Jian Wei sneered, "Do you really think that box is that easy to open? Take a look at what you're holding in your hand, right?" Only then did I realize that the small box in my hand had disappeared. Not only was the small box gone, the big box on the ground had also returned to its original state.
Heavens, what was going on? I couldn't figure it out.
Jian Wei replied, "This box has an illusion spell. The lock opening technique you used with Liu Miao was just an illusion. In my opinion, all of you have been opening the box while facing the air. In reality, the box is still the same."
I then realized that I had not been able to do anything after a long period of busy work. Thus, I sat down and smiled wryly, "I was tricked by a box. Why didn't you remind me earlier and let my busy work be in vain?"
"If I wake you up early, it will only be the opposite. It might cause you serious injuries and cause you to lose your life. Therefore, I can only wait for you to complete all the steps before I tell you the truth."
I stared at the big box and thought, "I was just thinking, it shouldn't be so easy. How could such a complex box open so many locks on its own by a locksmith?" "It looks like this item will take some time to open."
Seeing that I was worried about the box, Jian Wei advised, "You don't have to worry too much. After all, this is a magical item that attracts attention. It's not that easy for you to see through it."
I said worriedly, "I'm not talking about that. This thing takes up too much space. Especially in the living room, it always makes people's hair stand on end. Even if it were a different place, it would still be fine."
Jian Wei suggested, "Don't we have a warehouse that can store things? You can go rent one."
I shook my head. "There's one like that. It's just that the rent is too expensive. I can't afford it. Even if I can afford it, I won't be able to move this box by myself."
Jian Wei replied, "That's easy. You can find a moving company and have them help you move the boxes and save them in the warehouse. This will save you time and allow you to focus on other things."
I bitterly smiled. "Didn't I already say that I'm just a poor student? How could I have the money to pay the rent for the storehouse?"
Jian Wei laughed. "Money is not a problem. Don't forget that I came back from the future. We'll buy the lottery tickets now. Maybe we'll be able to win the lottery."
I replied in surprise, "That's right! You can tell me the number of the lottery ticket. That way, I'll be able to immediately make a fortune." "But can you still remember the number of the lottery winners from long ago?"
Jian Wei nodded. "No problem. The good thing about ghosts is that they can remember everything. Back then, my father was very fond of lottery tickets and would turn the stage to watch live broadcast every time they opened. I can still remember the numbers."
I jumped three feet into the air and shouted, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Quickly tell me the number that won the lottery today. I'll go buy it immediately!"
After the broadcast of the lottery, I slumped onto the sofa and grumbled, "Didn't you say that you were very accurate? Why didn't you match all of the numbers? You wasted a lot of my money. I used double the money."
"Maybe it's because the timeline has changed, so the lottery numbers are different than before. I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to help you but I didn't expect you to suffer."
"Can you still guess the number of the lottery winners from now on?" I still wouldn't give up.
Jian Wei shook her head. "That won't do. Since the timeline has changed, it means that the numbers of the lottery tickets are different from before. This road is basically blocked."
How could it not make me depressed? I even had the urge to go out and drink some wine, but I was stopped by Jenne, who said to me, "A man should not always keep his head down. There will be many difficulties and disappointments in the future. You can't be this weak all the time, can you?"
"Who's weak? I just had the thought of making a fortune, but it was shattered before I could do anything. Just let me slow down. I'm still feeling uncomfortable right now."
Jian Wei burst into laughter. "You really are a greedy person. Previously, I said that I didn't value money. Money is dirt, so why are you being so concerned about it now?"
I quibbled, "No one doesn't value money. After all, this thing is something that everyone can walk on. No matter what they do, it's very difficult to get rid of it. How can I not value it?"
Jian Wei sighed. "I knew you would quibble. Forget it, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. There is no hope of making a lot of money now, but we can't be discouraged. We can think of a good plan at the very least."
I bitterly smiled. "What good idea do you have? Tell me. If it's useful, I'll immediately execute it."
Jian Wei replied, "Alright, my suggestion is for you to have a good night's sleep and recover your energy before going for an outing. Remember, don't get lost. The place you're going to is very dangerous. As your wife, I'm very worried about your safety."
I opened the bag that Wang Da Chuan had given me. Inside was a pile of unknown items, but when Jian Wei saw the compass, she couldn't help but step back in fear. "Wang Da Chuan gave you this?"
"That's right. Master told me that if I were to meet with a situation like the Wall-Hitting Ghost, I should take out this compass and it would definitely turn into a disaster." I explained.
However, Jian Wei seemed to be very afraid of this compass. From time to time, she would step back and say, "Can you put it away? I'm afraid I'll see it."
I stuffed all of the rotten stuff on the compass into my travel bag. "I'll put it away properly. You can come over."
Only then did Jian Wei relax and get closer to me. She stared at me and said, "If one day I suddenly disappear, what will you do?"
I curiously asked, "What do you mean? Why did you suddenly say such strange words?"
"I always have a premonition that I might be in danger. Even if that's the case, I hope you won't forget me."
My heart sank as I comforted her, "Don't think like that. Weren't you always very optimistic? Why did you suddenly become so worried? I'm not used to it. "
Jian Wei sighed, "You might not know this, but after seeing those things you took out from Wang Da Chuan, I feel like I'm in danger step by step as a ghost. I can be exterminated at any time by people with the ability to exorcise ghosts."
"Aiya, you're thinking too much. You're just following me around like this. If you don't run around or move around, of course you'll be fine. How could someone be so bored as to hurt you?"
"That's hard to say, I've already said it before, some people drive ghosts not for money, nor for personal reasons, they just want to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang, such people have only one rule in their heart, and that is that there is a difference between humans and ghosts. As long as they see the ghost spirits existing in the Yang World, they will try their best to eliminate them, and if one day I meet with a misfortune like this, I hope you won't be too sad, at least you still have a living Jian Wei to pursue."
