Chapter XXXIII

Ruan Zhan did not answer.

In fact, he was jealous, although he thought that after his death, it would be most reassuring to hand over Xiao Xia to Wanli, but when he saw Xiao Xia sitting on Wan Li's lap and the two embraced, he still couldn't bear it.

But he is dying, what right does he have to be jealous?

"Actually, she just got dizzy and fell." Wan Li explained, "It's not that we have an intimate act. ”

Although he also loves Xiao Xia, he is a fair and honest person and is unwilling to take advantage of the misunderstanding between them.

"Or maybe I should want you to die, so that Natsu is mine." He continued, "But I don't want that much, that you and I have lived a lifelong relationship, and that I want you to live. I'm a greedy person, I want both love and friendship! So you cheer me up, and I will let you survive even if I fight hard. ”

"Your life is worth nothing." Although Ruan Zhan said this, there was a smile on his face.

"Then let's take a look at this penny worth a penny first!" Wan Li pointed to Bao Datong.

Ruan Zhan stretched out his hand above Bao Datong's face, and said silently for a while, "I found out just now that his aura is not too bad, but he has damaged himself very much, I don't know if you have noticed these red marks on his body." ”

"Red Mark?" Wan Li was startled, and hurriedly approached Bao Datong's bare upper body to look, and sure enough, he found that his skin was covered with many small red marks, as if the porcelain had been bumped, although it was not broken yet, but it was full of cracks, and it would break at any time.

"What's going on?" He asked, surprised and guilty.

Today is the day he watched Bao Datong, because Bao Datong has been quiet, he carelessly thought he was fine. Xiao Xia is a girl after all, it is impossible for her to lie on Bao Datong's body to observe carefully, and Bao Datong's skin is dark, so he didn't notice it.

"He-he's going to be fine, is he? Otherwise, I will not shirk the blame. ”

"Judging from this red mark, although he was self-inflicted, he also fell for the demon magic first." Ruan Zhan said, "Fortunately, he is smart enough to attach his soul and yang energy to the charm, protecting the essence and yang energy from losing quickly, and I came back in time, otherwise he would be in danger." Don't blame yourself, even if you find the red marks on his body, you can't help it. ”

"It's okay, I'm afraid I'll kill him because of my negligence. Although this person is not constructive, the size is a life, and it must be saved! Is there any way to do it? Wanli's heart was a little calm, and he deliberately said it more relaxed.

"When Xiao Xia comes up, you have to carefully recall what he has done these days, and then find out the reason for his self-destruction, so that you can find a way to save him." Ruan Zhan probed Bao Datong's pulse again, "The demon magic in him is really ingenious, and it can't be detected from the outside of his body at all." ”

"What if you can't remember?" "He already knew that he was self-inflicted before he passed out, but he didn't know what he had done." ”

"If you can't remember—" Ruan Zhan said in an indifferent tone, but said helplessly, "Then you have to think about how to tell Uncle Bao that his only son was killed by witchcraft, and I don't want to face Uncle Bao." ”

"Understood." Wan Li was stunned for a while and said, "That means you have to figure out how he hits!" ”

All night, the three of them were thinking hard about the reason for Bao Datong's self-destruction, but when it was almost dawn, they found nothing. Wanli bent down to look at Bao Datong's body, and found that there were many more red marks, which had spread from his abdomen to his face, and under his feet, as if the whole person would shatter when he touched it! At the same time, the talisman drawn by Bao Datong's own reconciliation of blood and cinnabar slowly turned black!

"How much longer can he hold out?" Wanli asked.

"The sun sets tonight."

"What then? He can't die! You must save him! Xiao Xia was so nervous that she subconsciously held Ruan Zhan's hand. Ruan Zhan only felt that her little hands were cold, and she was trembling slightly, obviously very flustered.

"There's another day, and I'm not going to give up." Ruan Zhan looked at her gently, "You go sleep for a while, and then go to work." ”

"How can I sleep and go to work?" Xiao Xia glanced at Bao Datong, and couldn't imagine that such a lively person would also die.

"You have to have a mind!" Wanli picked up Xiao Xia and pushed her to another room, "It's not a way for everyone to sit here and think about it, you can do whatever you have to do, maybe you will find something new when you open your mind." Inform us at any time when there is a new situation, knowing that normal daily life can stimulate memory. ”

Xiao Xia had no choice but to listen to Wanli, but she couldn't let go of Bao Datong's affairs whether she was sleeping or at work, and when it was almost noon, she was so anxious that she had a splitting headache.

