Chapter 127 Jinjiang Debut
Ye Xian swallowed in fear. Everyone fell silent and listened to Bai Mian's story. Bai Mian continued:
"Whenever you fall asleep, Old Lady Yang will stagger into your room. She will gently open your bedroom door, hold her breath, stand in front of your bed, and observe your young face. At midnight, she will reveal her true appearance - a skeleton, and then start to wish you a happy birthday."
"If you open your eyes at that time, you will see a skeleton kneeling before you devoutly. Even if you are healthy, you will be frightened to death."
Ye Xian was sweating profusely when he heard this: "Skeleton... Her true form is a skeleton? Could she be a demon?!"
Bai Mian shook his head. "No, she was just an ordinary person like you at first, but she was taught this formation many years ago. Since then, she has been entrenched in the capital, constantly attracting young people to live in her house, relying on birthday celebrations to absorb the youth and yang energy of young people in exchange for her own immortality. If you don't believe it, go and look at her ID card, which shows her real age - she is already 120 years old."
"Oh my God!" Ye Xian covered her mouth in surprise. "One hundred and twenty years old, she is so old? I can't tell at all. She looks like a sixty-year-old woman, and she told me she was also sixty years old. But when I think about it carefully, I seem to have never seen her ID card. Once I helped her organize things, her ID card fell to the ground, and I only saw the back. She immediately picked up the ID card nervously, as if she was afraid that I would see it. It turns out that her ID card hides such a big secret..."
Bai Mian: "Yes, because she practiced evil ways, she also mastered the art of illusion. The old man you saw was an illusion she created. She had to reveal her true form during birthday celebrations. According to her life span, she should have died a long time ago, so her true form is a skeleton. In order to prevent you from seeing her true form, she gave you sleeping pills."
"No wonder, I was wondering why my insomnia suddenly got better," Ye Xian suddenly realized, "So, my body became smaller because of Old Lady Yang's birthday celebration?"
Bai Mian nodded: "She sucked away the life span that originally belonged to you, and your life will flow backwards, gradually returning to your childhood. So, your body is not getting smaller, but developing in reverse."
Ye Xian took a picture of his phone in surprise: "So, my body has returned to adolescence? Oh, by the way, my nasolabial folds do seem to be a little lighter, and my skin is whiter and tenderer! Haha, isn't this rejuvenation?"
Bai Mian: "Don't be too happy yet. This is not a good thing. Under the effect of the birthday worship array, your body will become younger and younger until you become a child. Then, one day after work, you will suddenly stop breathing, and your body will become smaller and smaller, and finally you will become a rag doll, placed in that room, and you will never be able to leave."
Listening to Bai Mian's description, Ye Xian instantly came to her senses. She said, "Tsk tsk tsk, it was a close call. I almost lost my life. Master, if I hadn't come to find you, I would have been dead!"
Bai Mian glanced at the date and said, "Fortunately, the time has not come yet. Although you have been affected to some extent, you will not die."
Ye Xian asked hurriedly: "What time?"
Bai Mian: "If you want to use the birthday worship formation to completely take away a person's life span, it will take 9981 days. If it's not enough time, she can't take your life."
Ye Xian counted the days and said in horror: "But I have lived in this house for three months, which is more than ninety days. It should be enough!"
Bai Mian smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten? Your job requires you to work night shifts. In these three months, you have lived in the hospital half of the time. During these days, you were not in the magic circle, and Old Lady Yang could not greet you on her birthday, so you were lucky enough to escape."
Ye Xian let out a long sigh: "Oh, right, there is also the night shift, how could I forget about it! Oh my god, I didn't expect that it was the night shift that saved me, I will never curse the night shift again!"
Bai Mian patted Ye Xian's shoulder and signaled her to relax: "Don't worry, I promise you that not only will you not die, but you will also get back your own life span. As for that old lady Yang, she will also get the punishment she deserves."
Ye Xian nodded gratefully: "Your words are enough, Master, I believe you!"
Bai Mian reminded him, "Don't agree to this kind of thing so easily in the future. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Behind every pie in the sky is a big pit tailor-made for you."
Ye Xian also felt wronged: "How could I have thought of that? I was the one who saved her first, and she invited me to live with her to repay me. I thought it was reasonable, but who knew there was such a big trap behind it. I was wondering, there are so many young people working in Beijing, why did she choose me?"
Bai Mian: "Because you are special, the birthday celebration array is not useful for everyone. It must find a person who was born on a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour for the array to work. And you were born on a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour. There are not many people like you."
Ye Xian asked in confusion: "How did Old Lady Yang know my birth time? I only told the people around me."
Bai Mian: "She bribed the hospital staff and directly retrieved the birth time of the newborns from the system that year, and inquired about their subsequent development from many sources. Your birth time just met the requirements, and you work in Beijing, which is simply her most ideal target. In order to lure you into the game, she spent a lot of effort."
Ye Xian sighed: "How can there be someone as unlucky as me? My boyfriend just broke up with me, and then I met an old witch who sucked my life. I have encountered all the bad luck in the world!"
Bai Mian paused and said, "In fact, your breakup was not accidental, but caused by human factors."
Ye Xian was stunned: "Master, are you saying that the old witch was the reason why Xiao Feng and I broke up?"
Bai Mian: "Yeah, think about it, if you and your boyfriend have a stable relationship, you will definitely not move in with her, so the first step of the plan is to make you break up."
Ye Xian felt very conflicted: "No, Master, I told you before that Xiao Feng and I broke up because his mother didn't like me and didn't agree with our marriage. I had no choice but to break up with him. What does it have to do with this old witch?"
Bai Mian did not answer directly, but pointed to Ye Xian's phone: "Instead of asking me, why not ask your boyfriend what the real reason is for him to break up with you?"
