Lin Dan and Gao Shukai stood in the cramped rental house and watched the tragic and short life of the handsome boy. The three men hid his body parts in a grave that had been dug long ago, used someone else's hands to cover up the evidence of their crime, then returned the rent and left the city.
It was almost dusk when the car they were riding in passed the cemetery. Qingyuan Mountain was shrouded in the bright red setting sun, and from a distance it looked as if the ground was covered with blood. Lin Dan and Gao Shukai's perspective also changed accordingly, moving from the rental house to the top of the mountain in an instant.
"How about it, is my life wonderful?" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Dan immediately pulled Gao Shukai behind her and turned around to see the handsome young man sitting on a tombstone with a sly smile on his face. Lin Dan stared at him intently without saying a word. Gao Shukai wanted to walk in front of her and block her, but he was always pulled back by her.
The handsome young man saw them pulling and tugging at each other, both wanting to protect each other, and couldn't help but reveal an interested expression. He clapped his hands and coaxed, "Well, do you want to go out?"
Lin Dan still didn't say anything. Gao Shukai thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you want in exchange for letting us out?"
"Didn't I tell you before? As long as you lend me your body, I will let you out. This is my den of ghosts. No one can come in or out without my permission." The handsome young man said slowly, "This condition is very simple, right? My body is pressed under someone else's coffin and can never turn over. My soul cannot leave this place either. After leaving Qingyuan Mountain, I will naturally return your body and then seek revenge on those people. It's that simple."
Gao Shukai is not a fool, so he naturally would not believe these words, which is why he was dragged into the past by the ghost and endured the pain of being tortured and killed on his behalf. The other party tried to make him compromise by destroying his body and spirit, but he gritted his teeth and persevered until Lin Dan arrived.
However, he could not hesitate at this moment, because Lin Dan was there, and he could not let her suffer the same pain.
Thinking of this, Gao Shukai was about to nod in agreement, but Lin Dan quickly covered his mouth. She stared at the handsome boy and said coldly, "If I lend you my body, will you be willing to give it back? Since you can create ghosts, you must be a ghost king. It is easy for you to take over other people's bodies. There are so many people who came with Gao Shukai. Why did you choose his body instead of others'?"
There was one more question that Lin Dan didn't ask, which was why did Gao Shukai have to agree in person before the boy could take over his body? How similar is this situation to that of the strange man before? Are all the ghosts in this world so moral?
But Lin Dan knew that this was not the case. If ordinary ghosts had the ability, they would have taken over another person's body long ago. Why would they ask so many nonsense questions? From this, it can be seen that the ghost and the strange man in front of us should both be affected by the same kind of restriction. There are too many years between the two and they have no relationship. So what is the intersection with this restriction?
Lin Dan would have time to explore the answers to all the questions only after they got out of the ghost den. Now, she had to find a way to take Gao Shukai away from here. This is a ghost king, whose strength is far beyond her expectations. The holy Gu is still incubating, and the power it can mobilize is not enough to tear apart the ghost den, let alone kill the ghost.
But no matter what, Lin Dan had to give it a try. She shook Gao Shukai's hand and said carefully: "No matter what happens, you can't agree to lend your body to him. Even if I die, even if we fall into hell, you must always believe that all this is an illusion. Only if you persist, we will have hope of getting out. If you give up, we will die anyway."
Gao Shukai held her hand tightly and nodded, "I will never agree to him. Lin Dan, what are you going to do?" Only at this moment did he have a clear understanding of Lin Dan's identity. Like Ai Yu and Zhou Nan, she is a member of the Xuanmen sect and possesses abilities that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Lin Dan did not answer, but rushed towards the young man with a tiptoe.
The boy's body appeared and disappeared in mid-air, not letting her touch a single corner of his clothes. He smiled softly, "You are very smart. You saw through the essence of the matter at a glance. Yes, he is indeed the skin I carefully selected. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I can wait. Anyway, I have plenty of time."
Lin Dan was too lazy to say a word to him. He stepped on a tombstone and jumped into the air, stabbing the boy fiercely with his black nails. The boy kept dodging, and she kept attacking, her moves becoming more and more tricky, her movements becoming more and more agile, as if she knew no fatigue. After fighting for dozens of rounds, the boy's cheek was scratched by her, and a lot of evil energy similar to black blood flowed out.
Ghosts can also be injured. This strange thing obviously shocked the boy. He wiped the blood off his cheek and gritted his teeth and said, "Who the hell are you? How could you hurt me?"
Lin Dan answered his question with a more fierce attack.
The boy's effortless figure began to show some embarrassment, and after being scratched again, he suddenly disappeared on the spot. Lin Dan seemed to have thought of something and quickly retreated to Gao Shukai's side. As soon as she approached him, she found that his face was slowly turning into that of a young boy.
"You are very powerful. I underestimated you." The young man said sinisterly, "In that case, I will let you also have a taste of the feeling of being powerless."
