The Exorcist

"Weird?" Ruan Zhan frowned, "He made you nervous?"

"I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable when I hear about such a person." Xiao Xia was inexplicably a little uneasy, "You know women have a keener sixth sense, I'm afraid he is one of the Taoist priests, monks, Onmyoji, this will expose you, so be careful!"

"You think he's come to catch me?"

"Isn't this obvious? Apart from the police, only Zhang Xue's father is making great efforts to track down the 'evil warlock'. I don't want you to be found out. I heard that Zhang Xue's father is eager for revenge and has issued a 'jianghu pursuit order' , if you are caught, don't try to go through the judicial process, I have no chance to defend you, your life is definitely over!"

"You also said that Ni Yang watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwan police dramas!" Ruan Zhan laughed, with a strange expectation in his heart, "Are you afraid that something will happen to me?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have a free 'mage' to use!"

"I know you are snobbish!"

Xiaoxia smiled, "I'm just kidding, you really mean it. I have many girlfriends, and the only male friends are you and Wanli. If something happens to you, I will lose 50% for no reason. Such a high I can’t bear the ratio of the ratio, and I feel unlucky when I think about it! Therefore, we must be careful. Have you heard of it——Zhuge is only cautious in his life, and he can travel ten thousand years with caution. There is nothing wrong with being careful. Are you more careful than Zhuge? Kong Ming is still smart?"

"Well, anyway, I didn't show any clues before. You can act on your own in the future, and you don't have to worry about my affairs."

"It's a beautiful idea. If you say you can help me with this matter, you will help me to the end." Xiao Xia knew that Ruan Zhan was just talking, but she still reminded her seriously, "I am worried about your safety, but you want me to face it alone. I don’t have any sense of friendliness towards vicious evil spirits!”

"Then what do you say to do?"

"Of course there is a solution. You think, I am the legal representative of the school now, and no one will suspect me when I walk around the school, and then I say this case is terrible, I want my 'boyfriend' to come with me Go and go, who can say anything."

"I am very honored."

"Everyone is for work." Xiao Xia said solemnly: "At least pretend until this matter subsides."

She glanced at a few women not far away. They seemed to be drinking and chatting, but they were actually paying attention to her and Ruan Zhan. They were standing on the stairs talking now, just in time to see each other from the bar. She knew that the situation was a bit sneaky, but she didn't dare to call Ruan Zhan upstairs for a secret talk, as that would provide many people with colorful and rich imaginations.

Human beings are social animals after all, so the impact should also be considered. The so-called people's words are terrible!

"You said that we should go and see it now, doesn't it seem a little weird? And this time should be the time when it is the most powerful?"

"Tomorrow! You should find Tao Xiaochun's first—the entity is better. And you need to make some foreshadowing in advance. Isn't it strange that a legal representative goes to an old garage instead of doing legal affairs?" Ruan Zhan thought for a while, "Well, anyway, everyone knows that you and Liu Tie are very familiar, so they said that he offered his motorcycle to you as a gift. As your 'boyfriend', of course I went with you."

"It's not good." Xiao Xia objected, "First of all, I don't want to involve Liu Tie in this matter. I just asked him to promise not to go to the garage for a few days. Besides, the most important thing is that both Liu Tie and I will be with you. It has something to do with it, on the surface it seems to be just a coincidence, but I'm afraid that someone with a heart will find some omissions from here, which will be detrimental to you."

"If someone with a heart wants to find out our connection, there are too many clues that can be involved, so don't care about this." Ruan Zhan said, her heart is warmed by her concern for him, at least she is better than the one who has been doing it for more than 20 years. Friends are still strong. "It's a blessing, not a curse. A disaster can't be avoided. Besides, we don't have anything to fall into the hands of others. It's right to be careful, but—with me here, don't be afraid!"

"Do you want me to talk to Liu Tie?"

"I'll tell you, you go upstairs first."

Xiao Xia nodded, and went upstairs to Ruan Zhan's bedroom, which now belonged to her.

Ruan Zhan's store has a very good location, where bars and office buildings gather. After nightfall, the front of the gate is very lively, but the back is very quiet. Moreover, his bar is not the noisy type, and he has done a good job of soundproofing the second floor, so the bedroom basically seems to be isolated, very quiet and comfortable. After changing her clothes, Xiao Xia lay comfortably on the bed, turned off the light and plunged herself into the darkness, thinking about that strange person vaguely in her mind, until her consciousness became more and more drowsy, and she gradually fell asleep.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!

In the silent night, there was suddenly a crisp knock on the window.

Xiao Xia woke up instantly, staring straight at the dark roof. Someone knock on the window? But this is the second floor of the bar, and because the weather is a bit hot, the windows are wide open.

She held her breath for a while, and there was no sound.

It must be a dream, she thought, relaxing. But just when she was about to turn over and continue to sleep, a woman's trembling laughter sounded again, so clear that it seemed to be lying next to her ears.

whee--

"Who is it?" she exclaimed.

"Yue-Xiao-Xia, Yue-Xiao-Xia, Yue-Xiao-Xia!"

Subconsciously, Xiao Xia almost responded, but for some reason, she suddenly remembered the story of the deserted house that Wan Li told, she hurriedly fell silent, jumped out of bed and turned on the bedside lamp.

There were only her and her shadow in the room, and intermittent strange noises came from the window.

There was no wind, and the curtains were not moving. Xiao Xia tiptoed over and stopped by the window, hesitating whether to open the curtains and take a look. Maybe it was a hallucination caused by my recent neurasthenia? Or a half-dream illusion? If you don't figure it out, go to Ruan Zhan, isn't it too dependent on others?

