An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits

Volume 1. Let the Game Begin

The souls inside the entire carriage had almost all been devoured, and the bodies of the people inside the vehicle were twisted out of shape.

Basically, aside from the girl's corpse, there wasn't a single one that was intact.

At this moment... my soul nearly took up half the carriage, but that grinning face almost occupied the entire vehicle, enveloping me, with its gaping mouth suddenly opening wide to bite into me.

‘I’ was terrified and frantically tried to flee, but... the bus seemed like a sealed space, completely impossible to escape from.

Just then, ‘I’ noticed a beam of light and darted into it—and that light... happened to be the girl's fontanel.

None of the other corpses on the bus were intact, only the girl's body had not suffered any damage.

Her soul had been snatched away by a black claw, but her body... still held some vitality.

It simply lacked a soul.

From a scientific perspective, this should be considered a vegetative state, right?

The best place for a soul to hide should be the body, so in desperation, ‘I’ burrowed into the girl's body.

“So that's how it is...”

Only at this moment did I finally understand why I was able to be reborn in her body, and even possessed all of the girl's memories.

Of course, among these memories were also fragments from other people, but those memories were scattered and incomplete.

Only the girl's memories were relatively whole—perhaps because they had been devoured first, so they were digested the fastest?

After that, there was a sudden blank in memory.

Before my body was flung out, there were no other recollections.

“So that means... for some unknown reason, that bus was targeted by some kind of eerie presence?”

From the girl's memories, I could see that the moment the scenery outside came to a stop was almost exactly the same as when ‘I’ was thrown out.

Which meant... at the moment of the accident, time outside the bus had stopped.

And in the next second... time in the outside world resumed.

Those who died in the eerie incident all appeared to have died in the bus crash.

But in reality... the true cause of their deaths was that eerie event.

And I... escaped into this girl's body after death, thus surviving, and was thrown out the window?

Then now... the one alive—is it Zhang Yiwei’s me?

Or Liu Yunyan’s me?

Looking at it this way, anyone who survived this eerie incident should be able to escape the bus crash, right?

There's a very strange causal relationship here.

Was it because I survived the bus accident that I stayed alive, or was it because I escaped from that eerie grinning face that I lived?

Personally, I lean toward the latter.

After all... my soul and body don’t match.

In other words, if I hadn’t entered this girl’s body, then at best, her current state would be that of a vegetative person.

This death incident... was its cause really that eerie grinning face?

Or was it the bus crash?

I rubbed the bridge of my nose.

I used to be nearsighted and was accustomed to wearing glasses, so I often had the habit of rubbing my nose bridge to relieve eye strain.

But now, without glasses, what I touched was a warm and smooth surface.

Very strangely, the girl’s skin seemed more sensitive than a male’s.

As a guy, the feeling of clothes brushing against skin was never so delicate, but now it felt different.

When clothes slid over the body, it was noticeably more perceptive, clearly feeling the sensation of fabric moving across skin.

Another difference was in vision.

Even though the hospital ward was snow-white, if it were the old me, I would’ve seen it all as the same color.

But now, using Liu Yunyan’s eyes, I could clearly distinguish more vibrant and subtle color differences.

For example... the floor was grayer than the ceiling, and the ceiling was grayer than the walls.

It was a very strange experience.

It’s said that women’s color vision is superior to men’s—never expected it to be true??

I clenched my wrist and felt that I didn’t have much strength, which showed that this girl didn’t exercise often.

Her arms barely had any muscle, and her whole body was too slender.

But maybe due to genetics, her chest was actually quite developed.

“A middle schooler... just a middle schooler! And already a C cup! Tsk... young people today really do develop early.”

Of course, I wasn’t in a hurry to ‘experience’ anything.

The body was soft, the fingers were soft, and anywhere I pinched felt soft... not a single firm place to be found.

Wait, none of that was the point.

The point was... it seemed I could only live on as Liu Yunyan now!

“Sigh...”

“What’s wrong, Yanyan? Where does it hurt?”

Just as I was sighing about my future life, the door suddenly opened.

Turned out half an hour had passed without me noticing.

This ‘Mom’ had already bought the food and returned.

The moment she entered and saw her ‘daughter’ sighing, she definitely thought I was in pain, right?

“It’s nothing... Mom, I’m just too bored...”

I smiled helplessly.

Saying the word ‘Mom’ felt incredibly awkward, but now I had no choice but to keep up the act.

“Bored? What do you want? Well, I’ll go home and get your tablet and laptop later. Really, going out without your phone, and I left in such a rush that I forgot to bring them for you. It’s my fault. Don’t worry, let’s eat first, and I’ll go get them right away.”

This mom really spoiled her kid.

Just one sigh, and she said so much, not even caring that she hadn’t slept in two days.

Looking at the worry in this mother’s eyes, the dark circles under them, and the obviously weakened voice from exhaustion, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart.

