Chapter 425 Variables
Faced with Dong Jinlong's begging, Song Ci would naturally not relent.
He used this evil technique to steal the lives of countless people. The souls of those whose lives were stolen completely disappeared from the world. Do they all deserve this?
So no matter how Dong Jinlong begged, Song Ci remained indifferent.
At the beginning, Dong Jinlong's pleading voice was still loud, but gradually it became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a low whisper.
The reason for this was that Dong Jinlong was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. He had collapsed on the ground and could not stand up at all. His skin was loose, his eyes were cloudy, and his body even emitted a foul odor.
It seemed that this kind of evil magic could not be interrupted. Song Ci looked at the gold ring full of runes on his finger.
This ring and necklace are a pair, forming a child-mother relationship. Anyone who can come up with this kind of evil magic is also a genius.
"Can you tell me the origin of this thing?" Song Ci squatted down and asked.
At this time, Dong Jinlong had reached the end of his life. After hearing this, he just glanced at Song Ci lightly with turbid eyes.
However, at this time, his eyes no longer looked pleading, but instead showed a bit of relief and relief, which Song Ci did not expect.
He did not answer Song Ci's question, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking Song Ci.
Song Ci didn't pay attention, but said calmly: "It doesn't matter, it will be the same after you die."
Hearing Song Ci's words, Dong Jinlong, who was originally relieved, showed a bit of panic. He tried hard to open his eyes and say something, but it was already too late.
His soul left his body, but before he could react.
Song Ci felt a hot feeling in his chest, and [Reincarnation Bamboo] appeared out of thin air with a force that directly dragged Dong Jinlong's soul in. Dong Jinlong didn't even have time to scream.
Zhu Yuanlin shivered when he saw it, and quietly moved back, as far away as possible.
Song Ci didn't pay attention to him, but took off the ring on Dong Jinlong's hand.
"He...he's dead, what should we do now?"
Tang Weiwei finally felt panicked when she looked at the mess on the ground and Dong Jinlong lying motionless on the ground.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Song Ci looked up at her.
"thanks, thanks……"
Upon hearing this, Tang Weiwei quickly thanked her, without the decisive temperament she had just now.
"You are too reckless." Song Ci said.
He also didn't expect that Tang Weiwei would be so decisive and ready to avenge Zhu Yuanlin.
This made him think of Jiang Yumei, and the same thing happened.
So although he is powerful, things are often out of his control.
"Um... Mr. Song, Yuan Lin... can he still be saved?"
Tang Weiwei looked at Song Ci with a pleading look, hoping to get the answer she wanted from Song Ci.
Zhu Yuanlin was the same way, looking at Song Ci with a worried face.
"If Zhu Yuanlin's body had not been destroyed, maybe he could be saved." Song Ci said.
Obviously this is impossible. Not to mention cremation, it has been so long that it may have already rotted.
"Then...is there any other way?" Tang Weiwei looked at Song Ci almost pleadingly, almost kneeling down in front of him.
In their eyes, Song Ci is a god, and there must be other ways.
Song Ci shook his head directly.
If Dong Jinlong is a young and strong person who has not yet finished his life, then the same method can be used to reverse the evil spell and in turn seize his destiny.
But now that Dong Jinlong is dead, everything is over. Even if he is not dead, there is no point in taking away his life. What do you want from him, his old body?About to run out of life?
Or find another person and use the same magic to take away other people's lives. But in this case, what is the difference between him and Dong Jinlong?
Seeing that Song Ci spoke so decisively, Zhu Yuanlin and Tang Weiwei both fell silent.
Song Ci took off the [Reincarnation Bamboo] from his neck, handed it to Zhu Yuanlin, and motioned for him to put it on.
Zhu Yuanlin was a little confused and a little scared, and he didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.
"It's okay. What belongs to you will be returned to you." Song Ci said.
Seeing Song Ci's insistence, Zhu Yuanlin could only reluctantly take it, put it around his neck, and gave the fake [Reincarnation Bamboo] back to Song Ci.
After the exchange was completed, Song Ci opened his palm and saw that the ring lying in his palm was the ring that had just been taken off Dong Jinlong's hand. Song Ci looked down and then clenched it tightly.
Then the ability of [Reverse Cause and Effect] was activated. At this moment, the [Reincarnation Bamboo] hanging on Zhu Yuanlin's neck instantly bloomed with countless golden threads, wrapping his soul. The golden threads originally covering the [Reincarnation Bamboo] Disappears and returns to its original color.
This process was quite fast, and it was over before Zhu Yuanlin could react.
Zhu Yuanlin looked at himself with some surprise. He found that not only his soul had become more solid, but there were even many more memories that did not belong to him, but to Dong Jinlong's memories.
