17. The spirit of the red candle
I didn't eat a drop of water for three days, and I didn't feel a little hungry, but Liangchi boiled a pot of porridge for me and told me to eat something before I could do things. I looked at his earnest gaze and nodded slightly. And he was relieved to take care of himself.
The glass sliding door reflects my figure, in just three days, I have lost a lot of weight, the facial contours are more and more obvious, the eyes are more and more prominent, the cold breath emanates from the body, maybe it is an illusion in a trance, I feel more and more strange, and even feel more and more like the red candle of my previous life.
I hurriedly lowered my head, even though this was to cover my ears and steal the bell, but I still didn't dare to look at my shadow again, I didn't know what I was afraid of, this inexplicable panic made me feel helpless.
When Liangchi came out, I had already drunk a bowl of porridge, although his face was still a little haggard, but it was much better than before, I stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, he strode to my side again and took the things in my hand, and there was no emotion in his tone: "I'll come." I've already called Cang Fall just now and explained the situation to him, and now it's almost time to go. ”
I responded briefly, thought about it, and said to him softly: "I don't blame you for the big dog being taken away, really." ”
Liangchi's body was slightly stunned, and soon returned to normal, with a bitter smile on his face: "Well, I know." ”
I didn't know what else to say, so I retreated to the living room in silence. Tiredness hit, and I don't know when I closed my eyes......
In fact, I should have understood that the dream about the memories of the red candle was over, and her remaining memories should have vanished in the remnants of Qingmo to me, but I still had a trace of illusion, trying to rely on what she left to become stronger, like a poor and shameless bloodsucker.
"You're looking for me."
A faint and familiar voice sounded in the darkness, but I had never been so calm, just stood there and whispered "hmm".
In the darkness that I could not see, a red light lit up, and I saw a rectangular barrier in front of me, on which I had my indifferent expression, and then, the face changed slightly, and became the face of a red candle.
I've always said that the red candle is the red candle, and I am me, but the more I feel that I am really more and more similar to her, even if she has a strong aura, but the cold aura emanating from her body is becoming more and more similar.
She stood on the other side of the barrier and smiled softly at me, her red lips were stained, and she was so beautiful that her voice was soft, like a breeze, but with an irresistible majesty, I didn't know that her tone could be so harmonious. She said, "If you keep my memory of the exercises, do you think you will still be you?" ”
I also laughed: "There are thousands of Taoist disciples, they learn the same kind of Taoism, so are they the same person?" ”
Red Candle still had a smile on his face, but he pursed his lips and didn't speak, so I continued: "In the end, everything is your fault, why do you want me to clean up the mess you left behind?" What is the relationship between Heavenly Punishment and you? It doesn't matter if you don't say it, either you find a way to deal with it yourself, or you can do everything you can to help me. ”
When these words came out, the red candle finally moved a little, the smile on his face disappeared, and the beautiful eyes that looked at me flickered, and his lips opened lightly: "You are right, everything is my fault, and I am already trying my best to make up for it." Ziqing was taken away, I can't help. I've given you everything I can leave for you. How many broken souls and memories I left behind have been gone. And the me you see now is nothing but a spirit attached to your body, and you can rely on me and give me your body when necessary. But I also have to tell you honestly, if you do that, I will devour your body, and when the time comes, there will be no more Su Yi in the world, only red candles. The rest of her words seemed to be an attempt to tell me the gravity of the matter with every word.
But I only had one thing on my mind, saving the big dog, and I couldn't take anything else to mind, so I didn't want to ask her, "How can I give my body to you?" ”
Red Candle's body was slightly stunned: "What are you really going to do?" ”
As soon as she said this, I laughed: "Then tell me, what better way can I do it?" The big dog is innocent, and there is no need for him to get involved in your grudge with others. ”
"Do you really think so? But why don't you want to think about it, why did Heavenly Punishment send someone to take Ziqing away? Why don't you take Cang Fall, or Liang Chi, it's clear that Liang Chi is the protagonist of all this, isn't it? ”
I was a little stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”
Red Candle just smiled: "It's not interesting, all the decisions are in your hands." Everything starts because of me, I will help you, I have already made it clear to you about the relationship, how you insist on doing it, that is your choice, you have to bear it. When Red Candle said this, his body began to slowly fade.
I was caught off guard and said, "Why didn't you show up until the big dog called?" ”
The cold smile on Red Candle's face was evoked again: "Because, you are you, and I am me." I'm already wrong, how can I intervene again in my life continue to be wrong......"
As the last of her words fell, her body disappeared into the darkness, and I opened my eyes in a trance, and everything around me became clear, and I saw the last warm light outside the window, reflected on the handsome side face of Ryoike, and he looked at me with such earnestness and indescribable affection.
I turned my head to the side, looked elsewhere, and asked in an inaudible voice, "What about the fall?" Are you back? ”
Liangchi shook his head: "No, he went directly to Yunnan." Your master managed to find Zhong Tongkui's whereabouts, and Cang Cheng directly changed his route halfway and went there, telling us to hurry up and get up. ”
I was startled, and immediately frowned and stood up: "Then why didn't you wake me up earlier!" ”
Liangchi's brows also furrowed slightly: "I just hung up the phone and wanted to wake you up, and you woke up yourself." ”
Liang Chi didn't bring any emotion when he said these words, but I suddenly realized that my tone was wrong, for the sake of the overall situation, he knocked me out who wanted to stop Zhong Tongkui from taking away the big dog, in fact, he didn't do anything wrong, I said that I didn't blame him, and I told myself in my heart that I didn't blame him, but I still sprinkled my anger on him inexplicably.
He seemed to see my mental activity and said, "Pack some things and go now." ”
I nodded weakly and answered, "Okay." ”