"There you are!" said a woman behind the curtain suddenly.

Xiao Xia took a step back in fright, and at this moment, the night wind blew the curtains, and three bloody faces, motionless and half-smiling, loomed before Xiao Xia's eyes, hanging upside down in the air one meter away from the window!

They seem to be unable to go beyond the window lattice, but they stubbornly stay outside the window. No matter from what angle, Xiao Xia can see their eerie existence through the gaps in the fluttering curtains.

She jumped up and ran downstairs as if fleeing.

"Ruan Zhan! Ruan Zhan! There is a ghost! There is—"

Her yelling made everyone in the bar look up at the stairs, and the attention of everyone stopped her yelling, and she froze on the spot, looking at Ruan Zhan for help.

"Miss Yue, are you watching ghost movies online again? Don't watch that if you are timid!" Ruan Zhan looked at her pale face and calmly resolved the accident, "Don't dare to turn off the computer? Well, I will help you. "

Xiao Xia vaguely agreed, and pulled up her pajamas uneasily. Fortunately, the style is conservative.

"Sister Xiaoxia, what kind of ghost movie, send it to me someday, I'm not afraid." Ni Yang said without hesitation.

Ruan Zhan, who had just walked to Xiao Xia's side, turned his head, and Ni Yang immediately fell silent. Xiao Xia discovered Ruan Zhan's invisible majesty for the first time.

"Where did the ghost come from in this world?" He lied calmly, "Even if there is, haven't you heard of 'Silent words, strange powers and chaotic spirits'? Boy, I have frightened so many lovely ladies, I only ask you!"

Ni Yang waved his hands hurriedly, "How dare I! These sisters and sisters are my food and clothing parents, and it's too late for me to provide for them!" He made a grimace, and his lively and playful expression immediately relaxed the atmosphere of the scene, and Xiao Xia yelled again. There is a pre-ghost situation. But his grimace made Xiao Xia, who had just been frightened, tremble, and Ruan Zhan squeezed her cold little hand tightly, conveying warmth and stability to her.

"You don't have to go up."

"No, I'll go. It seems to be those three female ghosts. If possible, I would like to communicate with them. It's not a solution for them to keep staring at me like this." Xiao Xia gritted her teeth and felt a little 'anger is better than fear' .

"It's up to you." He pulled her upstairs, "I doubt it will work."

"What I'm afraid of is that they will run away when they see you, maybe they have already run away now."

Sure enough, Xiao Xia guessed right again.

Ruan Zhan walked to the window and felt the ghost aura that had not dissipated. It can be seen that there were indeed three female ghosts here and they left not long ago, and it was not Xiaoxia who was suspicious. He frowned, knowing that this would be troublesome. Because his house has been "specially treated", not only ghosts can't enter, but even getting close has to pay a price, but they take the risk to entangle Xiao Xia, which shows the depth of hatred. That is to say, even if the Bloody Mary incident ends perfectly, they will never stop resenting Xiaoxia for rescuing Tao Xiaochun's soul from the hands of evil spirits. As long as Xiaoxia leaves his protection range, he may be violated or even die.

If this problem is not completely resolved, Xiao Xia will always follow her because of uncertain fear, so the decision to keep a distance from her cannot be carried out, so her matter has become his matter once again 'inevitably'!

Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Xia hurriedly asked, "You don't want to ignore me, do you?"

"This is thanks to Tao Xiaochun's grandparents, you shouldn't get involved in this mess."

"What you see, it's not that I want to get involved. There are always various factors that push me into this blind spot unknowingly. Is this also considered God's will?"

"I don't know, it depends on whether you accept it or endure it."

"I'm forced to accept it, and I'm enduring it." Xiao Xia was very reluctant, "I still have to find a way to solve it."

"There are only two ways. One is to dissolve their resentment, but believe me, it is very difficult; the other is to chop them to pieces with a blood-wood sword."

"You don't need to be so ruthless! After all, they are also victims."

"There is no third way." Ruan Zhan said coldly.

Xiao Xia Yu knot.

Every time when it comes to solving problems, Ruan Zhan always seems like a person without emotion. In fact, since they met, she found that he treats her hot and cold, indifferent, and people can't figure it out. Just like in this matter, he gently took her hand to comfort her, and then forced her to make a choice in the blink of an eye, completely ignoring her frightened and intolerable state of mind.

"I'll choose the first one." She couldn't bear to let the three female ghosts who went astray end up in a more miserable end, and she had to try whether she could resolve her resentment, and this decision also contained the willful meaning of being angry with Ruan Zhan .

Ruan Zhan was not surprised by this.

He walked to the bookshelf, took down the pony in the middle of the three cartoon candles, crushed the sealing wax outside, and revealed a metal flag with red rust and black dots.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Xiao Xia, who had seen the Bloodwood Sword in Candle Rabbit, approached curiously.

"The Fragmented Banner." He said briefly, cut his finger with the sharp edge of the flag, then silently recited the long-lost incantation, and flicked a drop of blood into the air, watching the blood drop disappear out of thin air.

"Then what kind of great Taoism is this?"

Ruan Zhan did not answer.

Taoism? witchcraft? He couldn't tell. He didn't understand why his father forced him to learn these things back then, even though his father also knew that those were taboo secret arts and should not be passed down! Is it just because he is born with a powerful power that he hates, or does it mean something else?

It was a mystery to him too.

At this time, an unusual wind blew and the curtains rattled.
