Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 4 004: Fortune Telling

The slightly worn wooden door turned, making a harsh creaking sound.

Inside the dark wooden door was a deep corridor, separated by a screen in the middle. Affected by the dim environment, the pattern outlined on the screen now looked like a laughing human face, staring at the people at the door in an eerie manner.

The butler hunched over and turned around in the dim corridor, his eyes fixed on Lin Beixuan who was standing in front of the door.

"Pull him in!"

"Yes." The two servants held Lin Beixuan's arms on both sides, and regardless of his resistance, they forcibly lifted him in.

Just as he stepped over the threshold, a cold wind suddenly blew on his face. Lin Beixuan felt his body go cold, as if he was being stared at by something.

"Come on."

Just as he was stunned, the two servants behind him pushed Lin Beixuan's shoulders with such force that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes, anger rising in his heart. He suddenly turned around and glanced at the two people behind him. His eyes were fierce and violent, as if he wanted to eat them alive.

This brief eye contact gave the two servants goose bumps all over their bodies and they felt fear for no reason.

But when Lin Beixuan came to his senses, he frowned.

With his previous temper, he would most likely tolerate the other party's behavior, but today he seemed to have lost control.

It seems that fate not only affects his appearance and temperament, but also causes certain changes to his personality.

The movement on their side attracted the attention of the butler.

One of the middle-aged men, who was a bit burly, saw the butler looking at them, so he stepped forward and cursed, "What, you have an opinion?"

"If it hadn't been me..."

"All right!"

The housekeeper tilted his head and suddenly interrupted the servant: "Take him to the woodshed and continue with your previous work."

After saying this, the butler looked at Lin Beixuan deeply and slowly walked into the darkness.

The two servants bowed and nodded, and after watching the housekeeper leave, they immediately pulled Lin Beixuan to the woodshed.

The scale of the Ruan family residence is larger than imagined. It is a large courtyard with three entrances. After walking through a long corridor, at the end is a spacious courtyard with a rockery in the center. The gurgling water flows down through the cracks in the rocks, through the plants clinging on them, and flows into the pool below.

This should have been an exquisitely designed landscape, but when Lin Beixuan approached it, he smelled a faint stench.

The stench was not strong, but it was like the smell of something dead and rotting, and it made one feel nauseous when inhaling it.

I looked up at the two people beside me. They seemed to have long been accustomed to this smell and there was no discomfort on their faces.

Before he could pay much attention, he was taken to the woodshed between the inner and outer houses.

After the two servants brought him here, the burly middle-aged man in the lead looked at Fan Lin Beixuan in amazement, as if he had seen something incredible, and snorted coldly: "He is not dead yet, he is really lucky."

Then, he ignored Lin Beixuan's puzzled look and left after saying, "Do your job well in the future, cover your head to sleep at night, and don't go out casually anymore."

"..."

Lin Beixuan rubbed his painful lame foot, looked at the servant's leaving back, and guessed in his heart what the other party meant by his words.

Don't go out casually at night anymore. The word "anymore" seems to have some meaning.

The original owner of this body must have gone out at night and seemed to have encountered some trouble, which is why his body was found in a mass grave and he was possessed by this body.

As for what happened, it is currently impossible to infer.

Is it a human or something else?

The world before our eyes is too mysterious. It always gives people a very strange feeling, weird, eerie, and seems to reveal danger everywhere.

Even something like zombies that is inconsistent with scientific materialism can appear, so I'm afraid there will be even more bizarre things to come.

“I don’t know if I can ever go back!”

Lin Beixuan sighed and pushed open the door of the woodshed in front of him. The housekeeper asked him to continue doing his previous work. Since he came to the woodshed, it was most likely that he was going to chop wood.

He was lame and couldn't walk properly, so it was not surprising that he was assigned to the woodshed.

When you walk into the house, the first thing you see is a pile of firewood. At the bottom right of the pile of firewood is a small bed that is just big enough for a person to lie down.

I guess this is where the original owner used to live.

Having just arrived in this world, Lin Beixuan still had a lot of doubts in his mind waiting to be solved, so at this time he had no complaints about the environment in which he lived.

