I was excited when I heard about Qin Garden, and I took out my phone. "Can I add you now?"
Qin Yuan just smiled.
After chatting for a while, I headed back to school with the security guard.
Once back in the dormitory, I felt restless. I had no idea what would happen next, but I was certain that Wei Qiang was doomed.
Around nine o'clock that night, my phone suddenly buzzed. I quickly pulled it out and saw a WeChat message from someone named "Springtime Full Circle." I remembered that this was Qin Yuan.
When I opened the message, I almost spat out the water I had just taken a sip of. Qin Yuan had sent me a picture—a woman in the bathroom, completely naked and washing herself, her face hidden.
I felt a rush of excitement, but soon realized that this was just a photo found online. Qin Yuan was clearly messing with me.
After thinking it over, I put my phone down without replying to Qin Yuan. This woman was infuriating; how could she use a random image from the internet to toy with me? But then again, with her being so open, was she trying to seduce me? Although Qin Yuan wasn't exactly stunning, she would definitely be a competent partner in bed.
My thoughts were all jumbled up, and I realized they were being stirred by Qin Yuan.
But then it hit me—it wasn’t really about Qin Yuan at all. My chaotic feelings were all tied to one person: Wei Qiang.
I wondered how Wei Qiang was doing, how Wang Shao was faring, and what would happen to me. Borrowing from Demon Slayer, this move was particularly sinister. My heart raced even more; the first time taking a life and doing it through the hands of a demon made everything feel unbearable.
Time passed slowly.
I was still lost in my thoughts when the phone suddenly rang. I picked up my phone and saw it was from Chen Guo.
I answered the call and walked outside. Chen Guo said, "Hello, is this Brother Song Fei? Um... I have something to apologize for."
"What happened?" I felt a jolt of surprise. Could it be that the jade pendant I stole was fake?
Chen Guo continued, "Brother Song Fei, I don’t know how to explain this, but the jade pendant you asked me to take suddenly shattered. I had placed it carefully on the table and hadn’t moved it at all. I even asked my wife, and she didn’t touch it either. But somehow, it just broke. How about I get you another one that looks exactly the same?"
Upon hearing this, I understood. "No need for that, Brother Chen. Just throw that broken pendant into the fire and forget about this matter. Let’s pretend it never happened, alright?"
"Okay."
I hung up on Chen Guo and let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that the jade pendant was Wei Qiang's life talisman, likely made by a skilled practitioner to ward off evil when kept nearby. I wondered what method Chen Guo had used to steal it without anyone noticing.
Holding my phone, I returned to my dormitory, feeling a bit flustered. After all, it involved a life. This was my first time borrowing from Demon Slayer; I couldn't shake off the unease because no matter what, Wei Qiang's death was orchestrated by me.
I climbed into bed, set my phone to silent mode, and drifted off to sleep.
...
"Thank you, Song Fei." Wang Shao approached gracefully in a trench coat; she was a student from the Art Academy and truly beautiful.
I replied, "You look stunning in that outfit."
Wang Shao playfully stuck her tongue out at me. "Does that mean I'm not pretty if I take off my clothes?" As she spoke, her trench coat slipped off, revealing a model-like figure. But really, since she was a ghost, couldn't she be a little less mischievous?
Yes, she was a ghost.
I suddenly remembered that this seemed like a dream.
I swallowed hard. "Wang Shao, didn't you die? Why are you here looking for me again?"
"Song Fei, this is the last time I'll see you. I have one thing to ask of you." With that, Wang Shao slowly floated closer to me, kneeling before me and pulling down my pants.
I felt a bit flustered. Was my luck with romance really this strong? I found it strange.
I didn’t resist.
Wang Shao mischievously winked at me, her hand gently lifting mine and sliding down my palm. Then she leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "Song Fei, my belongings were taken home by my mom. Among them is a hardcover book titled God's Eye; it's my favorite philosophy book. Inside the cover is a bank card with my mom's birthday as the password. There’s five hundred thousand yuan in it. Please help me withdraw it from the bank—four hundred thousand for my mom and my brother, and the other one hundred thousand is yours. Song Fei, you’re not being honest..."
As I looked at Wang Shao before me, I suddenly felt a pang of sadness. This girl was cheerful, lively, and beautiful; she should have had a better life than this, yet now...
Wang Shao's lips felt soft and real.
Unable to contain myself in this dream, I suddenly pressed Wang Shao down beneath me.
Her bright eyes looked up at me, sparkling with laughter.
I felt a bit embarrassed, but it felt so real and exhilarating.
Wang Shao covered her mouth and laughed, then she pushed me away, stood up, and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. It's time for me to go."
"Wait? I... I'm not done yet?" I panicked as Wang Shao was about to leave just when I was reaching my peak.
Wang Shao gave me a quick kiss and said, "You’ll have to take care of it yourself. If you spill on me, you'll be exhausted for half a month." With that, her figure slowly faded away.
I felt uncomfortable and a bit dazed, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi rushed over. She didn’t ask why I was without clothes; she simply took my hand and said, "Song Fei, do you know? Wei Qiang is dead. This is great! I'm free now."
