When Su Xiaolu woke up, she felt weak. She wanted to raise her hand, but she couldn’t. There was a suffocating smell in the room.
Su Xiaolu quickly asked Su Kuo, “Little Kuo, Little Kuo, what happened?”
Su Kuo lived in Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness. He quickly replied, “Sister, this woman committed suicide by burning charcoal. I’ll give you some spiritual energy now. Hurry up and open the window to get some air.”
Su Xiaolu did not have time to think. After regaining some strength, she immediately jumped off the bed and pushed open the window of the room. She opened the door and opened all the windows from the bedroom to the living room. Then, she went to the washroom to get water to extinguish the charcoal basin.
Then, she sat on the balcony of the living room.
After she calmed down a little, Su Kuo said, “Sister, do you want to accept the memories now?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. She still did not know why this woman committed suicide. It was more important to understand the situation first.
When she glanced at herself in the washroom just now, she saw that this girl was not ugly. She even had makeup on. She just did not know why she had committed suicide.
What desperate situation had she encountered?
Su Kuo fused the memories of the original host into Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness. Su Xiaolu held her forehead and waited for this uncomfortable emotion to pass before she slowly sorted it out.
The original host’s name was Yi Lei. She was a C-list actress in the entertainment industry and had a beautiful figure. It had not been easy for her to get to this point. About half a year ago, she had started to get unlucky and the script she had agreed on had to be changed. It was not easy for her to take on a web drama, but the male lead had attracted some scandal.
She began to gain weight for no reason. Her figure was out of shape. This was fatal to a female celebrity. Coupled with other obvious comparisons, Yi Lei was often scolded.
Her resources were decreasing rapidly. Her manager also asked her to take care of herself first and did not give her any work. Yi Lei was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do. As long as she was unlucky, she would be in trouble no matter what.
Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be so anxious. She tried her best to work because she had a debt on her. If she didn’t work, the huge debt would crush her. She tried to please her manager and wanted to work, but her manager accepted some business performances for opening days or weddings. This step wasn’t good for her. This way, it would be impossible for her to step up. But for the money, she went anyway.
Just because her private photos were in the other party’s hands, she could not bear the consequences of the other party’s exposure.
But even so, luck was not on her side. Her ex-boyfriend’s computer was damaged, and the maintenance staff exposed the stored photos. Immediately, it caused a frenzy, and she became the target of public criticism.
No one scolded the scumbag. They only said that she deserved it. It took two to tango.
Yi Lei did not even dare to leave the house. She did not dare to see anyone or go online.
When the manager called, he also scolded her. There was no comfort, only scolding. He blamed her for taking those photos.
Yi Lei explained that he had secretly taken it. The manager did not believe it, and no one else believed it either. She mustered up her courage to explain online, and it attracted even more infamy.
Yi Lei had not reached the last stage with her ex-boyfriend, but no one believed it. She could not defend herself.
After a few months of muddle-headedness, her manager found her and said that he had accepted a popular live-stream variety show for her.
This variety show was the last straw for Yi Lei because it was called ‘Me and My Ex-boyfriend’.
Yi Lei was unwilling to go, but the manager only told her that he had already signed it and that she would have to compensate him if she did not go.
She didn’t have the money to pay, so she was forced to go. The variety show was tomorrow, so she chose to commit suicide tonight. She even kept the will she had written with tears in her eyes. She couldn’t accept being examined while she was alive, but she could do it when she was dead.
Su Xiaolu sighed. It was really tragic.
“Little Kuo, why is she so miserable?”
Su Xiaolu felt that something was wrong. Yi Lei had been like a jinx for the past six months. She could not do anything well. Humans were lucky. In the end, when the luck dissipated, only death was left.
Su Kuo said to Su Xiaolu, “Sister, that’s because her luck has been sucked away. Something that shouldn’t be here has appeared in this world. It attaches to people and grows day by day. In the end, it will affect this world. Yi Lei is just one of them. She’s the first to die, which is why we can get to her.”
“Something that shouldn’t be here? What is it?”
Su Xiaolu caught the main point and asked.
“It’s just like the space that Sister has, but there’s a difference. Sister’s space doesn’t have intelligence. It belongs to Sister, so it will always belong to Sister. And these things that destroy the world have intelligence. In the world, they rely on the host to absorb luck. From humans to the fate of the country, in the end, they would harm the world and cause the world to collapse. I don’t know who owns this thing, so I can only rely on Sister to find and observe.”
Su Kuo explained to Su Xiaolu that it was not easy to repair the world. If they could not find it, the mission would fail and the world would be destroyed.
“What will happen to the world if we don’t find it or fail?”
Su Xiaolu was also very curious. This mission did not sound easy.
“Sister, do you know about the end of the world? When we can’t repair the world, the world will repair itself, which is to restart. It might be a landslide or a third species descending. When the end of the world comes, that thing will naturally abandon this world and find a new goal, and the end of the world is the worst outcome.”
Su Kuo sighed. That was the outcome he did not want to see the most, but this had happened many times in his inheritance.
In such an apocalypse, the world would wail. The guardians would be in pain, as if their hearts were being torn apart.
People in the world were also wailing in pain. They did not know why this was happening. In fact, this outcome was already the result of the Guardians’ all-out efforts. In order to protect time, they would even choose to kill some suspicious people when they had no choice. They would bear sins, but there was no way out. Even if they bore sins, they had to give it one last try.
“Little Kuo, logically speaking, the person who obtained something they shouldn’t have should be especially different, right?”
Su Xiaolu thought for a moment and asked Su Kuo.
Su Kuo also sighed. “Logically speaking, that’s right. However, my predecessors have also encountered many misjudgments. I haven’t done a mission before, so I don’t know what’s right. This is because many people who obtained the Golden Finger will do many good deeds and gain a lot of fame. Only when the development of the evil creature is stopped will the situation change. Only then will the Golden Finger conflict with the host. Only then will we have a chance to remove the Golden Finger that shouldn’t exist.”
Golden Finger. He called this thing that shouldn’t be here a Golden Finger.
Once the Golden Finger was bound to the host, it wouldn’t reveal its ambition. Instead, it would make the host better, so good that the entire world knew about it. Only then would it be easier for the Golden Finger to absorb fame, merit, and luck. It would only end when the world couldn’t take it anymore and a calamity descended to restart.
And even at that moment, no one would know that the destruction of the world was actually related to a ‘good person’ that the world knew.
“He” seemed to be helping others, but in fact, he didn’t. This was because even if “he” did many good deeds, the people “he” helped would only become worse and worse. And because “he” was good, those whose luck had been sucked away and suffered would forever be grateful to “him”..
