Chapter 55

Suburbs, Qingyun Temple.

This was something Aunt Lin had inquired about. It was the most spiritual Taoist temple near Anchuan City. Song Zhiyi came here not to ward off disaster or tell fortunes, but just to burn incense.

The incense was three sticks of the finest sandalwood that he had asked someone to buy. Under the guidance of the Taoist priest in the temple, Song Zhiyi bowed and saluted, carefully inserting the sandalwood into the incense burner, along with the gray hair that he had hidden between his fingers in advance.

The incense ash was so thick that it would soon cover up these few short strands of hair. Song Zhiyi withdrew his hand, his lips curled slightly. Since he wanted to steal other people's fortunes using this unorthodox method, he might as well try stealing the Three Pure Ones' fortunes.

After leaving Qingyun Temple, on the way back, Song Zhiyi strolled along the mountain trail and casually took out two gems from her pocket. One was one of their grandmother's relics that Song Zhiyu had asked Liu Shunan to get back, and the other was a cat's eye stone that Liu Qifan had given her after asking Miao Henliu for it.

Yesterday, after discovering that there was something hidden in the cat's eye stone and the base, Song Zhiyi almost immediately thought of the emerald necklace that Liu Shunan had sent back.

When they went to ask for their grandmother's relics, Liu Shunan's reaction was too straightforward. Although he asked Song Zhiyu to marry "Miss Zhi" at that time, it was really just a request.

It was as if his purpose was to give them this necklace.

Song Zhiyi immediately took a tool to pry up the gem, and sure enough, he found the same gray-white hair underneath as in the cat's eye stone pendant. The difference was that there were some golden wolf hair-like things inside.

Song Zhiyi put the gem back into his pocket and lowered his eyes to look at his clean palm.

Without the protection of the necklace, she felt a palpitation the moment she grabbed the hair and the golden wolf hair yesterday. Then a white light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. As she lost control of her body, she saw a soft, spherical golden light.

Then Song Zhiyi realized that she had fainted again.

The golden ball is considered an "acquaintance". When Song Zhiyi saw it for the first time, he saw Song Zhiyu's life of love and death in a coma, and also obtained the big plug-in, the character card book.

This was the second time, and at the same time, Song Zhiyi was vaguely aware that this would also be the last time.

Generally speaking, people will gradually remember their dreams after waking up, but Song Zhiyi remembered both of his "dreams" clearly.

Unlike last time, when I saw the golden ball again yesterday, it seemed to know that it had made a mistake and pulled the target's sister over. The golden light was listless and it didn't do the mysterious thing shown on the screen, but told everything.

It is said that the golden ball is more like a world consciousness, but this world is not like the novel called "Raising Canaries" as Song Zhiyi originally guessed, but a real world that is a bit metaphysical but generally scientific.

In this world, there are some people with good luck or high inspiration. These people can occasionally see golden balls in their dreams, and every time such people appear, the golden ball will give them rewards.

Forty years ago, the golden ball divided its two rays of light and gave them to a brother and sister, and they got a pen and a piece of paper.

The Golden Ball could always feel the traces of its gift until about seventeen years ago, when the connection between the pen and it suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a woman who should have lived a long and happy life died prematurely.

Half a year later, the Golden Globe felt the pen's presence for the last time.

The aura of the pen is no longer neutral and peaceful, and even the holder of the pen is trying to use this power to rewrite his life. What's worse, he has even sacrificed at least one life to obscure the perception of the golden ball.

The reason why the golden ball could sense this action was because there was a force that was conflicting with the pen and trying to stop the action of the person holding the pen. That force came from the paper it had given to its sister.

I don't know what the younger sister did, but the pen holder was seriously injured and went into hiding again, and could not be found. However, the younger sister also used the paper from the same source to record the fate that was rewritten by the pen holder.

After the sister's death, the golden ball was finally able to recover its gift and improve it, which was the prototype of the character card book.

In order to correct the disturbed timeline, the golden ball began to try to connect with the small number of people who could dream with it, and finally found Song Zhijun.

Originally, the most suitable targets were Song Zhiyi and her brother, but their destiny lines were greatly disrupted and could not be directly connected. Song Zhijun could only think of other ways and used the clothes they wore when they were children before their destiny lines were disrupted as a medium to let the golden ball find Song Zhiyi.

In that space, Song Zhiyi also received the gift of the golden ball, which is the current character card book. However, after all, Song Zhiyi did not take the initiative to enter the dream, so this gift can only be regarded as borrowed by her, and it is said that there will be some side effects.

However, she hasn't noticed any side effects from using it so far.

The people whose destinies were rewritten were the protagonists of the novel "Raising a Canary". As for why people from the entire entertainment industry appeared on the character card book, the Golden Globe said it was none of its business.

After all, giving is invisible and only depends on the thoughts and feelings of the recipient.

After the recollection, Song Zhiyi walked to the foot of the mountain and put the two gems back into his pocket.

Yu An had already driven to the foot of the mountain and was waiting. He stood tall, scanning the passers-by with his sharp eagle eyes. When he saw Song Zhiyi coming, he silently opened the car door for her.

The car was just an ordinary black car, the kind that could "collide" eight cars if driven a hundred meters. Song Zhiyi sat in the back seat and fastened his seat belt, and his tense body finally relaxed a little.

This car has been specially modified by someone, and the entire car is collision-proof and bullet-proof, so its safety is self-evident.

Song Zhiyi took out the character card album from her bag and brushed her fingers across the cover. The five large gold-plated characters "Raising a Canary" immediately appeared on the blue cover. Upon closer inspection, they could even gleam.

