Lucky or Unlucky?
On the street.
Today, the sun shines brightly, the sky is cloudless, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
But Meng Qing walked on the street with trepidation, fearing that a monster might suddenly jump out and tear him apart.
He looked left and right, and the people around him thought he was crazy.
But Meng Qing didn't care what others thought of him; he only cared about whether he could survive until the finale.
During the day, Meng Qing went to several nearby garbage stations, but after searching around, he found nothing. Instead, he was scolded by an old man who collected scrap.
"Yeah, the world is so big... how could I possibly be so lucky as to pick up trash thrown away by the Grim Reaper?"
As dusk approached, Meng Qing sighed and prepared to head home.
Survival rule number one: You must be home before dark, and you absolutely must not go out when it rains.
Since most monster killings occur at night or on rainy days, if both happen, you're on your own.
Meng Qing ran home as fast as he could, and as dusk approached, he felt as if something was chasing him from behind!
Meng Qing had experienced this feeling firsthand when he walked alone at night!
As Meng Qing was running, he suddenly stopped. This was not because he couldn't run anymore, but because he saw something!
A bookstore?
Meng Qing's eyes widened, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
The bookstore looked ordinary and very old-fashioned from the outside, and there was only a reclining black-haired man inside.
"No way?"
"The Exiled's Library, I've actually come across it?"
"Could it be that the Grim Reaper heard my prayers?"
Meng Qing thought of this, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
He grabbed the bookstore doorknob and pulled it outwards, but the door remained firmly shut, like a welded-on iron door.
Meng Qing tried pushing the door again, but it remained unmoved.
Gradually, sweat began to appear on Meng Qing's palms.
Oh no...
"I am not... the destined one."
Why?
The library is right in front of us!
Why can't I open it?
Why?!
Meng Qing's heart began to race. Should he stay?
Should we try calling out to Boss Death?
What if, what if Death gets impatient and just kills him?
Damn it, the opportunity was right in front of us!
Meng Qing was unwilling to accept this!
Just then, the black-haired man in the bookstore suddenly closed the book in his hand and turned to look at Meng Qing.
But this one gaze sent a chill down Meng Qing's spine and made his hands and feet tremble.
It felt as if a scythe was held to his neck!
Seeing this, Meng Qing slowly stepped back, and the black-haired man opened his book again and resumed reading.
Let's go...
Meng Qing was about to turn and leave when a sudden inspiration struck him!
Yes!
Meng Qing looked at the bookstore entrance again, and raised his right hand to swear:
"The Hand of the Serpent will surely reshape the world."
Click!
As soon as Meng Qing finished speaking, the bookstore's tightly closed doors suddenly opened!
You guessed right!
The Hand of the Serpent was created by Sequence 024 Great Serpent. It has always longed for freedom, even though it is impossible, it still holds onto a sliver of hope!
They believed the Hand of the Serpent would surely come to their rescue!
The door was wide open, but Meng Qing's legs felt like they were made of lead, and he stood there motionless.
It's over...
I'm too scared to go in!
Meng Qing really wanted to slap himself. Meng Qing, why are you so cowardly at this crucial moment? The door is open, come in!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Aren't you coming in?
Just then, a voice suddenly came from inside the bookstore.
Meng Qing gritted his teeth and went into the bookstore anyway.
As soon as he entered, the door behind him slammed shut!
Chen Ye put down his book and looked at Meng Qing. With a flick of his finger, a chair instantly appeared in the bookstore.
"Sit."
Sit?
Meng Qing looked at the chair, but hesitated to sit down for a long time.
Seeing this, Chen Ye turned his head to look at Meng Qing and said, "Sit down."
Sit...
Meng Qing waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no need, I can stand!"
Chen Ye waved his hand, drawing out a lifeline, and then suddenly smiled.
"You're not Chu Yang, are you?"
What!
Meng Qing was stunned. How did the Grim Reaper boss figure it out?
Is it the lifeline?
Because their life lines are different?!
How should I answer?
'The Grim Reaper knows that this body belongs to Chu Yang, but at the same time knows that the soul within this body is not Chu Yang. How do you explain that?'
'To tell the truth?'
'Actually, I'm a time traveler. No, no, no, if I said that, the Grim Reaper would definitely shove my head upside down in a kettle!'
"I... am not Chu Yang."
Upon hearing Meng Qing's words, Chen Ye immediately picked up the magnifying glass beside him.
He held up a magnifying glass and shone it on Meng Qing, and countless pieces of information began to flash across the magnifying glass.
"Possession is not a rare trait."
Chen Ye casually tossed the magnifying glass aside. He recognized Meng Qing's body the moment he saw it.
This is Chu Yang's newborn body, but the soul inside is not Chu Yang's soul.
Chu Yang's soul was erased, and a new soul took its place.
Interestingly, this person's fate was even more resilient than Chu Yang's.
The moment he was scanned by the magnifying glass, Meng Qing felt as if he had been stripped naked and dissected.
Chen Ye didn't speak, and Meng Qing didn't dare to speak either. They just stared blankly at the counter, where there were two bottles of medicine.
Feeling Meng Qing's gaze, Chen Ye's lips slowly curled into a smile.
Interesting.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Meng Qing took a deep breath. "I was originally an ordinary student. One day, I was walking and reading an online novel. Because I wasn't looking where I was going and didn't see the red light, a car suddenly sped out from the road and hit me, killing me. After that, I was reborn into this person's body. I don't know who this person is, and I don't recognize him!"
Meng Qing spoke very quickly and without taking a breath, making Chen Ye feel like he was about to suffocate towards the end.
I always felt he was very nervous, no, not just nervous, but also uneasy and fearful.
Despite this, he still stood resolutely in front of Chen Ye.
It seems like a pretty good joke.
Chen Ye picked up a bookmark from the side and pushed it in front of Meng Qing.
"I acknowledge your courage in coming in and having the audacity to stand before me, and I grant you permission to borrow a book."
"For your personal safety, I suggest you choose the books on the first shelf."
Book?
Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, Meng Qing suddenly recalled that the Library of the Exiles would constantly split into various books containing mysterious knowledge or forbidden powers.
If Meng Qing remembered correctly, if ordinary people read these books, they would either go insane or die suddenly!
Dangerous, extremely dangerous!
To be honest, Meng Qing didn't really want to choose.
But Chen Ye clearly wasn't planning to give him the medicine, and since he had already spoken up, Meng Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose a book!
Meng Qing looked at the books on the bookshelves, but just seeing the names made him feel a strange twisting and stinging sensation.
The Book of Revelation
The Key of Solomon
Eternal Dream
Death and Life
Meng Qing stepped forward, but unexpectedly a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the bookshelf.
Click.
Suddenly, a book was pushed out by something. Meng Qing quickly caught the book and saw that its title was [title missing].
The Man Whose Eyes Were Dug Out
Meng Qing turned to the first page, and the first sentence he saw sent a chill down his spine.
"Don't let them know you can see, don't go to see anyone who can read you, and if you want to live, take your secret to your grave, my dear blind uncle."