As soon as he sat down on the small bed, the whole bed immediately shook and creaked, as if it would fall apart at any time. Lin Beixuan raised his buttocks a little higher with a dark face, trying not to let the bed affect his thinking mood.

I touched the back of my head and it still seemed to hurt a little.

The reason for his second death was that he was hit to death with a brick from behind. This can be ruled out as zombies. If it were zombies, they would have simply bitten his throat.

So the thing that attacked him this time was either a zombie-like monster or the original owner's enemy?
Not long after entering this world, he died twice in a row. No matter who it was, they would not feel good about it, especially Lin Beixuan. He did not want to suffer any loss, so he would not let go of the zombies and the person behind the plot.

Then he studied the panel for a while. He only had 5 annual coins left. Most of the functions on the panel were unusable. Only an icon called signature was still lit.

[Lottery: Spend 5 years old coins to draw a lot. The lot you draw will have a chance to predict what will happen to you in the future. 】

"Is there such a good thing?"

Lin Beixuan's eyes lit up, and he used his only five remaining coins on the lottery without hesitation.

He has good luck in this world, so there is no reason for him to become an unlucky guy in the secular world.

On the panel, the shadow of a stick tube swayed, and soon a red stick fell out of it.

[The worst fortune: life is at stake]

[Explanation: You are in deep danger without knowing it, and you finally escape from the tiger's mouth, but you turn a corner and run back again]

[You are confused about why you appeared in this world, but others are more confused than you, why a dead person came back to life, and finally escaped, but finally had to return to this hellhole. ]

[It’s a pity that you will die again soon, maybe tonight, maybe by something in the room...]

The second sentence of the explanation stops abruptly.

Lin Beixuan stood up from the bed, his mind full of question marks.

It would have been fine if he had drawn a bad lot the first time, but Jie Wen said that he was going to die again soon, which forced him to be cautious.

Looking around, Lin Beixuan immediately began to check the woodshed where he lived.

According to the hint in the explanation, he may face two crises, one will happen tonight and the other is inside the room.

"Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth!" Lin Beixuan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Is it so difficult for a time traveler to survive in a different world? He could die at any time. If he couldn't be resurrected, he would probably have been eaten by zombies until nothing was left.

Lin Beixuan carefully checked his room and found two triangular-headed poisonous snakes and several centipedes and scorpions in the firewood pile.

But that was not all. When he moved the pile of firewood near the bed, he suddenly discovered that there was a human head growing on the wall behind the pile of firewood.

The head protruded from the wall, and its color was the same as the ochre-yellow mud wall. There were already hands on both sides of the ears trying to dig out from the wall. When Lin Beixuan looked over, the strange head actually raised its head, and their eyes met by chance.

……

The woodshed fell into deathly silence, and the air seemed to have stopped circulating. Two pairs of eyes were staring at each other with wide eyes.

The thing in the wall, who knew whether it was a human or a ghost, had a vicious look in its eyes. It met Lin Beixuan's ferocious gaze. The two were evenly matched for a moment, and neither of them had any intention of backing down.

"..."

Finally, Lin Beixuan showed a ferocious smile on his face and picked up the hatchet that had been prepared beside him.

In the dim room, the hatchet flashed with cold light. Lin Beixuan tapped the blade twice with his fingers, making a crisp sound of metal.

As long as it is sharp, it is a good knife.

An extremely bad fate, strength +1, breaking evil +1.

At this time, these two characteristics came in handy. Lin Beixuan held a knife in his hand, and his ferocious aura became even stronger, like a desperate criminal who was ready to draw his knife and hurt people at any time.

The originally ordinary hatchet seemed to be affected by this momentum, and a streak of scarlet blood flashed on the blade.

The thing in the wall, who was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost, only felt a chill on its neck and its eyes became uncertain. Finally, its gaze towards Lin Beixuan became much gentler.

It nodded at Lin Beixuan and began to slowly retreat into the wall, like a crocodile in a swamp, burying its head in the wall.

But at this moment, a black hatchet chopped on the pile of firewood next to it, only a few centimeters away from its head.

A slender, white hand with distinct knuckles was tightly gripping the rough knife handle, while Lin Beixuan's other hand was pinching the neck of the human head as if he was pinching a chicken.

"Brother, let's discuss something!"
