Lao Zhang is dead.

At three o'clock in the morning, when I was looking for a taxi all over the world on the road, she suddenly suffered a massive hemorrhage and was immediately sent to the operating room for rescue.

At four o'clock in the morning, while I was running around for a strange woman's admission, she stopped breathing on the operating table.

During this time, her parents made countless phone calls to me and her boyfriend.

But Liu Jie's mobile phone has long been shut down, and my mobile phone has been stepped on by me.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to Lao Zhang's heartbroken parents, for a long time, I kept asking myself if I hadn't stepped on my phone at that time, I wouldn't have missed the call from Lao Zhang's parents at all. And if you call, you can try to save her from this desperate situation before she is finally killed.

Now, a strange woman has been saved from the destruction of my mobile phone, and my friend who is a sister has left me. Look, fate is really a very peculiar thing, it sits there like a high-level gamer on top of a seemingly completely unrelated source, looking at all living beings, carefully weaving and arranging a qiē. When the final result appears, you will understand that no matter how you run, no matter how you struggle, in fact, everyone has already been connected in a wooden rope circle, how to try to change the route of walking, walking, and finally will always be led to the ending it sets.

Then another question arises.

What is the so-called ending that fate has arranged for you?

I don't think anyone else will know that except when it actually reveals it to you. Therefore, no one can try to reverse their fate, including the very powerful, but still unable to avoid the fate of death, and has been imprisoned in the well of Hades for so many years.

Thinking about this, the fear of death seems to have lessened a bit, because I saw something else that was enough to look at death.

It has taken a lot of people around me in a dead way in just a few days, and I don't know when and how it will finally appear in front of me, but I don't think I can just sit back until I actually face it.

I had to approach it, understand it, try to fight it.

Because I don't want those people to die in vain, and I don't want them to leave without leaving a trace after they have finally hunted me down, and not at all to be alerted by the world.

So, after sitting alone for a long time, I got up and went back to the young man, and told him all the words that Lao Zhang had said to me when he woke up for the last time, and the couple I had seen later in Lao Zhang's hospital room.

He pondered for a moment, then said to me, "Have you ever heard of impermanence?" ”

I nodded: "Is it the kind that is specially designed to bring the souls of the dead to the underworld?"

"It can be said that unlike what you living people imagine, there is no such thing as impermanence in the underworld, but when mortals die, they will naturally go to the underworld through the Yellow Spring Road, but it is inevitable that sometimes there will be some special situations that will need to be solved in a special way, and the couple you see should appear in response to that special situation. ”

"So what the hell are they......"

"Some people are on the verge of death, but for some reason, such as a particularly strong desire to live, or all kinds of extreme ways of continuing life, so that their souls cannot leave the body when they should leave, and are forced to stay in place, forming a state of immortality, and after a long time, their souls will be completely trapped here, and if they are occupied and devoured by evil spirits who are intentionally used, they will inevitably be in endless trouble. So, the couple you saw earlier was here to hook such a spirit. ”

“...... Oh......"

This kind of ghost has no specific name, and most of them are people who die by accident, because the "field" generated by the moment of their death is closest to those who are dying and cannot die completely. Therefore, the person you want me to exorcise the ghosts for her, even if the ghosts on her body are driven away, they will not be able to save her, because she is already in a state of death, just because of the relationship between you, she has been delayed again for a while, and once you leave, it will be a matter of time before her soul is taken away. ”

"What do you mean...... By the time the couple appeared, she should have died......"

"That's right, it's a pity you're holding them back. On the surface, your friend will be able to prolong her life for a few hours, but in fact, you will add a few more hours of pain to her. So, you don't have to blame yourself for not getting a call from her parents in time, and even if you did, the outcome would still be the same. ”

“...... Can you read minds, Skeleton Man. I couldn't help but look at him for a moment when he said this, and then smiled at him reluctantly, turning his head away from his indifferent eyes, which made people slightly angry. "But I really don't know if you're comforting me or giving me a second blow. ”

"It's neither, I'm just in the position of a third person, and I'm going to interpret this qiē clearly and clearly to you, so that you don't get bothered by those delusions. ”

"Oh, delusional ......"

My hope for rescuing Lao Zhang was downplayed by him into two words, delusional.

But now, what can I say, so I leaned against the window in silence, looked at the scenery outside the hospital building for a while, then thought about it, turned back to him in the same silence and said: "At that time, I heard from my neighbors that a woman in our rented house had committed suicide, but we never took it seriously. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't lent my room to Lao Zhang to sleep in before leaving, she might not have been possessed by a ghost, and she wouldn't have ...... at all."

"Have you ever wondered why you have lived here for so long and nothing has happened to you, but on the day you came back from your hometown, she was possessed. He interrupted me and asked.

I was stunned by his question.

After a long silence, he glanced at me, and then said, "I have been watching you on the train the night you came back. ”

“...... Really?"

If you still remember that night, you should remember that you used your phone to send a text message to this friend of you. ”

“...... Yes, of course remember ......"

"That text message is a channel that runs through the distance between you and her, and thus transmits something attached to your phone to her. ”

"Is that thing that came out of Hades' Well with you and Sister Qiu Mei......

"The evil qi of that thing makes the original yin qi of your residence extremely strong, so it was originally subject to the barrier of the yin and yang boundary, no matter how heavy the resentment, it can only indirectly infringe on the people who live there from the spiritual side, such as making people sick and making people think of suicide. But after that night, their power was released in an instant, thus breaking the forbidden zone that had always separated life and death, maintaining the balance between the two, and thus ......"

"So not long after the text message with me, my friend was possessed......"

"Yes. ”

“...... So that's ......"

In the final analysis, it is still inextricably related to Hades Wangjing, which shows that I willfully did not listen to my aunt's words and threw away my mobile phone, which caused such a bad result. Originally, this qiē could have been avoided, so, in the final analysis, it was I who killed Lao Zhang.

Thinking of this, my legs went slightly weak, and I almost couldn't stand on my feet. I barely grasped the window frame to maintain my calm posture, and then through the reflection of the window glass, I saw the young man slowly pacing behind me, looking at me in the reflection of the glass and said, "But because of this, you got a chance, Beitang." ”

"What chance......" I looked at him hesitantly.

"I promised to help you exorcise the ghosts that possessed your friend's body, but now, obviously, I can't do it. So now you have a chance to make a wish for me, and I think I can do it for you, except for the things that change your life against the sky. ”

"For example......

"For example, you can ask me to get rid of the ghost that killed your friend for you, and you can avenge her. ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, "You're wrong, Skeleton Man, I was the one who really killed her." If I had listened to the advice of the old man in the village and threw away the mobile phone before I came back, Lao Zhang would not have been possessed at all, and he would not have died at all. ”

"In that case, within three years she would die of cancer and you would die by suicide. ”

A faint sentence made me look back at him suddenly: "What are you talking about......"

"I have long said that since I moved into that building, it is fate, and sooner or later it will be a dead end, and the difference is only to be directly killed by the ghosts in the building, or to be invaded into the bone marrow by the yin qi in the building and die. ”

"And you can't change my fate. ”

"Yes. ”

"And what the hell does your so-called opportunity mean to me??"

"Yes. He smiled and leaned over to me: "You can avenge your friend, and then wait for you to get off the Yellow Spring, at least you will have the face to face her." ”。
