Chapter 113 Three Matches Time, an Accident Happened



Chrysler instantly broke into a charming smile and greeted them with his shoulders hunched.

"Hahaha, you've all been gone for so many years, and I can still see you. I really am so happy that I wake up laughing in my dreams. Haha! Teacher, you are no different from back then, just as fierce... ahem, no, you're just handsome, haha!"

Install.

Continue to install.

Shen Jiezhu leaned back in her chair, folded her hands and admired the wonderful show in front of her.

Dad and the teacher came empty-handed, but grandpa was holding a cane.

Seeing him like this, he came over with his crutch and hit him on the butt.

"Ouch!" Clester jumped to the side, his hands behind his back: "Grandpa, I'm already dead and you still want to hit me, look at my legs, they're still bleeding!"

There was a flash of distress in the old man's eyes, but then he became stern again.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're lucky that Miss Shen can help you. Correct your attitude. Have you forgotten the manners I taught you? Apologize to Miss Shen!"

The three of them were all people who had entered the underworld. They could only come out during Ghost Festival and Halloween, and could only stay there at other times. And Clester had been wandering in the human world, so they had never met each other in all these years.

Just now, they suddenly heard a very clear sound, like a bell ringing.

The underworld messenger who was guarding them was sleeping, but was startled when he heard the sound and nervously sent them here.

It was only on the way that they found out that they were summoned by someone, and that person's surname was Shen. She was very powerful, and even the messengers of the underworld were afraid of her.

Anyone who can scare the messenger of the underworld must be a big shot among big shots!

Only a fool would mess with such a big guy.

Clester, under the control of the fluorescent stick and the cane, reluctantly moved in front of Shen Jiezhu: "I'm sorry."

Shen Jiezhu did not answer, but turned to ask the other three: "Excuse me, is there anything you want me to pass on?"

Neither the grandfather nor the teacher said anything. Instead, the father's expression suddenly became sad. He looked up at the old lady who was waiting anxiously, said a few words, and left.

They have entered the underworld and cannot stay here for long.

Shen Jiezhu watched them leave and told the old woman his words.

"Dear Ms. Lina, my greatest wish is that you are happy every day. Zhai Lefu is very good to you. You should open your heart to accept him. I can rest assured when he takes care of you."

When Shen Jiezhu's words entered her ears, the old woman was suddenly stunned. She looked to the side in disbelief for a long time, and even wanted to stand up, wanting to walk to the open space and touch something with her hand.

"Yes, it's my Kerry, right? This must be what Kerry said, Kerry..."

The old man was originally in poor health and needed support even when sitting, but now he has regained his strength and can stand up without anyone supporting him.

The staff became nervous instantly, fearing that she might accidentally fall.

Ates and the niece immediately stood up and walked to the old man.

"Calm down for a moment. Is there anything wrong with this sentence?"

"Who is this Kelly you are talking about?"

"It's my husband! My husband's name is Kerry!" The old woman's face was full of tears and her hands were shaking.

"He must have said those words just now. She is the only one who calls me Ms. Lina. That was my previous name, but I don't call myself that anymore!"

"So it must be Kelly... Kelly must be here, and Clester is here too. Miss Shen, have they met, father and son..."

"Yes."

Shen Jiezhu nodded and looked up at Kleister: "Not only Mr. Kelly, but old Mr. William met his grandson, and Teacher Tary also met his favorite student."

The old woman looked in the direction of her sight and saw the open space.

She walked towards there subconsciously, stretched out her wrinkled hands, and tried hard to grab something.

But I couldn't touch anything.

It's empty here, there's nothing.

Just when she was unable to put her hand down, a hand reached out from the side and caught her.

It’s Shen Jiezhu.

Under the light, it was still that beautiful face, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a faint and gentle smile. It was less inhuman and mysterious, and more human.

She walked out of the metaphysical light, faced her, and used her body temperature to warm the old woman's cold heart.

"They've already left. If the dead stay here for too long, they will hurt the living. He hopes you're well, so he didn't stay for long."

"You should choose Zhai Lefu and find a partner for the rest of your life. Facing an empty room alone, you will fall into memories. Find someone to share your burdens with! Although I don't know the Zhai Lefu mentioned by Mr. Carey, I believe he must be willing."

"Your son thinks the same way. He wants to accompany you because he sees that you are too lonely. But he can't be too close to you, so he has no choice but to meet you in his dreams. You are happy, which is the greatest wish of both father and son."

Shen Jiezhu said many words of comfort, and before they knew it, a necromancy ceremony had turned into a channel for emotional release.

The old woman sat back in her seat and remained silent for a long time.

A belief that had been held in her heart for many years suddenly collapsed. As it collapsed, a new castle was built. Perhaps this time, she would completely walk out of the pain of the past and greet a better future with a brand new self.

This is the result that Shen Jiezhu wants to see most.

Before leaving, the old woman made one last request to her.

She wanted to see her son.

Because she said she felt her son was there and she could feel his presence.

Let the living see the souls of the dead?

