Chapter 145: The Consequences of Integration
[There is a feast in the world, who are you separated from today, and who have you met again? Okay, let's get into today's Voice of the City, I'm the anchor Huahua, and our theme today is parting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoγ
Yuan Ruolan plugged her headphones to listen to the mobile phone broadcast, and next to her sat Zhu Xuanxi and Ouyang Zheng, who were under the foggy sky of Beijing, taking a taxi from the airport back to the city.
It's a city I've lived in for many years, and it's only been a few months since I've left, but now I feel like I'm in a different world, and I lack a sense of reality.
Earlier, Xuan Ming said goodbye to everyone, Wuyuanfang withdrew all the pursuit of Yuan Ruolan, Ju Yanchen had no reason to continue to stay, and followed Xuan Ming back. Xi Linchen wanted to take Qin Le away, she was not happy at first, but when she heard that Zhuo Zichen was missing, she couldn't wait to fly back with the teleportation spell seal immediately, and looked at Yuan Ruolan with big eyes.
Yuan Ruolan knew that if she asked her to send Wang Shoucheng back to Beijing with her, she would still go, but she didn't want to do it, after all, she was also a "heavy color and light friend" when she changed places.
In this way, the group divided into several groups and embarked on a new journey. Although the relationship may not be harmonious, and it is not necessarily pleasant to get along, it is still much better for a large group of people to do the same thing for different purposes than to go it alone. Yuan Ruolan has gradually become accustomed to it, or likes this kind of life. Now, if she were to return to her original peace, she would probably not be very happy.
There are still many puzzles in her mind that cannot be explained, such as what happened thirty years ago? For example, how did her parents die? Another example is the past of wishing Xuanxi, who is Xuanming going to be resurrected......
Since she has embarked on this "road of no return", she intends to keep going.

Most of the songs played on the radio are a little sad, and parting is always not so good.
[Some people say that meeting is fate, so when we want to separate, it is better to think about the excitement and enthusiasm when we first met, and then say "goodbye". It's not goodbye, it's goodbye. γ
The brisk prelude and rhythmic drum beat are the good sister's "Don't Say Goodbye", one of the few parting songs that makes people listen to the corners of their mouths slightly upturned.
Yuan Ruolan sat up straight, shook off the negative emotions, and stabbed Zhu Xuanxi beside her and asked in a low voice:
"Don't you think my dad is upset......"
From the time she proposed to send him back to Beijing, he was very abnormal, first refused, and then talked about Zhuo Zichen's disappearance, but she reluctantly agreed. Then he fidgeted all the way, just like now, he sat in the co-pilot's seat, looking out the window every two minutes on average, and changing his seat every five minutes on average, and the driver asked him if it was because the seat belt was uncomfortable, and he was still a little flustered, looking at him left and right.
"It's a little." Zhu Xuanxi also secretly observed for a long time, "Is he hiding something from us?" β
The two of them didn't speak loudly, and coupled with the whistling wind, the sound of the engine and the whistle, Wang Shoucheng did not realize that his actions had aroused suspicion. He was still immersed in unspeakable unease, even sweating profusely in temperatures of only a few degrees.
ββ
When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Wang Shoucheng hesitated, like there was some monster that would eat people.
"Dad?" Yuan Ruolan pulled him over and looked into his eyes, "You tell me the truth, is there something wrong?" β
"Nope! What can be ......?"
After speaking, he flashed sideways into the alley, his expression dodged, as if he was afraid of seeing someone, whenever an acquaintance passed by him, he subconsciously raised his arm in a defensive posture. But he forgot that there was a Yuan Ruolan behind him, she grew up in the alley, how could anyone not know her?
Walking to the commissary, Yuan Ruolan waved to Aunt Wang, who was selling things, she had always done this. Unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was very strange. She was stunned for a moment, and then as if she had seen a ghost, she pulled her little grandson and ran to the back room. After a while, he came out again and hurriedly closed the door.
It may be a coincidence that one person did this, but the second, third, and fourth after that all looked hurried when they saw Yuan Ruolan, either avoiding her or pointing at her and not knowing what they were talking about. She stepped forward several times to ask clearly, but the other party waved his hand and ran away.
Yuan Ruolan felt very bad, like she was carrying some virus.
Obviously it was fine when I came back last time, what the hell is going on......
"Hey!" She finally broke out and roared out. As a result, the others screamed louder than her, and some of them who had just left the house hurriedly retreated, not even planning to go to work.
"Them! They! Yuan Ruolan was so angry that she couldn't say a complete sentence, "What do you mean!" β
Zhu Xuanxi took an arrow step, covered her mouth, and whispered in her ear: "If you do this again, the people in the alley next door will be scared away by you." β
"Woo ~ Woo ~ Uh-huh~ Eh, eh, eh, ......"
I can't hear clearly, but I probably mean - I'm not a ghost, what are they afraid of......
"Shh Ouyang Zheng also persuaded him, "Go home first." β
Yuan Ruolan glared at Zhu Xuanxi and looked at Ouyang Zheng, Wang Shoucheng remained silent in front of her, she sighed secretly, opened the palm of her mouth, made a zipper posture, and turned her head and ran towards her courtyard.
ββ
Under the pumpkin rack, Yuan Ruolan poured a big gulp into her mouth.
"Are they sick?" She shouted, "Why don't I go out and get someone back, and get into his head and see!" β
That being said, she didn't get up from her chair, and she always made progress when she went out, and now she was just trying to be happy.
Wang Shoucheng still didn't speak, leaning quietly on the shelf, his brows furrowed. Yuan Ruolan had never seen him like this, and she was a little scared for a moment, so she could only rely on cold water to appease herself and suppress the fire in her heart.
"This is it!" "Don't be afraid, everyone!" "Go!"
Suddenly there was a noisy sound of people outside the door, followed by the sound of "ping-pong" slamming on the door.
Yuan Ruolan's eyes flashed with gray light, and she saw a group of people holding brooms, dustpans, and mops through the gate...... Others showed up at the door with rolling pins. There were almost twenty of them, some of them were familiar faces, some of them she hadn't seen before.
"Banshee, come out!"
Succubus? What the heck......
"Yes, come out! We have the master's charm, not afraid of you! β
It turned out that the yellow paper they were holding in their hands was actually a charm.
"If you don't come out, we'll break in!"
Yuan Ruolan suddenly realized that it seemed that she was what they called the "banshee", because she was the only one in the entire courtyard. The once amiable neighbor is now hideous and indignant. She never thought that the scene in "Strange Tales" would be staged in reality.
Monsters, heh, if I'm really a monster, I'm afraid none of you want to live today!
Zhu Xuanxi's ankle suddenly tingled, and the demonic energy sealed in it rejoiced, as if it was resonating with something.
Yuan Ruolan stood up abruptly, with a cold light in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
