Due to the effect of the power of the fighting spirit, Xiahou Yuan, who was seriously injured, was cured and discharged from the hospital the next day, but Xiahou Yuan asked him for a week off before, and Xiahou Yuan thought to himself that he could take this opportunity to rest and accompany Chen Xuan.

At seven o'clock in the morning of the second day after being discharged from the hospital, Xia Houdun's alarm clock rang as usual. Xia Houdun got up to wash, shave, and then went to the kitchen to start making breakfast. Except for weekends, Xiahou Ling usually lives in the school dormitory on weekdays, so Xiahoudun only needs to make breakfast for him and Xiahou Yuan at this time.

Xia Houdun skillfully beat eggs and fried bacon, and his heart was still immersed in the joy of Chen Xuan's successful marriage proposal a few days ago, thinking about how to persuade Chen Xuan to get the marriage certificate this weekend. "Ding Dong", the doorbell of Xiahoudun's house rang. Xiahoudun thought to himself: Who will it be so early? Quickly turn off the heat, grab the spatula, and trot to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that Chen Xuan was standing outside the door, wearing a pink casual dress that was a little girlish and it was rare to see her on weekdays. Xiahoudun was stunned and asked with a stammer, "Why are you here?" It's still so early? ”

"The weather is good today, and the days are good, go early, or wait for the morning." Chen Xuan's words today were a little more verbose than usual, and she lost the cold posture of the original goddess, she entered the house, closed the door, and looked at the kitchen, "Are you cooking?" ”

"Ah, I'm cooking. No, where to go, what to wait for a morning? Xiahoudun was blindsided by Chen Xuan's words just now, he said a little incoherently, and suddenly heard the sound of "Zizi" from the kitchen, and hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, "You, wait a while, I'll go get the pot first." ”

Chen Xuan changed into slippers, walked to the dining room, and looked to the second floor, "Xiaoling Xiaoyuan hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

"Xiao Ling lives in school, and Xiao Yuan will get up in a while." Xiahoudun said while making breakfast, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"No, I woke up too early in the morning." Chen Xuan said.

After a while, Xiahoudun brought three breakfasts to the table, and he asked while putting on his apron, "Why are you going?" ”

Chen Xuan pouted, pretending to be angry, and asked in a questioning tone: "Xiahoudun!" What you said in the ward doesn't count? ”

"What did I say?" Xiahoudun, who had never seen Chen Xuan's pout, was even more confused, he tried hard to recall what he had said in the ward, and suddenly shouted: "You don't want to go to get the certificate today, do you?" ”

"Yo?" Xiahou Yuan, who had just finished washing, walked down from the second floor and looked at Xiahoudun and Chen Xuan with a sneer, "Did I miss any highlights?" ”

"It's not 'anymore', it's that you're about to miss the highlights." Chen Xuan also looked at Xiahou Yuan with a smile.

Xiahoudun glanced at Xiahou Yuan, then at Chen Xuan, shook his head and said, "Let's eat first, and then go after eating." ”

Xiahou Yuan went to work, but he really didn't see the wonderful clip, and he didn't see Chen Xuan asking Xiahou Yuan to carry her into the Civil Affairs Bureau with a princess hug, and then take her out from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Xuan jumped out of Xiahoudun's arms, she jumped and spun, holding the marriage certificate in her hand and waving it.

"Be careful not to lose it." The excitement in Xiahoudun's heart was completely suppressed by Chen Xuan's madness, he looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, thinking that the next days would be spent with his beloved woman, and he instantly felt full of happiness.

Chen Xuan returned to Xiahoudun's side, tugged at his clothes and said, "You say, I'll go back and show my mother this, will she be surprised or frightened?" ”

"Huh?" Xiahou was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you tell Aunt Cheng before you came?" ”

"No, I made the decision when I got up in the morning and went for a run, and I came straight to you." Chen Xuan laughed out loud after speaking, completely losing his previous quiet appearance. She hugged Xiahoudun tightly and shouted: "I'm married!" ”

Xiahoudun was just about to kiss Chen Xuan, when his mobile phone suddenly rang. "Who is so blind?" As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Xia Houling calling, so he connected it.

"Brother, where are you?" Xia Houling's slightly trembling voice came from the other end of the phone, "I came to your unit to look for you, and you and the second brother are not here." ”

"Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Xiahoudun heard that his sister's voice was wrong, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

"Brother, I saw a ghost." Xia Houling's voice seemed to be about to cry.

"Ghosts? You wait, I'll go over. Xiahoudun said and hung up the phone.

"Is it Xiaoling?" Chen Xuan's expression also became serious, "Nothing happened to her, right?" ”

"She's in my unit, let's go over." Xiahoudun said, took out the car keys, and trotted towards the parking lot with Chen Xuan.

Xiahoudun's unit was very close to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and after a while, Xiahoudun arrived, and after learning from the front desk that Xiahouyuan was out on fieldwork, he walked quickly to his office on the third floor, and saw that Xiahou Linghe had no accident in his office, so he was relieved.

He saw a girl sitting next to Xia Houling, with big eyes and a somewhat familiar face, and stepped forward and asked, "Who is this?" What's wrong with you. ”

"This is my classmate Wang Hui, you've seen it." Xia Houling replied.

