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

The cold corpse was the sister she had been looking for - Yuchi Xiaosheng.

Dai Yan widened her eyes and stared straight ahead, as if she wanted to see if everything in front of her was just a nightmare.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change what had happened.

Her body gradually lost strength, her legs could no longer support her, and she collapsed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

At this moment, her eyes were empty and lifeless, like a body without a soul.

The grand blueprints and dreams of great achievements that I once had in my heart turned into nothing in an instant.

What with the conflicts among nations and what with the struggle for the country and the people, it all seems so ridiculous at this moment.

"It turns out... all of this is so ridiculous."

Dai Yan muttered to herself, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

“All the fighting and all the scheming cannot overcome the cowardice deep within the human heart.”

Her gaze slowly moved and stopped at the pool of blood on the ground, and a feeling of sadness surged in her heart.

"And that so-called scheming emperor is nothing but a foolish and incompetent tyrant! A wicked ruler filled with evil!"

Dai Yan suddenly screamed hysterically, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

After a long while, Dai Yan seemed to recover a little from her despair.

Her body trembled violently and she ran frantically towards the other end of the cell.

There, a strange formation emitting a dim light came into her sight.

In the center of the formation, there was an iron box exactly the same as the one seen before.

Dai Yan was like a madman. She raised the sword in her hand and slashed at the chain desperately.

Again and again, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the cell.

At this moment, Zuo Jue and his companions, who had been waiting anxiously outside, found that the guards in the cell began to evacuate.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen, they acted decisively and quietly sneaked into the cell.

As soon as they entered, they were stunned by the scene before them - they saw Dai Yan with disheveled hair holding an iron box, her eyes dull and she was muttering to herself.

When he looked closely, he saw a horrifying and horrific thing in the iron box - a mass of meat mixed with blood!

The bloody smell spread instantly, filling the entire space and making people feel nauseous.

At this moment, Zuo Jue rushed forward like an arrow, quickly stretched out his hands to support Dai Yan, who was on the verge of falling and seemed like she would fall at any time.

His deep eyes were filled with worry, and he asked anxiously, "Young Madam, how are you? What happened? Why did you become like this?"

Dai Yan slowly turned her head, her face now covered with tears.

She looked at Zuo Jue, her lips trembling slightly, and her voice was so choked that she could hardly form a sentence.

"Sister, she...she..."

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, filled with endless sorrow.

She couldn't say anything, so she could only raise her hand and point tremblingly at the iron box next to her that exuded a strong smell of blood, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Then she pointed to the other end of the cell, her eyes full of despair.

Zuo Jue was shocked and quickly led people over.

I saw an identical iron box surrounded by a strange atmosphere that made people shudder.

Zuo Jue frowned and thought to himself.

Until he saw the face that looked somewhat similar to Dai Yan.

At this time, one of the companions came forward, carefully observing the formation and the iron box, and said in a deep voice: "This formation does not seem to be a decent formation."

Dai Yan wiped away her tears, stood up bravely, and said with a firm look in her eyes, holding the sword tightly in her hand: "Destroy this formation!"

"Young Madam." Zuo Jue hesitated.

"This is used by the Northern Kingdom's monarch to suppress the dead souls, and I will not let him do as he wishes."

Zuo Jue looked at Dai Yan's determined expression and nodded.

He signaled his men to prepare to destroy the formation. Everyone drew their weapons and chopped at the hexagonal chains that secured the iron box.

She swung her sword and chopped the last chain on the iron box with all her strength.

As the last chain broke, the lid of the iron box fell to the ground.

The bodies in the death row disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if they had been devoured by the undead.

The ghost inside rushed out instantly and pounced directly towards Zuo Jue and others.

A female voice came and rushed towards Dai Yan.

"Sister Xiaosheng, let's go."

Dai Yan looked closely and saw the woman in a snow-white robe, looking lively and cute, like a little rabbit.

It’s Lu Zhaoxue.

