I asked for the address from the teacher, and after school, I went to the rental house in Sunai with Chu Nantang.

I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement.

Bai Yiqing frowned, put her hands on her waist and said, "Have you moved away?" ”

"But I just asked the landlord here, and she said that Sunai didn't check out, but she hadn't seen her come out of the house for a long time."

Speaking of which, I can't help but be a little worried about whether Sunai has been killed.

Bai Yiqing's knocking on the door became more intense, causing nearby tenants to come forward and complain: "Don't you let people have a good rest?" When I came home from work, I heard you knock until now, are you annoyed? ”

We hurriedly laughed and apologized.

Chu Nantang said: "If she doesn't come to open the door, it is estimated that it will be useless to knock on it, ask the rent for a spare key and open the door directly." ”

I answered softly and made it clear to the landlord, who was not an unreasonable person, and quickly brought the key and opened the door for us.

When we walked into the house, we were stunned.

The landlord's expression almost collapsed, and he saw that the snow-white walls were covered with black slime and stench, and he didn't know what it was.

The rental house is so big, we searched in the house for a long time, but we didn't find Sunai.

The landlord was angry and said, "If she comes back, you must remember to tell me." I don't think I can rent this house anymore! ”

Bai Yiqing rubbed some black slime on the wall with her hand, and rubbed her fingertips with disgust: "What is this?" It's disgusting! ”

"It's the black and turbid breath left behind by parasites." Chu Nantang looked around and said, "There is the breath of a living person in the house, and she is still here." ”

After listening, I searched carefully again, heard movement in the cabinet, slowly walked over, stretched out his hand to open the cabinet, and saw Sunai's whole body trembling and shrinking into a ball, his frightened eyes were wide, and his pupils were dilated.

I quickly crouched down and called out to her a few times, and her scattered eyes gradually regained their focus, and her eyes settled on my face.

"Suna, are you okay?"

As if she was greatly frightened, she subconsciously pushed me away, staggered and retreated to the corner: "Don't come, you guys go quickly!" Let's go......"

The lights in the room suddenly dimmed, just like the last time I was in the classroom, and suddenly a cold hand took my hand and whispered, "I'm here." ”

Hearing Chu Nantang's voice, a warm current flowed through his heart, and he was no longer afraid.

I faintly heard a rustling sound, as if something was slowly moving in this direction.

I swallowed quietly: "Nantang, she's here." ”

"Don't be afraid, with me, she can't hurt you in the slightest." As soon as the words fell, I only felt a cool breeze blowing on the façade, Chu Nantang let go of my hand, only to hear a miserable scream, and the lights in the room returned to brightness.

Su Nai held his head in resignation, and shrank there motionless, Chu Nantang instructed: "You look at Su Nai first, Xiaobai, protect Lingsheng." ”

"Okay, grandpa grandpa, don't worry!"

"Sunai?"

Sunai choked, her whole body trembled violently, and she shook her head: "You guys go quickly, I don't want to ...... I don't want to bother the people around me anymore. ”

"There must be a way, don't be afraid." I comforted her.

"You can't kill her, you can't kill her......"

……

A scream pierced the silence of the rental building, and Bai Yiqing and I suddenly got up, and our hearts almost jumped out of our chests.

"What's going on?"

Sunai suddenly tugged at her hair and screamed heartbreakingly. Bai Yiqing and I ran out of the house when we heard about it. I saw that there were already a few people gathered outside a rental house downstairs.

Bai Yiqing and I squeezed in and found a skinned corpse lying on the floor.

The man died in a miserable state, his eyes were as wide as brass bells, full of horror, and his limbs were bent in extreme pain, as if he had watched his skin peel off little by little while he was alive, and had no chance to resist.

I saw Chu Nantang standing in the house, observed for a while, turned around and walked out, and said to me, "Let's go." ”

Bai Yiqing and I glanced at each other and followed Chu Nantang out of the rental house.

On the way back. Chu Nantang, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Don't worry about this matter anymore." ”

I paused abruptly: "Why?" ”

Chu Nantang said: "Lingsheng, I know you want to help Sunai, but there are many things in this world that are helpless. Everything is fate, and those who are harmed by unjust ghosts are also fateful, and you can't stop it. ”

"If it is stopped, can it be explained that it should not be killed?"

Chu Nantang sighed lightly: "That's the case, the project is very troublesome in this investigation, and it is not in the same city." Parasites are not like ordinary unjust spirits, unless the host dies! It's a curse that can't be escaped at all. ”

"I know I've caused you a lot of trouble......" I bowed my head very uncomfortably: "I also know that I am very small, I can't manage too many things, and my ability is limited. However, what happened in front of my eyes, around me, I felt that if I sat idly by, I would feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of my life. ”

"Lingsheng, don't be so stubborn, there is no eternal good and evil in this world." Chu Nantang looked helpless: "I never think you are troublesome." ”

With that, he disappeared in front of me, seemingly uninterested in arguing with me again.

