Chapter 25:

The next day, Yunjing's morning class had just ended, and the teacher had not yet walked out of the classroom, and many female students in the class were in a commotion, looking out of the window one by one, passing the news from ear to ear.

"Why did he come here at this time?"

"No one in our class knows him, right, who is he looking for?"

"Isn't there a basketball bench to be announced today, he should be very unavailable now, in order to prepare for this basketball game, the school attaches great importance to it."

"Who is Xiang Xiaocao, the most anticipated basketball star of this year, not only our school basketball team is optimistic about him, other schools regard him as a strong rival, because he is a freshman in high school, he has to make way for those who are sophomores and juniors, especially to give opportunities to students in the third year of high school, so now he can only be a substitute, otherwise it is absolutely no problem to be an official player in school basketball with his strength."

"So who is he looking for now?"

Everyone was puzzled, Xiang Zizhuo waited outside the door for the teacher to leave, and then walked in and went straight to the Yunjing table: "I have something to look for you." ”

The attention of the whole class stayed on Yunjing and Xiang Zizhuo, and they couldn't understand when these two people suddenly intersected.

Yunjing looked at the look on Xiang Zizhuo's face, nodded calmly, sorted out the book, and then followed Xiang Zizhuo out of the classroom with the dream demon.

As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, Xiang Zizhuo couldn't hold back: "Do you and Li Jianbei have something to hide from me?" ”

Yunjing raised his eyebrows to look at him, but did not say anything.

Xiang Zizhuo saw that Yunjing didn't answer him immediately, and suddenly became a little anxious, his personality has always been impulsive, this time because of Li Jianbei's affairs, he held back for several days, and the whole person was irritable, and he hesitated for a long time to find Yunjing today, and finally made up his mind.

After all, it's not a good thing for anyone to turn around and hide something from themselves, and run to be with another person with whom they once had a grudge.

Xiang Zizhuo said: "Don't pretend, Li Jianbei went to look for you in the middle of the night a few days ago, and I quarreled with him that day, you came out of the dormitory, I saw it." ”

"So?"

Xiang Zizhuo looked at Yunjing's calm appearance, and suddenly became angry: "So? You're still asking me so?! announced the substitute today, there is no place for him, originally with his ability, he is absolutely nine out of ten, although Li Jianbei looks inconspicuous at first glance, and he is not the most limelight person on the court, but he plays very steadily! He has good physique, strong stamina, good mentality, steady hands, and high head, as long as this kind of person continues to be cultivated, he is definitely an excellent player! His grades are average, his family background is not very good, and he is still a foreigner, as long as he plays with me, I have the confidence to pass the test with him. He may not have achieved anything else, but on the basketball court, he will be the king sooner or later!

This is the most suitable path for him, and he also agreed to work hard with me, but in the past few days, he was suddenly injured inexplicably, and he didn't go to treatment, his ball skills became worse and worse, he didn't like to take a bath or eat every day, and even his sleep time was messy, I sometimes woke up in the middle of the night and saw him with his eyes open, I don't understand how he became like this, it's all messy, where did that Li Jianbei go before! ”

After roaring, Xiang Zizhuo suddenly realized his gaffe, especially in the contrast of Yunjing's coldness, he was more like a child who lost his temper.

Xiang Zizhuo hurriedly turned his head sideways, tried to hide the expression on his face, endured it for a long time, and finally tried to lower his voice, and said with restraint: "What is the situation of Li Jianbei, you should know very well, if you are really for his good, persuade him to quickly collect his heart and play hard, I will help him fight again, as long as he is willing to change back to Li Jianbei, who played seriously before, I can forgive him for his mistakes for a while, otherwise his previous efforts will be wasted, and it is he who regrets it!" ”

Xiang Zizhuo said, trying his best to hide his concern for Li Jianbei.

"What if he refuses?" Cloudview Road.

Xiang Zizhuo turned his head sharply to stare at Yunjing, his eyes were like a beast: "Why don't you refuse?" What the hell are you secretly planning?! ”

"If you really treat him as a friend and really understand him with your heart, you should see his abnormality, and you should be able to guess it." Yun Jingdao, his eyes staring at Xiang Zizhuo, "If you really care about him, you should find out for yourself, not ask me." ”

After saying that, Yunjing turned to leave, while sighing in his heart.

He is not a keen person emotionally, but the affairs of Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei are clear to the onlookers, even if Xiang Zizhuo does not mean that to Li Jianbei, but his concern for Li Jianbei is definitely far more than ordinary friendship.

Xiang Zizhuo looked at Yunjing's back and walked away in a daze, and after a long time, he took a sip of spring, as if he had made up his mind.

