The Spirit World

Chapter 628 The Eve of the Rain
The rain began to fall slowly again, just like every time when something sad is about to happen, it will fall quietly, like a woman shedding tears, dripping, weeping in the dust, mostly with tears in her eyes.

"Huh... I'm so sleepy..." Chen Lin stretched his hand out from the cabbage fluff and stretched his body. The cabbage fluff was long and soft, serving as a big pillow, so comfortable that one could not move his neck. The fluff embraced the hot body temperature of the cabbage, making Chen Lin want to just sleep soundly and not think about anything else in the cold night.

"I always feel... someone is crying..." Chen Lin came out from the embrace of cabbages and looked at the window of Building 202, Charles Street with bitterness. The wind gently blew the green leaves of the apple tree, making a rustling sound.

It looks like a crisp wind chime...

rustling...

rustling...

The fallen leaves blown by the wind are yellow and green, like the traces of the mottled years. The autumn leaves make people feel sad, which seems to be the consensus of everyone in the world. Most of those who feel sad about autumn are really suffering. There are always so many people who complain without any reason...

A fallen leaf fell from the top of the ancient apple tree, it was so beautiful, the new green and the withered yellow intertwined, like a yellow and green gorgeous light falling, and then falling into the puddle.

The puddle was also flat, and where water accumulated it formed a puddle.

"No... no one is crying..."

Bai Cai retracted his Dharma body, landed on the ground and turned into a fluffy white kitten, circling around Chen Lin.

"There seems to be a sink here... go wash up... it's probably noon now... do you want to eat something?" Bai Cai said, jumping onto Chen Lin's shoulder.

Chen Lin didn't seem happy. She pouted her lips and looked at the apple tree next to her with a bitter face. Many of the new green leaves were blown down by the wind. She seemed to feel sad too: "But I heard... someone crying... and it was a child..."

"Child?" Bai Cai didn't quite understand what he said, so he could only guess that it was a supernatural event: "Are you dreaming... or what? Is this house a haunted house?"

"Dream?" Chen Lin turned around and glanced at Bai Cai, then slowly turned around and ran quickly up the stairs: "It feels like a dream..."

She stepped on the stairs of 202 Charles Street, jumping up three steps at a time, as if this would make her feel less bad: "It may be a dream, but it shouldn't be a dream..."

She walked up the stairs and looked at the bloodstains on them. She was stunned for a moment, and her frown seemed unable to be lifted: "It seems that there has been a fierce battle here..."

"That should be a haunted house, no doubt..."

Bai Cai moved closer to the elongated bloodstain and sniffed it, and the little cat's eyebrows began to blink.

It was like an overreaction, the blood made Bai Cai feel nauseous, but in fact, the bloodstain did not seem to have any bad smell at all, it was just blood red, which was so dazzling.

"The enemies we may face are hundreds of times more terrifying than this kind of dirty and smelly blood... Aren't you afraid?" Bai Cai looked at Chen Lin sadly, and yelled at the wall with heartache.

This roar, like a wave of sound, slowly broke the blood stains on the wall, and then a layer of wall skin slowly peeled off, and there was no longer red blood sticking to the wall...

"What are you doing?"

"I'm afraid you'll be scared when you see blood..."

"But I'm not afraid at all..."

"I think so too...but at least this blood is disgusting, I don't want to smell it again..." Bai Cai twitched the corners of his mouth, and happily climbed onto Chen Lin's head, lay down, and squeezed his head into Chen Lin's hair, as if he was covering his own cup.

"I'm not afraid of blood at all...really...it's just blood...I'm educated, I mean, I'm not afraid of the blood of my enemy's enemy...I'm only afraid of seeing the blood of others...because that makes me very uneasy...and then makes me feel incompetent..."

"Ah... So Huang Yi chose you with the magic stone..."

Bai Cai sighed...

"More people may die in the future..."

Chen Lin said this slowly, like a heavy stone: "We were challenged yesterday... There will be more people... Maybe innocent people... injured or killed..."

