July 1993

The rain was sparse and rainy, and it rained for three days in a row, as if he was crying for someone.

In a windowless room, there were a few candles lit in the corner, and even if the candles were dim, they didn't make the newly awake girl on the floor look better.

Her face was extremely pale, her eyes revealed horror, her memory was still in that dark alley, she moved, she found that somewhere in her body was extremely painful, the fear made her want to vomit, she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe, because she seemed to understand what was wrong with her, her tears couldn't be controlled, she wanted to die, she didn't notice when she cried, there was still a man standing in the room.

The candle flame struck the man's shadow against the wall.

"You're awake!" Even though the voice was gentle, it still made the girl shrink in fright.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you almost died, I rescued you."

"Why did you save me?" The girl's tears were dripping quickly from her jaw.

The girl suddenly remembered something and panicked, "I, I can't die, what time is it?" Grandma, grandma, she's still waiting for me, she's having an asthma attack, she's waiting for medicine. ”

She swept through the room, looking for the door, but there seemed to be no door in this room.

She was even more frightened, and turned her gaze back to the man.

The light was too dim to see the man's face.

"You've been asleep for three days, and your grandmother has died."

The girl couldn't believe it, she cried even more, "You liar, you liar, why did you save me, why!" ”

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and have a look."

The girl was confused and had a lot of questions in her mind.

"Where's the door?"

The man pointed faintly in one direction.

The girl endured the pain and was about to get up.

"Will you come back to me? I can give you eternal life. ”

The girl froze, she didn't understand what it meant.

"I'm going to call the police, I'm going to get the bad guys punished."

The man burst out laughing.

"Do you know how old the people who defiled you are? They are all minors, and they will be in prison for a few years at most, or even just a lighter punishment, and they can still live in style after they come out, but what about you? Can you? Can you get them to be punished for real? ”

The girl hid her face and cried bitterly, no matter how hard she was in the past, at least there was her grandmother, but now she is extremely weak, powerless, and helpless, so that she has no courage to live

"I can't, I might as well let me die."

"Hahaha, don't run away, although you don't have the ability to punish the bad guys for the time being, but I can, I can make these bad guys fly into the ashes and annihilate, and let you have eternal life."

The girl heard correctly, she silently said in her heart, "What is eternal life?" ”

I don't know if it was because of the shaking of the flames, the girl didn't notice that the man's shadow became distorted on the wall at the moment.

Beihan No. 3 Middle School

After evening self-study, Yuan Huaxing still couldn't help but go up to the fourth floor, she broke her own rules, that was her own set, don't go up to the fourth floor, don't entangle, don't let Chen Xiao hate her more, don't make yourself sleepless.

But the information brought by the young policeman in the evening made her completely forget about it.

She thought that Chen Xiao was obviously the one who was bullied, but she was implicated because of Zhuo Yixuan's death.

Being suspected, she must be uncomfortable, what Chen Xiao needs is someone to stand with her.

It's not that he wants her to be moved, but Yuan Huaxing doesn't want Chen Xiao to bear it alone.

Yuan Huaxing didn't forget what she had said to Chen Xiao, whether it was to protect her or to treat her better, although these words, after Chen Xiao didn't accept her, were meaningless, she still decided to go to her, even though she knew that she was going to suffer some blows, but she still went to the fourth floor.

However!

Chen Xiao is not there again.

Yuan Huaxing couldn't describe her mood at the moment, all kinds of tastes were in it, and she lost her appetite in an instant, so she decided not to eat dinner.

How did Chen Xiao get used to skipping dinner? Thinking so, she unconsciously came to the playground.

A particularly bright star hung low in the western sky, and a lonely figure stood beneath the canopy.

The winter air was dry and cold, as if time was frozen, and she looked at the very bright star, she was Chen Xiao.

Yuan Huaxing saw her, walked over, and walked to her side.

Chen Xiao didn't expect it to be Yuanhuaxing, she just walked for a while, she no longer looked at the star.

"That's Taibai Star, that is, Venus, the appearance of this time period is also called Chang Gung, and the appearance of early morning is called Qiming."

When Yuan Huaxing finished speaking, Chen Xiao turned his face sideways and finally looked at her.

In the poorly lit darkness, Chen Xiao could only see some outlines of Yuan Huaxing's face, the bridge of his nose, and the starlight shining in his eyes.

Yuan Huaxing continued, not turning his head.

"It has been said before that among the stars, there will be such a brightest star, which is the guide of life, through the unknown darkness."

After speaking, she looked at Chen Xiao gently.

"I can be this star, maybe I can't show you the way, but I can walk with you through that darkness."

Yuan Huaxing's firm gaze, sincere tone, and sincere words made Chen Xiao at a loss.

She adjusted her breathing, not letting her emotions dominate her reason.

"We're still the same as before, can't we just be friends?"

Chen Xiao was still weighing, and there was some silence in the air again.

Yuan Huaxing smiled lightly and bitterly, she would not let herself cry at this time, she was ready for this, because in front of this person, vulnerability would only be more ridiculous.

"You hate me so much? Or did you never think I was who I was at all? ”

The pain in Yuan Huaxing's eyes made her unable to look directly at Chen Xiao, and she looked into the distance again, looking like she was about to be indifferent.

These words actually pierced Chen Xiao's heart.

But what could hurt more than silence?

"I know that Zhuo Yixuan's death must have nothing to do with you, you have to take care more, if one person can't survive, I hope you can think of me and that star."

Yuan Huaxing left, and this sentence made Chen Xiao's heart unable to calm down again.

