Prologue

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

At this moment, he felt very much like a groom. Then, he was unexpectedly taken aback to see the face of a certain soul twitching.

Li Lin asked several expressionless wandering souls, but no one paid him any attention. This is the difference between the human world and the ghost realm; in the human world, there are always kind-hearted people who answer his questions in detail. Li Lin was very curious about this vibrant flower and suddenly thought, could this be the legendary Higanbana? He recalled a certain girlfriend he once wanted to propose to, who was more infatuated with Higanbana than with red roses while reading romantic stories. Li Lin silently admired it for a while and carefully plucked a flower, pinning it to his lapel.

When taking on the task, Li Lin thought it over carefully; repaying a favor in three to five years would not be a loss. What he did not expect was that the brother to whom he owed a favor no longer wanted him to repay it, but instead sought his life

After waiting for five minutes, Li Lin started the car and drove up the mountain. Not a minute would be off; he had even calculated the time required to drive home.

Before he could reach the front of the line to receive a bowl of soup from Meng Po, he was seemingly unintentionally yet deliberately kicked into the River of Forgetfulness by a ghostly officer maintaining order and a high-quality soul. Li Lin wanted to curse, but after considering that it was pointless to hold onto such grievances now that he was dead, he relaxed and sank to the bottom of the river

At the moment he entered the building, Li Lin sadly recalled the scene of the brawl in prison from his previous life. He smiled again, realizing that in this life, there would be no brothers around him who could stab him in the back.

A person who had been drinking accidentally collided with a young master who was out exercising, which is quite normal

He curiously walked along the road to the underworld, feeling that it was no different from walking on the street, except that the greenbelt had turned into a patch of blood-red flowers

He certainly knows where this is, watching a large group of little kids practicing their punches and kicks, reminiscent of scenes in movies where certain gangs train loyal little dogs from a young age. He does not want to be an assassin anymore. He was too exhausted from it in his past life

Thus, Li Lin deliberately collided with the young master riding the mountain bike, watching as both the mountain bike and the young master were propelled twenty meters away. He got out of the car to confirm the young master's death and reported the incident with a voice filled with extreme panic and confusion

A night of dark moon and high winds, a night for murder

The reason a car accident is called an accident is that the car caused the trouble, not the driver. Therefore, even if caught, it is merely a charge of traffic offense. Moreover, according to the plan, he did not intend to escape. He left no room for doubt in this plan, ensuring that it could not be suspected as a premeditated murder

Li Lin sighed, having lost even the mood to pretend to be a fool. This was because he heard the guard beside him say: "It doesn't matter if he's a fool; it's a pity not to send such a little one to the Peony Courtyard."

Li Lin died in a brawl in prison. With his skills, he would not have been the one to die in a fight between two gangs, but a brother standing behind him gently delivered a knife and said, "A brother wishes you a good journey"

In the mountains of the western border of Anguo, during autumn, a six-year-old boy gazing dreamily at the valley suddenly found life in his eyes. It shimmered in the sunlight like the colorful lakes not far beneath his feet

Li Lin pressed the brake and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The young master in the mansion on the mountain had a peculiar habit of riding his mountain bike for exercise every night at 10:00 PM. Li Lin's task was to orchestrate a car accident

The prison guard arrived slowly, just like in a crime film. Li Lin, convulsing, looked at the small patch of sky through the window and sneered that it was too much of a loss to die for some worthless sense of loyalty. Perhaps it was already destined for this outcome when he shook his head and said he didn't want the money at that time. His brothers did not believe that he refused the money merely to repay a favor.

The delicate white hand held a gleaming knife, and he waved it around, though his body parts still did not meet that requirement. However, he regained a sense of his past life, which made him quite satisfied

Three months later, Li Lin fought with other children in an open area. Three months later, he wore a badge with the number 100 on his clothes. He entered a wooden building numbered 10 with one hundred children. They began to kill each other.

Peony Courtyard, in this state, what else can be done? Therefore, Li Lin stood up after patting his backside, looking at the guard with the innocent smile of a six-year-old: "Where is this?"

Everything is perfectly normal. The plan is foolproof. Li Lin had dinner and drinks with friends beforehand, and then drove back to his home in Mid-Levels. The house was also purchased six months ago.

Compared to being a killer, being a male escort in a brothel seems to be a lesser choice. Thus, Li Lin became clear-headed.

According to the original plan, there are two options: compensation or imprisonment. The owner of the mansion on the mountain does not want hundreds of thousands in compensation, so the court can only sentence Li Lin to three to five years in prison
