Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 422: Mo Chou (60)

"If we thought about it, don't you also think that their story is a bit ridiculous? Especially given the fact he paid that much" The questions then poured out of his mouth. His consciousness returned to the topic.

"Yet after becoming a human, the other seemed to have forgotten about him and only remembered him when she bumped into you."

"In the first place, the two had bonded so little when they were still alive. Isn't it confusing why one is so adamant on lending a hand to her, the other so fixated on chasing his traces when she regained memories of him?"

Zhan Rong was intently listening to him all this time. The gears in her brain worked rapidly. Moments later, she tilted her head at the conclusion she arrived at. 

"It's all illogical." 

Gu Mochou also recovered from the shock and shuddered after digesting what she just heard. 

The heavy traffic made the car stopped, so Zhan Rong crossed her arms. She then spoke again, this time in a matter-of-fact tone, "However, ghosts exist, so other mysterious circumstances can take place too."

"If Gu Mochou could come back to life, why can't the others too?"

The ghost in her passenger seat slightly widened his eyes at her.

Zhan Rong saw the intrigue in his expression, so she explained. "In fact, it's not impossible for her, me, Zhao Bolin, and many others to have reincarnated twice, thrice, or even a dozen times." 

"Of course, this is only an assumption of mine. But if what I said is true, then it's even possible to fall in love at first sight on their next reincarnations. After all, their previous lifetimes were long deeply intertwined with each other. I mean that woman and that guy."

Her eyes settled on the car in front as she shrugged her shoulders and added calmly. "Unfortunately, I doubt that Zhao Bolin guy can still reincarnate and continue the cycle. It's you who told me he traded practically his everything for a helper who would save that woman in case she landed in a tricky situation." 

"If possible, I want to meet Gu Mochou's wandering soul, wherever she is while in a coma. I want to slap her for kidnapping me and repeat to her everything you told me and watch her despair."

"I want to tell to her face 'I hope the satisfaction your revenge gave you is greater than the satisfaction you would have gotten if you chose to reincarnate into better timelines with him'."

Zhan Rong's mind had been very open to supernatural things ever since she got the third eye and the system. It was easy for her to think of a seemingly farfetched possibility. The concept of reincarnation and karma had not been around for a brief period. Even if it was not her, some other people would come to that conclusion. 

As for that last part, she meant it. 

"Right." Jiang Li blanked out for a moment before bursting into chuckles. He stared at her meaningfully. 

The ghost's mouth moved for almost a minute.

Because that sensitive topic about reincarnation was brought up, he subconsciously told her that she was correct. Two or more people could have several lifetimes and they, amongst these couples, were one pair that had met in various worlds and circumstances. 

'Save villainesses from dying insane or else their resentment would cause world destructions.' One reason Jiang Li could turn a blind eye to the silliness of his so-called missions was that in every world-hop, he could collect points to go back. He could also repeatedly meet 'her'. 

If Zhan Rong could retain her memories of him per world, it would have been more perfect.

Sadly, when he finished speaking, like what always happened before, time seemed to have frozen her, and everything he said never made way into her ears. It was a sign that to the girl's eyes, he opened his mouth for a second and said nothing.

'F*ck you, system.' Jiang Li resolved to verbally abuse the annoying thing in his head later. 

Zhan Rong was unaware of the ghost's feeling. After explaining her answer, she realized the matter between those two mattered little.

What was more important for her was to clarify whether his concern over Gu Mochou was nothing more than a sense of responsibility on Zhao Bolin's behalf. 

She asked in a soft voice. "Just because she's in that state, you won't suddenly leave and go back to the underworld, right?"

"No," he replied. "Actually, something is preventing me from being away from you."

'The system'. Zhan Rong nodded, quite in awe of the great being who could shackle a bigshot like Jiang Li to her side. Just a bit of hassle that even though her purpose was not to summon it, the panel popped up. When Jiang Li acted like he could not see it, she snorted.

Afterward, Zhan Rong stopped caring about the past and Gu Mochou's matter to not be angered by it. While waiting for the vehicles in front to move, she fished out her phone and browsed for corporate news and balance sheets. In no time, a fashion website was opened and another minute later, she was phoning her favorite store. 

Jiang Li continued sitting in the passenger seat. When the sun shone his spot, he felt uncomfortable. Yet, before he went back to the necklace, the girl turned to him and said, "Hey, wait, can you change back to the previous appearance for a few seconds?" 

He complied. Gu Mochou saw the familiar face, but she didn't find herself attracted to it. She even felt angry that her enemy used that face.

Zhan Rong too seemed to be no longer pleased with that impeccable appearance. "As expected, I prefer the other. The real one," she murmured. 

Jiang Li shrugged. In a second, he turned back into his actual face. Likewise, he also felt more at ease with this one. 

"Please call me later. I have to go to sleep now." With a smile, he vanished into the necklace.

At the same time that he disappeared from Gu Mochou's sight, the mirror and the scenes playing there faded altogether. 

The place became pitch-black again. 

Within the independent dimension at the abandoned temple near Zhao Village, which was at the boundary between the material world and the underworld, her soul collapsed weakly on the floor. 

Shone by the weak light from the vanishing screen, Gu Mochou forgot about the last scene that she saw. Playing in her head were the mocking words that came out of Zhan Rong's mouth. 

At first, she shivered in anger. However, before she knew it, she slowly sat down to hug her knees. She bit her lips. If ghosts could only shed real tears, she might have even done so, shaken not by the theory of reincarnations thrown out by Zhan Rong, but by the fact that when she turned into a ghost thirty years ago, she personally imprisoned that guy's soul inside this mysterious space. 

She even forgot about him. 

Perhaps to go back, to achieve vengeance, what she traded with a consul was some of her memories and the other party chose the only good things experienced at the village.

Yet in this very place where she was confined now, that mentally handicapped guy sacrificed himself for her sake without her knowledge. Zhao Bolin did not have to do that. Their encounters were too few, and the side of her that he saw was the pitiful and broken 'her'. In other words, his reason was too shallow. So was it because he was a fool that he did that? 

'I wish I have told her, I hope that the satisfaction you received from your revenge is greater than the satisfaction you would have gotten from being with him in another life and timeline.'

The hateful words seemed to echo more clearly because the place was back to extreme darkness and tranquillity. It proved to have affected the villainess. 

Yesterday, Gu Mochou loved imagining the fire and tide of malevolent spirits that ruined the Zhao Village. She laughed at the ghost king who she thought had no idea that she was already a victor when Zhao Ai got kidnapped. She imagined the reactions of Zhao Ai once that woman realized she was to be sold at another mountain village, doomed to be violated by several men and treated like a mother pig. The news would not veil the female lead's name so Zhao Ming, that devil, would definitely hear about it. 

In fact, she also instructed some lesser spirits to set up Fan Zheng into an accident in case he still managed to reunite with Zhao Ai. Once they commenced that plan, the male lead would also get into a car crash or anything as fatal, with the goal of not taking his life, but only shocking his brain.

If he got amnesia, she would pretend as his lover, if not and the brain damage led to a more serious condition, she would make sure Zhao Ai would be shackled to Fan Zheng's side, forever taking care of a disabled, if not, mentally challenged person.

All these calculations. It showed how Gu Mochou badly wanted to win the game and finished her revenge.

But now she didn't know. Her mind had flown away.
