The Exorcist

Chapter 26 Secret Lover

Bao Datong stopped what I was about to say, as if he was afraid of interrupting his train of thought. He thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "This reminds me of a vulgar but reasonable possibility!"

"Don't be so pretentious, just say it." My mind was confused at the moment, and I didn't have any of my usual quick reactions left.

"The toad wants to eat the swan's meat! You, a top student in the Department of Psychology, must have heard this sentence." He raised his eyebrows at me.

It dawned on me.

But then I thought about it, that toad is just a shape and may not necessarily have a metaphorical meaning. Besides, who would turn themselves into a toad?

"You think, he hates you for no reason; he pesters Nana for no reason; he harms girls for no reason, but nothing in this world is without a reason, even if it seems like In this case, there will be deep reasons." Bao Datong said, "So we assume that he has a crush on Nana. This is very reasonable, because Nana is so beautiful and cute, but Nana is your girlfriend, of course he wants to put you in the situation. Damn it! And if he wants to get close to Nana, he will probably use the girls around her!"

"There is another question." I said, "I always feel like he is a foreigner. I have been in this school for four years, but recently things have started to happen frequently in this lake!"

"Yes, I also feel that the moisture on his body is not very old. So, according to our guess, when did he fall in love with Nana? He accidentally settled in the lake and accidentally saw Did you fall in love with Nana at first sight, or did you meet Nana somewhere else and chase her after her?"

I shook my head. I really couldn’t recall anything. Since I fell in love with Nana, we have traveled to many places. How could I imagine where this thing was hiding? But I am certain of one thing - if he moved to that lake from other places, that poor child would be his first prey, and Xiaoling would be the second, and then he might have used Xiaoling to get close to Na Na, approaching and threatening her. Nana ran away cowardly, but unfortunately the girl who jumped off the building became a victim, and was used by the evil spirit as a bargaining chip to further threaten Nana!

The next day, I rented a short-term house east of the school for a week. The reason why it is in that direction is because Bao Datong said that the purple energy coming from the east is very beneficial recently. The reason why it is not far from the school is also because he said that the other party can reach it no matter how far away it is. On the contrary, it is more dangerous for them to walk on the road, so why not Hide to his fortified home as soon as possible.

In fact, we all know in our hearts that the chance of that thing catching up outside the school is slim. We are the most dangerous on campus. It's okay during the day, but once it gets dark, we have to be careful.

The frightening day passed just like that. After dinner, the three of us returned to the rental house. Bao Datong winked at me, so I had no choice but to walk up to the worried Nana and hold her hand.

Nana trembled, as if she knew what I was going to ask, she didn't even look at my face and withdrew her hand.

"I-I'm going outside to smoke a cigarette." Bao Datong hesitated and ran to the balcony. In fact, he didn't smoke at all. This excuse for leaving was extremely funny, but everyone had something on their mind and no one noticed.

I cautiously approached Nana again and tentatively held her in my arms. In an instant, I felt her whole body collapse, her body hanging limply on my body, sobbing repressedly.

"It's not your fault." I comforted me softly, knowing that she must be blaming herself for the girl who jumped off the building. After all, it was her escape that implicated the innocent girl. If she had faced it bravely, what would happen now? Girls will not die!

Yesterday, Bao Datong had used Xiaoling to make the incident happen again. It was the evil spirit that made the noise outside the window. When the girl who woke up from her sleep curiously opened the curtains, she saw a terrifying bloody face. In the panic, before she could scream, the ghostly hand outside the window grabbed her by the neck and threw her out of the building, killing her on the spot!

"You're not wrong, you were trying to protect me!" I continued, "Don't blame yourself, we'll handle it together if anything happens!"

"This has nothing to do with you, don't ask!" She suddenly pushed me away, looking very excited. This makes me angry and distressed. On the one hand, she selfishly chose a way to escape, even though she knew it would hurt others; on the other hand, she did it for me. She has always been kind, but for me she would rather Carrying such a heavy spiritual burden!

Gritting my teeth, I told Nana what happened to me last night, and told Nana clearly that the evil spirit was lying to her. He would never let me go. He just wanted me to die and then get her.

