The weather is getting colder, and the last few dead leaves on the trees are finally falling.

Wang Xu tossed in the bedroom for half an hour, cleaned up decently, and then hummed a small tune and went out.

He's in a pretty good mood, and he's been doing everything relatively well lately.

The preliminaries of the newcomer evaluation passed smoothly, and the cat master has not bothered him again in the past few days, as well as today's date with Shang Lingxue.

Although it is only the beginning of winter, Wang Xu's heart seems to have flown to spring.

This day is the day when he and Shang Lingxue have known each other for 100 days, and it is a very commemorative day, of course, only Wang Xu will calculate this date.

Wang Xu went downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Shang Lingxue just came out, today she was wearing a white jacket and jeans, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her skin looked like snow in such a season.

Wang Xu smiled and went up to say hello, then stepped forward to take Shang Lingxue's hand, and the two walked around the campus like this......

Shang Lingxue doesn't remember the first time she held hands with Wang Xu, and when she realized something, it seemed that it had become a habit for the two to hold hands together, a habit that made her look forward to it.

In fact, their relationship is very delicate, so far Wang Xu has not said a word of liking or anything like that, and Shang Lingxue does not seem to be ready to go further, they are still good friends, just good friends who can hold hands.

The two walked side by side on the campus road, a beauty like Shang Lingxue is eye-catching everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a school flower, and Wang Xu obviously played the role of a rumored boyfriend, which made many suitors hate it.

Wang Xu couldn't understand why he was willing to maintain the current relationship, whether it was because Shang Lingxue made it clear that she didn't want to have a boyfriend at the beginning, or because she didn't have enough courage to pierce the layer of window paper, in short, he felt that it seemed good like this.

Maybe when they graduate, the two are still friends, and then go their separate ways, and if they meet on the street ten years later, it will only be "better to see each other than to smile lightly".

Wang Xu was so painful and happy, dating monk Lingxue, watching movies, watching sunsets, going to thousands of places, leaving thousands of memories.

Each time he sent her downstairs, then let go of her hand, waved goodbye, and watched her smile and back until the last moment.

Today has passed like this, Wang Xu did not go back to the bedroom, but went to the office of the cat master, although he didn't want to admit it, but whenever he had a question and couldn't figure it out, the cat master would definitely be able to give him the best answer.

Wang Xu didn't knock on the door, and directly entered the office with the key, and the office was still the same, full of smoke, sundries, and a kind of homely atmosphere.

Mao Ye was looking at the Dunjia Heavenly Book in his mobile phone, he glanced up at Wang Xu, and said, "I can't answer your question." ”

Wang Xu felt inexplicable: "Hey, I haven't asked you anything." ”

"Don't you just want to ask, why can't you go further in your relationship with your little girlfriend? Emotional matters have to be solved by themselves, and I am not an omniscient immortal, this matter can't help you, at most, I will tell you one sentence, the first love basically fails. ”

"Damn, I didn't ask anything, you know my problem, you're not an immortal yet? I said, how the hell did you do that? ”

"Ah...... Men and women who have problems in their relationship, their troubles are like a little bit of saliva left at the end of a large bottle of drink......"

Wang Xu interrupted without letting the cat master finish speaking: "Okay, I won't ask you......"

The two were silent for a while, and the cat master lit a cigarette: "By the way, I may have to leave S City for a while at the end of the month, if there is anything at that time, you can find Uncle Wu." ”

Wang Xu thought for a few seconds and said, "Is it related to the message from your brother-in-law a few days ago?" ”

The cat master spat out a puff of smoke: "You are quite keen, indeed, I went to see King Chujiang." ”

"What? She's finally ready to rebuild with you? ”

The cat master sighed, and his eyes looked a little lonely: "On the contrary, this time she came to me, and it was an official duel." ”

This surprised Wang Xu: "What? I mean, what the hell is going on with you two? ”

"A lot happened five years ago...... She still can't let go. In short, if she wins this time, I will have to give up the title of Cat Ye, and if I win, she will recommend me to join the Ten Palaces of Yama and serve as the new Song Emperor. ”