Bai Yiqing finally spoke with an embarrassed face: "Lingsheng, in fact, you can't blame the ancestor grandpa for this, this parasitic spirit is very tricky, and I didn't expect it to be so troublesome at the beginning." ”

"I know, I don't blame him. I also know that he cares about me, but ...... I still have to do what I decide, and if I don't do my best, how do I know if I succeed? ”

"But...... Even the patriarch and grandfather don't want to take care of things, it is estimated that it is really troublesome. ”

"You don't have to worry about me, Xiaobai, go home quickly, it's getting dark." Waving goodbye to Bai Yiqing, I went back to the villa.

In the second semester, Shen Qiushui found various reasons for me to move back to the villa. Originally, I said that I wanted to live in a dormitory for some reason, but for me, it was the same everywhere.

It was a little late to go back, and they had just finished dinner, and Shen Qiushui instructed Wei Bo to take out the hot meal.

After I finished eating, he still asked me, "Why did you come home so late?" ”

"A classmate was sick, and I went to see her."

"I'll definitely call and let me know next time." He paused, then added, "I'm just worried about you." ”

My heart was suffocated, and I couldn't help but soften my heart. Maybe he is a little radical in some aspects, but he really cares and loves me.

"I'm sorry Mr. Shen, I'll call you later."

"Lingsheng ......" Shen Qiushui paused: "If there is any trouble, you must remember to tell me." I may have been a little emotional and scared you, but I don't want you to turn me away like this, after all, we've been together for almost a year, don't let everything in the past go away like this. ”

I rubbed my hands, embarrassed to the extreme, and secretly took a deep breath before saying, "Mr. Shen." Actually, you didn't do anything wrong, I understand what you said. Don't worry, I won't. ”

Shen Qiushui laughed at this time: "That's good." ”

"Well, then I'll go back to my room first."

"Go ahead." He leaned forward and kissed me on the forehead, very suddenly, and I didn't know how to react, until he got up to leave, and I let out a long sigh of relief.

When I was about to go upstairs, I saw Yan Zhi sitting on the stairs, staring at me for a moment with his hands on his cheeks, and I don't know how long he had been sitting there.

I'm in a terrible mood right now. ignored her, but Changzhi's temperament was not so easy to get rid of.

"Mr. Shen likes you." She said in a tone of great certainty.

I disagreed: "This kind of thing is not possible. ”

"Why? Where are you qualified to dislike Mr. Shen? He is handsome and knowledgeable, has a beautiful big house, and has his own company, and is the dream lover of all girls. ”

"All?" I pondered this statistical word and sighed: "Yanzhi, if you don't like it, everyone must like it, everyone's pursuit and view of things are different." ”

"Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"How dare I teach you? I just want to say that I only have respect and gratitude for Mr. Shen, and nothing else can be. ”

Yan Yi walked down the stairs with an unconvinced face: "I finally decided to give Mr. Shen to you." But you told me you didn't like him, why don't you like him?! ”

"Sister-in-law......" My head ached faintly: "It's that I don't deserve him, so I don't like it." ”

"You weren't worthy of him in the first place!"

"Well, that's the answer." I walked past her to my room, and I chased after her.

"Zhang Lingsheng, what are you pretending to be deep? I'm not done yet! She followed me into the room.

I took out my textbook, sat down at my desk, turned on the lamp, and let her talk to herself.

"You don't know, when Mr. Shen took me away from the orphanage, he was like a god, omnipotent in my eyes. Zhang Lingsheng, don't let Mr. Shen be sad, okay? ”

I put down the textbook in my hand and turned my head to look at Chang Zhi: "It's good for you to read him like this, it's good." But I can't promise you. ”

"Why?! What's wrong with Mr. Shen? ”

Sometimes I feel that Changzhi is willful, it is the child's nature, and she feels that what she likes, others should also like it. She doesn't want to hurt people, and she doesn't want others to hurt.

"There's nothing wrong with him, to be precise, it doesn't matter to me whether he's good or not. I am grateful to Mr. Shen, but only grateful. ”

Yan Zhi's eyes were red: "Because it was you, I gave Mr. Shen to you!" You actually told me no, I hate you Zhang Lingsheng!! ”

Didn't she hate me before? Watching her leave, I began to wonder about those days in the village.

Although there is no big house, no sumptuous lunch, and even the pursuit of dreams is a luxury, everyone is simple and simple, and there are not so many troubles.

Before going to bed, I took out the red jade, hesitated for a moment, and put it in the drawer of the bedside table.

