Chapter 12: Brightness
The continuous raindrops fell on the transparent glass windows, making a crisp sound.
Mingmei only wore a nightdress, sat on the sofa at home with her knees crossed, her eyes stared at an incense burner in front of her in a daze, and her face showed a little anxious expression from time to time.
The area where she lives is actually not small, but the house is full of all kinds of miscellaneous items, not to mention the mess, it seems that the room is very narrow.
She didn't turn on the light, and the whole room was immersed in darkness. Only a wooden shrine stood in the corner of the room, and the incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the shrine shimmered with a few red glimmers.
The shrine **** has a black statue, I can't see what it is, the statue reflects a faint light, it doesn't look like a fairy, but it looks like a monster.
The hands of a circular wall clock on the wall move slowly, making a dull sound of "ticking and ticking", which makes this room a little lively.
The hands on the clock coincided again and again, but the person sitting on the sofa never changed his posture, just staring at the incense burner in front of him in a daze.
There was no incense or ash in the incense burner, only a puddle of clear water, and a small note floating in the water.
I don't know what she did with the note, which floated on the water, not wet at all, not sinking at all, just slowly spinning in the water, like a small boat.
The hour hand on the clock points to ten.
There was a "rustling" sound in the corner of the room, and it sounded like someone was whispering something.
Mingmei showed a surprised expression on her face, turned her head sharply to look in the direction where the voice came from, and listened intently for a while before she smiled as if relieved.
"I see, good job."
She said that. He breathed a long sigh of relief and stretched out, as if his mood had suddenly improved.
"It's finally over!" She moved her body, which was already a little stiff, and glanced down at the incense burner with water.
The small note floating in the incense burner had been soaked in water and sunk to the bottom, and the handwriting on the note was constantly blurring. Soon it turned into a light gray smudge.
She stepped down from the couch and jumped twice on the floor, moving her numb limbs a few times before walking towards the corner where she had just made a sound.
"Come on, darling, it's time to eat!"
She put a bowl of water in the empty corner, then crouched next to the bowl, looked down at the water in the bowl and quickly disappeared into the air, squinting and smiling.
"What a ......"
After another moment. She turned back to the edge of the couch and reached for the small incense burner on the coffee table, ready to put it away.
Just as her fingers were about to touch the censer, a pale hand came out of nowhere and pressed the censer against the coffee table before she did.
Mingmei was frightened by this hand and took a step back, sat directly on the sofa, and looked at the figure that appeared in front of her in surprise.
It was a girl in a black dress, and she looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Long hair tied in a ponytail hangs down the back of the head. Most of her body was hidden in the darkness, the bright red light of the shrine shining through the corners of her translucent skirt. Bright eyes.
The girl was thin and thin, her face was a little sickly pale, there was not much blood on her lips, and her eyes were black and shiny.
At this time, these black eyes were staring at Mingmei tightly, with a bit of fierce killing intent in their eyes, as if they were warning her not to act rashly.
Mingmei slowly retracted the hand that was reaching for the incense burner. Sitting on the sofa to calm down, he narrowed his eyes and asked the girl sharply, "Who are you?" How did you get in? ”
The girl looked at her without saying a word, and with a force in her hand, she dragged the censer in her direction.
Mingmei saw her move. I couldn't help but sit up straight, and once again stretched out my hand at the incense burner.
"You ......"
Before she could say anything, she heard a crisp cracking sound in the corner of the glass coffee table, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling on the floor.
She turned her head to look at the corner of the coffee table and couldn't help but swallow.
The thick stained glass seemed to have been slashed by something, and the corners were neatly missing, and the broken place was a straight line, and there was not even a little glass ballast.
The girl lowered her eyelids and looked at the incense burner in front of her, her mouth moving slightly, and she didn't know what she was muttering.
Mingmei honestly shut up.
This girl in black looked like she had just died, but she was very fierce, and she didn't know how miserable she died, so she could have such a big evil aura on her body.
In their line of work, there are indeed some people who will raise a few ghosts for their own use. Although it is true that the more fierce the better, if the fierceness is too much and it is not easy to control, it is easy to backfire on the owner.
So most people will still choose the little ghost who is not sensible, and if the child's brain is not clear, it is easy to take the owner of it as a parent. Although the IQ is not very high, at least it is relatively easy to control and not so easy to rebel.
Like the girl in front of her, she can almost be regarded as a fierce soul. It is true that many people have a little thought, but in fact, there are really few who dare to raise it.
