Chapter XII
Looking at Ah Xia, who came as promised even though he was full of suspicion, Canghu smiled slightly, stepped forward and handed her the box in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Subconsciously took it, Ah Xia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and was about to ask what was going on when he heard Canghu speak seriously.
"It's what you're looking for."
A simple sentence made Axia's body shake, she looked at the wooden box in her hand in disbelief, and then looked up at Canghu and Liu Yuanhua, her lips trembled slightly: "Didn't you say that you couldn't accept my commission?" Why ......"
"Because the content of your commission conflicts with an ongoing one, if you accept it, it will be tantamount to breaking that contract, so I can only refuse, sorry."
After saying it to Ah Xia seriously, Canghu looked at her, and then silently raised his hand to cover the wooden box, and he didn't know what she did, Ah Xia felt the wooden box in his hand tremble slightly, and then a vague figure floated out of the box, gradually becoming clear.
He has big eyes, short ear-length hair, and a smile like sunshine on his face.
looked at the girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old in a daze, and after a while, Ah Xia finally made a sound.
"Finally...... Found you...... I can finally give you my name back......" Shaking and holding out her hand to the girl, Asha smiled, but her voice kept shaking, and she called out the name as if she were crying.
āā¦ā¦ Xiao Xia ......"
The subtle voice made the girl's smile brighter a little, and she reached out and gently took Asha's hand, as if she wanted to say something, but was attracted by the sudden sound.
Jingle bell, jingle bell -
The crisp bell slowly approached rhythmically, and at the same time mixed with the sound of iron chains, Canghu also turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw the two figures slowly approaching, she smiled slightly.
"It's finally here......"
The two men wore long robes and hats, the color was white and black, the man in white was thin, holding a filial piety staff in his hand, there was a copper bell at the top of the filial piety stick, and the crisp bell continued to sound as he walked forward.
Although one of them was smiling, his face was pale and his tongue was sticking out, while the other was fierce and vicious, with a calm face.
They don't have to introduce themselves, and no one mistakes them for who they are.
Xiao Xia and Ah Xia were a little at a loss, but Canghu calmly walked a few steps closer and gave an ancient greeting to the two: "It's been a long time." ā
Black and white impermanence nodded, which was considered a return gift.
Canghu stretched out his hand to the two of them, and in his palm there was a bead about the size of a little finger with black smoke on it, and said, "This is the 'evil rosary' that was stripped this time, and I bother you to run away." ā
Raising his hand to twist up the "evil rosary", the black impermanence voice was so low that it almost hummed: "How far is the 'monster'?" ā
"It's barely a 'D grade', it's not very serious."
Nodding, Hei Wuchang put away the "evil prayer bead", and Bai Wuchang looked at Xiao Xia.
"Little girl, it's time to go."
Hearing this, Xiao Xia looked at the black and white impermanence, turned his head to look at Ah Xia beside him, and then looked at Canghu, looking a little hesitant, seeing this, Canghu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Xiaoxia, they are here to pick you up, come with them." ā
The gentle voice has a calming power, Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment and let go of Ah Xia's hand and slowly walked towards Bai Wuchang, Ah Xia wanted to call her name, but she couldn't make a sound for a while, she could only watch anxiously, Xiao Xia stopped, looked back at her anxiously, and smiled shallowly.
"Thank you all the time."
The words of farewell made Ah Xia almost cry, she opened her mouth and finally made a sound: "Xiao Xia! I said that we will be together in the future! Don't just leave me and leave! ā
Stunned, Xiao Xia looked at her, and then at impermanence. Without her asking, he understood her thoughts, and Bai Wuchang nodded slightly.
With a look of joy on her face, Xiao Xia turned around and opened her arms.
"That'...... Come here! ā
Ah Xia trembled and stretched out her hand to Xiao Xia.
The girl's figure disappeared, and a half-sized golden retriever pounced into Natsu's arms, rubbing Natsu's cheek affectionately. Holding the most important friend in the world, the only friend, Xiao Xia giggled.
"Let's go together, puppy!"
"Wang!"
Shaking the soul bell, Bai Wuchang and Black Impermanence turned around together to lead the way, Xiao Xia followed and took two steps forward but stopped, she and the puppy looked at the fox staring at them, and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Sister Demon Master."
Canghu curled his eyes and smiled gently: "No." The two of them walked slowly. ā
"Hmm!"
"Wang!"
After smiling in response, Xiao Xia and the puppy sped up a few steps to catch up with Black and White Impermanence, and followed them away as they gradually moved away.
In early autumn, the midday sun was still blazing, and there were few pedestrians to be seen on the street, except for the sound of news coming from the TV in an unknown store.
