The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Jiang Jingchen finally saw clearly that the blurry, almost transparent figure was Shen Er.

"Dad!" Jiang Jingchen rushed over and tried to hug Shen Er, but missed.

"He is dead, and this is his ghost." Shu Wanwan saw the two people in front of her. They were not father and son but were as close as father and son. She felt mixed emotions in her heart.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Jiang Jingchen had already burst into tears, and Shen Er also shed two lines of blood and tears.

"Let's not talk about this for now. He just blocked the little ghost's attack for you. Now the ghost energy around him is almost dissipated. There is not much time left. You should hurry up and catch up with him." After Shu Wanwan finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to walk out of the villa.

Shu Wanwan thought about it and walked back, "You! Come out with me." She pointed at the thin male ghost dressed as a scholar hiding in the corner and said.

"Ah? Can you see me too?" The scholar ghost pointed at his own face and asked a little scared.

"Stop talking nonsense." After saying that, Shu Wanwan opened her notebook and drew a talisman with a pen, "Collect!" The thin male ghost was received into the talisman by Shu Wanwan.

"Dad, what's going on?" Jiang Jingchen originally had a sunny and cheerful personality, but he became taciturn in recent years. He had gradually become calmer, but now he couldn't control his expression and burst into tears.

"Aci, after you left, your wife and I missed you very much. Later, your wife fell ill, and I took care of her for three years. But she really couldn't hold on any longer. Her last wish was to see you again." Shen Er said, touching Jiang Jingchen's hand in the void. Although there was no touch, Jiang Jingchen seemed to feel the power, and raised his hand, wanting to be touched by the old man.

"Aci, after my wife died, I had a premonition that I wouldn't live long either. I didn't want to carry any regrets, and I wanted to see you one last time. Later, I walked a long way, but unfortunately, I was too old to be useful. When I got on the bus, I thought I'd see you soon, but I fell asleep. I never woke up again." Shen Er's tears of blood fell on his almost transparent body. Shen Er died on the bus he was on while looking for Jiang Jingchen, peacefully, as if he had just slept.

"Dad..." Jiang Jingchen couldn't say anything after hearing that, only sobbing. His heart ached so much, as if it was being torn apart.

"Aci, later I woke up, but it was as if I wasn't awake. I saw my body, and I was sleeping on it, but my body was so light. I finally got to your side faster, but when I found you, I saw you kneeling in front of a tablet. On the tablet was still the same monster, sucking something from you. I didn't know what it was. I stood in front of you to protect you." The old man spoke slowly. Yes, if Shen Er hadn't stood in front of Jiang Jingchen at that time, Shen Er might still be alive when he was sent to the hospital. Although the old man didn't know about this, even if he knew, he would have stood in front of Jiang Jingchen without hesitation.

"So it was you who hindered the sacrifice, right? Dad!"

"I don't know what sacrifice is. I only know that you are my son and I must protect you."

When Jiang Jingchen was little, Shen Er actually wanted Jiang Jingchen to call him grandpa because the age gap was too big, but Jiang Jingchen didn't want to. At that time, Jiang Jingchen smiled and said, "Why call me grandpa or grandma? I am your biological son. I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."

But now he didn't even see Old Lady Shen for the last time. Fortunately, there was Shu Wanwan, otherwise he would probably never know that Shen Er was by his side.

"An old friend of mine... Dad, it's you, right? You were the one who saved me from the sea, right?!" Jiang Jingchen had never cried so hard before. Not when he was tortured by Jiang's mother, not when he was imprisoned, not when he was sacrificed, not when he jumped into the sea. But facing this old man, this was all his weakness.

"You're still talking about this. I'm so tired. I've been pulling you for more than ten hours. If I hadn't met that little girl, I wouldn't have been able to hold you anymore." Shen Er smiled slightly, tears streaming down his face, and his face was full of heartache. "Silly child, your mother and I have never wished for you to get into a good university. We want you to live a happy and healthy life. Because you are our Ah Ci, a gift from God to us."

As if he had said his last words, Shen Er touched Jiang Jingchen's face in mid-air, and then disappeared into the air bit by bit.

"Child, take good care of yourself in the future."

"Dad...ah..." Jiang Jingchen wanted to hug the man in front of him, but he couldn't do anything. Suddenly, it was as if nothing had happened. Yuan Hui's body was still lying on the sofa, and the blood on the ground was still wet. But the old man disappeared forever.

Jiang Jingchen cried for a long time before walking out of the villa. He did not touch anything in the villa. He looked at Shu Wanwan who was sitting in the garden with her eyes closed and concentrating.

"Are you okay?" Shu Wanwan asked without opening her eyes.

"Yeah." Jiang Jingchen didn't say much.

"Take me home. It's hard to get a taxi near your home." Shu Wanwan opened her eyes and put on her small backpack.

"it is good."

In the car, the two looked at each other in silence. Shu Wanwan knew how big a blow this was to Jiang Jingchen. Shu Wanwan thought for a while and spoke.

"Don't touch anything in the villa. Just hand over the surveillance footage intact to the police station. As for your previous villa, the memorial tablet in your father's funeral hall is already an ordinary one. There's no problem. As for the ghost in the villa in the western suburbs, the police should be able to capture it." As early as when she got in the car, Shu Wanwan had checked online and confirmed that there were organizations similar to those that specialized in capturing ghosts in this era. That's why she said that.

"Okay. I understand. I have something else to ask you."

"Your adoptive father consumed too much ghost energy at sea before, so when you returned to the villa in the western suburbs, you were considered the master of the house, so you were the target of the evil ghost. He couldn't protect you because the evil ghost possessed you. Later, when he recovered, he continued to stay by your side. Naturally, the evil ghost couldn't get close to you, so it turned to Yuan Hui, who was originally supporting the little ghost." Shu Wanwan spoke without waiting for Jiang Jingchen to ask. Since she knew it, she didn't want to waste words and told him directly.

What Shu Wanwan didn't mention was that with her life-saving talisman, even if Shen Er hadn't saved him when the little ghost attacked, he wouldn't have died. But she understood Shen Er. Shen Er saved Jiang Jingchen only out of a father's instinct to protect his son, and he wouldn't have considered these things at all. Even if Shen Er had been by Jiang Jingchen's side and witnessed Shu Wanwan's abilities, he wouldn't have just sat back and watched.

"So that's how it is." Jiang Jingchen said, and choked up again.

When we arrived downstairs at Shu Wanwan's house, the elevator arrived with a "ding" sound.

"Then I'll go back first." Shu Wanwan waved while sitting in the elevator.

"Okay." Jiang Jingchen also waved his hand.

Oh, I’m finally home, my little bed, I missed you so much… “Gurgle gurgle” my stomach is rumbling,

"I'm not saying anything, your stomach hasn't been rumbling for a long time, why is it rumbling now? Oh, if I had known, I would have had a meal with Jiang Jingchen before coming back." Shu Wanwan touched her rumbling stomach with a worried look on her face.

Shu Wanwan sat up suddenly. No!!! She forgot to collect the money from Jiang Jingchen!! And it was even worse!! She'd spent the whole day fortune-telling, drawing talismans, and catching ghosts!! And she'd used up all the spiritual energy she'd recently recovered!! She hadn't made a penny!!

Shu Wanwan slapped her forehead and fell back on the bed.