Jinqiu didn't know why this card book contained all the "personality cards" in the entertainment industry, but Song Zhiyi had a vague guess in his heart -

When she first saw the Golden Globe Awards, she saw Song Zhiyu's future rewritten by the screenwriter. Song Zhiyu seemed to have died of a broken heart, but it was not just a broken heart. The source of his "suicide" was cyber violence and deliberately guided public opinion.

Song Zhiyi was eager to know who was the person controlling the situation. Since her brother was in the entertainment industry, the first person she suspected was this big dye vat, which led to the current character card book.

As for who the manipulator is, although it is not written on the character card booklet, Song Zhiyi already has the answer in his heart.

——Whoever benefits the most from it is the perpetrator.

Liu Qifan.

Although "Raising a Canary" seems to be a story about the heroine Lin Xiaofeng being entangled between a domineering president and a male star, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Liu Qifan.

Not only did he marry the beauty in the end, he also successfully annexed the Qiao family, and finally became the real ruler of the Liu family.

As for the other two protagonists, Lin Xiaofeng and Song Zhiyu, they are both Golden Globe-certified people with great luck who can do everything smoothly, while Liu Qifan... Sorry, there is no such person.

Furthermore, according to the Golden Globe, the protagonists of Raising a Canary all had their fates changed by the writer. It is hard not to think that what the writer really wanted to do was to change the fates of Lin Xiaofeng and Song Zhiyu and transfer their luck to Liu Qifan.

Otherwise, there is no reason to let a beautiful vase be the "male lead".

The person behind the scenes...is probably the mysterious master of the Liu family.

And the woman that Jin Qiu mentioned who died young seventeen years ago...definitely, it was her aunt.

"Mr. Song, are you going home or somewhere else?"

After not receiving any instructions for a long time, Yu An could not help but ask.

"Go..." Song Zhiyi paused and said, "Go to Huaxing."

Lin Xiaofeng, she must be one of Liu Qifan’s targets.

In the rewritten fate line, Lin Xiaofeng faded out of the entertainment industry after marriage and must have become an unknown "housewife". Song Zhiyi was unable to find out her detailed life in the character card book.

But what is certain is that among Lin Xiaofeng, Song Zhiyu and Miao Henliu, the former is the easiest to attack, so she must at least ensure Lin Xiaofeng's safety.

*

Yasukawa City, suburbs.

Unlike the last time when he was leisurely, Liu Qifan got off the car in a hurry and ran to the hanging flower gate he had visited yesterday, followed by a Taoist boy who was walking in the same hurried steps.

Squeak——

Before he could knock, the door opened. Master Zhao stretched out an old and withered hand and pulled him in. Then the door closed in front of the Taoist boy.

The Taoist boy pursed his lips, then calmed down and sat cross-legged outside the door.

In the room, Liu Qifan leaned on his knees with his hands and took two deep breaths. He looked into the darkness and asked, "What happened?"

"Liu Shunan can't hold on any longer." Master Zhao pointed at his eyes and then hurriedly dragged the person over in a wheelchair. Liu Shunan, who seemed a little confused yesterday but was generally healthy, now looked like he was on the verge of death, and even his pupils were about to dilate.

"Why is this happening? He was fine yesterday afternoon," Liu Qifan followed him, his eyes downcast, "Before I left, wasn't he able to get out of the wheelchair and walk?"

"There was something wrong with the thing I gave to the kid from the Song family," Master Zhao cursed. "No matter who in the Song family it was given to, it would have a great effect. But after giving it to the kid from the Song family for so long, he didn't absorb any luck from it. Yesterday, it suddenly seemed to have a last burst of energy for a few minutes, but it backfired not long after."

"Backlash?" Liu Qifan's eyes were sinister. "You never mentioned this before."

"Don't worry," Master Zhao snorted coldly, "You are my biological son, and I will never harm you. Most of the things you got before were obtained from the waste of the Liu family. They don't have the ability to bite you back."

"So what should we do now?"

"Go find the girl surnamed Miao," Master Zhao said. "She is of the Liu family and her name contains both "wood" and "willow". Only she can keep Liu Shunan alive. Capture her. Although this may not be as effective as a gradual approach, it can at least allow this old man to live a few more months. ..."

"puff--"

Master Zhao stopped talking abruptly and couldn't stop spitting out blood. Liu Qifan dodged subconsciously, but stopped his action and hurried to help. The next moment, the scene in front of him was stained with blood.

"Master Zhao, you..." Liu Qifan wiped his eyelids with his sleeve, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that Master Zhao's hand, which was as loose as a dead tree, was rapidly beginning to fill with flesh and blood, and then, the skin became smooth and delicate in an instant, as if it was newly born.

When I looked up again, the skin around Master Zhao's neck had also changed, and his face looked more like that of a young man in his early twenties. His facial features looked very similar to him.

Liu Qifan was delighted, as he knew best that Master Zhao's facial expression partially reflected his condition.

"Congratulations..." Liu Qifan opened his mouth and uttered a vague syllable, his eyes filled with fear.

The flesh and blood under Master Zhao's skin continued to fill up, and soon red lines appeared on his skin, as if it was about to explode...

"Go, grab Lin Xiaofeng here." Master Zhao squeezed out a few words from his throat, "The sooner the better..."

——

The hanging flower door was forced open from the inside, and a bloody smell immediately filled the air.

The Taoist boy watched Liu Qifan's back as he fled like a bereaved dog, walked hesitantly to the open door, and asked loudly, "Master, are you okay?"

No one in the room answered, so the Taoist boy asked again hesitantly.

"Master?"

The next moment, a blood-stained hand stretched out from behind the door, grabbed the Taoist boy's neck and pulled him in.

The screams were silenced by his palms, and the room was silent again.
