Chapter 157: Inner Demon
It took almost an hour for the car to enter a yard surrounded by visible security guards who were guarding against some unseen threat.
The arrival of Ji Hao and I soon reached the ears of the owner of the house, and Lin Jiajun was waiting for us in front of the house. When I see him again, my mood is still very complicated, but it is still better than yesterday.
Before parking, Ji Hao looked at me seriously and asked confirmatively, "You won't be impulsive, will you?" β
"Do you want me to kick you out of the car first, to make sure?" I looked back at him, "Maybe, it will be more effective, and I can vent it appropriately." β
Ji Hao raised his eyebrows rarely, and said, "It's better to be exempt today, get out of the car." β
"Hmm." I put away my smiling face, and after doing all kinds of psychological construction, I followed Ji Hao out of the car.
Lin Jiajun greeted Ji Hao warmly, and then looked at me with an observing gaze.
It turns out that no matter how much psychological construction I do, when I reach a close distance with him, I can still feel an indescribable feeling surging in the bottom of my heart.
Is it nostalgia? Is it anger? Still is......
It's hard for me to tell the difference myself.
Lin Jiajun was also visibly stunned when he saw me, but the reason why he was stunned was not the same as mine.
"Young Master Ji, who is this..."
"He's a gentleman I know, and he's very clever." Ji Hao introduced Lin Jiajun with a smile, and when he looked at me, he glanced at me without a trace.
I was in my heart for a while, hurriedly cleaned up my mood, walked around the front of the car, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Lin." β
"Hello." Lin Jiajun stretched out his hand and shook it with me, and nodded and said, "I didn't expect to be so young, I really want to be young." β
"Mr. Lin has won the award." There was a slight bitterness in my tone, perhaps because I heard too much emotion in my voice, Ji Hao took a step forward and stopped between us and said, "Time is pressing, let's let him see your child's situation first." β
Lin Jiajun was looking at me, but when he heard this, he quickly nodded and turned around and welcomed us into the house.
I didn't dare to take a closer look at him after he turned his head, and his hair was already mixed with a lot of gray hair, which slowly overlapped with the image in my memory, and gradually changed into Lin Jiajun's current appearance.
"Lin Shao." Ji Hao turned around and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Your eyes are too warm." β
"I... I didn't. I said humbly, thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the first time that Ji Hao has directly called my full name.
Ji Hao looked at me deeply and didn't say anything more. I also retracted my gaze and followed them into the house and upstairs, and saw many pictures on the walls of the hallway, most of them about two children.
A cute boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly older girl.
Pictures of two children playing are everywhere, and if I look closely, I can even find some small toys hidden behind the photos, as well as pieces of colored paper between the cracks in the bookcase.
The house is full of traces of children's lives, and it is clear that Lin Jiajun loves his two children quite much.
My mood became a little complicated, and I don't know if this sour feeling is considered a little jealous.
I'm actually jealous of two children!
I myself think it's a bit ridiculous to be naΓ―ve.
At this time, going up to the second floor, Lin Jiajun took us to a room with shell wind chimes and cartoon characters.
There was a bunk bed in one corner of the room, and a woman was sitting on the edge of the bed tending to her two children lying on the bed.
Seeing us, the woman quickly stood up and nodded at us in a friendly manner.
"Siya, this is Mr. Ji Hao that I mentioned to you. This is the little gentleman that Young Master Ji brought to see the child. "I didn't tell Lim my name, that is, I wondered how he would react when he heard his son's name, but I didn't want to go against my mother's wishes.
After acquiescing to the title of Mr. Xiao, I took a deep breath and said, "I am a shallow learner, thanks to the introduction of Young Master Ji, let me try it." β
Ji Hao glanced at me, and continued: "I believe in your ability, Mr. Lin, take the liberty of asking, what are the names of Ling Gongzi and Ling Ai?" β
"I was negligent." Lin Jiajun said, "My daughter is a little older sister, named Lin Yuchen, and my son is one year younger and called Lin Yushu. β
"Yushu and Yuchen are two rather poetic names." Ji Hao nodded, I rolled my eyes, stepped on his shoes without a trace, and walked to the side of the bed and said, "Madam, can you give it a moment?" β
The woman in front of her is dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and she is also very well maintained. That is, this woman has robbed my mother of the position that should have belonged to me, even though she herself may not have realized that she was married to a scumbag.
I know I shouldn't take my temper out on someone who doesn't know, but I just don't speak in a good tone.
The woman didn't care, or didn't hear it, she came up and grabbed my hands and said, "Please, my two children are asleep, and I really don't know what to do." β
Looking at the tired and hopeful gaze of the person in front of me, I opened my mouth, nodded slightly, and said, "I'll do my best, let me take a look first." β
The woman moved out of the way so that I could stand by the bed.
The one who fell asleep on the lower floor was a little boy with a haggard face, which should be the Lin Yushu in their mouths.
I looked at this half-brother, who was asleep.
Looking at his sleeping face, some dark thoughts slowly grew somewhere in my mind. Those thoughts were like vines, haunting my soul.
