Salle d'astrologie avec chair et sang - Chapitre 7
At night, Wenqing touched the scar on his neck, a sudden fear rising within him. This nightmare had made him dread the coming of night. Looking at himself in the mirror, he kept asking himself, "What am I afraid of?"
Then a white-haired boy appeared in the mirror: "You are afraid of yourself."
Wenqing: "Why am I afraid of myself?"
White-haired boy: "Because you no longer believe in my existence."
Wenqing: "I don't believe in your existence? But you are my Ang."
White-haired boy: "No! You are not me, and I am not you. If I were you, I would no longer have fear, but you have fear, and I will leave you."
Wenqing: "Impossible, you can't disappear, because you are me."
The white-haired boy began to grin. Wenqing asked, "What are you laughing at?"
White-haired boy: "Aren't you me? How could you not know what I'm laughing at?"
Wenqing: "I really don't know."
The white-haired boy gradually disappeared in the mirror, and Wenqing stood up in surprise: "You can't leave, you can't leave."
"Wenqing, Wenqing, who are you talking to?" Yaxuan shook Wenqing, who was sleeping in front of the mirror. Wenqing looked up and Yaxuan exclaimed in surprise, "Wenqing, why is your face so pale?"
Wenqing rubbed her eyes: "I think it's because I've been too tired these past few days."
Ya-hsuan: "Are you feeling unwell? Should we see a doctor?"
Wenqing: "No need, I'm fine."
Ya-hsuan: "I don't know why, but I always feel like you're acting strange. What's on your mind?"
Wenqing: "No, really no."
Ya-hsuan: "I cooked you a bowl of noodles, go and eat."
Wenqing: "Yes! Thank you."
After thanking Ya Xuan, Wen Qing walked towards the kitchen. Ya Xuan looked at Wen Qing and couldn't quite put her finger on what was going on. She felt that he no longer seemed as happy as when they first met.

"Young Master, I hope you can come to the company later. I have something to tell you." Wenqing hung up the phone, told her grandmaster, and then went to her boss's company.
Upon arriving at the company, the boss took Wenqing to his office. Before Wenqing could speak, the boss said, "It's like this, I've heard that there are curses used to kill in Chinese magic. I don't know if you've heard of them?"
Wenqing nodded: "What do you mean?" Having learned from previous examples, Wenqing knew his boss must have a reason for asking him this.
The boss smiled and said, "You should know what I mean without me having to explain."
Wenqing: "I can't do it."
Boss: "I knew you would answer me like that, but I was prepared for it."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, he called his secretary to bring in a stack of documents. The boss threw the documents in front of Wenqing: "These are the financial transactions between my company and your temple, as well as the formations you set up in my factory. If all of these are sent to court, do you think I will win if I sue you for fraud?"
Wenqing glanced at the document and felt a chill run down her spine: "Did you do this on purpose?"
The boss smiled and said, "These are just for emergencies. Of course, if you're willing to cooperate with me, you won't need any of these, right?"
Wenqing was trembling with anger, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to give in.
Seeing that Wenqing seemed to have no intention of arguing, the boss took out a photo and birth date of a person: "Help me get rid of this person."
Upon hearing this, Wenqing glared fiercely at the boss, but the boss lazily patted the documents on the table on his lap. Wenqing took the photos and left.
The white-haired youth searched the hillside with his sword and spotted a procession heading to somewhere. There was a sedan chair in the procession, and without thinking, the white-haired youth approached the sedan chair. The guards on the side of the procession saw this and rushed over to stop him. The white-haired youth raised his sword and attacked, quickly taking down four or five guards.
The white-haired youth threatened the other guards: "This is none of your business, get out of the way."
The guards, still armed, approached the white-haired youth. The youth looked at the sedan chair and noticed a talisman on it that read "Guardian Array!" Suddenly realizing something, the youth jumped onto the top of the sedan chair, tore the talisman off, and the surrounding guards collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their power. The youth then used his powers to burn the talisman, and the guards vanished without a trace.
At this moment, the person in the sedan chair rushed out. Upon seeing this, the white-haired youth jumped down and grabbed the person, saying, "No need to run anymore, there is no one else here except me."
The man looked at the white-haired boy in panic: "Spare me! Spare me! I have no grudge against you!"
The white-haired boy didn't answer him and continued dragging him away. Just then, two beams of green light shot towards the white-haired boy. "Stop!"
The white-haired boy looked toward the source of the light: "Senior Sister" It turned out that the one who had stopped him was his senior sister, Yu Se.
Yu Se: "How could you do such a thing?"
The white-haired youth did not answer, but insisted on dragging the person away. Seeing this, Yu Se raised his hand and gathered his energy: "Junior brother, if you don't stop, don't blame me for being ruthless."
White-haired boy: "Senior sister, believe me, I have my own difficulties."
Yu Se: "If you do this, even your master won't forgive you."
The white-haired boy paused for a moment.
Yu Se: "Junior brother, let go. We can discuss anything."
The white-haired youth panicked: "Don't stop me!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing two beams of sword light. Upon seeing this, Yu Se released the energy in his hand. The two beams of true energy collided, creating a huge light. Yu Se changed from being passive to being active and quickly approached the white-haired youth. The white-haired youth stood in a fighting stance, waiting for Yu Se to approach.
Yu Se: "Junior brother, as your senior sister, I have no choice but to teach you a lesson on behalf of our master." As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Se's entire body turned into a fireball.
Seeing this, the white-haired youth erected a light blue barrier: "Senior sister, don't force me." The fireball touched the light blue barrier, and the flames were reduced by 30%. Seeing that Yu Se had no intention of stopping, the white-haired youth formed a finger and released dozens of sword talismans. Yu Se turned to dodge, and just as she was about to retaliate, the white-haired youth's sword was already at her forehead.
White-haired boy: "Senior sister, don't stop me."
Yu Se: "I know I can't beat you, but I can't stand by and watch you make such a big mistake."
White-haired youth: "It seems I have no choice but to offend you."
Before Yu Se could react, the white-haired youth bent down and thrust his elbow forward, causing Yu Se to faint from the severe abdominal injury. The white-haired youth glanced at Yu Se, then turned and dragged the man's soul away.
The office phone rang loudly. Xiao Li picked it up, listened, nodded repeatedly, hung up, and rushed to the boss's office: "Boss, the owner of Zhang's Enterprise has inexplicably fainted. I heard it's very serious."
The boss was overjoyed: "Great! Great! That old bastard can finally stop going against me!"
Xiao Li: "Congratulations, boss! I heard that Boss Zhang became like this for no apparent reason."
The boss grinned and said, "Hmm! That's strange."

