Ten years after the failed awakening, I became a god

"Go back, Miss Shizhen. You will have a better life in the future."

The examiner dealt with the two people without changing his expression, and said to Shi Zhen who was still a little stunned.

Shizhen didn't know how she walked out of the dungeon. Such a scene was too shocking for the young girl.

It was not until the dazzling sunlight outside shone on her eyelids that she slowly came to her senses.

She looked around and found that Mrs. Lin and the examiner who had been taking care of him had not caught up.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she stepped back into the dungeon.

"why?"

"Because you know secrets that you shouldn't know, and your identity is not worthy of being known yet."

"Only the dead can keep secrets forever."

Mrs. Lin's cold voice successfully stopped Shizhen in her tracks.

Shizhen quietly peeked into the dungeon.

The light in the dungeon was very dim, and the damp smell of blood filled her nose.

She saw the examiner's body lying in a pool of blood, and on the other side, Mrs. Lin stood indifferently beside him. She stretched out her hand, and the dagger that was originally stuck in the examiner's body returned to her hand lightly.

She turned around and looked in Shizhen's direction.

"Since you are here, come in."

Shizhen walked out timidly from behind the corner.

"Don't you ask why?"

Shizhen shook her head.

The men and women back then may not have taught her anything else, but she learned to do more and talk less when she was unable to protect herself.

Mrs. Lin smiled, and such a smile seemed very strange on her face in the dark dungeon.

"Then you're not afraid?"

Shizhen shook her head again.

She couldn't explain why, but she felt that Sister Lin would not kill her, so she was not afraid.

Mrs. Lin laughed again.

"I deliberately chose a dagger instead of a pistol. I didn't want you to hear the gunshot. I just didn't expect you to witness the entire killing process. Perhaps it was fate. Everyone needs to learn to grow. Now that you've awakened your spirit, it's time for you to grow up too."

Shizhen blinked as if she understood something.

"Let's go back."

Shizhen obediently followed Mrs. Lin back to the villa.

She finished her dinner without any abnormality on her face, then washed herself and lay down on the bed obediently.

When Mrs. Lin saw how well-behaved the child was, she smiled with satisfaction.

"It looks like you'll be growing up soon."

Shizhen closed her eyes, but the scenes that happened in the dungeon in the afternoon kept lingering in her eyes, unable to go away for a long time.

"Why is this happening? I wish I could turn back time."

Although the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman treated her badly, they did not starve her to death.

Shizhen felt neither sad nor happy about their deaths.

The examiner was the first person to give her candy, and she had thought that she would repay him when she grew up. But now that day has come.

She didn't understand what the other person had done wrong. Why did he have to die when he had done nothing wrong?

Little Shizhen couldn't understand it.

If only time could go back, to the day she met the examiner, then as long as the examiner didn't know her secret, he wouldn't have died, she thought to herself.

Lan Yin saw and heard Shi Zhen's mumbling in her sleep.

In an instant, Lan Yin felt dizzy and her transparent figure returned to the square where the spirits were tested.

"Next, Shizhen."

Lan Yin saw little Shizhen hear the familiar call and run away from the test square without looking back.

"Hey kid, why are you running?"

"Oh, forget it, forget it. It's just a kid who must have run away because he knew he couldn't detect spirits. Work is already annoying, let's finish the test and go back to the inner city. The air outside is really suffocating."

The words of the two examiners reached Lan Yin's ears.

But she didn't care, and her transparent figure followed the little Shizhen.

After she saw Shizhen running away, the middle-aged man and woman quickly caught up with Shizhen, took Shizhen to a casino in the outer city, and sold Shizhen to the casino for 1000 federal coins.

Shizhen's eyes showed disbelief.

She begged the middle-aged man and woman, but received no response.

Soon, Shizhen, unable to bear the torture of the casino, revealed her awakened spirit.

It was the same old man from last time who led her back to the familiar villa.

She saw the familiar Mrs. Lin again.

This time she did not ask to see the middle-aged man and woman.

But one night, she was awakened in her bed by a loud noise.

Shizhen opened her eyes and found that the person in front of her was the examiner who gave her candy before time went back.

The man opposite had red eyes and pointed a gun at Shizhen.

"Why? Why? Why? Why did you run that day?"

Shizhen stared at the other person blankly, not knowing what was going on.

The examiner's eyes were red.

"You clearly have awakened your spirit, so why did you run? Do you know? Because of your running, the higher-ups are accusing me of dereliction of duty and will sentence me to life imprisonment, to be executed immediately. Since you knew you had awakened your spirit, why did you run?"

Shizhen was stunned.

She ran to save the other person, but she didn't say it because she saw red fireworks exploding in front of her eyes again.

The examiner's body fell down, revealing Mrs. Lin standing behind him with a dagger in her hand.

Mrs. Lin came over and touched her head.

"The Wang couple who raised you were the ones who abducted you. According to federal law, they have been sentenced to death. This examiner, due to dereliction of duty, was originally sentenced to life imprisonment. But since he intends to harm you, women and children, I have the right to shoot him immediately."

"How did he get in?"

Shizhen murmured.

She knew this villa because she had tried to run out to play, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't get out of the villa. Except for the time when Sister Lin personally took her to the dungeon.

So, can this tester enter this villa so easily?

"You're right. I was the one who let him in. Learning to take life and death lightly is the first step to becoming a spiritualist."

Mrs. Lin smiled, and a strange smile appeared on her face that was inconsistent with her appearance.

"You've awakened your spirit, it's time to grow up."

Shizhen stared at Mrs. Lin blankly without saying a word, looking as if she was frightened by everything that happened tonight.

"Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up."

Shizhen let Mrs. Lin lay her down on the bed and she closed her eyes quietly.

“If only I could do it all over again.”

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...

Every time Shizhen closed her eyes, she could see the examiner falling in front of her.

Bright red fireworks exploded before her eyes.

For the last time, she didn't close her eyes.

It turns out that no matter how time goes back, the ending cannot be changed.
