Chapter VI
"Welcome to the world of solitary spirits and spirit tamers," Qi Yan opened his arms enthusiastically, the corners of his mouth raised, "Current test result: safe." ”
I ignored his almost exaggerated enthusiasm and turned my head toward An Yin. He stood there dressed in moonlight, his body already had a clear outline, his tall figure reminded me of the great generals who galloped on the battlefield in ancient times, but his cold temperament was like a hermit who did not know the world. The two elements, cold and hot, were perfectly integrated in him. I could make out his lilting kaftan and his long, fluttering hair. However, his face was still blurry, and I couldn't see his expression, so I could only guess what kind of mood he was in at the moment.
I raised a hand, and he gently landed beside me and whispered, "Congratulations, master." ”
"What is there to congratulate, and there is no red envelope, and I almost hung up. And as I said, don't always call me master, I have a name. I muttered.
"Okay, okay, I'm sleepy, I still have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't play with you today." Qi Yan waved his hand and yawned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" An Yin called out to him.
Qi Yan stopped, still looking at An Yin lazily.
"There's another question," An Yin approached him, "who the hell changed the time?" ”
Qi Yan chuckled lightly and said, "No one can modify the time, although the spiritual power is powerful, it is not strong enough to modify the time arbitrarily. Even if such a power existed, it should have been obliterated long ago. It's not that someone else has brought forward your master's birthday, it's that your birthday has always been a wrong day. ”
"It can't be! It's impossible for a soul tamer to make such a mistake! "I argue that, thanks to the constitution of a spirit tamer, I can clearly remember everything I have experienced since I was 7 years old.
"Maybe you're not misremembered, but you've been told from the beginning that it's a wrong day, and if that's the case, no matter how good the trainer's memory is, it's impossible to get a correct result. And on the contrary, memories that you think are reliable will make you let your guard down. So, never trust your spiritual power too much, as much help it can give you, it can give you as much danger as it can be. After Qi Yan finished speaking, he left without looking back.
I looked at An Yin in astonishment, but I was speechless for a moment. I got my spiritual power at the age of 7, and my birthday was something I knew before I was 7 years old, so the birthday I remember should have been told to me by my parents, but why did my parents tell me a wrong day? They should know how important birthdays are to a soul tamer.
"Don't think about it so much, everything that happened tonight is enough for you. Rest early, your parents can't hurt you, they must have their reasons for doing this. Never doubt the people who love you. ”
"Yes, I know they love me. But I want to know the answer, what the hell is going on. You know what that feels like? Suddenly one day your nearest and dearest person is missing, and you are taken by a relative who is almost a stranger, and at the same time you become a monster yourself. No one explains all this to you, you don't know anything, like a fool who can only wait, only to wait for more and more doubts. What's going on with all this? An Yin, tell me everything you know, okay? I beg you, I don't want to go on like this. ”
The wind gently blew the mint-colored curtains by the window, and the leaves outside the window were reflected on the curtains, trembling slightly, as if singing a sad song. The moon gathered its brilliance and gradually disappeared behind the clouds. The darkness pressed down layer by layer, and An Yin's body shimmered in the darkness.
"Someday, everything will have an answer, but what's the use of knowing the answer?" An Yin looked at me, but I didn't think it was meant for me.
"Useful, must be useful." I said out loud.
An Yin didn't argue anything, he never argued with me, and he rarely asked me why, no matter what I said. Although An Yin has been with me for ten years, there is always something between us.
"Rest, you're tired."
I did feel a wave of tiredness come over me, and I looked at my little bed again and said, "Auntie is not at home today, so I'll rest here." ”
"It's not safe here, it's better to go home."
"This is my home, and I can really sleep soundly here."
An Yin's hand trembled, and he said, "Then I will stay and guard you, but I'm afraid I will have left when you wake up." ”
"Okay, good night."
I curled up on the little bed, hugged the teddy bear, and stepped into a deep dream.
When I woke up, it was 7 o'clock, I grabbed my schoolbag and hurried to the school, pushed the door into the classroom, saw Chen Zhi with a dull face, and then remembered whether Chen Zhi would also wait for me downstairs at my aunt's house this morning, and explained that he left in a hurry yesterday. Damn it! I forgot.
"I'm sorry, Chen Zhi, I'm really sorry, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to tell you." I didn't have time to put my bag down, so I ran up to her and apologized.
"No, it's not like that." Chen Zhi said that his originally bright eyes were extremely dim.
"I'm sorry......" I said again. It's a secret that the lone spirits and the spirit trainers have guarded with their lives for generations, and I can't say it anyway. And I don't know how to explain to Chen Zhi, and I don't want to continue to explain, all the explanations are piled up by lies. I'm tired and don't want to lie anymore. I got a vision that wasn't real, but seemed to lose more. My friendship with Chen Zhi was itself built on a huge lie, and I can't be sure how much of it is true.
"Why...... Why did we get to where we are today......" Her eyes trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but all the words were swallowed back as soon as they reached her lips.
"I'm sorry, I won't be like this again."
"Don't apologize anymore! Please don't apologize again! Why apologize to me! That's not what I'm trying to say! Chen Zhi covered his ears with his hands and shook his head desperately, looking very painful.
"Chen Zhi, what's wrong? What do you want to say? "I gradually realized that Chen Zhi might have something else to tell me. I remembered that Chen Zhi was often in a daze recently, maybe something happened at home and I was in a bad mood, and I happened to be not by her side.
"Yishi, there's one thing I want to tell you, I have to tell you, in fact, ......" Chen Zhi's pupils contracted suddenly, her eyes were full of horror, she stretched out her hand and tugged around her neck indiscriminately, as if something was strangling her neck. I hurriedly went to help her, and the moment I touched her, I felt a chill that was fleeting, and I mistook it for my own delusion.
Chen Zhi's violent coughing caused the students in the classroom to look up at us.
He An walked up to us, put away his usual smiling face, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Zhi had already recovered, standing there with his eyes closed and not speaking, He An looked at me, and I felt that many eyes were on here, and my body was hot. Ever since I was a child, I was afraid of people looking at me, and I would stutter when I encountered such a situation.
"That...... I ......"
"Nothing, really nothing." Chen Zhi suddenly raised his head and said calmly, without a trace of waves in his deep pool-like eyes. I looked at her, and she was clearly in front of me, but I felt so far away.
"But what the hell just happened...... Are you feeling unwell? Is it sick? What do you want to tell me......"
The class bell rang suddenly, and I had to return to my seat, but still turned back to Chen Zhi from time to time to cast inquiring glances.
What did Chen Zhi want to tell me just now...... Why was she suddenly speechless......
