The Exorcist

Chapter 8 Reunion

What's wrong with her?

Why would you treat a cute little kid like a weirdo? Why does this hallucination occur?

It must be her imagination! Because except for her, no one noticed anything wrong with the child. Even if the child was a monster and could pretend, Bao Datong was not a mortal. If there was something different, there was no way he wouldn't be able to see it!

Therefore, there can only be a problem on her side!

Ever since she came back from Hongqing Town, everything was wrong with her. It was just a high fever that persisted due to excessive fatigue and acclimatization. She was not a squeamish person, but this time she had not fully recovered after recuperating for a long time. Not only was her body always tired easily, but she was often in a trance. Even though I was there, I always felt like there was something wrong with me.

After the incident of pushing the child down for no reason, she could only keep apologizing, saying that she was negligent. Lu Yan didn't blame her at all. Later, when she saw that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, he came over to comfort her, which made her feel even more guilty. Didn't she want to help the mother and son? Why hurt someone first? Fortunately, the child's knee was only bruised and swollen. Otherwise, what would she do?

Because of this matter, she was depressed along the way. Wan Li and Bao Datong rarely quarreled, but sang and talked to her, trying to divert her attention. She didn't want to be an emotional polluter, and tried her best to pretend to have forgotten the matter, but she couldn't relieve herself no matter what. There was no longer that terrible child in her mind, only the hurt and wronged eyes of the lovely child, so annoying. People are pitiful and timid, as if they have been condemning her roughness.

"Speaking of which, do you think this matter is easy to handle?" Wan Li asked Bao Datong.

Bao Datong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not just a matter of whether we can recruit the man named Zhang Zixin, but what's even more difficult is how to help Lu Yan and her son." He guessed right, Lu Yan did not officially marry Zhang Zixin Married, at least legally she was not his wife.

Lu Yan and Zhang Zixin were childhood sweethearts, but because their parents had never allowed them to be together, they came to this city together after Zhang Zixin was admitted to college. Since Lu Yan didn't go to college, she had been working as a handyman to make ends meet while supplementing Zhang Zixin's tuition.

After Zhang Zixin graduated, he worked as a reporter for the city's Morning News. In his sophomore year, his parents died in an accident, so he used his inheritance to buy a house in the city and planned to get married when the mourning period was over. Lu Yan waited and looked forward to it, and finally the wedding day arrived. Zhang Zixin suddenly said that he had an exclusive news to interview and would be away for a few days. Because they were about to break up, and because they were getting married in less than half a month, the two spent a passionate night.

However, Zhang Zixin never came back!

At this time, Lu Yan already had a child in her belly. She was unwilling to abort the child according to her parents' will. She wanted to leave proof that Zhang Zixin existed in this world. Her family announced in anger that they would sever ties with her. From then on, she I can only live a difficult life with a child alone.

"Did you feel ghost energy in her home?" Xiaoxia thought of her uneasy feelings in the dark corridor, "I mean - Zhang Zixin, are you there?"

"First of all, the location of the place where she lives is not good, it is old and dark, and there are few residents, so the yin energy is very strong." Bao Datong said seriously, "There is indeed an abnormal aura in her home, but that cannot be What does it prove? Because this kind of place is easy to attract evil spirits, and now we can’t be sure whether Zhang Zixin is lingering nearby.”

"Are these things just her imagination?" Wan Li said, "After all, Zhang Zixin just disappeared. Now there is no one alive or dead body. Legally speaking, he has been missing for five years and can apply for declaration of death, but the situation is not OK. From a psychological point of view, this is possible. The mental state of both mother and child is not very stable."

"No, Zhang Zixin must be dead." Xiao Xia said quietly, "Zhang Zixin is the person Lu Yan loves so much, she must feel it."

"I agree with Xiao Xia's point of view." Bao Datong took over, "Two people who love each other very much will be connected. There is no doubt about this."

Hearing Bao Datong's words, Xiaoxia's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately remembered Ruan Zhan's name. She didn't know why she had such a big reaction, but she felt his gentle and cold face rising from the deepest part of her heart, making her heart swell with pain.

where is he? Why haven't you come back yet? Forgot her? Or was there something going on in his hometown, or some woman, that held him back?

"Now that it's confirmed, how do you plan to summon the soul?" Wan Li's words interrupted Xiaoxia's reverie and saved her from crying out due to heartache.