"There are no innocent people in this world..." Bai Cai interrupted Chen Lin.

This time it was Chen Lin's turn to not understand.

"why?"

Chen Lin slowly pushed open the door of a room, which turned out to be a bathroom. A large dressing mirror reflected a long beam of light under the light that was not turned off.

Chen Lin slowly approached the mirror. There were scattered water stains on the sink, mixed with a faint red pool. That should also be blood...

"Because, whether you are a kind person like you, an evil person, or a person who stands silently in the middle, you will all be crushed in the tide of the times. Only a very small number of people can be truly neutral. So everyone must have a clear position, either resist or surrender..."

"I don't understand what you are saying at all..." Chen Lin looked at herself in the mirror. Her obviously thin face seemed to show her youthful years which could not be concealed at all.

She showed her teeth, grinning sadly. Her white teeth were so neat and even. Her mood was as gloomy as a huge bell that could not be struck no matter how hard the wind blew.

She could only sigh dully, clench her teeth, close her thin lips, and show her teeth. Is she about to smile?

But she just couldn't smile... She felt sad, as if she was hit by someone...

Her hands were not slender, and in the mirror, in the broken lens, there was only a little phantom left...

There was a bright red light emerging in the mirror. It seemed like the skirt of a red dress, fluttering gently and bringing a faint fragrance.

That fluttering dress was bright red... so bright that it made people sad...

Perhaps that red dress is just pure blood, nothing more...

"Those who defend their homeland...will never admit defeat..." Chen Lin watched the gorgeous clothes in the mirror drift away, just like a kite, drifting away in the sky in the mirror...

That is... a kind of gorgeous clothes dyed with red blood... The gorgeous clothes are like clouds, like dreams.

"I think so..."

"It will definitely be..."

Chen Lin fell silent, and turned on the tap with his hand. The water element spell transformed by the spiritual power hub slowly flowed out clear liquid...

"We have been challenged by others..." Chen Lin sighed sadly again, stood up straight, and straightened her white dress.

"Bai Cai, is there a knight order in the spirit world... How powerful are they?"

"Ah... the Knights, magicians, sorcerers, and even people with all kinds of strange powers should be there..." Bai Cai jumped into the pool next to him, as if he was asked, slowly put his cat paws into the water, and patted his big cat face.

"How can I gather them together?"

"money……"

Bai Cai frowned, tilted his head, and touched his face.

"anything else?"

"Gold coins, diamonds?"

"anything else?"

"Good equipment? Magic cores of Warcraft? Or inscriptions?"

"anything else?"

Chen Lin looked at her hands, grabbed a handful of water, and splashed it on her face, which was considered a clean face wash.

"And...what? Hobbies?"

Bai Cai had no idea what Chen Lin was thinking.

"If I want them to work for me, will three thousand palace coins be enough?"

"what are you saying?"

Chen Lin rubbed her face and slowly tied her hair up.

"what?"

"I don't understand you at all..." This is the third time they have said this...

Although they didn't seem to understand what they were saying... Even if the other party said it again, they wouldn't understand...

"I say, can the things in the Three Thousand Palaces make them follow me and fight for their lives..."

Chen Lin rolled up her sleeves and twisted her neck heavily. The bones in her neck made a crackling sound, and loosening her muscles felt like she was pulling a rope.

“If it’s… going with you to earn commissions, dig for gems, and get diamonds, I think I can…” Bai Cai sat by the pool and glanced at Chen Lin’s face.

The water stains on Chen Lin's face were flowing down gently, like crystal tears.

"The things in the Three Thousand Palaces are much better than normal stuff... They took the treasures of the Three Thousand Palaces, so there is no way they would work for you. If they came for the financial report of the Three Thousand Palaces... Why didn't you say you would work for them earlier... Even if you gave them any thing, I would probably help you... But working for them... It's impossible..."

"What can make them work for me..."

Chen Lin gritted his teeth, took down the longbow behind him, pulled the bow to its full length, aimed at himself in the mirror, and shot an arrow.

