Chapter 213 Today is the Day to Kill the God

Bai Zhi is 19 years old this year. After stealing her understanding of herself through Taiyi’s rules, Ning Zhe has personally experienced her complete 19 years of life from childhood to adulthood.

After having one nightmare after another, Ning Zhe has more or less mastered some patterns of these dreams.

In the mental hospital, Bai Zhi woke up as a patient in the hospital bed.

In the vacant villa, she became a gardener who entered the villa to maintain the flowers and plants.

In the hospital, she is a nurse; in the funeral home, she is a corpse lying in the freezer… Every time she enters a strange event, Bai Zhi will gain a new identity in her dream, and in Hejia Village, her identity is ‘He Nianjun’.

He Nianjun is the youngest daughter of ‘Mr. He’, a landlord in Hejia Village. She has two older sisters and is the third child in the family. The villagers in Hejia Village call her ‘the third girl’. The eldest and second girls have already married the snake god grandmother, and this year it is her turn.

With the experience gained from past dreams, Bai Zhi quickly figured out the rules of Hejia Village:

The Hejia Village enshrines a snake god, and all the villagers believe in him. The snake god’s believers rely on the almanac hung on the snake god’s tongue to seek good luck and avoid misfortune. Doing auspicious things allowed by the snake god will bring good luck, and violating the snake god’s taboos will bring bad luck.

Once every twelve years, during the Year of the Snake, the Hejia Village would offer an unmarried woman to the Snake God as a reward for his help in bringing good fortune and avoiding misfortune over the past twelve years.

He Nianjun’s eldest sister and second sister both married the Snake God, and this year it is her turn.

The snake god has a gentle personality and will not take people’s lives easily. Even if a taboo is violated, it is just bad luck. As long as the situation does not happen three times, there will be no danger to life. Bai Zhi hid in He Nianjun’s boudoir and lived safely until the end of the dream and woke up from the bed in her room.

Bai Zhi is not very curious, nor does she like taking risks. She is a coward. She has spent every nightmare like this before. After she has understood the rules, she will immediately find a safe place to hide until she wakes up from the nightmare. Then the matter will be over.

But this time is different.

After waking up from Hejia Village, she went to school and came home from school as usual, ate and rested, fell asleep peacefully in the bed of her room, and then returned to Hejia Village again and became He Nianjun.

This was the first time that Bai Zhi had dreamt of the same scene repeatedly, and this time when she entered Hejia Village, the “good and bad” in the village had changed.

After checking the almanac, she discovered that one day had passed in reality, but three days had passed in the Hejia Village in her dream.

At this time, there were still three months before He Nianjun was sacrificed to the Snake God.

In the following half month, Bai Zhi dreamed of the same scene again and again. Every time she fell asleep, the time in Hejia Village changed, and the day of the grand banquet for the Snake God was getting closer.

Bai Zhi tried to stay up late to avoid nightmares, but it was no use. After staying up late for three days, she fell asleep with difficulty and felt uneasy. She suddenly realized that nine days had passed in Hejia Village.

She also tried to cry to her parents in her dream as He Nianjun, asking them not to sacrifice her to the snake god, but those so-called parents did not move at all, as if they were dead. The yellow paper on their faces could not see their facial features, and she could not hear any response.

Bai Zhi tried everything she could think of, but to no avail. Only time passed.

Until one day later, on October 2017, 10, Bai Zhi once again fell asleep with difficulty in anxiety. She woke up in her boudoir as He Nianjun, but received unexpected news.

The snake god is crazy.

“Taiyi is here.” Ning Zhe said to himself.

Neither the villagers of Hejia Village nor Baizhi knew why the snake god became mad, but Ningzhe knew it. Therefore, what happened later was bizarre to Baizhi, but easy to understand for him.

The wandering ghost from outside came to Hejia Village. It was too easy to wander around the houses in the village and stole the identity and power of the Snake God from the villagers. This was the reason why the Snake God became crazy.

The snake god, whose power was partially stolen by Taiyi, lost his left eye. From then on, there were only bad luck and no good luck in the almanac. Everyone in the chaotic Hejia Village was in danger, and they didn’t even have an accurate idea of ​​when to sacrifice the third girl to the snake god.

The nightmare started in Hejia Village and ended with the madness of the snake god. Since then, Bai Zhi has not had nightmares for a long time. Until a year later in 2018, her father went to Qinzhou to discuss a business, and took her and her mother with him. The family of three came to Gubei Town thousands of miles away.

In the Bishuiwan Manor outside Gubei Town, Baizhi once again dreamed of Hejia Village.

This time, she saw the death of the snake god.

Bai Zhi didn’t know what would happen if she was sacrificed to the Snake God in her dream, because this thing did not happen after all. At the wedding, she saw the broken body of the Snake God, and a bloody magpie came out of it. A young man stood up from the body of the Snake God and committed the biggest taboo of Hejia Village.

He opened the almanac for tomorrow.

Then came the events of the Bishuiwan Manor, and her journey from Gubei Town to Taoyuan City with Ning Zhe to search for her missing mother. 19 years of life is short, but it is unexpectedly long against the backdrop of the nightmare.

In the evening, the plane landed at the airport in the west of Taoyuan City. Ning Zhe didn’t bring any luggage and got off the plane empty-handed.

Reading Bai Zhi’s memories helped him solve some of his doubts, but it also added some new ones.

Taiyi is not a native of Hejia Village, but a wandering ghost from outside. So where did he come from? Is he a naturally occurring wandering ghost, or was he artificially placed in Hejia Village like Terang?
Ning Zhe didn’t know the answer.

It has only been two months since he became an ascender. This bizarre and strange world has only revealed a tiny part of it to him, while everything else is shrouded in mystery.

“I can’t let the messy information disturb my mind. I have to solve the problem at hand first.”

Ning Zhe walked out of the airport, looked at the night color on the horizon and took a deep breath. He did not forget the purpose of returning to Qinzhou.

Yu Ziqian controlled two ghosts in total.

One of them is [Ye Yao], which can simultaneously damage the opponent’s body by damaging the shadow.

The second is the “God Who Cannot Be Looked At Directly” who can leave a mark of one’s thoughts.

Among them, Ye Yao was killed in reverse by Feng Yuxu using special rules and became a part of her self-completion, while the God Who Cannot Be Looked At Directly disappeared in a hurry after the death of the host, disappearing without a trace, and no one could find where He went.

However, as time went by, Ning Zhe’s understanding of the rules of thought stamping gradually deepened, and he gradually realized one thing:
God has never left, and God has never disappeared.

He is simply ‘unfolded’.

After Yu Ziqian’s death, the unrestrained ‘God’ was expanded in the real world on a macro scale. With Taoyuan City, where the host died, as the center, His rules covered a vast area.

Under his influence, the crime rate in the area centered on Taoyuan City began to soar:
——A garment factory employee who was framed killed his supervisor, a programmer who worked overtime all year round violently beat up his boss, a girl who did not perform well in the exam committed suicide at home, and a man who was falsely photographed on the subway stabbed the woman who framed him to death on the spot…

The momentary impulses of these people were solidified into ideological imprints by the power of God, turning into incredible criminal motives.

Everything that happened in the past was caused by God.

All that happens in the future will end with me.

Ning Zhe put on a mask, letting the ferocious evil spirit with green face and fangs cover his bookish face, and his tall figure slowly disappeared into the night.

It’s time to kill ‘God’.
