Chapter 262: Her Face
What is this doing? Star Swirl was confused when she saw a painful look on the little girl's face, her facial features twisted together, and a fine layer of sweat oozing from her forehead.
The gray-robed man's fingers kept rubbing a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads, and he had words in his mouth.
Even if she was just sharing the girl's memories at the moment, Star Swirl could feel a chill suddenly grow behind her. It was as if the temperature had suddenly dropped by a few degrees, and the atmosphere in the room had become more and more eerie.
As if they had entered another dimension, Room 703 seemed to be detached from the outside world, not only the temperature dropped, but even the hue of the surrounding environment gradually faded, and finally turned gray.
The little girl's eyes were closed, but beneath the thin layer of eyelids, her eyeballs kept rolling, and her lips trembled slightly.
"Qinqin..."The woman's pale face at the moment couldn't tell whether it was worry or fear.
A gray-black mist emerged from the top of the girl's head, and at first it seemed like a wisp of green smoke floating above. After a moment, when all the black qi condensed together, its outline could be faintly discerned.
A woman with long loose hair.
With heavy footsteps, he walked towards the door step by step. She walked in a strange way, as if her entire body had long since fallen apart, and her arms and legs were reassembled in a strange posture.
"Don't you have to open the door?" The woman asked in a trembling voice while holding the child.
The gray-robed man shook his head, motioning for her to stop making any more noise.
Sure enough, hearing the woman speak, the black shadow suddenly paused, and its neck twisted back stiffly, making a strange "creaking" sound.
"Close your eyes! Don't look! The gray-robed man snorted, and a rune flew in front of him and landed on the long-haired woman's blurred face impartially.
"Uh... The dark shadow rolled in its throat and let out a low wail, followed by a sharp cry as if enraged.
The woman huddled in the corner of the room with her child in her arms, she protected the child tightly, but she couldn't help but open her eyes slightly open a slit.
At that glance, it seemed as if the heartbeat was about to stop immediately. On that gray-black face, the facial features are clearly displayed, a face that is no longer familiar.
The woman immediately closed her eyes and did not dare to look again. This short half minute is as long as the entire century.
"It's over." The gray-robed man let out a long breath, and his face showed a bit of fatigue.
The woman cautiously opened her eyes and quickly looked down at the child in her arms, her eyes were still closed, there was no longer any painful expression on her face, and her breathing became very even.
And the dark shadow was completely gone.
"Master, just... What's that? The woman asked, leaning against her chest.
"Angry spirits," the gray-robed man handed to the woman with a stack of rune papers, "They tend to choose weak-willed bodies to possess, and you should put these runes away so that they don't come back to you." ”
"Looking for me?!" The woman's face was full of consternation.
"Didn't you just glance at that thing?"
"I didn't mean to! Master, you can't go! Please help me! The woman grabbed the corner of the gray robe in horror, as if grasping at the last straw.
"I've broken my vitality today, and this spirit is extremely difficult to deal with. I warned you not to read it just now, it's too late to say anything. The man waved her hand away and walked out of the room without looking back.
After that, the little girl wakes up, and Star Swirl stops sharing memories and looks at Bai Xiaohan thoughtfully.
"How?" The three of them asked in unison.
"Teacher Bai, do you often deal with those mysterious supernatural phenomena?"
"Speak human words!" Lu Jingfan didn't wait for Bai Xiaohan to answer, he was already a little impatient.
"What do you see in shared memories is weird?" Thinking of those "props" in the woman's room, Bai Xiaohan was not surprised.
"What I saw was a scene that resembled the practice of a master of the Enlightenment...", Star Swirl recounted the shared memories to the three of them.
"It seems that you can't let them go easily," Bai Xiaohan sighed, "It's really a disappointment to have to deal with this kind of incident in a good leisure time." ”
"You can just leave it alone." Lu Jingfan said.
"I'm not as cold-blooded as you." Bai Xiaohan smiled faintly and walked out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Lu Jingfan shouted at her back.
"Find an excuse to keep them all."
Lu Jingfan snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Now, I just want to go home early." ”
"What's the point of going back to your kennel?" Mr. X was not displeased by the displeasure of being swept away, and he was completely in a posture of staying to watch the show.

In the lobby of the hotel, the couple, who were planning to leave at noon, made a loud noise when they learned that they were going to be left here.
"What reason do you have to keep us here?" The woman stiffened her neck and stared at Bai Xiaohan.
"Comrade policeman, we have something important to do and we must rush back to K City today. Why don't I leave a phone call for you, and come back to me if you have anything. The man was much friendlier than his wife, but he wanted to leave the hotel as soon as possible.
"That's right, we investigated that there were two suspicious people who met on the rooftop of the hotel in the early hours of this morning, and they are likely the suspects we have been looking for." Bai Xiaohan said.
The man's face immediately changed: "What... Suspect? He tried his best to calm his emotions, but his fingers were already trembling slightly.
"The facts of the case are complicated, and it is not convenient to disclose them at this time. We will do our best to make up for the losses that you may cause. If you have something important at home, you may wish to let me know, and I will let my colleagues in K City take care of it first. ”
Hearing Bai Xiaohan say this, the couple was silent for a long time.
In the end, it was the woman who spoke first, "Then how long are you going to investigate here?" Tomorrow is a working day, and absenteeism will result in a deduction of wages! ”
"Rest assured, you will be answered within tomorrow. We will also compensate for your losses. After Bai Xiaohan emphasized once again to compensate for the loss, the woman finally reluctantly agreed to her request.
And the room fee for this night was naturally counted on the heads of Bai Xiaohan and his party.
"Hmph, no one will reimburse you for this money." Lu Jingfan is still haunted.
"Okay, count it on me." Bai Xiaohan said with a smile.
"What about mother and daughter?" Star Swirl cares more about the little girl.
"I've convinced them to stay one more night." Bai Xiaohan replied.
"Did you use the same rhetoric?"
"No, I told the woman directly, the wraith hasn't left yet."
