The Exorcist

Xiao Xia woke up.

Another nightmare, torment her again!

She was in a cold sweat and wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed to get a glass of water. But she didn't dare to leave the bed, at least the warmth made her feel a little safe. The fluorescent meter on the bedside table showed the time at 2:40. The faint light of the hands and the ticking sound made people feel as if something was approaching the bedside.

This made Xiao Xia buried deeper in the bed, and finally the whole person shrank in, and couldn't hear anything except her own heartbeat.

She shouldn't have rented this shady little house for cheap, where the sun can't even shine. It was nothing before, but she couldn't sleep peacefully after taking this case recently. Maybe she should get married or find a boyfriend to live with so she won't be so scared. Although it was just a nightmare, the real feeling was not something that a cowardly person like her could bear.

How about thousands of miles? But they were all too familiar, and the thought of lying in bed with such a person gave me goosebumps because of the embarrassment. No, no, I have to change someone. Or - Ruan Zhan?

Ruan Zhan's name shocked Xiao Xia, even more than the nightmare.

Why do you think of him? She had only met this man a few hours ago and was not impressed. Is it because you have only seen it before, so there is residual consciousness? It must be so!

But can he really be psychic?

Wan Li wouldn't lie to her, but she really didn't realize that he had this ability. Her intuition has always been accurate, and there is no reason to be wrong this time. But what if it's wrong? What if he could really be psychic? Then he can't help her!

Why didn't you say a word to him when you found it?

I am always like this, always give up halfway when things happen. If you talk to Ruan Zhan, he can help her if he can be psychic, and he can't and won't let her lose anything. It's better than having nowhere to ask for help after the nightmare.

She really has no choice. She has already done burning incense and worshipping Buddha, but the Buddha must be very busy, so she can't care about her. She'd have to think of something else, or she'd have a nervous breakdown, and she'd probably hang before the case was over or the director came back and turned it around.

Otherwise, look for Wanli tomorrow to see if it is a psychological problem. If it doesn't work, try to find Ruan Zhan again. Although it's not very reliable, anyway - the dead horse should be regarded as a living horse doctor!

The next day, Xiao Xia did not find Wan Li. It even made her think he was avoiding her, but then she remembered that every Tuesday was the day when Wan Li performed his duty as a guest professor. So she had to skip work and went to the 'Yeguiren' bar by herself.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived, and she saw Ruan Zhan opening the store door from a distance. His skin was the color of healthy wheat, not at all the morbid pallor of a nocturnal animal.

"Can I go in now?" Xiao Xia asked, standing three meters away from Ruan Zhan.

"I just opened the door, and it's not officially open yet - but - okay." Ruan Zhan made a gesture of invitation, frowning almost invisible. He recognized this woman as a stranger who came last night, but why didn't she say a word to him yesterday, but came here so early today? Hope she didn't come to pester him or make trouble.

Xiao Xia walked into the bar, and the store was empty because no one was there. And because the glass in this store is all that kind of art glass, the afternoon sun can't shine inside at all, the whole space is dark and dark, and there is a huge gossip-shaped decoration made of transparent pipes on the wall facing it. She didn't see that last night, probably because of the lighting, but now it's pitch-dark but can see clearly.

It took a long time for Ruan Zhan to follow up, but Xiao Xia didn't feel nervous and nervous when she was alone in a closed open space, which made her feel that maybe her judgment yesterday was too hasty.

"Where's your buddy?"

"They're work-study college students, and if you're looking for them, it's after 4pm."

"No, I'm not looking for them. But you guys seem to close in the middle of the night, will this affect their studies——" Xiao Xia suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, I'm asking questions, it's a professional habit, it's really annoying !" Seeing that Ruan Zhan had already walked to the bar, she went there to find a seat and sat down, "My surname is Yue, Yue Xiaoxia, a lawyer at Changkong Law Firm."

Ruan Zhan was stunned for a moment. "I didn't get in trouble, did I?"

