Jin Shangyue's entire consciousness felt as if it were being soaked in a warm spiritual spring, warm and soft, and filled with a rich energy that made her feel comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, one scene after another played out in my mind.
The first image is of a dark night with a torrential downpour.
Several bodyguards in black appeared in the desolate mountains and quickly dug a deep pit.
Then he threw a large black bag containing heavy objects into the pit, burying it.
The scene shifts to a gloomy daytime.
The rain was continuous, and the roads were flooded, clearly indicating that a heavy rain had just fallen.
Five black cars drove along the road that ran alongside the mountain.
Suddenly, some red soil and rocks rolled down in front of them, and the driver quickly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes.
Just as the car came to a stop, a loud, booming sound filled the air.
Immediately afterwards, a mudslide, like flowing water, surged down the slope.
They completely blocked the road in front of the black sedan.
They were just a hair's breadth away from being buried by the sudden mudslide. If it weren't for the red mud and stones rolling down beforehand to stop the cars, they would definitely be buried by the mudslide now.
The people in the car got out one after another; it turned out to be a group of bodyguards in black.
They immediately ran to the low-key yet luxurious car in the middle, forming a human shield.
One of the bodyguards held up a huge umbrella, the car door opened, and a girl dressed in casual clothes with her hair in a ponytail stepped out.
The edge of the large black umbrella made the girl's snow-white skin appear even whiter and more radiant.
The girl had a calm and indifferent expression, with eyes like stars, eyebrows like crescent moons, and exquisitely beautiful features with delicate lines, giving her an alluring androgynous charm.
It was none other than Jin Shangyue herself.
And she looked about the same age back then, just like she does now.
Jin Shangyue paused slightly as she looked into the memory-influenced gaze, then carefully recalled what she had seen.
This appears to have happened when she was nineteen years old in her first life, while she was away on a business trip.
"Boss, Xiao Ba is back from his scout job. He found a bag of shredded excrement in the mudslide ahead."
Jin Shangyue heard the voice of the bodyguard holding an umbrella for her in the video.
Memories that were so distant they were almost forgotten have begun to stir.
She remembered the details of that scene.
On her way back, she encountered a mudslide and also found a bag of broken feces that had been washed out by the mudslide.
Perhaps it was the thought of her parents, who had been tricked and killed in a car accident, that made her feel a rare pity for the wreckage.
To die a terrible death and be buried in the wilderness must have been a great injustice.
Jin Shangyue's rare compassion led her to speak up and give instructions to the bodyguards.
Thinking of this, Jin Shangyue heard herself in the image speaking in a clear and melodious voice.
"Have Xiao Ba call the police and let them handle it. Keep an eye on the situation secretly, without showing your face."
"Yes, boss."
"Let's take another route," the girl in the video said before getting back into the car.
Just as the convoy turned to leave, a spirit flashed through the pile of rubble and appeared in the car, next to the girl.
Seeing this, Jin Shangyue: ...
She said something was wrong, and it turned out she'd encountered a ghost!
The ghostly figure had no physical form, nor did it resemble a complete soul.
Perhaps because he died without a complete body, even his soul was just a phantom.
Moreover, this phantom image is pieced together in fragments, with gaps between the pieces.
Even if it's just a human figure pieced together from shadows, the sight is still extremely unsettling.
Jin Shangyue suddenly felt a little fortunate. In her first life, in order to take revenge and support the Shangyue Group, she went abroad to study psychology and forensic medicine. She even hired mercenaries as teachers to learn how to kill and develop her martial arts skills.
But it didn't touch on metaphysics.
Otherwise, if I had known that I had taken pity on someone and brought back a little tail, and that it was a damn ugly shadow ghost, I would definitely have thanked them!
The ghostly figure didn't do anything to her; it just looked silly, as if it were mentally unstable.
Jin Shangyue also realized that the ghost was following her unconsciously.
The soul is completely confused and in a daze, unable to think at all.
Driven only by instinct, once it was finally freed from its confinement and could roam freely in the mountains and forests, it subconsciously sought out a place that felt safe to it.
And this safe place for it was right next to Jinshangyue.
The scene shifts to the chairman's office of Shangyue Group.
Jin Shangyue saw herself in the video, dressed in a suit, sitting at a desk, listening to the bodyguard captain's report.
"Boss, we've got results for the dismemberment case we discovered last month."
"The police station sealed the file as an unclaimed, unidentified body and closed the case internally."
"All relevant materials and clues have also been destroyed."
"I had Xiao Jiu intercept the data before it was destroyed, and we discovered that it was the work of powerful figures in Kyoto."
"Moreover, the other party also wanted to find out who called the police, seemingly wanting to erase all traces."
"Fortunately, Xiao Jiu had destroyed all traces of our presence beforehand, so even if the other party discovers that we seem to have walked that road, they won't be able to suspect us."
"There were at least several hundred people who were suspected of passing by that area that day. The people behind it probably wouldn't dare to make a move easily, as the target group is too large."
The girl picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and then spoke.
"Let's hold back for now; we don't need to worry about this anymore."
"But I still need Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu to keep a close watch on things and pay attention to what's going on in Kyoto. If anything seems amiss, they must report it to me."
