Book 2: Chapter 8

Did Black Glasses believe in things like chumaxian? No.

As he spoke with the sorceress's daughter, he looked at her eyes and was almost certain that she was messing with him. But he could tell that there was something wrong with her.

When Black Glasses was leaving the school, he met a little girl who looked to be in the second grade. She appeared to be standing in the hallway as some kind of punishment.

He thought about what the chumaxian had said just now. It seemed to be implying that there was something out there that wasnt a ghost. And in order for that thing to go back to a certain place, it needed that ritual to act as a bridge.

Ghost wasnt a strong term. In fact, ghost could refer to the consciousness after death, or any consciousness from an unknown origin. But the fact that the chumaxian had emphasized that it wasnt a ghost was rather odd. The daughter of this sorceress was lying, but what purpose did she have in telling this story?

Black Glasses was different from me. Unless I had a very strong hunch, I usually felt as if I had made a mistake most of the time, and there was a fifty-fifty chance that the other party didn't lie to me.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

I also felt that I would rather have that thing be a ghost. I was the type who believed that my friends and relatives received my thoughts every year during the Qingming Festival. But people like Black Glasses, who were sure that the other party was lying to them, could hardly make mistakes. When he taught me, he also talked about these kinds of skills. As long as people lived to a certain age, they would see through lies.

"The cameras were very clear," Xiao Hua continued. Black Glasses always felt that this case was man-made. Although he didnt know why it felt like a feng shui array, there had to be a conspiracy behind it. And this conspiracy didnt have anything to do with ghosts or gods.

But the surveillance cameras were so clear that there was no reasonable explanation for how someone on the rooftop suddenly burned like that. Moreover, the high temperature was instantaneous. The person was carbonized within a quarter of a second, which was something that only lightning could do.

And based on the camera angle, when the sorceress's daughter went up to the rooftop, her mouth kept moving as if she were talking to something. Her expression even seemed a little confused and panicked. From the camera screen, it almost looked like the chumaxian made her go to the roof. Black Glasses still thought that the sorceress's daughter was lying, but she ended up dying just like that. For a brief moment, he had a faint doubt that he had misjudged things.

Black Glasses carefully looked at the recording of the sorceress's daughter on the rooftop. Based on the movements of her mouth, the Northeastern dialect was quite clear. He looked at her lips very carefully and found that one of the sentences she was saying was: "If what you say is true, will going to that place really alleviate all regrets?"

TN Notes:

(1) Per Tiffany: When it comes to overcoming calamity, people have to suffer in order to gain special abilities and become immortals, so gaining special abilities is their main goal. Its like how you need to defeat monsters before you can level up in a video game.
