Chapter 257: Emei
"What's behind that abandoned factory?" Star Swirl stared into Deer Kingfan's eyes, knowing he had the answer in his mind.
Lu Jingfan shuddered, gritted his teeth, and refused to reveal half a word.
"It's the burial ground of the Oemer." After Mr. X said lightly, Lu Jingfan's pupils suddenly constricted, and he immediately covered his ears and refused to listen to this taboo topic anymore.
"The Emer... Who is it? Star Swirl asked, confused, as she remembered the ceramic photograph embedded in the tombstone.
"More than 70 years ago, she was a very famous beauty here, but she died in her early twenties, and she was buried there." Mr. X has no taboos and tells the story of the life of the owner of the tombstone.
"How did she die?"
It is said that at that time, she signed a contract with a foreign record company, and the company promised to release a record for her, but later it is not clear what the reason was, the company terminated the contract with her, and the record was not released. It didn't take long for the news to spread that she had committed suicide at home. ”
Despite her age, she is also a girl who dreams of becoming a star, which is how Star Swirl thinks of Frost and Honey.
"But, why did Ye Shuang and the others go to the cemetery of the Emei people to make a wish?"
"It's all rumors, according to legend, Emei died because of regrets, and her soul lingered in the world for a long time, if she is lucky enough to be chosen, she can fulfill a wish."
Star Swirl glanced at Deer Jingfan, and roughly understood his thoughts, "So, you're cursed to step into that graveyard?" ”
Mr. X shook his head: "Only those who make a wish will pay a certain price. ”
"So Ye Shuang suffered a car accident and survived because she was the only one who didn't make a wish." Star Swirl concluded, "And then she told Blau the secret?" ”
"I don't think it was Ye Shuang who told Xiao Hi." A hint of coldness flashed in his blue eyes.
"Yes," Star Swirl pondered, "Frost understands the price of making a wish, and if she deliberately tells Hiccup, it would be too much..."
"It's despicable!" Lu Jingfan took over and said angrily.
"Oh?" Mr. X glanced at him, "You've finally figured out the key?" ”
"It's the agent who killed a thousand knives, he should be killed!" There was a hint of murder in Deer's dark eyes, and Star Swirl knew he wasn't joking or angry.
When I returned to my apartment after the infusion, it was late at night.
Although the discomfort had lessened, the tiredness quickly dragged Star Swirl into her dreams.
She felt that there was not a soft cot beneath her, but a barren meadow behind an abandoned factory. The weeds grew frantically longer and longer, piercing her body until it burrowed into the bones and turned into sharp saws, sawing her body into a dozen pieces, bleeding profusely...
In her dreams and in reality, she could feel a piercing ache all over her body. She struggled to wake up from her dream, but no matter what, she couldn't break through the wrapping of the dream.
"Star Swirl... Star Swirl... Star Swirl..."
Who was whispering her name.
The surrounding scene suddenly becomes a dark and empty stage. A bright light shone on Star Swirl's face, and when she looked down, she was wearing a sparkling dress covered in sequins, which was both exaggerated and retro.
And in the audience across the stage, there was only one audience member waving a light stick in his hand, and that person turned out to be Emeiren!
"Why are you in my dreams?"
"Because, I helped you make your wish come true, how can you thank me?" The beauty's hazy eyes were full of a touch of melancholy.
"When did I make a wish?" Star Swirl's eyelids jumped, and she felt some fragments of her memory emerge clearly.
A note was stuffed into the "Wishing Gate", and the note read: I want to bring my sister back to life.
---
The next morning, Star Swirl awoke from her hazy sleepiness, still experiencing soreness.
The cupboard at the bedside had been warmed a few days ago, and the sound of muffled conversation came in intermittently from the living room.
"So Xiao Xiao's agent is currently the most suspected, and the possibility of Ye Shuang's collaboration is not impossible..."
"But, I can't figure out why that guy came to you to assess Xiao Hi's mental condition?"
"He never said this, and I doubt very much that he was instructed to do so..."
"Bccup didn't commit suicide?!" Star Swirl slammed open the bedroom door.
After the three people sitting in the hall quickly exchanged glances, Bai Xiaohan replied: "The results of the autopsy show that he killed and committed suicide at the scene. And, we took the broker's fingerprints on the spot. ”
Her brain then fell into chaos, "Then has she ever been to the Wishing Gate of the Emei?" ”
"We don't know that. Most likely, it is a front for a broker. ”
"No... I saw Xiao Xiao's name on the tombstone of the Emei people, and Ye Shuang's name! And..."And your own name? A thunderbolt suddenly exploded in his brain.
"What else?" Mr. X asked.
"No, nothing." Star Swirl pursed her pale lips and shook her head.
"Your face is not very good, do you want to go and rest for a while?" Bai Xiaohan asked.
Star Swirl said "um" and silently walked back to the bedroom.
Her mind was in a mess, when she wrote down her wishes, and when she saw her name on the tombstone, reality and dreams, it was no longer clear.
Bai Xiaohan's voice came from behind him: "By the way, the couple in the last case about Han Yi really had a child. ”
"What?" Star Swirl immediately turned around, "Is it a boy?" ”
"That's right, according to what they said, the child had some kind of mental problem when he was very young, so he was kept at home all the year round."
"Mental problems... Is it serious? Star Swirl remembered the dark eyes.
"It's a bit serious, there is a certain danger, and he should have been locked up in a psychiatric hospital, but then his mother couldn't bear it and took him back home."
"But why didn't you see him this time?"
"Yes, it was said that they jumped off the balcony once, but luckily they were on the second floor at the time, and the kid didn't fall and hurt himself. But since then, no trace of him has been found. ”
"It's hard for a teenager to survive outside, right?" Star Swirl pondered.
"It's not so much that I can't find it, but I don't really look for it." Lu Jingfan pursed his lips, "I got rid of such a big burden, and I probably was stealing joy in my heart." ”
"Perhaps." Bai Xiaohan shrugged his shoulders, "I'm resting today, why don't you go to relax?" ”
"You're finally willing to rest! I thought you were so addicted to work that you didn't have time to have fun. Lu Jingfan was refreshed, "Where to go, let me think, resort villa?" What about hot springs? ”
Mr. X's gaze falls on Star Swirl, and she notices that she is visibly distracted, with a complicated expression on her slightly pale little face.
