Chapter 19: Hope

"Your Excellency, God is mighty, and his mana is vast. The subordinates once again thanked the adults for their help. ”

"Well, it's fine."

Seeing Xu Feng take action to catch this evil ghost, the leading horse face and other yin men were relieved.

Ma Mian turned around and hurriedly thanked him.

Xu Feng glanced at the horse noodles more, but he couldn't tell if it was the horse noodles he had seen before.

Facing the horse's head, Xu Feng really couldn't see it, but by feeling, it was probably not.

Turning his head again, Xu Feng looked at the evil ghost who had been caught by him.

The demon was grasped by his outstretched hand, but he was still struggling and roaring,

"Roaring ......"

The devil's tattered clothes, shriveled body, hideous face,

It's all soaked in blood.

The open mouth bared its fangs, and its white hands stretched out with sharp claws.

Resentful, angry, and kept roaring, trying to break free of Xu Feng's hand.

But Xu Feng's outstretched giant hand was like a solid cage, and it easily restrained this evil ghost between these square inches.

Let the evil spirit struggle as much as it wants, and let the blood of the evil spirit flow as much as it goes.

The blood flowing from his face seemed to evaporate before it fell on Xu Feng's hand,

The blood that leached out of his body seemed to be accumulating, but there was no way to get out of the gap in Xu Feng's palm, nor could it do any harm to Xu Feng's palm.

Xu Feng's own feeling now,

It's like pinching a small bug, although you can feel it seems to be struggling slightly.

But he still had to be careful with his force, lest he accidentally pinch him to death.

"Roar...... Roar ......"

roared in Xu Feng's hand again, struggling for a while,

The demon's body became weaker and quieter.

"I'll leave this evil ghost over to you."

"Good. Thank you, sir. ”

Ma Mian listened to Xu Feng's words, untied a soul hook rope from his waist, and threw it towards the evil ghost that had been caught by Xu Feng.

Re-bind the demons at once.

Xu Feng withdrew his hand, and on the way to retract his hand, he changed from a giant hand back to his normal appearance.

And the evil ghost seemed to see Xu Feng withdraw his hand,

Struggled and roared again,

But probably because of the serious consumption, the soul body is illusory, and it can't break free anymore.

Just kept looking around, Xu Feng and Emperor Meng roared angrily.

"Do you have any other commands?"

The horse face looked back at the demon that had been controlled,

Then he turned his head to look at Xu Feng and asked,

"It's okay, I'm just passing by on other things."

"Then this evil ghost, does it have any effect on the affairs of adults?"

"Well, if it's convenient, I'd like to ask this demon a few words."

"Convenience, naturally convenience."

Ma Mian nodded, responded, and then stopped.

It's just holding the chain of souls bound to the evil spirits in his hands, and he stands by and waits.

The other Yin cha who participated in the arrest also came back and waited.

Xu Feng turned his head and looked at the captured demon again.

Probably blinded by anger and resentment, this evil ghost seems to have no sense at all.

At this moment, as the yin qi of the soul body was consumed, the evil ghost gradually gained some clear consciousness.

"Roaring ......"

Roared again...... The demon stopped talking,

Then he stared at Xu Feng and Ah Meng, and the other horses were in a bad mood.

"I have something to ask you, did you hurt a blind man with gauze wrapped in his eyes passing by here?"

Xu Feng saw that this evil ghost seemed to be a little conscious, and asked out loud.

But the evil ghost still stared at Xu Feng and Ah Meng and did not answer.

It seemed that he was still resentful that Xu Feng had caught him.

"Your Excellency asks you!"

Xu Feng was not angry.

But the horse was a little angry at the appearance of the evil spirit.

The soul hook rope in his hand was thrown at one end.

As the Soul Hook Rope trembled, the evil ghost on the other end who was tied to the Soul Hook Rope seemed to have been whipped and let out a miserable scream,

"Ah......h

And then I didn't know the pain as before,

Trembling all over, he looked at the horse with some fear.

"Look, hurry up and answer the words of the adults!"

