Chapter 196 I Will Never Admit My Mistake
After beating up the old, weak, sick, disabled, and young, Lin Xi had actually begun to realize who would be next? His parents, or Chen Sangning?
Honestly, if her parents had actually appeared, she would have hugged her mother and cried for a while, then beat them both up for leaving her alone. Although her parents had left a huge amount of compensation, that wasn't a good thing for a minor.
Surrounded by relatives with ulterior motives, they wanted to adopt Lin Xi, who was about to become an adult, just for the sake of money.
In that environment, Lin Xi was indeed led astray for a while. She skipped classes, fought, and went to Internet cafes, as if that was her home.
If she hadn't met Chen Sangning, this treasure given to her by God, she would probably have rotted in the soil and become smelly.
So if she met her parents, she would probably choose to beat them up.
Unfortunately, the ghost did not bring her parents out.
After Lin Lin and Zhu Zhu disappeared, the dark space was silent for a long time, so long that Lin Xi almost yawned, when suddenly the whole place became bright. But the scene in front of him made Lin Xi's heart suddenly tighten.
There was no ankle-deep water under his feet, but dry ground. It was about six or seven in the afternoon, and the sun had already set. The street lights were turned on, and white light fell on people. There was a lot of noise around him, so Lin Xi couldn't tell where he was for a moment.
She looked around. This place was familiar to her. It was near the traffic light downstairs of Shen Sangning's company.
At this moment, Lin Xi had some realization. She turned her head and looked towards the traffic light, only to see a circle of people gathered there. Lin Xi's heart was beating very fast, but her feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She told herself in her heart: It's okay, this is just an illusion created by the ghost.
But she was still drooling because of nervousness, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead. Her whole body seemed to be constantly controlling itself. After a long time, Lin Xi finally took a step and slowly walked towards the traffic light.
Lin Xi didn't walk fast at first, it could even be said that she walked very slowly, much slower than the people around her who wanted to watch the excitement, and she was left behind by everyone. Not long after, she suddenly sped up. Lin Xi went from walking to jogging, and finally to stumbling forward.
The person who had left her behind before was caught up by her and then left behind by her again.
It was a short walk, barely a drizzle for Lin Xi's strength, but as she pushed through the crowd at the traffic light and stood at the front, she was panting, her breathing barely catching up. She was already at the front of the crowd, but she didn't dare take another step forward.
Lin Xi saw the car accident scene in front of him.
A car that ran a red light crashed into a roadside tree. Its hood was deformed and even emitted thick smoke, and it was about to explode at any moment. The traffic police on duty were trying to disperse the crowd, asking them not to get too close.
The traffic jam caused by the car accident honked its horns in dissatisfaction, wanting to rush back and reunite with their families.
⑧
Lin Xi's only family member lay in a pool of blood not far away, her hands drooping helplessly on the ground, blood staining her white dress red. The ambulance siren was blaring in the distance, and Lin Xi didn't even know how long it would take for it to arrive.
Lin Xi had actually prepared herself mentally, but the scene before her still drained all her strength away.
The person behind me was still mumbling and chatting with friends around him:
"Wow, that's a bad crash. Is he dead?"
"I'm sure he won't survive. It's really unfortunate."
"But isn't it said that if you walk on a zebra crossing, you can get more compensation? I saw a video before that said that if you die while walking on a zebra crossing, you can get an extra 300,000 yuan in compensation."
The noisy sounds seemed to enter her ears, yet they also seemed to have disappeared. Lin Xi should have been angry, but the moment she saw the scene before her, she didn't even have the energy to be angry. She had imagined the scene of Shen Sangning's death countless times. When Shen Sangning's accident first happened, she had this nightmare every night.
But never once has it been so real.
Perhaps she should thank this ghost because it allowed her to see the truth of Shen Sangning's death.
Lin Xi couldn't say a word or make a single move. She could only stare at Shen Sangning in a pool of blood.
However, at this moment, Shen Sangning moved, her fingertips twitching slightly, and then she stood up suddenly. It was very abrupt, like a frame-by-frame animation, lying in a pool of blood in the previous frame, and standing up in the next frame.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, she saw Chen Sangning smiling at her.
The next moment, Shen Sangning turned into the familiar appearance of Lin Xi. She turned into a ghost.
Shen Sangning slowly drifted towards her. All the sounds behind her faded, leaving only Shen Sangning's figure approaching. She reached out her hand, and soon her cold fingers touched Lin Xi's face.
Her fingertips were icy cold, like ice cream in the dead of winter: a little chill at first, then a chill that chills the heart. It was the exact same temperature as Shen Sangning's fingertips. Lin Xi was ripe, too ripe.
But at the moment when Shen Sangning's fingertips touched her cheek, Lin Xi suddenly felt that her heart, which had just tightened, didn't hurt so much anymore.
