.

The girl threw away the stick and tried to pry it apart with her hands. Even though her fingers were cut and bleeding, she did not give up.

Finally, she made a hole for her to squeeze out and crawled out.

Thunder roared and the rain fell heavier and heavier.

Bursts of lightning illuminate the dark night sky.

The girl grabbed the window, lowered her head, and used the electric light to look for a place to land with her feet dangling in the air.

She stepped on the protrusion of the water pipe with one foot and stepped down with the other foot. Just as she was about to step on a protruding brick, her foot slipped on the water pipe. The girl couldn't hold on any longer and lost control, falling from the fifth floor.

Just at this moment, a loud thunder covered the sound of the girl falling on the cement.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, falling on the concrete ground and flowing into small streams.

The stream washed the blood on the ground and carried it away into the distance.

The girl, covered in blood, lay face up on the concrete floor, her eyes staring unwillingly, unfocused, perhaps at the night sky filled with lightning and thunder, or perhaps at the direction of her hometown.

The lightning tore at the dark night sky like a spider web, and the sound of the thunder seemed like a crack in the sky opening.

The girl who had lost her breath suddenly blinked her eyes, and a strange green light flashed under the lightning.

The originally cold body gradually warmed up, and the blood that had flowed all over the ground strangely returned to the girl's body.

Even the blood that was washed away by the rain flowed back onto the girl's body.

The broken bones and ruptured organs were miraculously reconnected, and there was no trace of injury on his body.

The girl blinked again, and her spirit gradually recovered. She looked at the strange house and the strange local architecture in the distance in the lightning, with a lot of confusion.

She turned over, got on all fours, bent her elbows, stretched out a long stretch, and shook herself as if to shake off the water droplets on her body.

She crawled forward lightly and gracefully, nonchalantly, yet with an enchanting charm.

As if she had thought of something, she slowly stood up and took a few clumsy steps on her legs.

When her legs finally moved smoothly, the girl heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'm finally out. I was suffocating like crazy."

She was originally a fox spirit who had cultivated into a human form. After she developed a desire to become a mortal, she went to the human world to enjoy a carefree life. However, she could not enjoy her happiness for more than a few days before she was captured by a powerful Taoist priest, who turned her back to her original form and sealed her under a huge mountain.

I don’t know how many years have passed since this seal appeared.

Finally today, the seal cracked, and her soul, by chance, entered the body of the girl who had just died.

The girl's memory had not yet completely disappeared. After Yin Xiao read it, he knew the girl's origin.

She was an orphan from a remote mountain village in the inland area, with no relatives to rely on. A month ago, a distant cousin from the village who had smuggled herself to Hong Kong returned dressed in gold and silver, saying she wanted to take people to the city to work and earn 2,000 yuan a month.

The annual income of a family in the village was less than 500 yuan, but working in the port city could earn 2,000 yuan a month. The villagers were crazy and begged this distant cousin to take them to the port city.

But my distant cousin said that the place where she worked was a restaurant and they were only hiring waitresses, and they had to be young and good-looking.

After this selection, five girls were chosen, and the girl was one of them.

The girl, with her dream in her heart, went through hardships and finally smuggled herself to Hong Kong. But what awaited her was not a waitress job with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, but a call girl job.

To quote the people in Hong Kong, being a prostitute.

The girl was unwilling and was beaten. She went hungry for two days and finally found an opportunity to escape tonight, but she didn't expect to die.

After reading the girl's memory, Yin Xiao walked towards the telephone booth in the village with a swaying waist.

The girl never gave up on escaping and kept searching for information nearby. She knew that there was a telephone booth at a crossroads not far from here, and that calls to the police from the booth were free.

After his boss got promoted, Inspector Steven particularly wanted to be promoted to the position of Senior Inspector. He has been particularly proactive recently and often works overtime until late at night.

As soon as he heard the alarm, he immediately led his team to Longkou Village.

After arriving at the location mentioned by the caller, Steven got out of the police car wearing a raincoat, looked around, and finally found the girl leaning in the phone booth.

Just as Steven was about to say hello, the girl came out of the phone booth.

In the dark night, heavy rain was pouring down, and the girl walked slowly and gracefully.

Lightning flashed from behind the girl, making her face look even paler and lifeless.

A pair of eyes, deeper than the night, revealing a strange blue hue upon closer inspection.

Steven was so scared that his heart skipped a beat. Dark night, girl, blue light, could he be seeing a ghost?

Looking closely, I saw that the girl's eye color was normal again.

Just as he was hesitating, the girl asked in her broken Hong Kong dialect, "Is this Sir?"

"Did you call the police?" Steven knew from the phone that the girl was deceived into coming to Hong Kong City, and asked in his broken Mandarin.

"It's me." Yin Xiao pointed out the house where she was imprisoned.

The police surrounded the house, forced their way in, and rescued the girls who were being held captive.

When they were about to arrange Yin Xiao with the rescued girls, Yin Xiao found Steven who was cleaning up the mess.

"Sir, did I do any good by calling the police?"

"Yes, the police station will reward you with 10,000 yuan. With this money, you can live a good life when you return to the mainland." Steven thought for a moment and said in his broken Mandarin, "In the mainland, if you have 10,000 yuan, you are considered a 10,000 yuan household. If you go back, you can become one too."

Yin Xiao didn't want to be sent back. She came to the human world to enjoy life, not to farm.

In the girl’s memory, the port city was more prosperous and more fun.

"I've done a great job calling the police, can't you give me a Hong Kong City ID card?"

"Of course not." Steven refused.

"Isn't that a big enough contribution?" Yin Xiao walked lightly to Steven. "If I report them for smuggling and then find the stuff they smuggled for you, wouldn't that be a big enough contribution?"

Steven's heart skipped a beat, as if he saw the dawn of a promotion. "Did you know they were smuggling?"

"If they can smuggle people, it wouldn't be surprising if they could smuggle other things too, right?"

"Where's the stuff?"

Yin Xiao smiled softly and stretched lazily, "Do you have an ID card?"

"Yes," Steven said without hesitation, "As long as the value of the goods they smuggled is high enough and your contribution is significant enough, I can guarantee you and make you a glorious citizen of Hong Kong."
