The Exorcist

Chapter 32 Savior

I held a branch and placed it on the talisman fire.

I always thought that I was kind and soft-hearted, but when I was hurt so deeply, the anger in my heart could make me crazy and irrational. At this time, all the moral quotes were nonsense. I just wanted revenge and asked Zhao Jiang to pay the price. Although it could not make me get back what I had lost, it could numb the wounds in my soul.

Zhao Jiang was strung up on a branch and couldn't escape. He screamed one after another. His voice was very small, but I knew he was conscious. This made me feel the pleasure of revenge, and I knew Nana was watching next to him.

I didn't want to give him a good time, I wanted to torture him slowly, so I used the magical fire to burn him for a while, then took it away, and when he calmed down a little, I burned him again, making him suffer endless pain. Cleanse him from his sins.

He helped the demon baby to hurt his classmates for his own sake; he hunted down the innocent and kind-hearted little maid and absorbed their skills; he killed innocent children and migrant workers because of hunger; he killed innocent children and migrant workers in order to get close to Nana. Poor Xiaoling; he killed the girl who jumped off the building out of revenge, which eventually led to Nana's death!

My beloved Nana, my first love, the person I owe!

He wailed, he begged for mercy, but my heart was extremely hardened. Only now do I understand why the Chinese say, "A murder must be paid with a life, and a debt must be paid with money. It is only natural and right." ’ Because no one will do something wrong without paying the price. If you do something, you will have to bear the consequences, no matter how long it lasts, no matter how miserable it is!

I repeated the action without saying a word, and A Zhan and Bao Datong did not make a sound. They watched the black energy being roasted smaller and smaller, and the struggle became lighter and lighter, until there was no sound at all, until this time Finally, people who have been cut to pieces will no longer pollute the world.

I held the branch and was reluctant to throw it into the fire, because it meant the end of things and Nana would leave me forever. How I wish it wouldn't be dark, but I'm so small, how can I control the sky!

"Wanli." Azhan called me, his voice a bit unbearable.

I stood up, not daring to look at the white mist. I was so confused that my hands trembled for a long time. Finally, I threw the branch into the fire and ended my love with my own hands.

Ah Zhan beside me sighed softly and walked away with Bao Datong, while the white mist slowly drifted over and surrounded my body, reluctant to leave. I can't hear her voice, but I understand how much she misses me!

What should I do? My feelings make me unable to let go, but my reason makes me have to make a decision.

She is no longer mine. If I force her to stay, she will stay willingly, but she can only become a wandering soul, without happiness and afterlife, without the chance to be a human again, and I can give her nothing except pain and danger. She is dead and this is no longer her place.

"Let's go, Nana!" I held back my tears and forced myself to say calmly, "If there is an afterlife and we fall in love again, I swear I can find you!"

The white mist still lingered around me, wrapping me in it. I only felt the cool water vapor soothing me so gently, as if kissing my face. I stretched out my hand, but there was nothing I could grab or touch! Who says a man doesn’t cry or cry easily? At that moment, I really wanted to cry loudly, but I had to endure it because I knew that my pain would make her even more reluctant to let go.

I used all my strength to feel her last presence, exchanging thoughts with each other, completely forgetting myself, but the sky was still turning white uncontrollably, telling me that dawn was approaching!

"Let's go, Nana!" My heart ached. Every word I spoke was like a knife stabbing my heart. "I swear I will never forget you! In my whole life, you will always be in my heart." There will always be a location! The quietest and warmest location that no one can touch!"

A gust of wind blew, but the white mist did not disperse, only a whimper was heard in the wind. The voice was so sad that I almost let her go. I wanted to reassure her, so I stopped talking and watched with my own eyes the white mist floating gently and lingeringly around me, gradually becoming transparent, and then - dissipating!

I don’t even know how I got back to the hospital, I only know that I completely lost her! For many years to come, I often dreamed about her, but it was just my imagination caused by my longing. Because she gained peace when she left, she must have her new life!

Later, Bao Datong left, A Zhan and I graduated, and we never returned there. As for the campus case that year, because we all agreed that we didn’t know who attacked us from behind, we had no choice but to let it go.

Xiaoxia burst into tears. She never knew Wan Li was so deeply hurt in her heart.

