On Xiaoru's white eyes, no pupils can be seen, and the originally delicate and fair immature face has also turned into a blue and purple that only dead people have.

Bright red liquid flowed from her eyes, her messy black hair covered the sides of her cheeks, and she didn't expect anyone to know her name.

An Xuan looked at me in surprise, a shocked expression on his face.

He probably didn't know why I knew the girl's name, but I don't have time to explain it to him now.

"Xiaoru, I know what happened to you, I'm sorry."

I don't know if this is a mouthful? I chose to do it this way, and even I began to think that by doing so, I could influence her.

The tranquility had fallen, and the ritual had been ruined and could not continue.

If I don't do something about it, if I let An Xuan use that black talisman that can destroy souls, everything will be irreparable.

But how could things have been settled so simply?

Sure enough, as I expected, Xiaoru was like a child abandoned by the world, crying there: "You know what, you don't want to kill me!" ”

"Same as those pesky guys!"

Of course I know who she calls the "nasty guy". After looking back at her memories before her death, those children who used her as a shield and a bag of anger, my heart hurt again.

Xiaoru's words were very angry, angry, and even sad, she was like an ordinary child, her words were very childish, unlike some adult resentful spirits, and she could feel their crying blood in every sentence.

All the resentment, under her very simple and immature expression, lost some momentum, but it made me feel even more distressed.

Xiaoru didn't even have a life yet, not to mention being ostracized in the orphanage, and was violently beaten to death by Dean Xu, who had a tendency to abuse children.

This phenomenon is definitely not unique, I dare to believe that all over the world, there will always be some welfare homes, under the false guise of adoption, to give orphans a warm home, but to do some unseemly and heinous atrocities.

"I'm fed up, Xiaoru is fed up, I want to go home, I want mom and dad, woo woo woo."

The black aura rushed up again, and the girl who loved An Xuan was directly knocked to the ground by this black gas, and another piece of yellow paper cracked in half with a "click" and burned.

An Xuan's face instantly turned pale, and he looked at the girl worriedly and glared at me fiercely.

"Don't get in the way, get out!"

But I turned a deaf ear and walked in the direction of Xiaoru.

This move made An Xuan's eyes squint suddenly, and his tone was irresistible with momentum and anger: "Get out!" Don't go near her! ”

I didn't know what was wrong with me, but my body honestly approached the struggling figure.

"Xiaoru, don't be afraid, you are not alone, you still have me, I am here."

I spread my hands and walked towards her.

I know what she wants, what she desires, her wish is very simple, and I can only use this to make her let go of the obsession in her heart about her life.

in order to escape the possibility of soul destruction.

An Xuan was in a hurry now, and he roared: "Are you crazy!" Ronghua! ”

"I know that you suffered a lot of grievances in your life, that bad uncle always beat you and scolded you, and those children also rejected you."

When Xiaoru heard my voice, she stopped crying in an instant, raised her head in disbelief, and looked at me.

The little hands were stained with bloody tears.

As I got closer and closer to her, the familiar feeling of nausea returned, constantly stimulating the nerves in my brain.

The ruby bracelet was also flashing and flickering, and I suddenly stopped, and very decisively took the ruby bracelet off my wrist and placed it on the table next to me.

I endured the nausea that was about to erupt, stepped into the formation, took two steps to the girl who was kneeling on the ground and crying, slowly squatted down, and hugged her.

This is the first time I have embraced a spirit.

In the past, I always thought that the human soul could not be touched, but today, for the first time, I felt the touch of a soul.

So lonely, so sad.

All the emotions of the soul, through her soul, came into my body, my heart.

I could even feel Xiaoru's slightly trembling body, her heartbroken young heart, and her unwillingness to all the tragedies and injustices in her life.

I just hugged her, and regardless of whether she struggled or not, I pressed her head into my arms.

I am an only child, I don't have any siblings, and there are a few distant relatives, but many of them moved out of the small mountain village with their families when they were very young and went to live in different cities.

Gradually, they became estranged and even cut off contact.

So I didn't know how to comfort a little girl, and all I could do at the moment was to hug her and give her a sense of security.

Since she didn't get the excitement she deserved, I'll make it up to her now.

Although I knew that the death qi in her body would have an effect on my little one, I still chose to take off the red jade bracelet to prevent her from being rejected by the jade bracelet's abilities.

So that I can get close to her.

"Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you anymore, now that I am here, I will protect you."

Xiao Ru's eyes widened, and the two hands placed at her side were raised in mid-air, as if she was hesitating to hug me back.

"Really...... Will you really protect me? Don't let Dean Xu beat me, okay, I will definitely not wet the bed in the future. ”

Her words successfully made my tears flow, I nodded solemnly, and said in a choked voice: "Well, Dean Xu will never beat you again, I promise, I swear." ”

After I said this, Xiao Ru hugged my waist with both hands, and the black qi on her body began to magically disappear.

