Monday.
The weekend had been really tough. Although it had already been a Monday, and although I still didn't understand what was going on, I still had to go to work. No matter what the Alliance Master or whatever magic spell he was, he couldn't help me pay my monthly rent.
When she got out of the subway and walked downstairs, she found that the lobby of the building was filled with people. She finally squeezed in and found her colleague Xiao Liu in the crowd.
"Liu, what's going on? Why are you all blocking the road?”
Confused, I quickly grabbed Xiao Liu to ask for an explanation.
"Sister Xuan, the elevator is broken. Some time ago, someone repaired it, but the property management didn't care. Now, it's completely broken. Now, everyone is stuck here. Those with lower floors have climbed up. Basically, those who are stuck here are all from the 10th floor and above.”
The elevator was broken? Why did this scene feel so familiar? Seemed like?
Wasn't this what Fatty said at the party that day? Your building's elevators always broke down, and the property management didn't care. Finally, one day, they stopped operating!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the property manager and two people in gray uniforms squeeze into the crowd. They seemed to be workers repairing the elevator. They had been busy for a long time and even talked into the walkie-talkie for a long time. They were too far away, so he could not hear what they were saying clearly. It felt like a group of people were busy talking. It did not seem as simple as repairing the elevator.
The entire repair process lasted about 20 minutes. Most people couldn't wait to go to work and had already taken the elevator or climbed the stairs. Xiao Liu also wanted to pull me to the elevator, but when I saw the long queue at the entrance of the elevator, I shook my head.
"Let's wait for this."
Xiao Liu didn't wait with me. He went to the elevator to line up. Of course, I had my own plans. Everything that was familiar in front of me seemed to have a premonition. What was going to happen next was the scene in the picture that I received on WeChat that night. I would see the maintenance worker shout and carry out a decomposed corpse. It was the missing man, Wang Xuelin.
Five minutes later, everything happened just as I had expected. First, there was the cry of the workers. Then, there was really a corpse being carried out. Everyone at the scene cried out in surprise. Of course, there were also some brave people who took out their phones to take photos. The property manager hurriedly took out his phone to call the police. The lobby was in a mess. Looking at the highly decomposed corpse being carried up, I subconsciously looked at my clothes. Yes, the clothes I was wearing were the clothes I had seen in the photo that day. That's right. Now, they were replaying the scene in the photos. Since the photos in the future would prove that all of this had happened a long time ago, today should be the reappearance of the scene. Then, then!
At this moment, I no longer had the fear I had at the beginning. I quickly scanned my surroundings. I was looking for the person who took the photo. According to my position in the photo and where I was standing now, I roughly confirmed the approximate position of the person who took the photo. It was you!
Ah Wei, you were the one who took the photos, right? You manipulated everything, right?
When I? Just as I naively thought that I was going to reveal all these secrets, the person in the distance made me continue to sink into fear. I roughly deduced that the person who took the photos wasn't Ah Wei, but a man who looked very similar to the dead person. He calmly watched everything and slowly retreated. He was holding a phone in his hand. Had he already taken the photos?
Who was he?
Wang Xuefeng!
He should be the corpse, the brother of the man called Wang Xuelin. Yes, that's right. Only two brothers would have such a similar appearance. The way he looked at the corpse was exactly the same as the man on the missing person notice that night!
At this moment, I couldn't accept it anymore and called Ah Wei. I wanted to know why all of this was happening.
Du du du--
The call was picked up very quickly. The other party's voice was very calm.
"I'll wait for you at the cafe in the building opposite your company.”
Looks like you already expected me to look for you, annoying fellow!
I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran across the road and arrived at the coffee shop on the basement floor of the luxury building opposite. Ah Wei seemed to be already sitting inside, so I sat opposite him.
"I'm listening. Explain!"
" I've told you before. They are the dark signers. They signed a contract with evil and sold something of themselves in exchange for a goal they wanted to achieve. Wang Xuelin, a 40-year-old male loser who has no money, car, or house. He has been despised by countless blind dates and has nowhere to vent the depression in his heart. He wants to be respected and get everything that is materialistic and vanity. He got it and paid what he should.”
"What did he get? You have to pay with your life!"
I refuted agitatedly. I couldn't believe it, much less accept this so-called explanation.