"Wenqing, get up!" Ya Xuan knocked hard on Wenqing's door. "Wenqing, what's wrong?" Ya Xuan asked anxiously, but there was no response from inside. Ya Xuan had no choice but to lie to Wenqing that his martial uncle was looking for him.
"Don't bother me!" Wenqing shouted, which startled Yaxuan. "Okay! I won't bother you. I'll stay outside. If you want to talk to me, come out." Yaxuan glanced at Wenqing's door and shook her head helplessly.
Wenqing looked at herself in the mirror. The white-haired boy smiled at her. Wenqing asked, "What are you laughing at?"
White-haired boy: "It seems you've almost forgotten me."
Wenqing: "Forgotten? No, I haven't forgotten you."
White-haired boy: "Do you feel guilty about everything you've done?"
Wenqing: "I had no choice. You know I was forced into this."
White-haired youth: "No one can coerce me, not even the Ghost General can threaten me."
Wenqing: "I am not afraid of the ghost general."
White-haired boy: "But he hurt you, didn't he?"
Wenqing: '..........'
White-haired boy: "You don't need me anymore."
Wenqing: "There is no question of need or not need between you and me, because you are me."
White-haired boy: "It used to be like this, you confidently controlled me, but now you want to seal me away."
Wenqing: "Seal? Why?"
White-haired boy: "Because you have fear, you have doubts about me, all of this will make you forget me, and even seal me deep in your heart."
Wenqing: "But I believe in you, and I don't intend to shut you up."
White-haired boy: "Yes, that day will come. You will no longer hear my voice, nor will you see my image, until you no longer feel me."
Wenqing: "Then what will I become?"
White-haired boy: "You will lose yourself and forget who I am, and forget who you are. Everyone around you will be able to change you and control you. All of this is because you no longer believe in my existence."
Wenqing: "You say you're not me, then who are you?"
The image of the white-haired boy began to blur again: "I am your heart, a heart that is unchanging."
Wenqing slowly lost sight of the white-haired boy, and what appeared in the mirror was a face filled with fear, and that face was Wenqing herself.

Reply [29]: In the afternoon, Wenqing came out of the room. Yaxuan saw that Wenqing looked dejected and came over to ask Wenqing what was wrong.
Wenqing: "I think I'm no longer myself."
Ya-xuan asked with a puzzled look, "Why would you say that?"
Wenqing: "Don't you think I'm not the same person I used to be?"
Ya-hsuan: "You've lost the confidence you used to have."
Wenqing: "I no longer know what self-confidence is."
Ya-hsuan: "I think you've been under too much pressure lately."
Wenqing: "Maybe so."
Ya-hsuan: "Your master's situation has upset you a lot, hasn't it?"
Wenqing did not answer. Yaxuan said, "I think people will change themselves more or less because of other people's affairs."
Wenqing: "Change yourself because of other people's affairs?"
Ya-hsuan: "Yeah, for example, the novels I wrote in the past would end up being overly melodramatic for commercial reasons. After writing that kind of stuff for a long time, I got tired of it myself."
Wenqing: "So you've changed your mind?"
Ya-hsuan: "Hmm! Because what you wrote is too strange, no one will read it. There are too many things in this world that should revolve around other people."
Wenqing: "Change yourself because of others." Wenqing kept repeating this to herself.
Ya-hsuan: "But after I met you, I also wanted to change myself, so I wanted to rewrite supernatural things, but I can't feel the world you know, so I haven't been able to write anything yet."