“…… The one that was towed away by the ambulance just now was killed by me. ”

At first, he replied with some fear and pain, but when it came to killing, there was some anger sprouting in the eyes of this evil ghost, and he was a little unscrupulous.

"Why kill him? Is it just because he's been here at night? ”

"I want him dead! Isn't he going to be able to see things the day after tomorrow? Ha, I'll let him never see it! ”

As he spoke, the ghost's face became a little hideous and terrifying, and with resentment in his eyes, he grinned and replied with a smile.

"You know him? How do you know that the day after tomorrow he will be able to regain his light and see things? ”

"I don't know. He's happy there, I'm here, I can't hear it. ”

Grinning hideously, the evil ghost responded.

"Just because of this, you hurt him?"

"Why is he!"

Listening to Xu Feng's words, the evil ghost seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly became angry again,

As if he had lost his mind, even if the soul hook rope that locked him was tightened, his soul body seemed to be steaming and dissipating, and he was still struggling wildly, roaring at Xu Feng,

"Why should I die, they can live, live so well!"

The demon roared, and his eyes showed resentment,

"Why did I die like this, but they can live better and better! I don't want them to be so happy! He didn't want to see what the world was like, so let's see it after he died! I want him to die at this time, and I can't wait for the day after tomorrow...... Ha...... Haha......"

As he spoke, the demon laughed wildly.

The surrounding yin was so bad that they all frowned when they heard it.

"I've heard there's been some other things going on here, and you've done that?"

Xu Feng looked at this evil ghost and paused.

"It's me, it's all me. Some time ago, a couple passed by here, you know, they said that they were going to get married in two days, haha, that happy! I make them happy! ”

"I'll let them be happy to be ghost mandarin ducks! Let's see if we can be together in the next life! ”

"There is also a student who has just graduated and found a job, all the way, all the way to his friends looking forward to his future life, all the way to think about it, all the way to his friends...... I made him look forward to it! I let him dream!

I'm going to let him fail all his expectations, all his hopes are gone! ”

The demon was sometimes hideous, sometimes laughing, and talking.

"You deliberately hurt these people who have hope and expectations in life? Do you hate them because your hopes have been disappointed? How did you die? ”

Xu Feng looked at him and asked again.

The hideous-looking demon stopped.

After a pause, he replied,

“…… I'm a driver who pulls goods. On the way out, I pulled a steel pipe, and I was afraid to send it to the place. When I came back, I pulled a cartload of water and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back, my wife called me and told me that she had found a new job and was cashier at the supermarket. I also told that my son was admitted to a good university. In the evening, I want to buy some meat and vegetables, and the family eats a meal.

I asked her to buy two cans of beer and I was going to have two sips with my son in the evening. She said a few words to me, but agreed. ”

"I hung up the phone and I drove on the way back. When I was on the highway, I got off the highway with my heart, sometimes stopped in front of the traffic light, and I was still thinking about what to say to my son at night, when he grew up, he was going to study in the city alone, what should I say to him as a father......"

"Until we get here...... Everything was ruined by the damn old brute, who rode a tricycle, and in the middle of the night, ran straight through the red light...... I subconsciously hit the steering wheel to avoid it, and I overturned...... And the damn bastard ran away! I was crushed under the car and heard my phone ringing before I died! It's my son's call! ”

"I've been here ever since! But the old brute never came from here...... I saw the student, I saw the little couple, I saw the blind man! ”

"Why! Why can they get over it for the better! They are so hopeful, and I am like that, nothing! That's how I died! I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! ”

"Aren't they happy? Isn't it anticipation? Then I'm going to let their expectations go down. Don't they look forward to the day after tomorrow? I just let them never reach the day after tomorrow, don't they look forward to what will happen after the first month's salary, I just let them never reach that time, aren't they looking forward to the life after marriage? I'm going to let them never get married in their lifetime! ”

As he spoke, the demon's face became hideous and distorted again, his eyes were red and bloody, and his mind seemed to be blinded by anger again.

