Wang Li Lei took out the gem inside the box and opened it for Liu Yan Hui to take a good time observing the gem carefully. "This gem," He started, "does it have a power that could trigger other people's past memories?"

Instead of replying straight away, Liu Yan Hui pulled a smile to show the beauty mark above his lips. "You are not going to start by questioning who I am? Or perhaps what am I?" He directed the first question with his eyes on Wang Li Lei and the second one to the keen little lady who now lived her second life. "I'm sure you are curious."

He wasn't wrong, Xiao Yun thought but she didn't know whether she could ask him. She had a felling that something about the man made him look harmless than how he actually was. The smile he gave, she can't find any mistake and could only see his smile as gentle and friendly yet she can't be at ease in front of him.

"You don't have to if you do not want to answer Mr. Liu. Can you see whether this gem hold a power Li Lei mentioned?" She asked and saw how Liu Yan Hui staring at the gem for his eyes shadowed by a deep red color of blood.

Liu Yan Hui hummed and looked up to Xiao Yun, "First let me ask you questions. Li Lei Do you know this is her second life?"

Wang Li Lei drew his brows. He never doubted the words Xiao Yun gave that claimed Liu Yan Hui wasn't a normal human but hearing it again he knew his mentor was hiding something. "Yes." He replied briefly.

"Alright, I want to clarify this for you two. By second life I mean you turn back time whether knowingly or unknowingly but by seeing how confused you are, Ms. Yu I vouched you to be latter case."

"I turn back the time?" She had such a power? Xiao Yun was taken aback by his claims.

"You did with the price of your own life." Liu Yan Hui confirmed. "When a person die their soul would be taken away from the body. But there are rare cases when the souls held grudge against the person who killed them, leading to them becoming something similar to a vengeful ghosts which I like to call as ghouls. And in your case you didn't hold a grudge against the one who killed you but instead you yearned to go back to the past before your death. Am I wrong?"

"No, you are not." Xiao Yun replied and gulped. That was what she exactly thought before she died. She wished she could turn back the time to the first time when she met Wang Li Lei and now that she thought again, the day she turn back the time was the first day when she met Wang Li Lei and the day when she engaged with him.

"How it is connected?" It was Wang Li Lei who spoke now. "I'm sure the time wouldn't go back only because Xiao Yun wished before death was to turn back time." If it was then all the people who before death wished to turn back time would have succeed would be more than millions by now.

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about how a person could turn back time but in her case she gave her life in exchange to turn back time and," he trailed on his view when he looked at Xiao Yun, black smokes appeared behind her at first before taking a shape of a distorted image of humans' shadow having their eyes hollow and the lips twisting upward.

Even though he could see how Xiao Yun had a pure white and unblemished soul, there was something behind her and those were the proof of someone using a black magic and it was far special than the rest of the black magics because the one that followed her now was evidence of the taboos magic. "You are followed because of this Ms. Yu."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yun questioned.

"When someone make a wish by using their life it is called a taboo magic and now all ghouls can't help but waiting the day of your death to eat your soul. They are making a long line behind your back." He smiled.

Xiao Yun shivered from the sudden temperature drop she experienced and snapped her head behind her where Liu Yan Hui kept on staring at. But there was no use even if she turn her face now because she can't see anything unlike him.

"Other than to eat my soul, is it bad to have ghouls following me?" Liu Yan Hui hummed, Xiao Yun can't hear it now but he could hear the crying and crackling gave by the ghouls who were hugging her shoulder as tight as they could. Some pressed their face on her only until they suddenly felt repelled and flew back to the wall behind them to disappear into thin air.

"The ghouls behind you are screaming in hunger so the worse they would do is attract misfortune to you like an accident that could take your life. Like the wound you have on your leg now these ghouls must be the one who attracted the accident to happen. When you was pushed to the water, in truth the bridge wasn't supposed to break but because of these ghouls you fell down. It could be said that the one who is most responsible for the accident are them."

Wang Li Lei had a look where he want to rip apart the ghouls staying behind Xiao Yun now. Liu Yan Hui could had bet that if Wang Li Lei had the power to kill ghouls he would have done it by now.

"Is there no way for the ghouls to stop following her?" Asked Wang Li Lei with a grave tone. If the ghoul kept on following her more accident that could lead to her death would appear.

"You don't have to worry about the ghouls there's someone around me who kept on being followed by them so I know plenty of ways to keep them off. I can give you a protection enough to stay for about half a year." Liu Yan Hui said and Xiao Yun exhaled a breath. The idea of having unknown being following behind her made goosebumps go appear on her body.

"But why did the follow me? Is it because I unknowingly used a taboo magic?" Having ghouls following her because she wished too desperately before her death trigger something like a curse to her.
