The novel “Devil” tells the story of the shou protagonist Chi You, who is killed due to someone’s scheming, and then cultivates for revenge with the help of the gong protagonist Feng Li. Jiang Luo wakes up and finds himself transmigrated into the cannon fodder who caused the death of the shou protagonist.
What’s even worse is that by the time he arrives, the original character has already killed Chi You.
At the funeral, Jiang Luo is shoved in front of the coffin.
The deceased Chi You looks peaceful, even with a faint smile on his lips. But Jiang Luo knows he has already turned into a vengeful ghost, eyeing him from nearby with deadly intent.
The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Jiang Luo becomes. When his survival instinct reaches its peak, he suddenly drops to his knees with a thud, eyes turning red from forced tears.
With heartfelt emotion, he says:
“Chi You, I love you so much, please don’t leave me…”
His lowered lashes conceal a faint smirk.
The cold air around him freezes for a moment. The unseen ghost watches Jiang Luo’s performance with great interest.
The gong protagonist Feng Li is the top Taoist master in the story. He helps Chi You cultivate into a human-ghost hybrid.
When Feng Li first meets Jiang Luo, this clan member tainted with ghostly aura has lifeless eyes and a pale face.
Feng Li says coolly, “There’s a ghost beside you that wants to kill you.”
But to his surprise, the man in front of him suddenly brightens up and anxiously shouts in all directions:
“Chi You, it’s you, isn’t it?”
Feng Li instinctively reaches out to catch Jiang Luo’s tears—but in the next moment, the tears turn into drops of crimson blood.
He looks up and meets the vengeful ghost’s cold gaze.
The ghost smiles and says, “Don’t touch him.”
