Years later.

Jia Zhutao was cleaning at home, and Grandma Ruth and Marnie were walking their dog in the courtyard.

The sky is peaceful, and the city is filled with the scent of birds and flowers. Although war has brought great suffering to the world, human beings are a very strong species that can always get back from their wounds quickly.

Tan Zi also lives in their home, and she is playing the hottest online game at the moment - New World.

Jia Zhutao came to Tan Zi's side and watched Tan Zi manipulate the red sandalwood monks to kill the Quartet.

"I said Tan Zi, you are also a doctoral student, why are you still so addicted to games?"

"What's wrong? Ph.D. students can't play online games?"

Jia Zhutao said: "But, if you play all day and night like this, what should you do with your graduation thesis?"

Tan Zi let the red sandalwood monk return to a safe place, and then she complained to Jia Zhutao: "Why are you like an old antique?"

"What do you mean?"

"The older generation thinks that games make people degenerate, and games affect their studies or something!"

"Isn't I, as a senior sister, afraid that you, a little junior sister who doesn't do a good job, won't be able to finish her job?"

Tan Zi smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about this, my paper has already been approved and has been published in a world-class journal, and the sample will be sent soon." Graduation is absolutely fine. ”

Jia Zhutao was slightly surprised, but quickly felt happy for Tan Zi: "Congratulations!"

Tan Zi continued to smile and said: "Actually, it's nothing, the key is that there are few people in my major, as long as An An scores can basically graduate successfully." Nowadays, students are all rushing to study spirituality, and 80% of the students in my major have applied to transfer to spirituality. ”

"You're exaggerating. ”

"It's not an exaggeration at all, the world has changed since the end of the war. Nowadays, who doesn't want to be a spirit guard, who doesn't want to have their own spirit weapon, and who doesn't want to become a superman with superpowers. Elective spirituality, although it may not be 100% able to become a spiritual guard, but relatively speaking, the road will be much easier. ”

Jia Zhutao was silent.

Since the end of the war, the world government has vigorously developed spirituality, and many people who have served the spiritual army have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and have made outstanding contributions to the development of the world government, the improvement of spirituality, and the study of spiritual weapons. To this day, although spirit weapons are still very rare, they are no longer exclusive to the spirit army. Even every ordinary person, as long as they work hard to pass the assessment and become a spiritual guard, they can have their own spiritual weapons.

The world is changing.

......

Another day, Jia Zhutao worked outside and didn't come back.

When Grandma Ruth was tidying up the room, she found a very secret place under Jia Zhutao's bed, and there was a box.

She flipped it out and looked at it.

Inside the box was a bracelet, an amulet, and a dozen or so steel drills.

What is it?

She took out the box, and it happened that Tan Zi was playing online games in her room again. So I took it over and showed it to Tan Zi.

Ruth hadn't spoken yet.

As soon as Tan Zi saw the bracelet, he asked, "Huh, Grandma Ruth, is that bracelet in your hand a spiritual weapon?"

"Spirit...... Spiritual weapons?"

Tan Zi took the bracelet and looked at it, and said excitedly: "It seems that it's not a defensive spirit weapon." If it is not a defensive spiritual weapon, I am afraid that it can only be possessed if it passes the government's assessment. Did the senior sister sign up and pass the assessment?"

Grandma Ruth said: "We have never heard of Zhu Tao participating in any assessment." ”

Tan Zi asked, "What else is in the box inside?" ”

Grandma Ruth took out the amulet and steel drill inside.

Tan Zi took out a steel drill and said, "Why does this thing look like it is used for engineering, and it also looks like a spiritual weapon." ”

"Tan Zi, take a look, this talisman has a sign on it, I seem to have seen it somewhere. ”

"Then I'll take a look...... Grass !!" Tan Zi's face changed drastically, and he said, "This, this pattern!"

"What's wrong with this pattern?"

"Isn't this pattern the military flag of the evil spirit army back then?"

Grandma Ruth's face also became very ugly.

Evil spirits!

She hadn't forgotten that his son was killed by an evil spirit on the way to join the army!

"Could it be that senior sister she is...... Evil spirits?"

Grandma Ruth's hands trembled slightly.

"Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"I hope so. ”

......

Night.

It was another unquiet night.

After Jia Zhutao finished work, she came back from shopping in the mall, carrying two bags of clothes in her hands. She walked into the house, and in the living room, Ruth and Little Marnie were watching TV.

"Ruth, Marnie. See what I've brought back to you?"

Little Marnie threw herself into her mother's arms and said happily, "Mother is back." ”

Grandma Ruth's face turned blue and she looked at her coldly.

Little Marnie unwrapped the clothes in Jia Zhutao's hand and dug out a children's coat. She happily wore it on her body and said, "Look good, alas." ”

Jia Zhutao opened another bag of clothes, which was a coat: "Ruth, this is for you." ”

Grandma Ruth sighed.

"I won't buy Tan Zi for her, her taste is too high, it's good to accompany her to go shopping when I have time. ”

Jia Zhutao said, "Ruth, do you want to try it on." The size is definitely no problem, it's this style, if you don't like it, I'll take it back and change it. ”

Grandma Ruth's voice was low: "You, have always been kind to us. ”

Jia Zhutao felt that Grandma Ruth was weird today: "I've always been very good to you!"