Nana looked at me in disbelief, her face as white as snow, and I felt that the heavy psychological pressure was weighing her down and she couldn't even breathe smoothly. This made me feel very distressed. I sat next to her and hugged her and said, "Tell me everything. We want to stay together for a lifetime. If we can't face this difficulty together, how will we survive such a long life?" ?”

Nana didn't speak, but I felt she was hesitating. She should have understood that I was right, but she was too frightened to make up her mind. I didn't rush her, I just touched her shoulders gently, physically conveying an aura of stability and trust to her.

Finally, she moved and said with difficulty, "He said - if I tell anyone, I will kill you!" Her tears welled up, "I can't let you die, I can't live without you. Get down!"

Her words made my heart suddenly wrinkle, and I didn’t know what to say while holding her, but she seemed to have opened the floodgates of emotions and continued to murmur, "After Xiaoling died, he came to me! Every night They all entered my dreams and never let me go every night. He said he loved me and threatened me not to tell anyone or leave the school, otherwise you would be unlucky and my family would be unlucky, classmate. We will be in trouble too! I believe he can do it! I don't dare! I don't dare! At first, he just said a lot of horrible and disgusting words to me, and then he started to use his hands and feet - touching me, kissing me, and letting me I felt like there were a bunch of cold snakes crawling on my body, but in the end he actually wanted to treat me - I couldn't bear it anymore, so I ran out of school. I didn't expect anything to happen to Yanyan! I regret it! I didn't want to - I didn't mean it ――I really didn’t mean it!”

"Hush -Hush -it's okay -it's okay!" I soothed her gradually excited emotions, although I heard the evil spirits like this, I wanted to kill him immediately, but I had to let Nana Calm down and let her understand that I can protect her, "Calm down, let's talk slowly. Bao Datong is here now, and A Zhan will be back in a few days. When we join forces, we will definitely be able to eliminate him. But can't we hide?" If you use it, he will harm more people. Can you feel at ease? And he is so crazy, do you think he will let us go? When we were traveling in the mountains and forests, we defeated all the vicious demons. This one will definitely do the same. We'll beat him back to his grandma's house! Don't be afraid, fear is the most terrible emotion."

Nana nodded with tears in her eyes. When I saw this, I called Bao Datong in.

"He is indeed a toad who wants to eat swan meat!" I said, "He must be something in the water, and he must have just arrived, right? But - where did he come from? Why not go to his world to find it? , and fall in love with a human girl?"

"He -" Nana said in a dry voice, "He is from the water and he is new here, but he - fell in love with me as early as four years ago! And you all know him!"

"Do we know each other?" I was very surprised. "When did we know a water ghost? Why didn't I know!"

"You mentioned that trip to the mountains -" Nana said quietly, "think about it, who drowned there last time?"

After a few seconds of silence, Bao Datong slapped his thigh suddenly, and I was instantly stunned!

It's Zhao Jiang!

The Zhao Jiang who was as shy and thin as a girl and so taciturn that people could ignore him; the Zhao Jiang who had always had a crush on Nana but never told him; the Zhao Jiang who was desperate when Nana was submerged in a pool during the trip in the mountains and forests. The Zhao Jiang who jumped in to save people; the Zhao Jiang who was controlled by the demon baby after drowning and led his classmates astray!

It turned out to be him!

After Duan Jin's children were eliminated, because he and the little maid were also victims, Uncle Bao did not take them in, but sent them to the land of reincarnation. But why did he not leave with a strong obsession? Want to go back to campus? Why did he become so powerful?

I turned to look at Bao Datong, who quickly raised his hand, "I don't know what happened? My father definitely sent him to where he should go. Logically speaking, he can't look back. What went wrong?" Already?"

"How did I know!" I said, "It turns out that eradicating evil is all right, but it's useless to complain now. We have to find a solution as soon as possible!"

"How did he find you?" Bao Datong asked Nana, "Just through a dream?"

"It was a nightmare at first. Later, I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or hallucination, or if he really came to me." Nana trembled when she talked about this. "He said he was very hungry, but he ate the food of the child and the migrant worker." I'm not hungry anymore after my soul. He captured Xiaoling. He wants to use Xiaoling to see me! He has become very powerful. Even if he is not as good as the demon baby back then, he is still enough to hurt the people I love. I can feel this, so I am very afraid of him. He also threatened me not to tell you and A Zhan, otherwise he will let you die first. If I behave, he will consider letting you and my family go! Remember that day we went Were you almost hit by an out-of-control car while eating out of school?"

