After a long day at work, Rong Jiaojiao dragged her tired body to the company entrance, ready to cross the road to squeeze onto the subway.
She had just taken a step when suddenly, an out-of-control car sped towards the pedestrians waiting for the green light like a wild horse.
People around her screamed in terror and scattered in all directions, but Rong Jiaojiao was a beat too slow to react.
Despite the driver's best efforts to control the vehicle and the pedestrians' attempts to avoid it, two legs were no match for four wheels. Several people were thrown into the air, and one woman happened to land right in front of Rong Jiaojiao.
The condition of the others is unknown, but the person who fell in front of Rong Jiaojiao had his head on the ground, and thick blood was slowly flowing out from the spot where she was lying.
Rong Jiaojiao had just recovered from the shock when she saw the flowing blood and fainted again.
When she woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar place.
The surroundings were dimly lit, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
Looking around, it was a dark room with some antique utensils and a huge desk piled high with various documents.
Recalling what had happened earlier, Rong Jiaojiao was startled. Where was she? Had she fainted and been secretly kidnapped?
Immediately, all sorts of guesses came to mind: What, was it sold by a heartless hospital to someone else to be used as a mobile blood bank?
The thought that someone wanted his heart or his kidneys popped into my head.
Just as she was lost in thought, a figure dressed in a black robe appeared from the corner.
He was dressed in black linen clothes, wore a tall hat, and his face was deathly pale. This appearance reminded Rong Jiaojiao of the legendary soul-reaping messengers of the underworld, and her heart tightened, causing her to subconsciously take a few steps back.
"Girl, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." The soul-reaping messenger's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was still gentle.
Rong Jiaojiao... do you think I believe you or not?
The soul-collecting messenger continued, "I am a soul-collecting messenger from the underworld, responsible for bringing back souls whose lifespan has ended. However, this time, I've mistakenly brought you here."
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say? You're a soul-reaper, and you've got the wrong person? You're talking about me?"
The barrage of questions made the Soul Reaper a little embarrassed. He nodded, a hint of awkwardness on his face: "Yes, I was supposed to hook the injured person, but I hooked you instead. This is truly my mistake."
"What should I do now?" Rong Jiaojiao asked anxiously, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
The soul-reaper said rather apologetically, "Now that you've come here, you can no longer return to your original world, but I can arrange for you to be reincarnated immediately."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "I don't want to. If I'm reincarnated again, I won't be myself anymore. I'm an orphan. I finally graduated from a 985 university and got a job with an annual salary of over 100,000 yuan. If I'm reincarnated again, I'll have to start all over again. I don't want to."
The soul-reaping messenger threatened her: "If you don't reincarnate, you'll only be a wandering ghost in the underworld. The underworld won't accept someone like you whose lifespan hasn't ended. You'll really suffer then."
Rong Jiaojiao wasn't buying it. If it were that simple, the man in front of her wouldn't be speaking to her so politely.
She said, "If you're going to leave, then leave. I won't leave until you give me a satisfactory explanation."
The Soul Reaper was getting anxious. If she lingered too long, her superiors would sense the presence of a living soul, and she would be in trouble.
He said, "In this way, I will give you the ability to foresee the future, so that you will be able to foresee the dangers of the future."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "The era I live in is a time of peace and prosperity, so this is not of much use."
The Soul Reaper strongly recommended: "How could it not work? Just like this time, you were in danger."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head again: "You might only encounter something like this once or twice in your life. I'm really at a disadvantage."
The Soul Reaper gritted his teeth and took out a newly acquired growth-type small secret realm, saying, "This is a small secret realm I just captured. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only about an acre in size now, but its laws are complete, and it can grow slowly in the future."
He was heartbroken. Don't underestimate this small secret realm; it could bring him a lot of cultivation resources. If he didn't have an even bigger one, he wouldn't have been willing to give it up. Now he had no choice but to get rid of the girl as soon as possible.
Rong Jiaojiao was immediately tempted when she heard about the potential for growth. She herself supported herself through university by writing online novels, so she was naturally familiar with those kinds of novels about space and systems. However, she still bargained, saying, "Then give me the ability to foresee things, and also give me a martial arts manual. Otherwise, I won't reincarnate, and I'll complain about you."
The Soul Reaper was eager to get rid of her. Since he had already given her the small secret realm, he didn't care about giving her a little more, so he agreed.
He pointed his finger at Rong Jiaojiao's forehead, and a magical mark entered her soul, imprinting itself on her sea of consciousness.
Rong Jiaojiao immediately had a martial arts manual in her mind, but it didn't seem to be the kind of martial arts technique she had imagined.
There's also a vague feeling in my mind that I'm not in any immediate danger.
Before they could investigate the details of the technique, the Soul Reaper took out a bowl of soup and said, "This is the Meng Po soup I just ordered. Drink it quickly, and I'll send you to be reincarnated after you finish."
Rong Jiaojiao was afraid that she would forget what happened before after drinking the Meng Po soup, so she said, "Give me the little secret realm first."
The Soul Reaper was speechless. He took out the small secret realm he had already subdued, a green bead the size of a soybean.
The beads were very beautiful, as clear and translucent as jade, but Rong Jiaojiao still had doubts: "Is this a secret realm with such a small amount of power? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The Soul Reaper's patience was about to run out, and he said, suppressing his temper, "I'm not lying to you. You'll know once you're immersed in it."
Rong Jiaojiao followed her instructions and indeed saw a green space about an acre in size, with a small lawn and a small tree about a foot tall in the middle. There were some unidentified plants around it, which looked like medicinal herbs.
Although it looks somewhat rudimentary now, Rong Jiaojiao knows that if this is indeed a complete space with complete laws, it has great potential for future development.
At this moment, Rong Jiaojiao had no idea that in the future she would be searching far and wide for treasures in search of this little secret realm. She was secretly delighted, thinking: "With this secret realm, I'll definitely reach the pinnacle of life in my next life, marry a rich and handsome man, and become a self-made millionaire."
She nodded with feigned satisfaction, took the Meng Po soup, and frowned slightly, saying, "After drinking this Meng Po soup, I won't forget my current memories, will I?"
The soul-reaper explained, "No, this Meng Po soup only makes you forget your past life memories, while everything you are experiencing now is your 'present life' memory in the underworld, and it will not be erased."
Rong Jiaojiao stopped, as if remembering something, and said, "Wait, let's talk about how the small secret realm recognizes its master first?"
