Chapter 539: No Happy End

Ji Li, who has lived from fifty years ago to today, has not changed at all.

Miao Jiang, who has lived from fifty years ago to today, has not changed his appearance.

This is the biggest common point between the two of them.

The story told by Chen Shu seems useless, but it actually reveals a lot of information.

Miao Jiang, the leader of the Circle Organization.

The ghost embryos he created are similar to the baby ghosts seen in the store manager's mission.

At that time, Ji Li suspected that the leader of the Circle Organization might have seen the baby ghosts with his own eyes.

Now, he finally got the ironclad evidence.

Miao Jiang was the manager of a branch of Tianhai Hotel fifty years ago!

She actually defected!

She did not leave the hotel perfectly, but escaped halfway.

The most incredible thing is that the "ghost" chasing Miao Jiang turned out to be Ji Li fifty years ago.

Through Chen Shu's confession, an incredible truth is presented.

Fifty years ago, Ji Li, Chunshan Weilai, Tong En and his wife, Mo, and a gloomy young man were affiliated with the first branch.

Miao Jiang is the manager of another branch.

She is from Miaojiang area, smart, bold and careful.

In one mission after another, she found the loophole of Tianhai Hotel.

At a certain time, she found this loophole, defected from Tianhai Hotel, fled westward, and came to the then Shanghai City area.

On the other hand, Tianhai Hotel did not personally pursue, but issued a bounty mission.

The other managers and employees led by Ji Li hunted down Miao Jiang.

In this fight, Miao Jiang was seriously injured and fell into the Hujiang River.

When she was dying, she was rescued by an ordinary person Chen Shu and rested for about a week.

As the "villain", Ji Li and others finally found her trace with the help of the sin object.

Ji Li was about to appear after Chen Shu's thought, but was forcibly interrupted.

Miao Jiang was forced to flee again, and since then she has completely disappeared without a trace.

...

This is part of the truth fifty years ago.

But this did not solve Ji Li's doubts, but brought more and more mysteries.

What is the loophole of Tianhai Hotel?

Why did Ji Li "help the tyrant to do evil", hunt him down without leaving any room, and ignore this loophole?

Why was he so powerful fifty years ago, comparable to ghosts and gods?

Why is he in such a state now?

The biggest confusion is why Miaojiang is back now?

Miaojiang has been under the nose of Tianhai Hotel in recent years, how could he be safe and sound?

"Miaojiang's defection, the disappearance of Tongen and his wife...

I... I was playing the villain fifty years ago..."

Ji Li panicked for the first time.

Miaojiang reminded him of Tongguan's parents, whom he once thought were his best friends.

"I am a human!

No matter what I am now, at least I was a human fifty years ago!

I am a human, why did I stand on the side of the ghost in all the choices?"

Ji Li's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he kept backing away, bumping into the tea bowl on the table.

The original cognition is collapsing.

The things he hated, questioned, and resisted are becoming fragments.

These fragments of memory began to reorganize, and actually compiled a truth that he couldn't believe.

Ji Li supported himself on the wall with one hand, covered his head in pain, and roared long and low.

"I am Ji Li, I am Ji Li, I am Ji Li.

I am Ji Li in the present and here, I have what I want, I have the world I exist in.

I...what I want..."

No love, no hate, no emotion, no thoughts, no past, no future, no self...

Ji Li has nothing.

He never knew what he wanted.

He didn't care how long he could live.

The truth he was looking for along the way seemed important, but he didn't show how much he cared.

What you think is from your heart.

But what you think in your heart, you must first become a person.

Ji Li, until now, has not recognized whether he is a human being.

Then, perhaps it is meaningless to talk about life and death and the truth.

This is why Ghost Child No. 2 has set his sights on him but has never been able to take action.

Ghost Child No. 2 is waiting for Ji Li to recognize that he is a human being.

Only when Ji Li becomes a human being will he have obsession and a real heart.

…

Ji Li raised his head with difficulty and looked at Chen Shu who was standing opposite him.

Chen Shu at this moment was no longer the tough and casual middle-aged man who had just appeared.

His hair had all turned snow-white, but the skin on his face had turned pure black.

The original Taoist robe was completely melted, and the black liquid flowing on his body was viscous and evil.

"You have been dead for a long time, and died in the dream that I got into your mind.

It was the sin object that shaped your body. Miaojiang used you and deceived you, so that you became a real ghost today, fifty years later."

Chen Shu was just an ordinary person. How could he survive that night fifty years ago?

Miaojiang saw him three times, which coincided with the three uses of the sin object.

The change of Chen Shu just now was exactly the same as the fourth use of the sin object, which turned a living person into a ghost.

Sometimes, a story is just a story.

No matter how deep the emotional blessing Chen Shu paid when telling the story.

But the woman in the story never had any emotion for the man who saved her.

Only use and deception remained.

Chen Shu, who has lost his human form, still retains the last bit of humanity.

His voice became strange and dangerous, but his words were particularly true.

"I died because of her, and I live because of her.

If she lied to me and I didn't know, that's called deception.

If she lied to me and I always knew it, that's not called deception, it's called willingness."

Ji Li was silent.

He looked at Chen Shu for a long time, but didn't leave in a hurry. After a while, he whispered:

"She knew you couldn't kill me, but she still wanted you to die.

This Miaojiang is more rational than I thought."

After saying this, a thick black iron chain appeared on Ji Li's right hand.

The moment the bronze coffin didn't fall to the ground, he turned around and smashed the coffin against the wall behind him.

With a loud rumble, the whole wall was smashed through, and under the lime, Ji Li left.

Ji Li left, and Chen Shu's transformation into a ghost was about to be completed.

Just before his will as a human was about to disappear, he caught the meaning of Ji Li's words.

At the moment before his death, he untied the knot in his heart for decades and became a ghost in satisfaction.

…

On the night of forty years ago, the woman opened the door, and the moonlight illuminated the silver pendant on her ear, as if she really wore the crescent moon on her ear.

She wore a butterfly mask and quietly walked to the sleeping man.

Looking at the sleeping face, she gently stretched out her hand to touch it, but immediately retracted it.

The naturally curved corners of her mouth under the mask were deliberately retracted by her, keeping a calm mind.

She took out a bamboo flute from her bosom, put it to her lips, and blew it lightly.

The moon was hanging over the branches, and the sound of the flute was as clear as the moonlight, floating melodiously and freely to a far, far place.

Not all encounters in fate have a good end.

Remember the beauty that has happened.

Don't look at how it started, and don't care how it ended.
