Dying In The Male Lead’s Arms Every Time I Transmigrate

Chapter 98 Shi Qi’s Father

The system’s previous words made her too nervous.

Of course, she had merely said the word flag in her head. If she were to say it out loud and it became a reality, wouldn’t she have jinxed herself?

Shi Qi stood up, holding the small wooden stele in his hand, “Go ahead.”

As he said this, he released another piece of talisman paper. The talisman paper turned into a bird on the ground. It then spread its yellow wings and flew forward.

Cheng Xianwei thought that seeing the talisman paper by itself was already pretty amazing but the sight of this nearly made his eyes pop out.

The talisman was even capable of turning into a sparrow by itself.

He swallowed. Sure enough, there were many strange people in the world, and there will always be things beyond his imagination. Just take the black stone tablet just now, which had melted in Shi Qi’s hands, it was not something ordinary people would see in their daily life.

Cheng Xianwei guessed that Ning Meng’s sudden discomfort was also related to what had happened just now.

How could she dare to leave? With the way she was right now, she was afraid that she would be killed directly by someone before she could even leave this place. How could there be any place safer than Shi Qi’s side?

Besides…with the test she had done previously, it was already enough for her to realize her own feelings.

Ning Meng replied with a soft voice, “I won’t.”

Shi Qi said, “That’s good.”

After passing by a field of grass, they gradually approached closer and closer to the foot of the mountain, and the trees inside began to increase in density, but what was strange was that there were no animals in the area.

There weren’t even any chirping of insects, the silence eerily deafening.

Cheng Xianwei suddenly said, “Why does this mountain feel a little familiar?”

On his way here, even though the scenery was unfamiliar to him, every time he looked up, he would get an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and this feeling only continued to grow stronger.

When the company did the inspection, they didn’t even discover this place so he was certain that he hadn’t come here before, which was why he found it strange.

The next person quickly replied, “I feel a very strong sense of nostalgia, as if I’ve seen this somewhere before, but I’m not really sure why.”

“Did I remember wrongly? I have definitely never come here before.”

It was only after they finished speaking that Shi Qi calmly said, “This is Mount Yan.”

As soon as his voice fell, Cheng Xianwei asked incredulously, “Is this really Mount Yan?”

Mount Yan was the closest mountain to the city and its altitude was not the highest in the capital, but it was still the most famous. After all, it has been very famous since ancient times. There was an emperor who wanted to build an imperial tomb on it, but for some reason, was unable to at the very end.

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the country developed the front of the mountain as a scenic spot, so there were quite a lot of tourists each year. It could be said to be a very famous scenic spot.

“The back of Mount Yan.” Shi Qi said.

Cheng Xianwei couldn’t help saying, “No wonder I thought the surroundings looked familiar. It turned out to be Mount Yan.”

Mount Yan’s Feng Shui was very good, otherwise, the emperor would not have wanted to build the imperial mausoleum here. Even though it wasn’t successfully built in the end, it was enough to prove that fact.

The backside of the mountain was not as developed which was probably why it was used for this reason.

Yet Ning Meng’s gaze remained fixated on Shi Qi’s left hand.

The wooden stele was in his hand and the closer they got to this side, the darker its color turned. When they reached the foot of the mountain, it had completely turned black and became a small tablet again.

Her name was still very brightly engraved on it, but the depth of it had become shallower.

The more they walked further in, the more she felt a sense of discomfort and chill creeping in, but the feeling was very faint. Moreover, warmth would transmit from Shi Qi’s hand so she did not feel uncomfortable.

Shi Qi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He remained fixed in place, his eyes narrowed, and then, he took out the wooden stele.

For some reason, the wooden stele started dripping blood. Along with this change, the grass on the ground that was dripped with blood, withered in the blink of an eye and turned into ashes at the slightest touch.

Shi Qi threw the wooden stele away expressionlessly, bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.

When the wooden tablet came into contact with his blood again, as if they were incompatible, it shook back and forth as if it had a life of its own.

Ning Meng only felt her view turn blurry for a while, as if she was seeing a mirage, and a man-made road suddenly appeared in front of her.

Cheng Xianwei was too shocked to even say anything.

Clearly, someone must have already been here before.

Shi Qi’s gaze turned serious, and he squeezed her hand tightly. The soft sensation was very clear, and he could feel warmth from it, reminding him of her existence.

He had studied for so many years, all for this day.

When he was discussing this with Shi Shanjin in the beginning, Shi Shanjin also didn’t have an answer but had given him a lot of information, even including handwritten notes left by his grandfather.

