When I put on the savior vest

If there is a chance to live forever, why not take a gamble?

Isn't life a gamble?

Li En looked at the gorgeous bottom of the lake, holding the key tightly in his hand, and his eyes were lonely and crazy.

......

Li En's father is a gangster.His father's father was also a gangster.

Li En's family has been passed down for three generations, and they all came from gangsters.But it was such a family, whose names seemed upright, Li Xueyi, Li Weizhi, and Li En.Maybe the only good thing about their family is the name.

Because of his grandfather Li Xueyi's background as a gangster and later switched to tomb robbery, Li En's father Li Weizhi had never received any orthodox education since he was a child, let alone his father's company and teaching.

Li En didn't have much impression of his grandfather. When he was a child, the most common ones were his father who was drunk and his mother who secretly wiped his tears.

But in such a not-so-warm home, his mother disappeared when he was five years old.Since then, his family has only his father who is drunk.

In the next year, his life became even more difficult. He tried to find a way to have a full meal every day, and envied other people's carefree children countless times.

Such days until he was seven years old, his grandfather came back.

The grandfather who came back had a particularly gloomy personality. Li En didn't have many memories of his grandfather before, so he naturally didn't think it was wrong.But my father felt something was different.

He drank as usual, but not at home.Instead, he secretly drank outside, or passed out on the street directly, or was sent back by someone, drunk all day long, as if he was avoiding something with the strength of alcohol.

Li En was just a child at that time, and he didn't notice the changes under the undercurrent at all. He only knew that his grandfather had a very strange personality. He always looked at a certain place, talking to himself, and sometimes suddenly went crazy. shouting 'who are you? ! ' 'Get out' words.Sometimes, he would hold a key and look at it, not knowing what he was thinking, especially precious that key.

Grandpa was a terrible man.Because outsiders said that my grandfather was crazy, that he got a mental illness due to retribution for tomb robbery.

Li En also thought so, even if his father died of drunkenness on the road one day, he would still think so.

The death of his father made Li En, who was already in a difficult situation, even more depressed.There is not much wealth left from the grandfather's previous tomb robbery, and now he is crazy, Li En is a little boy, and he has to carry the lives of two people.

In the 90s, everyone was not yet rich, and the various benefits did not keep up. Li En, who became an orphan, once worked as a street gangster, but his body was too thin, and he was disliked even by his subordinates.In the end, he had no choice but to steal, rob, and follow his father's old path.

The people in the village scolded him secretly, saying that the three generations of his family were immoral, and that sooner or later they would suffer retribution.

Li En scoffed at this.

After that, as if to test his point of view more, my grandfather's condition gradually improved.He is no longer talking to himself in the air, nor is he yelling, he is interested in various cultural histories.

When he was free, he would look through the books he had collected. He couldn't read, so he asked Li En to read to him.But Li En was a child who had never been to school, so he naturally didn't know him, so later on, he didn't know what his grandfather had done, but he even took out a large sum of money to send Li En to school.

His request for Li En to go to school is very simple, it is to let Li En know how to read and then teach him.

Afterwards, everything was like a dream, and Li En's life was on the right track. During the day, he learned to read at school, and at night, he taught his grandfather all the knowledge he had learned.

As for the grandfather, he always said some strange things. He seemed to pay special attention to the affairs of the Southern Dynasties, and he was always more interested in that era than other things.

At the same time, Li En discovered that his grandfather seemed to hate the daytime and the sun very much.He always huddled in a small dark room, doing something on his own until he came back from school.

Li En didn't care what his grandfather did, and he also faintly felt that something was wrong with his grandfather, but so what?As long as he could eat, it didn't matter what his grandfather did.

Later, after my grandfather finished learning the basic characters, he began to study theology. He always looked at books with weird expressions and laughed contemptuously.But after he finished laughing, he carefully put them away, his eyes pensive.

"Grandpa, why do you always read these weird and chaotic stories?"

Sometimes Li En was really curious, so he couldn't help asking.

At that time, grandfather just turned his head and looked at him for a long time, his eyes were dark and evil.It took a while before he grinned and said, "Do you believe in ghosts?"

Grandpa's question was normal, but Li En froze at that moment.He didn't know what happened, and his long-standing intuition told him that something was wrong, and that wrong place was very dangerous to him.

Li En stood where he was and didn't speak, and his grandfather wasn't annoyed, he just looked at the boy in front of him and sighed leisurely.

"Male is masculine...if only you were a girl."