The next day I went to school, stared at the drawer for a long time, but didn't open it, turned and left.

It seems that every day he accompanies me to school, it seems to have become a habit, subconsciously looking to the side, empty, and empty.

Sunai still didn't come to school, and I walked early after school that day, and trotted all the way to Sunai's rental house.

But the landlord told me that Sunai had moved out and he didn't know where he had gone.

In order to find her, I went around to inquire, and Sunai recognized it very well, and that kind of gloomy and loneliness was hard to forget.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after all the way of inquiry, I found her in the park, with a suitcase next to her, sitting there alone.

I ran over, and she suddenly looked up at me in disbelief, "Why are you ...... Not again? ”

"You didn't go to school. I don't know what happened to you. ”

She is very introverted and may close herself off from communicating with outsiders for long periods of time.

"I'm fine, you can go."

"But you're sitting here alone, and I'm not at ease. What about your family? ”

At the mention of his family, Sunai trembled lightly: "They are all very good......"

She didn't seem to want to mention it, so I stepped forward and took her hand: "Why don't you find a place to eat first?" ”

She shook my hand away, "No, no...... Let's go. ”

"Sunai, I'm not afraid of you, my life is hard, it can't hurt me." I smiled at her.

Sunai choked and trembled slightly: "You don't have to worry about me, it will affect you." They don't even want me anymore, you don't have to worry about me......"

"Them?"

She just shook her head vigorously and said no more. I stepped forward to help her carry her luggage and said, "Anyway, let's find a place to settle down first, let's go." ”

"Where to go?"

In fact, I didn't know where to go, so I took her halfway and thought of Bai Yiqing's home, so I came to Bai Yiqing's house with Sunai.

Bai Yiqing stepped forward and opened the door, and when he saw Sunai, he was startled. Pulling me aside: "Why did you bring her here?" ”

"Xiaobai, can you take her in for a night?"

"What??" Bai Yiqing stared at me with a glare: "She has that thing by her side, I don't want to be skinned by ghosts." ”

"Aren't you a Taoist? One night...... Should...... No problem, right? ”

Bai Yi blinked without tears: "One night, it's also a big problem, unless the ancestor and grandfather are sitting here." ”

I whispered, "I left him at home." ”

"Huh??"

"Uh, nothing. If it's really difficult, I'll find a way. ”

Seeing that I was leaving, Bai Yiqing stepped forward and pulled me over: "Forget it, one night...... Probably fine. I've got a trick up my sleeve to keep that thing from coming close! ”

Bai Yiqing plastered the room with charms, and I glanced at him suspiciously. "Does this really work?" ”

"It definitely worked, I've tried it many times!" Seeing Bai Yiqing's confident look, I also relaxed my heart.

"It's good to be useful, don't worry, after tonight, I'll take her away."

Bai Yiqing glanced at me suspiciously: "Where can you take her?" ”

"Nantang said that if you want to transcend a resentful spirit, you must untie her heart knot and return her long-cherished wish, I want to ......"

Bai Yiqing stared at me for a long time: "Can you solve it alone?" If you want to untie the knot in the heart of this resentful spirit, you have to go to their original city and find out the truth, so that she can fulfill her long-cherished wish. And I think the key is in the girl named Sunai. ”

"I'll have a good talk with her."

I went to a nearby phone booth and made a call to Shen Qiushui.

"Where are you?" Shen Qiushui's cold and displeased tone made me take a deep breath secretly.

"I'm at my classmate's house, and I probably won't be back tonight."

"At a classmate's house? Male or female? Shen Qiushui continued to interrogate.

"Mr. Shen, it's not what you think, it's not just me, it's ......"

He interrupted me in an extremely irritated tone: "I can understand your youthful rebellion, but I don't think a good girl should do anything at night, where is it, I will personally come and pick you up." ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Shen, I'm not coming back tonight, but don't worry, I'm really not doing anything bad outside."

"Zhang Lingsheng! Don't make me say it a second time! ”

I hung up the phone abruptly, my mind was in a mess, and I stood in the phone booth for a long time to calm down before returning to the house.

Bai Yiqing boiled a large pot of noodles, took three bowls, heard the sound of the door opening, raised his head from the bowl, and said vaguely: "Back?" I'm just going to make some noodles, and you're going to eat them. ”

"Hmm." I sat down next to Sunai, who didn't say a word the whole time, just buried her head in the bowl and slowly ate the noodles in the bowl.

After eating, Sunai took the initiative to clean up the dining table, and Bai Yiqing touched his stomach and lay on the sofa: "I'm so full." ”

Suddenly, the lights in the room flashed twice, and the previous experience made Bai Yiqing and me nervous all of a sudden, and our hearts rose to our throats.

