Chapter 62

~8 min read 1,420 words

Now there are two roads in front of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe.

One is to directly abandon Bai Zhi and run away. The person driving the ghost wants to kill Bai Zhi and the survivors of the Bishuiwan Manor incident; Ning Zhe himself is not in his eyes. With the ability of the Supreme One, he can completely blend into the crowd, hide in the city, and disappear from now on.

The second is to find a way to confront this person, preferably being able to kill him, so as to solve the hidden danger once and for all. After all, that person's purpose is not killing itself; what he really wants is Zhao You. When he kills all the survivors of the Bishuiwan Manor incident and still doesn't get Zhao You, then Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, as a suspicious person who has been in contact with Bai Zhi and Feng Yushu for a long time, will naturally be suspected and chased by him. His grandparents will also be implicated.

The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light. A person who can drive multiple ghosts including Te Rang has been staring at him covetously. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's remaining life will not be peaceful.

So the thing to do next is very simple...

"Either you die, or I die." From this moment on, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe decided to have a life-and-death confrontation with the person hiding in the shadows.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's personality is cautious and decisive. Once a decision is made, there will be no more hesitation or delay. His thoughts calmed down, his mouth opened slightly, and he called out silently: "Nianjun?"

The next moment, a bright red figure appeared before his eyes.

He Nianjun's face still had no eyes, ears, nose, or other features, only her bright red cherry lips pursed slightly. Her pale, bloodless hands reached into her chest and took out the old yellow calendar from her arms.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lowered his head and glanced at his phone. The current time:

June 07, 2018, 02:37 AM, 24th day of the 4th lunar month.

A new day had already arrived; it was time to turn the calendar to a new page.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe came before He Nianjun, raised his hand to turn over a page of withered yellow paper. After yesterday's calendar was turned up, it was gently pinched by her slender, soft index finger and did not fall off.

【29th day of the 6th lunar month】

【Suitable: Killing, Sacrificing, Bathing, Praying, Acquiring Wealth,】

【Taboo: Breaking Ground, Moving, Taking Office, Starting a Fire, Felling Trees, Marriage】

"Mm, the taboos that are relatively easy to violate today are mainly starting a fire and felling trees. The suitable things are... wait." Suddenly, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's pupils dilated sharply, his gaze locked firmly on the yellow calendar in He Nianjun's hand, confirming the date on it again:

— 【29th day of the 6th lunar month】

"June?" A confused mood climbed into Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's chest cavity.

He pulled out the old yellow calendar page he had just turned over from between He Nianjun's fingers and re-checked yesterday's fortune: 【23rd day of the 4th lunar month】

【Suitable: Marriage, Breaking Ground, Planting, Placing Clothes, Acquiring Wealth】

【Taboo: Drinking, Starting a Fire, Felling Trees, Building Embankments, Building Houses】

Yesterday was the 23rd of the 4th month, today it became the 29th of the 6th month. Time jumped? "Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, what's wrong with you?" Bai Zhi sat on the sofa and looked at him curiously, not quite understanding why Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was gesturing at the air and looking shocked.

"I need to know the current time..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe whispered.

"Time?" Bai Zhi blinked, found her leather small wallet and phone from the skirt that had been crumpled into a ball and placed beside the sofa.

Unlocking the screen to look, today is: June 07, 2018, 24th day of the 4th lunar month.

"No, not the time on your phone, but the time of 'this place'." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shook his head and walked toward the door.

"The time of this place?" Bai Zhi frowned: "Are you saying we time-traveled?" "Perhaps worse than that." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe squatted down beside the gas station boss's corpse and fished an old-fashioned button smart phone from his trouser pocket. The large-scale mobile phone replacement wave in China appeared around 2013, and the smart phone user population increased rapidly with this as a turning point, soon becoming widely popularized. And the gas station boss still carried an old-fashioned button phone. Does this indicate that the time point they are in now is around 2014? Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe unlocked the button phone's screen, and sure enough, the time of 'this place' is: 【July 25, 2014, 29th day of the 6th lunar month, 02:38 AM】

"This is 4 years ago." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put down the gas station boss's phone and confirmed this point again from the electronic equipment on the other employees.

Bai Zhi found the paper calendar placed on the tea table cabinet, on which five horses were galloping. 2014 is the Year of the Horse.

At this moment, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe thought of many things.

He thought of himself staying in He Family Village for two full days, but when returning to reality, he jumped directly back to the moment he pushed open his own door two days ago.

He thought that when he was in Gubei Town, the message Bai Zhi sent to Feng Yushu showed 'read', but only received a reply at the gas station.

"Yes... that's right, she received the reply only after 'sunset'." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe grasped this key point keenly.

【When the sun sets】, the ghost that is everywhere and cannot be looked at directly begins to exert influence.

The ghost branded all people exposed outdoors with the 'must kill Bai Zhi' thought steel seal.

The ghost also dragged them back to 2014, 4 years ago.

"Are these two things done by the same ghost? Or is it that the person chasing us is actually manipulating two ghosts simultaneously, and only achieved the current effect through the cooperation of two kinds of rules?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was very confused, but he couldn't determine it at all.

Perhaps 'time travel' and 'thought steel seal' are two completely different kinds of rules.

Or perhaps these two phenomena are different manifestations of the same rule—just like Taiyi.

People who don't know the inside story easily mistake Taiyi's rules for two abilities: 'mind reading' and 'substitute death', but in reality, both are just different manifestations of the rule of 'stealing identity'.

One doubt after another rose in the fog, but the clues Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe held were pitifully few.

This is a ghost driven by humans, a hundred times more terrifying than a simple ghost.

"Can't find any clues at all, and don't know where to break the situation... but there is one thing that as long as you do it, the probability of it not being wrong is high." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took a deep breath and turned to look at Bai Zhi sitting on the sofa: "Do you have money?"

"Eh?" Bai Zhi looked at him in confusion: "Do you want money?"

"Yes, give me your money." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded.

Bai Zhi listened in a daze, but still obediently opened her leather small wallet, took out several bank cards and some cash from it, and handed them all to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe: "All given to you, but can you tell me why you want to do this?"

"It's suitable to acquire wealth today; get some money for yourself, and your luck will get better. Bathing or praying is also fine, but there doesn't seem to be any Buddha statue or anything nearby that can be used for praying."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe accepted Bai Zhi's cash, returned the bank cards to her, and then said:

"I'll go search for some more money on the corpses outside. You also rummage around in the house; is there any cash register or something? If there is, put the money inside into your own pocket."

"Also, remember, don't move earth or start a fire today. Don't destroy trees or other plants, and don't get married, otherwise you will be unlucky."

"Oh..." Bai Zhi nodded half-believingly, thinking that it's impossible for me to get married today anyway.
