The coffin lid wasn't completely closed, and a person could be vaguely seen lying inside.
She turned her head and saw several familiar faces standing beside her; they were the thugs who had been chasing her.
The four people were pale, stiff, and blood was seeping from their faces. They looked like they were not alive at all.
A person who was alive and well just half an hour ago has now turned into a ghost!
This scene was extremely bizarre, and Ruan Mulan's scalp tingled with fear. She clutched her wallet tightly and suddenly bumped into the silver lock on her chest.
The silver lock made a slight sound, and the group came to a sudden stop.
All the ghosts stiffly turned their heads and stared at Ruan Mulan with eerie silence.
Ruan Mulan thought to herself, "No way, did they discover that a living person had infiltrated the team and plan to kill her?"
With a loud bang, the coffin beside them rattled, and then a hand reached out and grabbed the coffin lid.
This is... the big boss? Ruan Mulan stared at the coffin warily, her heart almost leaping into her throat for a moment.
Then she saw a young man in his late twenties crawl out. His lips were taut, and he said through gritted teeth, "You dare to treat me like this? Just wait until I beat you to a pulp!"
Ruan Mulan immediately realized that this was a living person!
However, after the young man finished making his threats, the old man in the lead grabbed him by the neck.
A sinister smile played on the old man's pale face. "You should be lying comfortably in your coffin."
He slowly pushed the young man into the coffin and even planned to seal the coffin lid.
Ruan Mulan clenched the silver lock on her chest, her palms sweating with nervousness.
This silver lock has been with her since she was born.
When she was little, she had a mild temper and was always prone to encountering unclean things. Every time, it was this silver lock that helped her drive those things away.
The ghost seemed very afraid of this silver lock.
Ruan Mulan took a deep breath, suddenly rushed forward, forcefully pushed open the coffin lid, grabbed the young man, and gave him leverage, "Get out quickly!"
All the ghosts looked at her. The old man, who had returned to the front of the group, turned around when he heard the commotion and hurriedly floated over.
Seeing the old man rushing over, Ruan Mulan didn't hesitate to take off the silver lock and throw it at him.
"Ah!" The old man screamed and covered his face as he was hit by the silver lock.
Ruan Mulan was overjoyed; it really worked!
Taking advantage of the fact that the ghosts were stunned, she grabbed the young man's hand and ran away without looking back!
She didn't know how long she had been running when she tripped and stopped, panting and holding her knee.
This is a residential area. Light is coming from the houses, and some people came out to take a look after hearing footsteps.
Great! We're finally back in the human world!
"Are you alright?" Ruan Mulan asked, turning around to look at the young man in front of her.
The young man gave a vague reply that it was alright.
Ruan Mulan thought he was probably terrified. After all, anyone would be scared out of their wits if they were carried by a ghost to lie in a coffin.
"Were you there the whole time?" the young man suddenly asked.
"Yes." Ruan Mulan looked down at the bag in her arms; it was money she had earned after a hard day's work.
With no sound behind her, in a flash, some overlooked detail suddenly became clear in her mind, and Ruan Mulan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She was too nervous beforehand, and although the young man's voice sounded somewhat familiar, she didn't think about it in detail.
Now she finally understood why it sounded familiar! It was that voice that said, "You're asking for it!"
Those four thugs are dead... So what exactly happened in the place just a wall away?
The streetlight cast her shadow, and behind that shadow, a hand silently rose...
"Mom! Wake up!" A gentle voice called out in my ear.
Ruan Mulan suddenly opened her eyes, her whole body covered in cold sweat, her heart pounding wildly out of control.
She grabbed Mingzhuo's hand, "Zhuozhuo, he killed people! He killed those four thugs!!"
The few splattering sounds she heard were clearly the sounds of a sharp blade piercing flesh and breaking blood vessels.
She was just a wall away from the crime scene when she overheard a horrific murder.
Ruan Mulan's hands and feet were ice cold. She clearly remembered the feeling of wanting to escape at the last moment, but her body was stiff and she could not escape. She could only watch helplessly as the hand behind her fell towards her.
"Okay, okay, it's alright now, Mom, you're safe," Mingzhuo kept reassuring her.
"Why didn't he kill me to silence me?" Ruan Mulan found it difficult to extricate herself from the suffocating emotions she was experiencing.
She forgot the memory, but she didn't forget how she felt. Later, she would dream from time to time that someone wanted to kill her, but she was like a lamb to the slaughter, unable to move.
This was a nightmare that haunted her for half her life.
Mingzhuo: "He wouldn't dare. Mom, you did the right thing. You deliberately stood under the streetlights in the residential area. Even though it was late at night, many people saw you. If he killed you, he wouldn't be able to escape either, and it would expose that he killed four thugs. In his haste, he could only erase your memory."
Ruan Mulan's emotions gradually stabilized.
Now that he had clearly seen the person's face, Mingzhuo walked to the side, picked up a pen, and quickly began to draw.
He Wangyao walked over and glanced at it, somewhat shocked, "You can draw?"
Mingzhuo didn't take it seriously. "What's so special about being able to draw? It's just like drawing talismans, isn't it?"
He Wangyao: "..."
No, no, no, that's what you think is the same, but they're actually completely different! These are two different things!
Gu Xu asked He Wangyao, "Do you think drawing is more difficult than drawing talismans?"
