Chapter 2 - Tokens

The jade pendant was originally on the bed. My mother accidentally dropped the jade pendant on the ground while taking me away. I heard the sound of the jade pendant as it hit the ground. My mom looked back then, she probably knew what it was, but she ignored it and led me away. This incident is not only a nightmare for me, but maybe also a nightmare that has haunted my mother all these years. He has not allowed my father to contact my family for the past four years. He was very familiar with the Fan family, and there were many fights with my father. Because I was annoyed that my father had tricked him with the seniors of the Fan family.

How could something that should have existed in the village appear here? Even though my mom meant to cheer up and say that she brought him here, I still couldn't believe it. He didn't take the jade pendant at that time. He took me out of the village immediately, how could he take that jade pendant?

Mother took the jade pendant and carried it away: "You have a good rest, and call Mother if there is anything you need."

After mom left, I couldn't sleep anymore, I didn't dare turn off the lights or close my eyes. Finally, until dawn, I dragged my heavy steps to school. It was going to take the college entrance exam, I couldn't be bothered by this incident. Whether I can enter a good university or not shows my future path.

Although it was still early, the sun had begun to heat up, and the whole city seemed to have just been put on a steamer, and the temperature was gradually rising. I don't know why, I suddenly felt that I was looking at me, and I felt uncomfortable being looked at. I looked around and found no strangers. At this time, most of the office workers and student parties were active.

As I was walking towards the school gate, suddenly a black cat came down from a tree, it meowed and looked at me from a short distance. Her green eyes seem to see through everything, I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that the look in these eyes is very strange...

I walked past him trembling, it turned out that he was looking at me silently, without avoiding him, his eyes never left mine!

I once heard my grandmother say that cats can see ghosts, and black cats are the greatest. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get goosebumps. What happened last night made me very sensitive.

Speeding up and walking to school, the old security guard at the gate suddenly greeted me: "Alice... you've come..." His voice was hoarse and awkward, and his tone was slow, as if something was stuck in his throat and squeezed out Desperate, I'm a little confused. I've been studying here for nearly three years, and I haven't said a word to him. Why is he greeting me? And call me Alice kindly?

I don't know what the old security guard's name is. I only know that he is over sixty years old, his figure is thin, and his skin is slightly wrinkled. I used to see him in good spirits but today his face was definitely different and he was eerily white.

Since it wasn't good to ignore him, I just replied lightly and continued walking, and suddenly heard another meow. I looked back. The old security guard was holding the black cat that had appeared from the tree earlier. He and the cat looked at me, a strange expression in his eyes.

My heart was racing, and I patted my face to remind myself not to be so sensitive. The black cat was supposed to be raised by an old security guard, that's all, though I didn't know he had a cat...

When arriving at class, think many people are reading books and taking exams. Everyone worked hard, but today was really weird. The dozen or so people who came all sat blankly in their chairs, with books on the table, I didn't see her at all, the expressions on each of their faces were slightly different.

I sat suspiciously in my chair. Gery He, the man in the front row, suddenly turned his head and said to me, "I'm going to die soon..."

I frowned, and I felt a sense of disgust in my heart, usually uneducated, and a bit bad. He always bothered me to tell some unsavory jokes, and told some unfunny jokes, I don't know what kind of joke he was making.

I was too lazy to put up with it, unzipped my school bag, and barely took out the book inside, I was stunned. At the bottom of the bag, there was a white jade pendant with a dragon carving on it. My breathing quickened, and my whole body trembled.

Gery He suddenly laughed: "Hehehehe..."

I asked him angrily: "What are you laughing at ?!"

He suddenly gave a very strange smile, and leaned in closer and whispered: " Yama is married ... The living are forbidden to see, hundreds of ghosts..." Before he could finish his words, I directly hit him with my bag and shouted: "Go away!"

Seeing the metallic material on the ornaments of her school bag scratching the few centimeters of blood on her face, I feel a little guilty. Just as he was about to apologize, he turned his head and sang the words just now in a strange tone, which reminded me of a night four years ago, a tone like an opera...

I admit that although my mother has told me many times that there are no ghosts in this world, I don't doubt them. My mom probably can't explain how I lost my virginity that night. He suspected that someone had done it and not a "supernatural being", but I knew very well, it wasn't a person, because no one had such a cold breath.

I reached into my school bag and ran out of the classroom holding the jade pendant. There is a small river outside the high wall of the school. I walked to the wall and threw away the jade pendant. After doing all this, I went to class, hoping that this would all be over soon, it should have ended four years ago...

Suddenly, I felt something fall on top of my head. When I looked up, Gerry He fell to the ground facing me with his blood splashing all over me and dyeing my white casual shoes red. All of this happened so suddenly, I stared at him blankly, he was still twitching under my feet, and his legs couldn't move.

There was blood in his eyes, nose and mouth. He looked at me desperately, with a faint voice in his throat: "Help...help me..."
