Chapter Fourteen Can you still feel your heartbeat?

The scumbag waved her hand, interrupted the fat man's words, and said in a low voice: "Go and have a chat with your brother!"
The fat man hesitated a little, and finally, under the gesture of my eyes, he returned to the bar with a worried and nervous look on his face.
The scumbag looked at me and said in a low voice: "Who taught you the rune you just cast?"
"Lingyao!"
I said simply: "I didn't want to cause trouble here. Lingyao told me that if I encounter trouble that I can't solve, I can come here for help. It just so happens that the fat man is working here, so I'll come here to take a look..."
"Lingyao?"
The scumbag frowned slightly, took a sip of cigarette, and exhaled a thick smoke. She said in a complicated tone: "That girl! I haven't seen her for many years. How did you know her? How much did she teach you?"
I briefly talked about what I had experienced over the past month, and the more I heard the slut, my brows became tighter.
"The guardian... why did that girl stay in that dilapidated temple for so many years? How could she have something to do with the guardian of Jiang's guardian?"
The scumbag talked to herself for a while, looked at me, and a strange purple light flashed in her eyes.
Before I could react, his fingers suddenly poked the position of my chest, which was a little painful and a little numb. I felt a faint feeling that a cold breath seemed to penetrate my heart, making me shivering.
Just as I was subconsciously preparing to fight back, his fingers had already left my chest.
"What did you do to me?" I asked with a calm face.
The slut man looked at the mark on my wrist, his face was a little weird, and he said thoughtfully: "You said she taught you a lot of runes and patterns, but didn't notice anything wrong? That girl wouldn't easily teach those secrets to others! She also pierced your heart. Don't you doubt why you are still alive now?"
When I heard his words, my heart skipped a beat.
How could there be no doubt?
I clearly remember that Lingyao pierced my heart, but now I am still alive, strong and not even a scar on my heart and mouth. This is really strange.
"Can you still feel your heartbeat?" said the scumbag quietly.
Isn't this nonsense?
If the heart stops beating, wouldn’t it become a dead person?
However, the slut's expression made me feel inexplicably panic, and my hands trembled and touched my heart.
I held my breath and wanted to feel the beating in my chest, but the result made me feel like I fell into an ice cellar.
The heart and mouth are very calm, like a calm lake without any slight waves.
No heartbeat, no sense at all!
"No... impossible!"
I said in a trembling voice: "How could this happen? I am obviously alive, flesh and blood, how could I lose my heartbeat?"
I thought of what happened that night. After Ling Yao pierced my heart, she pressed the mottled oil lamp on my heart. The oil lamp seemed to melt into my heart. Also, in that strange dream, the mottled oil lamp in the dream emitted many runes and patterns, wrapping me up...
Could it be that it is because of the mottled oil lamp?
My eyes twitched at the scumbag, hoping that he could give me an explanation.
"Since you signed the blood contract, it means she has chosen you. It is probably because of your bloodline! Jiang's bloodline of the ancestor rebirth, and that girl chose you is your misfortune and your great fortune. No one can predict what the future will be... Don't expect me to solve your doubts, I don't want to mix in some things!"
"For the sake of having some friendship with that girl, if you have any trouble in the future, just come here to find me! You can treat this place as a shelter, and only here. After leaving this place, I will not ask about your life and death!"
After saying this, without waiting for my response, the scumbag went directly to the bar counter and said to the fat man: "Today, you can get off work early and take your brother back to bed! Starting from tomorrow, it won't be used. I will compensate you for one month's salary and I will pay the money to your card tomorrow!"
The fat man was stunned, but he did not look like begging as he imagined. He nodded calmly and said softly: "Okay, thank the store manager for taking care of him during this period!"
The fat man changed his clothes and pulled me out of the bar.
My mind was in a daze until I walked out of the Biqing Road and the night wind blew for a while before I came to my senses.
The fat man and I sat on the curb on the side of the road. He handed me a cigarette, and he was swallowing the clouds and sniffling with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I've lost all my work!" I said softly.
The fat man waved his hand and said helplessly: "Brothers don't say this. Besides, the store manager won't let me do it anymore. It's not entirely because of you! Although the salary and benefits of that bar are quite good, to be honest, I was also worried during this period. I have earned a lot of money during this period. I am content!"
I looked at the fat man in surprise and said, "Did you notice something?"
"nonsense!"
The fat man gave me a blank look and said angrily: "I'm not a fool, how could I not see that there is something wrong with this bar! Every time at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, I would fall asleep inexplicably, and be confused all day long during the day. At first, I thought it was a sequelae of staying up late, but after a long time, I naturally saw a problem."
"After twelve o'clock every night at night, I can't tell the strangeness of those guests. The women in the bar also vaguely said the weirdness of this bar. If it weren't for making money, you thought I wanted to stay here! It's also good now. The manager took the initiative to speak out, I'll get a month's salary in vain, study with peace of mind, and find a good job after graduation, which is great!"
Although the fat man said it freely and easily, I can also see that he was still a little disappointed. After all, it is not easy to find such a high-paying job these days.
I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know where to start.
After smoking a cigarette, the fat man stepped on the cigarette butt and glanced at me, saying with a weird look: "I was a little surprised by your performance tonight! You are so good at it! You are dealing with the eldest sister's head... when you deal with that girl, how can you still emit red light?"
I didn't want to tell Fatty too much about what happened to me in the past month. I vaguely made a few excuses. Fatty also understood that I had a hard time hiding, so I didn't ask any questions.
The night wind was blowing, and after a few talks, the fat man and I took a taxi back to school.
When I returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The fat man's snoring had already sounded, but I was in a state of confusion, and my mind was full of what the scumbag said.
My heartbeat is gone, is it considered a living dead person?
The body is warm, no different from a normal person. If you don’t feel anything special, why doesn’t your heartbeat be?
What the hell is Lingyao doing?
If you make me like this, what does it mean to choose me?
What's special about the bloodline of our Jiang family?
Countless questions lingered in my heart, and I don’t know how long it took to fall asleep.
The next morning, I was woken up by the fat man. I opened my eyes in a daze and found that there was one more person in the dormitory, our instructor.
The instructor looked at me strangely and said, "Jiang He, get up and wash up quickly and go to the office with me. Someone is looking for you!"
"Who is looking for me?" I asked in confusion.
"It seems to be from the criminal police team, and I said I wanted to ask about the matter in your village!"
Chapter completed!