"Only one centimeter difference!" Wan Li was still immersed in memories, "If I had been faster for one second, she would not have died! No matter whether our love will succeed in the end, at least she will not have to die! She is so young , cute - only one centimeter difference! Just a little bit -"

"Stop blaming yourself, it's not your fault!" Wanli looked so fragile at this moment, which made Xiaoxia's heart twist. Because Wan Li was sitting, she stepped forward and leaned over to hug him, trying to comfort him, "It's all God's fault. It's not your fault that he wants to make such a mistake to torture you!"

"No, it's because I didn't think well that I did this." Wan Li said stubbornly, as if blaming himself would ease the pain. "I was so complacent at that time, thinking that I could solve everything easily. I never thought about how complicated things are in the world. It’s complicated and hard to master!”

"It's not your fault. You were so young at that time, how could you have imagined it!" Xiaoxia hugged Wan Li's neck and hit him hard, feeling sorry for his self-punishment. "Besides, you also fulfilled your promise. You never I have forgotten her, and even ruined your marriage because of this incident. I think she will be happy if she knows something secretly. It is rare to be remembered by a man like you!"

She has never regretted it so much!

Why do you want to inquire about him and Bao Datong? Why do you have to open his healed wounds and make him bleed again? She hated herself very much, not only because she reminded Wan Li of the past that she couldn't bear to look back on, but also because of everyone's usual attitude towards Wan Li.

Everyone would come to him to vent and talk to when they had troubles and anxieties, especially her, as if he should help everyone relieve their psychological pressure, as if he was born to be everyone's guardian. No one has ever thought that he is also a human being. He also lives a hard and exhausted life in a prosperous city. He also has his own sadness and pain, but who has cared about the scars in his soul? Just because he is gentle and considerate, just because he smiles every day, won't it hurt if he is hurt?

"sorry Sorry!"

"Why are you saying sorry?" Her tears fell into the crook of his neck, making him tingle. "It's not your fault, silly girl!"

"I'm sorry anyway." Xiao Xia said, feeling that everyone was treating Wan Li too much.

Everyone around him regards him as a good friend, but does anyone really care about him? He always helped others, but when he was licking his wounds alone, did anyone give him gentle comfort? Maybe Ruan Zhan has, but she hasn't. How selfish she is!

Wan Li smiled bitterly and stopped arguing, "Stop crying, others will think I'm bullying you." He patted her back and continued, "Now you know why I always leave first every time I break up with you. Right? Because I can't bear to see others leave. This is my heart disease. I'm afraid that person will never come back. I am a doctor, but I can't solve my own problems. "

"Everyone has mental illness. It's abnormal not to have illness. You said it." Xiaoxia replied vaguely, but her heart was still hurting for Wanli.

"Yeah, I have a lot of problems, such as my attitude towards Bao Datong." Wan Li sighed, "He didn't do anything wrong. In fact, he has been helping us. But I subconsciously want to find someone who can pass on my pain. The media, so I would get angry at him. I blame the father and son for not accepting Zhao Jiang back then, I blame him for not pushing Nana one centimeter more towards me, I even blame him for not foreseeing the rain, ha, how unreasonable. "

"He seems to know this and is very cooperative in arguing with you!"

"Yeah, maybe he feels a little guilty too! The three of us couldn't save a delicate girl."

"Maybe this will make him feel better."

"Yes, I think A-Zhan is the same."

Ruan Zhan's name made Xiaoxia's body tremble slightly. She didn't know why she had such a big reaction when he was mentioned. Wan Li felt this keenly and felt sour in his heart.

"Do you know why Azhan was willing to help you in the beginning?" Wan Li ignored the new pain in his heart, "Because I said you looked like Nana."

"Do I look like it?" Xiaoxia was a little surprised and let go of Wan Li.

"It should be said - it's not like that. Except for the situation you were entangled by a fierce ghost, there is nothing like Nana imagined. She doesn't look like her, and her personality is even different. She is very delicate and will make men feel distressed unconsciously. You have an impatient temper, and you are usually very docile, but you are very tenacious when others are provoked, and you can be said to hate evil as much as you hate it!"

"That sounds like a compliment to me." Xiao Xia saw that Wan Li gradually calmed down, and her heartache for him softened a little, "But - just because I looked like Nana, I mean I was in a situation like Nana, that's why Ruan Zhan came to help. Me? He—still loves Nana?"