"So warm ......"

She said in a soft voice, and then, she followed: "It's the same as Aunt Mao's hug." ”

My hand touched her hair, hung my head slightly, and said gently: "I will protect you with Aunt Mao in the future." ”

"Xiaoru, you have to believe that there are still people in the world who love you."

I patted her back pityingly, and noticed that the black aura on her body was gradually disappearing, and the color of her skin was gradually fading, no longer the purple-black that it had been at the beginning.

What Xiaoru wants is so simple, she may just want a comfort, a hug, maybe she can let go, and there will not be such a big resentment.

She will not use her ability to force Ye Yao's mother and grandmother to accompany her after she dies.

Ye Yao's mother's age is actually similar to Aunt Mao's, which may be the reason why they were chosen by Xiaoru.

The room was suddenly quiet, and I kept holding Xiaoru, quietly waiting for the black qi on her body to disappear and her soul to become transparent.

But at this moment, the room was already in a mess, and the black hair that had been long and spread all over the room was rapidly shortening.

The floral cloth that was originally stained red with blood was also recovering its original color, and Xiao Ru's soul began to slowly turn transparent, and after a while, her figure disappeared completely.

There is nothing in my bosom.

Suddenly, I felt a pair of weak hands embracing me from behind me, and a soft voice came.

"Sister, thank you."

The ethereal voice faded away along with the invisible hands.

I wiped my tears and said in a trembling voice, "Xiaoru, may you be safe and healthy in the next life." ”

"Well......" she answered, so softly and so softly that I could barely hear her.

Silence soon returned.

It took me a long time to come to my senses.

Looking at the ceramic doll in front of him, which was originally very delicate, at this moment, it had been shattered into pieces. The red floral cloth was torn to shreds by an unknown force.

I lowered my head, picked up pieces of scraps and rags from the ground with my fingers, grabbed them in my hands, and got up.

The moment I turned around, An Xuan and the three of them all looked at me in surprise with a look of disbelief.

Although Ye Yao couldn't see Xiaoru, she should know something from my behavior.

In the end, Ye Yao helped her grandmother to her bedroom to rest, and then carried Ye Yao's mother who had fallen asleep to another room with the little girl.

The little girl of the An family went to take care of An Ning, and no one was here.

An Xuan and the two brothers and I were packing up in the room.

There's a formation drawn on the ground or something, so let's clean it up.

I put on the jade bracelet again, and helped wipe the floor on the side, and the two people next to me had been quietly doing their own, and suddenly, An Xuan asked me, "Why do you know about her?" ”

Another junior from the An family also stopped and looked at me curiously.

I knew what he wanted to ask, and stood up, bending over a towel in the basin to the side.

"It's something I'm capable of."

I washed the towel, squatted back down, and said slowly: "Your An family can exorcise ghosts through rituals, which is the ability passed down from the ancestors of the An family. ”

"And me." I looked at them, and when my eyes met An Xuan, I noticed that his gaze was a little complicated.

"I was able to retrace their memories of what happened to them and what caused them to become evil spirits when they died."

When they heard my words, they both looked surprised.

I looked at them calmly, then went back to mopping the floor.

An Xuan was silent for a while, and it took a long time before he could hold back a sentence.

"You mean, you're able to access their memories when they were alive?"

"Yes."

I nodded, and said truthfully, "If you are forcibly dispersing their resentment and sending them to the underworld, I am finding the source of their resentment and solving it from the root. ”

The boy who hadn't spoken much all this time spoke a little resignedly: "Then won't you be able to change their past?" ”

I glanced at him and curled my lips a little helplessly: "It would be nice if it could really be like this." ”

"I can only be like a bystander, I can only see, I can't implicate myself, I can't change it, because that's against the common sense of the world."

An Xuan kept looking at me, with a flickering light in his eyes.

He knew that this kind of problem of finding a solution to the root cause was indeed more curative than their use of ritual to forcibly exorcise demons.

However, An Xuan also understands that the person who undertakes this job needs a very strong heart.

Anyone who becomes an evil ghost, who has not suffered some tragic thing in his lifetime, will make them unwilling to die for a long time, and even give up on themselves, so that their souls will be willing to degenerate into evil ghosts.

It's okay to let others relive those tragic things once or twice, but over time, people who use this ability regularly will definitely be under more psychological pressure than they are overloaded.

He sighed, when he was traveling, he had been told by a very powerful exorcist abroad.

If a person is very capable and strong, then he must have lost a lot.

Only the more you lose, the more you will gain, and there will be gains if you lose.

He kind of understood the meaning of this sentence.
