The Exorcist

A week went by without incident.

Ruan Zhan thought that maybe the evil ghost had absorbed Kenji Okamura's spiritual power and needed to slowly melt it into his own, so he hid aside and practiced.

But City A is so big, it could be hiding in any corner. As long as it doesn't come out, finding it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Ruan Zhan believes that it will not hide for the rest of its life. Its resentment is too deep and it will definitely come out to cause trouble until its wish is fulfilled!

If it existed, why didn't it come out before? If it was suddenly released, this could be explained, and one could imagine who did it. But the most important thing is its origin, the reason for its murderous death, and its purpose of bringing disaster, so that it can be completely eliminated.

Judging from what it has done in the past, it cannot be transformed. The only way is to destroy it!

He felt that all this must be related to that house, otherwise the evil spirit would not have appeared there for the first time, so he had been investigating the matter of that house, looking through old tabloid news and legendary stories, but in the past week Still no progress.

The history of the house is quite clean. It was built during the Republic of China when Ronghua Road in City A was first built. At that time, it was a gathering place for foreigners and wealthy Chinese people. Even when the old China was in war and was being bullied, it was not affected. It can be said that on the surface, not a single person, including *, was killed.

It is said that when these houses were built, in order to make them stronger, even the cement was mixed with juice made from glutinous rice, so the houses here are quite good today. In addition, there are people living there all the time, so it is impossible to invite evil spirits to settle here. Therefore, the evil spirit must come from here!

Just, who is it?

Because the love hotel was sealed by the police, Ruan Zhan took the risk of being invisible in broad daylight and came here to check. However, in this beautiful Spanish-style building, except that it looked gloomy because five people had been killed, he found nothing. Even when he sneaked into the police station and checked the relevant information, he found nothing valuable.

spiritualism? He had thought about it too. But as he wandered through the basement and attic, he dismissed the idea. Because these five people all died violently, it stands to reason that there should be a strong sense of grievance, but he did not find any of these things. It is estimated that Okamura Kenji did not know what kind of magic method he used when he recovered the shikigami. Where have those innocent souls been suppressed and forced to go?

Even if he could find it with some effort, he couldn't do it. It's a good thing that he didn't stop thinking, otherwise the mastermind behind the scenes would definitely use vicious methods to kill those five innocent people.

It's better not to try that labor-saving method and let the unjust dead have the chance to retain their souls! If he doesn't move the minds of these five people, I believe that person will not move either, because with that person's current skills, it will take a lot of effort to end his life. In this case, these five dead people can at least have a chance to start over.

The clues had been cut off at the house, and he was a little helpless, but he forced himself to think of another way to minimize casualties. And he can't be passively beaten, he also has to find opportunities to fight back.

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?" Xiaoxia called Jizhan from behind.

Since Kenji Okamura's death, they had only received relevant inquiries and nothing had happened. Anyway, the final autopsy result was sudden cardiac death of unknown cause. As for why he ran to the abandoned construction site in the middle of the night and fell all over his body with injuries, I don’t know. Maybe he is a pervert and likes to jump around in the rubble late at night!

The next day, the company arranged a new residence for her, which was a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. Ruan Zhan never mentioned leaving, so naturally, they started living together again.

Different from their previous 'cohabitation', this time it was not because she was afraid of ghosts that she refused to leave. Instead, the man she coveted followed her without saying a word. She knew that he was worried about her safety, because after all, the matter was not over yet, but she had been hypnotizing herself, ignoring normal reasons, and happily taking advantage of every day she spent with Ruan Zhan.

"You don't have to pick me up every day." Xiao Xia took Ruan Zhan's arm very naturally, politely, but in her heart she still hoped that he would continue to take her to and from get off work.

He is so handsome, and behaves so tenderly and considerately. Every day, he walks around in the eyes of female employees in the company who are so jealous that they can kill people. It is really a sense of accomplishment, that kind of extreme expansion and satisfaction in vanity, but it is not Covered!

"Are you unhappy?" Seeing that there was no smile on his face, Xiaoxia asked. In fact, she knew what he was worried about, and she was also worried, but she knew that there was no clue at the moment, and there was no point in being anxious!

"No." Ruan Zhan smiled.

"You look so pretty when you smile, why don't you cause people to commit crimes?" Xiao Xia muttered.

"What did you say?" Ruan Zhan didn't seem to hear.

"Nothing, just Wanli called and said he would come to see us this weekend."

"He's here to see you. This guy has never been so nice to me!"

"Maybe he brings some news. At least, he may have some good suggestions. You know this is his biggest specialty. You can judge calmly that he is no worse than you, not to mention that he is a bystander in this matter."

"Yes, he may look at the problem from another angle." Ruan Zhan nodded. He has been checking that house, but there are no results at all. People are like this sometimes. When they get stuck in the center of a problem, they cannot see other possibilities. This may be a blinder.