At that moment, her phone rang. She thought that something had happened to Bao Datong, and she dared to answer it for a long time, but when she looked at the screen, it was the friend who helped him recover the hard drive data.

"The hard drive is not damaged much, I have repaired it for you, the data is not lost, and the computer has been reinstalled, when will you come and get it?" Friend said.

Xiao Xia just wanted to talk about it in a few days, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, illuminating her dark memories like lightning. She desperately grasped the thoughts that were about to pass by, and finally thought of the reason why Bao Datong might be self-harming.

So she ran to her friend's laptop to retrieve it almost like crazy, forgot about the date with the person concerned, and hurried back, holding the computer in her arms all the way, for fear of any accident.

"There's a possibility!" She said breathlessly.

At this time, Ruan Zhan and Wan Li were sitting in the room at a loss.

"What's going on?" Ruan Zhan was close to the door, so he hurriedly helped Xiao Xia to the chair and wiped the sweat from her forehead lovingly, "Take a breath first and speak slowly." Wanli, bring a glass of water. ”

"No, no, I'm not thirsty, I don't have to gasp, I want to save Bao Datong immediately!" She carefully handed over the computer she was holding in her arms to Ruan Zhan, "I'm not sure, but he may have self-inflicted his own damage because of this." ”

"Computer?" Ruan Zhan was a little surprised.

"Didn't you say that if he himself definitely didn't have the Tao of Lu Yan's mother and son, and we couldn't think of what injuries he had suffered, we should think about what he damaged?" Xiao Xia swallowed, "He broke my computer the other day!" ”

Ruan Zhan and Wan Li glanced at each other, "Even if he breaks your computer, there must be something related to him in the computer." Ruan Zhan said, "Think about it, what did he do with your computer?" ”

"He has been in contact with Uncle Bao, and he usually receives emails or something, and he also uses my computer."

"The question is, how can we get into his email, QQ, MSN, password, these common contact methods?" Wan Li said, "You can't find someone to crack the code now, right?" There's not enough time! ”

"I have a way to do this." Xiao Xia hurriedly said, "He has always been so-so, and he can't remember passwords, addresses, etc., so he wrote them down in a small notebook." I also joked that one day I could steal that little notebook and get to know all his secrets and take all his bank deposits. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Wan Li and Ruan Zhan ran to Bao Datong's room to rummage through the cabinets, and soon found a small black leather notebook in the mezzanine at the bottom of his suitcase.

According to the records in the small notebook, they looked for the possible reasons for Bao Datong's self-damage one by one, but after finding them, they still found no clues, and there was nothing valuable in the chat records and emails, which made the three of them return to frustration from the excitement at the beginning.

"At least we know that his chat friends are all women, from Lori to mature women, he doesn't let go of them all!" Wanli tried to make a joke to relieve the pressure, but even he couldn't laugh a little bit.

Seeing that Xiao Xia was about to cry urgently, Ruan Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I also think that his self-damage has something to do with this computer, but we must have overlooked something." Xiao Xia, you tell me more about the events of the day. ”

Xiao Xia thought about it for a while, and then told everything that happened that day, down to the subtle expression of what he ate that night and Bao Datong. Ruan Zhan listened with a frown, and then there was a long silence.

"Do you think of anything?" Xiao Xia asked softly, for fear of disturbing Ruan Zhan's thinking.

"You say, another child came to harass you that day?"

"That's right."

"You saw Zhang Jialin, Xiao Tong and Yang Yang in the cabinet?"

Xiao Xia nodded, remembering the events of that day still made her creepy.

"Yangyang is definitely no problem, you and Bao Datong have no substantive contact with Zhang Jialin, it seems that only Lu Yan's mother and son are the most suspicious." Ruan Zhan analyzed, "But since Bao Datong said that he didn't have the Tao of the mother and son, I believe he won't be wrong." So, according to my guess, if the demon really caused Bao Datong to damage himself through this computer, and Bao Datong didn't make a mistake when he used the computer-"

"Did they hurt him through me?" Xiao Xia took over and couldn't help but shudder. This computer has only been used by her and Bao Datong, did she hurt Bao Datong?

"It's not you!" Ruan Zhan looked at Xiao Xia's panic and self-blame, and was very distressed. I want her to be happy, I want her not to be contaminated with a little sadness and helplessness in this world, and I want her to live the simplest life, but why can't I do it!