"So, you inflict the despair you had encountered on someone else?"

Xu Feng looked at the shriveled and hideous figure, and asked again.

The demon listened, paused, and did not answer, but continued to laugh hideously,

"I want them to die! Why, why did I die like this! I'm going to let their hopes go down! ”

The demon continued to roar.

Xu Feng looked at the distorted figure and didn't speak again.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, sir? If not, I'll take this demon down to justice. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Feng nodded again.

Ma Mian said goodbye to Xu Feng with other bad luck, and went down with the evil ghost.

Crossroads, quiet again.

Only traffic lights remain, and numbers jump from time to time.

Looking at the road where there was still some bloodstains, Xu Feng paused, and then looked at the convenience store on the side of the street,

I could feel that the desert cat was still in the convenience store. However, Xu Feng didn't want to go over and take a look.

"Let's go, Ameng, let's go to the cinema where the guest wants to go."

"Okay."

Turning his head, Xu Feng said to Ah Meng beside him again.

Ah Meng didn't speak out loud when Xu Feng asked about the evil ghost before,

Just took Xu Feng's hand and stood quietly beside Xu Feng.

discerning the next direction, and then following the street,

Xu Feng and Ah Meng naturally held hands and walked towards the nearest movie theater from here.

……

In the cinema.

Even late at night, there are still people behind the counter.

It seems that when Xu Feng and A Meng came, there was a movie ending,

One after another, figures came out of the cinema hall.

Standing at the front desk of the movie theater, Xu Feng looked at those people, and then at the furnishings of the movie theater.

Some film displays, posters of classic pictures of classic movies, and some promotions of new movies.

The overhead screen shows the time of today's movie show, just like a regular movie theater, but this movie theater is probably not that big.

Turning back again, Xu Feng looked at Ah Meng, and then walked towards the counter with Ah Meng.

"Hello sir, do you want to get a ticket?"

The person who was sitting behind the counter stood up and asked when he saw someone coming.

"No, are there any more movie screenings today?"

"It's getting late today, I'll take a look...... And the last movie, the ...... in Hall 3 Just two minutes into the game. ”

"Well, okay, do you still have a ticket?"

"Yes, two seats in a row."

The person behind the counter responded, while giving Xu Feng and Ah Meng tickets,

On the other hand, he was still a little curious, and peeked at Xu Feng several times, probably to see the location of Xu Feng's eyes.

Looking at this person's appearance, Xu Feng guessed that it was probably his own appearance, which was a little special in the eyes of this waiter.

"Am I anything strange?"

"No, it's just that you're wearing sunglasses, a little curious, sorry. Your ticket. ”

"It's fine."

Probably transformed into a blind man.

Watching this movie on behalf of that guest?

"Want a snack? Mr? ”

"Let's have some popcorn and chips......"

Xu Feng was about to leave with the ticket, but after listening to the waiter's words, he agreed.

In the end, Xu Feng took the ticket, and Ah Meng held the popcorn.

The two picked up the tickets and entered the cinema hall.

When you enter the theater,

The movie was played for several minutes.

In the theater,

Xu Feng and Ah Meng sat together, did not speak, and remained quiet.

It's like two ordinary theatergoers, watching this movie.

It's a very simple movie,

It's probably about an athlete who has been seriously injured in his legs and feet, so that he is paralyzed.

After repeated struggles, dozens of surgeries, and more than two years of rehabilitation, the story of standing on the field again.

At the end of the story, the protagonist only won the runner-up in that game, but the protagonist was happy and the audience cheered for him.

After reading it,

When the other audience left, Xu Feng and Ah Meng also walked out of the theater at the end.

Other audience members walked towards the outside of the theater one after another,

Xu Feng turned his head and saw a figure in the crowd,

It was probably a blind man, with a blind cane in his hand and sunglasses, and gradually walked outside the theater.

Looking at it, Xu Feng paused, then turned around and returned to the counter.

“…… Hello, the night after tomorrow, are there still tickets for this movie? ”

"Yes...... Is it? Some. ”

"Please give me one for later the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

After buying the movie ticket, Xu Feng and Ah Meng went out of the cinema.

