Chapter 126 Backlash
Although I knew that the Jin family was anxious to marry a daughter-in-law for some purpose, I didn't expect that they would use the daughter-in-law as a tool to have children for the sister-in-law.
The girl's aunt was immediately unhappy. She was not really unhappy, but the affairs of the Jin family had been exposed. If she married her niece to them, it would seem that she did not treat her niece as a human being.
She married her niece to the Jin family even though she knew it was a hell of a family. People are bound to poke her in the back in the future.
The aunt made a decision immediately and rejected the marriage. She asked the matchmaker to return the gifts sent by the Jin family, including the red hairband, to the Jin family.
The Jin family looked at the thing that no one had returned, and there was no smile on their faces. Jin Tongxin sat on the kang and seemed to recall some bad memories. He couldn't help shaking.
Jin Tongji reached out to hug her: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Jin Tongxin cried in fear: "Brother, I'm so scared. The backlash is really painful."
Jin Tongji was also helpless. None of them expected to fail this time. It was as if someone was watching their every move, and could make them spin around with just a slight movement.
Jin Tongji thought anxiously, could it be that the smooth sailing of the past decade or so is now beginning to pay off?
But no matter how panicked the Jin family was, time would not stop, and soon it was the next day. This day was originally the day when Shen Shilei got married, and it was also the beginning of her unfortunate fate.
But this time it was different. Without the bride, the Jin family was silent. Jin Tongxin was tied up in the room, with a soft towel stuffed in his mouth.
The kang was covered with several layers of thick and soft quilts, and various medicines were placed on the kang table.
He seemed to be making preparations to prevent Jin Tongxin from committing self-harm or suicide.
There was a small table under the kang, with six small bowls on it, filled with black and smelly blood. This was the blood that Jin Tongxin had drained and stored before, mixed with some other things.
In addition to these six small bowls, there were four plates, filled with four animals that had been tortured to death. These were pregnant females with bulging bellies. Each of them died with their eyes open, emitting an ominous aura.
These are all for soul exchange, the sacrifices to Koi Pearl, Jin Tongxin's blood and the resentful souls of animals, the headband that was supposed to be stained with the scent of the bride, and the unconscious bride Shen Shilei.
But without Shen Shilei, the ceremony lacked the important other half. When the time for soul exchange came, the koi bead on Jin Tongxin's neck emitted a halo, detached from Jin Tongxin's neck, and floated to the table beside the kang.
It took a look at the offerings on the table and suddenly a flash of light appeared. It was very angry. The soul-changing ceremony could not be completed overnight.
Before, Jin Tongxin made this wish to Koizhu, and Koizhu agreed. It also took a lot of energy to accomplish it.
The red headband was stained with Jin Tongxin's blood and had a curse engraved on it by koi beads. When worn on the sacrifice, it could unknowingly loosen her soul, allowing the sacrifice's soul to easily leave her body and obey their call.
The Koi Pearl can easily exchange souls for two people, and Jin Tongxin's blood and the animals' resentful souls are just small desserts for it to replenish its physical strength. The real big thing is the soul of the sacrifice. The Koi Pearl originally planned to cultivate the soul of the sacrifice into a fierce ghost and then absorb it.
But when it came to getting down to business today, it discovered that there was no sacrifice at all, so there was no way to exchange the soul, which meant that the energy it had consumed before could not be recovered.
It is called Koi Bead, and fulfilling people's wishes is an important way for it to gain energy. However, once it accepts a wish but cannot fulfill it for the wisher, both it and the wisher will suffer backlash.
Then all the energy that it has accumulated with great effort over the years will be consumed, and it would be strange if Koi Pearl was not angry.
But even if it was angry, it could not stop the backlash. As time passed, and after the time of soul exchange, the Koi Pearl could not fulfill its wish. The originally shining pearl became dim in an instant, and even for a moment it almost leaked its own breath. After the Koi Pearl hurriedly absorbed all the blood and animal souls on the table, it fell back to Jin Tongxin's neck.
Jin Tongxin, who was lying on the kang, was also twitching in pain. Her entire body and internal organs were in pain. It was a pain that penetrated deep into her bones and soul. Even with a towel stuffed in her mouth, she continued to whimper.
Although he was tied up, his whole body was twisted like a maggot. His face, which had been thin and pale for years, turned green and looked creepy. His eyeballs were wide open, as if they would pop out of their sockets at the next moment.
The backlash process was very painful and torturous. In order to prevent Jin Tongxin from not being able to bear it and doing anything extreme, the Jin family could only hold her down on the kang to prevent her from twisting and moving.
Jin Tongxin fainted after struggling for a few moments, but would soon wake up from the pain, and then the cycle would repeat over and over again.
Just when Jin Tongxin was suffering from torment, Jiang Panyuyu received the mission reward: [Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully destroying the conspiracy of the male and female protagonists and making them suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Mission Reward: One supply voucher book, one set of Dream Bedding, and one replacement box, which have been stored in the host's personal space.]
Jin Tongxin endured it for more than an hour before the excruciating pain stopped. She then passed out, her whole body soaked with sweat.
Jin Tongji pulled the towel out of his mouth, which was stained with blood because Jin Tongxin bit it too hard, causing his gums to bleed.
Jin Tongji and Jin's mother carefully washed Jin Tongxin's body and fed her medicine. After taking the medicine, Jin Tongxin's brows, which had been furrowed throughout his coma, slowly relaxed.
Jiang Panyu gained a general understanding of the backlash through the melon-eating system.
It turned out that this was the fastest way to consume the energy of the Koi Bead. She had been causing trouble for the Jin family before. In order to quell a series of troubles, Jin Tongxin used the Koi Bead, and her body did become weak.
But the Koi Bead didn't seem to be damaged much, but this time it consumed all the energy accumulated over the years.
It seems that she has to change her strategy. Although the Koi Bead is bound to Jin Tongxin, if something happens to Jin Tongxin, the Koi Bead may not be in trouble.
Moreover, after what happened to Jin Tongxin, her health is probably even worse, and the Jin family will be more eager to give her a new body.
Jiang Panyu must keep the Jin family's attention firmly on him and prevent them from succeeding in the soul swap. He only needs to drag Jin Tongxin to death.
Without the human aura of Jin Tongxin to cover it up, the power of the Koi Bead had been almost exhausted, so it was possible that it would expose its own existence. If the rules of heaven noticed it, they would definitely not let it go.
