Volume 1 The Nightmare Chapter 27 The Debt Collector
Fang Fan's recovery and discharge from the hospital is undoubtedly a happy thing for everyone, and everything in life is back on track. Zhang Ze went to work at the police station, Wanli and Yuehan were busy with their own affairs, and Fang Fan browsed the recent events in Zhonghai City on the Internet and waited for the case to come to the door by the way. Only Yuerun was staring out the window blankly, it wasn't that he had nothing to do, but Yuerun heard a burst of singing.
Drawn to the sound of singing, Yuerun folded his hands in front of his chest always gives him a sense of security and allows him to forget the abuse and discrimination he suffered as a child. Yuerun slowly approached the window, looking out the window, and the sound of singing became more obvious. But no matter how Yue Run looked, he couldn't find it, and he began to become impatient and restless. The pleasant feeling before was gone, and Yuerun covered his ears with both hands, but the sound passed through his eardrums like a sharp spear to the cranial cavity, and Yuerun began to tremble, and his face was red like a ripe tomato. After a while, the sound of singing gradually disappeared, and Yue Run slowly calmed down, and he walked up to Fang Fan and looked at him blankly.
"Yuerun, what's wrong?"
Fang Fan was taken aback by Yue Run, looking at his dull eyes, Fang Fan felt very awkward. Although Yuerun is usually like this, today's appearance of Yuerun made Fang Fan feel awkward and a little weird.
"You... Did you hear that? ”
"Hear what?"
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
Yuerun was a little impatient.
"Did you hear it?"
Yuerun began to shout hysterically, and the shouting alarmed Yuehan and Wanli. The two of them came out of the house and looked at Yuerun, who was screaming. Wanli walked over and reached out to wrap her hand around Yuerun's shoulder, but Yuerun dodged it like an electric shock, and Wanli was a little surprised by his reaction.
"Wanli, I'll come. Yuerun is very reluctant to have physical contact with others. ”
Yuehan looked at Yuerun's eyes.
"Quiet, quiet..."
As he spoke, he let Yuerun take a deep breath with him, and slowly Yuerun's mood stabilized.
"Yuerun, tell my sister what just happened?"
"I just want to make sure my brother-in-law doesn't hear the same voice as me."
"Then you have to tell the other party your doubts first, and the other party can give you the answer."
Yuerun nodded and looked at Fang Fan. Then he took a deep breath.
"Did you hear the sound just now?"
Fang Fan looked at Yue Han carefully, he was worried that Yue Run would break out again like just now, Yue Han nodded at Fang Fan to signal him to rest assured, Yue Run would not have another seizure.
"What kind of sound is it?"
"The voice I heard with my sister when I was a child, it was very high-pitched, but it was very good."
Everyone was at a loss.
"Yuehan, do you still have an impression?"
"I remember when I was a kid I took Yuerun to listen to a play once, could it be that?"
Fang Fan looked at He Runrun again.
"Yuerun, can you imitate the sound you heard?"
Yuerun thought for a long time, and her face turned red again. Fang Fan looked at Yuerun worriedly, which was exactly the same as before Yuerun's outbreak just now.
"Don't worry, Yuerun, don't force yourself if you can't think of it."
Yuerun hummed a melody in a low voice, and at first no one could hear what he was humming, but after a while, Yuerun's voice gradually became higher, and Yuehan suddenly heard what Yuerun was humming.
"It's a play we used to listen to together when we were kids."
"But what's so strange about it?"
Fang Fan asked curiously, Yuerun looked at Fang Fan.
"Did you hear that?"
"Nope. What about you? ”
Wanli and Yuehan shook their heads. After seeing everyone's reactions, Yuerun quietly sat back on the sofa, staring out the window with blank eyes.
"Yuehan, do you want to take Yuerun to the hospital?"
Fang Fan asked tentatively, Yue Han was very sensitive to all issues about Yue Run, Fang Fan didn't want to mess with Yue Han anymore.
"He's fine, nothing."
Fang Fan's concern was right, and sure enough, when he said this suggestion, Yue Han became like a piece of ice.
Zhang Ze came back at noon, and he also took a big bag of snacks, and as soon as he entered the door, he gave the bag of snacks to Yuerun, but Yuerun was not very interested. Yuerun, who has always liked snacks, was indifferent to such a large bag of snacks, Zhang Ze was a little strange.
"Wanli, is Yuerun okay?"
Wanli told Zhang Ze the truth about the morning, and then said that Yuerun would not have hit the evil spirit, Zhang Ze nodded disapprerovingly and continued.
"No way, I guess it's an auditory hallucination. Yuerun has autism, which is originally a problem with the nerves of the brain, and it is normal to have auditory hallucinations, and we ordinary people also have auditory hallucinations. ”
"That's right."
