Night fell, a silent hush enveloping the land of Y like a pale blue curtain.

Unlike the pitch black night, Sy Hotel in country y was now brightly lit.

The banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel was exceptionally lively. The clinking of glasses could be heard from time to time, as guests toasted each other.

"Bang"

A barely audible gunshot was drowned out by the chatter of guests in the ballroom.

Guest Room

A woman dressed in black, her heart's clothing darker than those around her, her face pale and devoid of any emotion, lay with closed eyes in a man's arms.

The man wore a white suit, with drops of something splattered on the pure white fabric, starkly contrasting the pristine attire.

He was a man, but completely unaware. With a mask covering his face, he couldn't see the true nature of his fellow man. But those eyes that peeked out were now filled with fear, and the hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably.

"Z." A long time passed, and the man only then painfully called out the name of the person in his arms, but received no response at all.

……

In Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital, at the foot of a certain mountain

Hidden by trees, it wasn't very noticeable. In a pit, a child lay with their eyes closed.

After a long while, the child slowly opened his eyes. He was just about to get up when he realized that his whole body was in excruciating pain, his brow furrowed.

Mingming was shot only once, but how come his pain is so severe?

Not right! He was shot, right in the heart. Why is he still alive?

The child suddenly raised his head, only to find himself in a pit. His arms and the clothes on his body were also scratched.

This injury clearly looks like it was caused by falling into a pit, but... why would they be in a pit? Remember, we were supposed to be in the banquet hall! Thinking about this, the child stood up, only to discover that their right ankle was sprained.

A sudden sharp pain shot through his brain, and the child grabbed onto the nearby stone wall to prevent himself from falling again.

Once the pain subsided, the child discovered a memory in their mind that was completely foreign. This memory was so suffocating that it could be absolutely certain and unrelated to anything else.

But it also tells a fact, that is, the killer Wang Z from the past life was reborn as an 18-year-old student?

And the biggest reason he fell into the pit was largely due to his classmates' actions. Today was their class reunion, originally planned for a mountain climb, but the original organizer ended up being pushed into the pit by someone.

Thinking of this, z gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he climbed out of the pit. He picked up a branch at hand, leaning on it as he walked towards the memory's gathering point.

"Where is Qiao Xi? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"Yeah, I'm going back today. It's just a shame we all waited for so long. You didn't even answer the phone and you were dragging your feet."

At the foot of the mountain, a group of young people in new clothes huddled together, grumbling and complaining.

>"I hate people like this. They're weird and eccentric enough on a normal day, but they also waste everyone's time."

"Maybe something came up, let's just wait a little longer."

Just when everyone was getting impatient, someone shouted, "Qiao Xi is here."

Qiao Xi walked out from the darkness, leaning on a stick in her hand. Her white t-shirt was stained dirty all over, with faint traces of mud marks visible. Her black pants were also covered in dirt, with several scratches.

The braided ponytail was even worse, but the thick bangs across her forehead were still stubbornly fixed in place. Her eyes were obscured by the heavy fringe, making it hard to see her expression clearly.

Joe Xi's embarrassing entrance shocked these students.

A few of them, when they saw Qiao Xi appear, their eyes flashed with a guilty look.
