Chapter 138 Revenge for Me
On the first night of staying at the General's Mansion, Shen Wangshu suffered from insomnia as expected.
The familiar smell of the soothing incense was trying to work, but she was always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, half asleep but not fully awake either.
Shen Wangshu felt as if her consciousness was being pulled by something. Another weak soul appeared and disappeared sadly and unwillingly. The dragon horn that had been dim for a long time was as bright as a small golden sun, locking her consciousness tightly in this body.
This silent tug of war lasted for an unknown amount of time. Shen Wangshu only felt his whole body suddenly relax, the pulling feeling disappeared, and he finally fell asleep completely.
And I had a long-lost dream.
In the dream, a thin and beautiful woman who looked exactly like her - no, or rather, who looked exactly like her current body - was standing in the yard, softly begging her to come out and see her.
Shen Wangshu subconsciously knew that this was the soul of the original owner, and he couldn't help but feel creepy... How is this different from encountering a ghost?
But when he thought about it carefully, without this body, he would just be a wandering ghost from another world. Since this was a dream, their fighting power was even equal - he was even stronger than the original owner, so she couldn't kill him after all, right?
Shen Wangshu mustered up the courage and went to the yard.
Without the golden light of the dragon horn, the original owner's condition seemed much better. She looked the same as Shen Wangshu's body when he first came through, thin and pale, and under the moonlight, she looked like she would disappear in the next second.
Seeing this otherworldly soul, the original owner said dimly, "That thing is so overbearing. Every time I want to come out and talk to you, I am always suppressed."
The "thing" she was talking about was the dragon horn. Shen Wangshu thought about it and realized that after getting the dragon horn, he hadn't had a nightmare for a long time, nor had he seen the original owner of this body.
She originally thought that the original owner's consciousness had dissipated and been reincarnated, but now she realized that she had not left yet, but just couldn't get out.
"Are you looking for me tonight because you have arrived in the capital?" Shen Wangshu asked her.
The original owner nodded: "How can I calm down when I revisit the old place... I do have something important to ask of you, so I asked you to come out and see me. If you can accomplish this, I will be willing to leave this body and let it belong to you completely."
Shen Wangshu didn't know where the original owner usually hid in this body, but it wouldn't do to have nightmares like this when she was here, so she replied, "What do you want?"
"Now that we have arrived in the capital, I want you to avenge me and our Shen family." The original owner spoke these words word for word. The obsession that kept her from leaving was the blood feud on the night of the house raiding. Only after completing this task could she leave with peace of mind.
"My sister is in Beijing now. I don't know her situation, but I believe you have the power and means to fight against those people. Can you avenge me?" The young woman's voice was full of tears, pleading and hope: "I know you have come to where you are now step by step on your own, but I only have this one request. I will never be at peace if I don't avenge my great hatred. I can't leave if I can't let go of the past..."
"I know this is my fate, and I don't want to disturb you and the general, but I, I..."
As she spoke, she began to sob softly, which made Shen Wangshu at a loss: "You, don't cry, I didn't refuse you. Even if you don't say it, I will help you get revenge."
Everything else is easy to say, but she really can't help but see a girl crying. Besides, she has taken possession of her body after all, so it is her duty to fulfill her long-cherished wish.
"Really? Thank you..." No matter what, the original owner was just a seventeen-year-old girl. She did not disappear immediately after her death. The only person who could speak to her was this soul from another world. Sharing the same body made her subconsciously rely on and close to Shen Wangshu.
"You don't know the forces in Beijing, and the details of what happened in my family, so I will tell you everything, and you must listen carefully." After wiping away her tears, the original owner sat under the flower tree and carefully communicated with Shen Wangshu about the information.
Shen Wangshu almost didn't sleep all night. He was forced by the original owner to receive various information. When his soul returned to his body the next day, he opened his eyes to meet the worried gazes of Mei Xue Wutong and others, as well as his senior brother Zhang Dai who was standing beside his bed.
"......" She sat up and yawned. Her body had been lying down all night, but her soul had been moving all the time. She felt more tired after sleeping than without sleeping. "What are you doing?"
Wutong said with concern: "Today, Meixue and I came to your room to wake you up, but we couldn't wake you up no matter what we did. We tried everything, so we had to ask Doctor Zhang to come."
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why can't you wake up for no reason?"
Ever since the great plague was resolved, Zhang Dai was hired by Duke Rong to be a private doctor at his mansion at a large salary. Since there were few people in the general's mansion, he came with Shen Wangshu and usually lived in the guest wing.
At this moment, her senior brother stared at her seriously: "I just felt your pulse and looked at your pupils, and I felt something was weird, like..." It was like a living dead person lying on the couch, except for breathing, there was nothing else, weird and strange.
Only the body is here, and the two souls have run away. How can it not be weird?
Of course Shen Wangshu knew the reason, but he couldn't say it in front of so many people, otherwise it would be too shocking, so he had to explain vaguely: "It's the sequelae of..."
Zhang Dai, who had the same experience, understood the omitted word immediately, but he still felt very strange: "How could it be so? I have been here for so long, and I don't have the same symptoms as you!"
"Maybe it's because I have more roles than you... Well, it's a long story. Anyway, don't worry, it should be fine. I'm awake now, right?" Shen Wangshu winked at her senior brother, meaning that she would tell him in detail next time when no one was around.
The latter received the signal and said nothing more, but silently prescribed her a prescription with a larger dosage of tranquilizer.
Shen Wangshu also recognized these herbs and glanced at them: “…It’s not necessary.”
Dragon horns can calm the mind, incense can calm the mind, and taking medicine can also calm the mind. The original owner couldn't get out in the first place, so it will be even more difficult for him to find himself in the future.
"Although I don't know what happened, I think everyone's fate is already determined. We should just accept it and no one should think about causing trouble." Zhang Dai said lightly.
Since the cannon fodder female supporting character in the original novel died early, then all her fateful encounters in the future would have nothing to do with her. If she dared to think of snatching the body from his junior sister and turning her into a half-human, half-ghost... then he, Zhang Dai, would be the first to disagree.
What the original owner's female supporting role? Take a dose of soothing injection and go to sleep quietly.