"No... Money can't buy absolute loyalty... Come for money, and leave for money... Only naive people will believe in money..." Bai Cai looked at Chen Lin's chin, which was light and slightly bulging. Chen Lin, who was gritting his teeth, was like a copper lock, tightly holding his nerves...

Bai Cai had never seen Chen Lin so serious before.

She felt a little weird... Slowly, hesitantly, she jumped onto Chen Lin's shoulder. The fragrance emanating from Chen Lin became stronger and stronger. It was a wonderful smell...

The plum blossoms are in full bloom, bitter and cold but with a strong fragrance.

"What if it's faith..."

"What faith?"

"Stick to the faith of peace."

"For the public?"

"For the public good."

"For the public?"

"For the public!"

"no……"

Bai Cai shook her head slowly, perhaps she herself felt something was wrong, and the shaking cat head began to shake heavily again...

"No... the time has not come yet... preparing for a rainy day is just wishful thinking."

"No?" Chen Lin hammered the pool, and the ripples in the pool vibrated layer by layer, breaking her reflection in the water.

The reflection was so bright, the red blood dyed Chen Lin's white dress red, and then slowly vibrated and turned into red circles in layers of ripples.

The red circles were peeled off layer by layer, like blood flowing in the cycle of reincarnation...

It could not stop flowing... Then it slowly stopped, like a river, like the sea, burying her...

"I heard someone crying..."

she said.

"That should be my crying..."

She answered.

"My name is Chang Yufeng, nice to meet you..."

Her eyes were like dazzling stars, shining and illuminating her face.

"My name is Chen Lin... I'm nice to meet you too..." She smiled, a faint smile, her pale lips were lightly red.

She wanted to ask...

But she put her hand to her lips and tapped them gently.

"My dear, you are very beautiful..."

As she spoke, she moved her hand away, slowly stroked it from the side of her forehead down her hair, gently placed it on her face, and pinched it.

Her fair face was pinched and pulled up, but it was just a very light touch and then it was released. The slender big hand gently stroked her cheek.

Very quietly, she stared at her face.

"You are beautiful... darling..."

She listened and trembled, as if all the blood in her body was flowing backwards. Blood slowly flowed down her red dress. Thick, thick blood dripped down to her feet, accumulating into mud...

Her dress gradually turned whiter, and her hands began to tremble, slowly sliding down her cheeks...

Her body was like being struck by an electric current, whistling... With a trembling voice, she laughed...

"Ah... your name is Chang Yufeng... my dear..."

She smiled, tears slowly falling from her eyes, as if they had never happened before. The warmth of her hands slowly spread to her skin, slowly touching her heart...

That hand seemed to touch her heart...

So gently, her long hair slowly shortened, her eyebrows began to widen, her palms began to become slender, her red dress slowly turned black, her bones were growing, her eyes slowly turned black, her pupils were as bright as the moon, her black hair was also like a touch of the dark night...

"You are so beautiful..." The tall and thin man made her stand on tiptoe and look into his eyes quietly.

His eyes are so sincere and dazzling...

Perhaps, she shouldn't have any emotion, she should stand on tiptoe to look at him... to hug him, to throw herself into his arms...

She stood there quietly, feeling the warmth of that hand...

That slender hand, pure white in the bright light, was swept away layer by layer in the clear flowing water...

There is no life... no reality...

She tried to grab the hand, but it turned into clear water... She grabbed a pool of clear water... and then there was no trace of it...

I love you……

Can you hear me?
She was about to say it, but she choked up. She didn't seem to understand why she was thinking this way and why she wanted to say this so strongly...

But she still couldn't say it... because the person who wanted to say this to him was not here...

"Girl...are you listening to me?"

Bai Cai looked at the silent Chen Lin...

"Someone will be there to accompany me...to accompany me through fire and water..."

Chen Lin said this out of the blue.

"What? Who? Me? Of course!"

The cabbage hung its tail happily.

"Well, it's great to have you..."

"Of course."
