Chapter 8: The Admirer of Death
Nanzhou Drama University Baijing Garden.
As twilight approaches, groups of couples go to the birch forest to cool off after having a meal at the Hundred Gardens cafeteria. Nanju is known locally as a "forest-style" university because there are small patches of forests like this on campus.
Since the accident in Cuiwei Mountain, many students have sounded the alarm bell, feeling that it is not peaceful outside, and they dare not go out at night. A couple of lovers enjoy the lake and mountains under the sunset, the pavilion is in the wind, the mountains and the sea vows, so uncomfortable and happy.
On a secluded bench in the garden, a man and a woman sat with their hands on their heads, and the woman sighed and regretted again and again, and those who didn't know thought that the young man was breaking up over a trivial matter.
But they weren't a couple.
Li Youyi sat on the side and was uneasy, she was not very good at talking by nature, and she didn't know how to comfort this person who was deep in love at the moment.
Not long ago, Han Yongyi and the campus gangsters were about to repair Li Youyi, and Chen Yan pretended to be a ghost in the back to scare the gang away. However, before Li Youyi could say thank you, Chen Yan knelt down first.
Chen Yan is a popular figure in Southern Opera, and his girlfriend is Wei Xue, the campus goddess who has been missing for nearly a year.
Li Youyi didn't expect to run into him there, but when she saw Chen Yan coming up, she didn't say a word, so she knelt down for Li Youyi and begged her to bring her to see someone.
Li Youyi thought he was thinking that Wei Xue was crazy, but the police couldn't do it, how could he know where Wei Xue was? Unexpectedly, what Chen Yan said later surprised her.
Chen Yan: Please take me to the Grim Reaper.
Youyi Lee: Huh? You repeat?
Chen Yan: I repeat, I want to see death.
Youyi Lee: Are you talking to me?
Chen Yan: I am a person who is chased by demons for my life, and only Death and his black angels can save me.
Youyi Lee: ...... Are you really okay? I'd better take you to the school hospital. However, there seems to be a lot of people in the psychological counseling room, so you have to make an appointment in advance.
Chen Yan: I'm not a psychopath, why don't you believe me.
Youyi Lee: No, I'm worried about what you're doing stupidly.
Chen Yan: Wei Xue and I have embarked on a road of no return. She and I are both puppets pulled by the thread of death, so proud and yet so vulnerable. Death has taken my soul, and the empty shell of my flesh remains in the world only to suffer endless torment.
Li Youyi: Your line skills are really good.
Chen Yan: If you still have the heart, please take me to the Grim Reaper.
Youyi Lee: I don't know whose surname is dead. You are crazy. I have to go.
Chen Yan: My heart is a hanging piano, and when I touch it, it will tinkle. For me, death is a sweet temptation, and it is a paradise for me and Wei Xue.
Youyi Lee: I've seen this sentence in textbooks. Are you a secondary school offender?
Chen Yan: What is that, I only have lovesickness. If you're willing to help me, I can trade my soul for you.
Youyi Lee: What is the soul? Didn't you just say that death has taken your soul? Besides, what do I want your soul for? You're sick in the second middle school, and sure enough, your nerves are no longer normal.
Chen Yan: Do you know the weight of the soul?
Youyi Lee: Isn't the soul your mental activity? Where does the weight come from.
Chen Yan: Big mistake. Someone has done experiments that when a human dies, water and gas will be released from the body, and after deducting these factors, the weight of the human body before and after death is recalculated, and the difference between the front and back is 35 grams, and there is no difference between fat and thin. These experiments confirmed that the soul is attached to the body and belongs to a substance. Since it is a substance, it will have a certain weight, and the weight of the soul should be thirty-five grams.
Youyi Lee: I haven't heard of it. I've seen a movie called "21 Grams".
Chen Yan: Death takes away the soul that belongs to him, young and old. I weighed yesterday and I was 35 grams younger than I was last year. I'm already a soulless person.
Youyi Lee: The error of 35 grams may be the acceleration of your up and down.
Chen Yan: Everyone dances with death.
Youyi Lee: Oh, these are the lyrics of the German musical Elisabeth, which your professor also taught?
Chen Yan: Why do you always talk about him? Take me to the Grim Reaper, I can't wait.
Youyi Lee: Are you really crazy? Wei Xue's business, you really don't want to drill the horns.
Chen Yan: What I dream of is to be able to love her in complete freedom. Now my dream will soon come true, but I have found that love can never be satisfied, because love is born of eternal hatred. Please help me and take me to death! In the next life, I will repay you as a roundworm in your belly.
Youyi Lee: Please stop saying disgusting things, okay?
Chen Yan: Sure enough, people are arrogant and selfish. You won't help me.
Youyi Lee: What is the Grim Reaper? Is this a person's nickname? I think you're in a very unstable state right now. You want to do something stupid, I can't sit idly by.
Chen Yan: You don't have to lie to me, the thing on your wrist has betrayed your lie.
Youyi Lee: The birthmark on my wrist was born.
Chen Yan: I have yin and yang eyes, and my sixth sense tells me that they are the traces of the kiss of death.
Li Youyi: Bah, I've been unlucky enough lately, I'm always in a trance, can you stop cursing me?
Chen Yan: You've been adored by the Grim Reaper—I really envy you. If only you would give me a little bit of this favor.
Youyi Lee: You're such a madman! I don't care about you anymore!
Chen Yan: One day you will understand. If you remember me at that time, please put a bouquet of white roses in front of my and Wei Xue's graves.
Li Youyi and Chen Yan chatted straight from dusk and sunset to the stars, Chen Yan spoke upside down, and from time to time he introduced his novel theories, which made Li Youyi's mind a mess.
This poor guy is so infatuated, and his infatuation with Wei Xue is almost to the point of going crazy. Last year, Wei Xue disappeared inexplicably, he may have died, he may have been imprisoned, Chen Yan couldn't accept it at all, and his spirit has been abnormal since then. For this reason, his father also specially found him a private psychiatrist, but it was of no use at all.
This time, his father spent a lot of money to invite a hypnotist from the United States to conduct "hypnosis" therapy for him, but he didn't want him to sneak out of the house, stay at school and never go home.
The conjuring of spirits two days ago has caused an uproar in the school, and this time Chen Yan found Li Youyi intentionally or unintentionally, asking her to take him to the Grim Reaper, and claimed that the Grim Reaper had taken his soul, and only when he died could he reunite with Wei Xue.
Li Youyi felt that he had signs of major depression, but she always felt that this person who behaved strangely really knew something, and his words did not seem to be completely groundless.
Chen Yan didn't look for others, but only found Li Youyi, who he didn't know. Coincidentally, Li Youyi herself has seen a strange black shadow from time to time since she was a child.
That black shadow had just appeared in the shoreline bar, and then took Sun Sixi's life.
Could it be that in this world, there is really a magical magnetic field that allows the living to see the "Grim Reaper"?
