Those who reincarnate must die.

Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes, casually walked up to the boy, and pretended not to see him, bumping into him. The boy was a little annoyed by the bump and glared at Zhang Lang: "Can't you watch where you're going?!"

Zhang Lang looked at him: "Ye Fei?"

The boy was taken aback: "You know me?"

Sure enough! Zhang Lang noticed the boy's resemblance to Ye Peng, and considering the typical height of their family, he guessed that the boy was his cousin who had just returned from playing outside.

"I'm your brother's friend!" Zhang Lang looked at Ye Fei and added, "Ye Peng!"

"Oh!" Ye Fei looked Zhang Lang up and down. "I heard my dad say that my cousin and older cousin were coming today, and they brought a classmate with them. That's you."

Zhang Lang glanced at the girl behind him: "Where did you go today?"

Upon hearing this question, Ye Fei immediately retorted with displeasure, "What's it to you?"

Zhang Lang looked at him: "I'm new to Sky City, not familiar with it, and I'm looking for some exciting places to go..."

"What does that have to do with me?" Ye Fei glanced at him.

"I'm interested in supernatural tales!" Zhang Lang said. "Your brother told me you like these things too, so I wanted to ask you about them."

Ye Fei was initially quite resentful, but once this topic came up, he immediately started talking, raising an eyebrow: "You like this too? Then you've come to the right person!"

As he spoke, the young man pulled a white ring from his pocket: "See this? The infamous Xuenasen Bone Ring. Legend has it that this ring was made five hundred years ago by a serial killer using the bones of a young girl he brutally murdered! It's said to be very cursed; everyone who wore this ring died mysteriously! The ring has been missing for ages, but I never expected to find it today!"

"Nine out of ten of these legends are false!" Zhang Lang said, but his eyes glanced at the eerie girl behind Ye Fei, thinking to himself, "You're lucky to have met the real one..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Fei scoffed. "What I'm saying is definitely true!"

"Then you still dare to wear it?" Zhang Lang looked at him. "Aren't you afraid of being cursed too?"

"It's alright!" Ye Fei loosened his collar, revealing a peculiar necklace around his neck and beads on his wrists. "I'm covered in protective charms; even the most powerful curse can't harm me!"

Zhang Lang nodded: "Can I take a look?"

"You can take a look, but don't break it!" Ye Fei carefully wiped it and handed it to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang took out a glove and put it on his right hand, prompting Ye Fei to exclaim in admiration, "Wow, big brother, you're quite professional!"

Zhang Lang caught the ring with his gloved right hand. Almost simultaneously, the girl left Ye Fei's back and walked behind Zhang Lang!

It really is a vengeful spirit!

Ghosts and spirits do exist!

However, not everyone can become a ghost after death. Only those with great resentment or who are killed by special methods can become vengeful spirits and attach themselves to an object to prevent their spirit from dissipating!

Clearly, this ring harbors an evil spirit, and Ye Fei, already possessed by it, is completely unaware. If he hadn't met Zhang Lang and taken this thing home, trouble would likely have ensued very soon…

Zhang Lang had previously acquired the ability of spiritual vision, allowing him to see ghosts, but Ye Peng and Le Xinyi might not be able to. Their attributes are higher, which might allow them to resist the entanglement of vengeful spirits, but they probably couldn't save Ye Fei.

Thinking of this, he calmly handed the ring to his left hand, which was not wearing a ring.

The instant Zhang Lang's skin touched the ring, the vengeful spirit of the girl behind him suddenly let out a piercing scream, and then vanished in an instant...

The power of returning to simplicity won't permanently remove the special effects of weapons enchanted by the altar, but it's not so simple to use it to purify vengeful spirits.

Ye Fei, standing opposite him, suddenly shrank back: "What just happened? Why did I feel a cold wind blow by?"

"It's nothing!" Zhang Lang handed the ring back to him. "It's probably just a minor malfunction in the temperature control system. Let's go home!"

Ye Songyang was somewhat surprised to see Zhang Lang and Ye Fei return together. Upon seeing his cousin and older cousin, the young man didn't seem particularly enthusiastic, merely offering a greeting before disappearing into his room to tinker with his newly acquired gadgets…

In any case, Zhang Lang had settled into Ye Songyang's house. For the next few days, Le Xinyi and Ye Peng basically took him to visit and explore various parts of Sky City. Although it wasn't a dedicated tourist city, Sky City showcased many advanced technologies, which were more interesting to Earthlings than beautiful scenery and amusement parks.