At night, Yunjing suddenly received a text message from an unfamiliar mobile phone, clicked on it and saw that it was sent by Li Jianbei: Are you free? Can you do me a favor? I'll be waiting for you downstairs in my dorm.

Yunjing thought of Li Jianbei's words yesterday, and got up and hugged the dream demon downstairs.

Sheng Guan was already asleep, the iron door at the gate was locked, Yun Jing walked to the door gently, his eyes stared at the door lock for a few seconds, the door lock automatically opened under the urging of his spiritual power, Yun Jing raised his hand to open the door and walked out.

It was already the middle of the night, and the whole campus was quiet without a sound, and the surrounding trees were reflected in the moonlight, reflecting shadows on the school corridors, like all kinds of hideous people trapped in the trees and unable to escape from the cage.

Yunjing glanced up and saw that the crescent moon tonight was a little red and tinged with an unsettling color.

After leaving the dormitory, he had just walked out less than ten meters, and Yunjing saw a shadow standing there under the tree not far away, and walked in to take a look, Li Jianbei's stiff face appeared in front of Yunjing's eyes under the miserable white moonlight, and on his right face, there was already a corpse spot that could not be covered.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble you again......" Li Jianbei said guiltily, compared with before, now he is not only stiff, but even his pronunciation has become a little weird, his vocal cords seem to have been squeezed, and every word is very difficult to say.

"Are you leaving tonight?"

Li Jianbei nodded, pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a hideous and stiff smile: "Zizhuo was selected, he is a very responsible person, since there is a place for him in this competition, he will definitely go all out, with his strength, I believe that this competition will definitely attract attention, as long as he can play well, I will go at ease." ”

"You didn't tell him you were leaving, did you?"

"No, saying it will only make him more sad, it's better to leave suddenly, as a pure accident, he doesn't know his obsession with him, and when he forgets me in the future, he will forget some ......" Li Jianbei said a little gloomily, looking up at Yunjing, "This school has left me with a lot of good memories, whether it is teachers or classmates, they are very good to me, I can't die in school, dead people are unlucky, not to mention that after I die, the appearance must be ugly, It may bring some unnecessary trouble to the school, I want to find a place to go quietly, but I have to pretend to be an accident, otherwise no one will know if I die, Zizhuo will go to my ......

With my current physical condition, I can't go far, I'm afraid I can't support it before I get to the school gate, I'm afraid that if I fall halfway, I will be scared to death if I am found the next day, so I want to ask you to send me out, and take a ride with me to an abandoned construction site nearby, and then I get out of the car alone, pretending to be stoned to death by a heavy object, and then I will be smashed beyond recognition, even if I am discovered, at least the ordinary people will not be able to find my abnormality at the first time, and then even if the forensic doctor verifies the time of my death, When I found out that I was still at school the day before, it would at best become an unsolved mystery in the police station, and it would not bother the masses. ”

Yun Jing felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him arrange the funeral for himself like this, he remembered that Li Jianbei had mentioned his family, and couldn't help asking, "What about your family?" Do they know where you are? ”

"I've already explained it in advance, they have accepted the news that I'm leaving, all the qiē is settled, and I can leave without worry." Li Jianbei said with a smile, the aura on his body was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, so the appearance of the corpse being corrupted was getting faster and faster, when Yunjing saw him just now, he only had corpse spots on his cheeks, which had spread to his neck at this moment.

Li Jianbei also found that his body was decomposing faster and faster, so he hurriedly took out the iron box from his pocket, and carefully took out the blood talismans, seven of which were handed to Yun Jing, and one was left in his hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to put this on Zizhuo's table, but I was worried that he was too careless to see it, in case he couldn't recognize what I left for him, it would be a pity to throw it away, Yun Jing, can I help transfer this to him?" ”

"No one has ever wanted your blood talisman, with these things to back it up, you can obviously live a few more days."

"It's just one more day or two, and the wish has been fulfilled, so there is no need to stay any longer, otherwise it will harm others and yourself." Li Jianbei smiled bitterly, "My grandfather did leave my father twenty blood talismans, but because I was naughty when I was a child, I accidentally tore up one of them, I was afraid of being punished by my grandfather and father, so I used the little skills I just learned to secretly draw one by myself, I didn't expect to succeed in the first painting, my grandfather later learned about it, he was very happy, and sighed again and again that my talent is rare in the world, but unfortunately I was ignorant at that time, and regarded my grandfather as an old madman, and refused to listen to him. Until his disappearance, my grandfather blamed himself for not teaching this skill. However, as I gradually grew up, this ability was slowly abandoned without grasping the cultivation, and this blood talisman was the first and only time I drew it in my life......"

