At this moment, the only sound in the room was my rapid breathing. I rubbed my stunned head, not knowing whether I was in a dream or reality. After being in a trance for a long time, I gave myself a hard pinch.

I grinned. It was a good thing that it was just a dream. That scene just now was really unforgettable.

I touch the wet clothes on my chest and shake my head, preparing to take a shower. However, as soon as I lift my leg to take a shower, I suddenly freeze on the spot.

There was a puddle of foul vomit on the floor. I didn't have time to care about the smell it gave off in the hot, humid room, as I leaned on the bed and stared at it. The sickening color of my stomach made me shiver, and my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

If it was just a dream, then who was the one who vomited on the ground?

Why were reality and dreams so similar?

Countless questions burst forth in my head, and my eyes were filled with a splitting headache.

I really don't understand what kind of situation I'm in right now.

I forcefully endured my shock and took a deep breath of the turbid air before closing my eyes. I continuously told myself that all of this wasn't real and that I was only having an extremely unimaginable nightmare.

However, when I opened my eyes again, the filth was still there. It had deeply stung my nerves.

I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I ran out of the room with a wail.

The night wind was a little cold, and a thin layer of mist had formed in many places. I rubbed my swollen forehead as I stood by the side of the road for a long time before I finally felt a little better.

The city in the middle of the night had already faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, and it was so quiet that it made me feel warm. Looking at the dim lights in the fog, I couldn't help but think of the same scene I saw before I went to the South Ridge.

I took out my phone and looked at it. 12: 12: 00, what a coincidence. I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Am I really going to be the number 12 in my entire life?

However, when I thought about this, I couldn't help but shiver. One must know that I died once a few days ago at the same time.

Moreover, in my memory, after a few days, something strange seemed to have happened at 12: 12 in the middle of the night.

That face that looked like it had been soaked through, that hand that reeked of blood, that hideous tongue … all of that made my heart go cold again.

I don't think of myself as a timid person, but to be honest, I am a little apprehensive right now, afraid that something bad will happen to me.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and was about to turn around and return to my little hab.

"Pa Da!" "Pata!"

The slow and rhythmic sound of footsteps came from far away, and it was especially clear in the middle of the night.

Even though I was extremely scared, my intense curiosity made me stick my head out to take a look.

He could see a small figure in the mist. It looked like it was a man, but his footsteps were slow and lazy, and from time to time the floor of his feet would scrape against the rough pavement, and his shadow would stretch out in the slanting light of the street lamp, like the tongue of the man from before.

Goosebumps rose all over my body. I withdrew my neck and quickly ran towards the basement. The moment I entered, I couldn't care less about the stench inside the basement. It was as though the door was tightly shut, as if this thin piece of wood could block all enemies.

At this moment, I was completely and utterly a frightened bird. Any slight movement in the wind or grass could cause me to collapse in fear.

Breathing hard, I pressed myself against the door, listening to the shuffling footsteps getting closer and closer and then getting farther and farther away until they were completely gone.

I heaved a long sigh of relief, thinking that I was being a little too bearish!

Helplessly shaking my head, I prepared to clean the room. No matter what, the dark and damp little room was currently my home.

"Duh duh duh!" Suddenly, two sounds rang out and my body tensed up. This sudden knock on the door nearly made me explode. It was the last straw that broke my back.

"Swoosh swoosh."

Two more times.

I held the baseball bat in my hand and walked over to the door. After swallowing my saliva, I asked loudly, "Who is it?"

However, there was no response.

"Swoosh swoosh."

The emotionless voice once again sounded out. I jumped at the door and blocked it, so I decided to just leave it at that.

However, at this moment, a strong force came from behind the door. Caught off guard, I was pushed back and almost fell down. The boss's marble lock unexpectedly didn't have the slightest effect.

"It's him." As he pounced forward, he glanced back. I was unable to recognize his medium physique and his squarish face which was hidden in the shadows.

I had just steadied myself when I swung the baseball bat without any hesitation. The strength behind the swing was so strong that the muscles on my hands felt like they were being electrocuted.

But in a split-second, my baseball bat came to a screeching halt, like a hammer on cotton.

Without thinking, I kicked again.

"It's me!" A familiar voice rang out. It was Yi Yun. Why had he come here in the middle of the night?

"Why is it you?" Upon seeing that it was him, I relaxed and asked snappily.

"It's so hard for you to still be alive." Yi Yun pushed me away as if he had just entered his own home, carefully examining my messy room.

However, after looking around, Yi Yun asked, "What about that thing?"

"What is it? Why didn't you say anything just now? You almost scared me to death." I panted heavily. I really had some resentment in my heart. I turned my head to look at the door that had somehow been unlocked.

Yi Yun ignored me. Finally, he found the namelist I found in the Zheng Family Ancestral Hall on my computer. He sat at the table and studied it for a long time before laughing out loud.

I was confused, so I asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for being able to live under these circumstances. I really don't know if you're lucky or not." Yi Yun had a faint smile on his face, but his tone was tinged with a mocking tone.

"What is this?" Hearing him say that, I thought he recognized what this brown paper was. I reached out to pick it up, but Yi Yun stopped me halfway.

Yi Yun looked at me indifferently as he shook his head, saying in a soft voice, "You can't just casually touch this."

"What do you mean?" It's just a piece of paper, I thought, and I'm being very careful.

Yi Yun didn't answer me. He took out a red piece of cloth from his bosom and slowly extended his hand out. Carefully holding the piece of kraft paper, he said, "This is not some ordinary piece of paper. There's something inside."

Yi Yun's expression was gentle as he said this, but his tone was filled with caution.

"I didn't think that there would be a missing part of the Zheng Family's Soul Sealing Book. You actually found it!" Yi Yun's expression changed as he spoke. He suddenly clasped his hands together and yelled, "Why aren't you revealing yourself yet?"

As Yi Yun's voice fell, his palm began to emit a green smoke. However, this green smoke didn't dissipate, as if it was wrapped up by an invisible hand.

Five or six minutes later, the green smoke finally took shape and took the form of a human.

The humanoid's body was swollen, and he had a stooped, soft, and spasmodic appearance. If this wasn't the disgusting thing that I saw before, then what was it?

I was stunned. No matter how hard I tried, I never expected that the items I brought with me would contain such a thing.

"Hand it over!" As soon as the object was formed, it extended its hand towards Yi Yun, its voice hoarse and terrifying.

Yi Yun didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he turned his head to look at me and said, "Understood?"

I secretly gulped. Although I wouldn't admit it no matter how hard I tried, I had to admit that I really did the stupidest thing in the world.

Yi Yun ignored my awkwardness and turned around to look at the strange object. "Your soul has been sealed for so long, and you've already lost all consciousness. Although your Zheng Family deserves this punishment, the heavens deserve it. I'll do some good deeds to send you away."

With that, Yi Yun took out a handful of red ropes and casually threw them inside.

"In the previous life, karma would be repeated, and crimes could be done to dispel it. Doyle's karma was clear, and the world would be opened up!"

Yi Yun's voice was deep and low. He put his hands together and formed a strange seal with his ten fingers. The moment he finished speaking, the red rope began to emit waves of light. The thing inside quickly became blurry under the light's illumination.
