The Exorcist

Chapter 29 One Centimeter Distance

The rain is getting heavier!

I was walking in the rain with Bao Datong on my back, and I saw his figure rushing past me. I don't know how he did it. He was able to create such an illusion. He was clearly hiding in the dark. My back can make people mistakenly think that we parted ways at the door of the library.

"Don't walk on the mud. Footprints will reveal secrets." Bao Datong warned me in a voice that only I could hear.

I know it without him having to say it. Bao Datong is so heavy that I might not be able to carry him even if I usually love to exercise. On the surface, my hands were resting unnaturally on my waist, holding a broken wooden stick in my hand, and I was looking around all the way, with a look of searching and alert on my face. In fact, I was gradually walking towards the woods. The direction was approaching, and I felt anxious and flustered, not knowing what to do! Because although Bao Datong said that the grove should be burned down, what to do before that depends entirely on playing by chance!

From the first step into the woods, I knew that Bao Datong had not made a mistake in his judgment. Zhao Jiang and Nana were inside, because as soon as I entered it, I felt an indescribable coldness. It was a temperature that was not very low. But it makes people’s hair stand on end.

What is Zhao Jiang doing?

He doesn't have the ability to trap other souls for a long time, so he won't take Nana to the lake because that would be tantamount to killing her! Then why did he suddenly kidnap Nana and come to the woods? Could it be that he wanted to escape and had to find a way to take Nana away before escaping?

"He's waiting for us." I said 'to myself' in a very low voice.

"Of course, you just want to understand! If he hadn't been waiting for us, he would have run away long ago!" Bao Datong said, "He didn't expect that we would discover the secrets in the lake, and Azhan will be back tomorrow, and he won't leave Are you waiting to die? But how can he be willing to let you live? As long as you live for one day, Nana will not love him! In fact, he does not understand that even if you do not exist, Nana will not love him. You must know that feelings are The most natural thing cannot be forced at all.”

"It's a pity that he doesn't understand." I sighed, "Are we facing the enemy head-on?"

"We are divided into two groups. You forgot, I am busy outside the woods!" Bao Datong said, "He is either distracted to deal with both of us, or he doesn't realize that 'you' are actually 'us' If we neglect to take precautions, we will have a chance no matter what. Don’t worry, my illusion skills are pretty good, and with his level, he won’t find any flaws.”

I didn't say anything, but I understood what he meant. Zhao Jiang is stronger than us, so we will win by confusing our opponents! I turned around and looked around, and saw the fake "Bao Datong" sneaking around outside the woods, as if he was up to some conspiracy, thinking that Zhao Jiang would definitely be fooled.

In the woods, there was a winding gravel path, cutting the entire forest in half. I walked slowly on it. Although based on time and distance, I should have walked out of the woods, but the path in front of me was still going infinitely into the darkness. Middle extension. I know that I am trapped in the barrier again, but I am not in a hurry at this time, but hope that the duel will come soon!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops rustled on the leaves and grass, as if someone was following me every step I took. The night was also unusually dark. I only relied on my eyes that had adapted to the darkness and the reflection of the raindrops. The glimmer of light discerns the path.

Suddenly, two oval-shaped white objects appeared in front of me, drifting towards me in the dark woods!

I immediately stopped walking and felt the Bao Datong on my back tighten.

I unconsciously grabbed the mahogany stick in my hand and stared straight ahead, watching the dazzling white color in the darkness get closer and closer, and then stopped ten steps in front of me.

Click——

After a bright flash of lightning, a thunder roared in the air. After the thunder, there was suddenly some faint light in the woods, as if the black curtain on the stage had been lifted up, allowing me to clearly see the forest clearing in front of me.

There, a man and a woman stood facing each other, wearing European medieval costumes. The white oval objects I saw were the masks they still wore on their faces. They clasped their hands and stood in the rain completely oblivious, looking at each other affectionately, as if they were continuing the unfinished play on the stage!

"Don't move! Look what tricks he is playing!" Although only I had to hear his voice, Bao Datong couldn't help but lower his voice.

I suppressed the urge to rush forward and stood quietly, as if I was scared to death!

"Nana, I love you! I love you very much! Come with me!" the man suddenly said.

