C294 what's in the box

Time passed bit by bit, and soon, it was almost half past three. My heart began to beat faster.

Then I heard the wind outside, rattling the doors and windows as if someone were beating on them.

I grit my teeth and look out the window, but I can't see anything. At the same time, I was also a little puzzled: Mr. Zhao's words were so lively. They were both a substitute and a trap, why did the other party find me so quickly?

Suddenly, the wind stopped again. As if that thing had given up, the surroundings returned to silence.

I had just breathed a sigh of relief when I heard a beep, beep, beep. It was the alarm clock. It was three-thirty.

I quickly picked up the phone and turned off the alarm.

At this moment, I don't know which key I pressed, but I actually turned on the camera. The front camera shone right on my face, startling me in the middle of the night.

I screwed up. Fortunately, nothing happened. Now, time has passed and I am still alive. This night has been quite a thrilling one.

At the same time, I heard the voices of Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin. I looked out of the window and saw that they were restoring the trap in the courtyard.

I asked the Mr. Zhao, "Are you alright?"

Mr. Zhao said, "Don't worry, we've caught that guy. Hehe, I thought it was some powerful character, but in reality, he's just a coward. "Oh right, don't come out now, in case you step into the trap. You should stay in the house for a while, I'll call you later."

I sat back down on the bed.

I turned to look at the box beside the pillow and thought, "Looks like I don't need this anymore."

Back then, when Coffin King gave me the box, he said it was extremely magical, saying that if the person who killed me arrived, the thing inside the box would fly out and kill that person. Sounds like a chat house.

And he told me never to open the box before my birthday.

I was tempted to see what was inside, but the desire to survive overcame my curiosity and I didn't look at it. The person who wanted to kill me has already been captured. Can I finally take a look?

Just as I was about to open the box, I suddenly heard Mr. Zhao shout, "Be careful, you have caught a substitute."

When I heard this, my soul almost flew out of my body. If the person caught was a substitute, then who was the main culprit?

I casually placed the box beside me and held my dagger as I vigilantly looked at Inside the house.

Seems like the person who wants to kill me isn't brainless, he knows how to use a substitute to test Mr. Zhao. He and Xia Xin should have been more or less dismantled by the trap just now, even if it didn't, it should have been exposed, right? This was bad.

At this moment, with a muffled bang, the door was pushed open. A dark shadow rushed in.

Without thinking, I stabbed the dagger towards that person. That person cried out in alarm before turning around to flee. I heard that voice, it's actually from the Mr. Zhao.

I immediately understood, it was probably because Mr. Zhao was worried that I was in danger and wanted to enter the house to look for me.

I am sorry to ask if Mr. Zhao is injured. But I actually heard Mr. Zhao shouting in the courtyard, "Eldest Nephew, your vigilance isn't bad. You can't trust anyone tonight. Close the door."

I smiled bitterly. "So, where is that thing?"

Mr. Zhao said, "I still don't know. The only thing I'm sure of is that he has already come."

The Mr. Zhao was fighting with someone, while fighting with them, he was also instructing Xia Xin, "Guard the door, don't let anyone enter the room for the ninth day. This is the second double. "

I heard Xia Xin agree, and then a figure appeared outside the door.

Just as I was anxiously waiting, I suddenly heard a very soft sound coming from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the box had been opened.

I looked at the box in shock. Suddenly, a white light shot out from it and flew towards me like lightning.

I panicked, "Could it be that the person who killed me has already entered the house? Right next to me? So, the box has some sort of reaction, and it wants to kill that person? "

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and then it was replaced by another thought: Why do I feel like this white light is coming for me?

Completely out of reflex, I raised my dagger and with a crisp clank, my dagger struck another weapon.

Immediately, fear welled up in me. If I hadn't raised my dagger in time, half of my head would have already been chopped off by the white light.

The white light disappeared, and the Inside the house became extremely quiet. But I'm pretty sure it's still there. It's just hidden.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the back of my neck. I jerked my head down and felt something fly along my scalp. I touched my neck.

I took two steps to the side and stood in a corner. In that case, if the other party wants to harm me, I can only attack from the front.