Is this something a psychic can do?

Ates was a little nervous. This was the first time this had happened before in many episodes.

While feeling nervous and doubtful, he also felt a little expectant and excited.

After all, the person here now is Shen Jiezhu!

He is a metaphysics fanatic. Although he does not have the talent to learn these things, he has watched various learning videos, including the video of Shen Jiezhu catching the murderer, which he has watched many times.

At that time, didn't the man see someone who had already passed away?

Although it was later explained that he might have been too nervous and had hallucinations.

But Ates knew very well that a person might faint, convulse, or have difficulty breathing when he was nervous. The man did not have any of these symptoms. The only thing he showed was the nervousness and fear of seeing the dead.

It must be Shen Jiezhu who did something.

The bowl on the table, the wine, and Shen Jiezhu's movements as she sat beside the table must have deep meaning.

It must be because of her that the man saw the ghost.

If it worked last time, why not this time?

If Shen Jiezhu really lets the old lady see her deceased son, this will be a huge highlight in their program promotion and an important breakthrough in his research process of educational activities.

The staff also became nervous. They held their breath and waited for Shen Jiezhu's answer.

Shen Jiezhu did not give a direct answer, but lowered her head and fiddled with the copper plate, as if rejecting the request.

Just when everyone was disappointed, she picked up the seven copper plates and handed them to the old woman: "Pick out a few you like! Any number is fine. Look at the words or patterns on them and pick the ones you like."

The old woman lowered her head curiously and selected three from them.

“I choose these three.”

Shen Jiezhu nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, she turned to look at Aites: "Aites, does the program team have matches? I may need them, but I don't know if I can find them. If I can't find them, then I have no chance..."

"Yes!" Attes stood up excitedly and began to search his pockets.

"It is fate, dear. I just happened to have some matches on me. I bought them today. God knows why I bought them. Maybe it was God's arrangement!"

"It seems like we are destined to be together..."

Shen Jiezhu lowered her head and murmured something, then took the match.

"You choose three coppers, and you have three matches to burn to see your son."

When the old woman heard this, she immediately grabbed the other copper coins in her palm and clenched them tightly: "I shouldn't have chosen three, I like all seven! Miss Shen, can I have seven matches?"

"You have already made your choice, and it cannot be changed. Unless you give up the opportunity to see your son this time. In a few years, if we have the opportunity to meet again, maybe you can choose again."

Hearing this, the old woman let go of her hands in a daze and put the other copper plates back in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. Three matches is three matches. I'm already satisfied to be able to see Clay for one second. In a few years, maybe we can be reunited as a family."

The old woman's words made Shen Jiezhu's heart sink. She really didn't have many years left to live.

The less we see each other, the more important it is to live in the present.

Shen Jiezhu nodded, took out a match from the matchbox, put the copper coin on the match, and let the red match head be printed on the copper plate, adding a touch of bright color to its old yellow color.

"When I light the match, you will be able to see your son in the flame, but..."

Sister Shen paused and looked at the staff.

"The talisman can only be seen by one person, but this method can be seen by everyone. If you are afraid, you can close your eyes. I promise that he will not hurt any of you. Once you leave this door, you will be protected by him."

Ates nodded.

"Okay, if you're scared, don't look at it. It only takes a few seconds. It's quick. The camera... don't film it for now."

Everyone on the scene was ready, and Ates used another match to light the match covered by the copper plate.

Squeak——

In the scorched yellow flames, the old woman lowered her head and really saw her son who had passed away many years ago.

Not only the old lady, but everyone present who had the courage to look saw him. He looked the same as in the photo the old lady had sent her, youthful, sunny, handsome and tall. It was hard to imagine how charming a man he would be in middle age.

He waved to them with a smile, then squatted on the ground, so that his eyes were level with the old woman, and looked at her with a smile.

"mother!"

He opened his mouth to say something, but she couldn't hear it. The two of them were very close, yet they seemed very far away. They were not in the same time and space. They couldn't communicate. They could only see each other, but couldn't touch each other.

As one match was about to burn out, another match was immediately lit, and the faint light immediately became brighter, and the son's face became clearer.

The old woman stretched out her hand, wanting to touch his face, but found that as long as her hand blocked the light, she could not see her son.

So she put down her hand in panic. By the third match, the old man was shaking with grief.

The moment Shen Jiezhu lit the match, tears rolled down the old woman's face and her breath blew out the match.

Everyone was stunned.

This... this accident was something no one expected.

………

Shen Jiezhu lowered her eyes and her hand holding the match gradually loosened.

Unfortunately, the accident happened, and the damage caused by this accident is irreversible.

The mother originally had a chance of three matches, but now the third one is out.

"Clay! Clay!!"

The old woman panicked and tried to grab her son, but she only grabbed air.

"No! Miss Shen, I still have a match! It's not completely burned! This match hasn't been completely burned. It's all my fault. Can you help me light it again..."

"sorry."

Shen Jiezhu's gentle voice echoed in the room.

"When the match goes out, your meeting is over, he is gone..."
