Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The proprietress was tied up and fell to the ground. She was still trying to go to the well to see what was going on. Ling Jiushi could only see some flames coming out of the well. Only Jiang Xinxin and Ruan Baijie could see a woman with black air all over her body, her face was hideous after being licked by the flames, and she was struggling to pounce on them and attack them.

Ruan Baijie sneered: "Miss Jiang is right, your tragedy and the tragedy of your family are all caused by you and the people around you, and have nothing to do with the innocent people who entered the spiritual realm!"

"Even your parents are actively providing us players who have entered the Spirit Realm as blood food to you, aren't they?!"

Ruan Baijie's real name is Ruan Lanzhu. He was born as a purifier of the spiritual realm. Originally, he thought that his mission was to cooperate with Ling Jiushi to purify the resentment of the door gods, so as to achieve the effect of purifying the entire spiritual realm. But after listening to Jiang Xinxin's words today, he felt that at least not all door gods and NPCs are worthy of purification.

Jiang Xinxin watched the proprietress become distraught and like a lunatic after being questioned by Ruan Baijie. She felt disgusted but also felt a little pity for her. After all, what she just said was from the perspective of a bystander. If she had experienced what the proprietress experienced, who knows how things would turn out.

Ling Jiushi looked at the fading fire in the well and could not help but walk forward to help the proprietress up. While fixing her hair, face and clothes, he told her his own personal experience: "One year in college, I went out with a good friend to collect folk songs. Later, there was an earthquake in that place and I was accidentally crushed underground. However, my good friend chose to give up on me to save more people."

"When I was finally rescued and returned to school, I found out that my friend had become a hero praised by everyone, while I was the incompetent idiot who was causing trouble."

Jiang Xinxin and Ruan Baijie didn't expect Ling Jiushi to have such an experience. Even the boss lady looked more sober after hearing it. The three of them saw Ling Jiushi's social phobia attack again. He tried to pretend to be calm and continued: "In fact, when I watched that friend give up on me and go to someone else, I felt nothing but sadness and grief. Of course I knew that we wouldn't even be friends anymore, but I didn't expect that after returning to school, there would be an even bigger blow."

"Actually, I don't have anything..."

Jiang Xinxin let go of the proprietress and said to her, "Go and see your daughter off. She was sacrificed to save others, so it's natural for her to feel some resentment. But later on, your actions of feeding her with your flesh and blood caused her a huge amount of trouble. She should have died peacefully and looked forward to her next life, but now she has become a fierce ghost that everyone wants to kill. Now she has no next life to speak of, so go and see her off quickly."

The proprietress fell to the side of the well, crying. Her daughter, who was enveloped by the fire in the well, finally regained her clean and beautiful appearance before she died. She wanted to say something, but could only burst into tears.

The girl's figure could be blown away by a gust of wind, but she still tried to smile and said to her mother: "Mom, I don't blame you and Dad. If it weren't for me, you might not be alive today. I just hate those people for taking advantage of me and saying bad things to me. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

The proprietress wanted to embrace her daughter, but failed. The girl looked at Jiang Xinxin and said, "Ms. Jiang, I don't know why I became like this, but I know that it was not my intention from the beginning. Now I am relieved, but there are more secrets in this world. It is not as simple as everyone sees. Miss Jiang, you have to be careful."

Jiang Xinxin looked at the girl like this and always wanted to do something for her. Just one second before she completely disappeared, a ray of golden light flew out of Jiang Xinxin's body and merged into the girl's body, preventing her from completely disappearing. However, she did disappear in front of everyone.

Ling Jiushi could not see what happened to Jiang Xinxin and the girl just now, but Ruan Baijie saw it clearly. He could not help but whispered: "No wonder the light on you is more dazzling than the light on Ling Jiushi..."

After a long time, Ling Jiushi stepped forward and helped the proprietress up again. At this time, the proprietress had regained consciousness. She turned around and knelt down in front of Jiang Xinxin, thanking her repeatedly. Jiang Xinxin was so scared that she jumped to the side, which made Ling Jiushi and Ruan Baijie laugh.

"Auntie, please get up quickly. I didn't do anything. It's not worth it for you to be like this!"

However, the proprietress didn't listen at all. Not only did she quickly serve a table of delicious food, she also turned around and went out to get the key to open the door for them. "We ourselves have understood it once, but we have become puppets in this world and have no autonomy. Miss Jiang, my daughter is gone, and I don't know what this door will eventually become, but many of us hope that all the suffering will end soon and not be repeated."

Although they hated their daughter, they never thought of hurting others to relieve their hatred for the people around them, as well as their guilt and longing for their daughter. Things changed after the formation of the spiritual realm. Under the control of the spiritual realm, they had to experience the pain again and again, watching their daughter turn into a monster that could only feed on flesh and blood. It became increasingly difficult for them to stay awake, and they eventually lost all consciousness.

They have hurt people, so there is certainly a place for them to atone for their sins, but they really don't want to continue with their past mistakes and regrets.

Jiang Xinxin and Ling Jiushi couldn't help but look at each other. For some reason, they both thought that the tragedies in this door were things that had already happened.

After getting the key, Jiang Xinxin realized that besides Ling Jiushi and Ruan Baijie, there were other people who entered here. Now there were only a man and a woman gathered in front of the door. It was because the others had died here and were taken by the proprietress to feed her children.

Everyone walked through the open door in silence. Jiang Xinxin only felt a flash before her eyes and she arrived at a rather luxurious small living room. The person next to her was Ruan Baijie.

Ruan Baijie was even more surprised than Jiang Xinxin, "Why is Miss Jiang here?"

Jiang Xinxin was confused: "How should I know? Before I woke up in that B&B, I clearly remembered that I was in a car accident. When I woke up, I was in a strange place, and there was no one around. I thought I was..."

Jiang Xinxin wanted to say that she thought she was sold out by her parents, but then a place in her head started to hurt like a needle, and she had no time to think about anything else. She squatted down with her head in her hands.

As soon as Ruan Baijie saw Jiang Xinxin's condition, he knew that it was not normal. It happened that he had originally planned to have more contact with Jiang Xinxin, so he quickly helped Jiang Xinxin lie down on the sofa, and he called someone to come and check on Jiang Xinxin's condition.

While waiting for someone, Ruan Baijie took the time to introduce the situation here to Jiang Xinxin: "You also know about the spiritual realm. It looks like a game. It is said that there are twelve doors in total. Every day, people continue to enter each door. Only when you find the door and the key can you pass. If you die in the door, you will also die in the real world."

"I'm Ruan Lanzhu, the head of the Obsidian Guild. Do you want to join us?"