Song Ci shook his head with regret.
Because in addition to the return of the soul power to Zhu Yuanlin himself, his life, longevity, etc., all dissipated in the void because he could not find sustenance.
If anyone were in front of Zhu Yuanlin's grave now, they would definitely find grass growing rapidly on his grave.
Fortunately, people are now cremated. If they are buried, there is a possibility of fake corpses.
Song Ci took off a string of amulets from his wrist, handed it to Zhu Yuanlin and said, "I'll give you a few more hours, so you can say your final goodbyes to your girlfriend."
This is the greatest kindness he can do.
"Thank you." Zhu Yuanlin reached out and took it.
Then he appeared in front of Tang Weiwei again. "Piggy." Tang Weiwei stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
Zhu Yuanlin also reached out and hugged Tang Weiwei tightly.
Song Ci didn't care about them anymore, but picked up Dong Jinlong's body and disappeared into the rental house in an instant.
As for how to dispose of the body, it is very simple and there are many methods. Even the police will not find Dong Jinlong. After all, he has been living as Zhu Yuanlin during this period of time.
The reason why no one noticed it was because the witchcraft had changed the perception. Now that the witchcraft has been broken, everything will return to its original track soon.
What Song Ci didn't know was that due to the "reversed cause and effect" relationship, Zhu Yuanlin devoured Dong Jinlong's memory in disguise.
And when Dong Jinlong is stealing other people's lives, it is naturally impossible for him to be willing to give up his past wealth.
For example, the money for buying a house a few days ago came from this.
Moreover, the money had been handled by Dong Jinlong a long time ago and was inherited reasonably and legally, so that no one would discover or find out the problem.
So Zhu Yuanlin naturally would not miss this opportunity, even though he was dead and had no need for these.
But his family and loved ones were still alive, and he wanted them to live better.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

"Why didn't you come back until now? We've almost finished eating."
Seeing Song Ci come back, Yun Wanli complained casually.
"Sorry, sorry, I just answered a phone call." Song Ci said with a smile.
Yun Wanli roughly guessed something and didn't continue after hearing the words.
On the contrary, Zhou Yutong showed a hint of suspicion.
"Sister-in-law, don't look at me, eat." Seeing her staring at him, Song Ci greeted with a smile.
"Bah, what are you shouting for?" Yun Wanli clicked his tongue.
Turning to look at Zhou Yutong beside him, he said: "You eat what you have and don't look at him. If you do this, I will be jealous."
Zhou Yutong's cheeks turned red, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's all nonsense."
Song Ci laughed when he heard this.
Zhou Yutong immediately glared at him and said, "I don't think you are a good person either."
"Uh……"
"You have such nice eyes, but he is not a good person. Stay away from him." Yun Wanli teased with a smile.
The three of them chatted and laughed and ate for about an hour before checking out and leaving the hot pot restaurant.
"Yutong and I will go back first and won't go up," Yun Wanli said.
"In such a hurry? Don't you want to go up and sit down?"
"No, there are still things in the bureau."
"I think you're afraid of going up there. Should I let you work again?"
"No nonsense, let's go." Yun Wanli pulled Zhou Yutong directly towards the parking lot.
Zhou Yutong quickly waved his hand to Song Ci.
Song Ci also waved his hand and said: "Slow down on the road."
At this moment, Yun Wanli turned around and said, "We must hurry up on the case."
"I know." Song Ci responded when he heard the words.
Yun Wanli was talking about the case of underage torture and murder of a young woman that was handed over to him after the holidays.
Song Ci turned around and went upstairs, deciding to take a closer look at the file.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the company, I saw a person standing in front of the door holding a bag and a bouquet of flowers.
The upper body is in a white placket and the lower body is in a blue horse-faced skirt. She has an outstanding figure and a charming smile.
When he saw Song Ci coming back, he immediately handed over the flowers with a smile.
"Great opening."
Song Ci looked at the flowers handed over and said with emotion: "I'm afraid you are the first one to spend money to go to work."
This person was Qiao Yanxia, and it was Song Ci who asked her to report in this afternoon. I didn't expect her to come so early, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting outside the door.
Qiao Yanxia didn't say anything, but handed the flower in her hand forward.
Song Ci was no longer polite, reached out to take it, and then unlocked the door.
"come in."
The moment he entered the door, Song Ci suddenly thought that if a person's lifespan and destiny are fixed from birth, it is the so-called fixed number.
If this is the case, is it certain that Qiao Yanxia will appear in his life from the beginning?Or was it a variable that appeared later?
Song Ci felt that it should be a variable, just like he was Zhu Yuanlin's variable, which led to the failure of Dong Jinlong's magic.
Since there are variables, everything may change.
