"Ah... it's out again."
Under the night sky,
Above the quiet small town, a sigh of helplessness echoed.
Coupled with the cold wind blowing through the air, it carried an indescribable sense of desolation.
The woman floated in the air, her beautiful young face adorned with a bitter smile.
Her name was Lin Ruoyi.
Daughter of the richest man, the heiress of the Lin Group, she had started her own company at the age of sixteen.
Enviable by many, she was called the 'National Girlfriend'.
But only Lin Ruoyi herself knew the true state of her body.
Due to her soul frequently leaving her body, her lifespan was constantly being compressed.
Moreover, each time her soul departed,
It was accompanied by certain risks.
After her family learned of these matters, their expectations for her were not high.
They only wished for her happiness.
The reason she started a game company at sixteen was not to inherit the family business in the future.
It was entirely because she herself wanted to try, to realize more possibilities.
Within her limited lifespan, she wanted to fill her life as much as possible.
The last time she encountered the streamer Jiang Lin,
He had also said,
If the situation continued, she might not live past thirty.
"This day has finally come."
Lin Ruoyi covered her face, wanting to cry, but unable to.
Why should she cry?
For her, her family had worked so hard.
They spared no effort or resources, searching for every possible solution for her.
Allowing her to live until now.
'One more soul departure, and death will await you. Therefore, you must be careful!'
That was what the master they had invited had said.
Lin Ruoyi had been trying to avoid it.
But as a human, how could she not sleep?
...
After a brief emotional breakdown,
Lin Ruoyi took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and quickly composed herself.
Regardless, everything had already happened.
There was no use in dwelling on it.
Fortunately, she had already written her will...
After this, she would just wait for the ghost messenger to come and pick her up.
However, before that,
Where was this place?
Lin Ruoyi looked around blankly.
A dark night, a quiet small town.
The cold wind was whistling.
Only the dim yellow streetlights flickered by the roadside, giving off a strange, eerie feeling.
Lin Ruoyi didn't know what happened when others' souls left their bodies,
But every time her soul departed, she had little to no memory of it.
Perhaps she had come out in a daze.
Anyway, by the time she regained consciousness and awareness,
Her soul had already drifted somewhere unknown.
Each time, she had to find her way back herself.
If it was close, it was fine, but if it was far, it was quite troublesome.
However, meeting the streamer twice because of this,
Could be considered fortunate amidst misfortune.
...
Lin Ruoyi floated, moving towards a street sign below.
The street sign was made in a unique style, crafted from wood.
It was nailed diagonally to a wooden post.
It read: [Confectionery Street]
At this moment,
She also noticed that the surrounding buildings were somewhat different from what she usually saw.
The stone bricks were exposed on the exterior, and the tallest buildings were only two stories high.
This seemed to be the style of this place.
"Abroad?"
Just as Lin Ruoyi was about to search for more clues.
A 'thud' sound came from a house nearby.
It sounded like someone getting up in the middle of the night without turning on the lights and accidentally bumping into a table corner.
A moment later,
A small, orange light turned on inside the house.
As the only lit house in the night,
Lin Ruoyi instinctively wanted to go closer and see. If there was someone, the night wouldn't be so scary.
Her soul moved, flying towards that small house.
She hovered by the window,
And saw an old woman with white hair slowly picking up a sewing box.
She walked towards the table by the window.
On the table, an old, worn-out coat was placed.
Suddenly, the old woman's steps paused.
She raised her head, her gaze slowly moving upwards.
It landed on the old glass window.
"?!"
Lin Ruoyi's heart leaped in shock.
She saw me?
No, I'm a soul now. She couldn't possibly see me.
Just as Lin Ruoyi was reassuring herself,
Inside the small house,
The old woman looked at the glass window, her lips curving upwards.
In the dim yellow light, that smile appeared extremely eerie.
Their eyes met.
Before Lin Ruoyi could react,
The next second, the inside of the house lit up with a bright white light.
It was so blinding that she had to close her eyes.
The surroundings seemed to become lively.
The sound of people walking on the ground, the conversations between shopkeepers and customers.
The sound of children laughing and running around.
Among them, a piece of music was particularly familiar.
"we wish you a
The Underworld.
Recently, the owners of several pet beasts discovered that
Their little pets were always moving things out?
Moving things was one thing,
But why were they moving out weapons?
And the glazed lamps, what were they carrying out?
"What new tricks are they up to?"
When they had free time, the owners of several pet beasts gathered.
Complaining about their pets' strange behavior these past few days.
"You guys are lucky. My foolish child,"
"Even tried to smash a chip off my newly bought ghost artifact and carry the chip out!
It made me so angry!"
"Jiang Wuchang, where's your mecha ball? Has it been secretly moving things out?"
After chatting for a while, a few ghosts remembered that Jiang Lin hadn't said anything today?
Jiang Lin came back to his senses,
He picked up two peanuts from the table and said:
"No. The mecha ball hasn't come back much lately."
On the other hand, Xu Nan was cultivating diligently.
Xiao Hua's owner tutted and asserted, "They must be up to something new."
001 Marmot's owner was leisurely, like Jiang Lin, eating peanuts.
"It's fine. In a few days, when they're done, we'll know."
When pet beasts caused trouble, their owners, who were sometimes bored to death,
Would inevitably follow their pets to see where they were going.
The little guys thought their secret base was well hidden, unaware that it had long been discovered.
However,
Even though they knew where the little guys were going, they didn't know what they were secretly doing.
"Your mecha ball seems to be researching something new," said the Fire Fox owner.
Jiang Lin thought of the allowance he had received earlier and replied, "Mm."
"It likes to modify itself."
The other ghosts also nodded in agreement with this statement.
Speaking of which, this function was indeed quite good.
The previous maid appearance was also quite pleasing to the eye.
"Wait a minute," 001 Marmot's owner suddenly turned to look at Jiang Lin,
His imagination running wild, "The mecha ball shouldn't have modified my pet too, right?"
Jiang Lin glanced at him, "How would it modify?"
The mecha ball could be modified because it was originally a mechanical body.
001 Marmot: "I don't know... anything is possible."
Jiang Lin: "..."
This ghost was simply too idle.
Worrying for nothing.
After eating peanuts for a while,
Jiang Lin clapped his hands and stood up.
"I'm leaving."
Behind him, a group of bored ghosts asked:
"Leaving already? Did you take a mission today?"
"Mm."
It was about time.
Although he couldn't fuse all divine power and ghost energy at once,
He still had to do the daily drift bottle missions.
One wisp of divine power per day to increase his strength.
He could also see more of No. 1's memory fragments, knowing more things.
Besides that,
There was also the mission to 'become an excellent first-class ghost messenger'.