I always accompany Nana in rehearsals and don’t remember such a plot. This scene is obviously ‘improved’. Moreover, not only was the heroine's name in the line changed from Christine to Nana, but the male protagonist's body was still that of a tall and dark boy, but his voice was sharp and weak, with a slight tremor. He was obviously Zhao Jiang's voice!

"I-" Nana hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know how to answer.

"You said you love me and are willing to go with me!" Zhao Jiang reminded, with a little uneasiness in his voice. It was obvious that Nana's reaction was different from what he expected.

From the stage of the small auditorium, things started to go wrong between the hero and heroine. At that time, I was guarding the front desk and Bao Datong was guarding the backstage. It was impossible for Zhao Jiang to control Nana effortlessly because Nana had no less than a dozen talismans on her. Although Bao Datong's ability is insufficient, if it weren't for the sudden rain that allowed Zhao Jiang to use the water to increase his strength, he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wants under our noses.

But the rain that was not planned came, although it was small, it was deadly rain! At that time, everyone was so focused, some on the drama, some on the actors, that they didn't even notice.

So Zhao Jiangren sneaked in unnoticed, avoided Bao Datong's reaction to the spirit body, hid in front of those of us who have no discernment, and then took the opportunity to strike.

Not only did he take over the boy's body and take Nana away in front of everyone, but now he also used this body to stage a love drama in front of me. But although Nana was controlled by his evil magic, she still had strong feelings for me deep down in her heart, so she was at a loss for a moment.

"Nana, let me go!" Seeing that Nana still didn't answer, Zhao Jiang raised his voice, which sounded particularly sad in the wind and rain.

"Pull her back." Bao Datong urged me.

"Nana, don't believe him!" I shouted and took a few steps forward, "Look at me, Nana, I am Wanli!"

"Wanli?" Nana repeated, slowly turned her head to look at me, and asked doubtfully, "Who is Wanli?"

Zhao Jiang burst out laughing, very happy that his magic made Nana forget me, but he was only proud for a moment, because Nana kept mumbling my name, and then said to me as if she was under a spell. Take a few steps.

"Shut up, Nana!" Zhao Jiang grabbed Nana's hand, "You are not allowed to say this name again. It is me you love, it is me you love!"

"I have seen people who deceive themselves, but I have never seen symptoms as severe as yours." I turned to Zhao Jiang and asked him to focus on me so that Nana would be less controlled by him. "You are so demanding. As you say, why don’t you buy a parrot?”

"She would have loved me without you!"

“How can love be forced?”

"I will kill you." He smiled instead of angry. His words were like caterpillars crawling across the grass, making people feel numb.

"If you have the ability, come here and try. Don't hold a woman hostage! No woman would like a coward hiding behind a woman!" I felt Bao Datong on my back slowly rub against the ground, knowing that he had found a flaw and was about to take action. , so he deliberately angered Zhao Jiangdao.

"What did you say?" Zhao Jiang asked gently, but I felt that he was going to be angry to death, or that he was going to be so angry that he was going to die again!

"Isn't it?" I raised the hand holding the mahogany stick slightly, which was caused by Bao Datong grabbing my wrist, but this movement caught Zhao Jiang's attention. He stared at me closely, and I pretended to be nonchalant and continued, "When you were alive, you clearly liked her, but you didn't dare to express it; now that you are no longer alive, you don't dare to explain it; you couldn't let her go, but you used her Such a despicable method, do you think everything you do is very manly?"

"I can die for her, can you? You or Ruan Zhan, who can do it for her?" Zhao Jiang screamed, "In that mountain forest, I was the only one who went into the pool to save her!"

"No, if necessary, we will sacrifice our lives to save her!" I said tit for tat, "Just because you are dead, do you think you are great? If you are really so great and your love is so selfless, why do you Are you here today to demand something in return? Why are you trying to take away her life and make her feel unhappy?"

I looked at Nana who was standing aside. Although I couldn't see her face under the mask, I still felt her confusion. "You just want to get her. Don't talk about your resentment in such a beautiful way. This is not love." !”

"Shut up!" Zhao Jiang roared.

I raised my arm, but it was actually Bao Datong behind me who raised my arm. "Hit him with a stick!" He said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly.

"What can a piece of broken wood do to me?" Zhao Jiang laughed wildly.

I also knew it wouldn't work, but I did it anyway. Because I understand that when fighting against the enemy, you must trust your companions. Even if you have doubts in your heart, you must completely implement it! This is called cooperation!

