Reincarnation 1984 Fiction
Reincarnation 1984

Standing by the reincarnation pool, the Horse-faced Ghost asked, "Brother Ox Head, did that girl Keluo Belos give this guy a drink of the Forgetfulness Soup?" "He probably did," Ox Head scratched the sparsely grown hair on his head, not too sure, "Forget it, it's none of our business. Let's send this guy off to be reincarnated." With that, he took out a delicate handheld computer, ready to input data and set the coordinates of time and space. Horse-faced Ghost gave a strong kick to Zhang Lan's backside and said, "Kid, get down." Zhang Lan fell involuntarily, saying, "Guys, I haven't drunk the Forgetfulness Soup yet." "Huh?" Both of them were stunned. Ox Head's hand trembled, and the handheld computer emitted a piercing scream. "What's happening?" the Horse-faced Ghost asked nervously. "The time coordinates are incorrect. This guy has reincarnated with his memories intact," Ox Head said with a pained expression. "How could this happen?" "Damn Windows vulnerability!" Ox Head pulled at his hair, which was gradually becoming scarce. "Forget it, no ghosts witnessed it this time, so let's not report to Lord Yan. We don't want to get scolded." "Good, that's what we'll do," Horse-faced Ghost nodded. "Reincarnation" Fan Club, Group ID:
