Suddenly, Ye Zhizhou’s cell phone rang. After a few short words, he hung up and looked at Cen Yuebai. “It was the police. They said Luo Tao’s body has been dug up.”
Cen Yuebai nodded and pushed the door open to walk in. After saying a few words, he came back out and tore the red paper talisman in his hand. “It’s almost time to start.”
Inside the room, Yuan Chang’s rationality had completely snapped when he learned that Luo Tao’s corpse was found. Suddenly, he rushed to Xia Xiang and grabbed her neck. “You killed Xiao Tao, I'll kill you!”
“Let… go… ” Xia Xiang struggled and kicked as she choked out, “If you strangle me… you… will never know what… Luo Tao said before he died…”
Yuan Chang’s pupils shrank and as if he had been stabbed, he quickly released her. His hands went up to grab her shoulders and he shook her desperately. “What did Xiao Tao say? Tell me, what did he say!”
Xia Xiang was shaken to the point where she felt faint. She sneered. “He said—”
“I said I don’t want to meet you in the next life, and I regret knowing you in this life.”
A strange male voice interrupted their conversation. Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang were shocked and turned their heads to look at the sickbed where the voice came from.
Fan Lang stiffly sat up from the bed. He glanced at them with a cold and hateful smile. “Five years? Or was it six years? I spent every day and night under the cold ground looking forward to the day when I could return to the human world. It’s really great ah… Really nice to see you guys so soon. I guess that loathsome Taoist priest that wants to kill me still had some kindness.”
Yuan Chang stared at him and got up to walk a few steps forward. He asked while trembling, “Xiao Tao? You… are you Xiao Tao? You really… really came back? Ghosts actually exist in this world?”
Xia Xiang cried out in shock and ran to the door of the room.
“Yuan Chang.” Fan Lang looked at him with a smile and stretched out his hand toward him. “Chang Chang, you said that you would be with me forever as long as I woke up, was that true?”
“Yes, of course.” Yuan Chang stumbled over to hold his hand and raised his hand to stroke his eyes. “Xiao Tao, I’ve been thinking about you every day these years, but I didn’t dare to go find you… I didn’t know that Xia Xiang killed you. I’m sorry. You can blame me. I’m sorry. ”
“It doesn’t matter.” Fan Lang gently touched Yuan Chang's face and slowly got closer to him. “Of course, we will be together forever, never separating again."
Xia Xiang, who was currently twisting the door handle, jolted and then tightened her grip.
Outside the door, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu once again cut their fingers and pressed it on the paper talisman. They started to replay day-to-day memories in their heads.
Ye Zhizhou anxiously paid close attention to the situation inside and unconsciously tapped at the small mirror in his pocket.
Tongtian didn't like being disturbed and a light screen popped up [ Asking Host to please calm down. ]
Ye Zhizhou continued to tap the mirror. This big drama of a ghost and human's unfulfilled feelings was still going on, how could he calm down!
Inside the room, Fan Lang's movement towards Yuan Chang suddenly stopped and his expression twisted for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He glanced at Xia Xiang from the corner of his eye, and then lowered his head to kiss Yuan Chang’s forehead. His voice became more gentle. “Chang Chang, I love you.”
Yuan Chang’s eyes became red-rimmed. He put his arms around Fan Lang and kissed his ears and neck. He couldn’t help saying, “I know, I know, I love you, too. I have always loved you.”
Xia Xiang slowly loosened her hand on the door handle, straightened up and reached into her pocket.
Fan Lang’s eyes had a dark glint. He lowered his head to also kiss Yuan Chang’s neck while reaching back and hugging him with an intimate and ambiguous attitude. “If you’re with me, then what about your wife and children?”
“I only want you. Just you." Yuan Chang became even more excited and hugged him harder. “I regret it. I shouldn’t have separated from you back then. I love you.”
Xia Xiang turned around and looked at them coldly. Suddenly, she took out another switchblade from her pocket and rushed towards them. “Bastards! I want your lives!”
Yuan Chang heard this and wanted to turn around to stop her, but Fan Lang suddenly tightened his hug, making it impossible for him to move. “Xiao Tao, let go of me. Xia Xiang, she’s gone crazy. You…”
The smile on Fan Lang’s face grew larger, and his gaze was fixed on Xia Xiang’s rapidly approaching switchblade. He happily said, “Didn't you say you would be with me forever? That loathsome Taoist priest outside is trying to find a way to kill me. Every way leads to death. Why don’t you accompany me down, en?”
The switchblade stabbed straight at Yuan Chang’s back, but when it was at a distance of about ten centimeters, it was blocked by an invisible barrier. There was a loud sound of metal clinking, and the tip of the switchblade broke.
“How’s this possible…” Xia Xiang’s crazed expression froze and Fan Lang’s gleeful expression from his revenge succeeding disappeared. Yuan Chang, who was trapped in Fan Lang’s arms, hurriedly pushed him away while he was distracted. “Xiao Tao, you actually want me to die… No, you're not Xiao Tao, you're not! He wouldn't do that to me!”