Yun Jing looked at the blood talisman in Li Jianbei's hand, and finally understood why he had been so deliberately saving in the past two days.

Li Jianbei had ten blood talismans left in his hand, seven of which were intended to be left for Yunjing, and one chapter was intended to be reserved for Xiang Zizhuo, so in the past three days, he could only save using two blood talismans, and would rather be uncomfortable and rot in advance than use one more.

Even if Yunjing is used to seeing life and death, looking at Li Jianbei at this moment, his heart is not very comfortable, he nodded, and just took the seven talismans from Li Jianbei's hand, suddenly Yunjing's eyes froze, not far behind Li Jianbei, a figure walked out of the shadows of the bushes, and walked behind Li Jianbei step by step.

Li Jianbei's body began to decompose, and his five senses gradually declined, he didn't hear the footsteps behind him at all, seeing Yunjing suddenly stop, Li Jianbei glanced at Yunjing with some confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

Yunjing looked at Li Jianbei: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that you will have to give away that blood talisman yourself." ”

"Huh?" Li Jianbei was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, Xiang Zizhuo behind him suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him forward.

Li Jianbei didn't expect Xiang Zizhuo to hide behind him, and he was suddenly shocked, he instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand to cover his face full of corpse spots, but one hand was grabbed by Xiang Zizhuo, and the other hand couldn't cover the large corpse spots on his face and neck, and Xiang Zizhuo was still holding his right hand, and suddenly the right half of his face was exposed to Xiang Zizhuo's eyes, Li Jianbei suddenly panicked, and the whole person stuttered: "Zi, Zizhuo...... How did you get here......"

When he came out, he deliberately confirmed that Xiang Zizhuo was sleeping deeply, and deliberately stood by the bed to look at Xiang Zizhuo a few more times, and then secretly went downstairs to find Yunjing, who would have thought that Xiang Zizhuo, who would never wake up in the middle of the night, would suddenly appear at this time!

Xiang Zizhuo pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time.

He grew up from a small group of stars and moons, and developed a violent and impulsive temper, once he encountered something unpleasant, he basically couldn't help but vent it immediately, but this time he didn't want to yell at Li Jianbei at all.

He only felt very uncomfortable, and the whole person who was uncomfortable was sullen, and he didn't want to say a word.

Xiang Zizhuo does not have the habit of waking up in the middle of the night, every day basketball training is as tired as a dead dog, he goes back to the bedroom and falls asleep, and sleeps until dawn, but these days Li Jianbei is too abnormal, Xiang Zizhuo is worried about Li Jianbei's situation, and he sleeps at night unconsciously affected, and after a few days, Li Jianbei has some small movements in the middle of the night, and Xiang Zizhuo can find it as soon as possible.

After talking to Yunjing during the day, Xiang Zizhuo decided that if Li Jianbei got up in the middle of the night to leave the dormitory tonight, he must follow.

In order to keep an eye on Li Jianbei, Xiang Zizhuo closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep, and Li Jianbei did not hide from him every move he made.

He knew that Li Jianbei secretly got up and stared at him at his bedside for a long time before leaving.

After Li Jianbei left, Xiang Zizhuo immediately got up and quietly followed.

In order to protect the safety of students, the iron door in front of the dormitory door is locked, and if you want to open it, only the student management has a key.

When Li Jianbei set off, he hadn't sent a text message to inform Yunjing, he didn't have Yunjing's mental power and spiritual power, so in desperation, he could only choose to jump from the second floor.

Ordinary people sneak downstairs from the second floor, and they choose to climb the water pipe or use tree branches and other buffers to go downstairs, but Li Jianbei's limbs are stiff, and he can't make those flexible movements at all, anyway, he is already a corpse, and he can't even feel the decay of the flesh gradually, let alone the pain.

Li Jianbei didn't know that there was a Xiang Zizhuo behind him, so he simply jumped down from the second floor and smashed into the grass downstairs.

The stiff corpse smashed to the grass, and a dull sound of "bang" was heard far away in the night, but it was already the middle of the night, and no one thought that anyone would jump from the second floor, and it did not attract anyone's attention.

But Xiang Zizhuo, who was hiding behind Li Jianbei, was scared half to death!

He thought that Li Jianbei suddenly couldn't think of jumping off the building, and at that moment Xiang Zizhuo's head was blank, and he hurriedly rushed to the corridor to look down, but he saw Li Jianbei who smashed from the second floor to the first floor, and actually stood up from the grass as if nothing happened.

