Chapter 99 "Witch's Kaleidoscope" 22 Longevity Lock

In any case, this layer of skin has not been completely pierced. Even if only a layer of plastic film is left, it is plastic that needs to be maintained temporarily.

"Today is Shen Qingming's birthday. I will go with Hong Boyi." Zhuci said.

A sharp beam of light shot towards him, carrying a strong malice.

This kind of malice continued until the person died.

"When did you..."

"You can guess, I won't tell you. In comparison, he is much more generous than you." Zhu Ci glanced at him. His attitude has always been like this, no matter who comes, but to Ding Yuanming, it is a complete provocation.

Why was he the one who had been so unlucky since he was born? Ding Yuanming was naturally unwilling to accept this.

Forget about others. What is the basis for a good family background? What basis has he used to pull you down? How can you turn things around?

"Bang."

The door was closed, leaving only a hunched figure with a face twisted like that of a devil.

…

I still have to go on my birthday.

The call before the speech was indeed from Hong Boyi.

The first people Ding Yuanming wanted to attack was Zhu Ci's younger brothers, followed by Hong Boyi, and then Zhu Ci's parents. However, last night, the order was messed up.

They had an argument in the cafeteria before, and if they couldn't cover up the traces the first time, they could just put the blame on Zhu Ci.

Zhu Ci didn't know where Ding Yuanming got the evil thing from, but he knew that he had been put under a spell.

…

"Is it true that you can make that disgusting thing Ding Yuanming completely disappear from my world?" Hong Boyi asked him.

"Yes, you also said that he has been spreading rumors about me, didn't you?" Zhu Ci said expressionlessly.

Students have plenty of time during holidays, so even if he fails, Hong Boyi still wants to give it a try.

Besides, on Qingming Festival, he was supposed to burn incense for his mother.

Zhu Ci got out of the car and walked in the opposite direction from him.

Hong Boyi didn't know that what Ding Yuanming wanted was his life.

…

Shen Qingming really lives next to the cemetery.

It is said that people who work in this field have a hard life and it is difficult for them to have children. The person who adopted him is now in his sixties or seventies. He is rich but his family is very simple.

"Qingming, your classmates are here."

Shen Qingming brought out the dishes from the kitchen.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhuci: "You came quite early."

Congratulations and give him the gift.

"Hey? You're still buying things."

As Shen Qingming was opening the box, the grandfather next to him patted him on the shoulder: "Are you going to open it now? Ask someone to come in first."

[“I actually found it quite heartwarming. Damn it.”

"It's okay. This game is full of dead people. Happiness is meant to be destroyed."】

Shen Qingming smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, you come in first."

Zhu Ci walked in, took a look at the unopened box in his hand, and said, "Longevity Lock."

Shen Qingming was stunned for a moment.

【“Did you buy the longevity lock because of the joke you made earlier?”

"Details. These are the details that impress NPCs."

"…Useless details, what can you do? Have sex with NPCs?"】

Zhu Ci bought it casually, without much fuss. He did not treat the money in the copy as money, he just spent whatever he had. Although the original owner's family was average, his parents would give him the living expenses directly if they did not return home.

It was Shen Qingming's birthday, but he cooked a table full of dishes.

"Excuse me, I'm used to being frugal. We don't have a chef at home, but this kid cooks delicious food." The old man said, probably treating the congratulatory speech as that of Shen Qingming's wealthy classmates.

Congratulations: "...Yes."

He had no experience in communicating with elders and didn't know what to say except to respond.

"I heard that you like to raise snakes?" The old man looked at the silent child, seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and said again.

Congratulations: "Just so-so."

The air fell silent again. Fortunately, this NPC didn't have a bad temper and just laughed cheerfully a few times.

After a while Shen Qingming came out.

He carried a plate of rice dumplings and put it on the table.

"Tsk, tsk." He laughed happily.

"Thank you. I should have bought you a cake earlier." Zhuci said.

Shen Qingming stood still: "Ah? Cake? Is my cooking bad?"

“Not bad.”

"So do you prefer cake?" He frowned and took a piece of food with his chopsticks and tasted it.

Congratulations: "...I'm sorry."

Sometimes he suspected that he was too meticulous, but then he thought again that he was too rough.

"Eat whatever you want, little classmate. Anyway, you're the only one here to celebrate his birthday. There are no rules here." The old man laughed.

Zhuci nodded, and then the bowl was full.

A very familiar scene.

Congratulations: "..."

"Hey, remember to compliment me after you finish eating." The fool blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

I can’t eat any more. Zhu Ci looked at the old man who was happily eating next to him and gave him a little: “Eat more.”

…

After the meal, Zhu Ci should have helped wash the dishes, but Ding Yuanming was still like a time bomb, and he couldn't wait to deal with him.

"Sorry, excuse me for a moment." Zhu Ci glanced at his phone.

Hong Boyi said he seemed to see Ding Yuanming.

It is estimated that he planned ahead of time because he was afraid that they would join forces, but only Zhu Ci knew what his plan was.

"Wait a minute." Shen Qingming put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and asked, "Will you come back?"

"...Not necessarily." Zhu Ci said.