I nodded, remembering what happened that day. Nana seemed to be in a bad mood during those few days. It seems now that it might have been because of that threatening nightmare, but I didn’t know that at the time. I thought she was unhappy because I didn’t often accompany her, so I took the time to take her out for a holiday. Have a romantic night.

As we were walking down the street, we were moving along the sidewalk, but a car that was driving suddenly lost control and rushed towards us. In an emergency, I pushed Nana aside. Just as I was about to be knocked away, the car suddenly swerved to the side and hit the wall of a shop. The driver was seriously injured on the spot.

I was in a hurry to help save people. When the driver was taken away by the ambulance, I realized that Nana had been sitting on the ground staring into the distance. I thought she was frightened, so I comforted her with coaxing, and then forgot about it.

"Is the car accident that didn't happen related to Zhao Jiang?" I asked.

Nana nodded with lingering fear, as if recalling what happened that day, "I saw him squatting on the tree and smiling at me. He was squatting in the middle of the leaves. Water was dripping from the trunk! He was holding a red rope in his hand. The other end of the rope is tied to the car! People can't see him and this strange rope, but I can! This is real, not an illusion. He is telling me that he can let you die at any time, and since he can Coming from such a far away place, he can go anywhere, and the campus can’t trap him! I’m afraid he’ll kill you, and I don’t know what to do, so I can only drag it on day by day!”

I glanced at Bao Datong suspiciously, which shocked him, "Don't look at me, he didn't come here using me! Think about those accidents, but they happened before I came here."

That's what I thought. Although Azhan said that a spirit body cannot leave the place where it died alone, and it must be attached to something to leave, but I have also heard of many cases of humans helping spirit bodies for some kind of benefit. Zhao Jiang could use anything to return to campus, and judging from the time, he had been waiting for a long time.

"Besides, I don't think he is powerful enough to control outsiders to harm you." Bao Datong continued, "Do you think that if he hates you so much, how could he spare you? If he really could, there would be a hundred car accidents that could save you. die!"

"Then how do you explain what Nana said?" I said.

"You are a person with extremely strong yang energy. Not only are ordinary evil spirits unable to take over such a person, but they also have to avoid you to avoid hurting themselves. Of course, evil spirits with magical power are another matter!" Bao Datong explained, "Also, On the one hand, such a person also has an advantage, that is, it is not easy to change his fortune. If it is not a spiritual body with extremely high magic power, it cannot take away your life, and it will be seriously injured."

"You make it easy, you are not the one who is seriously injured!"

"I'm not done yet." Bao Datong spread his hands, "He wants to control foreign objects to hurt you. He not only wants to suppress your luck, but also controls other objects and people. Things may be possible, but he also controls you and the other person. Two people - I don't think he has such great moral character. I said, if he could, you would have died a hundred times, so this is just him using Nana's concern for you to scare her. Do you think the world is Is it a place where fierce ghosts are rampant? They don't just do whatever they want, especially considering that his Taoism is only a little higher than mine, and he is not that powerful yet."

"I understand, he wanted to say to Nana: What, your boyfriend's life is in my hands. In fact, he could only control the car that suddenly lost control, but he could not control the driver's braking measures, let alone my fate. Yeah?"

"Basically - that's what it means." Bao Datong said, "Judging from Nana's statement, I can also deduce why he escaped from where he was supposed to go and became magical. Remember? Also with him at that time was Duan Jin's little maid. She had been with Duan Jin for a long time, and she also had some magical power, but she was kind and timid by nature, so she never did any harm. Zhao Jiang and her were We walked together. I think Zhao Jiang must have used some method to transfer her magic power to himself, and maybe even harmed her and increased his own power. Zhao Jiang has a strong obsession with Nana, this is not that What a simple maid can guard against, but now he can actually eat souls, it shows that he must have absorbed power that does not belong to him, otherwise judging from the time, he would not have been able to cultivate to such an extent!"

Bao Datong's words made me break out in cold sweat, not from fear of ghosts, but from fear of human nature. He just has a crush on Nana, why can he do so many evil things just for this feeling? Can love actually make people so dirty? But love is originally the most beautiful thing in the world!
