Wu Pengpeng had a very long dream.
In the dream, she returned to her days in the orphanage. At that time, there was always a little boy named "Xiaoshan" following her. He was four years younger than her and would call her "sister" every day.
Xiaoshan was a child with a strong sense of insecurity. Every day, he was worried that they would be separated. He was also afraid that if he was adopted and changed his name, they wouldn't recognize each other.
To comfort Xiaoshan, she made an agreement with him to use "distant mountains" as a secret signal for future recognition. Later, he was adopted, and they never saw each other again.
In the dream, time flew by like quicksand. In a blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. She wrote a masterpiece under the pen - name "Distant Mountains", which was later adapted into a movie with Hu Ge playing the leading male role.
Wu Pengpeng liked this ending very much and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Maybe her laughter was too loud and disrupted her sweet dream. The next second, she was pushed down the stairs by Huo Jingting and Qin Ledi and died on the spot.
Wu Pengpeng woke up with a start from the dream. She found herself in a desolate body of water, floating on the surface with her body turned transparent.
She tried hard to recall what had happened, but her memory stopped at the moment when she was killed by Huo Jingting and Qin Ledi.
However, for some reason, she felt that the resentment in her heart was not as strong as before.
This greatly surprised Wu Pengpeng, who always clearly distinguished between kindness and grudges. How could she be so calm after being killed?
When did she become such a naive and self - sacrificing person?
Before Wu Pengpeng could recover from the shock of her sudden change, she heard a crisp childish voice: "You're awake!"
As if someone had snapped their fingers by her ear, after the crisp sound, her memory began to gradually recover like a melting snowfield.
She remembered that after being killed by Huo Jingting, she made a deal with the Heavenly Dao. Then she became the heir to the world's richest family and had to squander the Wu family's one - trillion - yuan fortune within three years.
As for what happened later, she couldn't remember a thing.
Looking at her transparent arm, Wu Pengpeng was a bit confused: "Am I dead?"
"Yup!" The Heavenly Dao said quite happily, "Congratulations! You've successfully managed to kill yourself."
Damn it! Stupid Heavenly Dao! You're playing with me!
Before she could finish scolding, the Heavenly Dao interrupted: "No swearing allowed!"
Wu Pengpeng turned her head and said nothing, completely shutting herself off.
She had finally got an extra life, but she'd squandered it in a muddle. Moreover, she didn't even know how she'd died.
Just as Wu Pengpeng was so depressed that she wanted to curse the heavens, she felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes.
She looked down and saw a cute little baby about five or six years old standing in front of her. With round eyes and a round face, the baby was even cuter than the ones in New Year paintings.
Wu Pengpeng struggled hard to control the corners of her mouth that were rising uncontrollably.
So cute! I want to pinch.
As this thought flashed through her mind, she heard the Heavenly Dao say with a smile: "Not angry anymore?"
Wu Pengpeng: "..."
She'd miscalculated. Since the Heavenly Dao could read her mind, she shouldn't have thought about such random things!
Although the Heavenly Dao cub was very cute, life was more precious.
Wu Pengpeng turned her head to the other side and continued to shut herself off: "How can I not be angry?"
The Heavenly Dao turned around following her line of sight, then leaned his round face over and coaxed her in a tone like he was talking to a child: "Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have laughed at you. Don't be angry!"
As soon as Wu Pengpeng looked into his round face, her anger inexplicably subsided a great deal: "Can I ask you a question?"
The Heavenly Dao blinked his big round eyes, looking pure and innocent: "Go ahead, but I can only answer one question. Think it over before you ask."
Without thinking, Wu Pengpeng asked: "Do people have an afterlife?"
"No." The Heavenly Dao gave her a disdainful look, as if the words "I despise you" were written on his forehead, "You were raised under the influence of materialism. How can you be so superstitious?"
Wu Pengpeng felt that her three - outlooks had been rubbed against the ground 360 degrees without any dead ends.
I've traveled to a parallel world, and I can't even look forward to a past and future life?
Seeing that she didn't say a word, the Heavenly Dao softened his tone and said: "Don't be so depressed. Considering that you've abided by the rules of the deal and that you were implicated this time, I've decided to give you another chance."
Wu Pengpeng's eyes lit up. Did this mean she didn't have to vanish into thin air?
"This is the last chance!" The Heavenly Dao frowned seriously and warned, "If you lose your life again, you'll really die. I don't have the authority to help you anymore."
