Chapter 500: Spring Festival (2)
Li Yun's face was very pale, almost as white as the glimmer of light emanating from Bai Wuchang's body. The glimmer on Bai Wuchang's body is flickering and flickering, like snowflakes that appear and disappear under the street lamp.
After Li Yun realized Yu Xingxing's ability and some rules for the operation of this world, he knew that his existence, all ghosts, and all supernatural existences, even if it was well-intentioned, curing diseases and saving people, it was tantamount to drinking water to quench his thirst. Still, he was particularly sad after seeing the real case with his own eyes.
Li Yun thought of the tram problem.
One person was lying on one track, and ten people were lying on one track. The tram that was about to run over the ten people was speeding up, should he pull the wrench, save the ten people, and kill the other one?
Li Yun was a little lucky. At the very least, the conundrum he faces is not one person and ten people, but the question of one person dying now and dying in the future. As for the "ten", even if they existed, he would not be able to see them with his own eyes, and he would not have to face them personally.
Li Yun smiled bitterly.
The flickering light on Bai Wuchang's body dimmed and was completely extinguished.
Li Yun felt the emotions that burst out of his body for that moment, and saw the person that flashed in his mind.
That was Xiao Liyun, and it was also Wang Yiqiu's little nephew, the child that Li Yun watched the newly hired forensic doctor open out of the game box. On the day he met him, Li Yun also met Black and White Impermanence and Uncle Li. He still remembered that Xiao Liyun ran out of the forensic office after that, and it was Bai Wuchang who chased after him. He only knew what happened after that.
Now it seems that if he stood by Xiao Liyun's side at that time, he would have made the same choice as Bai Wuchang.
The difference between them and Hei Wuchang is that Hei Wuchang can see that choice, and will let another "Li Yun" die instead of Xiao Li Yun.
If he saw it, what would he do?
Li Yun didn't know.
He can't see the long term like Black Impermanence, he is iron-faced and selfless, and White Impermanence can't turn a blind eye to those weak victims.
Li Yun looked at the black impermanence.
This is probably the reason why black impermanence can be done in a position of black and white impermanence for thousands of years.
Li Yun recognized the practice of black impermanence and knew that it was the right way, but he couldn't do that kind of hard-hearted himself.
The lights of the ambulance broke the stalemate between the three of them - if you really want to talk about it, the only ones who fell into deep thought were Li Yun and Bai Wuchang, and after Hei Wuchang dropped the bomb, he looked up leisurely and looked up at the snow.
Li Yun watched as the ambulance stopped at the door of the residential building at his feet. He looked down, and after a while, he saw Feng Siyun who was hugged by his grandparents.
"I'm going to tell her." Li Yun said in a low voice.
Bai Wuchang turned his head sharply and looked at Li Yun. His hair fluttered along with his robe, and his body glowed white again.
"It's already like this, at least...... Let her know what to face. Li Yun said.
He turned around and was about to go downstairs when he heard Black Impermanence snorting coldly behind him.
Bai Wuchang stopped him.
"I'll take you down." Bai Wuchang grabbed one of Li Yun's arms.
Without waiting for Li Yun to agree, he dragged Li Yun and jumped down from the top of the building.
Li Yun felt his body pass through the railing until he fell. Because he was not prepared, he was caught by Bai Wuchang with his back to the sky.
Li Yun met the black impermanence and indifferent gaze on the roof of the building.
Vaguely, he seemed to feel the helplessness of Hei Wuchang at the moment.
Bai Wuchang quickly took him to the ground, and he also used his dexterity so that he didn't have to break the tail vertebrae.
Li Yun sat on the ground embarrassed, was lifted up by Bai Wuchang by the hand, grabbed a chicken, and directly carried the ambulance with the door closed.
Feng Siyun was lying on the stretcher, and when he saw Bai Wuchang and Li Yun suddenly appear, his dark eyes widened.
Li Yun coughed dryly, looked down at the little girl, and tried to squeeze out a smile.
He quickly gave up.
Looking at Feng Siyun's face seriously, Li Yun said solemnly: "Feng Siyun, I have something important to tell you now, you listen quietly, don't scare your grandparents." If you know, blink your eyes twice. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Yun saw Feng Siyun blink his eyes hesitantly.
Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
This little girl can not tell her father Feng Zhihui after witnessing her mother's death and seeing the evil ghost many times, Li Yun knows that she is a smart child. It's just that a child is a child after all. Li Yun sighed in his heart, organized his language, and told Feng Siyun some things about ghosts.
Now that Feng Siyun has opened her yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts, she can't let her wander around in this half of the world that belongs to ghosts. She needs to know where the dividing line between life and death is, and how to protect herself on the side of death, and try to retreat to the edge of the dividing line, not deeper.
Feng Siyun listened carefully, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Bai Wuchang.
I have to say that Bai Wuchang's outfit is very eye-catching, and for women, this attraction will probably multiply several times, and no matter how old or young, this is the case. It's just that when children see him, curiosity should be the majority. In recent years, there have been more people wearing Hanfu and playing cos, but not so many as to be frequently encountered on the street. Seeing such a typical costume in a bunch of modern people, everyone should be curious to take a second look.
Li Yun couldn't help but ask a few questions, confirming that Feng Siyun was still listening to him.
He was relieved, and a little funny.
After knowing that she was safe, the little girl's mind flew a little away.
“…… Those ghosts are temporarily staying in other people's homes for the Chinese New Year. Everyone was reunited, they were lonely, very lonely, so they found someone to live in. Don't be afraid, but don't get too close to them, don't let them know you can see them. There are good ghosts and there are bad ghosts. A good ghost may also become a bad ghost in the future. You know? Blink twice when you know. Li Yun tried to explain the whole thing in a language that children could understand.
Feng Siyun blinked, and peeked at Bai Wuchang again.
Bai Wuchang suddenly spoke: "After the Chinese New Year, they may also continue to stay." ”
Li Yun was taken aback and turned his head to look at Bai Wuchang.
"Before, they couldn't, but now they can come and go in and out of other people's homes at will, and if there are no restrictions, they may live forever." Bai Wuchang frowned, thinking of some troubles in the future.
Li Yun asked, "This is a bad thing, right?" ”
Ghosts that are detached from crowds and social interactions will go crazy and live among the living, and ghosts that cannot be seen or touched will be much better, and may even be in a worse situation.
"It's not clear where it goes." Bai Wuchang said.
The black and white impermanence walking in the human world has long noticed the ghosts that have moved during this time, however, due to their duties, they can only be a bystander now.
Bai Wuchang felt that the black seniors should know the root of the matter. All these changes seem to have originated from this year's winter solstice.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's related, this year he was taken to Phoenix's company by his black seniors, and he also sent two ghosts to Phoenix as subordinates. He had never heard of a phoenix before, and he had no idea that there was a phoenix soaring wantonly in the world. He later investigated it himself, and it took a lot of trouble to learn that the new media company had also suddenly recruited people this year, and it seemed that it was intent on starting business seriously.
Bai Wuchang's many thoughts, Li Yun couldn't "see" at all. Bai Wuchang's mood at the moment is very stable, the white light on his body is evenly bright, in such a state, Li Yun wants to peek into Bai Wuchang's heart, not to mention whether he can succeed or not, he will be discovered by Bai Wuchang first.
Bai Wuchang thought about these things for a while, and raised his eyes to look at the little girl who was looking at him intently.
Feng Siyun seemed to be peeping at the child who was caught, and lowered his head with a little blush.
The hospital had arrived, and the ambulance stopped.
Feng Siyun's grandmother comforted Feng Siyun and comforted herself. The old man struggled to climb out of the ambulance. The staff accompanying the car helped the two elderly people to carry the stretcher bed down.
Bai Wuchang and Li Yun both stepped aside, watching the stretcher bed fall in front of them.
"Live well." Bai Wuchang suddenly spoke.
Li Yun also said: "If there is anything, call for help." I'll hear you. ”
Feng Siyun's heart was sour, and his eyes turned red, but he stubbornly held back his tears.
She didn't let anyone find out about her anomaly, and no one knew that there were two people who came to visit her and protect her tonight.
"She'll live well." Li Yun watched Feng Siyun being sent to the hospital building, and said as if he was blessed and looked forward to.
