1. Physics Exorcism
After Lin Qingqing’s death, Lin Xiaotang chose to leave without staying in that world for long.
She returned to the main god space again, and also got the third S grade.
Recalling the various experiences in the previous world, Lin Xiaotang, who has always been calm, felt a sense of loss for the first time in his heart.
After seeing her, the little ball of light in the system still revolved around her.
Instead of twittering congratulations to her, it kept a rare silence.
For some reason, Lin Xiaotang always felt that it seemed to have something to say to herself.
After waiting for a few minutes, the system did speak.
【Host, 】It asked hesitantly, 【Are you happy in the last world? 】
Lin Xiaotang thought for a while, nodded, and said, “I’m quite happy.”
【Then do you like someone to accompany you? 】The system asked again, 【If you have someone to accompany you, will you be less lonely? 】
Lonely?
Lin Xiaotang was slightly startled, and suddenly asked, “Did you choose the last world specifically for me?”
In the past worlds, she replaced the original owner in the middle.
But in the last world, she directly became the “Lin Xiaotang” in the plot and experienced her life completely.
[Yes,] the system said, [I heard the conversation between you and the task object Gu Jing before…]Constantly traveling between worlds, you can only live in other people’s stories forever. This kind of passing life is really too much. lonely.
Perhaps it was Lin Xiaotang’s sentence “I’m walking a path destined to be lonely” that touched the system. When choosing the mission world, it subconsciously chose an identity for Lin Xiaotang that would make her loved and accompanied by others.
“I see.”
After hearing the system’s words, Lin Xiaotang felt a little amused and a little helpless.
“Thank you, but you don’t have to do this,” she said, “I’m not afraid of loneliness, and I’ve never been lonely.”
Having a long life is destined for her to face countless partings.
During her time as a boss in an escape game, she had also gotten used to the people around her.
It may be that she is naturally cold, and she doesn’t feel so uncomfortable about such a life.
Moreover, along the way, every time she passed through a world, she could experience a different life and meet different people.
On the way forward, she was always accompanied by someone.
She was never alone.
“I like these colorful worlds, and you don’t have to indulge me,” Lin Xiaotang said, “just choose the next world.”
[Okay. 】The system said.“What is my mission?”
…
When Lin Xiaotang opened her eyes again, she found that she had appeared in a strange place.
Her surroundings were not the familiar modern environment, but a vast white fog.
The sky was dim, and there were shadows behind the thick fog in the distance, but she couldn’t see their faces.
She lowered her head and found herself wearing a bright red wedding dress.
What is this place?
“The auspicious time has come—”
In a hoarse and sharp call, Lin Xiaotang looked up and found a paper sedan chair not far away.
The people carrying the sedan chairs were thin white paper figures. Their faces were painted with simple facial features, two dark eyes and crooked smiles. They looked indescribably weird.
They carried the sedan chair to Lin Xiaotang and grabbed her.
In the sound of gongs and drums, she was carried outside a desolate old house by them.
In the ancient house, a man whose face could not be seen appeared at the gate.
He was also wearing a red wedding dress, which seemed to be the groom of the wedding.
After seeing Lin Xiaotang, he strode over, grabbed her hand and pulled it in.
His hands were very cold, without the slightest temperature, his skin was pale and stiff, with a hint of indescribable coldness.
“Who are you?” Lin Xiaotang asked.
She had already recognized that the groom was not a real person, but a ghost who had long since died.
The man pulled her, and when he found that he couldn’t pull her, he let go.
Looking at the beautiful young bride and her dark round eyes, he cracked his mouth and said with a smile, “I am your groom, you are my bride, we are going to marry you today.”
Lin Xiaotang Nodding his head, he suddenly said, “That’s it.”
It turned out that this ghost was going to marry her.
“Don’t linger, go in quickly, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are still waiting for you inside.”
Seeing Lin Xiaotang, who was struggling frantically and reluctantly a few days ago, suddenly became docile, and the man was extremely satisfied.
He stretched out his hand, ready to continue dragging her into the house.
…then, he was taken aback by Lin Xiaotang.
…
On the other side, in a ward of Huaihai City Hospital, lay a pale, slender and weak girl.
She fell asleep, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and her beautiful face showed a look of pain and fear, as if she had seen something quite terrifying in her dream.
Outside the ward, the girl’s family members were full of worries.
Their voices came intermittently through the door.
“It’s been a whole day, and the doctor still hasn’t figured out what’s going on…”
“Why haven’t you woken up yet? Could it be that you’re really afflicted with evil?”
“Are you going to beg that woman, but, but we just had offended her a few days ago…”
Thinking of Xiaotang’s fiance Xiao Chen and that woman coming to break off the marriage, Mother Lin felt uncomfortable.
A year ago, after consulting both parties, Lin Xiaotang, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and Xiao Chen, the eldest young master of the Xiao family, made a marriage contract.
In the end, it had only been so long, Xiao Chen, who had vowed to marry Lin Xiaotang, was fascinated by a woman who appeared out of nowhere!
What was even more unacceptable was that the woman also claimed to be a master of metaphysics.
After coming to Lin’s house, the woman said that the feng shui of Lin’s house was not good, that their house was too yin and qi was too heavy to attract ghosts.
