The Exorcist

Chapter 12: Buying time

Ruan Zhan's words made Xiaoxia suddenly think of a joke. Although it was a bit inappropriate at this time, she recalled this little story Wan Li told her in her mind -

A luxury ferry sank, drowning all the people on board. One of the ghosts met God. He felt that he was very unlucky. God told him that there was a big evil person on the ship and he should die violently. The man blamed God and said that you cannot let everyone on the ship lose their lives just to punish a few people. God said with a grimace: All the people here have sins worthy of death. I did it after many years of hard work. Do you think it is easy for me to put these bad people on one boat?

It turns out that everyone is guilty, or involved in this sin!

It was Sima Nan who brought these people together. I don't know what method he used, whether it was to influence people's thoughts, or other sorcery. In short, he put these guilty people on a boat.

Maybe this is why these resentful spirits are willing to be used by him! He helped them get enemies, and they helped him set up this trap to tease Ruan Zhan and then kill him!

"What should we do now?"

"They want to hide and seek, so we will accompany them."

"But if we return to the square, people will die again, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, such a cruel way of death -" Xiaoxia was extremely worried, "and they will eventually deal with you. This is not okay, I won't let them hurt you!"

The protective tone in Xiao Xia's tone made Ruan Zhan smile, "When I said I would play with them, I didn't mean to let them do whatever they wanted. We have to buy time. Firstly, we wait for Wanli to find out the cause of this incident. Secondly, I will try The most important thing is to see if we can lift Sima Nan’s spell that sealed my spiritual power. So what we have to do is to delay the time while saving the lives of the remaining people. Now let’s just walk around, you’re not Are they going to let people return to that square unknowingly? Then let's go and see. But don't worry, although I have been blocked for most of my psychic powers, I still have the problem of causing some damage to their 'drama'. Not big!”

Xiaoxia nodded, her heart completely relieved. As long as he is around, she feels warm and safe, and she is not afraid even if he is about to die!

Ruan Zhan removed the small barrier and suppressed his gradually unstable aura due to excessive use of the remaining spiritual energy. He pretended to talk casually to ease Xiaoxia's heart, but in fact their situation was still very critical. It was not fun to hide and seek with these resentful spirits, but he had to return to the square, because this was the only way to save his life. The six surviving people found a way!

"Just follow me." Xiao Xia took Ruan Zhan's hand, feeling sorry for such a proud person like him, but he had to rely on himself because he couldn't see. She was not worried that he would not be able to recover. Anyway, no matter what he became, she would always be with him.

Ruan Zhan came and everything was different. It turned out that she was hiding in fear in the city, and her heart was full of despair, but now that he is by her side, it doesn't matter even if she is in hell.

The two of them walked hand in hand slowly in the mist. It looked more like a couple taking a walk than fighting against evil spirits. Xiao Xia walked a few steps and would look at Ruan Zhan's lonely profile. She couldn't help but miss the sudden passionate kiss and the tender love interrupted by the female ghost. For a moment, she even wished that this road would be endless. I just keep going like that.

However, no matter how long the journey is, it will come to an end. When Xiaoxia was so drunk that she almost forgot that this was a murderous city, her eyes lit up and she returned to the square without warning.

The rest of the people were already staying in the square without exception. Everyone was numb from the torture. Even Liu Hong just stood behind Zuo De in fear and did not cry or scream again. Despair made them feel like they were waiting. The lambs were as weak as the slaughtered lambs. No one even noticed that Xiaoxia had brought back a man. There were no longer six people here, but seven!

"How many water columns are there?" Ruan Zhan asked in a low voice.

"Three." Xiaoxia glanced at the lake.

Does this mean three people are going to die? Who is the last survivor?

"Don't be afraid, we will let it get used to the strange things, and the strange things will be defeated!"

"good."

The two of them spoke not loudly, but Zuo De, who had always been relatively sober, finally noticed. He was a little surprised and a little surprised, and then a little hope arose in his heart, because there was actually fresh air entering in this dead situation, and because Ruan Zhan's calmness and slightly arrogant attitude gave him a vague sense of a chance of survival.

He dragged Liu Hong slowly toward Xiaoxia, but when he was halfway there, he was suddenly pushed to the center of the square by a strong force. At the same time, Liu Hong and Reporter Ma who were with him were also pushed. and Zhao Jiayuan, among the remaining six people, only Xiaoxia and the crazy Mao Fu were not attacked.

A new episode of 'drama' is about to begin again!

Xiaoxia looked up at Ruan Zhan anxiously, only to see Ruan Zhan standing motionless, facing the direction of the center of the square. Obviously he could judge the current situation from the screams of the four people, but he Not ready to take action yet.

His calmness gave Xiaoxia confidence, so although her heart was numb, she no longer panicked.

After the four people were pushed to the center of the square, they were divided into two groups, two in pairs, standing face to face, with a square marble floor, like four chess pieces. They could not move at all and could only let them move. At the mercy of external forces.

"Fight, fight quickly! Kill your opponent, and the remaining people can live to the end! Kill! Kill!" After a moment of silence, Mao Fu suddenly shouted, with an excited look on his face, like a monkey Jumping around, repeating the last two words.

It turns out that this is why four people were attacked when three new fountains appeared. The other party wanted the four of them to fight each other, and those who survived would have a chance to live a little longer!

