Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1971: Chapter 1969: Past Lives and Memories

In the evening, the two went out to find a spiritual body for their experiment, and indeed they encountered one.

Most spiritual bodies, except those particularly persistent and with strong spiritual power, like Lin Qinghuan, have deep obsessions in their hearts, allowing them to remember their past lives. However, some don’t remember anything and just drift alone in the wild or in certain areas.

Gu Qiaoqiao also finally realized that spiritual bodies aren’t formed just by gathering; ones like Lin Qinghuan are indeed unusual. Most newborn spiritual bodies, after existing for some time, either disappear into thin air due to certain reasons or are consumed by older spiritual bodies.

Thus, newborn spiritual bodies are not many.

The spiritual body they encountered, after Gu Junbai uncovered his sealed past, remembered everything himself. At this moment, he was silently crying there, even though spiritual bodies don’t shed tears. But the tears he shed seemed like faint mist surrounding him, carrying an indescribable feeling of heaviness and sadness.

He was a young man, only twenty-two years old at the time of his death.

He was a cashier at a factory in Wangbei County Town, which is 180 miles away from here.

He graduated from an old vocational school with a major in accounting and was married for just one year; when he died, his wife was seven months pregnant.

They had a great relationship, experiencing ups and downs from knowing each other to falling in love. But unexpectedly, he left this world forever before he could even see his child.

The day he died was the payday at the factory, as the country’s finances were tight, the wages had been delayed for a month. But since the Spring Festival was approaching, the higher-ups considered the lives of more than a thousand people in the factory, so they filed reports layer by layer, and finally got approval to issue two months’ wages plus bonuses before the Spring Festival, which was quite a substantial amount, enough for each employee to have a satisfying Spring Festival.

He was a cashier; at that time, wages weren’t deposited into bank accounts or stored on cards. Everyone received cash, together with a detailed pay slip.

So Chen Cheng, as the cashier, took two security guards from the factory to the bank in the county town to withdraw money.

In a large factory with more than a thousand employees, two months’ wages plus bonuses amounted to nearly 70,000 yuan, filling up a big black leather bag.

After all, it was considered a huge sum at that time.

Thus, the factory sent not only security guards but also a car, which was actually the usual practice; it had been done this way for decades, but this time something went wrong.

One of the security guards was his classmate, whom he had helped find a way into the factory.

The concept of security guards of that era was completely different from those in the 1990s; they were like militia, responsible for maintaining security and upholding justice within the factory.

Within the factory, there was a specific department called the Security Department.

These two were members of the Security Department.

These two might have planned early, or perhaps evil thoughts suddenly arose. Their factory was of a chemical nature, naturally not located within the county town but in the outskirts. From the bank to their chemical factory, there was a stretch of sparsely populated woodland to pass.

Thus a tragedy occurred; the two conspired to kill him, then buried him in the woodland. Afterward, they fabricated a crime scene, injuring themselves, since they were from the Security Department, although not equivalent to real police, they had undergone special training, therefore their skills in doing this were proficient.

At that time, he condensed into a spiritual body; perhaps, at the moment of his death, his overwhelming anger and unwillingness turned into a strong obsession, transforming him into a spiritual body, watching them fabricate the scene with open eyes, watching them call the people from the factory, and then watching as everyone concluded he took the opportunity to harm the two members of the Security Department, and absconded with the money.

In fact, there were glaring loopholes, but since the two inflicted wounds upon themselves, and he was neither seen alive nor found dead, with the enormous sum of money also disappearing, even nationwide pursuit could only result in an unresolved case since he was dead, and the money was gone.

And he seemed to be confined by something, unable to follow them to the county town to see how his family was doing, how his wife was? Whether his unborn child had grown up...

He knew nothing of these; he not only couldn’t enter the county town, but he couldn’t even return to the crime scene, and then one day, he suddenly forgot everything.

He didn’t know whether those two from the Security Department received any punishment or continued to roam free; all of these were unknown to him.

He couldn’t come out during the day, only at night, wandering across this grassland for twenty years.

This is a sad and heavy story.

Gu Qiaoqiao listened with tears blurring her vision.

No wonder her uncle wanted her to only learn the First Layer back then. But out of helplessness, she learned the Second Layer, and now, after mastering the Third Layer, Gu Qiaoqiao understood the true significance of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation.

She felt really uncomfortable, knowing that there is too much injustice in this world.

Just like her past life: family shattered, loved ones dying one after another, while the people who harmed them enjoyed their wealth and prestige with peace of mind. Although eventually, they faced bad ends, for Ning Wanru and Lin Fanpeng, even though their deaths were tragic, they still lived decades of affluent lives.

In that timeline, her Great Grandma went to her grave without ever knowing who she really was, living a life of hardship, and her family was no different.

Sometimes it’s not that people like deceiving themselves; seeing too much darkness burdens one’s heart, much like how Gu Qiaoqiao felt heavy and oppressed when she first returned through rebirth, then gradually regained her balance.

Gu Junbai’s face was calm, silently watching the tear-stained Gu Qiaoqiao and the spiritual body in front of him.

He knew Qiaoqiao might have recalled past events.

In fact, he was a bit selfish; he didn’t want Qiaoqiao to walk this path. But there was no choice; the circumstances forced her to traverse this road, so Gu Qiaoqiao must undergo her second transformation in life.

Which means from this moment forward, she must bear the responsibilities she ought to shoulder.

Now, the scattered Mystic Sect perhaps needs to gradually gather together from here onward.

He coughed lightly, and only then did Gu Qiaoqiao snap out of it, hurriedly wiping away her tears. Gu Junbai, observing the indescribably sad and angry spiritual body, asked in a deep voice, "Chen Cheng, tell me, what is your wish?"