Bai Yiqing dragged me back to the room and locked the door.

We stared at the door in horror, minute by minute, until ten minutes passed, nothing happened, thinking that we had been too sensitive just now, and then we breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly the room fell into darkness.

"Don't, don't be afraid, there's a charm, it won't dare come in." Bai Yiqing comforted me, but more self-comforting.

I finally got used to the darkness, the cold moonlight shone in faintly through the windowsill, and a wisp of evening breeze rolled up the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and there was a deathly silence.

"Sunai is still outside."

Bai Yiqing pulled me back: "You don't have to worry about her, the parasite will never do anything to Sunai, you must know that if Sunai is dead, it will not survive." ”

Suddenly, a sigh came clearly into my ears, close at hand, my eyes widened in panic, and I turned my head stiffly to see the bloody figure, standing upside down on the ceiling, grinning hideously.

"Be careful!!" Bai Yiqing let out a low roar and threw me to the ground, his back cut by the thing with a few bloody cuts.

After seeing the blood, it seemed to make her even more excited, Bai Yi stared at the monster in front of her with trembling breathing, took a charm casually, and threw it at the thing.

But after only a trace of black qi appeared in the talisman, there was no movement.

"Xiaobai, didn't you say that the charm is useful?"

"No, I don't know, it's usually useful to deal with those little ghosts." As he spoke, he touched the wound on his back and the blood on his hand.

"Giggle...... The thing let out an eerie laugh and twisted its head, fixing its gaze on me.

It's like, from the very beginning, she was the target of her attack.

"Xiaobai, she just seems to want to take my skin, she ...... She's not interested in you. ”

Bai Yiqing was about to cry: "What's the use of saying this now?" ”

"When she attacks me, you'll take the opportunity to escape."

"How's that going to work? You left your grandfather at home, and I have to protect you. With that, he got up and stepped back to the bed behind him, and pulled out a mirror from under the pillow.

"What is this?" The thing was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye: "Where did she go?" ”

I turned my head and looked around, Bai Yiqing exclaimed, raised the mirror and looked in front of me.

The mirror-reflected light was projected on the thing's arm, burning a trace of black. She screamed violently, withdrew her hand, and disappeared into thin air.

I got up and retreated to Bai Yiqing's side, if Bai Yiqing hadn't reacted quickly just now, I was afraid that I would have been injured.

"Hahahaha...... It seems that this thing still has some effect, and the gossip mirror bought at the stall for ten yuan is amazing, right?! ”

"It doesn't matter what you hurt, right?"

"It hurts a little, but it's out of the way."

For some reason, although I couldn't see her, my senses became more and more acute, suddenly. I felt her approaching as she gradually hid in the darkness, like a predatory beast, ready to pounce at any moment.

"Xiaobai, left!!"

Bai Yiqing reacted very quickly, and suddenly looked at the mirror to the left, just as the reflection of the mirror shone on her face, and the light burned her bloody blood, bubbling with a trace of black gas.

She covered her face and wailed and hid in the dark, Bai Yiqing looked surprised: "Baby, this mirror is really useful!" ”

I thought for a while and said, "Xiaobai, I think she's afraid of light. ”

"Huh??"

"This mirror, in fact, is just an ordinary mirror, but when you look at her, it will reflect the light, and she is extremely afraid of light, so every time she appears, it will be dark, and all the lights will be extinguished."

When Bai Yiqing heard this answer, although she was a little disappointed that this mirror was not a treasure, she quickly reacted: "So, as long as the lights in the house are turned on, she won't dare to come over again!" ”

"That's right. She's out of the room now, but I can't sense her exact location, so let's go out first and see if there's anything wrong with the switch. ”

"Ah, yes. Flashlight!! Bai Yiqing rummaged in the drawer for a while before taking out a flashlight and handing it to me, lit another candle by herself, and snorted coldly: "I think she dares to come over and burn her!" ”

Bai Yiqing and I walked out of the room at a slow pace, and she seemed to have disappeared, and she couldn't feel her breath at all.

We came outside. I checked the switch, and it was really pulled down.

But Bai Yiqing tried to pull the electric switch a few times, but the lights in the house did not respond: "I'll go!" Hurry up and call!! ”

Bai Yiqing wiped a cold sweat: "It's useless, it is estimated which line was cut off." ”

"Let's go find Sunai first!" I was about to enter the house, when suddenly a cold air hit me behind me, and I cried out in panic: "Xiaobai, behind you!" ”

The candle was blown out by the wind, and before I could react, it was so fast that it was knocked to the ground and the flashlight fell far away.

Bai Yiqing screamed, the thing bit his arm ferociously, I quickly got up from the ground, trying to pick up the flashlight, the thing suddenly let go of Bai Yiqing and pounced on me......