What's more, this is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
It's a species that's hard to handle even if you're alive!
Even more so when you're dead......
Mingmei looked at the girl's confused expression, and began to quickly search her mind for who among her enemies could raise such a fierce ghost.
She went back and forth to the people she knew several times, but she still couldn't figure out who it was.
Among the people she knew, there didn't seem to be many things that could suppress the evil spirit in this girl.
And those old monsters...... I don't think I would bother to raise this kind of thing at all.
The girl stared at the incense burner in front of her for a long time, and then slowly stretched out her finger and touched the water in the incense burner.
There were a few ripples on the calm water, and they trembled gently.
The girl's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and she touched the surface of the water again.
"Little sister, do you want this?" Mingmei reluctantly squeezed out a smile, relaxed her tone, and said to the girl as if coaxing: "Take it if you want." It's not a precious thing...... Can you tell me who got you here, though? ”
The girl frowned, thought for a moment, shook her head, and stretched out her finger to the small soaked note in the incense burner and fished it out.
When Mingmei saw her action, her eyes changed. I had some ideas in my mind.
If you don't want an incense burner, you just want such a scrapped broken strip.
Could it be...... That's it.
She unconsciously shrank back again, and asked softly again: "Little sister, can you tell my sister who asked you to come?" ”
The girl stared at the wet note for a while, but she didn't see anything, and finally swallowed the note into her stomach with a mouth.
The corners of Mingmei's mouth twitched a few times, and finally she didn't dare to say anything.
The girl looked up again. Xiang Mingmei moved closer and stared into her eyes for a while.
There was a bit of carnivore ferocity in her eyes, and there was a certain dangerous aura all over her body. When you stare at someone, you can't help but feel some instinctive fear in your heart.
Mingmei clenched her teeth, suppressing the urge to tremble her teeth, but her body trembled slightly.
The girl opened her mouth and spat out two words vaguely: "Ah Tian......"
Who?
Mingmei's eyes widened in surprise and looked at the girl in front of her. For a moment. She even wondered if something was wrong with her ears.
"Ah Tian......" The girl said it once, and this time she heard the words speak much clearer.
There were so few seconds. Bright even forgot her fear in surprise.
The "Ah Tian" she said shouldn't be the person I thought!
Probably not, is that kid so powerful?
Even if it is Ye Baiyu's apprentice, he shouldn't ......
I've been messing around for so many years, and I can't even compare to a child?
Impossible, impossible, impossible...... Definitely not that kid!
Although she couldn't accept this answer emotionally, Shen Luotian's young face kept dangling in her mind, lingering.
"Ah Tian...... Unhappy......" The girl spat out a few more vague words, and then began to frown again and think.
Well, I know you're awesome.
But can you teach your child to speak well? And then release her out to scare people!
Don't you really think about going together as a family to get checked for genetic psychosis?
Mingmei racked her brains to think about what the girl meant, and couldn't help cursing Xia Beifeng in her heart.
The girl stared at the ceiling for a moment, nodded, looked at the bright again, and said, "Not happy...... So...... You ...... too. Unhappy ......"
She said, gesturing to the empty bowl in the corner of the room.
The empty bowl made a crunch from within. Without warning, it exploded into a cloud of white porcelain pieces, bouncing on the floor with a series of shattering sounds.
When the pile of porcelain had quieted down, the girl shook her fist again.
"Again...... Next time......" The girl's eyes gradually cleared up as she spoke, and the speed of her speech became a little faster, "There will be another time...... You...... Mouse. ”
She said this in choppoca, but her voice was clearer than before, and it sounded much more coherent. Even if she was still jumping out a few words, at least Mingmei understood what she meant at once.
If you don't understand, you can't do it, the twisted corpses of several rats near the broken empty bowl are piled up there, like a mess of pulp, and blood is constantly pouring out.
Blood spread across the floor, emitting a pungent stench, like the smell of something that had rotted for a long time, making those who smelled it want to vomit.
The girl nodded firmly at Mingmei, pointed to the tip of her nose, repeated the word "mouse" again, then turned around and disappeared into thin air.
Mingmei watched her disappear, the whole person collapsed on the sofa, exhaled, and touched her forehead.
It was only now that she realized that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
"!"
Mingmei cursed viciously and slammed the armrest of the sofa.
The wall clock on the wall pointed to three o'clock in the morning.
