C248 (1/2)

I slowly walked to the front of the Bridge of Helplessness. I tried my best to ignore my uncle and aunt, who were still throwing ghosts around mechanically, and shouted towards the bridge, ”Su Chen, come out.”

After a while, Su Chen's figure slowly condensed into form on the Bridge of Helplessness.

Su Chen slowly walked down from the bridge. He looked at me, but there was so much emotion in his eyes that I couldn't understand what he meant. He didn't speak to me, but brushed past me and walked over to Song Nan and March.

”I'm sorry, I didn't handle this properly. I made things difficult for you.”

I thought that Su Chen's words were directed towards March Rain. I didn't expect that Song Nan would be the one to reply.

”It doesn't matter,” said Song Nan. ”You've already done very well.”

What was going on? So, Su Chen was Song Nan's man? That was why Su Chen couldn't go near my house. It wasn't because he had some sort of relationship with the Ghost King, nor was he a third party that participated, but because he was on Song Nan's side?

Song Nan then asked Su Chen, ”Is there no other way?” I think he was asking about my uncle and aunt, but I was beginning to panic.

Su Chen shook his head, ”There's nothing I can do. Not to mention that their bodies have already been destroyed, even if they were resurrected, the sins that they had unintentionally committed would still be done by themselves and their children. ”

”Sin? ”What sin?” I know life is sinful, but what can they do? Had he reached the point of unforgivable sin?

”Placenta.” ”Selling the placenta is nothing,” Su Mu reminded me. ”But there is a ghost baby in the placenta, which is a matter of evil spirits. Even if they were cheated, the money they earned would go into their pockets, so the debt goes to them.”

I looked at my uncle and aunt, who were still throwing ghosts around. Su Mu continued to say, ”If they hadn't become servants, they would have been thrown off the bridge and wouldn't have been able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.”

According to what Su Mu said, being able to become a ghost was already something to rejoice about?! But, who am I going to bring home to be Su Yi's parents? How can I tell my dad what happened?

At this moment, March Rain happily smiled and said, ”You're still the same person I thought you were! I've told you before that there are no true emotions in the world, either false feelings or fleeting moments. Why don't you understand? ”

This time, I really couldn't hold it in.

Clenching my fists, I charged towards March Rain. Song Nan reacted quickly and hugged me, quickly saying to Su Mu and Su Chen: ”Let's go!”

The Ghost King took out a fan from nowhere and proudly waved it around, coldly saying, ”You want to leave? Do you think that you can come and go as you please? ”

”Then if you have the ability, don't let him enter as he pleases. Leave as he pleases!” After Song Nan said that, he hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear, ”Be good and close your eyes.”

I looked at the Ghost King's face, which was about to explode from anger. Then I looked at March's unfathomable face, then at my uncle and aunt. Slowly, I closed my eyes and buried my face in Song Nan's shoulder.

By the time Song Nan opened my eyes, I was back at my uncle's house. I looked at the clock on the wall. It was a little past four in the morning and it hadn't been painted very long, but it felt as if a century had passed.

Su Chen had now completely changed. He was standing there, and if it wasn't for me knowing where he was, he wouldn't even exist like the air.
