Chapter 9 Ruan Zhan Goes Out
After breakfast, Ruan Zhan proposed to go to Xiao Xia's house with Wan Li to have a look, but Xiao Xia was too frightened and unwilling to stay alone in the empty bar. As a result, in order to comfort Xiao Xia, Ruan Zhan didn't pay attention to it a little, and was leaked by Wanli to his other secrets - for example, the bar looks ordinary, but in fact it is arranged according to the long-lost ancient formation, the array is at the staircase, the bedroom is the place of extreme sun, and even the three cartoon-shaped candles on his bookshelf are disguised by powerful magic weapons left by his father.
In this way, Xiao Xia was relieved, but Ruan Zhan was so angry that he almost recited a spell on the spot to make Wanli dumb. He didn't understand why Wanli, who had always been loyal and steady, was so rash, was Xiao Xia trustworthy or was she particularly important to him? But he realized that the saying 'friends are used to sell' turned out to be true! Especially when they came out of Xiao Xia's house.
"She can't live with me!" Ruan Zhan saw Wanli throw Xiao Xia's luggage in the back seat and immediately refused.
"What else would you do? Let her be strangled? ”
"She can stay in a hotel, or she can't stay with you!"
"But how do you make sure she doesn't have nightmares or ghost attacks like this again? Only you are the safest there. ”
"I disagree. I can also set up a spell in your house and put up some charms or something, and I can lend you the magic weapon. "He's out of the way, as long as outsiders don't disturb his orderly life.
"Come on, don't be so stingy!" "It's just a few days, and everything will be fine when that thing is removed." ”
Ruan Zhan couldn't be fooled by him. "I didn't say that I wanted to get rid of it for you, I only promised you to let Yue Xiaoxia be safe and sound, so that it wouldn't harm her. As for the lives of other people, it is not within my consideration, and it is useless for you to set me up. ”
"Forget it, be as ruthless as you want. Don't worry, I'll make sure that Natsu doesn't affect your life. ”
Doesn't it affect? It sounds good, and it has had a great impact.
"I'll ask her to promise not to go downstairs while your bar is open." Wan Li added, "As long as you don't let people go upstairs or let your buddies move things, you won't spoil your flowers." ”
"Shut up!" Ruan Zhan didn't have the strength to debate with him anymore. It's not that he's afraid of affecting his status in the eyes of women, but he doesn't want to be an exception. But today, Wanli has forced him to make an exception many times.
Seeing him driving silently, Wanli didn't want to speak, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Didn't you find anything?"
Ruan Zhan was silent for a while.
"On the surface, it's nothing. Except that the yin qi is a little heavier, the aura is not very active. ”
"It's gone? Or is it hidden? Can't you find it? ”
“――――”
"What then?"
"Come back in the middle of the night when it comes out. If it is attached to something else or hides in a dark place and does not come out, it will be difficult to spot during the day. What's more, although my dad passed on his life's learning to me, and I also have the so-called natural 'good ability', you should know that I have sealed myself, and I have only used it twice since I was a child. This kind of thing is like playing an RPG game, you don't kill people and set fires, no matter how good the foundation is, the level is not high, and the ability is insufficient. So, I don't even know if I'm good enough to deal with it. ”
"This one-I mean this, awesome, do you think?"
"Not good. During the day, there is no ghost at all. I can't do it, or it will find out and be on guard, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at night. ”
"Well, then, I'll come with you in the evening." Wanli felt guilty for a while. He only thought about helping and protecting Xiao Xia, and didn't think carefully about the trouble he brought to his old friend. He thought it was a simple situation, but now it seems that it is not like that. If this time is more dangerous than the last two times, he may put Ruan Zhan in danger of life.
"No, I'll have to take care of you then."
"Who said that? We've lived and died together twice, and it's good to take care of each other. ”
"No, this time it's really a little different." Ruan Zhan was very resolute, "It was first able to remotely control Yue Xiaoxia to have nightmares, and then let her 'witness' the murder in the hospital, and it is likely that it controls Li Jingming's father and son." Then it can attach to the medicine bottle and come back with you, and then let you encounter ghosts hitting the wall, while trying to hurt Yue Xiaoxia, although it didn't succeed, it still scared her, which is not something that ordinary ghosts can do. ”
"You're saying it's awesome - wait, you say the medicine bottle? Which one? ”
"It's the white glass bottle on the bedside table, with a faint black gas on it. If you ask me, that's the only thing I found this morning. ”
"Oh my God!" Wanli was taken aback, "It's my fault, it's what I helped Xiao Xia clean up." I didn't look at it at the time, and when I got home, I found that it wasn't the medicine she was taking, and I wondered! ”
"If you don't take that medicine, it will find another way. When she was in the hospital, apart from nightmares, did anyone approach her? ”
"No, I've been watching over her. But—" Wanli suddenly remembered something, "after she woke up from a nightmare, I went to fetch water for her, and when I came back she asked me if anyone had come, and I said no." Actually, there was a nurse in the hallway, as if she had just left. And now that I think about it, the way she walks is very abnormal, as if she is floating. ”
"It was probably the Nurse who was killed, which means it can control other ghosts."