Wu Pengpeng nodded like a bobble - head: "What chance?"
The Heavenly Dao gave her a rather disgusted look and said seriously: "There are three world dimensions in the entire universe, and there's a 'you' in each world. You've already wasted two characters, so now you can only find the last one."
Wu Pengpeng readily agreed: "Okay! Okay!"
She couldn't help pinching the Heavenly Dao's soft face. It felt really good.
Then she suddenly thought of a serious question: "Will the third one be difficult?"
What if she wasted this one too? Wouldn't she be completely out of luck?
The Heavenly Dao slapped her hand away and rubbed his pinched face: "The difficulty of the next one has been reduced. You just need to stay safe until the end of the mission. You'll be able to live a new life in three months."
That's great! Finally, she could survive.
Wu Pengpeng said cheerfully: "Then let's hurry up..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a sobbing sound suddenly came from beside her ear. It was so sad that it broke people's hearts.
Wu Pengpeng looked down. In the hospital operating room, a man was lying beside her corpse, crying bitterly.
She didn't know who he was, but his cries were like a sharp knife, stabbing at the softest part of her heart again and again.
For some reason, even though she was already a soulless spirit, she felt that she was in so much pain that she was about to die.
She had to stop and cover her chest. Her voice was trembling: "Who is he?"
The Heavenly Dao glanced in the direction she was looking and said coldly: "It's none of your business."
Seeing that Wu Pengpeng was standing still, he couldn't help urging: "Let's go!"
Wu Pengpeng hesitated: "But..."
"Don't 'but' anymore!" The Heavenly Dao frowned. There was a kind of dignity on his face that didn't match his age, "Don't you want to live?"
Wu Pengpeng instinctively nodded: "I do."
But she didn't want him to cry anymore.
She had lived for thirty years, and no one had ever cried for her.
On a whim, she pointed at her own corpse in the operating room and asked: "Can I go back there?"
The Heavenly Dao looked at her silently, with a kind of chilling coldness in his eyes.
Wu Pengpeng gritted her teeth and repeated: "Can I?"
The Heavenly Dao was silent for a while. Suddenly, his expression became very cold: "You need to think this over. Once you choose to return to that body, the passage to the third world will be completely closed. Even if you fail the mission in the future, you won't have another chance to start over."
Wu Pengpeng thought seriously for a long time and then nodded: "Yes, I've thought it over."
Looking at her blank but determined eyes, the Heavenly Dao felt a bit reluctant: "I'll tell you the truth. The difficulty of your current mission is very high, and the probability of your completing it is not very great."
Wu Pengpeng smiled indifferently: "How do you know if you don't try?"
The Heavenly Dao couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart. Her memory of this part had clearly been erased. Why was she still so stubborn?
"Impossible for you to go back so easily." Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, he had no choice but to tell her the consequences, "All your previous achievements in squandering money will be reset to zero, and you have to start all over again. However, the time that has passed won't be made up for you."
Although Wu Pengpeng had no memory of squandering money, she vaguely felt that it might be very difficult.
However, she didn't care. All she wanted now was to go back and make that man stop crying. She was back.
"It doesn't matter." She said, "As long as I can go back."
The Heavenly Dao looked at her deeply and finally said resignedly: "I don't have the authority to help you this time. Your wounds won't heal automatically, and you have to bear all the pain by yourself."
Wu Pengpeng was most afraid of pain. Looking at the "herself" covered in wounds on the hospital bed, she couldn't help frowning.
The Heavenly Dao noticed her reaction and silently let out a sigh of relief in his heart: "Do you still want to?"
Wu Pengpeng looked back at him and nodded heavily: "Yes."
"Idiot!" The Heavenly Dao glared at her irritably, "Get out of here!"
Wu Pengpeng thought to herself, Why are you scolding me? Before she could say anything, she felt as if she had been pushed. Her soul began to fall and finally landed in a broken body.
All her senses suddenly woke up. A tearing pain swept over her whole body, and she couldn't help groaning.
He Qian Shan was overwhelmed by great sorrow. His chest felt as if it was lacking oxygen, and his head was dizzy.
Hearing the groan, he thought he was having an auditory hallucination. He looked up blankly and saw the "corpse" on the bed looking blankly at him.
He blinked his eyes, and the "corpse" also blinked its eyes. Only then did he finally confirm that it was not a hallucination.
As if he was afraid of disturbing her, he said in a very soft voice: "Are you a zombie?"