Suddenly, Wanli approached Zhang Ze's clothes and sniffed it.
"How does it smell like a woman's perfume? Are you stealing behind my back? ”
Zhang Ze hurriedly smelled the smell on his body, but there was nothing else except for the smell of sweat. Before Zhang Ze could defend himself, Wanli's slap arrived, and Zhang Ze almost fell down in front of him.
"What?"
Zhang Ze looked at Wanli aggrievedly.
"You have to find a reason to beat you, and whatever I say in the future is what it is, and you are not allowed to refute it."
Zhang Ze watched Wanli walk out of the room with an aggrieved face, he gritted his teeth and stood up, thinking to himself that his woman had to be spoiled no matter what happened, but the five finger prints on his face were really hot and painful.
In the evening, after the family had eaten and chatted for a while, they all went back to their rooms to rest, Yuerun couldn't sleep in bed, he came to the living room. The moon was hiding somewhere, and only the window in the dark living room could see some faint light from the outside. Yuerun sat on the sofa and looked at the clock on the wall.
“22:30...”
Yuerun muttered to herself, and every time the second hand walked, Yuerun's eyebrows rose upward. The ticking sound made Yuerun feel very comfortable, and suddenly the sound of singing got into his ears out of nowhere, Yuerun looked down sharply, no, the sound was outside the door, Yuerun lay on the door and listened, the sound was indeed outside the door, he looked out from the cat's eye, there was nothing. After a while, the voice floated upwards like a long leg, and Yuerun opened the door and chased after it, until it reached the top of the building, and the voice still lingered in Yuerun's ears.
The sound of Yuerun going out woke Yuehan, and she came out to see that the security door was open, and then she saw that Yuerun's door was also open. Obviously, Yue Run went out, and Yue Han hurriedly woke up Fang Fan. This was a mess, Fang Fan, Yuehan, Zhang Ze, and Wanli all woke up. Suddenly, Wanli saw that Yuerun was on the edge of the roof, and the four of them hurriedly went up to the roof, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze took a long time to pull Yuerun up, and I am afraid that it will cause a tragedy if it is delayed for a while.
"Are you crazy?"
Yuehan pointed at Yuerun and yelled, Yuerun lowered her head and trembled all over. Tears wet her eyes again, Yuehan stepped forward and hugged Yuerun tightly, no matter how Yuerun struggled, she didn't let go, Yuehan was afraid that the moment she let go, Yuerun would jump off the abyss in front of her.
The frightened few people returned home, and Yuehan took Yuerun back to the room to rest. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were staying in the living room, and they must not let Yuerun go out again.
"Old Fang, do you think it's strange?"
"Tell me."
"If Yuerun wants to commit suicide, just jump down. And why hold on to the edges and not let go? ”
"I've noticed this, too, looking at Yuerun's appearance just now, as if she was being pushed down by someone."
"But we didn't see anyone when we went up."
"Are there any bizarre cases in the police department lately?"
"No, it's rare to have peace in the world."
"Sleep, ask Yuerun tomorrow what he saw."
The next morning, Yuehan walked out of the room with a haggard face.
"Wife, didn't you sleep well?"
"Remove it, I didn't sleep all night, for fear that Yuerun would run away again, I didn't dare to close my eyes all night."
"You go to sleep, I'll look at him."
When Fang Fan came to the bedroom, he saw Yue Run sitting on the edge of the bed, muttering something in his mouth. Fang Fan gently patted Yuerun's shoulder from behind.
"Yuerun, what did you see last night?"
"I... I heard the singing again. ”
"Then why did you go up to the top floor?"
"Because it's up."
"Who?"
"The voice."
"And what did you see on the top floor?"
"It was very windy on the top floor, and I listened to the sound drifting away and I followed behind, and when I got to the edge of the roof, the sound disappeared, and then..."
Yuerun looked at the roof of the building last night.
"And then what?"
"And then it was as if someone was pushing me in the back."
Fang Fan had the general situation, he decided to go to the roof of the building to take a look, if someone did it on purpose, there might be some clues left there. Fang Fan's building is L-shaped, so you can see the roof of the other side from one side, and you can clearly see your living room from the roof. This is the place where Yuerun fell last night, Fang Fan noticed that there was a small platform under this place, which meant that even if Yuerun didn't catch the edge and fell, it would only fall on the platform, and it would not hurt his life. Fang Fan looked at his glass from here, and found that he could see his sofa from here, which was where Yuerun would sit every day. Fang Fan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Yue Run had just arrived here, and he still had some communication barriers, how could he make enemies with others? Could it be that the goal is not Yuerun?
