Chapter 138
On the other hand,
Cheng Hui didn't know what kind of personality the boss of Tiandao had in this world he lived in. Fortunately, he didn't expect any special gifts.
On the other hand, he has always felt that being able to travel through different worlds and experience different lives is already a precious treasure.
"Uh...um, brother? Are you still there? HELLO?"
Cheng Hui squatted on the ground and poked the corpse with his translucent fingers.
Obviously, this corpse is the one Xiaotong chose for him to possess, but... doesn't it mean that he has to communicate with the other party and reach an agreement before he can use it?
But...where are the people?
"Brother, are you still here? If you are, please let me know."
Cheng Hui was also helpless. Xiao Tong said that he wanted to reach an agreement, but he didn't say what to do if the person was gone?
Does he have to possess the other person first and then communicate with him?
He tried to crawl down in the same position as the corpse, but there was no response.
He tried various postures to possess the body, but still to no avail.
Cheng Hui suddenly felt numb.
What should I do?
He looked at the corpse on the ground in distress and muttered, "This is too much! They didn't even give me an instruction manual..."
Before he finished speaking, the corpse on the ground suddenly twitched twice and sat up.
The two of them immediately came face to face, the distance between the tips of their noses was only one centimeter at most, almost touching.
Cheng Hui: ...
Cheng Hui:!!!
Holy crap!!!
Cheng Hui was shocked. He quickly jumped away and looked at the corpse in shock.
What happened to your promise to be possessed by me? What the hell is this resurrection from the dead?
He hid vigilantly behind a big rock and watched the corpse crawling up from the ground. There was originally a deep wound on the back of the corpse that could be seen to the bone, but now the area around the wound was wriggling rapidly and happily. In the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared, and only the tattered clothes with blood stains remained to prove what had happened before.
Cheng Hui: ...
Cheng Hui was completely stunned.
After witnessing a resurrection from the dead with his own eyes, he felt completely devastated.
No...isn't this corpse prepared for me?
He looked around suspiciously, trying to find a body that met the requirements.
But the result is - no.
He didn't see any corpse that met the requirements within a radius of dozens of meters.
Uh...if I must say, there is a black cat in the bushes over there that died not long ago.
Cheng Hui: ...
No way?
Cheng Hui suddenly felt his scalp tingling. Thinking of the black cat suit that Xiaotong had worn, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Could it be that the black cat Xiaotong prepared for him?
Many thoughts raced through his mind, but he never forgot to focus on the corpse that had come back to life.
It was an adult male, whom he had just observed. He was about twenty years old, handsome in appearance, and his clothes were not bad, but the fabrics used were definitely not something that ordinary people could afford.
At this time, the young man seemed to have been resurrected. His face was rosy, and his bright eyes looked around, as if... looking for something?
"Ah Hui? Are you there?"
Cheng Hui: ...
Cheng Hui: ???
Call me?
"Ah Hui, I know you are nearby. I... I don't know what happened. It suddenly became like this. I'm so scared." The man's tone became very frightened, as if he had encountered something terrible.
Cheng Hui didn't rush over, but observed from a distance. He felt that the man seemed very anxious and was wandering around as if he was looking for something, but was very uneasy because he couldn't find it.
"Ahui, don't scare me, I'm really scared." The man's eyes were red and he was about to cry.
Cheng Hui felt that he was not pretending, but the question was... who was this person?
Perhaps he heard his inner voice, but the man suddenly said, "Ah Hui, I'm Ah Qiu. We fought together last time. I... I don't know what happened. I just woke up and before I could talk to you, I was suddenly sucked away by this corpse."
Cheng Hui: ...
WTF???
Aqiu?
Of course Cheng Hui remembered Aqiu. The last time he encountered a body possession incident, Aqiu also helped him. If it weren't for Aqiu, it would be hard to say who is in this body now.
However, Aqiu never showed up later, so Cheng Hui didn't remember him for the time being.
After recalling Aqiu's identity, Cheng Hui probably finally realized what was going on.
He guessed that when he first entered this world, the owner of the corpse might have recognized the wrong person and directly reached an agreement with Aqiu who possessed his body, so that the person who now possessed the corpse became Aqiu.
After figuring out these things, Cheng Hui suddenly felt that he was in big trouble.
He had no idea why Aqiu was parasitic in his soul, and he had no idea how Aqiu entered this corpse.
The problem now is... he was the one who paid the deposit to Tiandao. If Aqiu fails to fulfill the wish of the corpse owner, he will naturally be the one to have the deposit deducted.
Thinking about Xiao Tong's stinginess with the Merit Sands, Cheng Hui felt a headache. If he really lost the deposit, he could imagine Xiao Tong staring at him with that resentful look for a long time...
Hiss, it’s so scary just thinking about it!
"Are you Aqiu?" Cheng Hui poked his head out from behind the rock.
The man's eyes suddenly lit up, he ran over quickly and hugged Cheng Hui in his arms - but unfortunately he hugged nothing.
The man's expression was ferocious for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. He looked at Cheng Hui with grievance: "Don't you recognize me? You have no conscience."