"Oh, I remember." Xiahoudun looked at Wang Hui and found that she was curled up on the sofa without saying a word, trembling, her eyes looking straight at the ground, as if she was seriously frightened, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Xiaoling is okay, right?" At this time, Chen Xuan also caught up.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiahoudun pointed to the vacant position of the sofa, motioned for Chen Xuan to sit down, and sat down on the sofa near Xiahouling, "Tell my brother, what's going on?" ”

Xiahou Ling slowed down for a while before she said, "Brother, do you remember that you met a classmate of mine before?" It's that Xu Jiarui. ”

Xiahoudun thought for a while and said, "It's that little girl who is quite tall and a little fat, right?" What's wrong with her? ”

"She's a ghost!" Xiahou Ling said trembling with a slight cry, and hugged her brother next to her.

"Huh? Turned into a ghost? Xiahou looked at his sister in surprise, stroked her hair with his hand, and glanced at Chen Xuan, who was also surprised with the same expression, and continued to ask, "How did she become a ghost?" ”

At this time, Wang Hui took out her mobile phone and handed it to Xiao Ling, who handed the mobile phone to Xiahou Dun.

Xiahoudun took the phone and saw a photo displayed on it. The photo shows a woman sitting at a desk, with a dark brown complexion, dense cracks on her skin, blood at the cracks, and her eyes are all white and without eyeballs, staring viciously at the camera. After reading the photo, Xiahoudun put his mobile phone on the coffee table and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Since the last time Xu Jiarui's parents came to Yandu to see her, she is like a different person." Xia Houling controlled her emotions and told Xia Houdun, "She quit the dance team, and then broke up with her boyfriend, she only knows how to read books every day, read them in the study room, and read them when she goes back to the dormitory." ”

"It's nothing, students, don't you focus on your studies?" Xiahoudun listened on the side and said a word.

"At the beginning, we also said that she was a top student or something." Xiahou Ling looked at Xiahoudun and said: "Later, I felt that something was wrong, she lost weight all of a sudden, and within two days, she was as thin as dry." ”

"And this kind of thing?" Chen Xuan listened curiously to Xiahou Ling on the side, and couldn't help but speak out loud.

"Yes." Xiahou Ling responded and continued: "As a result, this morning, Xiaohui and I came back from morning practice and saw her reading in the dormitory. Xiaohui said that she wanted to take a photo of the top student. ”

"Let me interject," Xiahoudun suddenly interjected again, "you are a dormitory, aren't you?" ”

"Yes." Xiahou Ling answered again, then pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said, "Then I took a picture of this." ”

Xiahou was stunned for a moment, then picked up his phone and looked at the photo again, although he had forgotten what Xu Jiarui looked like, but he could be sure that the monster in the photo must not be Xu Jiarui, "What is this?" ”

"I'll see." Chen Xuan reached out and wanted to take the phone.

"You better stop looking, I will scare you when I turn around." Xiahoudun didn't give Chen Xuan a mobile phone.

"It's not a kid again." Chen Xuan snatched the phone, glanced at it, and then handed the phone to Xiahoudun, "It's quite scary." ”

"Oh, yes!" Xiahou Ling seemed to remember something, and anxiously gestured with her hand and said: "This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Xiaohui and I ran outside the dormitory after reading the photos." Running to the door, the two of us looked back, and found that Xu Jiarui was sitting on the seat and did not move, but her head was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, looking at us. ”

Xia Houdun listened, frowned and began to think, sifting through the types of living beings and alien spirits over and over again in his mind. He stood up, walked over to the bookcase, picked it for a while, and sat back with a book and a form. He handed the form to Xiahou Ling and asked her to fill out the incident declaration form of the Spirit Record Bureau, and then opened the book and began to look it up.

After a while, Xiahou Ling filled out the form and put it on the coffee table.

"Do you know what Xu Jiarui's parents told her when they came to Yandu?" Xiahoudun suddenly closed the book and asked Xiahouling with a solemn expression.

Xiahou Ling shook her head, "I don't know, I know they seem to have a quarrel, but I don't know the content of the quarrel." ”

Xiahoudun asked again: "Then who is she, and do you know what the family situation is?" ”

"She should be somewhere near Ningdu...... Xiahou Ling thought for a while and said: "I don't know very well, she doesn't talk to us much about family matters, but I heard others say that her family conditions don't seem to be very good." ”

"The family conditions are not very good, are they......" Xiahoudun repeated in a low voice, nodded, and asked Xiahouling: "She had a boyfriend before, right?" ”

"Yes." Xia Houling replied.

Xiahoudun put the book on the coffee table and wiped the tears that were not obvious in the corners of Xiaoling's eyes with his hand, "Then what kind of person is her boyfriend?" ”

"I don't know much about this, Xiaorui didn't bring it out when she came out to play, and she didn't talk to us too much." Xiahou Ling sat there in a daze, but her mood was much more relaxed than before, "But I heard that his boyfriend, no, is an ex-boyfriend, who is very good to her, and the breakup was also proposed by Xiaorui." ”

After listening to his sister's statement, Xiahoudun sighed and said, "Then it shouldn't be caused by her boyfriend......"

"Did you find anything?" Chen Xuan, who was sitting on the side, began to ask questions.

"It's a mind eater!" Xiahoudun looked at Chen Xuan and explained: "This rare spirit is produced from the heart of a person, and it belongs to the soul mutation, which is usually produced by the host body under extreme mental pressure or extremely negative emotions. It devours the essence of the host, and eventually leads to the death of the host due to physical weakness, which can be said to be a mental terminal disease. However, it usually does not harm any living beings outside of the host, unless someone forces it out of the host. ”

Chen Xuan listened to Xiahoudun's explanation, and hurriedly asked, "Then is there any way to get rid of the Mind Eater?" ”

Xiahoudun looked at Chen Xuan with a serious face, and then looked at Xiahou Ling's expectant and anxious eyes on the side, he sighed again, wiped his face with his hands, and replied: "The body is dead......"
