Chapter 1 I'm Not Dead

Beicheng, late at night.

The crescent moon is red and curved like a strange smiling face.

In suburban villa areas, every inch of land is at a premium.

In one of the villas, the lights in a bedroom flickered and then went out after a few seconds.

There was a figure hiding in the corner in the darkness, shivering and mumbling something.

Tick, tick.

The toilet door shook slightly, and the sound of water droplets suddenly sounded in the bedroom.

There were many strange and unreal voices whispering, laughing and crying: "Xu Bai...Xu, Bai~!"

The figure in the darkness froze instantly, not even daring to make a sound.

In silence, all sounds are amplified.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

"boom."

After a soft sound, the bedroom lights came back on.

The girl's room was bright and tidy, and none of the strange things just seemed to have happened. Only the stuffed doll that should have been at the bedside sat in front of the dressing mirror for some reason, tilting its head.

**

"Sister! Sister, wake up!" Lin Yiyao ran into the bedroom with his parents, threw himself on the bed and cried loudly, but his hand touched Lin Xubai's collarbone that was covered by clothes to make sure that the thing was still there.

Now, I started crying again.

Lin Xubai was lying next to the bed in a white dress. Her eyes were closed and she looked like she was sleeping soundly. However, her face was pale and she no longer looked like a living person. She had long since lost all vital signs.

Lin Rong and Zhou Shasha saw that their daughter, who was lively and vigorous yesterday, was now cold and her face was not much better, but she was still indifferent after all.

This daughter, who was found in the Lin family on the way, has nothing but good looks. She is a loser. In addition, she is not familiar with her, so she is not as close as Lin Yiyao.

Moreover, since Lin Xubai returned to the Lin family, business has been deteriorating day by day, and her family members have even gotten sick from time to time. In their eyes, she is like a broom star.

Zhou Shasha stepped forward and hugged Lin Yiyao, taking her away from Lin Xubai.

"Xu Bai's fate is not good, let's send her away quietly." Broom Star was already possessed by bad luck, and it was even worse after she died, so it was better not to let Yi Yao come into contact with her for too long.

Lin Yiyao sobbed and wiped away tears. Lin Rong stared at the person on the bed for a long time, and finally sighed.

No one cares how Lin Xubai died.

It was just a medium-sized funeral. Leaders from all walks of life came to pay a visit, and the funeral turned into a social gathering.

They just pretend to be sad and continue to live their lives after leaving.

There was only one person standing beside the ice coffin without moving.

The man is in a suit and leather shoes, with handsome features, but at the same time he is handsome, and his temperament is very special, with a contradictory feeling of gentleness and alienation.

When Lu Jin's eyes passed over the beautiful face in the ice coffin, he did not stop too long, but fell on the small jade that Lin Xubai wore on his collarbone.

A very simple style, round with a circle of holes in the middle.

It is placed on top of the clothes, very neatly.

Everyone only dared to look at Lu Jin secretly and did not dare to approach him and strike up a conversation.

"Do Master Lu and Lin Xubai know each other? Why did he stand there for so long?"

"Who knows? We should pay less attention to Mr. Lu's affairs!"

"It's strange to say that most people should have body spots appearing a few hours after death. Miss Lin seems to have no other signs except that her face is pale."

"Shh, stop talking, it's scary."

The discussion was so quiet that no one noticed them.

The funeral ended the day before, and Lin Xubai was sent to the cremation ground the next day.

Not stopping for a moment.

At this time, Xu Bai's consciousness was gradually returning. She could feel herself being lifted up and placed on a cold board, like a steel plate. It was so cold that it made people numb, but she could not move or speak.

The embalmer was shocked for a moment when he saw Lin Xubai's appearance.

If I were not sure that she was not breathing, I would have thought it was a misjudgment.

"This girl is so beautiful. She doesn't look dead at all. She looks like she just fell asleep."

What?

She's dead?!

No! She's not dead!

She is still alive!

Are dead people conscious?! Can they hear other people talking?!