Lin Dan wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The young man suddenly approached and pushed her into the illusion. When she opened her eyes again, she had already possessed the boy's body, reliving his experiences in his previous life. She was like a puppet, living and learning according to the boy's behavior patterns, and like a bystander, watching him fall into hell.
He had a boyfriend, and when he was being sent home, she couldn't help but kiss him in the dark corridor. They hugged each other tightly, so sweetly and so happily, but they had no idea that in the darker corner, there was someone looking at them with vicious eyes.
The boy's sexual orientation was discovered by his roommate, who then told the other two roommates about it. They decided to "eliminate the harm to the people" and teach this pervert a lesson. At first they just cursed at him in person, but when they saw that the boy had a pale face and dared not resist, they gradually started to beat and kick him. They threatened to report the boy to the school in order to force him to work like a slave for them. The boy's weakness and non-resistance gave them pleasure in abusing him.
Their behavior began to escalate, from beating and scolding to imprisonment, torture, and eventually murder and dismemberment.
Lin Dan could feel the boy's helplessness, despair, and pain, but he was powerless to do anything. She was just a prisoner trapped in this body and had no control over his fate. There is no doubt that his experience was extremely horrific. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was purgatory on earth. An ordinary person would go crazy after experiencing it once, let alone an endless reincarnation?
Seeing that the second reincarnation was about to begin, Lin Dan knew that he could not wait any longer, so he said calmly: "You can't even break free from a coffin, no wonder you were killed by these scumbags. If it were me, or any other man with blood, I would not end up like you. The reason you were killed is that you are useless, not anyone else. What qualifications do you have to talk about revenge? You are just a waste."
The cramped space began to twist and deform, squeezing Lin Dan's soul hard, but she didn't even frown.
The young man's gloomy voice came from all directions: "Then I want to see what you will do when you fall into this situation." He chuckled and reversed the illusion.
The next second, Lin Dan found herself being strangled by a tall and strong man, and two people were holding down her hands and feet, making her unable to move. Without even saying hello, the young man asked her to reenact the scene of his murder. She could freely control this body, but there was no room for resistance. She was too tired, too hungry, and too weak to survive long even if she wasn't strangled.
Her breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped. The tall and strong man then let go of the wire and whispered, "Bring the knife and saw."
The two accomplices went to get tools, and the tall and strong man sniffed Lin Dan's breath, but he didn't expect that she suddenly opened her eyes, pounced on him, strangled his neck tightly with both hands, bit the skin on the side of his neck with her teeth, and began to suck blood frantically. She had been hungry for many days in a row, and the fishy and salty blood did not make her feel nauseous. Instead, it greatly stimulated her appetite. She was like a wolf who would not let go of her prey once she bit it. The blood splattered everywhere, dyeing her body and her eyes red.
It only took the man a few tens of seconds from struggling violently to convulsing weakly.
Lin Dan stood up from the pool of blood, picked up a beer bottle at random and smashed it, then leaned weakly against the door.
Hearing the sound of breaking glass, the other two men hurried in to check. The man in front had just stepped over the threshold when Lin Dan's beer bottle pierced his neck and blood gushed out. The man behind was so frightened that he didn't have time to react before Lin Dan pulled out the beer bottle and stabbed it directly into his eyeball.
One of the two men fell down slowly, holding his neck; the other one ran around covering his face, and the sharp knives and saws they brought fell to the ground.
Lin Dan was very weak. After doing all this, she was out of breath and her face was as pale as paper. But she did not dare to relax at all. She picked up a knife, staggered behind the blind man, and cut his carotid artery. Thick blood flowed slowly on the ground, eventually covering her pale instep. She stood in the blood for a long time, then pushed the door open and walked out.
There was a flash of white light and the scene changed. Lin Dan found himself back to the time when he was a teenager and was bullied by these three people. They didn't dare to do anything too extreme, so they just blocked him in the alley and beat him up. Lin Dan can control this body, but cannot use any of his own power. She truly became a powerless teenager and was beaten until her head was bleeding.
After finding herself powerless to resist, she could only hold her head and curl up in the corner. After the three men finished beating her, she did not hide away to heal her wounds like the teenager did, but instead called the police.
The boy could have canceled the lease and stayed away from these three demons, but he didn't do that. He has too many concerns and is too timid. He was afraid that the three people would go to the school and report that he was gay. He was also afraid of his parents' blame, and even more afraid of other people's strange looks. So he could only be bullied again and again, and chose to remain silent again and again.
But Lin Dan would not remain silent. She went to the hospital to check her injuries and took the three people to court. The three were detained for half a month and compensated her with a sum of money. When the boy's parents learned about this, they came from afar to see her. Although they were angry, they felt more distressed. The school did not expel her. Sexual orientation is not a choice and is not a fault. Some of her classmates despised her and stayed away from her, while others encouraged and supported her.
She moved out of the rental house and moved on with her life...