"In that case, just be happy. How about we have hot pot tonight? There seems to be one at home. I saw it when I was looking through the kitchen yesterday." That's the good thing about this apartment. It not only has furniture but also kitchenware.

Home?

Ruan Zhan traced this word in his heart carefully, and a strange emotion surged in his heart, which made him want to live like this, calm, warm, with someone to wait for and being waited for. He had never lived this kind of life, he was just abandoned and rejected. Except for Wan Li, no one had ever been close to him throughout his childhood and youth.

Although his father raised him, he did not pamper him. He always trained him to be independent and told him that he was different from ordinary people. God must have had his intention when he was born.

But he doesn't want to be different, he just wants to be ordinary. Therefore, he was very repelled by these things. Although he studied carefully what his father taught him and did not want to live up to his upbringing, he hated his own abilities so much that he secretly sealed himself as soon as he learned the sealing technique, resisting all this from the bottom of his heart.

Does father know this? He wasn't sure. He only knows that his father taught him everything he learned in his life, and then died mysteriously, which he still can't let go of.

If it weren't for this scheming but shrewd woman beside him, maybe he would still be living in a cold and closed world, peaceful but also dead. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, she forced him to come out. Now that he has begun to face his abilities, he must slowly release his energy to protect her and prevent the evil ghost from harming the world.

Only today did he understand that what God has given you, what's the use of hiding from it?

Xiaoxia didn't know what Ruan Zhan was thinking, she just walked happily with Ruan Zhan. They walked all the way back to the apartment not far from the company every day, and then prepared dinner together. After dinner, they washed the dishes and watched TV together, just like a young couple. Although it only lasted a week, it was enough to make Xiaoxia's heart sweet, especially when she thought of him sleeping on the sofa in the small living room every night, she always felt very safe and content.

She always leaves the door of the room open so that she can see Ruan Zhan's figure while lying on the bed. Anyway, it is winter now, so both of them are covered with thick quilts when they sleep, so they don't have to worry about being exposed.

In fact, her lustful heart a little bit hopes that Ruan Zhan will show off, at least let her see if his figure is promising!

"That-" She couldn't sleep, and she knew that Ruan Zhan was not asleep, although he was lying on the sofa without moving. He sleeps so quietly, so quietly that it makes people feel distressed. It always feels like he is disappearing into the darkness.

"Can you tell me - how you were adopted by your father?" She wanted to know more about him and asked bravely. She dared to ask because they couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the dark.

Ruan Zhan moved but said nothing.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I just want to-" She didn't go on, thinking that Wan Li was indeed right. Women are like this. When they are interested in someone, they want to dig out the eighteenth generation of their ancestors. . In fact, she had only vaguely heard Wan Li talk about Ruan Zhan's life experience, and she wanted to know more about it and warm him up. But if he doesn't want to say it, it doesn't matter to her. Anyway, she thinks Ruan Zhan is a good man and a man who makes her feel safe, so she doesn't need to know his past.

The two were silent.

Just when Xiaoxia thought Ruan Zhan wouldn't say anything more, Ruan Zhan suddenly sat up.

"When I was five years old -" he hesitated, "I was abandoned by my family." He said simply.

Xiaoxia's heart clenched tightly and she didn't know what to say. He said it so simply, as if he were an insignificant piece of cargo. This made her feel distressed, because his calm and indifferent tone seemed to see her the same way.

"Then I was sent all the way to my father by a passing ghost." Ruan Zhan continued, "I don't know how he knew about my father and why he gave me to his old man."

"Is it hard on the road?" Xiaoxia asked worriedly.

"Fortunately, I was still young at the time, so that's all." Ruan Zhan actually chuckled, "If it is used to deceive girls, it seems to be a bit of capital. After all, it can be said that he has endured hardships!"

Having nothing to eat, traveling at night, and sleeping in cold places in the wilderness during the day, you have to be wary not only of people, but also of ghosts, being bullied by both yin and yang, and traveling long distances. What else is not bitter?

"So you have a good impression of ghosts and don't want to deal with them easily?" Xiao Xia didn't feel scared, she just remembered Ruan Zhan's usual attitude.

"Maybe." He had never thought about this. When Xiaoxia said it today, he also realized that his self-seal might also have this reason.

"So where did the ghost go after your father adopted you?"

"I don't know, he disappeared and I never found him again." Ruan Zhan felt a little melancholy, feeling that he suddenly talked a lot tonight.

"He's a good ghost. It's a pity that I haven't seen him. Otherwise, I would have to thank him. Without him, you wouldn't be where you are today, and I would have died many times."

"You are not afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid? He saved you, and indirectly saved me, didn't he?" Xiaoxia said, "I just regret that I didn't know you at that time, so you wouldn't be just Wanli's friend."

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, but he wanted to jump out of bed and hug her.
