Reincarnation Gate On-Site Feedback: The world'...
General: ...
The general pondered for a moment, then kicked again, but missed this time. Enraged, he drew his weapon and pointed it at Qiu Sheng, saying, "You uncle, I'll make Shuangshuang pay her respects at the ancestral graves next year!"
Qiu Sheng was quick-witted and not afraid of offending the commander-in-chief at all. He nimbly twisted behind Cheng Shuang and hurriedly said with a grin, "Commander-in-chief, don't be angry. I have a way to persuade your sister to go home!"
Everyone tilted their heads to look at him, including Cheng Shuang herself.
The commander was successfully persuaded.
He put down his weapon, his fat face tightened, and his eyes gleamed. "Fine, I'll give you ten seconds."
Qiu Sheng's face immediately fell. Wen Cai quickly grabbed him and asked with concern, "Do you have any ideas?"
He patted Wencai on the shoulder, walked back to Cheng Shuang, bent down and smiled, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The commander-in-chief impatiently began to count down.
"Cheng Shuang!"
"Long Shuang?" Qiu Sheng's smile widened.
The general's melancholy and worry gradually faded, and his mustache curled up.
"What a coincidence, you and the General have the same surname."
Cheng Shuang...
"My name is Cheng Shuang, and my surname is Cheng, not Long."
"I know, I know, Long Shuang, Long Shuang!"
Well, either this isn't the work of the Gate of Reincarnation, or it's because everyone in the movie can't tell the difference between Dragon and Cheng.
"Just call me Shuangshuang!" It'll save her from having to keep calling me Long Shuang, making her unsure whether to respond.
The little girl lowered her head helplessly, which, in the eyes of the others, meant that she was finally willing to compromise.
"Shuangshuang! Look at that uncle over there... big brother, he's almost crying because he misses his sister so much. Look how good he is to you, giving you his majestic general's uniform to wear. If you go home, he'll definitely dote on you. Just comfort him. He's so heartbroken to have lost his loved ones, his eyes are dark with grief, and his nails are white." Qiusheng ignored the general's voice because he knew clearly that the general couldn't bear to kill him, at least not until he failed to persuade Cheng Shuang.
Cheng Shuang didn't want to make things difficult for the protagonist. She now strongly suspected that it was a special benefit given by the lucky single-person round-trip ticket, in order to allow the maintainer to better integrate into the selected world. Otherwise, the word "lucky" would be too perfunctory.
Having been tricked too many times by the Land of Death, not only Cheng Shuang, but everyone else was surprised that the first problem to be solved after entering the movie world was the issue of identity so easily resolved.
"I'm not sure if I'm the Marshal's sister," Cheng Shuang said softly. She really wasn't confident about impersonating him, and besides, she didn't know whether the Marshal actually had a biological sister in this movie whose plot was different from Mr. Vampire.
"General, could you describe your sister's features again?"
"Wait a minute!" Lam Ching-ying suddenly walked over. "What do you mean by saying you're not sure?"
Cheng Shuang felt a bit pressured in front of this expert. Her face flushed slightly, and she spoke even more softly, "I'm just not sure."
Her actions immediately led the others to believe that the young girl was just trying to save face and was throwing a tantrum.
"So, would you like to go home with the Commander?" Qiu Sheng glanced at the girl's strange attire. "Look at what you're dressed like, you don't look like a girl at all, all dark colors. You know Nian Ying, right? She wears pretty dresses every day and eats delicious sashimi."
Cheng Shuang was wearing a black tracksuit and matching sneakers. She had originally planned to buy a suitable dress locally, but she didn't expect to run into the protagonist so soon.
"I don't know Nianying." She sighed. Some things still needed to be made clear. If she accidentally let it slip later, that would be a real problem, especially given the mission involved. If the protagonist became suspicious of her, it would definitely have an impact.
"Okay, okay, you don't know him." Qiu Sheng spoke in a tone completely like he was coaxing a child.
"Little sister, have you been injured and lost your memory?" The general, who had been listening in, asked anxiously. Otherwise, how could his beloved sister have been away from home for so long without returning? She must have lost her memory and forgotten where home was.
The commander shoved Qiu Sheng aside, pressed down on Cheng Shuang's shoulder, and his eyes reddened with concern. "Shuangshuang, where were you injured? Does your head hurt?"
Cheng Shuang opened her mouth, but seeing the anxious expression on the face of the young man in front of her who wasn't particularly handsome and seemed genuine, she couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to say.
"Dou Chi Ying, quickly look at my sister, has she been affected too?" The general turned to look at Lin Zheng Ying, and seeing that he didn't move, he immediately changed his words, "No, it's... it's Master Zheng Ying, quickly look at Shuangshuang..."
Lin Zhengying raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing. As his former rival in love, he didn't want to get involved in the other's family affairs, but for the sake of being called Master Zhengying, he spoke up, "Going to the ancestral hall will prove the truth."
"Yes, yes." The general didn't quite understand what it meant, but he was satisfied as long as his sister could go with him.
“Okay!” Cheng Shuang nodded. She didn’t understand what the point of going to the ancestral hall was. She agreed not only because she wanted to follow the protagonist, but also because the general in front of her reminded her of her family.
If she is indeed a character forcibly added by the Gate of Reincarnation, then her stubborn refusal to acknowledge her relatives will only prevent this general from finding his so-called sister and continue to be heartbroken.
For her, there was no conflict between following the general and following the protagonist.
The group arrived at the ancient building at the foot of the mountain. The simple building with gray bricks and tiles had a sign that read "Long Family Ancestral Hall".
Due to the terrain of the village, the coffins could not be placed on the ground in the Long family ancestral hall. The Long family ancestors specially invited a feng shui master to help. All the coffins inside were supported by round logs painted white and were firmly suspended.
If you land, you'll turn into a zombie.
Upon entering the ancestral hall, the commander first pulled Cheng Shuang to a coffin with one corner collapsed and said to her, "Little sister, this is our father. He has been dead for half a year. Before he died, his biggest concern was you."
Do you want to see him one last time?
This really is my brother...
"Isn't it disrespectful to reopen a sealed coffin?"
Seeing the little girl roll her eyes at him, the general said with a smug look, "Brother was just kidding you. Brother knows you're most afraid of these things!"
"Even if you wanted to open it, you couldn't." Lin Zhengying then approached and pointed to the coffin. "One of the four corners has already turned into a zombie!"
The commander-in-chief naturally didn't believe it. He was just teasing his sister, but if others disrespected the ancestors, it would depend on whether his weapons were willing to release them.
The commander-in-chief immediately ordered the guards to open the coffin to verify the truth of what Lin Zhengying had said.
Lam Ching-ying shook his head and explained, "The coffin was sucked in by the corpse's aura and couldn't be opened in broad daylight."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the soldiers returned in defeat.
The coffin remained closed.
The reason why Commander Long has dark circles under his eyes, long and thick nails, and occasionally hops around is largely due to this.
He was bitten on the neck by a zombie and was infected with zombie poison. To cure it, he should lure the zombie out after dark. The zombie will first harm its relatives. Then, pull out its teeth, grind them into powder, and drink the powder.
Lin Zhengying had this purpose in sending Cheng Shuang to the Long family ancestral hall: if the zombies were chasing Cheng Shuang, then she must be a member of the Long family.
However, the commander-in-chief was unmoved. His eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Guards, take the young lady out of the ancestral hall and wait outside. If I go out first tonight, all will be well. If those three come out first, kill them without mercy."
"yes!"