"The serial disappearances that were abruptly suspended a month ago have been characterized as 'serial homicides' a few days ago, and the man who suddenly appeared in front of the police station claimed to have killed seven victims, and mentioned the existence of another victim, who was identified at the scene and confirmed that he was the suspect in this case, and due to the man's poor mental condition, the case will be tried in three days."
This was followed by a brief introduction to the suspect.
"Tan Jiu, male, 38 years old, an employee of a company, was fired a month and a half ago for a major mistake, and had previously ......"
This news quickly caused an uproar in the city, but Canghu turned a deaf ear to it, she just tossed and turned in front of the untreated garbage heaps with a big sun, Liu Yuanhua stood not far away and watched her, looking at the TV across the street with some boredom, and he finally spoke.
"Speaking of which, how did those 'ghosts' come to be? Not that 'Asha'...... That puppy's abilities, right? ā
"Well...... have you ever heard of 'Pyrene Stone'?"
"'Pyrene stone'?" Liu Yuanhua thought for a moment, "The kind of stone that can gradually turn 'unreal' into 'reality'?" ā
"Yes, that's it. If it was Ah Xia's own ability, it would be impossible for others not to encounter the 'ghost', and the fact is that only Ah Jiu would encounter it, then it could only be because of the 'Pyrene Stone'. ā
"So, there's a 'pyrene stone' in that house?"
Canghu nodded: "'Pyrene stone' can be driven by 'fear', but it is only affected by creatures that have been within its influence for a long time, and it will only form the kind of 'illusion' we see in a short period of time, and it is impossible to really become 'reality' for hundreds of years." After a pause, she looked back at Liu Yuanhua, "I said Yuanhua, haven't you been aware of the existence of 'Pyrene Stone'?" ā
Liu Yuanhua frowned: "I don't even know what that thing looks like, how can I detect its existence?" ā
"But, I'm clearly in the contract!"
"Huh?"
At this moment, a stone fell from the sky and smashed on Liu Yuanhua's head, he grabbed it, squinted his eyes a little angrily, but the fox stretched out his arm into the air, as if to greet something.
"Welcome back, Yan, it's hard for you to get the 'pyrene stone'."
Only then did he realize what was smashed on his head, and Liu Yuanhua looked down.
It was a palm-sized purple stone, crystal clear and shining in the sun, exactly like the amethyst on the chandelier in the room.
Squinting her eyes, Liu Yuanhua threw it at Canghu, she caught it in a hurry, and then the contract signed with Ah Jiu appeared in her hand, and after watching the glimmer of light, the paper turned into ashes and disappeared, Canghu exhaled: "The reward is also in hand, this contract is completed." ā
Finally knowing what Canghu meant by "written in the contract", Liu Yuanhua looked at her with both hands in her pockets and continued to look down for something when she put away the pyrene stone casually, thought about it and said, "Does the puppy know that there is this thing on the chandelier?" ā
"Most of you don't know, after all, you don't even recognize you. Ah Xia, she, she was just looking for an excuse to invite everyone to go to that house so that she could take the opportunity to find Xiao Xia's remains, and she didn't think too much about the rest. ā
"But she knew that the man was hiding in the room, so she wasn't afraid that those girls would be hurt?"
The movement paused slightly, and Canghu smiled.
"Always pick on single women who are thinner than himself, do you think he dares to do it to a few girls?"
Recalling the look of fear when Ah Jiu looked at him, Liu Yuanhua narrowed his eyes.
"Hmph, bastard."
Canghu didn't talk again, Liu Yuanhua didn't speak again, he just stood in the shade of the tree and quietly watched Canghu rummaging, until Canghu said "ah".
"Found it."
Picking up the object that was almost invisible, she didn't seem to smell the strong rancid smell, she didn't even frown, just gently put the small bones into the box next to her, and picked up the box on the other side, and then Canghu walked a long way with Liu Yuanhua, and finally buried the two bones seriously on a pleasant mountain, and then put down two beautiful white chrysanthemums in front of the tomb.
"Next time, it'll be good friends......"
Looking at the small grave bag, a gentle smile bloomed on the fox's face.
After waiting for a while, Liu Yuanhua spoke: "It's almost time to go, right?" ā
In response, Canghu stood up, took out the pyrene stone that had been placed in his pocket at random before, looked at it, and took a deep look at the city in the distance, and a solemn look flashed under her eyes.
As soon as the palm of his hand turned over the stone, he disappeared without a trace, and the fox who turned to walk towards Liu Yuanhua already had a gentle smile on his face, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.
"Next...... Where are we going? Looking at Liu Yuanhua, who was waiting for her, she looked at the air beside her again, her eyes soft.
āā¦ā¦ We're 'squay'. ā