"But her family was really indifferent. Others were crying till they died. They just sent her to the crematorium and left, just like following the procedure."

crematorium?!

Is she going to be cremated?

No, she's really not dead yet!

Damn my family!!

Xu Bai had a splitting headache, and countless images flashed through her mind. She was adopted by the wrong adoptive parents, she was taken back by her biological parents, she was targeted and ostracized, her innocence was taken advantage of, and her life was taken away...

....Everything is like the moon in the mirror.

She was like a bystander, having seen everything in those eighteen years in a blink of an eye, but her mood at this time was more like that of another person. Although she sympathized with those experiences, she lacked empathy.

Her character shouldn't be like that.

Simple, innocent, and has nothing to do with her!

Now she just wants to break free from the inexplicable restraints and tell everyone present that she is not dead yet!

The undertaker was used to seeing life and death. He shook his head and quickly calmed down his emotions and began to work: "Poor girl, her beauty has faded away at such a young age."

He was working hard and didn't notice that the girl's fingertips moved slightly.

Xu Bai felt that the woman who was speaking was using something cold to draw on her face. The touch was very uncomfortable.

Who destroyed the fragrant jade!

She is still alive and well!

Soon, Lin Xubai was placed on a cold shelf. The woman who was painting on her face said, "Hurry up, don't let the little girl suffer too much pain."

There were cries in the distance, but it was quiet here.

Of course, no one except the staff noticed this small difference.

Xu Bai knew that he was about to face the danger of being cremated, so he tried desperately to struggle.

Once she is cremated and this body disappears from the world, then she will really have nothing!

She doesn't allow it!

She hasn't eaten all the delicacies in the world and seen all the beautiful men in the world!

How could you leave so quietly!

She cannot and does not allow herself to face the complete end!

Can't!

Not sure if it was because his desire to survive was too strong, Xu Bai suddenly found that the restraints on his body had disappeared, and he sat up abruptly.

The sound of crying could be heard in the distance, and the two people in front of her who were wearing unknown work clothes looked at her in shock, as if they were frightened.

She panicked and jumped off the steel plate that the two men were carrying, fearing that the staff would accidentally slip her hand and send her into the conveyor belt.

After looking around, Xu Bai discovered a fact that troubled her.

She really is going to be cremated.

Doesn't cremation mean that she no longer has an identity or name in this world?

"You! You!" One of the staff members came to his senses and pointed at her. She couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. Finally, she rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.

Xu Bai has returned due to signs of life, and her complexion is gradually returning to its original fair and moist appearance. Her slender figure is covered by a white skirt, and the firelight behind her reflects on her face, giving her an indescribable and strange beauty.

Another staff member was so scared that his scalp was numb and he was about to drop the steel plate and run away.

"Shh." Xu Bai was afraid that he would attract the attention of the people next to him, so he reflexively narrowed his eyes, and there was a flash of red light inside.

The staff member happened to look at her and was stunned on the spot, his mind going blank.

After doing this, Xu Bai's face had just recovered a little and now turned pale again. She only hesitated for her involuntary behavior for a second, turned around and walked quickly outside.

After Xu Bai's figure left completely, the staff who woke up shook the man lying on the ground awake.

"Why are you lying on the ground?"

The legs of the staff on the ground were still a little weak, and they looked fearfully towards the steel plate. There was no one on it: "Just now, where was that girl just now?"

"Isn't it already cremated? What happened to you?"

The staff member on the ground stood up slowly, rubbed his temples, and felt extremely bored: "Did I see it wrong?" Didn't the girl in his memory pretend to be a corpse, but his colleague looked like he had nothing to do with it?

The way it happened made him wonder if he had seen it wrong, "Maybe it was too hot and I felt a little dizzy."

"I'm a little dizzy too, so I'll go back and drink some patchouli to relieve the heat."

At another cremation site not far away, a little girl rubbed her eyes and tugged on her mother's clothes: "Mom, I just seemed to see a sister getting off this board."
