Chapter 26: The Crush

Bao Datong stopped what I was about to say, as if he was afraid of interrupting his train of thought, he thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, "This reminds me of a vulgar but reasonable possibility!" ”

"Don't sell it, say it quickly." My mind was confused at the moment, and I didn't have any of my usual quick reflexes left.

"The toad wants to eat swan meat! You, a top student in the Department of Psychology, must have heard this sentence. He raised an eyebrow at me.

It dawned on me.

But then I thought about it, the toad was just a form, and it didn't necessarily have a metaphorical meaning, and who would turn himself into a toad!

"You think, he hates you for no reason; He pestered Nana, also for no reason; He mutilated girls for no reason, but there is no such thing in this world for no reason, even if it seems to be like this on the surface, there will be a deep reason. Bao Datong said, "So we assume that he has a crush on Nana, which is very reasonable, because Nana is so beautiful and cute, but Nana is your girlfriend, of course he wants to kill you!" And if he wants to get close to Nana, he is likely to use the girls around her! ”

"There's one more question." I said, "I always felt like he was an outsider." I've been at this school for four years, but this lake has only recently started to have frequent accidents! ”

"Yes, I also don't think the water on him is very old. So you say, according to our guess, when did he fall in love with Nana? Did he accidentally make his home in the lake and accidentally saw Nana and fell in love at first sight, or did he meet Nana somewhere else and chase after him? ”

I shook my head, I really can't remember anything, since I fell in love with Nana, we have been to many places, how can I imagine where this thing is hiding. But I am certain - if he had moved to the lake from somewhere else, and the poor child would have been his first prey, and Ling the second, then he might have used Ling to get close to Nana and threaten her. Nana fled timidly, only to pity the girl who jumped off the building and became a victim, and was used as a bargaining chip by the evil spirit to threaten Nana closely!

The next day, I rented a house east of the school for a short period of one week. The reason why they are in that direction is because Bao Datong said that the purple qi has come from the east recently, which is very advantageous, and the reason why it is not far from the school is also because he said that the other party can reach it no matter how far away they are, but it is more dangerous for them to walk on the road, so it is better to hide in the house where he has done the defense as soon as possible.

In fact, we all know in our hearts that there is not much chance of that thing chasing it outside the school, and we are the most dangerous on campus. It's fine during the day, but once it's dark, we have to be on guard all the time.

The day was over, and after dinner the three of us went back to the rented house. Bao Datong glanced at me, and I had to rub it in front of Nana, who was preoccupied, and held her hand.

Nana shuddered, as if she knew what I was going to ask, and without even looking at my face, she withdrew her hand.

"I-I'm going outside for a cigarette." Bao Datong said a word and ran to the balcony. In fact, he didn't smoke at all, and this excuse to leave was extraordinarily funny, but everyone had something on their minds, and no one noticed.

I cautiously approached Nana again, tentatively holding her in my arms. For a moment, I felt her whole body collapse, her body hanging limply on top of me, sobbing suppressedly.

"It's not your fault." I comforted softly, knowing that she must blame herself for the problem of the girl who jumped off the building, after all, it was because of her escape that the innocent girl was implicated, if she had faced it bravely, the girl would not have died now!

Yesterday, Bao Datong had already used Xiao Ling to make the incident repeat, it was the evil spirit that made a noise outside the window, and when the girl who woke up from her sleep opened the curtain curiously, she saw a terrible bloody face. In the panic, before she could scream, she was thrown out of the building by the ghost hand outside the window by the neck and killed on the spot!

"You're not wrong, you're here to protect me!" I continued, "Don't blame yourself, we'll carry it together!" ”

"It's none of your business, don't ask!" She suddenly pushed me away, looking agitated. This annoyed and distressed me, on the one hand, she selfishly chose to escape, even though she knew that it would hurt others; On the other hand, she is for me, she has always been kind, but for me she would rather carry such a heavy burden of heart!

Gritting my teeth, I told Nana what happened to me last night, and told Nana clearly that the evil spirit was lying to her, and he would not let me go at all, he just wanted me to die and then get her.