It's a bit disappointing to say this at someone else's birthday party, but there's nothing you can do about it, it's just a game after all.

"Let me take you there." Shen Qingming said.

Zhuci hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Because it was the day of tomb sweeping, there were a lot of people around and it was very noisy. But once you enter the cemetery, it becomes much quieter.

Shen Qingming looked at the scenery nearby and didn't say anything at first. When Zhu Ci looked over, he slowly said, "I was thrown into a pile of dead bodies. There were no cemeteries like this at that time. This was a real mass grave. I remember that I actually saw a ghost, but later I didn't know whether it was fantasy or reality."

"You are still lucky."

"It's okay, but when I saw you, I seemed to fall into a strange fantasy again." Shen Qingming's tone was very light.

"fantasy?"

"Yes, I dreamed that you killed many of me, over and over again." Shen Qingming said this, and when he saw Zhu Ci suddenly stop seriously, he bent his eyebrows helplessly, and explained in advance as if he was afraid that he would misunderstand, "I don't see a psychiatrist, and you didn't really do it, so how could I not distinguish reality from reality?"

Zhu Ci asked, "Then you won't feel uncomfortable seeing me?"

"Well...but you die every time. When you die, everything is over, but I seem to be even sadder." Shen Qingming said.

\

Really? He died too?

Zhu Ci seemed to realize something, and then he looked at Shen Qingming and said meaningfully: "Don't think too much, I'm leaving first, but look at your phone more."

Shen Qingming hummed softly, watched Zhu Ci turn around and leave, and then took out a longevity lock from his pocket.

Even though I spent the most money, this lock is just the most common and cheapest model. However, this is the first time I received a gift from Zhuci, and it still has such meaning.

…

"Who is it? Let us out!"

When Zhu Ci woke up, they were already in a dark warehouse.

A teenager next to him kept knocking on the door for help.

Zhu Ci raised his eyes and took a look. As expected, it was Hong Boyi.

He noticed the movement over here and looked over.

"Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Zhu Ci nodded.

"I thought you were so powerful, how come you were caught?"

Zhu Ci reached out and touched his forehead. It was just a minor wound, nothing special except the pain. He expected to be caught.

"It's obvious that it was Ding Yuanming who did it." Zhu Ci stood up, clapped his hands, and re-bandaged his hands.

As expected, Ding Yuanming had always hoped that Hong Boyi would die, so that he would be recognized as the original owner. As for the original owner, it was just a knife he used to kill people.

"You knew that you were putting me in danger?" Hong Boyi glared at him.

Cheers: "...What are you worried about? Didn't you call for help?"

Hong Boyi choked and said, "Our cellphone is missing. Can those bastards really find us? And what on earth did Ding Yuanming want to do by locking us up? That lunatic is capable of anything."

Hong Boyi had known this for a long time, ever since Ding Yuanming killed his mother in front of him.

Zhuci asked: "Do you smell a strange smell?"

"What does it smell like?"

Zhu Ci chuckled and said, "There is a knife on the ground."

Suddenly a voice came from the warehouse, as if it was coming through the radio.

"From now on, poison gas will be released here. You can only leave here if one of you dies."

Hong Boyi widened his eyes, looked at the speech, then looked at the knife, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's just a little trick. How could a student like him get something like that? You won't believe it, right?" Zhu Ci said, leaning against the wall.

Upon hearing this, Hong Boyi suddenly looked away and nodded: "Yes, yes."

The voice spoke again: "Who said I can't do it?! Then you can all die together!"

"It's normal to be angry because of embarrassment, but I actually have a locator on me, and your people will find you." Zhu Ci said to Hong Boyi calmly.

There was a "swish" sound, and the sound from the other end stopped.

Hong Boyi was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Zhu Ci clenched his fingers until they turned white and gave a weird smile.

"Yes."

"What if Ding Yuanming escapes? This guy is like a rabbit. I can't swallow this!" Upon hearing that they would be safe, Hong Boyi breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and kicked the door hard.

He continued to grumble: "Damn it, that kid, I'm going to kill him this time no matter what, he even gave me laxatives last time! Such a disgusting thing, how about cutting off a few fingers first? No no, I'd better poison him to make him mute first."

As he spoke, he became more and more angry. He punched the iron gate and uttered all kinds of dirty words.

Zhu Ci lowered his eyes and tightened his jaw. After a while, he said in a suppressed voice: "How about you pick up this knife first?"

His voice was light, but strange enough to make people scared.

Hong Boyi turned around and shuddered.

Zhu Ci's eyes were flashing red. He stood motionless in the corner, his body tense, staring at Hong Boyi as if he was staring at his prey.

"you……"

Zhu Ci lowered his head, raised his foot, and kicked the knife over.

"If I want to kill you, I won't even use a knife. You should use it for self-defense."

Hong Boyi didn't understand. Ding Yuanming only wanted to kill him from the beginning to the end. The smell in this warehouse was not poisonous gas, but an evil magic that could stimulate the desire to kill.

Although I don’t know where he got it, I have to say that Ding Yuanming bought the real stuff.

Zhu Ci wasn't sure if he could hold on. It wasn't because he was too kind, but he simply didn't want to comply with other people's wishes.
