Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 3 003: Huangshi Ruan Family

This time, Lin Beixuan raised his vigilance to the highest level. He looked towards the place where the zombies had appeared, his hand tightly grasping the wooden stick.

"Susu..."

In the dim corner, the bushes were swaying, and there was a vague human figure hidden among them.

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes. Instead of waiting for the other party to attack him when he was not prepared, it would be better for him to take action early. Maybe there would still be a chance.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan took a step forward, waving the wooden stick in his hand like the wind, and hit the human figure.

He had referenced those biochemical movies in the world, and this stick was meant to hit the opponent's head. As the old saying goes, a random punch can kill a master. Although his stick attack had no rules, it gathered all the strength of his body, and it would be definitely uncomfortable for the opponent if it was hit.

But at the moment when the wooden stick touched the opponent's head, Lin Beixuan suddenly found something wrong.

It didn't have the solid feeling of hitting someone's head as imagined, but instead it felt soft, like hitting cotton.

Getting a little closer, Lin Beixuan could clearly see the outline of the human figure lying on the ground.

This wasn't the zombie that attacked him before, but rather it looked like...

he himself!
Although Lin Beixuan had not seen the face of this body, judging from his clothes, it was definitely him.

What made him even more certain was the identical mole on the palm of the corpse's hand.

"This is my body, but why am I still alive?"

"In the secular world, when you die and are resurrected, the shrine that stands beside you when you wake up..."

Surrounded by clouds of doubt, Lin Beixuan felt as if he was trapped in a dream of infinite rebirth. The feeling of both reality and illusion made him feel confused.

He squatted down and wanted to check it more carefully, but as soon as his hand touched the corpse, the body on the ground became illusory and slowly disappeared.

The fingertips still retained the cold temperature from touching the corpse, but "his" own corpse disappeared before his eyes.

"call……"

Lin Beixuan let out a long breath and stood up from the ground with the help of a wooden stick.

It hasn't been long since he was resurrected, and the zombies should have left not far after killing him. There is a high probability that they will come back after hearing the noise. He must take advantage of this brief gap to leave here immediately.

Picking up his spirits again, Lin Beixuan kept alert to his surroundings to prevent any strange creatures from suddenly attacking him, while trotting towards the village ahead with his shoulders raised and lowered.

This body was lame, so it was difficult for it to run fast, but fortunately the village was not far away, so it arrived soon.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Beixuan saw a stone tablet erected in front of the village with three large characters written on it in bright red cinnabar.

"Yellowstone Village!"

Lin Beixuan muttered something in a low voice and looked towards the village. In the hazy fog, he saw scattered houses in the village and quaint bluestone roads leading straight into unknown deep alleys.

Faint human voices came from somewhere in my ears, including those of men and women, old and young. When the voices finally came together, they gave me an extremely uncomfortable and terrifying feeling.

Lin Beixuan frowned and limped into this strange village.

But just as he walked along the bluestone road for a while, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind, hitting the back of his head.

Because he had been on guard early on, Lin Beixuan pounced forward in an instant. Logically, he should have been able to dodge it with his subconscious reaction speed, but somehow, the brick behind his head seemed to know his next move, and it abruptly changed direction in mid-air and hit him hard on the back of his head.

"Crack~"

When the two hard objects collided with each other, Lin Beixuan felt a pain in his head, and a familiar darkness came into his eyes.

"Don't let me catch you!"

……

"Hey, why is this guy lying at the entrance of our village? Should we wake him up?"

"Forget it, this guy seems pretty fierce."

Lin Beixuan opened his eyes hazily, with the sun shining on his head. He could see several figures gathering not far away, holding farm tools in their hands, as if they were going to work in the fields.

Looking at the shrine next to him, there was a white wax candle with a faint green flame burning quietly.

He died again! Just as he was about to get up from the ground, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if it was being torn apart. His legs couldn't help but tremble, and a strong feeling of weakness spread throughout his body.

Lin Beixuan gasped heavily, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and began to quickly analyze the cause.

Since he came into this world, he has died twice.

The first time he was bitten to death by zombies, his body just felt a little uncomfortable after he was resurrected.

The second time was when he entered the village and was hit to death by a brick that suddenly appeared from behind. This time when he woke up, he had a severe headache and all his strength seemed to have been drained.

"So... resurrection is not without cost."

Lin Beixuan looked at the shrine, then turned his gaze to the women who were pointing at him.

The shrine seemed invisible to them.

Every time he is resurrected, the shrine will appear next to him, which means that his resurrection is most likely related to this shrine.

Moreover, Lin Beixuan noticed that there were not many white candles in the shrine. He remembered that when he was resurrected for the first time, the candle was only half burned.

Ignoring the strange looks from the women around him, Lin Beixuan sat on the ground and rested for a while. When the severe pain in his brain was no longer severe and his body had recovered some strength, he got up from the ground and walked up to one of them.

"Auntie, please tell me..."

Before Lin Beixuan could finish his words, the women in coarse clothes scattered and ran away.

"???"

"Do I look that scary?"

He had long been curious about his appearance. His body was already disabled, and he would really cry if he became ugly again.

Seeing a well not far away, Lin Beixuan's eyes lit up. The ground around the well was moist, so he thought there should be water in it.

He came to the well, drew a bucket of water from it clumsily, and lay on top of the bucket to look at himself.

He is handsome, with a well-defined face, a high nose bridge and thin upturned lips.

only……

Lin Beixuan frowned, and his reflection in the water immediately became gloomy, with a fierce and vicious look in his brows, as if he would suddenly jump up and chop people with a knife at any time.

atrocious!

“It’s because of that fate.”

Lin Beixuan's mind moved, and the panel in his mind suddenly lit up. In the column for the character's fate, the entry for extremely vicious was flashing green light.

'Whether human or ghost, everyone is afraid of you', it turns out this sentence has a literal meaning!

No wonder those people ran away as soon as I stood up.

Lin Beixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. When he was thinking about what to do next, a rough big hand pressed on his shoulder from behind.

"You kid, you're still alive."

Lin Beixuan turned his head and saw a hunchbacked man dressed as a butler appearing behind him, looking at him with shock in his eyes.

The butler was followed by two servants, whose clothes were somewhat similar to his.

"No matter what, since we meet, let's take him back."

The housekeeper waved his hand, and the two servants immediately understood. They approached Lin Beixuan from the left and right and lifted him up from the well.

During this process, Lin Beixuan did not resist and let the other party drag him, because he knew that with his lame and disabled body, he could not beat the two strong servants at all.

Several people followed the butler in front and brought him to a luxuriously decorated house.

The plaque on the main entrance reads "Ruan's Residence" in four large characters.

Lin Beixuan thought they were going to take him in, but they just passed by the main entrance, turned a corner into an alley, and pulled him open a back door painted black.
