1 Prologue

'Qing Yu..... Save me..... Qing Yu....."

a swath of fiery light shot up into the sky.

An exquisite and beautiful little boy was seated on a weelchair, looking in despair and helplessness at the similarly exquisite looking little girl not far away from him. What was different was the that little girl had an exceptionally timid and frightened expression as she looked at the boy trapped in the fire, even seemingly looking like she was thinking of running away.

The boy's body was being roasted seared by the increasing heat from the blazingly hot flames. He gritted his teeth tightly together, looking at the girl one final time before closing his eyes. "Qing Yu... leave....."

Seemingly awashed with relief, the girl immediately turned herself around and went running away without even looking back once.

Till she disappeared from the boy's sight.

The little boy lowered his eyes ang laughed mockingly, a crystal clear teardrop slid down from the corner of his eye, like he had just given up on his final grasp upon any delusions.

He will die right? He should have died long ago.

Not only was he going die under the hands of those people who wanted him dead, he was also going to die at the hands of his weak and useless sister who only how to hide in a turtle shell.

He hated that, but he was powerless.

An eight year old child, dragging a broken body around. What could he do?

The little girl's face was filled with panic, her legs under her not stopping as she ran, seemingly seeking to leave this dengerous place far behind her, not caring in the least about the little boy's safety or wellbeing.

"Dumb dumb! how can you run away! Go back there and save him!" A highly translucent and illusory shadow stood beside her, wanting to pull her back, but the girl went right through the body.

The shadow was stunned for a moment.

Oh, she was already dead, and is now a spirit body. She had completely forgotten about it.

It could be because she had been dead for too long and did not need to eat nor did she need to sleep, hence she had thought that she was still alive, living in this world in another form.

She watched the little girl run stumbling away in the distance, but saw that her body had begun to increasingly turn translucent, looking like spirit was about to depart from the shell.

That was..... a sign that a person was about to die.

As predicted, in her panic, the girl actually tripped over a protruding pebble and fell heavily to the ground, her forehead landing right upon the broken gravel, the blood flowing out inceasingly. The spirit that had half departed from her body then slipped right out completely, and then disappeared into the wind, where it was not known where if scattered to.
