Feng Mei Hiu gazed at his hands in confusion, the thin scarred hands looked familiar. He was dressed in a loose white shirt and trouser, a thick darkness surrounded him from all sides.
"Hello, is there anyone there?" His voice echoed around the eerie darkness.
A chill spread through his body, as he wrapped his arms around his thin figure.
He took an hesitant step, the ground felt strange as though he was stepping on something elastic, he suppressed a shudder, as he struggled not to look at what he was stepping on.
The farther he walked the more the darkness dispelled, he could make out the walls of what appeared to be a passageway, the white walls with glaring blood stains reminded him of the place he was held captive for years.
Feng Mei Hiu's fears were confirmed when he gazed at his reflection in a foggy mirror.
Lifeless eyes stared back at him, his face thin and his facial features swallow and sharp, his head was bald, scars painted his skin.
"How?" Feng Mei Hiu trembled in fear and confusion, how was he back in his old body? What was this place?
He was startled out of his trance by a loud growl, his head snapped up to meet the dull and lifeless eyes of a woman.
"Rong Mei?" Feng Mei Hiu gasped, despite the fact that her dark hair looked duller, her brown eyes looked lifeless, her figure swallowed by the large white gown which was drenched in blood, he could never forget her face.
"You killed me." Rong Mei pointed an accusatory finger at him.
"I am sorry." Feng Mei Hiu's voice was a shaky whisper.
"Sorry?" Rong Mei cackled. "I am dead and you're not, I will kill you today, come join me where you belong."
Rong Mei stood before him in a flash, her hands strangling his neck with a strength he couldn't fight. Feng Mei Hiu struggled in her grip, but she didn't move, her grip tightening on him as deranged smile painted her lips.
"Die. Die. Die. Die. Die." She repeated like a broken record.
Suddenly she was flung off him with a hard shove, her figure ramming into the wall with a painful thud.
Feng Mei Hiu rubbed his neck as he struggled to breathe, his eyes trained on the figure in front of him.
A beautiful woman with waist-length black hair and beautiful hazel eyes stood before him, she was dressed in a knee-length red gown and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions as she stared at him.
A loud growl and the sickening crunch of broken bones straightening brought their attention back to Rong Mei.
"You, get lost, he is my prey." She yelled at the woman.
"Go back Rong Mei, return to where you belong, you have no dealings with the living." The woman's voice was cold and oddly familiar.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Rong Mei snarled as she rushed at the woman, lifting a clawed hand.
The woman held her hand as Rong Mei started to fade away.
"You? what are you doing to me?" Her eyes widened in fear as her body continued to fade.
"Returning you back to your cycle." The woman's voice was steady.
"No. No. No. No." With an unwilling cry, Rong Mei faded away.
"Are you alright?" The woman turned to a shocked Feng Mei Hiu.
"Are you Xiao Li Ja Tong? Are you my system?" Feng Mei Hiu's eyes were trained on the woman.
She stared at him silently and sighed. "Yes I am your system, I didn't think you would recognize me." She admitted with a relaxed shrug.
"How? What the heck is going on?" Feng Mei Hiu's brain was fogged with confusion.
"You were hit by a car, as your soul hasn't assimilated into your new body properly, you ended up in the void, unfortunately before I could reach you, another soul with personal grudges found you first and dragged you here to kill you." Xiao Li Ja Tong explained.
"Rong Mei," Feng Mei Hiu began hesitantly, "what happened to her?"
"I wiped her memories and sent her into the cycle of reincarnation, hopefully her new life is better than her last." Xiao Li Ja Tong said.
"How did she turn into that thing?" Feng Mei Hiu asked.
"When some people die, they do not forget their memories and tend to remember how they died, they turn into a grudge, a dark soul that relives the memory of it's death everytime, they roams endlessly searching for who killed them so they can take revenge and finally be free." Xiao Li Ja Tong observed Feng Mei Hiu as she spoke.
"I killed her, I turned her into that thing." Feng Mei Hiu gasped.
"I believe it was a mistake..."
"It was not a mistake, I killed and I liked it, she kept screaming, kept begging, but I didn't listen, I am a monster."
"You're not a monster." Xiao Li Ja Tong said firmly as she held his wrist. "Let's leave here."
Feng Mei Hiu allowed Xiao Li Ja Tong to lead him out of the void, his thoughts stuck on old memories that replayed in his head.
*******
"Meng Tianyu."
An angry voice snapped him out of the fears that were drowning him.
"Richard." Meng Tianyu nearly broke into tears at the sight of his manager, as he jumped out of the uncomfortable waiting chairs.
"How is he? Is he dead?" Richard asked hastily.
"No, he's alright, but he's asleep." Meng Tianyu answered quickly. "The doctor said the wounds aren't critical, but I don't know why he isn't waking up." He added nervously.
"Where were you looking, couldn't you drive properly?" Richard scolded Meng Tianyu, but he felt more relaxed knowing his star hadn't killed anyone.
"It was dark and raining, I couldn't see properly and he was the one who ran in front of my car." Meng Tianyu defended.
A few passing nurses gave them strange looks probably wondering why someone was wearing a baseball cap and a mask in the middle of a hospital.
"I hope no one recognized you?" Richard asked.
"Nobody saw my face, I had my mask on the entire time." Meng Tianyu assured.
"Your reputation on the internet is bad enough as it is, there's no need to add reckless driving into the list." Richard squeezed the bridge of his nose.
"The things about me on the internet are false, I don't know who is attacking me?" Meng Tianyu pouted.
"I know they are fake, but people on the internet believe them anyway." Richard ran a hand through his brown locks. "You should go back to the hotel and take a bath, the opening ceremony is tonight and I can't have you looking as though a car ran you over." Richard snorted.
"What about the person I hit? I can't just leave him here alone." Meng Tianyu frowned.
"I will be here with him, you go back first with my car, Xiao Wu is waiting for you in the car." Richard urged him to leave.
"Alright, I will be back as soon as the opening ceremony is over." Meng Tianyu left
Staring at Meng Tianyu's fast disappearing figure, Richard sighed. What a mess.
