lonely ghost
It's not daybreak yet.
Su Liu couldn't sleep, so he changed his position and lay facing outward.
The moment he turned around, he saw Mr. Lou sitting on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked and his back to him. He didn't know how long he had been there.
"Put on your clothes and respect yourself!" Su Liu was furious.
Boss Lou turned around with a smile.
There was an old bruise on his chest in the apical area...it looked like an injection wound.
Su Liu sat up and put her arm around Boss Lou's shoulder, looking down carefully.
...is a toxicological reaction.
"Who did it?" Su Liu's eyes were calm but with a hint of madness.
"Su Liu," Boss Lou hugged Su Liu and said aggrievedly, "In that world, the person you met was always me. When I was sixteen, my mother wanted to bring me back here, but I didn't want to. So I gave her 5% of my soul fragments and a mirror body to continue staying in that world with you."
"I am the first person to know you." Boss Lou emphasized the point.
"I'm asking you, who did it?" Su Liu said with a smile.
"You weren't like this when you heard the news of my death," Boss Lou said with a bitter smile.
"...You didn't die of myocardial infarction, but were murdered by someone?" Su Liu's eyes became serious.
He remembered that he was talking about a project with someone when his assistant suddenly ran in in a panic and said that Qi Fengling was dead three days ago.
His first reaction was: "How could it be so young?"
Then he felt dazed for a moment and asked again, "Is he dead?"
Perhaps it was because he was too calm that the other party was a little frightened. He was sweating coldly in the middle of summer and was wiping his sweat awkwardly.
Su Liu now felt that the man was obviously guilty.
"It's two forces... I understand," Su Liu guessed the whole story almost at a glance.
The person who discussed the project with him was from another country. When he was sixteen years old, that person wanted to poach him.
The man tried to persuade him with the following reasoning: "You are the common ruler of the world. How can you be confined to a place like a trapped dragon? And you are forcibly imprisoned by those ungrateful people. If you are willing to return to my country with me, you will surely achieve great things."
Su Liu rejected the man at the time. He said, "Everyone should love their own country. I think you are right, and I respect people like you. This is why I am willing to cooperate with you even though I know we have different positions. But I have my own persistence. This is my bottom line. Sorry."
That person didn't insist, and Su Liu thought he had given up. Who would have thought that he would use such a shady trick fourteen years later?
"It wasn't his men who did it, but he certainly had something to do with it," the boss said. "That night when I was sleeping, I felt a strange smell in the room. I'd been having insomnia, so I shouldn't have fallen asleep the moment I closed my eyes... Later, I was awakened by a crushing pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw three people in the room. One was sitting directly across from me, his hand resting on the back of his chair, holding a smart electronic clock. The second was pushing the injection, observing my reaction as he did so. The third was squatting by the curtain, prying it open a little and peering out."
"I thought I was in pain for a long time, but when I looked at the digital clock, only three minutes had passed... After three minutes, I no longer felt the pain, but I was still alive and could still hear their voices."
"...I heard them whispering to each other, saying that the new potion was quite effective, and that the guy was dead in less than three minutes. Then the person staring at the window turned around and laughed, saying that he was really good-looking, and wondered how it would be fun to play with him. The person holding the clock sneered and said, what's the point of playing with a dead person? Then, the person who was packing up the medicine box said: It was because he was good-looking that he died so gracefully. After all, Su Liu liked his face. If he was damaged and Su Liu didn't recognize him, how would we proceed with the follow-up?"
"...Then I really appreciate their thoughtfulness." At this point, Su Liu couldn't help but interrupt, "Why? They even want to record a video and send it to me? If they have the courage to shoot it, why don't they have the courage to send it? I didn't receive any video."
"I failed to take the photo because the light in the room broke. I held on for my last breath and hid in the mirror of the electronic clock in the dark. After all, I am a mirror person and cannot be considered a human in the strict sense," said Boss Lou.
"A corpse suddenly disappeared? They must be very panicked and scared to death, right?" Su Liu laughed.
Boss Lou hummed, and quietly tightened his arms around Su Liu, with a smile that successfully "sold the misery" on his face.
He was indeed dying. Not long after hiding in the mirror, he arrived at a shabby hotel and vomited blood in a room. At that time, his heart was full of resentment and anger, but now he feels that he should thank them, otherwise how could he and Su Liu reconcile so quickly.
"They had no choice but to kill the gatekeeper and disguise it as a myocardial infarction. The man was somewhat similar in height and build to me, and besides, a dead person's face wouldn't look very good. If you don't look closely, you can just put on some makeup and barely pass it off." Boss Lou said as he looked at Su Liu, with the "weak green tea" expression he had carefully prepared on his face.
Su Liu sighed. He knew that people like Qi Fengling's cousin were most afraid of seeing a corpse. They probably wouldn't be able to distinguish it carefully. When they found out Qi Fengling was "dead", they would probably rush him to the crematorium for cremation. "Don't you even have someone to protect you? You are a special talent. How come you died without even a splash?"