Wang Xu asked again: "Then what are your plans?" ”

The cat took a deep puff of cigarette, he didn't answer the question, but asked rhetorically, "What would you do if it were?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Xu laughed: "Do you need to say it?" Of course it's a towel, you think I don't know, the last time she beat you to a serious injury was because you deliberately released water? Uncle Ping Wang told me a long time ago, you can be very serious when you are serious. ”

The cat master frowned deeply and fell into contemplation, he couldn't say a few words every time he saw Shui Yingyao, the last time he met her alone, he had a lot to say, but Shui Yingyao, who hadn't seen him for five years, went directly to him, and finally when he was seriously injured, the other party decided to leave, and he was powerless to catch up.

Wang Xu continued: "After the New Year, you will be thirty, even if people are a few years younger than you, there is not much youth to wait for you, you should suffer a little loss as a man, you can rely on her whatever she wants, anyway, if you become a family in the future, you can say anything." ”

Mao Ye smiled bitterly: "So I said that young people nowadays just don't understand anything, if only things were so simple, forget it, it's useless to ask you, it's too troublesome to be the king of the Ten Palaces or something, and you can't deliberately lose to her, hey!" I'd better think for myself......" he said as he stretched and collapsed on the tattered office chair.

This night, two men who are also emotionally defeated have a night of drinking at the Black Cat Bar, and they talk like old friends until they are too drunk to wake up......

Also on this night, Jiang Ru, who arrived second in the first round of the preliminaries, had a dream, it was not the first time he had dreamed of that black shadow, a strange black shadow wearing a high-necked black trench coat and a hat, the last time he dreamed of this black shadow, the other party told him four words "the water of Fangcheng".

This dream is so clear, and it is still vivid after waking up, so Jiang Ru went to check what the water of Fangcheng means, literally it may refer to the water of Xiangyang, which seems to have no meaning, he feels that he may be too careful.

Until the preliminaries of the next day, after he passed the test, the ghost hunter told him the clues of the location of the casino, and Jiang Ru was immediately stunned on the spot.

So when Jiang Ru dreamed of this dark shadow again, he stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you know those? ”

Everything in the dream was unreasonable, the black shadow didn't answer him, just laughed, and then the scenery around Jiang Ru turned into an underground parking lot. Jiang Ru's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of fear, as if his heart was being held tightly, this fear was for no reason, everything was so terrible in the nightmare, even the eyes of passers-by, or a dark corner, could make people sweat coldly.

Suddenly, a man appeared, his face was blurred, and he was holding a pitch-black short sword in his hand, Jiang Ru wanted to see his appearance clearly, but he could only see the blurred outline of the face and the blood-stained lips, which were still smiling.

Jiang Ru had a strong feeling at this time, that is, this man was going to kill him, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to resist, so he chose to escape, but this underground parking lot seemed to never be able to run out, and Jiang Ru's hands and feet couldn't use his strength at all, he couldn't get rid of the man behind him with all his strength, time passed very slowly in fear, he seemed to have been running away for a few hours, and finally ran to the end of the parking lot, but it was a wall.

Jiang Ru turned his head, the man's face was almost on his face, he could clearly see that the man licked his bloody lips, and then raised the pitch-black short sword, the sword body was as dull as a black hole, as if it could absorb all the light.

Jiang Ru watched the sword swing towards him, he screamed, woke up, and found himself lying in the hotel room, the sheets already soaked with sweat.

He gasped for breath, and when his breathing calmed down, he went to wash his face, it was a bit embarrassing that a ghost hunter would be scared like this by nightmares. He couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he went to the window and looked down on the night.

Suddenly, in the reflection of the glass, he saw the man again, standing right behind him, that blood-red smile made him creepy, he was excited, and then he found himself awake from his dream again, and it turned out that he had fallen asleep in bed again before he knew it.

He sat there clutching his aching temples and muttered to himself, "Is it ...... There's such a man who wants to harm me......"