"Why did it do that? Does this have anything to do with that case? ”
"Likely, but not for sure."
"Fierce?" Thousands of miles are uneasy.
"Whatever! Let's see. ”
The more Ruan Zhan downplayed Wan Li, the more he felt that he was also responsible, so he insisted on acting with Ruan Zhan. In the end, they decided that Ruan Zhan would go up alone, and Wan Li would answer it downstairs with a magic weapon. If the wax on the outer layer of the artifact melted, he immediately went upstairs to support.
"Is the Bloodwood Sword in that candle bunny?"
"That's right. But be careful, don't let the wax layer melt artificially, I finally sealed it. Ruan Zhan instructed. In fact, he didn't think there would be much chance of using this tonight, but it was just to reassure Wanli.
For the first time since the opening of the 'Night Home' bar, customers have noticed that the handsome owner is absent. Ruan Zhan, who was supposed to stay behind the bar with a gentle smile on his face, was about to negotiate with the ghost at the moment. It sounds cool, but it's actually dangerous and troublesome.
He arranged for Wanli to squat next to the garbage can, who was reluctant. "You're taking the opportunity to fix me." Wan Li said, "It's dirty and smelly here, and I'm a dignified psychiatrist, and when people see me, they will think that I have a disease." ”
"More than 80 percent of people have psychological problems, why can't you? Stay honest or you'll fuck off! "He doesn't have that much spare time to fix him, because there are no ghosts here.
He can see things that others can't, which is why he doesn't want to go out at night. Most of the wandering ghosts are because they have strong obsessions in their hearts - nostalgia, unwillingness, love and hate, as well as lonely ghosts and a few evil spirits. If he is not careful, the ghosts will know about his abilities, and they will want to use his abilities to grant their wishes. He doesn't want to be pestered during the day and have to deal with 'good brothers' at night, which would be too much trouble!
Yue Xiaoxia said that he was indifferent to anything? Right! But he wasn't born like this, he went through a lot of mental torture to become steel.
"Don't open the carton, it'll break the wax layer." He stopped Wanli's move, then lifted his leg and left.
"Be careful!"
He paused, but did not answer, and everything was silent.
Xiao Xia's residence is at the junction of urban and rural areas, and the housing prices are cheap, but it is said that it was used as a place of execution before liberation, so there are relatively many wandering spirits. Unlike other places, you may not see one after walking for half a day. He walked as far as he could, not wanting to pass through the shadows where they wandered, and he tried not to walk quickly, lest he encounter an unresponsive person who did not know how to dodge. Walking around will show that he can see, and if he wears it, both parties will be uncomfortable.
He walked into the building without hurrying or squinting, and as soon as he stepped into the elevator, he felt a strong eerie atmosphere. He guessed that the inhabitants might feel a chill down their backs for no apparent reason, but they would soon ignore it. But he can follow the growing yin qi and directly find room 1205, even if the public light on the twelfth floor is broken, he can still use the lighting.
He opened the door.
The door slammed shut behind him, as if someone had slammed it shut. Then the lights in the darkness suddenly turned on automatically, and the intense light blinded him for a moment.
Ruan Zhan didn't care and continued to walk towards Xiao Xia's bedroom, but he was stunned when he entered the door.
He stepped into the elevator!
Without waiting for him to react, the elevator door closed heavily, and various indicator lights flashed wildly, and finally the elevator began to start, up and down, and a sharp female voice automatically reported the number. 1st Floor - 2nd Floor - 3rd Floor -
Ruan Zhan stood still coldly, waiting to see what new tricks it had. It wasn't until the elevator fell like weightlessness that he drew a few talismans in the void. The elevator shuddered and stopped, but he was still locked inside. He frowned, knowing that this evil spirit was not simple, and then drew a few more strokes, and after a period of darkness, he returned to the foyer of Xiao Xia's house.