"Yes, let's be together," I said as I embraced Liu Yiyi. The feeling of holding the goddess was thrilling.
Liu Yiyi nodded but then sighed, "No, you’re too poor. My family won’t agree."
Even though Liu Yiyi said that, she didn’t push me away. So I forcefully pulled off her clothes.
We rolled passionately together, and soon everything felt incredibly wonderful.
"Liu Yiyi! You bitch! I knew you conspired against me!" Wei Qiang suddenly burst in, his face covered in blood as he lunged at us.
I jumped up abruptly, my body trembling as I broke into a cold sweat and opened my eyes wide.
What the hell! It was indeed a dream, but a spring dream that left no trace, yet I had stained my pants with marks.
Outside, it was already slightly brightening. I glanced at the time; it was six o'clock sharp.
I got up and tidied myself up. I slapped my forehead as I suddenly remembered what Wang Shao had instructed me. Right, Wang Shao must have intentionally come to me in a dream. What was it she wanted me to do? Oh yes, fifty thousand. There was still fifty thousand in her belongings that she wanted me to retrieve, and she promised to give me one hundred thousand.
One hundred thousand!
My mood instantly lifted. I had previously given up the one hundred thousand Chen Guo sent me, and I felt a bit regretful about it. Little did I know that fortune would come my way now. Well, since Wang Shao promised to give it to me, it wouldn't hurt to take it.
After breakfast, I picked up my phone, preparing to find the address of Wang Shao's hometown. Initially, I thought about going to the Art Academy's archives, but then I realized they probably transferred Wang Shao's file to the police station. It would be better to inquire directly at the police station.
At that moment, my phone rang; it was Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi sounded a bit frantic on the other end of the line. "Song Fei, do you know? Wei Qiang got into a car accident. I'm heading to the accident scene now. If you're awake, you should come along."
"Uh... sure, where is it?" I asked without pretending to be too surprised.
"I'll come pick you up; just wait a moment."
I hung up the phone, gathered my things, and left the dormitory.
Once I got into Liu Yiyi's car, I asked, "How did Wei Qiang die?"
"I don't know. They say he drank too much and crashed into the railing of Rainbow Bridge, then both the car and he fell into Rainbow River. The police are analyzing the scene to determine whether he was drunk and fell into the river or if it was due to a brake failure in the Land Rover. You know how bad the reputation of Land Rover is in China right now," Liu Yiyi said, driving straight towards Rainbow Bridge.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Wang Shao had done a good job making Wei Qiang's death look like an accident, especially since he was also driving under the influence.
When we arrived at Rainbow Bridge, the police had already cordoned off the area. The bridge was wide, with stone railings on the outside, and below was Rainbow River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, about thirty meters wide. The water was quite deep, but the current wasn't strong.
I saw a middle-aged man and woman pulling at a police officer, loudly questioning him with an angry tone. Given their anxious demeanor, they were likely Wei Qiang's parents. Below in the river, three salvage boats were hovering on the surface, stirring up debris as they searched for something.
I got out of the car and stood by the bridge, looking at my handiwork. A sudden feeling of exhilaration surged within me; I felt like laughing out loud. But quickly, I suppressed that thought. I wasn't a bad person, nor could I become one.
Suddenly, bubbles began to churn in the river, and then a diver in a wetsuit emerged from the water. He spat and shouted, "What bad luck! We found the car, but there’s no body inside. It's full of dead fish—completely packed! What the hell is going on?"
The diver gestured for the crane above to start lifting.
The crane roared to life, and soon a Land Rover slowly surfaced from the water. As it reached the surface, its door suddenly swung open, and thousands of dead fish slid out into the water—huge catfish with long whiskers that looked somewhat like human faces.
Liu Yiyi stood beside me, covering her mouth as she watched the truckload of dead fish float from the Land Rover onto the surface. She whispered in shock, "Song Fei, what’s going on? Why are there so many dead fish in Wei Qiang's car?"
I had no idea either. How could Wei Qiang's body not be in the car? How did it turn into a truckload of catfish? The key point was that these catfish looked somewhat human and were enormous—filling up an entire vehicle.
Below, people were busy trying to recover bodies and salvage the car.
I felt a sense of unease in my heart as I stared at the shimmering water surface. Suddenly, a shadow appeared beneath the water, lifting its head to meet my gaze. The figure resembled Wei Qiang, but it was much larger, with a head that was half the size of its body. Its hollow, dark eyes fixed on me intently.
A chill ran down my spine, and I shivered uncontrollably. I continued to stare at the shadow, paralyzed by fear, unable to look away.
Then the shadow smiled eerily and vanished completely...
"Song Fei! Song Fei, what's wrong?" Liu Yiyi shook my arm.
I slowly turned my head and realized that I had climbed onto the railing, poised to jump into the river.
"Song Fei! What happened? You were trembling and trying to climb over the railing! You scared me to death!" Liu Yiyi exclaimed, gripping my arm tightly.
I gasped for breath, struggling to shake off the fear from moments ago. I didn’t mention the ghostly figure beneath the water; that was something I wanted to keep to myself. I didn’t know what had happened after Wei Qiang died, but damn it, if something was coming for me, let it come for me alone. I would face it head-on!
