Chapter 265 – Backlash and Loss
But she didn’t.
She didn’t care.
Not until that gang grew stronger, not until the Shen family she was in needed official support did she think about it.
Lin Wangshu, perhaps at the beginning, just wanted to accumulate a great merit.
If she had reported it from the start, that merit would have been just an ordinary embellishment for her, unable to really help her, or even become her protective talisman in the future.
But during these ten years, those who suffered and lost their homes because of this, they could never go back.
Fortunately, fortunately, she happened to encounter it today and reported it to the police.
That man was also caught.
Believing that gang would also be dismantled.
Those who would be persecuted in the plot should be able to avoid this calamity now.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinning’s mood improved suddenly.
Then she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Because of this incident today, Xu Jinning’s nerves had been tense all day, but now that the outcome was basically determined, her heart could finally relax.
This relaxation, even though the sleeping environment was somewhat unfamiliar, she still fell into a deep sleep.
What Xu Jinning didn’t know was that at the moment she fell asleep.
She didn’t know how many unseen streams of golden-purple light were converging from all over the world onto her.
One after another, these streams of light entered her body.
That’s the golden light of merit, as well as countless cannon fodder whose destinies have been changed by Xu Jinning in the present and future, offering their gifts and blessings to Xu Jinning.
It’s also because of these things that Xu Jinning’s luck has become even stronger.
That’s luck, and in fact, it’s also Xu Jinning’s golden light of merit.
…
“Golden light of merit, who is it!”
In the train that continued to slowly travel in the dark night, Murong Jing, who was originally resting with her eyes closed, suddenly sat up straight and looked out the window.
Others might not be able to see it.
But Murong Jing could.
Those streams of golden-purple light, coming from various places in the world, going somewhere.
This was the first time Murong Jing had seen such a scene.
She was shocked and somewhat incredulous.
How could someone gather golden light of merit like this?
That’s the golden light of merit!
So many streams of golden light of merit, constantly flowing, if she didn’t know better, she’d think that person had saved the world.
If she didn’t know better, she’d think someone was about to become a god.
Murong Jing looked at those streams of golden light of merit, feeling excited and envious.
If only those golden lights of merit could be hers.
Should she try?
Try if she could intercept this golden light of merit onto her body?
Maybe she could succeed.
But Murong Jing couldn’t resist, she wanted to try.
So, in the darkness, Murong Jing’s hands, in front of her chest, made complex gestures, and then one finger pointed towards the direction of that golden light of merit.
A black light emitted from Murong Jing’s fingertip, heading towards where the light was flowing.
Go on, intercept it.
As long as she could intercept it, then…
That black light quickly reached the place where the streams of golden-purple light were.
It surged in violently, as if opening a big mouth, trying to devour the golden light.
And it did.
But just the next moment.
Murong Jing’s eyes widened suddenly.
Then, she saw that black light being forcefully pushed away, and then it dissipated.
Suddenly, Murong Jing felt a sharp pain in her chest, and then a bloody, metallic taste filled her throat.
She couldn’t hold back, a mouthful of blood spurted out from Murong Jing’s mouth.
Murong Jing also made a muffled groan.
“What’s wrong?” The old lady who was sleeping next to Murong Jing was suddenly awakened by Murong Jing’s actions.
She felt like there was something hot in her hands that were originally placed on her knees.
She lifted her hands and sniffed, immediately smelling the distinct rusty odor of blood.
Of course, that blood wasn’t hers. It must have been from the girl next to her.
At this moment, there was a light outside the train, and the train interior also dimly lit up.
The old lady also noticed something wrong with the girl next to her.
She was kind-hearted.
She quickly got up and called, “Comrade steward, comrade steward…”
“Hurry, there’s something wrong with this girl here.”
“It seems like she’s vomiting blood.”
The old lady’s voice was loud, immediately waking up the people around who were originally sleeping, and of course, the staff hurriedly came over.
Meanwhile, Murong Jing was feeling very unwell.
She felt dizzy and her chest hurt.
Murong Jing knew she had messed up.
That golden-purple light of merit, given to that person, must have come from someone with extremely strong luck.
And she, trying to snatch the golden light of merit, naturally suffered a backlash.
She felt really bad.
The stability of the soul she had previously obtained by exchanging the lifespans of those two old people was now completely gone.
Murong Jing could sense that the original soul in her body was waking up and trying to snatch control from her.
Before, she could use her strong spiritual and mental power to suppress the original soul.
But now…
The backlash from the golden light of merit had injured her soul.
She couldn’t compete with the original owner anymore.
The next moment, Murong Jing’s body suddenly shook, then her eyes closed, and she completely passed out.
When she woke up again, no one noticed that Murong Jing’s gaze had softened…
*
Later that night, at the same time, someone else was startled awake from their sleep.
That person was Lin Wangshu, who was in Haishi.
Lin Wangshu sat on the bed, with a lingering sense of fear in her eyes.
She had just had a nightmare, but she had forgotten what it was about.
Only the fear remained deep in her heart.
Moreover…
Lin Wangshu, for some reason, had a bad premonition.
She felt like she had lost something very important inexplicably.
Something that originally belonged to her.
But now, that thing was lost.
However…
Lin Wangshu only had this feeling.
She had no idea what that thing was.
Or how important it was.
Even though she didn’t know what that thing was.
Lin Wangshu knew that if she could get it, her future would definitely be better, her prospects would definitely advance further.
And losing this thing.
Lin Wangshu felt that her once confident future was becoming more and more uncertain.
“What is it exactly?”
“What should I do to get that thing back?”
Lin Wangshu muttered to herself.
Sitting on the bed, she pondered for a good half an hour but still couldn’t figure it out.
Actually, Lin Wangshu’s intuition was correct.
She had indeed lost something very important.
It was the man with the loaches.
Now that he was caught, it meant that their gang no longer had the possibility of further development.
It also meant that Lin Wangshu would no longer be able to use this gang in ten years to exchange for her protective talisman.
That was something that could ensure Lin Wangshu and the future Shen family’s smooth journey in the mainland.
Wasn’t that very important!
But Lin Wangshu was destined to lose it!
Of course, at this moment, Lin Wangshu still didn’t know that more of what originally belonged to her would gradually be lost.
But in reality, those things didn’t truly belong to her.
Fate was just making her go back to being an ordinary person again.
An ordinary person without the protagonist halo!