With such a tragic fall, he didn't even snort, he stood up and walked to the side, still in the stiff walking posture, moving rigidly like a puppet, no different from the daytime.

Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei are too familiar, and it is precisely because of this familiarity that he has blinded his eyes and reason.

At this time, he was shocked by Li Jianbei's jumping off the building, this scene instantly sobered Xiang Zizhuo, he looked at Li Jianbei's back, and finally realized where Li Jianbei was different from the past.

This...... Clearly doesn't look like a living person......

But what is very strange is that this speculation emerged from his heart, but Xiang Zizhuo did not have the slightest fear.

He is too familiar with Li Jianbei, and he understands from the bottom of his heart that even if Li Jianbei becomes a powerful ghost one day, it will not harm him, so at this moment he is only shocked.

Seeing Li Jianbei standing in the shadow of the tree next to him and didn't move anymore, only the light of the mobile phone loomed and occasionally shone on his face, confirming that he was still there, Xiang Zizhuo did not hesitate any longer, immediately grabbed the water pipe and climbed downstairs quietly, and then cautiously lurked to Li Jianbei's side.

A moment later, Yunjing arrived as promised.

Xiang Zizhuo was a little puzzled about the scene where Yunjing was able to come out of the gate, but immediately after the conversation between Yunjing and Li Jianbei, Xiang Zizhuo couldn't afford to think about it anymore.

He could understand every sentence of their conversation, but he didn't want to understand every sentence!

Until he heard that Li Jianbei was going to ask Yunjing to transfer the blood talisman to him, and then go to die by himself, Xiang Zizhuo couldn't listen anymore, and finally stood up and pulled Li Jianbei over.

At the moment when he grabbed Li Jianbei's hand, Xiang Zizhuo naturally saw the corpse spots on Li Jianbei's face, and at this moment, even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to accept that the person in front of him was dead.

He died in an accident ten days ago, but in order to keep the agreement with him, he crawled back from hell, clinging to this decaying body, even if the body became stiffer and stiffer, he played with him every day with difficulty, and never complained.

In order not to make him angry, even though he knew that the dead body could not touch the water, he still listened to him and took a bath.

In order to let him sleep peacefully, lie in bed with him on time every night and pretend to be asleep.

In order to hide himself and not let him suspect, he eats with him every day, how can the corpse eat, Xiang Zizhuo can't imagine how Li Jianbei has spent his life in the past ten days.

The difference between the living and the dead is the most terrible yin and yang......

A qiē is just for the original agreement!

Thinking of the quarrel with Li Jianbei two days ago, he was still questioning whether he had forgotten his original promise, Xiang Zizhuo only felt that he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps!

"Zizhuo ......" Li Jianbei looked at Xiang Zizhuo's gloomy face, if it was a weekday, if Xiang Zizhuo knew that he had so many things to hide from him, Xiang Zizhuo would definitely be angry at him on the spot, and he would never give up if he didn't scold him, but today he didn't say a word, such a strange Xiang Zizhuo made Li Jianbei feel very uneasy, and at the same time couldn't help but feel distressed.

Xiang Zizhuo took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "I'll take you over." ”

Li Jianbei listened to his slightly hoarse voice, raised his head and looked at him stunned.

Xiang Zizhuo pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "If you must go, I hope that the person who will accompany you to the end is me." ”

Li Jianbei opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, when he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and the whole person almost slipped.

Thirty-six to forty-eight hours after death, the stiffness of the body gradually disappears, the body becomes soft again, soft enough to perform all kinds of actions that a living person would not do, and at the same time, during the twenty-fourth to seventy-second hour after death, the various protein-rich internal organs in the body begin to decay.

Li Jianbei is now in this process, his stiff body can still stand upright, but his body that is too soft is difficult to control.

Xiang Zizhuo watched him stumble and keep falling, so he simply stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Jianbei's waist, pressed most of the weight of his whole person on himself, and supported Li Jianbei to continue to move forward.

After death, the body cells lose their activity, the dead lose control of the body, blood clotting and other factors cause the body to be much heavier than the living, but Xiang Zizhuo didn't seem to feel heavy at all, and he held Li Jianbei for a moment and refused to let go.

Li Jianbei's whole body leaned on Xiang Zizhuo's body, feeling Xiang Zizhuo's strong arm holding his waist, Li Jianbei's nervous hands and feet didn't know how to put it, so he could only lean on Xiang Zizhuo's body and look at him in a daze.

"I'm sorry, Zizhuo...... It's my bad ......."

"Shut up." Xiang Zizhuo said, and pressed his head with the other hand, so that his face was also leaning on his shoulder, and the two of them were close together, just covering the corpse spots on Li Jianbei's cheeks and neck.