Hearing this, Li En breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and quickly found an excuse to leave.When the door was closed, he looked at his grandfather in the room again, his eyes returned to the book, and he said softly, 'this is enough'.

Afterwards, a strange man came to find the grandfather.On that day, Li En felt that all the uncomfortable aura in his grandfather had disappeared. He was like a normal person who met an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and welcomed that person into that room.

At that moment, Li En subconsciously felt that his grandfather might have such a personality, but he didn't want to think deeply about why he was so weird before.

And the reason why grandfather read those strange ghost talks before was not to understand anything, on the contrary, he needed them so that someone could understand them.And now, that person is here.

The arrival of that person did not bring any changes to Li En. After the person left, his grandfather became the same as before.The following days were no different. Li En originally thought that everything would go on like this.

But when he was 11 years old, his grandfather died.

When he passed away suddenly, he was lying quietly on the bed without breathing, leaving only a lot of ghostly materials.When Li En was cleaning the room, he found a grandfather's diary and a key inside.

It seemed to be the book that my grandfather used to record information. The first few pages were full of scattered records, similar to 'March 3, XX place, harvested copper coins xx' and the like, without any specific information.

Until the last few pages, it is recorded that the grandfather discovered the tomb of General Cheng in Qunzhou, and he called three other accomplices to go to Qunzhou together.

The content is relatively normal here, until he writes 'We are going to enter the tomb tonight. ', after that, the content of the notes began to become weird.

'There is something wrong with this tomb, there may be a big discovery! '

'We found a secret passage, but we didn't expect it to lead to a cliff.There are a lot of flying insects there, be careful. '

'In order to distract the flying insects, Tie Zi died. '

'We saw a door.Behind the door is actually the main tomb of the general.I might be getting rich! '

'what happened! !Ghost! '

At this point in the diary, the word 'ghost' seems to have been crossed out on purpose.After that, the content seems to have changed a style, the handwriting has changed from rough to delicate and sharp, and it has become grandfather's handwriting.

'Not this one...where is it? '

'That kid can't do it... he's too yang.To girl, that's the only way I can open the gates of hell in the flesh...'

'They noticed it, and they had to find a way.There is one last person left...'

'...I found it. '

Notes end here.

Afterwards, Li En buried his grandfather in the back mountain, and honestly built a grave for him, but after that, he never went to worship him again.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but he forced himself not to think about it.He went to sneak a look at the man who had come to find his grandfather before, and found that he had long since passed away.

Everything about the grandfather seemed to end there.

Li En's life went back to the past.The death of his grandfather meant that he had no source of income again. When he finished primary school, he would simply go out to mix with the society again.

There is nothing to say about his subsequent experience. He has been in the society for so many years and learned the skills of stealing. Later, due to various reasons, he became the person in charge of a small factory. Li En never said much about his heartache.

Until one night when he was in his 20s, he had that strange dream.

With the strange words in the dream, and the place called Qunzhou, Li En immediately realized that the matter of his grandfather hadn't really ended yet.

He took the key left by his grandfather and met Li Ling there. At first, he didn't think that girl was different. She was just like most ordinary girls, innocent and ridiculous.On the contrary, it was another guy named Yu Lou, who had the same sense of disobedience as his grandfather, and felt fake just by looking at it.

Afterwards, the three of them finalized the plan, with Yulou preparing the props and Li En as the guide, they went to the ancient tombs of Qunzhou together.

During this period, even if Yu Lou suspected him, he never took out his grandfather's diary, he dared not, and couldn't.Once he takes it out, doesn't it mean that he knows his grandfather's secret?At that time, no one can guarantee what will happen to him without confirming his identity.

When the few of them went down to the tomb, when he was carefully looking at the main coffin, he stabbed Yu Lou with his hand as if he had been manipulated. He saw Li Ling's expression not far away.At that moment, it was as if his grandfather was alive, and he understood that Li Ling was his grandfather.

After Li Ling disappeared, Yu Lou took out the yellow talisman and his key, and he hesitated after explaining his plan and asking Li En to cooperate.

He knew better than anyone else that Yu Lou's information was wrong, and the method he thought could kill ghosts was just a false lie that his grandfather pulled out at will.

At that time, my grandfather might have thought of it a long time ago, and they would suspect that one of them was possessed by a ghost, so they would act first, making one of them think that the other was a ghost, and divert the blame.And the materials they worked hard to get together were just torn from the pages of the book by their grandfather, just to give them false hope and waste energy.

However, despite knowing this, Li En still followed Yu Lou's request.