Liu Yunyan, oh Liu Yunyan... not to mention your father’s deeply hidden love, at least this mother truly cherished you like a precious gem.

What on earth were you doing, girl?

“Mom...”

I grabbed Lianyu, who was about to turn and leave.

Fine, I wasn’t used to it anyway.

I’d just call her Lianyu in my heart from now on.

“What is it? Are you uncomfortable? I’ll go call the doctor.”

“No, Mom, it’s not urgent for me. You haven’t slept in two days, have you? Get some rest...”

The moment I said that, this mother might really have been moved—or perhaps the previous Liu Yunyan had truly been going through a rebellious phase?

In any case, as soon as the words came out, she immediately shed tears.

“Daughter... my daughter has grown up, truly grown up... she knows how to care about Mom now. It’s fine, I’m fine, you wait here, I’ll go get it for you right away.”

As she spoke, she didn’t even wait for me to say anything else.

She turned and hurried out, wiping her tears as she walked.

“My daughter’s grown up, knows how to care about Mom now... sob sob sob~”

“I...”

I opened my mouth, just about to say something else, but as I shifted sideways, I bumped into my leg, and the pain made me suck in a cold breath.

“Hss~ hoo...”

By the time I endured the pain, this mother had already left the room.

It seemed it was too late to stop her.

I shook my head helplessly.

“Heh... Liu Yunyan, oh Liu Yunyan, you really were a brat before.”

Don’t be fooled by her pretty appearance—she truly was a disrespectful, unruly child.

Maybe it really proved that saying: indulgent mothers raise spoiled kids!

From the memories, it was clear... this Liu Yunyan—every time she argued with her father, she would vent to her mother afterward.

And the reason she ran away from home in a fit of rage this time was because she claimed she had found an older boyfriend.

As a middle schooler acting like this—even her indulgent mother didn’t take her side this time, and that’s what made her so furious she decided to randomly find a man for her first time, hoping to get pregnant and go back just to infuriate her dad.

Tell me... if this isn’t a brat, then what is?

The whole situation had more or less been pieced together.

I then went over the girl’s memories again.

I had to admit—this really was a big family.

Great-grandfather was a veteran Red Army soldier, great-grandmother came from a prestigious family. The mother was currently CEO and chairwoman of a foreign trade company... and the father worked in domestic real estate.

The grandfather was a retired city mayor, the grandmother was a violinist, maternal grandfather a jade merchant, maternal grandmother a returned overseas scholar.

Below Liu Yunyan, there was also a younger brother and younger sister.

Her father was the third in the family, with an elder sister and elder brother above him, and a fourth sister and fifth brother below—this really was a rich family.

“So I’m... fourth-generation red nobility? Fourth-generation rich?”

Her father was now not only in real estate, but involved in other industries as well.

In short... the total assets of his company were at least over a billion, and wearing a four or five hundred thousand yuan watch was nothing.

The mother was the same—a massive foreign trade company, holding both the chairman and CEO positions...

“This really is...”

I didn’t even know what to say.

How did I suddenly become this rich...

To think, my previous self had been too stingy to even pay for a cab, and now I was suddenly a fourth-generation rich kid?

When the mother came back, the doctor had also done a checkup.

After that, the entire family knew I had woken up, and I was swamped with busyness.

Using a WeChat I wasn’t familiar with, looking at that profile picture of Liu Yunyan that made her look like a little delinquent, I gave a helpless smile, then went on a video call one by one with the eldest aunt, second uncle, fourth aunt, fifth uncle and the rest of the relatives.

Then came a whole bunch of cousins, and after that, the two little kids.

Biological younger brother and sister—twins.

The younger brother was Liu Yuncheng, and the younger sister was Liu Yunyu.

In short, after it all, my head was spinning.

After being polite over and over again, I received a total of 800,000 yuan for medical expenses... all transferred via WeChat.

Even these twin siblings each gave me a gift.

The brother gave me a toy he liked, the sister gave me a bottle full of paper cranes.

These two little ones were brought by Lianyu.

I also figured out the names of the parents—Liu Yunyan’s father was called Liu Wanqian, and the mother’s name was Gong Lianyu.

One hand couldn’t move, and one foot couldn’t move.

Although the phone could be operated one-handed, it still felt awkward to me.

But at least I responded appropriately, without revealing any flaws—basically, I acted just like the Liu Yunyan from her own memories.

The eldest aunt, second uncle, fourth aunt, fifth uncle—plus their spouses made eight people.

Each gave ten thousand, and the couples gave one bank card each—each card containing 200,000 yuan. Altogether, it added up to 800,000 yuan. The sons of the eldest aunt and second uncle also gave some money—not much, two or three thousand each.

Suddenly rich!

“Sigh... rich people, huh~”

Looking at this unfamiliar WeChat account, at the unfamiliar yet familiar profile photo, and at the hundred-something thousand yuan sitting in the balance, I couldn’t help but shake my head and let out a long sigh...