Why can you have the love of a father? Why can you embrace the sunshine when others are living in darkness?
There was a terrible sound in my head that sent a lot of crazy and horrible thoughts through my brain.
It wasn't until a hand suddenly put on my shoulder that I woke up from a dream, and my whole body was shocked.
"How is he?" Ji Hao withdrew his hand and asked indifferently, but his eyes were very sharp.
My chest heaved violently, I withdrew my gaze, and then said a little tiredly, "Not sure yet." β
I stretched out my hand, and with a slight tremble, I pulled the little boy's eyelids down a little, and my eyes froze slightly, and said, "I lost my soul." β
"Lost souls?" Ji Hao asked, "You mean, like losing something?" β
"It's a little similar, but it's not the same." I shook my head, trying to shake all the twisted and dark thoughts out of my brain, and then look at the eyelids of the little girl sleeping on the top bunk.
The situation is exactly the same, the two children should have lost their souls at the same time.
"May I ask, when did they start doing this?" When I got down the ladder and asked, the woman immediately said, "It's been two days, and after they went to the children's playground to play, they had a high fever the night they came back, and then they couldn't wake up, and they couldn't find anything when they went to the hospital." β
"Children's Paradise..." I frowned, this didn't look like a place where I would lose my soul, I thought it would be some kind of mass grave or something like that.
"Want to check it out?" Ji Hao saw my thoughts, and after asking the woman for the address of the children's park, he drove me directly to the amusement park.
It's the last few days of the holiday season, and the amusement park is full of people with the sound of noisy children and noisy play machines working.
Before coming, we had asked them about the various facilities they had played with that day. From roller coasters to pirate ships, to sand parks and bumper cars, those two little ones have pretty much the amusement park out there.
I drove the method of viewing Qi and found a half-dead person in the amusement park, and there were crowds of people everywhere, so that I couldn't tell which was the human and which was the soul that Lin Yushu and Lin Yuchen might have lost.
"Gan, these people don't have to go to work?" I sat out of breath on a stool in the lounge area, staring at the road where people were coming and going, and I was a little at a loss.
At this time, a glass of cold Coke was pressed to my face, and I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Let's wait until the evening, I'll go talk to the person in charge of the playground." Ji Hao drank his iced coffee and sat down, his face was uglier than mine, because he didn't like this kind of crowded environment at all.
Recalling the appearance of the person next to me who didn't know whether to cover his nose or body along the way, I couldn't help laughing, and even felt better: "It's okay to come at night, in fact, it is not difficult to summon the soul if you know where to lose it." β
"But do you really want to do that?" Ji Hao turned his head and asked me, "The fatherly love they have should have belonged to you." β
"What you're saying is horrible." I rolled my eyes, leaned back in my chair and opened the Coke can, "There is a debtor and a debtor, even if I want to take revenge, it will be revenge on Lin Jiajun." Those two children are innocent, and I have no reason not to save them. β
"Heh, some naΓ―ve thoughts." Ji Hao neither agreed nor opposed, in fact, I was quite curious why this guy wanted to get involved in this matter, and what good was it for him?
"Young Master Ji, can I ask you a question?" I turned my head to ask, but the man next to me got up and went to the person in charge of the playground before I could turn my head.
With Ji Hao coming forward, things have become much simpler. By eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when all the visitors were gone, we went back to the amusement park and took out two pieces of clothing from the car that were tied to bamboo poles.
"Do you really want to do that?" Ji Hao seemed a little embarrassed, because I arranged for him the task of shaking these two flags, as the face of the flag, the clothes worn by the two children, which were also simple spirit flags.
It's not that I don't want to use a piece of paper to summon a spirit flag, but the effect of that kind of underworld product is too strong, and even wild ghosts within a radius of several miles will be summoned.
"Of course, you should sacrifice it, don't worry, no one will see it." With a smile in my mouth, I made up my mind to find an opportunity to take a picture of Ji Hao waving the spirit flag.
Ji Hao glanced at me and said lightly, "Why do I think you are a little ill-intentioned?" β
Gan, why is this life so keen?
"Ahem, I'll try to find it first." I looked back solemnly, and the means that I could not use in the daytime could be used at night.
I first used the soul butterfly to try to find the location of the two children's souls, and after dripping with blood, the paper butterfly flew and flew in one direction very steadily.
This is still a bit unexpected to me, after all, those two children are just lost souls and not ghosts, and I don't know if the soul attracting butterfly can play a role.
At this moment, the paper butterfly led the way, I thought about it for a while, and immediately chased after it, and before catching up, I left Ji Hao in place, and asked him to call the names of the two sisters and brothers and shake the spirit flag.
The playground is bustling in the morning, but in the evening it looks very gloomy, with quiet dark shadows everywhere, and there seems to be a cold atmosphere in the air.
The paper butterfly led the way until it brought me to a thick old tree.
The old tree was about the thickness of ten people hugging each other, and the crown was huge, and the shadows cast by it exuded a yin aura that seemed to be absent.
"Old Tree Spirit?" I was slightly stunned, and at that moment, the ground in front of me suddenly cracked, and a tree root whipped down at me.