"Alas~"

"Ruth, what's wrong with you today, are you not feeling well? If you are not feeling well, I will accompany you to the doctor. ”

Suddenly, Jia Zhutao saw a box placed next to it, and the dust on the box had not been wiped clean. After many years of dust, she has forgotten the existence of this box, and she has forgotten what she was like back then.

The air seemed to freeze, and neither Grandma Ruth nor Jia Zhutao continued to speak.

Little Marnie rejoiced in the new clothes her mother had bought her.

Grandma Ruth asked, "What is this?" she pointed to the box.

Jia Zhutao said: "It's just something left over from some old friends. ”

"When did you stay?"

"It's been a long time, so long that I've forgotten it. ”

Jia Zhutao called Xiao Ma Ni over, touched her head, and said, "Xiao Ma Ni, can you go to the room to play first?" I have something to tell my grandmother. ”

Little Marnie didn't know anything, only that she had just received a gift from her mother, and she was very happy, and she nodded obediently and went back to the room.

Grandma Ruth's voice was very slow, and she said almost word for word, "You, are you an evil spirit?"

Jia Zhutao was silent.

"Are you trying to compensate for the guilt in your heart when you are so good to us?"

Jia Zhutao said slowly: "I have nothing to feel guilty about. Her tone was a little cold, calm.

Grandma Ruth's fingers trembled and pointed at Jia Zhutao: "You, are you really an evil spirit?"

She asked her a second time, but she still didn't deny it.

"Can you tell me out loud that you're not an evil spirit?"

Jia Zhutao said: "It's been so many years since the war ended, is it still meaningful for me to be an evil spirit? But in any case, I'm your family, isn't it?"

"What qualifications do you have to be part of our family!" said Grandma Ruth angrily, "I ask you, did you know that evil spirits were going to attack my son's convoy?"

Jia Zhutao did not speak.

In fact, back then, she was supposed to complete the task of attacking the convoy. But she couldn't do it, so she let the more powerful evil spirit finish it.

It's just that all this is meaningless.

"I stopped him, but he had to die......"

Grandma Ruth slapped Jia Zhutao in the face, she thought that the so-called cliché mother-in-law and daughter-in-law struggle in the East would never happen in their home. However, something happened that was countless times more difficult to accept than family conflicts.

Ruth's voice was sad and resentful: "How can there be a person like you in this world?"

"Am I not an evil spirit?" Jia Zhutao laughed at herself, "How can you understand the thoughts of our evil spirits." ”

"How many bad things have you done to hide from us?" Grandma Ruth said, "I asked Tan Zi to go to the police station to investigate some evil spirits, especially the incident where the Brock family became ghosts, did you do it?"

"Is that a bad thing?" Jia Zhutao said, "It's all war." ”

Jia Zhutao walked up to Grandma Ruth, put down the clothes in her hand, and picked up the dusty box. She opened it and saw that it was empty.

Ruth said: "Those evil things inside, I also asked Tan Zi to send them to the police station for investigation." ”

An evil spirit without a spiritual weapon is, in fact, an ordinary person.

Jia Zhutao asked, "Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

Grandma Ruth didn't reply. She really thought that if Jia Zhutao was really an evil spirit, and she had a spiritual weapon in her hand, if she wanted to attack her or Tan Zi, they really couldn't stop it. It's just that the evil spirit without the spirit weapon is actually just an ordinary person.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Jia Zhutao suddenly smiled, "Even if there is no spiritual weapon, it is not difficult for me to hurt an old man." But I won't, in my heart, you are all my dear family. ”

"You ......"

Jia Zhutao suddenly looked out the window and said, "Outside, is someone here to arrest me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, two strong policemen walked in, and Grandma Ruth was not stupid, and had already asked the police to help her ambush outside the house.

"Jia Zhutao, you don't have a spiritual weapon on you, you can't resist, just grab it. ”

Little Marnie suddenly rushed out of the room, wearing the new clothes that Jia Zhutao had just bought, and ran out and threw herself into Jia Zhutao's arms.

This little Lori stared angrily at the police who suddenly broke in: "Who are you, what are you doing at our house?"

The two policemen looked at each other.

Jia Zhutao hugged little Marnie to Grandma Ruth, held her hand to Grandma Ruth, and said, "Take care of Marnie, and take care of yourself." ”

Little Marnie's hand tugged at her mother's sleeve.

Jia Zhutao said, "Mom is leaving." ”

Little Marnie didn't understand what was happening yet, but she had a hunch that her mother was ready to leave her.

"Mom, when are you coming back?"

Jia Zhutao smiled and did not reply.

......

At the police station, Tan Zi sat in a daze in front of a pile of case files, and there was Jia Zhutao's bracelet spirit weapon in front of her. And this spiritual artifact, without any intention, is the spiritual artifact of the evil spirits that killed countless people in Nils City back then.

And this pile of information also shows that the evil spirit is a woman, and all kinds of characteristics are consistent with the senior sister.

As long as the senior sister comes to this police station and faces these cases, she will not be able to clear the felony of evil spirits no matter what.

She doesn't believe it's all true, Senpai, she's really an evil spirit!?

......

Another four years passed.

Marnie meets the local game boss Bullock because of playing online games, and Bullock invites Marnie and the rest of the gamers to his home for dinner.

Little Marnie picked up an old newspaper from the side.

I saw the headline in the newspaper:

"The evil spirit of the Magic Island has been hidden in the market for ten years, and the witty old man has dealt with it and cooperated with the police to arrest him. ”

The picture on this newspaper, she is too familiar, it is her home!

Mom!

Grandmother?