This was the first time she saw Dai Yan, and when she looked at her from a distance, she actually recognized the wrong person.

Urgent situation.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoxue quickly cast a spell. A ray of light shot out from her hand, enveloping the dead soul.

However, the power of the ghosts was beyond her expectations, and the light gradually dimmed.

Seeing that the ghost was about to break free from the restraints, Lu Zhaoxue gritted his teeth and exerted force again.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound was heard, and the ghosts seemed to be controlled and stopped attacking.

"I can't control it for long, Sister Xiaosheng..." Lu Zhaoxue turned around and looked carefully, and found that the person she was protecting behind her was not Yuchi Xiaosheng, but someone else.

"Who are you?" Lu Zhaoxue asked hesitantly.

"Don't ask so many questions, let's go first." Dai Yan held Lu Zhaoxue's hand with one hand and held the iron box with the other hand, "Zuo Jue, take the other iron box with you."

"Yes, young lady."

Several people evacuated quickly.

The sound of the flute gradually faded away, and the ghosts regained their freedom and continued to chase them.

Dai Yan ran hard with Lu Zhaoxue, while Zuo Jue and other guards followed behind and fought fiercely with the ghosts.

Suddenly, a cliff appeared ahead, with no way to escape.

Dai Yan was extremely anxious. At this moment, the iron box in her arms emitted a strange light, and a voice came into her mind: "Open the iron box. This is the only way to solve the crisis today."

Dai Yan did not open the iron box, but it opened by itself, and a powerful aura emanated from it, driving the dead souls away.

At the same time, a mysterious force lifted them up and slowly sent them to a safe area.

This power was not as bloody as the scene inside the iron box, but rather gentle.

And she was very familiar with that voice, Xiao Sheng.

After landing, the lid of the iron box was closed. Dai Yan's eyes were vague, as if she was distracted.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhaoxue smiled and said, "We are safe for now."

"You look so much like Sister Xiaosheng. Are you the second daughter of the Yuchi family?"

Hearing Lu Zhaoxue's words, the word "Xiao Sheng" lingered in Dai Yan's mind.

Dai Yan seemed to have realized something and opened the iron box she was hugging against her chest.

Apart from the smell of blood, there was nothing inside, not even a drop of blood left.

"Sister!!!!"

"Sister..." Dai Yan murmured to herself, tears sliding down her cheeks.

Lu Zhaoxue didn't understand what was going on. She only saw the woman in front of her holding an empty box and crying until she almost fainted.

Lu Zhaoxue gently patted Dai Yan's shoulder and comforted her, "Sister, don't be sad."

At this time, Zuo Jue came over and reported to Dai Yan: "Young Madam, those ghosts have been repelled."

Dai Yan nodded woodenly, holding the empty box in her arms.

"But what should we do now?" a man asked.

Zuo Jue looked at Dai Yan, then looked around. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then think about what to do next."

Zuo Jue looked at the woman in white, then looked at Dai Yan, and then spoke.

"Young Madam, she..." She seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Dai Yan understood Zuo Jue's meaning and then spoke.

"It doesn't matter, let her stay or go."

"Yes."

So, everyone found a cave nearby and rested for a while.

Lu Zhaoxue didn't know how he had mixed in with this group of people and seemed out of place.

Lu Zhaoxue was still wondering why the Western Suburbs Death Row was empty since he was just visiting the prison.

But Lu Zhaoxue was not stupid. She quickly figured out the general situation, but there were some things she couldn't figure out.

Sister Xiaosheng was imprisoned, so it was reasonable for the second Miss Yuchi to appear here to save her.

But what are those undead? If I hadn’t learned a few moves from Xiaosheng and hadn’t had that inexplicable halo, I would probably have died here.

She didn't know the purpose of these people, but from what Miss Yuchi said, she knew they had no ill intentions towards her.

Dai Yan sat in the cave, staring at the iron box in her hand, her mind full of thoughts.