Shi Shanjin was consciously aware that he had no talent. The previous Patriarch of the Shi family was very capable, and the level had dropped when time came for him to take up the role. The most talented person in this generation of the Shi Family was Shi Qi, so he expected him to be able to understand it.

And he was right, Shi Qi did not take a long time to figure out the things written on the note.

After Shi Shanjin passed the Shi family over to him, he took the initiative to hide behind the scenes, occasionally giving advice about the company matters.

Shi Qi calmly voiced, “Follow this road.”

The road was very long, its end far from sight. The area further in was covered with lush trees, making it impossible to see what was up ahead.

The group of people hit the road.

About halfway through, Shi Qi turned his head and asked, “Tell me some information about Lu Yuqi and Li Yueru.”

Cheng Xianwei quickly reported the information he found. After Lu Yuqi and Li Yueru died, he naturally wanted to find out the relevant information. And the person he previously looked to do the job before, also needed their birth date and other information.

He still remembered everything clearly, and could even recite it from memory.

“A master told me before that the two people’s eight characters were ill-matched. At that time, I thought he was a cheat.” Cheng Xianwei suddenly remembered this.

Shi Qi responded, “He’s right, they’re ill-matched.”

People whose eight characters don’t match generally don’t stay together. Even if they were together, they would become prone to troubles. Aside from that, there was another thing to note.

As long as you found one person, and pin down the two of them together, they’ll mutually restrict each other and provide a balancing effect.

Shi Qi looked at the dazed Ning Meng standing beside him.

She was precisely that person.

Ning Meng’s fate was very special. Not only was she a yin girl, but her birth date was also very special. She was ill and well-matched with many people, which could mean several things.

It was no wonder someone wanted her.

Shi Qi’s eyes flashed with a treacherous light. How could he let other people covet his person? To have lost her in front of him twice, he wouldn’t let it happen a third time. He wouldn’t let the other person off easily.

After a long time had passed, the end of the road could finally be seen.

Hidden among the leaves was a narrow hole that allowed only one person to pass through. The group of people walked in slowly, and the inside suddenly opened up, a big space appearing into view.

Not far from them was a large platform, and there were several things on the top of the platform, the air suffused with an indescribable scent.

Ning Meng watched the dense black air drift about in this cave, especially on the platform. It was completely black, making her unable to see anything.

Yet there was an odd smell that was like a mixture of scents, making it very hard to distinguish, but she reckoned that there was probably the scent of blood in it.

Cheng Xianwei pointed to the platform in confusion, and asked, “What’s written on it?”

He simply couldn’t see anything clearly at all, but it looked like a person was standing over there. When such a thought popped out, his heart turned cold. It couldn’t be a ghost right…

Shi Qi didn’t answer him, and pinched his nose, “The scent of the corpse is too strong.”

He waved his hand, holding onto a few talismans which burned in the air, illuminating the entire cave. This displayed the platform in full view for everyone. Immediately, the originally curious people backed away.

Ning Meng’s face was also pale.

There were several corpses on the top of the platform, all of which were sitting there, with their backs against the wall of the cave, heads down and clothes on. Their flesh was already starting to decay, appearing quite ghastly.

The one in the middle was apparently a male corpse and there were two female corpses on each of his sides, their long hair had already fallen off, leaving a few strands intact. The hair sparsely hung down, and because of their rotted flesh, their appearances were indistinguishable.

The mountain wall behind them was painted with many weird patterns, all outlined in blood, and looking at it for a long time would render anyone dizzy. Apart from that side, the surroundings looked as if they were stained in blood, appearing terrifyingly red.

Ning Meng looked at Shi Qi, only to realize that his face was pale.

It was the first time she saw him with an expression like this and it looked very ugly, she couldn’t help being scared. Something wouldn’t have happened right…

Moreover, she could feel the force used on her wrist growing stronger and stronger.

Ning Meng secretly asked the system, “What the heck is going on? What happened here?”

The system quickly gave her an answer, “The pattern on this is indeed painted with blood. A long time has already passed but some of the traces are still fresh, which means that every time he takes a soul, he would have to make a new drawing.”

It then paused for a second and continued, “Do you see the corpses over there? According to my information, that male corpse in the middle is Shi Qi’s father.”

The youngest son of the Shi Family, Shi Shanxing.

Ning Meng’s eyes were full of shock, and it took a long time for her to process what was going on, “Then what’s happening? Why are there so many corpses left here?”

She remembered that Shi Qi’s father had already passed away at the beginning of the novel and the ending never mentioned him, but she didn’t expect to see him here and find out he was treated like this.

The system replied, “They’re about to become zombies.”

****

I never expected this.