Nana looked at me in disbelief, her face white, and I felt that she couldn't even breathe under the weight of the psychological pressure. This made me feel very distressed, and sat next to her and hugged her and said, "Tell me all the things, we want to stay together for a lifetime, if we can't even face this difficulty together, then how can we survive such a long life?" ”

Nana didn't speak, but I sensed she was hesitating. She should have understood that I was right, but she was too frightened to make up her mind. I didn't rush her, I just stroked her shoulders and physically conveyed to her an aura of stability and trust.

At last, she moved, and said with difficulty, "He said - if I did, I would kill you!" Her tears welled up, "I can't let you die, I can't live without you!" ”

Her words made my heart wrinkle all of a sudden, and I didn't know what to say while holding her, while she seemed to open the floodgates of emotion, and continued to murmur, "After Xiaoling died, he came to me!" Every night into my dreams, every night does not let me go. He said he loved me and threatened me not to speak out or leave school, otherwise you would be unlucky, my family would be unlucky, and my classmates would be unlucky! I'm sure he can do it! I don't dare! I don't dare! At first, he just said a lot of terrible and sensual things to me, and then he used his hands and feet - touching me, kissing me, making me feel like there were a bunch of cold snakes crawling on my body, but in the end he actually wanted to me - I couldn't stand it, so I ran out of school, I didn't expect Yanyan to have an accident! I regret it! I didn't want to—I didn't mean to—I really didn't mean to! ”

"Shhhhh I soothed her growing agitation, and although I was so angry that I wanted to kill him immediately when I heard the evil spirit do this to Nana, I had to calm her down and make her understand that I could protect her, "Calm down, let's talk slowly." Now that Bao Datong is here, Ah Zhan will come back in a few days, and when the time comes, we will join forces and we will definitely be able to eliminate him. It's just useless to hide, he will harm more people, can you feel at ease? And he's so mad, do you think he'll let us go? When we traveled in the mountains and forests, such a vicious demon spirit was defeated, and we will definitely be beaten back to his grandmother's house! Don't be afraid, fear is the most important emotion. ”

Nana nodded tearfully, and I called Bao Datong in when I saw this.

"He's really a toad and wants to eat swan meat!" I said, "He must be something in the water, and he must have just arrived, right?" But - where did he come from? Why don't you go to his world and fall in love with a girl in the world? ”

"He--" said Nana, in a dry voice, "he's in the water, and he's just here, but he's in love with me four years ago!" And, you all know him! ”

"We know each other?" I was amazed, "When did we meet a water ghost?" How I didn't know! ”

"You talk about that trip to the woods—" Nana said quietly, "think about who drowned there last time?" ”

After a few seconds of silence, Bao Datong slapped his thigh violently, and I was instantly stunned!

It's Zhao Jiang!

Zhao Jiang, who is shy and thin like a girl and so taciturn that people ignore him; Zhao Jiang, who has always had a crush on Nana but never said it; Zhao Jiang, who was traveling in the mountains and forests, jumped in desperately to save people when Nana was drowned in a waterhole; The Zhao Jiang who was controlled by the demon baby after drowning and led his classmates astray!

It turned out to be him!

After eliminating Duan Jin's children at that time, because he and the little maid were also victims, Uncle Bao did not accept them, but sent them to the land of reincarnation, but why did he not leave and returned to the campus with a strong obsession? Why did he become so powerful?

I turned my head to look at Bao Datong, and Bao Datong hurriedly raised his hand, "I don't know what's going on?" My dad definitely sent him where he should go, it stands to reason that he can't turn back, what went wrong? ”

"How do I know!" I said, "It is right to do everything to eliminate evil, but it is useless to complain now, we need to find a way as soon as possible!" ”

"How did he find you?" Bao Datong asked Nana, "Just through a dream?" ”

"At first it was a nightmare, but then I couldn't tell if it was a dream or a hallucination, or if he actually came to me." Nana trembled when she said this, "He said he was very hungry, but after eating the soul of that child and migrant worker, he was not hungry, Xiao Ling was captured by him, and he wanted to use Xiao Ling to meet me!" He has become very powerful, even if it is not as good as the demon baby back then, but it is enough to hurt the person I love, I can feel this, so I am especially afraid of him. He also threatened me not to tell you and Ah Zhan, otherwise he would let you die first, and if I were obedient, he would consider letting you and my family go! Remember the day we went to dinner outside the school and you were almost hit by a runaway car? ”

I nodded, remembering the events of that day. Nana seemed to be in a bad mood for those days, and now it seems that it may have been because of that threatening nightmare, but I didn't know it at the time, and thought that she was unhappy because I didn't spend time with her, so I took her out for a romantic night.

