Late at night on July 13, 2019.
I escaped from the orphanage and walked alone on the street. The street was deserted. A silver-gray Mitsubishi was parked in front of the closed KFC. Two men got out of the car and grabbed me. One of them said, "Let's take him. Sacrifice him to the Hungry Ghost Lord, and we'll definitely make a fortune at the casino!" The other chimed in, "The Hungry Ghost Lord only likes to eat meat. Don't waste the offal. Eyeballs for 50,000, heart for 200,000... I have connections, I can sell them!"
I remember it clearly: the car was dark, just like everything else. My life was the same—utterly dark, without a glimmer of light, not even for a moment. In the orphanage, I only liked reading and learned some principles, but they couldn't save my life. Other boys could cuddle with pretty girls in the sunlight, while I could only watch them from a dark corner with envious eyes. So, whether I was gutted or eaten, it didn't matter; I didn't care.
I was tied up and stuffed into a sack. The coldness of the vehicle seeped into my body, like a bitter spring welling up in my heart. At the most bitter moment, the vehicle stopped. I heard the sound of two men dying. Someone casually threw me to the ground.
When the sack was opened, I saw a woman in a leather jacket, powerful and beautiful. Looking at her, I felt she was like a powerful black scorpion. She scrutinized me as if I were nothing special, and finally praised me, saying, "Good temperament, very calm." It was just a sentence, not sincere. I wasn't grateful to her, but her next words will stay with me for the rest of my life.
She said, "The energy node is very interesting. Let's send it to Dragon Valley. If Brother Fang Zong is willing to take it in, he'll be amazing for the rest of his life."
Am I... amazing in this life?
My destiny...
I told myself...
Upon seeing this, Fang Zong paused for a moment, then tossed the diary to Zhenzi.
The rest was mostly complaints, and then it got to things about the ghost Sadako, which had nothing to do with him. Sadako blew her ghostly aura as she turned the pages of the diary, her gloomy aura growing colder, but lacking the sinister, bloody smell of her earlier work.
Fang Zong scrutinized Zhenzi with interest: "Interesting. Has she become a ghost? Love... Heh, fifteen days to turn a ruthless ghost into a spirit, she's a good test subject." He then raised his head, "Empress, how about I hand her over to you?"
"You're the principal, so if you say you're giving it to me, then I'll help keep an eye on it." Xiao Hou and Murong Zhen flew over, hand in hand. Murong Zhen looked Zhenzi and Sun Qi over with a professional eye, his smile malicious—he never had any good intentions towards anyone, ghost, demon, or god except Xiao Hou, and all the students in the school were afraid of him.
Seeing Sadako being taken away by Murong Zhen and Xiao Hou, Sun Qi said with a smile, "Thank you, Principal." He felt that Sadako wouldn't die for the time being. "Reporting to the Principal, I know Sadako won't kill me. Killing me would be of no benefit. This must be a ghost trying to deal with you, Principal. They want to drag me to their side and damage the foundation of our school from within... They've got the wrong person. I'm of no use to them."
“A brain is very useful.” After studying with Murong Zhen for a while, Wu Yongci began to think about Sun Qi’s usefulness.
"Am I... useful?" Sun Qi smiled wryly.
He felt like he was a worthless person.
“If you were useless, the ghosts wouldn’t have chosen you.” Bai Baixue said meaningfully, but unfortunately she couldn’t beat around the bush and found it awkward, so she simply told the other party: “This kid’s energy is able to restrain gods. Challenging gods three or four levels higher is like child’s play for him. You can train him.”
"Targeting immortals?" Fang Zong was a little confused.
“Yes, he can restrain the gods. Karma is a cycle, and retribution is inevitable.” Bai Baixue readily betrayed the gods: “In his past lives, and even his lives before that, he must have been tricked by the gods. In this life, his energy is naturally able to restrain the gods… Don’t ask me how the gods tricked him. Maybe in his tenth life, he was Erlang Shen’s biological father. Because he slept with the Jade Emperor’s sister, he was tricked by the gods for ten lifetimes. The gods wronged him, so in the cycle of reincarnation, the Heavenly Dao or the great fortune of a nation will naturally give him some ability to deal with the gods.”
Zhao Xiao suddenly appeared: "Monkey, do you want to fight?!"
"You think you can beat me?"
Bai Baixue and Zhao Xiao were locked in a fierce confrontation, while Fang Zong beckoned to Sun Qi and laughed, "Did you hear that? Your fate has been completely changed. Also, I need to know everything that Sadako knows. To deal with me? Ha..."
