Chapter 130: The White Night Fox and the Outlander
"Ah Jing!" Grandma immediately scolded her granddaughter and said seriously: "Miss Hai, it seems that you don't believe us anymore?"
"Grandma, don't do it again. Ah Jing, Xiao Feng, and you are all dead, and you are nothing more than unjust souls who have been used by the White Night Fox. Haiyun said: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to debunk the truth of the matter, as Xiaofeng said, you can't speak, the truth can only be told by me." ”
"Sister-" Haiyun waved his sleeves slightly, and the white bandages on Ah Jing's eyes fell to the ground, they were a pair of bright eyes, long eyelashes were slightly upturned, and orange pupils were as seductive as amber.
"It turns out that Ah Jing is not blind, but has been pretending to be blind. Haiyun smiled, "Grandma, these eyes should be Xiao Feng's - the White Night Fox killed Xiao Feng, and you gave his eyes to Ah Jing." ”
Grandma and Ah Jing were silent, staring at Haiyun with a puzzled expression.
"I walked into a little girl's room while wandering around on the third floor, and I guessed that it was Ah Jing's room. On the table in the room was a diary, the last of which was twenty years ago. It doesn't take a lot of time to keep a diary every day, and it's impossible for someone who has the habit of keeping a diary not written a diary for more than 20 years. ”
Ah Jing shook his head, "I'm blind, so I can't keep a diary—"
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, and Haiyun explained: "Ah Jing, although you are blind, you are not blind. After living in a hotel for twenty years, I already know everything, and it is so easy to go upstairs and downstairs, let alone keep a diary?You said that the boy named Xiaofeng is a tourist here like me, but he seems to be hiding from something, slapping the ice-blue leather ball in his hand without making any sound, and his speech is slurred, Ah Jing, he disappeared without a trace as soon as you came, Xiaofeng, he is really afraid of you. ”
"Oh, no—" Haiyun sighed, "the real Ah Jing and Grandma have died in that accident twenty years ago, and now you are just the souls of the White Night Fox." ”
"We're already dead?" Ah Jing hugged his head tightly, and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground as if under a spell, "Impossible, impossible, Sister Haiyun, you lied to me-" The throat of despair resounded throughout the inn, strange and poignant.
"Ah Jing, how are you? If you are not feeling well, tell your grandmother—" Grandma knelt down beside Ah Jing and hugged her granddaughter, "I will heal you as I did you in the eyes." ”
"Grandma, my head hurts, it hurts-" Ah Jing's beautiful eyes were full of tears, her voice was getting weaker and weaker, she fell in front of the fragrant dinner, looked at Haiyun in front of her who was getting more and more blurred, and said pitifully: "Sister Haiyun, am I really dead?"
Haiyun sighed, half-squatted in front of Ah Jing and touched her forehead, "Ah Jing, dead people should not live in this world, for you death is really lived." ”
"Yes, I remember, Grandma and I are dead. Ah Jing was sweating profusely, and became numb because of the severe pain, which was a phenomenon of returning to the light, "Why is this happening, it turns out that I was originally a dead man-" Looking at the grandmother who was crying silently beside him, Ah Jing comforted: "Thank you, Grandma has been with me for twenty years, and now I'm leaving, say goodbye to you, a person should take care of himself, don't be too tired." Ah Jing took a deep breath, the painful expression disappeared, revealing a sad smile, she said that she felt light, and soon her body turned into cherry blossom petals, "Sister Haiyun, your clothes are so beautiful-"
The cherry blossoms were gone, and Ah Jing disappeared into the dining hall, leaving the wooden stick made of bamboo on the ground.
"Are you happy now? I live a peaceful life with Ah Jing, and if it weren't for you, Ah Jing wouldn't have disappeared. Why, my Ah Jing, - I could see it, but I just walked away—"
Bang Bang Bang –
Haiyun turned around, and the little boy slapped the ice-blue ball in his hand and appeared in front of her, leaving two lines of blood-red tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned and looked very happy.
"Thank you, so that I can leave with peace of mind. ”
"Your name is Xiaofeng?"
"Yes, I came to this inn ten years ago and was poisoned by Grandma's dinner. The White Night Fox promised Grandma to give my eyes to Ah Jing, and in exchange, my soul would be taken away by the White Night Fox. ”
"But you've been on the run. ”
"Yes, a blind man, a real blind man, who has been on the run in this inn for ten years. Even turning into a ghost, the White Night Fox refused to let me go. That's why I told you not to say you've seen me—"
Xiao Feng put down the ice-blue leather ball and pointed to the food on the table, and said gloomily: "If you didn't listen to me and ate dinner, I'm afraid you will be like me-"
Haiyun's black pupils contracted tightly, and the dish that was steaming hot just now melted into a pool of dark, indescribable things. Maggots wrirm inside, and rotting leaves give off a foul smell.
"Since you are afraid of the White Night Fox, why did you choose to show up, isn't it dangerous to reveal your location?" Haiyun asked.
"Danger?" said Xiaofeng, "only you can fight the White Night Fox, and only you can put an end to this tragedy." ”
Haiyun was puzzled, and the wail of this unjust soul seemed to come from the depths of the empty corridor, and I don't know how many people died in this lonely inn.
Pinching the petals that Ah Jing had turned into, the bitter tears of the grandmother threw her eyes at Xiao Feng with vicious eyes, "You killed Ah Jing, you killed her-" Grandma rushed to Xiao Feng with a rolling belt, and hit the boy with all her strength with her fist.