Now!
Cen Yuebai’s gaze sharpened. He quickly moved the copper coin hanging on the door, and then pulled out a simple dagger, stabbing it into the eye of the soul dividing array. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, who were currently recalling their easy and carefree days, let out a groan. Their faces turned pale and their foreheads began to release cold sweat.
Ye Zhizhou’s heart rate rose, and his spiritual power in the room became alert.
Fan Lang, who had been pushed away, suddenly grabbed his head and screamed. His facial expression began to change rapidly, and he was spewing out disjointed and unclear sentences. “Where is this? Who are you guys… Yuan Chang, you can’t get rid of me. I want you to go to hell with me… Ah, my head hurts, doctor! Doctor!”
A burst of cold wind suddenly blew by and Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang’s bodies uncontrollably stiffened and began to shiver. Fan Lang, who was holding his head and mumbling, rolled his eyes back and fell to the ground. It was obviously afternoon time when the sunlight was perfect, but the light in the room suddenly became darker. After the burst of cold wind, which could make a person’s teeth ache, a hoarse voice rang out, “Yuan Chang, Xia Xiang, come down to hell with me, together…”
Xia Xiang screamed and directly fainted.
Yuan Chang looked at the room ceiling in horror, and his voice became strange due to fear. “Xiao… Xiao Tao… Be rest assured that I'll avenge you. Y-you can go on in peace…"
There was another burst of cold wind, the hoarse voice disappeared, the temperature in the room gradually picked up, and the light became brighter.
“Xiao… Xiao Tao?” Yuan Chang probingly called out but didn't get a response. The fear on his face turned into anxiety and he shouted, “Xiao Tao? Xiao Tao, don’t go… Xiao Tao!”
Outside of the room, Cen Yuebai pulled out the dagger and nodded toward Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou let out a sigh of relief. Then, he fed Anshen pills to Zhang Lin and Cao, who had collapsed on the ground, wiped their sweat and sat down on the bench outside of the room. It’s finally done… No, why hasn’t the love probability for Yuan Wei and Yuan Yao decreased?
Yin Feiyu pushed the room door open and went in to check. He came out and said, “They all fainted and Fan Lang’s soul is back to what it used to look like. There are no problems."
Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou scratched his head in doubt. Luo Tao’s soul has been separated from Fan Lang’s body and destroyed. But why haven't the soul flags been pulled out? Strange.
Half an hour later, the police rushed over and took Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang away. With the evidence of their fraudulent practices that Ye Zhizhou found with his spiritual power, their names will never be cleared.
After Cen Yuebai finished packing up his things, he saw that Ye Zhizhou was still sitting on the bench with his face wrinkled. He went to touch his forehead and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”
“Yuebai.” He looked up and asked seriously, “If, and I mean if… After Luo Tao’s soul merging failed this time, is there still a possibility of him merging into another person's body?"
“That's impossible. Soul merging harms the soul. There won't be a second chance with another body." Cen Yuebai sat beside him and brought Ye Zhizhou into his arms, patting him on the shoulder comfortingly. “Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you think that Luo Tao hasn’t disappeared?”
“…Maybe I’m just thinking too much.” He turned off the system information, still feeling a bit unsure in his heart. The two remaining soul flags were motionless, so he still felt that something was wrong.
“It's impossible for the souls to be in harmony.” Cen Yuebai seemed to think of something and said, “Some of the more vicious and obsessive souls can temporarily live in someone else’s body. If that living person doesn’t try to expel them, they can coexist, but this situation is very rare. Even if the two souls do manage to coexist, both of their chances for reincarnation will be gone.”
Ye Zhizhou was shocked at hearing this and was just about to say something when a system prompt suddenly popped up. [The probability of Yuan Wei, Yuan Yao and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fifth and sixth soul flags have been pulled out again. Congratulations to the host. The task of this world has been accomplished. Does Host wish to enter the next world? ]
Seeing that Ye Zhizhou’s body stiffened, Cen Yuebai hurriedly lowered his head to look at him. “What’s wrong? Do you suspect that Luo Tao hid in Yuan Chang or Xia Xiang’s body?”
“It's nothing.” Ye Zhizhou relaxed his body, selected ‘No’ in his heart and shook his head. “I was overthinking things… Let’s go, I’m hungry. Let’s go get dinner.” In the original plot, Luo Tao’s soul wasn’t powerful. It took more than 20 years to successfully merge souls with Fan Lang. He shouldn’t be so powerful to be able to escape and hide again… If he really did hide in Yuan Chang or Xia Xiang’s body, then it’s fine to let them continue their dogfight.
In the police car, the listless Yuan Chang suddenly moved, looking up at the car's rearview mirror with a sinister smile on his lips.
“Yuan Chang, you said it. We’ll stay together forever. Don't even think of getting rid of me.”