When the campus was quiet, the playground disappeared into darkness, and even the bright star in the west disappeared without a trace.

Chen Xiao was in the bedroom, thinking about the day's events, and when she went to the Public Security Bureau to ask, she was guessing whether Uncle Hai had been discovered by the Public Security Bureau?

If Uncle Hai is known to the world, then her identity will also be exposed, will people like them be bloodily announced to the world? What about being criticized by the world and causing them to panic?

Someone knocked lightly on the door, Chen Xiao came back to his senses, and it was Aunt Wan who knocked on the door.

"Aunt Wan."

Aunt Wan closed the door and asked.

"The police came to you today and asked something? Why didn't you report back to me in time? Aunt Wan had a hint of reproach in her tone.

Because of her emotional turmoil, Chen Xiao was indeed a little absent-minded, and she did not report the situation to Aunt Wan in time.

"I'm sorry Aunt Wan, I'll report to you now.

The public security bureau took me to the bureau in the morning for questioning, because two people died, one was a female classmate who used to bully me, and the other was a gangster who blocked me in the alleyway, but I don't know what happened to the death of these two people. ”

"Chen Xiao, I found that you are a child with your own ideas, although you are a novice, but this task is personally assigned to you by the director, if you always can't report in time and delay something, you will be responsible."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

"Did they ask you about Uncle Hai?"

"I didn't ask, and I didn't say much, but the female classmate who died, I guess, should have done it by Uncle Hai."

Aunt Wan sighed lightly, "If it has something to do with Hu Haizong, then if you continue to investigate like this, you will definitely be suspected, I have to go back and report it first, otherwise you will be in trouble."

I'll go first, you act carefully and report in time. ”

With that, Aunt Wan pulled the door and went out.

Chen Xiao was thoughtful, looked up and looked out the window again, she calculated in her heart, there were still more than 2 months before Yuan Huaxing's birthday.

Seven Horizontal Street in the suburbs

Yuanyou has been busy recently, and although Luo Baifan is still worried about the affairs of the special case team, he also needs help to analyze.

In addition, the barbecue restaurant also has to be dealt with, and he has not yet gone to the field to investigate.

And the new home I bought also had to take a little pains.

It's already night, and he is still at home on Qiheng Street, packing some things in case of emergency.

The big package he used for Yu Hui last time was still in a corner, and he pulled it a few times, intending to pack it up.

When he picked up a black vial, he suddenly remembered something.

This little black bottle contains a remnant soul, which came out of the broken five-sided thunder talisman when it was over Yu Hui, and I don't know which unlucky ghost it is.

Yuan You felt compassion, walked to the shelf by the wall, picked up a small jar with a yellow cloth pressed from it, and then took a white ash and a few things, walked to the table, and put these things down.

Removing the yellow cloth pressed on the mouth of the jar, Yuan Youli grabbed a soul-attracting talisman with his sword fingers, and led the remnant soul in the sealing talisman bottle into the small jar, and then pressed it with a yellow cloth, sealed the side mouth with white wax, and inserted something like a funnel on the yellow cloth above the jar.

This thing has brown and red stripes on the outside, three red and seven brown, the big square mouth is facing up, and there are some strange symbols painted in the bucket, a silk thread hangs on the square mouth, and copper bells fall at both ends of the silk thread.

This is an ancient method of gathering souls, which is transformed from the production method of soul-attracting incense, and the stripes on it are made of peach wood powder and red nitrate powder, which can have the effect of calming the soul.

Because I don't know who the remnant soul is, there is no eight characters in the soul conjuring, so I can only use this method to slowly try to gather the soul, come back one, the bell rings once, and the brown and red stripes drop off randomly, and when the collection is complete, the stripes are gone, and you can exceed.

Yuanyou was properly placed, and was about to turn around, but Yu Guang saw a thing in the corner of the shelf, which was also wrapped in a yellow cloth, it was a powerful magic weapon, and it had not been touched for a long time.

Somewhere in a stone chamber

The white-robed man stared at the clock hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, the clock seemed to be broken, and its second hand was moving backwards.

The white-robed man stared at him with great curiosity, and he said to the black-robed woman standing behind him, "This watch is pretending to go back in time, haha, hahahahaha." He laughed quite happily, but suddenly the laughter stopped abruptly, and his tone suddenly became gloomy.

"Let you be careful, you have to be assertive, they can find Chen Xiao, they can find you, and..."

He didn't finish speaking, because the woman's body trembled slightly in the black robe, and she may have felt some regret for her mistake, and the white-robed man didn't know if he would think so.

The white-robed man continued.

"You don't have to panic, I'll deal with this matter, you go down!"

The black-robed woman hesitated for a moment, but finally turned to leave.

After the white-robed man saw her leave, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Time passed in the middle of the night, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye.

The annual final exam is always staged before the holidays, especially when the winter vacation is approaching, this exam is particularly important.

Because after the exam, the Spring Festival is coming, and the level of the score determines whether the students can have a comfortable New Year, after all, when the family goes to the house, those boring adults always like to rank the topics of the children's exams in the first place.

Nowadays, most of the students in the school are working hard to review the memorization questions and strive to get good grades.

And Yuan Huaxing's mood has not been high recently, that is, he doesn't memorize questions, he doesn't review, except for finishing the papers, the rest of the time is either sleeping or in a daze.

Xu Junfang told Yuan Huaxing that the old building was about to be renovated, and he planned to move to the old building to live in the New Year, but Yuan Huaxing didn't carefully inquire about which room he lived in, and she didn't know why, she always felt weird in her heart, because this old building really didn't look like a person who could live in it.