Li Jianbei didn't have much strength to resist, he was able to be carried away by Xiang Zizhuo like this before he died, and there was no regret in his heart, he leaned on Xiang Zizhuo and said in a low voice: "I didn't like men before, I never knew that I would like men one day, and I didn't know that I liked you so much...... It wasn't until I died that I discovered my feelings, so I ran back like this, don't be affected by me, play well, although I'm dead, but you can continue to play with my wishes......"

"Shut up." Xiang Zizhuo said sullenly.

Li Jianbei handed the talisman he had been holding in his hand to Xiang Zizhuo: "This is what I painted, this world is too big, there are many, many things that we mortals don't know, I hope it can protect you, but I don't know if it will be useful for you to go abroad in the future, and face those foreign ghosts, I hope it will be useful......"

"Say no more." Xiang Zizhuo took the blood talisman, but refused to let go of Li Jianbei's hand, he said in a low voice, his voice becoming more and more hoarse.

Li Jianbei slowly closed his eyes and smiled softly: "It's very lucky to meet you, it's really nice to be able to play with you......"

Xiang Zizhuo didn't speak anymore, he hugged Li Jianbei and walked for a long time, and finally secretly raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yunjing stood in place, using his spiritual power to capture the aura on Li Jianbei's body, sensing that Xiang Zizhuo took Li Jianbei out of the school gate, and took him to the abandoned construction site about a kilometer away from the school.

Soon after, the aura around Li Jianbei completely dissipated.

Two hours later, Xiang Zizhuo returned to school alone, with an extra rope around his neck and a folded blood talisman hanging from the end, close to his chest.

Yun Jing's gaze froze, and when he got the blood talisman, he sensed a trace of Yin Spirit aura.

Suddenly, the dream demon in his arms moved, Yunjing looked down, and saw a purple aura floating out of the dream demon's body and flying into the blood talisman on Xiang Zizhuo's neck.

The dream demon slept in Lao Zhao's mansion for so long, the yin spirit didn't know how much he had seen, the yin spirit in the landscape painting alone was thousands and hundreds, this time it was taken by it, and Li Jianbei's yin spirit, which was originally extremely unstable, was directly stabilized, because there was no aura, so Li Jianbei's yin spirit could not be cultivated, and he could not become stronger, but because of this, such a weak yin spirit accompanied Xiang Zizhuo would not bring him harm.

Xiang Zizhuo saw that Yunjing was still waiting for him, walked up to Yunjing and whispered, "I blamed you before, I'm sorry...... And, thank you. ”

Yun Jing looked at his red eyes and said, "He's always been by your side." ”

Xiang Zizhuo glanced down at the blood talisman on his neck and nodded firmly.

The next day, the city basketball game was held in the city stadium, Boyang met a strong opponent at the beginning, a strong school fight caused a lot of attention, a player in the basketball team played badly due to excessive pressure, Xiang Zizhuo on the top, immediately turned the situation around on the spot, and finally won the game with an average of 17 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game!

After Boyang sang all the way to the second place in the provincial finals, in the key game with the first provincial champion, Xiang Zizhuo participated in a total of 4 games, with an average of 14 points per game to attract attention, and soon became famous in the province, because of his handsome appearance and strong strength, he quickly attracted countless male and female fans in a short period of time, and set off a wave of basketball.

An accurate three-point shot into the basket, as the basketball landed, the whistle sounded at the end of the finals of the national youth basketball competition, and the whole court was boiling, and Boyang finally defeated the opponent with a score of 105-88 to win the championship.

A crowd of people waved banners and flags chanting his name, and the camera focused directly on the rising basketball star.

Xiang Zizhuo stared at the basketball that slowly rolled to the side for a moment, lowered his head, gently picked up the blood talisman on his neck and kissed it.

We've won the national victory, Jianbei.

A farther journey is waiting for us to conquer together, and one day I will take you and me to the world stage, and together we will win more glorious trophies......

***

On the day of the National Basketball Finals, it was also the day before the half of the Boyang High School exams, and Boyang, which has always paid attention to exams, made a special time for half a day to let each class broadcast the basketball game with multimedia, and when Boyang won the championship, the whole school rang out cheers.

Yunjing sat in his seat, looking at Xiang Zizhuo on the screen, and then lowered his head and touched the dream demon he had placed in the drawer.

Fortunately, no matter how many ups and downs we go through, even from one world to another, we are not separated.

Thank you for always being with me.

The dream demon who was touched comfortably by Yunjing in the drawer rolled lazily in Yunjingdi's hands~