"You're wrong. His life is worthless. What he paid for was his soul. Evil extracted his soul to replenish his own ability. The soul of the contractor was the evil energy, so Evil constantly searched for people who wanted to sign a contract with him in the world. This was simply too simple.，No one could resist their own evil thoughts. Human greed allowed evil to grow stronger!”
"I saw his brother. That person is his brother!”
"That's right. That person is Wang Xuefeng. He's also a contractor.”
"Then why isn't he dead? Why is he still able to appear at the scene of his brother's death without doing anything?”
"Because what he wants and what he gives is different from what his brother wants.”
"What do you mean?"
I'm very curious. It's different. What do you mean different?
" His younger brother wanted a woman, so he gave up his soul. As for his older brother,"
Ah Wei paused and didn't continue. I stared at him without saying anything. My firm gaze forced him to continue.
"His brother sold his freedom and made himself a slave of darkness. What he will get is eternal life.”
He looked at my confused face and revealed an evil smile.
"Not only did his brother betray himself, but he also risked the possibility of his younger brother reincarnating as a human. His younger brother's soul will forever be devoured by evil and will never be able to escape! As for himself, although he could not die, the so-called eternal life was just a puppet-like life, forever a slave of evil and darkness!”
"Then what do you mean by I killed him? If I kill him for the darkness, then what am I?”
"When evil absorbs the soul, the physical body will still be alive, but the living physical body will wander around the world and live like a human. When it meets the right person, it will absorb the other party's soul and become a half-human ghost. It is a demon-like existence, and you want to kill their physical body! Stop more people from getting hurt!"
"Wait, wait, wait. Let me think about it.”
"I understand that your brain capacity is limited, but since I arranged for you to be the Alliance Master, there must be a reason. I believe that you will grow very quickly under my training!”
He was really becoming more and more shameless! Ah Wei said as he put his hand on my waist and hugged me in his arms!
"Don't blush. I'm your future husband!”
I was afraid of pushing him away, but I was taken advantage of by such a handsome man!
"Continue. What is an alliance leader? What does that mean?”
Ah Wei smiled as he sat down and continued.
" The alliance is to stop all the actions of the evil and darkness. Our two families formed an alliance to resist them. Over the past hundred years, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Every generation will find a passage because of the Tarot that my family has passed down. That passage that can allow one's soul to live forever. You are that passage! I'm a spacetime manipulator. I can control spacetime and travel freely. She's a mind snooper. Her clansmen have the ability to spy on people's hearts! They could see people's hearts. Who was most likely to be the next person to sign the contract? Who was most likely to become the slave of darkness!”
"Then who are they that you are fighting against?”
Might didn't say anything. He pointed at the top of his head." God?”
Ah Wei smiled and patted my head.
"It's the owner of this building, the Cheng family. "The ancestors of the Cheng family were a mysterious tribe in the ancient East. Legend has it that their people had a secret technique that allowed people to live forever. It seems to have become a legend in this generation. No one knows if it's true or not. However, since we have abilities that are different from ordinary people, it doesn't seem impossible for the Cheng family to control souls to live forever. You saw it yourself. The person who died in your building is an example. Xuan Yi, I know you might not understand now." I stole time and let you experience all this just to prove to you. Perhaps you will ask me why it was you. I can only say that I can't tell you that it was all your destiny.”
Ah Wei's determined gaze made me unable to resist believing all of this. However, even if I knew, what could I do?
At this moment, the 'she' that Ah Wei was talking about walked towards me. It was actually her!
I turned around and looked at Ah Wei coldly." All of this was arranged by you, right?”
Wasn't the girl in front of him the girl he met in the bookstore that day?
"Hehe, it really isn't. That day, we met by chance. Ah Wei said that he wanted me to meet his destined one, but when I saw that the girl who came in was actually you, I was shocked. However, now that I think about it, it seems that you really are destined. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that I gave the book to you?”
I tilted my head and looked at this 18 or 19-year-old girl in front of me. She actually conspired with this annoying person to scheme against me! Really, she looked so pure and cute for nothing!
Ah Wei's laughter came from beside him.
"Hahahahaha, you said he was pure and cute! Hahahaha, it's more like she has a venomous heart!”
Hearing Ah Wei's words, the girl continued to smile at me. She didn't get angry and remained as calm as water.
"Didn't you say that your ability is to travel through time and space? Why do I feel like you're a worm in my stomach now? Why do you know everything I'm thinking? Then tell me, how do I want to kill you?”