Cheng Hui shuddered. Why did this sound weird?
He rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and frowned: "Ahem, what do you mean by heartless? Speak properly. If someone didn't know, they would think I had abandoned you."
Aqiu agreed obediently, but in his heart he made a cross on a small notebook with an expressionless face.
Cheng Hui doesn't buy into this kind of coquettish attitude, so he'll have to be careful next time.
"Um... did you see anyone when you were possessed just now?" Cheng Hui asked.
He felt that he must first find out the wishes of the original owner of the body.
Although he did not possess the body, Ah Qiu succeeded in possessing it. To be precise, he used the body, so the other party's last wish must be fulfilled.
When Ah Qiu heard what Cheng Hui said, he immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "No wonder, the person I just saw was the original owner of this corpse."
Seeing Cheng Hui looking at him expectantly, Aqiu didn't keep him in suspense: "He said he hopes to revive the family business."
Revive the family business?
Cheng Hui had a thoughtful expression.
He asked, "Do you know his identity and background?"
This is also what Xiao Tong has learned. As long as an agreement is reached, he can obtain the original owner's memory after possession, so as to avoid being exposed as a stowaway when meeting others.
Although he could completely give up everything about this identity, the problem was... Boss Tiandao was watching him from above.
Even if you, as a stowaway, have obtained tacit consent, you still have to work hard.
To quote Cheng Hui, you cannot destroy your character, you must fulfill his last wish as the person you were designed for, and then you can use this body as you please.
Ah Qiu blinked. "His name is Liu Qing. He's the youngest son of the Liu family in Wushan Town. Their ancestors produced several imperial chefs, and they had many recipes. Unfortunately, their descendants weren't up to the task, and the family fortune gradually fell apart. So, this branch of the family had no choice but to move from the capital to Wushan Town."
"Luckily, Wushan Town is a major transportation hub with many caravans passing through. His family opened the Chunfeng Restaurant in the town and lived a fairly prosperous life. He had an older brother named Liu Yuan, who owned the restaurant. His father had handed it over to his brother a long time ago. The restaurant was doing well initially, but then another restaurant opened in the town, and things started to get tough."
"If both sides were competing openly, Chunfeng Restaurant wouldn't have anything to fear. But they couldn't stand the fact that the other party wasn't following the right path and resorted to shady tactics. They deliberately disrupted their supply channels, sent people to cause trouble at Chunfeng Restaurant, and even paid a large sum to poach their chef and take away many of their recipes. His eldest brother was so angry that he went to the owner of the restaurant to argue, but he broke his legs and threw him out. He's still bedridden to this day."
"This young master is not a good person either. He tried every possible way to get revenge, and as a result... it turned out like this." Aqiu spread his hands helplessly.
"No way?" Cheng Hui frowned and asked, "For a business dispute like this, the other party would just sue me?"
He did not forget the deep wound on Liu Qing's back when he first arrived. It was obviously meant to take his life, without a doubt.
After reading Liu Qing's memories, Aqiu was also speechless.
How to say it...Originally, the business dispute should not have reached this point, but Liu Qing was unlucky. When he went to find trouble with that family, he accidentally saw something. He himself did not realize anything, but the other party was worried that he knew their secrets, so they took action against him.
It can be said that he was extremely unlucky. He himself had no idea why he died.
"So... when we go back this time, we not only have to revive our family business, but we also have to face the enemy's endless stream of killers?" Cheng Hui looked at Aqiu, who nodded nonchalantly.
Cheng Hui scratched his head in distress. Actually... it wasn't a big problem.
This world is a low-magic world where ghosts and spirits do not exist, and humans can only practice some martial arts. Therefore, if you want to kill someone, you have to use real guns and swords. It is impossible to kill someone invisibly by just throwing a curse from a distance.
This will most likely prevent Cheng Hui from dying inexplicably... Oh no, it's Aqiu who needs to be careful now, after all, he is the one wearing Liu Qing's skin.
As long as he couldn't kill someone from a distance, Cheng Hui was quite confident in close combat, thanks to his hard training over the past year.
Uncle Ghost's actions were truly ruthless and cruel, but one must admit that the effect was remarkable, at least...
etc……
Cheng Hui suddenly froze. He looked at Liu Qing's body opposite him and suddenly realized that his soul had traveled through time and space. Liu Qing was just a young master who had never done any housework. How could he unleash his full power with such an untrained physique?
Obviously impossible!
He took a deep breath.
He raised his head and said to Aqiu solemnly: "Now, if we want to save your life, we can only use our ultimate move."
"What ultimate move?" Aqiu asked cooperatively.
Cheng Hui slowly uttered three words: "Money power..."
Aqiu: "Superpower?" What is this?
Two days later, seeing the yard full of burly men, Ah Qiu said to Cheng Hui speechlessly, "Is this your money power?"
"That's right, they're rich and willful. No matter how powerful the Liu family is, they were once wealthy, so hiring a few bodyguards to protect them is not a problem."
Aqiu: ...
