"Just a few more hours, and I'll be there... My father and the rest will be happy to see me, right?"
In the pitch-black night where one could not see one's hand held before oneself, a frail girl was trudging alone on a one-way lane leading to X City.
With a sudden rush, a pair of blinding car lights sped around the corner. Following it was a heart-rending scream that echoed through the night sky as the girl's body was sent flying in a parabolic arc before landing.
A black, license-less vehicle passed by the girl's lifeless body. Someone inside threw a cold glance and muttered, "Taken care of."
He snapped a picture and rapidly disappeared into the darkness.
However, the next second, the girl, her body mangled, suddenly opened her eyes!
Warm blood trickled down from the corner of her eyes. She licked it. The taste was metallic and bloody.
"...Am I reborn?"
She slowly sat up from the ground, her mind starting to absorb the memories of the host body.
The host was named Alice Alison, which would be her name from now on.
Alice was an illegitimate daughter who was brought up in the countryside for over a decade. Recently, she received a sudden call from her family. They wanted her to return to the city to live a better life.
Delighted, she had set off. However, she met her tragic end before even reaching the city.
"What a pitiful girl."
She struggled to get up. The girl's body was immensely weak, but her current spiritual power wasn't sufficient to heal the grave injuries.
Suddenly, a strong light appeared accompanied by a certain familiar smell.
Ssss...
A sudden brake sound echoed hastily. Max Tristan braked urgently, causing Martin Luther, who was sitting in the back seat, to lean forward due to inertia.
"What's going on?" His low voice sounded.
"Boss, there's a person on the road..."
Max was staring at Alice, who stood in the middle of the road. She had disheveled hair and was drenched in blood. He recovered from his state of shock.
"Go check it out." Said Martin.
Just as Max got out of the car, a quick knocking sound came from Martin's window.
He looked up to see the girl standing outside the window.
Martin was taken aback, then slowly rolled down the window, preparing to ask. Yet, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
"Let go!" Martin's dark eyes sank and he spoke sternly.
It wasn't that he was disgusted by the dirt on the girl, but rather, he was a star of calamity and doom.
Someone as frail as her would experience heart palpitations on slight contact, and in severe cases, one could even die from a sudden heart attack.
However, the girl showed no intention of letting go.
And what's strange was, despite her serious injuries, she had an astonishingly strong grip... he was unable to break free.
"What do you want to do?" Martin stared at the girl's face, dirty and streaked with dried blood.
You could hardly see her clearly, but it was apparent that she had a beautiful face, especially those eyes that were large and bright.
The girl suddenly leaned down towards him and, opening her ruby lips, she breathlessly said, "I ...want... to... kiss... you!"
The moment her words stopped, her cool lips were already pressed against his.
And there he was, finding himself powerless, his body unable to move, and all he could do was watch her kiss him helplessly.
Their lips met, and the warm breath invaded his senses. His eyes abruptly widened, all he could see was the girl's trembling eyelashes.
"Remember to close your eyes next time you kiss."
About ten or so seconds passed before the girl pulled away from his lips. She looked at him dead serious, "Rest assured, since I kissed you, I will take responsibility for you!"
Alice fumbled in her pocket for something, ultimately producing a one Yuan coin.
Without any hesitation, she shoved the coin into his hand, "Consider this as a down payment. I will repay you when we next meet!"
"Also, my name is Alice Alison"
After saying that, the girl vanished in front of him. Simultaneously, the invisible force that immobilized him also disappeared.
At this point, Max touched his head, utterly puzzled as he returned to his car.
Strange, he clearly saw that person, but as soon as he got out of the car, there was no one there?
He turned his head and found his boss sitting in the back seat panting heavily. Worried, he asked, "Boss, what's the matter? Are you alright?"
Martin clutched his chest and waved his hand, "I'm fine."
"Additionally, Max, look into this person; even if it requires you to dig up the entire world, I need you to find her."