He used to be so close to his grandfather, so he naturally knew that if he escaped now, his grandfather might find him again and kill him.

It can be said that he was raised by his grandfather and dare not gamble.

The rest of the road was exactly the same as the content in the grandfather's diary. At the cliff, Li En followed the content in the grandfather's diary, successfully dispersed the flying insects with the special liquid made from the root of the Bana flower, and walked across the bottom of the cliff.

After that, he did everything according to Yu Lou's request, and quietly waited for the arrival of the other two.

He also wanted to try those two keys, but without exception, they all failed.

If Yu Lou knew that there was a 'ghost' among the three and the function of the key, Li En naturally knew it too. He realized more deeply than Yu Lou that the function of this key might be real.

It can even be said that the moment he knew the news, the greed in his heart kept popping up, urging him to snatch another key.

But in the end, all these greedy thoughts were suppressed by the gloomy gaze of the grandfather in memory.

When he was a child, his relationship with his grandfather had left a mark on Li En's soul. He could not do anything dangerous without being 100% sure of killing his grandfather.

Therefore, he chose to stand still all the way.Obviously the person who knows the most information, but only plays the role of a tour guide.

However, there are always surprises.

The moment Yu Lou, Li Ling and another man appeared at the gate, when Li Ling obediently followed Yu Lou's words and walked towards him, Li En knew that all his previous assumptions had been shattered.

In my memory, the thing possessing my grandfather is no longer an invulnerable and mysterious existence, but that person has become compromised and obedient, as harmless as a real little girl.

But this is only the appearance.When Li Ling walked towards him, he could clearly see a trace of evil in Li Ling's eyes, she opened her mouth, but the voice was recalled in his mind.

'I'll attract all the attention for you, and you just use my key to jump into the lake and get everything you want'

'You should understand what it stands for'

Grandfather seemed to see through his whole being, his obedience before, and the greed under his skin, and put everything in front of him straightforwardly.

He knew that it was impossible for Li En to know nothing about keys, he knew how greedy Li En was for money, and he knew what kind of person Li En was in his bones, so he offered a temptation that Li En could not refuse.

That is the evil spirit bewitching his believers.

It was an opportunity to succeed and be reborn.

Li En was a little tempted.

Li Ling seemed to have given up on all previous actions, obediently followed Yu Lou's words, and was obediently shot to death by him.All this is because of the man who suddenly appeared.

During this period, Li En has been acting normally. He has been a gangster for a long time, so he is naturally proficient enough in these superficial skills.

He pretended to obey Yu Lou all the time, weakening his own role, and no one could see what he was planning.

During the conversation, Li En has been hesitating whether he really followed what Li Ling said, he wanted to ask Yu Lou about the identity of that man, but Yu Lou shunned it.But soon he saw the extraordinaryness of the man. He was startled by the speed of the man's teleportation, and then he realized that the man in front of him should not be messed with.

The original desire to use the key to master extraordinary power has quieted down, Li En understood.He couldn't handle the man in front of him.

But soon, when they were suspicious of Li En's grandfather, an accident happened, and a familiar murmur sounded in Li En's mind.

'Take my key and open the gates of hell'

'Jump into the lake and open the gates of hell'

......

The scene got out of control for a while, and the mysterious man seemed to be entangled by that existence, and couldn't care about Li En's side for a long time.

So, because of the opportunity created with all our efforts, the thoughts that had been slackened began to become active again.

Li En took advantage of his experience in fighting thieves by holding the spell, and successfully got the key in Li Ling's pocket without Yu Lou noticing it.

That was the only real key, and since grandfather was so fond of the key, it was naturally impossible for him to let the real key slip into his hands.

Afterwards, the red-eyed figure in this space dragged the man in white for him, Yu Lou was also knocked into the air and fainted on the way to escape to the door, Li En had a complicated expression, and finally ran towards the water's edge.

In his mind, the whispers from before were still recounting, and Li En's expression gradually became crazy.

If there is a chance to live forever, why not take a gamble?

If there is a chance to change the fate of one's life and use the ghost to control everything, why not take a gamble?

I'm fed up with being looked down upon all the time, I'm fed up with doing nothing all my life.

Li En looked crazy and jumped into the lake decisively.

When he was young, the situation of hunger and cold still echoed in his mind, and Li En swam towards the center of the lake with all his strength. As long as he opened the gate, he could use the power of the key to obtain non-human abilities, and he could control thousands of ghosts.

Li En pulled out a crazy smile, he was a gangster in the first place, so for this opportunity, he had to take a gamble no matter what.