Although Lin Xi is weak, careless, not very smart, and more importantly, a bit slutty, this combination of personalities makes him not an attractive guy no matter where he goes.
She doesn't have the qualities to be loved. If a novel had her as the protagonist, she would probably be criticized to pieces.
But she has one advantage, that is she will never mistake Shen Sang Ning.
Even if it was Shen Sang Ning who had lost her memory and was confused, as long as she stood in front of him, Lin Xi would recognize her at a glance.
If that wasn't Shen Sangning, even if she looked exactly like Shen Sangning, or even if she was a one-to-one replica of what she remembered, Lin Xi wouldn't mistakenly think she was Shen Sangning.
Only when it came to dealing with Shen Sangning was Lin Xi extremely serious.
She raised her head and looked at the "Chen Sang Ning" in front of her. In the other's surprised eyes, she stretched out her hand and grabbed its collar.
"I'm really furious right now. You're a 100% copy of Ning Ning, right? Just like Lin Lin, you completely follow Ning Ning's rules, right?!" If Lin Xi really fought Shen Sang Ning, then Lin Xi's chance of winning would definitely be 0%. But if the opponent was really Shen Sang Ning, then Lin Xi's chance of winning would be 100%.
Because, Shen Sangning absolutely had no way of doing anything to Lin Xi, and vice versa, the same was true for Lin Xi.
Now a rather fatal situation has arisen. To the "Chen Sang Ning" on the opposite side, Lin Xi is the real Lin Xi; but to Lin Xi, the opposite side is not the real Chen Sang Ning.
This deadly state is for ghosts and has nothing to do with Lin Xi. After thinking about it, Lin Xi decided not to slap her face. After all, it was Ning Ning's face. Even if it was fake, Lin Xi would feel sad if it was disfigured.
Even if she didn't slap him in the face, there were still many things she could do, especially since she had already grabbed Chen Sang Ning's collar. Wouldn't she just throw her over her shoulder? So Lin Xi grabbed Chen Sang Ning's collar and threw her to the ground.
"Why do you have to pretend to be Ningning when you can just come up with something else? Do you think you can pretend to be Ningning?!"
The fake Shen Sang Ning tried to put up a fight, but was thrown to the ground without a fight. Sadness filled its eyes as it uttered, "Lin Xi, it hurts..." Its voice was identical to Shen Sang Ning's. That soft voice almost moved anyone to tears, but Lin Xi was different. Far from feeling distressed, her anger surged directly to her head.
"It hurts, it hurts, why don't you relieve it? You don't think I will pity you, do you? How dare you talk to me with a Ningning face and a Ningning voice? Die!"
Seeing her look like a Tyrannosaurus, the people in the live broadcast room were terrified:
[I knew Lin Xi was no ordinary person. This ghost is simply dreaming of using illusion to control Lin Xi.]
[In fact, the method is quite scary. I don’t think he can even pass the first level, He Sitong.]
[Why don't you conjure up Lin Xi's parents? Maybe they can really control Lin Xi.]
[You're dreaming, right? Even Shen Sangning can't control herself. If her parents come, they'll probably get beaten up too.]
[Hiss, it feels like he hit me pretty hard. It does look a bit painful.]
The illusion found that he really had no way to deal with Lin Xi. Shen Sangning and the car accident scene in front of him disappeared directly, and returned to darkness. And the ground under his feet was covered with water again.
After a moment, a light gate appeared in front of her. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before she realized: Could I have passed the level? She raised her feet and slowly walked towards the light gate. To be cautious, Lin Xi walked around the light gate. Finding it was just a door, nothing special, she walked through.
No matter what was inside, she would just fight against the enemy with her own army and block the water with her own earth. She just didn't expect that she would actually pass the level.
Shen Sangning had been sitting there for a long time, holding the book. She floated in the air motionless, and even the flying books beside her seemed to have been paused. There were no ghosts in the space where she was staying, and no idiot would come over to kill her.
At this moment, she felt the book in her arms move. Surprised, Shen Sangning hesitated for a long time. The book in her arms was so profoundly insightful, she had no choice but to let it go. She held it loose, and it floated in mid-air before suddenly opening.
A hand emerged from the book, grasping at something in the air. The next moment, a large eyeball flew out of the book, landing nearby and faithfully recording the scene before it. Shen Sangning didn't even spare a glance for the large eyeball, only focusing on the book before her.
The hand grabbed for a long time before grabbing a corner of the book, and then another hand appeared. This time Shen Sangning could not sit still, she reached out and grabbed the second hand that just appeared.
His hands also clasped hers, and then there was a pause. After a while, Shen Sangning heard a voice coming from inside the book: "Ningning, are you outside? Can you pull me up? I seem to be stuck and can't get out."
At this moment, Shen Sangning didn't hesitate at all and directly pulled Lin Xi's hand and pulled her outside.
