Chapter 640: Chapter 345 Unexplainable Things_2

But Red Sleeve had begun to falter after feeling a painful itching sensation spreading across her right cheek, as if countless tiny insects were crawling over her skin. The itchy area was still expanding.

When she thought about the wording, ’most ugly,’ her arm started to tremble uncontrollably, and she even had an instinctual urge to pull back.

Meanwhile, Lin Xue rushed over, like a fish that had been stuck in a drought, now jumping into the sea. She hurled herself into the Energy Orb without the slightest hesitation.

Red Sleeve watched, somewhat shocked, at Lin Xue whose face was still streaked with tears, and remembered the words she had just spoken to her recently: If you can’t even understand this, then why are you trying to contend for the Grim Reaper’s inheritance?

Why? Why was she so decisive?

What was the most precious thing to her, after all?

The next moment, Red Sleeve started to retreat.

When Lin Xue charged into the Energy Orb, its impact pushed Red Sleeve backwards.

Red Sleeve lost her balance and started to fall backward. However, from the corner of her eye, she saw the corpse of the old woman who had been lying on the riverbed start to rise. The figure started to crumble into dust from her hair to her soles, disappearing bit by bit....

"What kind of joke is this? It’s really, really ridiculous ... " muttered Red Sleeve, bewildered. How could the body of a dead person be compared with the aspect a woman values the most - her appearance?

Inside the orb, Lin Xue turned around teary-eyed, and thought she saw her grandmother give her a final smile before disappearing.

With a blink, she was engulfed by the bursting energy of the orb and her consciousness sank into chaos...

When Lin Xue opened her eyes again, she found herself in a garden.

Looking around, she recognized the familiar landscape and the familiar plants.

This was her grandmother’s garden, the place where she and Lin Hai played when they were kids.

And at this moment, she was dressed as she was when she was eight years old, lying on someone’s lap as if she just woke up from a dream.

She turned her head. Indeed, her grandmother was sitting in the rocking chair next to the big tree, reading a book while waving her hand to drive off any approaching mosquitoes or bees.

"Grandma...." said Lin Xue in a childlike voice, looking at her grandmother rather dazedly, unable to distinguish between reality and the unreal.

"Little Snow, did you wake up?"

The old woman looked at her kindly. She reached out her hand to wipe the tears from Little Snow’s eyes. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes.... It was a really scary nightmare..."

Lin Xue let her small hand wipe at her teary eyes, looking truly terrified. "I dreamed that grandma had passed away... and then I lost grandma’s body..."

Looking a bit surprised after hearing her words, the old woman smiled, "That really is a nightmare... But, the fact that grandma will pass away is something you will have to face someday."

"How can that be?"

Lin Xue immediately retorted, "Grandma, you must live to be a hundred years old. You must live even longer than me!"

"To live a hundred years old, I’m afraid I can’t do that...." The old woman smiled, and although it looked painful, her gaze remained tender as she looked at her granddaughter. "I can count the remaining days of my life on my fingers."

Lin Xue looked at her, confused. "Can the lifespan of a person be set?"

"Not everyone’s, but mine can," said the old woman.

"I don’t get it."

Shaking her head in bewilderment, Lin Xue; looking somewhat worried, asked, "Grandma, is there some kind of disease you have caught? I will study medicine in the future. I’m very smart and I’m sure I will learn the best medical skills. No matter what kind of disease it is, I’ll cure you!"

The old woman chuckled and shook her head. "Little Snow, the disease grandma has can’t be cured by medical skills..."

"Why?" Little Xue became more anxious, tears started to accumulate in her eyes. "Then what can I do to help grandma?"

Wanting to tell the her the truth, the old woman shook her head, but seeing the small girl being on the verge of crying, she eventually relented.

"If one day, you encounter something that you just can’t explain no matter what you try, then maybe there is a way to cure Grandma’s disease..... "

"Something that I just can’t explain no matter what...", Little Snow mumbled to herself, and after a moment, she suddenly broke into a smile.

"Alright, I will go and find it!"

Laughing, the girl grabbed her grandma’s hand to shake on it. "I will keep searching until I find it. Let’s promise, you have to wait for me until that very day..."

Little Snow was waving her grandma’s hand vigorously.

Watching the young girl laugh with tears in her eyes, the old woman helplessly shook her head. "No need, Little Snow...."

"Huh?" Little Snow paused.

"You forgot, Little Snow? You have already found the thing that’s impossible to explain..."

The old woman’s words left Lin Xue stunned, and suddenly, she was flooded with a barrage of memories within her mind.

She finally remembered. It was from this day onward that she started searching. From going to school, to getting a job, to studying abroad, she and Little Sea had never forgotten this task amidst their busy lives.

Finding the unexplainable turned into an important thing in both their lives. After growing old, Lin Hai chose to become a live streamer, so he could explore strange occurrences all over the country in the most direct way.

However, Lin Xue chose a slightly different path. She discovered that all the so-called strange people and events were nothing but deception.

Hence, she decided to decode the secrets behind all the strange occurrences that were recorded. In this way, if one day she came across something truly inexplicable, she would have fulfilled her promise to her grandmother.