It really wasn't a good feeling to have someone prying into my thoughts. I looked at Ah Wei angrily and said hatefully.
"Abilities can be learned. Imitation is an innate ability of humans. I can learn Sidi's mind reading ability, and Sidi can also learn my control over time and space. By the way, let me correct you. I'm not traveling through time and space. I can't travel through a thousand years. I can only control time and space in the near future. Controlling space doesn't mean that I can travel through space. It's just that I can appear in different situations while controlling time. Even if I'm talking to you here today, I can still control time to appear in another place tomorrow. Do you understand?”
"So, you took the photo that you sent me, right?”
"Yes, smart. I took it!"
The confusion in my heart was solved bit by bit, but there was still something I didn't understand, so I continued to ask.
"Then, why didn't I know that I had experienced the same thing?”
"I'll answer that because we made a mistake while searching for you. In order to not confuse you too much, I secretly stole a little of your memories.”
The one who spoke was the girl called Si Di.
"But I clearly saw the dead man in the subway that day. I'm sure I saw him!”
I suddenly raised my doubts loudly. If everything that Ah Wei said could be explained up until now, but I saw a dead person appear in the subway station. No matter what, it couldn't be explained!
Hearing my words, Ah Wei put away his cynical attitude and said very seriously.
"This is why we wanted to find you and tell you everything. Activating the channel requires a suitable opportunity. Now should be the time. What you saw that day was not the dead Wang Xuelin, but a replacement!”
"What is it? Substitute? What do you mean?"
More and more new terms made me more and more confused. I was at a loss for a moment. My first reaction was to take out my notebook from my bag and take notes.
However, Ah Wei didn't tease me about my ridiculous behavior like before. Instead, he continued to speak in a very serious manner.
" I met you through Weiwei, right? On the surface, Weiwei looked for me, but in fact, I took the initiative to look for Weiwei. In our world, we call people like Weiwei a guide, but guides only exist by chance. In other words, they exist to achieve a certain goal. When Weiwei completed her mission of helping me find the passage, his identity as a guide disappeared. " As for the replacement, to put it simply, Wang Xuelin is dead, but his soul is controlled. He is ordered to wander the world to find a new contractor. You can see him because you are the channel we are looking for.”
Hearing this, I roughly understood what had happened these past few days. Although it was unacceptable, at least I wouldn't be confused anymore.
"Then! What happened to those strange things that happened when he worked overtime that night?”
I asked softly. My current identity was the Alliance Master. What kind of safe passage was this? I couldn't lose my composure anymore.
Ah Wei coughed softly." Life needs a little adjustment so that it won't be boring!”
Help!
I threw the coffee cup at Ah Wei! So it was all his doing! If you tell me, then tell me. Is there a need to make it sound so sinister and terrifying? I was scared for a long time!
"There's one last question. Tell me, I'm the alliance leader.”
I grabbed Ah Wei's tie in my hand. His shirt was already wet from the coffee I threw at him. His clothes stuck to his body, showing his beautiful muscles.
"Well, to be precise, you're just a passageway. As for the Alliance Master, it's because you'll marry the most handsome, manly, and intelligent person in the world in the future, me!”
Pa!
I slapped Ah Wei's left cheek and said angrily.
"A loss! I'm not doing it!"
"Hehe, sister, don't bother with him. The Alliance Master has to lead us to complete many missions. The passageway is the only medium that connects the body and the soul. Since ancient times, the Alliance Master and the passageway have needed to work hand in hand. The passage was chosen by the tarot in Ah Wei's hands. As for the Alliance Master, it was chosen by us. Only the Alliance Master has the ability to defeat darkness and evil. Perhaps you can't do it now, but believe that in the future, you will definitely be much more powerful than you think!”
What a beautiful voice, what beautiful words.
"Alright, since the great mission of saving the world has come to me, I won't refuse it anymore! Also, don't call me sister in the future! Thank you!"
Si Di still smiled at me and replied softly.
"Okay, Auntie!"
"Hahaha, I told you, he's a viper!”
Ah Wei was already lying on the sofa with a smile on his face. At this moment, the atmosphere was no longer so tense. Although I didn't really understand what they were saying, I also didn't know what I would encounter in the future if I left with them. Was he really going to save the world? I asked myself, am I really as powerful as she said?
Just when everything seemed like a science fiction story to me, my phone suddenly rang. It was Weiwei calling. I picked it up and the first thing she said was,"... Help!"