"No, it's not like that." Xiao Xia shook her head hurriedly, "That's just my profession, I'm here today has nothing to do with my profession. I'm - I'm - I'm looking for you, I have something to do. Can you?"

"Of course. But what would you like to drink first, Miss Yue?"

"What do you usually drink at this time?"

"It's early to drink, and most people drink coffee."

"I don't like coffee, bitter! Give me soda, orange, or mineral water."

Ruan Zhan didn't speak, just smiled, and then handed her a glass of orange soda. This woman, with the taste of a child, is easy to deal with.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"That—that Wanli, do you know? He said that you are good friends, so—that's why he asked me to come to you." Xiao Xia hesitated, embarrassed to make a request to a stranger. It was all to blame for Wan Li's eccentric refusal to accompany her, so that she had to face these embarrassments alone, and now she had no choice but to say it directly. "I'm in trouble and he said you have the 'ability' to help me."

When Ruan Zhan heard Wanli's name, he knew something was wrong, he was in big trouble!

Wan Li has been with his friends for many years, and he is the only person in the world who knows his secrets, but he has never revealed anything about him. But this time, although Wan Lijie knew better than anyone how much he didn't like to mention his "ability", and even less like to use it, why did he send people to seek his help? Who is this female lawyer named Yue Xiaoxia from Wanli who can make him betray his oath? Or something happened to her that couldn't be fixed? What does this have to do with the weak yang fire on her body?

"I'm very happy to be able to help Miss Yue, but I'm afraid I'll be powerless." Ruan Zhan had countless thoughts in his heart, but he still had a harmless smile on his face, "Why don't you talk about the trouble first? , to see if I can help."

Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment, and then told Ruan Zhan about the inexplicable nightmares, strange hallucinations and feelings she had experienced since taking over the case. She looked at his face, expecting to get a piece of information, but he was expressionless at all, his eyes were like deep black pools, as if anything you threw in it would disappear without a trace, leaving no trace.

"Have I hit the devil?" she asked.

"Bumping evil?" Ruan Zhan smiled in disbelief, "Miss Yue is a lawyer, so she should be calm and logical, and won't believe these nonsense, right? In my opinion, it may be because of too much pressure, and she has accepted some passive attitudes. Psychological suggestion. I'm not a professional psychiatrist like Wan Li, but I think you should not think too much, stay away from this matter, relax a bit and you'll be fine."

"If only I could, but unfortunately I can't let go now."

"Then - I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Ruan Zhan said in a regretful tone, "You are Wanli's friend, that is, my friend. I really hope you can do something, but unfortunately I really can't."

"You don't want to help me!" Xiao Xia rushed out.

"No, I'd love to, I wish I could! But--I don't know how Wan Li told you, maybe he's exaggerating too much. I usually just read some books on Feng Shui, Zhou Yi, etc. Hobby, no special ability at all, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Can't you really help?"

"I'm very sorry."

"Please help me!" Xiao Xia begged. In fact, with her impetuous temper, she should have turned her head and left. What's more, the more she talked to him, the more intuitively she felt that what Wan Li said was not wrong. He must have a solution, but he just refused to help. She shouldn't say a word to this kind of unloving person, but the so-called "situation is stronger than cong", she has to keep a low voice.

"sorry."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be innocent, Xiao Xia knew that it was useless to say anything.

"Well, if I haven't been here before. Goodbye." She walked out angrily, deliberately not giving Ruan Zhan soda money. I wanted to know that drinking his most expensive bottle of wine would make up for the mental loss and material loss. It's really unwilling to think about this kind of person who won't let him have some blood.

Ruan Zhan watched Xiao Xia leave without any guilt in his heart. This young lady has provoked evil, and it is her luck whether she can break it or not, so what has it to do with him? His first rule in life is to never mind anyone's own business, just be quiet and be alone.

As for Wan Li, the bastard who betrayed his friends, he didn't care. I believe he will be sent to the door to explain.