……

The Lethe River is still so calm,

After a long silence, there was not a single wave.

The flowers on the other side of the river, some of the flowers that had bloomed before, some withered, and the petals fell to the ground,

But there are also some that have previously opened their leaves, and now they are blooming.

Probably because Meng Po soup always has petals and leaves? The flowers on the other side always bloom in turn, repeatedly.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng returned to the back door of the Lethe Inn.

One hand is holding Ah Meng, and the other hand is still holding a movie ticket.

Raising his head, Xu Feng glanced at the guest in the inn.

And he saw that the guest's blind cane was set aside, and his head covered with gauze was bowed, and he was curled up in hatred, and sat on the stool.

Motionless, like a dead sculpture.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng had been coming back outside the Lechuan Inn for a while, and they didn't see this guest raise his head.

Probably, like the previous guests,

As Xu Feng and Ah Meng went to the world, understood, saw some things, and found their obsessions, they also remembered some things.

Like what...... Why are they here?

What happened before you got lost, or came here.

After a pause, Xu Feng and Ah Meng returned to the inn.

"What does Mr. Luo remember?"

Xu Feng walked to the table and sat down in front of the guest, Luo Zhiming.

Hearing this, Luo Zhiming raised his head, was silent for a while, and nodded,

"Hmm."

"I remember, I went out at night to do some shopping. Follow the road. When I got to the intersection, I stopped for a while, didn't hear a car, and slowly crossed the road along the zebra crossing. ”

"But out of nowhere, a car came out of nowhere, and soon, I felt a hard hit, and then there was no citrus...... When I first woke up, I was dazed, I couldn't see or hear anything around me.

I just felt like I had fallen, and then I kept going, and I realized that I was lost, and I ended up here......"

Luo Zhiming finished speaking and fell silent again.

Sitting there without saying a word.

He was looking forward to a new life, and he was full of longing to see the new life after that.

Ever since the surgery, he has been looking forward to the world he can really see after the gauze is removed.

But at that moment, destroyed by a sudden crossing, everything fell through.

He could no longer go to the hospital and have the doctor uncover the gauze in front of his eyes.

It is no longer possible to answer the doctor's question, 'Do you see clearly?'

I can't say the words that have been going on for a long time - "See, this world is so beautiful." ”

His life came to an abrupt end at that moment, and his expectations for the future ended at that moment.

It's also because he doesn't want to accept it, so he still feels that he is lost and has to go to the cinema.

"It's a movie ticket to the nearest movie theater around there. I've seen it and it's been well shot. This is the same movie, the movie ticket for the night after tomorrow. ”

Xu Feng looked at Luo Zhiming, who was silent,

did not melt the movie ticket into Meng Po soup, but handed it to Luo Zhiming.

Luo Zhiming reached out and touched it, touched it, took it,

Then he lowered his head and was silent, just clutching the movie ticket tightly in his arms.

The whole body trembled slightly, and then there were tears, which flowed out of the eyes under the gauze, and flowed down the face, but there was no crying.

Looking at this Luo Zhiming,

Xu Feng paused again and said.

"Actually, you can untie the gauze. You can take a look around here. ”

Blindness originally only acts on the body, but it is blindness of the eye, but it is not blindness of the heart.

Luo Zhiming has already returned to the underworld at this moment, and the gauze in front of him should not be there.

It's just that most people still remain the same as they were when they died after they died.

Listening to Xu Feng's words, Luo Zhiming, who was trembling, slowly raised his head,

"Okay?"

Luo Zhiming asked, then stretched out his other hand and grabbed the gauze in front of his eyes.

But in fact, he couldn't catch it,

I pulled the gauze with my hand and pulled it with all my strength, but I couldn't pull it off.

It's like that piece of gauze has grown with him.

"Can't take it down......"

His hands trembled, and Luo Zhiming said with some pain.

"It's okay, I'll come."

Xu Feng stretched out his hand.