Xiaoxia looked at Mao Fu with disgust, and saw that although his eyes no longer glowed green, his behavior was no longer half human, and he was completely crazy. Under his shouts, the people in the scene seemed to be bewitched, really The fight started!

Zuo De was okay, he seemed to still have some clear consciousness in his mind, and he was trying his best to control his hands and feet, so his movements were a bit stiff, and most of them were defensive. The other three were attacking each other like crazy, completely desperate. rack style.

"Hey, wake up, stop! Stop!" Seeing the four people beating each other until their faces were bloody in the blink of an eye, Zuo De couldn't control himself. Liu Hong bit Zuo De's arm as if he wanted to eat someone, and Ma The reporter was about to be strangled to death by Zhao Jiayuan, and Xiaoxia couldn't help but scream!

Turning around to look at Ruan Zhan, he saw that he was still not moving. She knew that he must have his own plans, so she didn't rush him, but the situation at the scene made it difficult for her to just sit back and watch. She looked around anxiously, and when she saw the flower bed, her heart moved. She quickly ran over, dug out a few decorative stones sprinkled on the soil, waved and threw them to a few people in the center of the field, "Leverage Taishan, General Shi." ,beat!"

This is a little spell Ruan Zhan taught her during the Japanese ghost incident. She had never thought that as soon as Ruan Zhan arrived, her mind became more flexible, and then she remembered that besides the life-saving amulet, she still had such a small amount of power. Originally, the spell required her to turn her back to the ghost and Ruan Zhan to draw a talisman in her hand, but she couldn't care less in her hurry.

The stone was not big enough and her arm strength was limited. It only made a soft sound when it hit the four people and fell to the ground. Only then did Xiao Xia realize that there was a barrier outside the four of them, so he couldn't hit them at all, and it didn't have much effect. However, it made them stop for a moment and look blankly in Xiao Xia's direction. Dull and unfamiliar, as if possessed by something.

"They are not them!" she shouted incoherently.

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Zhan suddenly took action, throwing thunder out of the two palms of his left hand, and pulled Xiaoxia back with his right back!

There was a loud 'pop' sound, which suppressed the two explosions of thunder in the palm. I saw a tall street lamp on the edge of the square with an unusual wind sound, as if someone pushed it down, directly hitting Xiaoxia and Ruan Zhan. position, smashing a huge crack in the marble floor!

Xiaoxia was stunned by the shock, and it took her a few seconds to understand what happened. At the same time, the invisible barrier in the center of the square was shattered by Ruan Zhan, and four extremely weak black smoke shot out from the heads of the four people, and then they collapsed on the ground!

"What will you do if your play doesn't work?" Ruan Zhan asked jokingly.

The reason why he hadn't moved was because he felt that something was watching, but he couldn't find the specific location because his spiritual power was blocked. He understood that the four people were possessed by resentful spirits, and he also understood that there must be a barrier where they attacked each other. Even if he wanted to break the magic there, he also had to pay attention to the things that secretly intended to harm himself and Xiaoxia.

It is impossible for the other party not to know about his arrival, but they were suppressed by his momentum and did not dare to act rashly for a while, so he had to succeed in one fell swoop because he had to buy time and not let the other party see his weakness too early, otherwise they would If they attack in groups, these people will be killed immediately!

He just needs a little time, just a little bit. Even if the resentful spirit slowly discovers that he is currently strong and weak, as long as he takes a breath, he can come up with new ways!

Fortunately, Xiaoxia went to use that little spell to attack the barrier, which made the resentful spirits secretly waiting to attack them lose their composure and exposed their position. He was able to attack twice and solve the problem at once!

"Get over there quickly!" Zuo De shouted and grabbed the wounds of the other three people.

He was the last to lose his true nature and the first to wake up. In an instant, he understood that it was this new man who had saved them, and quickly urged the other three to gather where Xiaoxia and the others were!

As soon as the possessed spirit left, the three people were still in confusion. At this moment, Zuo De yelled in their ears and was caught by him at the injured place. They immediately woke up and ran to the ground crawling. Come to Xiaoxia.

"Let's go!" Ruan Zhan said to Xiao Xia when he saw no answer.

With his current strength, it would take a long time for him to recover after using palm thunder or barrier once, and he could not use it continuously. Fortunately, he frightened those resentful spirits by pretending to be powerful, and now it is best for them to go to a more powerful space. Go to a small place. He also carries some charms with him, hoping that they can prevent the evil spirits from invading and give him some time to break the seal.

"Where are we going?" Zuo De asked.

"Do you have any suggestions for finding a place that is relatively closed and has a small space?"

Ruan Zhan heard Zuo De's voice and knew that he was the one who had been trying to get rid of the control of the possessed spirit. He admired him deeply, so he asked him. As an ordinary person, it is quite remarkable that he can do this in that kind of environment.

"You've asked the right person." Zuo De actually chuckled in this environment. "Although I have never been here, I happened to look at the miniature model of this town - but, does it matter?" He said Looked around.

"It doesn't matter, so what if they know?"

"Okay." Ruan Zhan's attitude gave Zuo De some confidence, "Go straight east from here. There is a residential building. The outermost floor is a commercial building, which is more in line with your requirements."

"Then let's go!" Ruan Zhan nodded, "Two people stand in a row, close together, and you will break the rear. Remember, you must stand within one meter. You will be responsible for the crazy person."
