As the last words faded, the red hue in the sky gradually dissipated, and the bright sunlight began to illuminate the heavens. A warm, comforting light radiated from behind him, spreading across the landscape.
Just as it seemed everything was returning to normal, Xu Shen struggled to pry the fingers off his neck.
"Who are you? How do you know my identity? I don’t recall ever crossing paths with you!"
"Long ago, a thousand years in this very place, amidst howling winds and dark clouds, beneath the surface of the pond before you lies our story."
"What are you talking about? I can't understand you!" Xu Shen gestured toward the figure behind him, urging them to explain further.
"...It was you who ruthlessly ended my life, casting me into this deep water to languish for a millennium!"
Upon hearing this revelation, Xu Shen felt a chill enveloping him, causing him to tremble involuntarily. He looked into the eyes of the person behind him, which bore a haunting expression born of a thousand years of resentment—emotionless yet seemingly intent on devouring him whole.
"A thousand years ago, you cruelly took my life and sealed me in this stagnant water, preventing me from reincarnating with my beloved. Today, you will pay the price. Before you meet your end, consider how you will conclude your own story!"
Xu Shen's heart raced violently. A cold aura surrounded him, and fear gripped him so tightly that he could barely move.
"That's not how it is! Please, don't be impulsive! What era are we in? What sealing? I don't understand! I'm just a kid! Let's talk this out! If you need money, we can negotiate!"
Xu Shen was at a loss for why this person seemed so hostile; they appeared intent on devouring him alive.
"Think carefully! You must have mistaken me for someone else. We have no grievances between us. My name is Xu Shen; I've always been a good student! Since childhood, I've loved helping others—assisting the elderly across streets or picking up litter to throw it away. I'm an honest person! Please don’t do anything rash; otherwise, the police won’t let you off easily..."
"Do you have any guilty secrets? I refuse to believe there’s such a good person in this world!" The voice echoed back.
"No, no! I promise there’s nothing! Just earlier, I found a bill but hadn’t had time to turn it in to the police before it exploded! I don’t even know why it ruined my pants! My thigh hurts so much now! Like you said, those things aren’t me! Even if I wanted to do something wrong, I wouldn’t have the guts! Look at me—I’m not capable of harming anyone!"
