The night is long, but the road ahead seems to be endless, and there is no end in sight.

From Granny Xue's house until now, I have not been able to return to a normal state, I only feel that there is no warmth in my body, and it is as cold as an ice sculpture.

In the quiet carriage, only the slight snoring sound of Luo Chenhui on the back seat could be heard, he cried like a child for a long, long time before he barely fell asleep, even if he was frightened and overly tired to fall asleep at this moment, he could still hear his low sobs from time to time, which sounded very pitiful.

He is only 19 years old this year, just a freshman in college, he lost his parents in a car accident when he was a child, he was raised by his grandmother, and his grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other for their lives, and they are about to embark on the road of happiness and create a new life. And he didn't deserve such a disaster, but how could he accept that he lost his only loved one overnight?

Thinking of this, my originally calm mood stirred again, and I couldn't help but turn sideways and ask Ling Kai, who had been driving quietly, with a trace of irrepressible anger, "You say, could tonight's incident not be man-made?" Will...... Is that kind of thing? ”

The words I blurted out at Granny Xue's house before didn't go through my brain, and I regret it at the moment. After all, Ling Kai didn't know Guo Lin, and he didn't see Guo Lin who "came back from the dead" with his own eyes like me, so he didn't understand that tonight's incident was not man-made, and I didn't know how to make people believe that there were really "ghosts" and "evil spirits" in this world.

However, Ling Kai seemed to understand what I meant, glanced at me slightly, and replied, "It should just be murder, you think too much." ”

Murder? I was stunned for a moment, and then I was hit by a strong wave of anger in my brain, and I couldn't help but laugh, "Murder? What kind of bandit is so cruel? And Granny Xue is not a rich man, they did not hesitate to risk their lives to rob an old lady in her sixties? And so much trouble to ...... her ...... her. I was stuck there with the rest of the words, there was no way to express it in words, I just felt that I had never been so angry, so angry that every inch of my blood was expanding and boiling, as if I was being roasted in the flames, and the coldness had long since disappeared.

Probably my expression was overly excited, Ling Kai slowly stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, he first glanced back at the sleeping Luo Chenhui, and after making sure that he was not disturbed by my uncontrolled volume, he glanced at me and motioned for us to get out of the car and talk again.

I watched him get out of the car and reached out to smooth out his violently heaving chest before following him out.

We just stopped in the middle of the riverbank bridge into the south of the city, in order to appease Luo Chenhui who was like a wounded beast, it took a lot of effort, and waited outside the house for the police to come and record a statement, so tossing and turning to three o'clock in the middle of the night, at this moment back to the south of the city, it was nearly four o'clock The sky was getting darker and darker, although the drizzle had stopped, but still did not feel the slightest warmth, it was only the weather of late autumn, but it made people feel that it had entered winter.

Standing by the bridge, the cold wind was blowing, my excitement calmed down slightly, and I tightened my coat slightly, and I looked at Ling Kai.

He stood on the edge of the bridge railing, with his hands behind his back, looking at the long Ming River under his feet, the river was deep and silent, just like his current eyes, he couldn't see the light and shade clearly, and he couldn't distinguish the depth.

"In this world, there are many things that we can't explain, and we can't tell right from wrong. But good people will eventually have good rewards, bad people have their own evil consequences, and the cycle of life and death is order, so don't mind. ”

He said it lightly, as if a human life was not enough to worry about. Granny Xue's tragic death was her retribution and her way back, so don't you mind?

I couldn't help but be annoyed, and couldn't help but ask, "Then according to what you mean, Granny Xue should die, right?" Because she's a bad person, she deserves such retribution, right? ”

"That's not what I meant." His voice was still deep, and his expression couldn't see joy or anger, "It's just to advise you not to mind too much, this matter has nothing to do with you, and someone will get rid of the wicked." ”

Will the wicked be removed? What if it is not "man" who does evil?

I took a breath of cold air, only to feel an indescribable sadness and helplessness all over my body, yes, even if I knew that Granny Xue might not be harmed by "people", but what could I do? She is a goddess herself, but she is still miserable at home, and the reason is only because she helped me do a ritual a week ago.

As for why I firmly believe that Guo Lin did it, first, Granny Xue helped me do the rituals, and second, the pair of blood-colored eyes I saw when I entered her house last night, just like the young boys and girls I saw in the "sad bar" that night, they were all controlled by Guo Lin with such eyes, so I can conclude that Granny Xue was killed by her, otherwise who would have done this to an old woman in her sixties? Who would torture an ordinary person with such brutal means?

However, there is no evidence for this, and I cannot explain it to anyone, let alone say it to the police when I record a statement, after all, it is something that is acceptable within the scope of non-human cognition, how can I say it? Could it be that a "ghost" did it?

Seeing that I no longer spoke, Ling Kai lowered his eyes slightly, and only said after a while, "Go back." ”

I didn't look at him, turned around and slowly got into the car, and by the way, I glanced at Luo Chenhui, who was asleep but trembled from time to time due to overstimulation, and felt indescribably uncomfortable.

On the way back, we didn't have any other communication, but we were still a little worried about Luo Chenhui, afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept the reality after waking up, and that he would do something stupid.

Therefore, after the car stopped in the community, none of us got out of the car, and we all sat in silence until the light of the sky broke through the darkness little by little, tearing the sky, and the southern city gradually brightened up, and everything returned to life.

"Grandma, grandma......." A car roar outside the community woke up Luo Chenhui, and he woke up in the call, but his body couldn't stop trembling.

"Are you alright?" Ling Kai and I turned back at about the same time, and I asked him first.

Luo Chenhui glanced at the carriage with those confused eyes, as if observing the surrounding environment, before turning his gaze to us.

When he swept past Ling Kai, he didn't react, and when he landed on my face, his pupils suddenly focused, as if he had found some prey, and his body rose up like an arrow, and suddenly stretched out his arms and grabbed my neck.

It was so fast and so fast that we couldn't react at all.

By the time my mind caught up with his movements, I felt a sharp pain in my throat, as if I had been stuck by a sharp iron tong, which did not give me room to breathe at all, causing me to be temporarily deprived of oxygen, my eyes were a little bloodshot, and my body was unconsciously stiff as iron.