My eyes widened, and I could see nothing. So I simply closed my eyes. Closing my eyes, my perception of the world became even clearer.

To the right, to my right, there seems to be someone. He was holding a long knife and approached me quietly.

Now is the time. I must seize the opportunity. I suddenly shouted. The voice startled the man, and I took advantage of his moment of stupor to leap forward and strike him on the wrist with my dagger.

Dingdang! The man's wrist broke. The long blade fell to the ground, and his figure could no longer be hidden.

When I looked at his face, I was stunned. This man was Coffin King.

Coffin King saw that I was a little dazed and immediately grabbed onto the opportunity, wanting to pick up the blade on the ground and give it another try. But this time I reacted quickly. I placed the dagger against his neck and said, "Don't move."

Coffin King did not move.

I looked and saw that he had only a soul and no body.

I asked him, "You're dead?"

Coffin King was silent for a moment, then said: "Yes, I committed suicide three days ago."

I looked at him in shock. "Why?"

I thought that at the age of Coffin King, there would inevitably be someone with a headache. He might have died from illness, who knows if he committed suicide or not.

I asked Coffin King why, he chuckled and said to me, "To kill you."

I even suspected that he was playing with me: "To kill me, you committed suicide first? What kind of logic is that? "

But Coffin King had his own reason. He quietly said, "I'm already old, it's very difficult for an old man to kill you. But it would be much easier to kill you after you've become a ghost. "

I asked the Coffin King: "We have never seen each other before, do we have any deep grudges?"

The Coffin King said, "We do not have any hatred between us, but a few lives ago, we were once good friends. "Hmm …" Even now. "

I faintly said, "Since we are good friends, why must you kill me? You even committed suicide to kill me. Are you a killer? How much do they pay you? Do you use the money of the living or the money of the dead? "

When I said this, I was clearly mocking Coffin King, but he wasn't angry. He was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't want to kill you either. You begged me to kill you."

I feel like I'm going crazy. How can there be such a shameless person in the world? How could he say those words so brazenly?

Coffin King saw that my face was filled with disbelief, he pointed at the box and said, "Look, there is evidence inside."

I took a step back and picked up the box with my dagger. With a "pa" sound, the box was opened, and a small bottle rolled out from within.

Puzzled, I asked the Coffin King, "This is the evidence?"

Coffin King nodded: "Open it, there is evidence inside."

I kicked the bottle in front of him. "Open it."

Coffin King did not reject, he bent down and picked up the bottle, and casually opened it. Then a cloud of white gas came out of the bottle.

When I saw this ball of white gas, my heart sank. 'Could this thing be poisonous gas?'

I immediately covered my mouth and nose, but it was useless. The white air quickly entered my body, but Coffin King was fine.

I felt dizzy and dizzy. I could barely hold my dagger.

Coffin King stood to the side and looked at me with an expression that said, "Friend, this thing only works on the body. You'll understand when you become a ghost. "

I wanted to let my soul out of my body, but I couldn't do it. I closed my eyes.

Who knew that after I closed my eyes, my consciousness would become much clearer. I hurriedly opened my eyes and realised that I was locked in a small space.

There were planks on all sides, and I couldn't get out. It looked like a box, or a coffin.

Then I heard a voice outside saying, "Friend, this is a remnant of my soul. I gave it to you as evidence that I left it behind."

The voice was very similar to mine, but it was not exactly the same. When I heard it, I only felt that it was exceptionally familiar.

Then came the voice of the Coffin King. "Why must I kill you?"

The voice sighed and said, "Because someone is chasing me? Those people are very powerful. As long as you know who I am, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, it will be useless. "

"I can only avoid them by reincarnating. But no matter how careful I was, hiding until I was twenty-four, I would still be discovered. So if you find out about my reincarnation, you must kill me before my twenty-fourth birthday and let me reincarnate. "

Coffin King said in a deep voice: "Is there any difference between being killed by me and being killed by them?"

The voice said, "It's very different. If I am killed by you, I still have a chance to reincarnate. As long as my physical body dies and the clues are cut off, it won't be that easy for them to find me. If I get killed by them, my soul would be shattered and I would never be able to appear in this mortal world again. "
