Chapter 7: Who Are You?

Xu Huai’an was a bit confused.

No, he was extremely confused.

He noticed that things recently were getting stranger and stranger.

He didn’t understand—everything was fine before, now he couldn’t go back.

At first, Zhang Xiaoxiao came to see him for no reason and told him—he should remember her.

Then she confessed.

Then he foolishly rejected her.

And then, every day, he had the same dream.

In the dream, an old woman appeared.

The problem was… he actually felt his heart stir.

The problem within the problem was—that he thought he was truly sick.

He rejected a beautiful young woman, yet fell for an old woman in a dream.

Isn’t that crazy?

Think about it—if someone told you this, wouldn’t you say he’s insane?

But the problem was…

He hadn’t forgotten Zhang Xiaoxiao.

She was just a university classmate.

A beautiful girl he hadn’t spoken ten words to over four years—he still remembered her.

As for the old woman in his dream…

Hmm.

Yeah.

He really was sick.

Crazy!

Just now.

He was eating, and suddenly a stunningly beautiful woman appeared at his home, staring at him intensely.

I’m a normal man.

Being stared at by a beautiful woman—some reaction should be normal, right?

The only abnormal thing was—

The woman’s gaze was too intense.

Being stared at by her, he couldn’t move.

Insane.

Truly insane!

The problem within the problem was—

Damn it, another man appeared later.

And he couldn’t even see him!

In the end, that man took the beautiful woman away…

Isn’t that insane?

Maybe… he should see a doctor tomorrow.

At this rate, his condition wouldn’t improve.

Just as Xu Huai’an continued to doubt whether he had gone insane himself…

Zhang Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve and said:

“Huai’an… what just… what just happened? Who was that woman?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao was really scared.

A woman suddenly appeared.

Then her whole body felt paralyzed, like sleep paralysis.

Then the woman suddenly disappeared.

Anyone would be scared.

Zhang Xiaoxiao only had memories of her past life.

She was otherwise a very normal person.

But now, abnormal things were happening.

So she was afraid.

Xu Huai’an said helplessly:

“Maybe… we should go see a doctor tomorrow together?”

Xu Huai’an thought this was the normal response.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was speechless…

Far away, on the rooftop of a building not far from Xu Huai’an’s home.

Seven people in white robes with gold trim stood on the rooftop.

One voluptuous woman in a white robe stepped out from the group and said to the remaining six:

“It’s time to take him away.”

One of the men in a white robe asked:

“What about the people from the underworld?”

Another male robe-wearer said:

“They probably haven’t noticed yet. Otherwise Zhong Kui would have stayed to protect him.”

A male voice, sounding very old, said:

“Zhong Kui has already taken the lustful ghost away. Luckily, the lustful ghost almost noticed us.”

The woman in the white robe said:

“In that case, to prevent complications, let’s go take him now.”

The rest nodded:

“Then let’s go!”

Seven white-robed figures emitted golden light and flew off the rooftop toward Xu Huai’an.

In the night sky.

Two figures, black and white, flew across the mortal realm.

They were the infamous:
Black Impermanence
and
White Impermanence.

White Impermanence said to Black Impermanence:

“Things have been really strange lately.”

Black Impermanence asked:

“Strange how?”

White Impermanence rolled his eyes:

“So many people suddenly awakening memories of their past lives—do you think that’s normal?”

Black Impermanence touched his bald head and said:

“Didn’t Meng Po say the Reincarnation Pool was fine?”

White Impermanence said:

“That’s exactly why it’s not normal.”

He looked back at the city under the night sky:

“The Reincarnation Pool is fine. Meng Po’s soup is fine…”

“So where’s the problem?”

White Impermanence frowned and pondered.

Suddenly!

He spun sharply and looked into the distance.

Squinting, he said:

“The aura of a false god!”

He looked at Black Impermanence:

“Didn’t the drunkard already act? Where is this false god coming from?”

Black Impermanence frowned:

“These auras are not from the Five Ghosts!”

They exchanged a glance, then flew together toward the direction of the aura.

Xu Huai’an widened his eyes.

He was confused again.

Just now, a golden light flew toward him.

Then, a woman in a white robe appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Insane.

This never ends, does it?

As Xu Huai’an again questioned his own sanity…

The woman in white spoke:

“Do not be afraid.”

“You must be very curious about what’s happening, right?”

Just as Xu Huai’an felt uneasy…

Two men appeared behind him.

Black and White Impermanence had arrived!

White Impermanence clearly heard the woman in white and said:

“Actually, it’s not just him.”

“We also want to know.”

The woman frowned.

They had overlooked Black and White Impermanence.

They hadn’t stopped them from appearing in advance.

Now it was a little troublesome.

Black Impermanence was fine.

Just a big, dumb guy.

He could be tricked.

The problem was—

White Impermanence was here too.

This White Impermanence false god was very strong.

He was an existence not inferior to Zhong Kui.

Moreover, he was very intelligent.

Not easy to deceive.

The woman in white had a headache.

She thought for a moment and decided to try clearing the situation with force.

White Impermanence is hard to persuade.

She would distract him first, wait for her companions to arrive.

Then, the decision would be in their hands.

White Impermanence said quietly to Black Impermanence:

“Watch that pair of humans.”

“I’ll handle this woman.”

He then looked toward the woman in white, already flying in the sky.

White Impermanence no longer hesitated.

He knew he had to stop this woman.

His intuition told him—

She was the one causing so many people to recall past-life memories.

She must be taken down to resolve the problem.

Xu Huai’an watched as the two golden-glowing figures fought intensely in the sky.

He turned back, helpless and uneasy, and asked Black Impermanence:

“Uh… sir…”

“Who are you?”
