The Chapter 23 Rev

"Hello Miss, I'm Shangguan Luan. I'll accompany you while in this office."

Hu Lei nodded, he walked towards his room. His father saw Hu Lei's reaction which looked mediocre, he was a little confused and asked Shangguan Luan to leave.

"What's up, son? Does the job feel boring?"

"No, I just feel awkward about just meeting."

"Oh, thank goodness then."

"Yes, I can retire in peace." Hu Lei.

After Father Zhang left, Hu Lei brought Huang Yi Zhen into his lap. Huang Yi Zhen who was in the form of a cat was rubbed to calm his unease. He always felt that this small world was something unexpected.

.....

"You know... I always felt that we had met before..." Huang Yi Zhen muttered as he relaxed on the sofa in human form.

'Don't say anything, or the setting of the world will figure out how to get rid of you. Act accordingly.' Mao Yun Zhi reminded in Hu Lei's mind.

"It might just be your feeling." Hu Lei looked at his watch. When lunch time arrived, he asked Huang Yi Zhen to turn into a cat.

But as he stepped to leave, Hu Lei felt a pain right at the core of his spirit. And it affects his body with a heart that feels hot. Huang Yi Zhen noticed Hu Lei's change in expression. He jumped and changed shape to human form.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Hu Lei not saying anything, Huang Yi Zhen was extremely worried. But he doesn't know what to do. The next second Hu Lei's spirit was forcibly thrown out of the small world.

Mao Yun Zhi who was monitoring everything, was confused and did not understand what the world's arrangements wanted to do. Mao Yun Zhi kept trying to contact Hu Lei. But it was always difficult as if there was a great energy blocking it.

In the darkness a voice echoed his opinion. "I must punish someone who infiltrated my world."

Hu Lei survived in the dark room. It was surrounded by dark black smoke. This feeling felt a little familiar yet gripping. Hu Lei tried his best to maintain that the black smoke did not touch him.

Mao Yun Zhi out there also saw a change in Huang Yi Zhen sleeping on the flowers. Hu Lei's body was also not in good condition. Huang Yi Zhen had some kind of warm energy surrounding him. Instead Hu Lei had a cold black energy surrounding his body.

These two different energies reminded Mao Yun Zhi of Huang Yi Zhen's pure Yang energy and Hu Lei's curse. Mao Yun Zhi could not think clearly. If that was the case, then he could only rely on Huang Yi Zhen's luck.

On the Other Side, Huang Yi Zhen who was sitting in a spring garden, felt he had something big to do. As he tried to recall it, there was nothing but a cold feeling surrounding the nape of his neck.

Curiosity tickled the big cat's heart. Huang Yi Zhen followed the red thread behind the hill. But he was surprised by the dark and gloomy scenery among the beautiful hills. Huang Yi Zhen was hesitant. But when he saw the tip of the red thread hidden deep inside, Huang Yi Zhen could not help his curiosity and began to enter the dark forest.

Someone held his arm. Huang Yi Zhen turned around and saw an old woman smiling at him. "Are you sure you want to leave all this beauty and comfort behind? Just to find out the end of that thread?"

Although the old woman looked very kind, Huang Yi Zhen felt that all of his warm smiles were harboring another greater secret. Huang Yi Zhen did not think twice before nodding around like a chicken pecking at rice.

The old woman smiled. "Alright then, it turns out that I can't keep you here. Go and meet him, you just need to see him. But I'm not so sure what's going to happen. She came to pick you up, but her curse made her forget everything other than your name and her obsession to hold you. Are you sure you still want to go? After all 'he' isn't as good as you."

Huang Yi Zhen did not understand what the old woman was saying. Huang Yi Zhen glanced at the end of the red thread, once again there was a feeling that convinced him to go into the dark forest.

Huang Yi Zhen steeled his resolve and ran in the form of a black cat towards the dark forest. The old woman seemed to sigh in resignation. "Well, they're indeed the perfect couple set in the sky. Even if I were to manipulate the cat's memory and nature, he would subconsciously approach the cursed fox. Truly the God of luck and the Goddess of misfortune."

The old woman waved her hand and a reddish glass ball appeared in her hand. "Let's see if it's cat luck or the fox curse that saved their love story."

Huang Yi Zhen managed to enter the Dark Forest, yet he still had to go deeper to find out what was waiting for him. A sticky and disgusting black portal appeared in front of him. Huang Yi Zhen was reluctant to enter that disgusting portal. But when he saw the tip of the red thread penetrate into the portal, he strengthened his heart and jumped in without opening his eyes.

As soon as Huang Yi Zhen opened his eyes, he was in a quiet minimalist house. "Aren't I in the dark forest?"

"I'm interested in your relationship. Tell you what, if you manage to pass through my Seven worlds by hand in hand, I will set you free."

The old woman reappeared and she surprised Huang Yi Zhen who was a timid cat. "I still don't understand..."

"That's natural, I'm not returning your memories. Now listen to me, you only need to pass through my Seven Worlds if you want to remember everything. And remember, you have to join hands, which means you have to stay with her together."

Huang Yi Zhen's heart was itchy with the word 'She'. Finally he called for his complaint. " But 'he' who?"

"I only gave you one clue. It was the owner of the other end of the red thread, Hu Lei."

Then the old woman disappeared without leaving a trace. However Huang Yi Zhen recalled clearly the name 'Hu Lei' He felt the name was very familiar.

Before he could recall it, his little room light flickered for a moment and broke. Huang Yi Zhen felt a familiar chill. Huang Yi Zhen felt like he had experienced this kind of terror somewhere.

The window of his room opened with a loud voice to the surprise of Huang Yi Zhen. Huang Yi Zhen felt that the dark night outside the window had eyes that kept staring at him. Huang Yi Zhen felt a cold hand hugging his waist, yet he did not dare to turn his head.

He could not even move much less breathe smoothly. Huang Yi Zhen tried his best not to be afraid. With great difficulty he was finally able to move his body. Huang Yi Zhen approached the window and closed it slowly. Despite that, the feeling of being hugged by a cold hand never left him.

Slowly a great sense of paranoia covered his heart. He still did not dare to look back. He remembered that the body he was in right now had a family, so he wanted to meet a living person. At least it was better than being in this gripping silent place, even if it was his room.