"It's not because of you." Ruan Zhan looked at Xiao Xia's eyes seriously, "It's just because you were unlucky to meet a few of us, you are the closest person to us, if someone wants to harm us, they will make up their minds on you." Even if you're careful, they'll still find a way to frame you! ”

Xiao Xia shook her head in annoyance, "If I were stronger—"

"If I had thought it through, Nana wouldn't have died." Wan Li took over, "How did you persuade me to come just now, no one is leaky, Ah Zhan is right, it was you who were unlucky to meet us." ”

"No, I'm lucky to know you." Xiao Xia said sincerely.

"It's good if you think so." Wanli patted Xiao Xia's head, "Besides, now is not the time to think about responsibility, first think about what happened to be exploited by Lu Yan's mother and son, or by Xiao Tong, I always feel that all this is the ghost of that child." ”

Children? Is it a child?

Xiao Xia lowered her head and thought about it, trying to remember whether Bao Datong was implicated when she was with Xiao Tong. I think that the first time Bao Datong met with Xiao Tong was when everyone went together, there should be no problem at that time, and then there was a time when she and Xiao Tong were upside down in the wardrobe, Bao Datong rescued them, as if he was a little suspicious of Xiao Tong at the time, and also probed Xiao Tong on him. But since Bao Datong said that he did not fall for the plot, it should not be that time.

When was that?

Bao Datong is so clever, assuming that Xiao Tong really hurt him by himself, he must have done it while he was alone with her.

Suddenly, she remembered a small, inconspicuous, but very important thing.

"I once coaxed a child to play a game-" Xiao Xia said slowly, feeling all the blood in her body concentrated in her heart, making her chest swell and unable to breathe, "I have software in my computer that can simulate the appearance of an old person, and I can change all kinds of clothes." As long as there is a photo, you can change it through that software. I thought it was funny, and I had a bust photo of Bao Datong on my computer, so in order to make the child happy, I made Bao Datong old, and gave him a little beard and put on a Taoist uniform. ”

"Oh?" Ruan Zhan came to his senses, "Do you remember when he, I mean Xiaotong, had any unusual expressions or expressions?" ”

It's been a long time, and besides, those are very ordinary details, and Xiao Xia can't remember it clearly. But she understood that it was related to Bao Datong's life, so she desperately recalled, "At that time, I was sitting on my lap with Xiaotong in my arms, his face facing the screen, and I couldn't see it. However, when I saw the statue of Bao Datong's old Taoist priest, Xiao Tong seemed to suddenly fall silent, and I thought he didn't know Bao Datong anymore, because the difference between a person's old portrait and a young person's portrait is really big. So I seemed to ask him, "Don't you know each other?" He said: This is Uncle Bao! And said—"

"A word of what?"

"He said—he seemed to say—I know what he has become!" Xiao Xia finally remembered.

"Him?" Ruan Zhan frowned, paying special attention to this word, "Xiao Tong didn't say 'Uncle Bao' or anything, did he say 'him'?" ”

"I don't remember exactly." Xiao Xia was very annoyed, "I'm not sure what Xiao Tong said, maybe it was 'him'." ”

"Well, we don't want that." Ruan Zhan hurriedly calmed Xiao Xia's gradually uncontrollable emotions, "Now I can determine what the problem is, you don't have to worry anymore, Bao Datong can't die!" ”

There is nothing that makes Xiao Xia happier than hearing this, the tense emotions of the past few days have finally eased a little, and the relaxed mood made her suddenly remember one more thing, "I remember, when I showed Xiao Tong the portrait of Bao Datong, he also touched the screen with his fingers for a long time!" ”

"That's right." Ruan Zhan's heart also suddenly brightened, "He must have cast a magic spell on Bao Datong's image through the computer, and then found an opportunity to scare you." But his target is not you, but Bao Datong, because he calculates that you can't turn off the computer, and he must also know that I and Wan Li are not there, so only Bao Da can 'save' you, and in fact, he is luring him to destroy the computer. ”

"Does this make Bao Datong self-harming?" Wanli asked.

"Yes, the world is far more mysterious than we think. I have heard of a spell that when you want to kill someone, as long as you find a way to get the blood of the other party, mix it with a special ink made by them, and then draw a portrait of the victim, of course, it must be quite expressive, and finally tear up the picture, then the person who is painted will die inexplicably within three days. ”

"Oh my God, this is terrible, it's almost invisible!" Xiao Xia sighed.

Ruan Zhan shook his head, "I hope we don't have to encounter something like that, otherwise I really don't know how to crack this technique." ”