The boy's ice-blue ball fell to the ground and rolled to the side. He pushed Grandma away, with a weird smile on his face, "What about you, you were used by the White Night Fox not to mention, but also for the tiger, you have been hiding from Ah Jing to bully her blindness, and killed all the people who strayed into the hotel." Their bodies were all buried under the cherry blossom trees, and the souls were given to the White Night Fox. ”
"Ah Jing is dead, Ah Jing is dead-" The grandmother who fell to the ground had empty eyes, and pointed at Haiyun and Xiaofeng with trembling hands, as if they were demons from the abyss, "It was you who killed Ah Jing, it was you who killed her, she saw the world clearly, and she was killed by you, and I Ah Jing——"
The old man fell to the floor, and like her granddaughter, Ah Jing, she turned into cherry blossoms and scattered all over the ground.
"What's going on?"
The little boy slowly picked up the ice-blue ball that had fallen and told the story from the beginning: "This inn is called Cherry Blossom Alley, and it is the famous inn in Karn Town, and there is a long Cherry Blossom Alley outside the inn, which is as beautiful as the name of the inn. Bright cherry blossoms fall here all year round, and many people come here as guests. The owners of Sakura Lane are a happy family, they have lived here for nearly a hundred years, and what was originally an ordinary day was broken in one night-"
In just one night, the White Night Fox turned into a cherry blossom and took away the souls of everyone in the inn, including Ah Jing and Grandma. It turns out that there is a sleeping monster hidden under these cherry blossom trees, and people don't know where it came from. It buries the bodies of the dead under the cherry blossom trees, and when the one hundred and twenty-eight cherry blossom trees absorb a thousand souls, she can leave the cherry blossom alley. Since the White Night Fox couldn't leave, and in order to get more people into Sakura Lane, it left Ah Jing and Grandma behind, and turned them into the living dead, preserving their memories of their lifetime. ”
Therefore, on the surface, Ah Jing and Grandma are still alive, while the others only regard everything as a plague. Later, the inn returned to its usual bustle. But as the White Night Fox stole more souls, the people of Karn began to notice the strangeness of Cherry Blossom Alley, and gradually, Cherry Blossom Alley had fewer and fewer customers—until—I came here. As for the rest of the story, you should also know it. ”
Haiyun nodded, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you the first soul absorbed by the White Night Fox?"
The little boy raised his head, opened his mouth and said, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine." ”
"So I'm its thousandth target?"
"Yes, but my soul has not been taken away by it. The little boy patted the ice-blue fairway in his arms, "Thanks to it, I was able to avoid the White Night Fox." ”
Haiyun looked at the ice-blue ball, and it didn't look unusual.
"Why is Ah Jing blind?"
"You have to ask the White Night Fox. ”
"Does Grandma know the truth?"
She knows. ”
"But she's dead now—"
"Grandma has long since died. ”
After a brief pause, Haiyun continued to ask.
"Why is Grandma doing something for the tiger? is it to heal Ah Jing's eyes?"
The little boy nodded.
Haiyun took a deep breath, "What time is it?"
"At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun has already set—"
"Can I still get out after entering Sakura Alley?"
"No, you can't. ”
Haiyun turned his head and asked, "The ice-blue ball in your hand is very beautiful, can you let me take a look?"
"This is my ball, no one can move it—" the boy quickly shook his head and refused, "Night has fallen, and the White Night Fox is about to appear." During the day it can only turn into cherry blossom petals, but at night it has infinite power—"
"Where is the White Night Fox?"
"I don't know, the ice-blue ball will only tell me when it's close. ”
"So you've been carrying this ball with you?"
"Yes, now that the White Night Fox has collected nine hundred and ninety-eight souls, if the two of us die here, it will have to break free from its cage. ”
"Your name is Xiaofeng?"
"Yes, the breeze of the wind. The boy clung to his ice-blue ball and stood motionless behind Haiyun.
"Xiaofeng—" Haiyun smiled, and the moment he turned around, the Phantom Thunder Shield and the Cold Flower Spear were already in his hands, his whole body was wrapped in silver armor, and his long ice blue hair peeked out from the gaps on the sides of the helmet and the top of the helmet.
"I should call you the White Night Fox, right? The real Wind is dead, and his soul is in this ice-blue ball. ”
As soon as the words fell, the tip of the Hanhua spear stabbed at the ice-blue ball in Xiao Feng's hand, and the overwhelming spiritual power from the heart of the ocean exploded in an instant.
Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and the ice-blue ball turned into cherry blossom petals and dissipated in front of Haiyun's eyes. The Hanhua spear stabbed into the air, and the tip of the spear only stabbed three pink petals.
The petals of the cherry blossoms floated towards the corridor like life, and Haiyun put away the cold flower gun and chased at full speed. The cherry blossoms shattered the wooden ceiling of the three-story building and flew towards the roof of the hotel, and Haiyun jumped through the ceiling and stood firmly on the roof.
In the night, cherry blossom petals gathered from all directions, and the boy with the ice-blue ball disappeared, and the petals turned into a human form. Under the moonlight, Haiyun finally saw that she was the bewitching woman in a red robe she met when she entered Sakura Alley, wearing a white fox mask on her face and holding an ice-blue crystal in her hand.
"Sweet little sister, we're meeting again-"
The soul-stirring voice came from under her mask, touching Haiyun's heart.