After playing for a few days, Zhang Lang remembered the quest he had accepted during the Fog City mission.

Thanks to the high water attribute, although he had only heard it once, he remembered it clearly because it was a person's dying words. It should be in Bit Street in the eastern district of Sky City. The deceased reincarnator was named Charles Miguel, and his wife was named Lina Miguel.

That day, Zhang Lang greeted Le Xinyi and Ye Peng, and then took the tram within the ring road alone to the Eastern District.

The so-called inner-ring tram is a unique mode of transportation in Space City. Because the entire Space City is circular, when a person stands in the city, the center of the giant ring is right above their head. Therefore, if you want to go to the area on the other side of the ring, the shortest distance is through the center!

Indeed, this is the case. From a distance, the entire space city resembles a giant bicycle wheel, surrounded by concentric rings connected to a central hub by spoke-like tracks. These tracks, besides providing stability, also serve as convenient transportation routes. Fully enclosed spacecraft constantly travel on these rings, heading directly to the central transfer station, and then connecting to other parts of the city via other tracks…

Of course, if you don't want to go that far to the other side, there is also a ring road within the city, which is only a few dozen meters higher than the city's ground level. It circles the city in a large circle, and the distance is relatively short. You can go directly along the arc, which is very convenient.

To be honest, even though he had experienced it several times, Zhang Lang still found it amazing, especially when he arrived at the Yuanzhong transfer station. Because of the lack of centrifugal force to simulate gravity, it was almost a weightless environment... Although the transfer was all done automatically and people were fixed in their seats, the feeling was still very strange...

To make a long story short, Zhang Lang found Bit Street. After making inquiries, he finally located Lina Miguel's home.

This is an elderly woman in her sixties. Although her husband has been dead for more than half a year, one can still see the loss and sadness in her eyes.

"You said you're Charles's friend?" Lina ushered Zhang Lang into the house. "He's a very rigid and stubborn person. I find it hard to imagine that he would have a friend as young as you!"

"Strictly speaking, he wasn't exactly a friend... but he once told me a secret..." Zhang Lang looked at the old woman: "He said he hid some savings in the second row, third compartment of the TV wall... If he died one day, no one would know about this money, so he asked me to tell you!"

"He's been gone for more than half a year..." Lina sighed.

"I'm sorry!" Zhang Lang nodded. "I just found out..." To be honest, he only remembered it subconsciously because of the last words. At that time, Zhang Lang never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to help a reincarnator fulfill his last wish!

Lina stood up, went to the TV, and tapped the background wall as Zhang Lang had instructed. Sure enough, the third cell in the second row was a bit empty, and the color of the adhesive around it was also a bit off.

"Need my help?" Zhang Lang stood up, pretending to tap a few times, but actually secretly used his fingers to cut the adhesive on the edge of the wall tile and removed the whole piece: "It's movable, you just haven't noticed..."

Behind the background bricks was a small iron box. Lina took it out and opened it right in front of Zhang Lang. There were indeed some banknotes inside, but the denominations were small and there weren't many. They were all small change. After counting, there were only forty-five yuan and fifty cents!

But upon seeing the money, Lina's tears suddenly streamed down her face uncontrollably...

"Forty years ago, we were introduced by a mutual acquaintance. When we first met, he didn't have his wallet, which was quite embarrassing, so I treated him to a meal, which cost forty-five yuan and fifty cents..." Lina sobbed. "At that time, he smiled and said to me, 'You're the first girl to treat me to a meal, I'll definitely pay you back!'"

"I asked how I could repay him, and he said he could give me his entire life in return..."

At this point, Lina buried her face in the metal box and broke down in tears.

This scene also saddened Zhang Lang. He thought of his hometown and his sister, of Zhang Lang and Ye Weiwei who had died, and of many other things...

"Oh, and he said one more thing!" Zhang Lang said to Lina, "He said, 'I'm sorry, I love you!'"

Lina cried even harder.

…………

After leaving Miguel's house, Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, his phone received a WeChat message from Le Xinyi.

"The party has been moved up to tonight, so come back soon!"

Zhang Lang frowned. It was two days earlier than scheduled. Had something unexpected happened?

It doesn't matter. Whatever the reason, it won't delay his business. He can just go back and prepare.

But just then, the ethereal voice rang in his mind after a long absence: "You have a mission!"

"You're awake?"

"Awake! I had a really good sleep!" The faint voice sounded like someone stretching. "So, how about the mission?"

"Of course I'll do it!"

"Let me find a convenient place!"