As we walked down the street, we were going down the sidewalk, but a well-moving car suddenly lost control and rushed towards us. In an emergency, I pushed Nana aside and saw that I was about to be knocked off, but the car suddenly turned to the side and slammed into the fence of a shop, seriously injuring the driver on the spot.

I was in a hurry to help save people, and when the driver was taken away by the ambulance, I realized that Nana had been sitting on the ground and looking into the distance. I thought she was frightened, comforted her in a thousand ways, and then forgot about it.

"Is the car accident that didn't happen related to Zhao Jiang?" I asked.

Nana nodded with apprehension, as if recalling the events of that day, "I saw him squatting on a tree and smiling at me, just in the middle of the leaves, and the trunk was dripping with water all the time!" He was holding a red rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the car! No one could see him or the strange rope, but I could see it! It's real, not an illusion. He's telling me that he can let you die at any time, and that since he can come from that far away, he can go anywhere, and the campus can't trap him! I'm afraid that he will kill you, I don't know what to do, so I can only drag it out day by day! ”

I glanced at Bao Datong suspiciously, which startled Bao Datong, "Don't look at me, he didn't use me to run!" If you think about those accidents, they happened before I came here. ”

I think so. Although Zhan said that spirits cannot be left far away from the place where they died, and that they must be attached to something to leave, I have heard many stories of humans helping spirits for some kind of benefit. Zhao Jiang could use any of them to return to campus, and judging by the time, he had waited a long time.

"Besides, I don't think he's strong enough to control outsiders to hurt you." Bao Datong continued, "You think, he hates you so much, how can he spare you? If he really could, there would be a hundred car accidents that could have killed you! ”

"So how do you explain what Nana said?" I say.

"You are a person with extremely strong yang energy, such a person is not only an ordinary evil person who can't get on his body, but also has to avoid it when he sees you, so as not to hurt himself, of course, evil spirits with mana are a different matter!" Bao Datong explained, "On the other hand, such a person also has an advantage, that is, it is particularly difficult to be changed in fortune, if it is not a spirit with extremely high mana, it will not be able to take away your life, and it is a serious injury." ”

"You said it easily, but it wasn't you who was seriously injured!"

"I'm not done yet." Bao Datong spread out his hands, "He wants to control foreign objects to hurt you, not only to suppress your luck, but also to control other things and people, things may be possible, but at the same time control you and the other two people - I don't think he has such a big way." I said, if he could, you'd have died a hundred times, so it's just him using Nana's concern for you to scare her. Do you think the sun is a place where fierce ghosts are rampant? They don't do whatever they want, especially considering that he's only a little bit higher than me, and not strong enough to do that. ”

"Understood, he wanted to say to Nana: What's the matter, your boyfriend's life is in my hands. In fact, he could only control the car to suddenly lose control, but he couldn't control the driver to take braking measures, and he couldn't suppress my lane, right? ”

"Basically—that's what it means." Bao Datong said, "Judging from Nana's statement, I can also speculate why he escaped back from where he was supposed to go and became magical. Remember? was with him at that time, as well as Duan Jin's little maid. She has been with Duan Jin for a long time, and she also has some mana, but she is kind and timid by nature, so she has never done harm. Zhao Jiang and her walked together, I think Zhao Jiang must have used some method to transfer her mana to his body, maybe he even harmed her and increased his strength. Zhao Jiang has a strong obsession with Nana, this is not something that that the simple maid can guard against, now that he can eat souls, it can be seen that he must have absorbed the power that does not belong to him, otherwise from the perspective of time, it is impossible for him to cultivate to such a point! ”

Bao Datong's words made me sweat coldly, not the fear of ghosts, but the fear of human nature. He just has a crush on Nana, why can he do so many evil things for the sake of this relationship? Love, can it make people so dirty? But love is the most beautiful thing in the world!