"What do you want?" He asked. The answer was the chandelier in the living room that suddenly fell, and if he hadn't hid quickly, he would have had a good chance of becoming the same kind as the ghost. So he stopped talking and entered Natsu's bedroom again.
The abnormal darkness was like a fog that could not be dissolved, so that Ruan Zhan could not see anything, so when the yin wind hit, he could only dodge the general, only to feel a tingling pain on the right side of his face, and then the sound of glass breaking. He knew that it had no physical form and could only control other objects to hurt people, but in the darkness it created, even his yin and yang eyes could not capture its location.
He reached out and touched the wet and sticky liquid on the right side of his face, stretched out his middle finger and swiped it vertically on the center of his eyebrows, silently reciting a spell in his heart, making the eyes of heaven brighter, and finally allowing him to see a cloud of humanoid black gas in the corner of the wall. Strangely, the humanoid figure was mutilated, as if it were only halfway. But he didn't have time to think about it, the black gas was already rushing towards him. He still drew talismans in the void, because his fingers were stained with his own blood, and the mana of the talisman was doubled, and in the faint red light, the black qi was forced into the corner.
A sharp cry came, as piercing as glass against glass, and he couldn't help but tilt his head. The black qi took this opportunity to skyrocket, almost pushing Ruan Zhan to the Dao, forcing him to concentrate all his energy.
"Get out of your boundary, this is not the place for you." He let out a loud shout.
The black qi was silent, and Ruan Zhan was in a stalemate, and the clutter in the room flew around, until the black qi was pressed smaller and smaller, shrunk into a ball, and the surroundings gradually calmed down.
"Don't get out yet!"
Hei Qi finally replied: "Death to the nosyman!" That woman and you! I want you to die, never to be born! ”
Ruan Zhan sneered, "Am I afraid of you?" "At the same time, the afterburner on the hand.
The black qi screamed miserably and roared unwillingly, "I will take revenge!" I'll get revenge! Beware, I'll get revenge! Watch out! As the sound faded and the surroundings became calmer, the moonlight shone into the room.
Ruan Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. I sat on the bed for a while before I went to find Wanli by the garbage can.
"Why is it so long?" Wan Li jumped out as soon as he saw Ruan Zhan's shadow, "I thought you had an accident and almost broke in." ”
"Is the wax layered?" Ruan Zhan asked as he walked towards the parking place, and saw with his own eyes that in order to catch up with him, Wan Li knocked a ghost to the ground.
"Nope."
"And what do you see or hear out there?"
"No, there isn't. So I endured it and didn't move. ”
"Congratulations, you weren't accidentally injured." Of course, other people can't see or hear the anomaly, because he sealed the space, otherwise in such a densely populated place, everyone would run out to watch the human-ghost war that only appears in movies. That's worth it!
"So the battle is fierce?"
"If you're interested, you can look at her room one day, it's like it's a World War II."
"It looks like it's fierce!" Wanli waited for the car to start before he found the injury on Ruan Zhan's face, "You hung the lottery." ”
Ruan Zhan took a look in the rearview mirror and found that the wound extended from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth, and he didn't know what scratched it. The blood had clotted, and it seemed that the wound was not deep, and although it would not leave a scar, it would definitely take some time to heal.
Wanli pointed to his face, "You blood-stained demeanor - have you completely subdued it?" ”
"I don't know."
"Don't know? What do you mean? ”
"Meaning I can't be sure. It's so much more powerful than I thought. I was going to break its resentment and drive it back to its place. In the end, it escaped, but I'm not sure if it broke its resentment or if it could only be sealed, and how long it could be sealed? ”
"Oh my God, we've got the big guy."
"Nonsense, a kitten can make me do this!" Ruan Zhan subconsciously touched his face, "It forced me to add my blood to the spell, and it barely suppressed it with the blood spell, and it took a lot of effort." ”
"You should always practice your abilities, and know that you will find more things like this for you to do."
"Shut up! And the face said, if it weren't for you, what does the sky have to do with me? He hadn't said that the demon was just a mutilated half, and that he would have enough to drink a pot if it were all of them. And there are things he still has to think about.
"So what do we do now?"
"Wait and see."
"So Xiao Xia is going to stay with you for a few days?"
"You think I'm willing? We have to convince her to give up the case, so that everyone can save trouble. Otherwise, take her to you. ”
"No, no, it's still safe for you." Wanli hurriedly rejected the proposal. That ghost didn't do anything during the day, and Xiao Xia would be in no danger with Ruan Zhan at night. "You're not going to suddenly become a human wolf, are you?" He was joking.
"Don't worry! I'm old, and I don't have the appetite to digest that prickly girl. ”