Fang Fan was just about to go downstairs, a red silk flew out of nowhere, with the sound of the wind sweeping over his head, Fang Fan looked up and looked at the kung fu, the silk seemed to suddenly have life and tightly strangled Fang Fan's neck, Fang Fan struggled but his own strength was not the opponent of this silk, and then it became tighter and tighter, Fang Fan felt his legs weak, and he knelt on the ground with both hands holding the silk. Fang Fan suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were blood-red, red gas was exhaling from the corners of his mouth, his hands were torn off the silk around his neck with a loud bang, and his blood-red eyes were staring at the person standing with his hands behind his back ten meters away.
At this time, Zhang Ze happened to catch up, he looked at Fang Fan's situation and took out the dagger from his waist, the dagger seemed to have some kind of connection with the things in Fang Fan's body, and it flashed with a strange light intermittently, although it was daytime, the light was extremely dazzling.
"When Fan'er lost control, I stabbed him in the heart with this dagger."
This was what Fang Haotian had quietly told Zhang Ze before leaving, this dagger was made of the bones of the nightmare, and there was also a spell on the dagger that the monk had descended from the year, so the dagger had a restraining effect on the soul of the nightmare. Zhang Ze pulled out the dagger and flashed lightly behind Fang Fan, stabbing the dagger at the position of the heart cang, Fang Fan roared in pain, the red eyeballs gradually returned to their original appearance, and Fang Fan also calmed down.
"Heh, you still can't harness its power after all."
Fang Fan stood up in pain.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Well said. I'm an escrow. ”
"Custodian?"
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at each other.
"Old Fang, be careful. This guy doesn't look like a product of the yang world no matter how you look at it. ”
"What the hell is your purpose?"
Zhang Ze shouted at the custodian.
"Just sit aside and shut up."
Zhang Ze was very annoyed.
"Mounts? You're the mount, and your whole family is mounting..."
The custodian gestured at Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze lost his voice, and Zhang Ze looked at the other party in surprise.
"My name is Grief, and I am in charge of the things that intersect between the underworld and the yang, and simply put, I don't let the underworld and the yang meet rashly. Since ancient times, the separation of yin and yang is the credit of our custodians. ”
After that, the sad arrow gestured to Zhang Ze again, and Zhang Ze found that he could speak out.
"Sadness, why don't you resist urine?"
Grief frowned.
"You were embarrassed by your mouth in your previous life, but I didn't expect that you still won't change in this life, it seems that you still have to learn a lesson."
The sad arrow pointed at Zhang Ze's limbs, Zhang Ze immediately felt that his limbs were sore, and it was unbearable under the sun, and after being tortured for a while, Zhang Ze had no choice but to surrender.
"Comfortable?"
"Shangxian, I know that I am wrong."
Zhang Ze quietly stood aside and stopped talking, Fang Fan continued.
"And why are you here?"
"For what's inside you."
"Nightmare?"
"In ancient times, when the nightmare was still alive, he was only the leader of a barbarian tribe, and because his tribe was weak, he was always invaded by foreign tribes. Until the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought when the tribe of the Wei became cannon fodder, that kind of resentment in the heart of the Wei has never been erased, but slowly grew and strengthened over time, and later the Wei escaped from the underworld with many evil ghosts and hid in Luoyun Town, fortunately sealed by the wandering monk. But every year the custodian has to go to Luoyun Town to check the situation of the seal, lest the Nightmare be born again and harm the world, but not long ago, when I went to Luoyun Town to check, I found that the Nightmare was gone, and I found you by following its smell, and my task in the future is to monitor the Nightmare in your body. ”
"You mean you're going to follow me all the time?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
"Follow when?"
"Not necessarily, but if you need that kind of service, I can provide it too."
"No, I don't."
Fang Fan said categorically, and spread his hands sadly.
"Don't cry and beg me. Let me warn you first, the demons you killed are all cursed by the underworld. In the future, there will only be more strange things around you, and there will be more excitement than there will be. ”
Before Fang Fan could speak, Zhang Ze hurried over.
"From now on, it's all up to you to take care of you."
"When did you become so..."
Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze in surprise.
"I'm going to make sure you're safe so you can better seal the nightmare, but a lot of times you still have to protect yourself."
Suddenly, Fang Fan's mobile phone rang, it was Yuehan's phone.
"Fang Fan, where are you? Come back soon, Yuerun..."
Fang Fan looked at his living room, he saw that Yue Han and Wan Li were hugging Yue Run's waist tightly, but the strength of the two did not stop Yue Run's forward pace in the slightest. Seeing this, Grief said calmly.
"The debt collector has come to the door."
