Chapter 29

Chapter 29: South City Villa (7)

Shen Mo’s parents died years ago in a car accident. After her parents died, a distant relative in the family took care of her, but treated her badly, only keeping up a polite front. Because of that, her personality became even more withdrawn, and she rarely left the house.

But she fell in love with a young man. Every day, he worked part-time delivering milk to her home. He was the same age as her, tall and thin, with very pale skin and a small mole at the corner of his eye.

His eyes were amber, a bit lighter than other people’s. He didn’t like to talk much, and his personality was a little quiet and dull. His family situation didn’t seem very good either, and his school uniform was faded from being washed so many times. But it was clean, and it carried a faint scent of soap.

She always watched his back. She remembered that when he carried his backpack, one shoulder would lift slightly, lazy, yet lean and straight.

Shen Mo got up very early on purpose every day, secretly waiting for him to come deliver the milk, but one day, the young man still noticed she was peeking at him.

That day, her face turned so red she wanted to run away. But the young man smiled at her for the first time. Before, she only dared to watch his back, but from that day on, somehow, without even realizing it, she began walking beside him.

Later, he even took her hand.

Their palms were slightly sweaty, but it was two hearts thumping hard.

She thought everything would go in a sweet direction, but she never expected the boy wasn’t from an ordinary family at all. On the contrary, his family was well-off, and he even had a childhood sweetheart who matched him in status.

The childhood sweetheart liked the young man, and because of that, she hated Shen Mo even more. She came to Shen Mo’s home to confront her. In a surge of emotion, she strangled her and staged it as a suicide. Shen Mo’s distant relative took the money and kept silent, and in the end it was handled as a suicide.

So this world was not without mental power. It was just that it had completely merged into the human body, so it couldn’t be sensed at all.

But no one expected that the intense obsession Shen Mo had right before she was killed would instead make all her mental power erupt. It was no longer the real Shen Mo. It was Shen Mo’s consciousness, parasitizing the mental power and gathering into a psychic entity.

“Shen Mo” kept waiting for the young man to come see her again, but ever since she was killed, he never came. It was as if he had completely forgotten Shen Mo.

Jiang Shi Yue said slowly, “You resent that he forgot you, so your hatred makes your evil thoughts grow bigger and bigger. One day, you’ll lose yourself. Every grievance has its source, and every debt has its owner. Shouldn’t you hate the one who killed you more? Do you know her name?”

Shen Mo was silent for a long time, then finally forced those three words out. “Song Li Na!”

Zhao Lan Lan’s mother, Song Li Na.

Jiang Shi Yue’s eyes curved again as she smiled at Shen Mo. “Isn’t it a coincidence? I even met her daughter today. You see her getting away with it – that won’t do. How about we make a deal? I’ll help you get revenge, and you give me your mental power. Look how great that is. I could have directly assimilated your mental power, but not only did I not do that, I’m even going to get revenge for you. Good people like me are rare.”

[A good person? Are you sure?]

Jiang Shi Yue continued in a coaxing tone. She tilted her head and looked her over. “Shen Mo, do you know? Your consciousness being trapped in a psychic entity means you’ll live forever without finding release. Your kind consciousness has already started to be eaten away by evil thoughts, but after you leave, you’ll merge into flowers, grass, and trees, merge into wind, frost, rain, and snow. Then one day, when the energy of life reorganizes itself, you’ll return to this world again with a new face.”