"It's like this: Under normal circumstances, people will enter the process of reincarnation and start a new life soon after death. But those who have strong reluctance or resentment will stay in the human world in an abnormal state. Relatively long time, the length of time varies. Some are only a few months, some are decades, or even hundreds of thousands of years. If you stay for such a long time, you will gradually develop Taoism. If you cultivate intentionally It will be even worse. Among them, the kind ones will help people solve their sufferings, and the evil ones will cause harm to the world. And those of us who practice Taoism are to prevent the latter situation from happening and protect the peace of the world. "

"I don't know when Zhang Zixin died and whether he had any moral integrity." Wan Li whispered.

"Although he may have died five years ago, he should have some ability. However, if what Lu Yan said is true, that is, she can only feel him, but cannot see him, cannot talk, and does not even have a dream. , then there is only one explanation - not only his physical body died, but his soul was also injured, otherwise, he was imprisoned by something!"

"You clearly have two explanations." Wan Li snorted.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you." Bao Datong shrugged, "In short, Lu Yan's matter is very abnormal. In other words, if my guess is correct, this is not just a matter of communicating yin and yang."

"Are there evil spirits?" Xiaoxia asked.

"We don't know yet. Everything depends on the results of my investigation. However, it won't work today. The Yin energy in that place is very strong. Our sudden appearance will make the Yang energy strong, and anything will be frightened away, especially It’s because this dear friend’s yang energy is rare and strong, like no one in a million.” Bao Datong pointed at Wanli.

Wan Li didn't reply, feeling a little uneasy. Why couldn't Lu Yan's matter be as simple as the previous business deals Bao Datong took on? Is there another evil spirit this time? Why does he always feel like there is an invisible curse haunting them?

The three of them stopped talking and drove directly back to the bar. As soon as they arrived at the place, Xiaoxia was the first to run in. She was still in a bad mood, so she ran back upstairs without staying downstairs. Last time, because of Miss Sun's incident, she moved to a bar again. Although there seemed to be no danger now, she did not move away.

She wanted to live where he lived, so that she would feel that he was nearby. Perhaps subconsciously, she was waiting for him to come back!

The light in the bedroom was on, and Xiaoxia frowned, reproaching herself for forgetting to turn off the light again. In her education, waste was shameful. She pushed the door open and just about to throw her backpack on the bed, a man's figure immediately broke into her sight without warning.

Ruan Zhan! He is back!

This accident was too sudden. Just a moment ago, she was still longing for him, and the next moment, he appeared! Is it an illusion? Xiaoxia couldn't think or breathe. She took two steps forward mechanically and subconsciously reached out to touch his face. The warm texture of the skin in her hands told her that he was real!

She wanted to speak, but her voice was stuck in her throat. She didn't say anything, and Ruan Zhan didn't say a word either. The two of them just looked at each other with their eyes locked together. The room was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats, as if there was only this part of the world, just the two of them!

The strong attraction and huge repulsion made the atmosphere in the room tense and ambiguous. Ruan Zhan desperately told himself to look away and move his steps, but he just couldn't do it. He couldn't resist getting closer and closer to Xiaoxia. The separation did not make him forget her at all, but made his lovesickness even more profound!

He unconsciously reached out to touch Xiaoxia's hair, and unconsciously bent his face towards her. He didn't know what he was doing at all, he just relied on the guidance of his heart. However, for Xiaoxia, her heart was so chaotic that she had no clue.

Is he going to kiss her? It seems so. But why did he kiss her? When did their relationship develop so rapidly? Or, he was just happy to meet again after a long separation. She felt that her breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and all the air in her chest was squeezed out. Seeing his face getting closer and closer to her, her vision became blurred.

She really wanted him to kiss her, so she slightly pursed her red lips. But at this moment, she couldn't breathe, she felt her feet go weak, and she fainted directly in Ruan Zhan's arms. She had encountered the most terrifying things and encountered the most terrifying pursuits, but she rarely fainted. Her nerves were indescribably tenacious, but just a second before the kiss she longed for came, she shamefully Fainted!

Before losing consciousness, she thought with great annoyance.

Ruan Zhan caught Xiaoxia's body and held her tightly in his arms.