"It's not because of that." Wan Li saw that Xiao Xia was very concerned about this matter, so he told the truth, "He has never loved Nana deeply, or he has never loved any woman deeply."

Of course, if you are not included - Wanli makes up for it in his heart.

"So, he is also guilty about that matter?" Xiaoxia said, "I thought he helped me because of your face, or because he was afraid that I would reveal his secret."

"How could he be afraid of that!" Wan Li let out a long breath, "You have never seen his indifference before. He can watch innocent people die in front of him, but he will only step over that person, even with his eyelids. He doesn't even raise a finger. He can manipulate other people's memories. Is he still afraid that you will tell them? You are right, he is just guilty and wants to find a way to relieve himself, so he helps you. As for the future, that is up to you. The eldest lady is a top-notch scoundrel, and he is so entangled by you that there is nothing he can do."

Xiaoxia didn't say anything, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. Ruan Zhan can manipulate other people's memories, so has he also done this to himself? Otherwise, why has her memory been confused recently? She always feels that something happened, but she can't remember it?

But, no? She still remembered that during the Li Jingming incident, he promised herself that he would never manipulate her. He promised, and with his personality, he would definitely do what he said, but he probably wouldn't!

It must be her own wild imagination!

Xiaoxia shook her head, trying to get rid of this thought, but due to excessive exertion and her recent poor health, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell forward. Wan Li was startled and stretched out his arms to hug her, "Be careful!"

Xiaoxia fell onto Wanli's lap and took a moment to recover.

"I-" She wanted to say thank you, but when she looked up, she suddenly saw a man standing in front of the door.

That man was what she thought about day and night. At this moment, he suddenly appeared, making her feel like she was in a dream. She didn't react for a while, and just stared at him blankly.

"Azhan!" Wan Li reacted first, "You're back!"

Ruan Zhan looked away from Xiao Xia, pointed at Bao Datong, and walked into the room.

When Xiaoxia saw him move, she realized that she was still sitting on Wanli, and quickly stood up, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Can I prepare something for you?"

"Okay." Ruan Zhan replied briefly.

After hearing his affirmative answer, Xiaoxia hurriedly ran out the door and dared to breathe only when she reached the stairs. What's going on? Why did my heart almost jump out of my chest when I saw him? I wanted to rush over and hug him. If she doesn't leave as soon as possible, she might actually attack him! When did I become so perverted? No, if you want to divert your attention, you need to get him something to eat first. He looks so tired!

As she thought about it, she ran downstairs to get food for Ruan Zhan, but the atmosphere between the two men upstairs was a bit awkward.

"Is everything going well?" Wan Li broke the silence.

"It's okay." Ruan Zhan walked to Bao Datong, who was lying quietly on the bed. "The people in Xitou store are very simple. Although they didn't dare to say anything because they were afraid at the beginning, as long as they can help them and are sincere, they will Still willing to repay.”

"Have you found out the origin of 'Zhang Jialin'?"

Ruan Zhan nodded, "I have a general idea. Although there are still mysteries, we can deduce some clues."

"How did you come back? Did you use your time and space distortion technique again?" Wan Li sighed, "It won't work if you use it often, so why not choose normal physical methods?"

"I know too." Ruan Zhan frowned habitually, "But I'm afraid he won't be able to wait." He checked the aura of Bao Datong's body and saw that his condition was not too bad, so he felt a little relieved.

"Yes, you are the savior. Last time you sensed my danger and rushed back early. This time you sensed that he was in danger."

"Last time?"

"The time when Nana had an accident." Wan Li's voice dropped, but he immediately adjusted his emotions, "I was telling Xiaoxia about that incident just now, and she burst into tears and was even sadder than me. "

"You shouldn't tell her that, she will feel uncomfortable for a long time,"

"Maybe you are right." Wan Li thought for a while, "But there is too much sadness in this world. If you want her not to be corroded at all and to be happy around her, you must first keep your little one. Life matters.”

"You should know——"

"I know." Wan Li interrupted Ruan Zhan, "But you can't treat your fate so quietly, even for Xiaoxia. Aren't you jealous when you saw her in my arms just now?"
