Debt of Cause and Effect

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhen closed his eyes for a moment in the duty room. When he opened them again, a strange old scar appeared on his palm. The black silk thread is entangled, telling the mystery. The young man opposite would not survive the frost. On his chest was a blood oath from a hundred years ago: The great ancestor of the Bai family exchanged the life of his eldest son for the lives of the entire family. Someone answered at the mouth of the well. From then on, the eldest son of each generation died suddenly, and his body had three strange scars. Chen Zhen looked through the autopsy records of the third generation and found that the wound was torn from the inside out - not a traumatic injury, but a physical manifestation of causal debt. He touched the thread. The rainy night, the dagger, and the oath to cut my palm poured into my body. The previous sponsor - who died in his emergency room - grabbed his wrist before dying. There were still six days until frost, and blood began to ooze from the palms of my hands. Chen Zhen has seen death hundreds of times, but this is the first time that the sign of death has appeared on him.