What is he doing? If Xiaoxia hadn't fainted 'in time', he would have almost made another big mistake. If he kissed her, would he have to erase her memory again? Frequently forcibly deleting or changing memories is harmful to the body. Just like Xiaoxia, just one time left the body unable to recover. He understood that she was too impressed by this memory, and when he started to delete her memory, she had already realized that the strong psychological resistance brought about unknown physiological reactions.

The last thing he wanted to do in this world was hurt her. He would rather die countless times, would rather suffer all the pain in the world, than hurt her at all! But the truth is, he is hurting her!

When she was sick, he secretly visited her every night; when he was far away, he dreamed of her every night; he hesitated for a long time and did a lot of psychological construction before returning to this place; however, as soon as he arrived, He knew she was staying in this room again. Just as he was considering whether to leave, she suddenly barged in.

She is such a reckless girl. From the first day they met, she always barged in when he was least prepared, leaving him with no time to react rationally!

And emotion is always more loyal to the soul than reason!

"If you really can't control it, just love her!" Wan Li's voice came from the door, "You make everyone suffer."

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, he just picked up Xiaoxia, gently put her on the bed and covered her with a sheet.

"There is no way to compare which one is more painful." Wan Li added.

Ruan Zhan still didn't speak and just sat by the bed.

"Don't you think it's too much for you two to do this?" Wan Li turned around and closed the door, a little angry, "Xiao Xia is so slow that she doesn't understand. I also have a crush on her. What about you, you know she loves you, but you still keep Shutting her out always makes me unable to give up completely. Why should the love between you two be buried with me! I just robbed your Nana, so you have to punish me with Xiaoxia? "

"Secret love won't be too sad." Ruan Zhan finally said, "So I can't let her start, then she won't be in pain, and the hurt will be lighter than loving unforgettable and then losing it completely. As for you, I just want She is happy and happy, no matter whether you live or die."

Although he knew that Ruan Zhan was just being indifferent and still cared about him as a close friend of life and death, Wan Li was still so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Then what are you going to do? Just drag it on like this?"

"I will die. Wanli, I will die. When I die, she will learn to bury me in her heart. She may think of me occasionally, but she will still have her own life. And I, as long as I look at her enough."

"Really? The Great Lover!" Wan Li was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "What if you don't die? What if I risk my life to prevent you from dying?"

"I can't escape this time. Not only are the two masters my father and Sima Nan predicted this, but I also feel that I won't survive next spring." Ruan Zhan said calmly, as if talking about someone else's business, "Since it's already If you can’t change, escaping from reality is useless, so it’s better to make plans in advance.”

"So what's your plan?"

"It's very simple. I want to investigate my life experience, and I want to understand why I have such a fate! I can't be played by God without resisting. I want to live clearly and die clearly."

"I'm not interested in listening to you shouting slogans. Let's be practical." Wan Li pulled up a chair and sat down. He glanced at Xiao Xia and saw that she had no intention of waking up and was completely passed out.

Ruan Zhan told Wan Li all the clues he had investigated in his hometown, his own suspicions, and what Sima Nan had left.

"Ye Feng Huan, Yin and Yang Ji, are you sure he is dead?" Wan Li murmured these three sentences repeatedly.

"I don't think Sima Nan is making up his mind. He didn't say it clearly, so he must have his reasons." Ruan Zhan frowned, "So if I want to solve this mystery, I have to get involved in more supernatural events. Because I don't have any clues now, and this There are not many people with strong spiritual power in the world. If he hides, that's it. If he can't help but appear, I may find clues in such incidents."

Wan Li pondered for a long time, feeling that Ruan Zhan's decision was unavoidable, "That's just right. Bao Datong is running some kind of Zhouyi Culture Company, and you come to help him. This won't kill two birds with one stone. You know Bao Datong is here, right?"

Ruan Zhan smiled and said, "The two gossipy boys downstairs have told me a long time ago."

"Don't you blame him for making your bar look like this?"

"I will restore it to its original state." Ruan Zhan turned around and took a deep look at Xiaoxia, "However, I want to live with you. The aura of Xiaoxia's house is not good. It has been a troubled time recently, so let's let it go. It’s safer for her to live here, nothing evil can get in here.”

"Can evil things get in? Maybe. But it's safe - are you sure she is safe with Bao Datong?"

"Don't worry." Ruan Zhan patted Wan Li on the shoulder, "I don't know Bao Datong, but trust me, he won't come here for no reason. There must be an unexplainable reason. Moreover, although he has a playful smile, he is a Decent people.”