Shen Luotian sat in Shen Yungui's shop, watching his uncle busy cleaning up the messy storefront, listening to Erlang's legs drinking tea like no one, looking like he was an uncle.
I said...... Can't you just come and help? Shen Yungui put the stack of books back in place and couldn't help but glance back at Shen Luotian.
Shen Luotian shook his head happily. took another sip of tea, and almost wrote the four big words "It's none of my business" on my face.
Shen Yungui covered his chest in pain, shook his head, turned his head and continued to pack his things, too lazy to look at this little bastard anymore.
If you look at it again, you'll be angry.
"If you don't come to help, can you go home?" Shen Yungui complained and said, "Why do I feel so unhappy when you sit here and watch me work?" ”
"I'm waiting...... She probably couldn't find her way. Shen Luotian's eyes fell on the light of the street lamp outside the window, and he said softly.
What are you waiting for?
What can't find the way?
Shen Yungui turned back suspiciously.
Shen Luotian shook his head slightly. raised his glass at Shen Yungui and made a toast from afar.
Little Bunny!
Shen Yungui gritted his teeth, bent down and began to clean up the porcelain fragments on the ground.
The street lights outside the window flickered a few times, making a "stinging, stinging" sound, which was quite permeable at first glance.
Shen Yungui was tossed for a night, almost to the point where the grass and trees were all soldiers, and when he heard this strange sound, the cold hairs on his whole body immediately stood up.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yungui stared at the street lamp standing there alone outside the window, and asked Shen Luotian, "That girl." It's not going to be back, is it? ”
"Yes...... Or is it not? Shen Luotian looked at the black-clothed girl with a confused face under the lamppost, muttered for a while, drank the tea in his hand, stood up, and patted Shen Yungui's shoulder, "Whether it is or not, you can rest assured, she will not toss you anymore." ”
What do you mean she won't toss me anymore?
Is she gone?
Explain it to me!
Shen Yungui stared at the person in front of him, panting heavily. I can't wait to pick up the broom next to him and beat him on the head.
"I'll go first." Shen Luotian nodded at him and smiled. He turned around and opened the door.
"You're not waiting for someone?" Shen Yungui asked in surprise.
"There's no need to wait." Shen Luotian had already stepped out of the store door as he spoke, walked under the street lamp in a few steps, and waved his hand with his back to Shen Yungui, "I'll go home first to make up for sleep, and I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to see my brother, and you can go to bed early." ”
Go to bed early? How do you go to bed early if you don't pack your things?
No, wait.
Don't leave me here!
If you want to go, you should at least make your words clear before leaving!
The female ghost is still there!
How many people are in this room now!
Am I really not going to die if I stay here?
Shen Yungui turned a bunch of questions in his mind. When I looked up again and wanted to ask, I saw that all I saw was car exhaust.
"Hey!" He stood in front of the store and shouted at the speeding SUV.
The car had no intention of stopping at all, and in a blink of an eye it drove to the corner of the street, turned a corner, and disappeared.
Shen Yungui took a deep breath. Helplessly laughed and scolded: "Little rabbit, it's really grown up!" ”
He stood in front of the shop, watching the car disappear from his sight, and waited for a while before shaking his head, picking up the bucket of rags and water on the side, and continuing to tidy up the shop that looked like it had been ransacked.
Shen Luotian leaned on the steering wheel, glanced at the black-clothed girl in the back seat with her hair down, and whistled.
The girl immediately raised her head and looked at him suspiciously.
Shen Luotian stretched out a hand at her and hooked his fingers twice.
"Did you bring something for me?"
The girl blinked in confusion, looked down at the hand that reached under her chin, and slowly put her hand on it.
The two hands shook each other for more than ten seconds, and Shen Luotian let out a soft "um" and took his hand back.
The girl's hand stayed in mid-air for a while, and then slowly retracted as if she had reacted slowly.
She clenched the hand into a fist, put it on her heart, lowered her head, and closed her eyes.
Shen Luotian saw her in the rearview mirror, shook his head with a chuckle, and lowered his head to look at his palm.
The little soaked note was in the palm of his hand.
The note was originally filled with dense small characters, but now it has been blurred by the water, and it has become a blur of ink, and it is impossible to see the original at all.
Even so, Shen Luotian carefully recognized the handwriting on the note, and whispered: "It seems that she really did it." ”
With that, he clenched his hand, crumpled the note, and threw it out of the window.