So after Bao Datong finished speaking, I stretched out my body and threw the wooden stick at Zhao Jiang with all my strength!

It was peach wood, which had the effect of warding off evil spirits. In addition, Bao Datong had carved a talisman on it crookedly, so even though it posed no threat to Zhao Jiang, he had to get past it and couldn't be completely indifferent! And at the same time as I took action, I felt Bao Datong's hand that was close to my arm also waved out!

It’s just that the direction he waved was not to Zhao Jiang, but to Nana’s face!

There was a 'pop' sound, and the moment Zhao Jiang avoided my peach wood stick, a stone hit the mask on Nana's face heavily. The force of this blow was so great that Nana, who was stupid and didn't know how to dodge, staggered and almost fell down. At the same time, a small blue light flashed across the white-painted wooden mask and split into two, revealing Nana's confused face.

"Nana! Come here!" I yelled because Bao Datong had left my back, which reduced the pressure on my body. I quickly ran a few steps and reached out to Nana!

Nana was stunned for a moment, and then she almost subconsciously reached out her hand to me, but at the moment our hands were holding each other, Zhao Jiang rushed over at an incredible speed and pulled Nana away from my hand again!

Only one centimeter, only this centimeter, I didn't catch her! Only one centimeter difference!

"Wan Li, save me!" Nana's cry came.

Because the mask was broken, she suddenly woke up. It turned out that Bao Datong was hiding behind me and observing, and finally discovered that Zhao Jiang was using those two masks to control these two people. He asked me to beat Zhao Jiang with a mahogany stick. In fact, he just asked me to attract Zhao Jiang's attention, while he went to rescue Nana!

Zhao Jiang on the side stared at me bitterly, as if he didn't understand why I threw away two things separately, and he didn't notice Bao Datong's existence for a while.

"Hold on for a while." Bao Datong whispered again.

Without saying a word, I pressed towards Zhao Jiang!

Zhao Jiang snorted coldly, grabbed Nana's neck with one hand, and pointed at me with the other hand. I immediately felt a wave of cold water vapor rushing toward me, cutting off my breath instantly!

The survival instinct made me raise my hands, trying desperately to pull away the membrane that sealed my mouth and nose, but it was invisible and intangible. No matter how I wiped it on my face, it still didn't help, and Bao Datong was behind me. Then he pushed my waist and asked me to continue walking forward.

"Hold on! Hold on! Just take one step forward!" He shouted anxiously!

It's easy to say, I tried my best to move forward, but the moving speed was still very slow, almost moving forward bit by bit!

"Haha, I didn't expect that you are still a lover, and you even risked your life for my Nana. Doing this will speed up your death." Zhao Jiang smiled sinisterly, "I know you have done diving and have a large lung capacity, but I I don’t believe how long you can hold on!”

"Let him go! I'll go with you!" Nana couldn't bear it anymore when she saw my miserable condition and started crying. "As long as you spare him, I will promise you anything! Please, please!" "

"no!"

"Please, I really - listen to you, you let me love you - I will love you, if you let me die, I will die! Please let him go!" Nana cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. The next breath made my heart beat like a knife. With a sudden burst of strength, he moved forward half a foot!

"No, he is about to die. As long as you obey me, I will make you forget these terrible things, and only I will be in your heart!" He said so gently and sincerely, yet so viciously and maliciously, Nana, who couldn't get rid of him, cried in despair.

"Wanli! Wanli!" she cried weakly.

"It's not up to you!" Bao Datong suddenly said, which not only shocked me, but also Zhao Jiang. Because Bao Datong was no longer behind me when he spoke, but rushed to Zhao Jiang's side.

In the dark rainy night, several talismans suddenly appeared on Zhao Jiang's arm. Following an inaudible incantation, the talismans suddenly burst into red light, and then a puff of light smoke came out.

ah--

Zhao Jiang obviously did not expect this sudden attack. He screamed, released his grip on Nana's neck, and shook her hard.

"Go on!" Bao Datong shouted again and pushed Nana over, who had regained her freedom, causing her to fall to the ground in front of me.

At this time, I had not yet escaped Zhao Jiang's grasp, but I couldn't care less about myself and struggled to grab Nana's pale little hand. Nana rushed over and held my head, crying and trying to pull away the invisible thing on my face, but she was powerless!