In the eyes of the science-loving Lin family, masters, Taoists, Feng Shui masters, and the like are all liars who are deceived.
And this woman’s words are obviously cursing them!
In order to fight for her daughter, Lin’s mother said a lot of cold words when she broke off the marriage.
Who would have expected that just the day after the Lin Xiao family broke up their engagement, their daughter had an accident.
From that day on, Lin Xiaotang began to have frequent nightmares.
Every time she woke up from the dream, she would cry and make trouble, saying that she had a dream that a dead person wanted to marry her.
The Lin family didn’t take Lin Xiaotang’s words seriously at first.
They just thought she was having a nightmare and was frightened by the content of the dream.
But as time passed, Lin Xiaotang’s mental condition became worse and worse.
She became thinner and thinner, and people became more and more silent.
And a day ago, she suddenly fell asleep.
No matter what method Lin’s parents and Lin’s mother use, there is no way to wake her up from her coma.
When they took her to the hospital, doctors couldn’t detect her symptoms.
Judging from the test results, Lin Xiaotang didn’t have any illness, just fell asleep.
After being lethargic for a day like this, Lin Xiaotang’s physical condition weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin’s father and Lin’s mother also finally realized that their daughter might not be sick, but an evil spirit.
But, among all the people they knew, there was only that one woman who knew some magical things and knew how to exorcise evil spirits…
“Forget it, let’s wait and see.”
Finally, Father Lin sighed heavily. Said: “If Xiaotang still can’t wake up, go find that person.”
What is the face or something, how can it compare to the life of her daughter?
As long as they can save their daughter, they are willing to pay any price.
Hearing what her husband said, Mother Lin had no choice but to nod and agree: “Okay.”
After taking one last look at her daughter, Father Lin turned and left the hospital.
And after they left, the pale girl who was lying on the hospital bed suddenly opened her eyes.
She moved her weak body and sat up from the bed with difficulty.
Looking around, the girl’s deep black eyes flashed a daze.
She just…was dreaming?
Just now, facing the ghost of the bridegroom who kept saying that he was going to marry him, Lin Xiaotang didn’t even think about it, and immediately solved the ghost.
After that, she felt an invisible attraction, pulling her to fly outside.
And when she opened her eyes again, she appeared here.
She woke up.
After testing the surroundings and confirming that this is the real real world, Lin Xiaotang felt relieved.
She mobilized the energy in her body and began to mend her weak body.
At the same time, she also closed her eyes and reviewed the plot of this world.
In her opinion, the plot this time is still an ordinary love story between male and female protagonists.
But unlike other worlds, in this world, there are metaphysics that cannot be explained by science, and there are also various ghostly events.
The heroine of this world is called Shen Shu.
Shen Shu’s ancestor used to be a famous Feng Shui master during the Republic of China period.
In order to prevent these exquisite Taoisms from being lost, the Shen family passed down the techniques of feng shui from generation to generation.
Shen Shu inherited the family business and naturally became a Feng Shui master.
However, with the continuous development of science, many metaphysics have been labeled as “feudal superstition”, and most young people scoff at it.
In addition, there are too many liars in the feng shui industry, and their reputation is ruined.
Therefore, Shen Shu’s path as a Feng Shui master was not smooth at first.
But fortunately, soon, because of a coincidence, she rescued Xiao Chen, the eldest son of the Xiao family, from Li Gui.
And Xiao Chen is the hero of this world.
Seeing Shen Shu’s superb ghost hunting technique, Xiao Chen had no doubts about Shen Shu’s ability.
And Shen Shu’s cold temper, which was different from other women, also attracted his attention.
Under Xiao Chen’s recommendation, Shen Shu entered the upper class and solved problems for many wealthy businessmen and political families.
As time passed, Shen Shu’s reputation became louder and louder, and the charges also rose.
At the same time, the relationship between Shen Shu and Xiao Chen became more and more intimate.
They both developed a crush on each other and confessed their feelings to each other.
After overcoming many difficulties, the male and female protagonists who love each other successfully entered the palace of marriage.
With the efforts of Shen Shu, the Xiao family also met more top people in the upper class, and raised the status of the entire family a lot.
The only problem is that before meeting Shen Shu, Xiao Chen had a fiancée.
And this fiancee is Lin Xiaotang’s identity in this world, Lin Xiaotang, the eldest young lady of the Lin family.
As a villain in the plot, the original owner’s fate is naturally not much better.
Because of her ignorance and ignorance, her parents insisted on believing in science and did not believe in the metaphysical ability of the heroine Shen Shu, so they missed the best time to save their daughter, and her daughter died in the hospital for no apparent reason.
The behavior of Lin’s father and Lin’s mother has also become a negative teaching material in the upper class circle, and has been ridiculed by countless people.
Lin Xiaotang: “…”
She, who had just crossed over from the world of science, was a little speechless in the face of this kind of plot.
In any case, after family members are sick, normal people will not think about finding Taoist monks to exorcise evil spirits…
But, are there ghosts in this world?
Recalling what happened in the dream just now, Lin Xiaotang’s eyes flashed with interest.
As a boss of a horror game, she has not been to such a place full of horror and supernatural power for a long time.
This world really suits her too much.
Cathe # I’m not sure whether to translate the title as “Metaphysics” or just like now.