"I usually have a high fighting capacity and rarely get attacked. That day... I was in a bad mood. Besides, my identity cannot be made public, so it would be better for me to die as an ordinary person," said Boss Lou.
"...Come to think of it, the day before you died, I received an email saying there was a gift for me. If I didn't like it, we could talk about it in person. I thought it was a scam, so I asked my assistant to delete it. It turned out to be a threat?" Su Liu was speechless.
Who threatens people via email these days? That's really old-fashioned.
Boss Lou was at a loss for words when he heard this. "They're divided into two factions, and not all of them want to kill me. After I disappeared, the two remaining people disguised the scene and were about to leave when someone suddenly rushed in and scolded them, asking who gave them permission to do this and whether they were afraid of losing their lives. The two men tried to argue, saying that they were guessing what their superiors meant, as if they wanted to teach Su Liu a lesson for refusing to serve the country. The newcomers were immediately enraged and beat the two men up, saying that they were being used by another cult that only knew how to make money and had no regard for national boundaries. They also called you a killer star and said that anyone who dared to touch you might even have their country destroyed. They told them to fend for themselves and that it would be best if they changed their nationality now..."
After hearing what Boss Lou said, everything connected. Su Liu nodded, "No wonder he was so nervous that day. When he left, he was even afraid that I would stab him in the back. So this is what I meant. If it was really one of their people who did it, I would have done something like that in my rage. What happened next? Where did you run off to? Why did I feel like you were right next to me?"
"I stayed with you for a few days, and then went to the dungeon to renew my life," Boss Lou said. He was not very reassured about leaving Su Liu, so he divided 1% of the fragments and stored them in the system.
"Did you secretly suck my essence? I felt a little weak those days. I heard noises in the room when I slept at night, but when I turned on the light, there was nothing," Su Liu asked.
Boss Lou touched his nose and said with a smile, "The energy around you is very comfortable, very suitable for nourishing the soul."
"Isn't this the magnetic field you mountain spirits and monsters like best?" Su Liu glanced at Boss Lou, "You really know how to pick."
Boss Lou kissed Su Liu.
"Actually, I lied to you last time," Su Liu bit her lip and said, "You asked me if I cried when I was scolded at the age of 22. Actually, I cried. I cried so hard that I almost died... I was a perfectionist at the time. I had an idol image, and it was also the time when I wanted to fall in love the most. I hoped that I would be a good person in the eyes of others. But I didn't expect things to turn out like that. At that time, I saw many people online saying that I was unlucky in marriage and how anyone could want an Omega like me. I was very sad, even sadder than when they locked me up for interrogation at the age of 16. I felt that it was clearly not my fault, so why was I guilty of even fighting back? I was really dissatisfied and very sad."
When Su Liu was sixteen years old, he was frightened by the first time someone was injured in front of him and was detained again. So after he was released, the relevant department found a psychologist for him.
But at the age of twenty-two, he was actually not much better than he was at sixteen.
He was directly depressed at that time.
At first I just didn’t want to eat.
Later I couldn't sleep.
He didn't take it seriously and continued to socialize normally during the day.
And then...
One night, he found that he was unable to sit up in bed. Only then did he realize that he really needed to take some medicine.
Just when he was about to call for help, his mother called.
Su Liu had never shed tears in front of his mother, let alone broken down crying. But that day he was sick and inexplicably felt that unmarried Omegas should die. He didn't know why, so he said to his mother, "I want to die. Life seems meaningless. I can't get married, and no Alpha will marry me."
His mother immediately panicked and seemed to be running towards him, saying all the way: "Don't die, don't die... You can't die... Don't die... You can't die. Do you remember what your grandfather said? You didn't want to come, but someone sent you to be with your mother. You still have a mission to fulfill... You can't die..."
He fell asleep while listening.
When he woke up, there were many people around him, including his parents, friends, and some people he was not very familiar with.
"At that time, I wrapped myself in a quilt and asked them to go out because I was wearing pajamas. I said how could they come in without knocking, and there was even an Alpha..." Su Liu wanted to laugh when he thought of that scene.
His mother wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. As she went out to close the door, she even complained: "What kind of old feudal idiot is this? It's not like he's naked..."
After waking up that day, he suddenly figured out a lot of things, and his illness was inexplicably cured. "What does it matter if those useless things don't like me? I don't want them to like me. Thank you so much for not marrying me."
Boss Lou hesitated and said, "This is strange... Have you been subjected to a magic trick? This is unlike you. You are not that fragile."
"I don't know either. Suddenly, a voice said: Omegas who are not liked by Alphas have no social value and are not worthy of being the most perfect Omega. Maybe it was the word perfect that touched me, and I suddenly wanted to die." Su Liu also felt as if he had been bewitched. It was so strange.
But magic is of the lowest quality, and those who use magic to deal with him are really boring.