Bai Wuchang said: "I didn't expect ......" He stopped halfway through his words and looked at Li Yun.
Li Yun smiled bitterly, and his smile gradually became free, "I'm like this, I have to get by, go with the flow." ”
He was like this during his lifetime, and not much has changed since he died and after his death. If you want to talk about emotional emotions, you can only have them when your loved ones die. but after death for the sake of those who are sick with him......
Li Yun thought of this, but slowly lost his smile.
Is he really just excited about the victims of the same disease? Or is it empathy, venting the resentment of his death on other demons?
Seem...... Neither......
He just......
Li Yun turned around and saw the residential community across from the hospital. His eyes can pass through the green trees and red walls and those festive Spring Festival decorations, see the people in the house, and can also see those ghosts who do not belong to the living family.
Li Yun realized at this moment that he, like these lonely ghosts, was just looking for a spiritual sustenance, longing for contact, getting along, and companionship with people.
He and Uncle Li died on their front and back feet and entered the company opened by the monster together, but the two of them have unknowingly embarked on different paths. Without family, friendship, and love, he is becoming more and more like a real ghost.
Li Yun was terrified for a moment.
"Are you alright?" The light on Bai Wuchang's body spread to Li Yun's body, and it had the same soothing effect as Li Yun's ability.
Li Yun gradually calmed down, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm fine. I was just...... Now I realize that I'm a ghost......"
Bai Wuchang's heart moved.
From the standpoint of identity, white impermanence, black impermanence and ghosts like Li Yun are the same. They should all expect the living to see them and recognize their existence. In this way, the dividing line between life and death remains unchanged, but only these "ghosts" have the ability to decide the life and death of the living. It's just that, emotionally speaking, Bai Wuchang is the same as Li Yun, he is too entangled, always thinking that he is still a living person, and always feels that he is on the side of the living.
Bai Wuchang remembered what the black predecessor had said to him.
He was getting closer and closer to that fork in the road. Sooner or later, he will need to make a decision, whether to be an impartial law enforcement Bai Impermanence like the black predecessors and live according to the rules of this heaven and earth for a long time, or to flexibly wander on the edge of the rules and be a special ghost.
Li Yun, like him, will have to make a choice sooner or later.
Just thinking like this, Bai Wuchang heard the ringing of his mobile phone.
He was a little unaccustomed to carrying his mobile phone, and after more than ten seconds of ringing, he felt in his pocket and took out his mobile phone. Only Li Yun can call his mobile phone, and Li Yun is right in front of him.
Bai Wuchang looked at the phone with a black screen, raised his eyes to look at Li Yun, and saw that he was still immersed in his own world, so he looked left and right without a trace.
People come and go around them.
There is never a shortage of people in front of the hospital's emergency department, but no one stops here. Not far away, at the gate of the hospital, there were people huddled there waiting for a taxi.
Bai Wuchang had no choice but to look at Li Yun, and was about to speak, when he found that the persistent ringtone of the mobile phone had stopped. Bai Wuchang secretly lowered his head, glanced at Li Yun's expression, and stopped talking, but just shrouded Li Yun with the white light he emitted.
The phone rang again.
Bai Wuchang was sure that the voice came from Li Yun this time, and reminded: "Your mobile phone." ”
Li Yun was shocked and took out the mobile phone on his body.
Seeing that the caller was Uncle Li, Li Yun looked relieved and answered the phone.
As soon as "Uncle Li......" was called, Li Yun felt the anger on the other end of the phone, and also found that Uncle Li's mobile phone was not in Uncle Li's hand now.
"What are you doing? Really, am I a summoning beast? You're used to it, aren't you? Yi Xin yelled angrily.
Li Yun took his phone a little farther away, "Are you in the dormitory now?" Or is it this way? ”
"Can you tell me where you're going?" Yi Xin asked coldly, "I don't even have an address, where can I find it?" ”
Li Yun was a little embarrassed, and was about to explain the situation here, when he felt Yi Xin's anger rise again.
"You dog men really don't have a good thing! When you think about it, you will come as soon as you call it, and when you run out, you will go away! Fuck you bastard! Chi Hongfei, you bastard! Woowoooo......oo
Li Yun's words were stuck, and he listened to the easy cry on the other end of the phone with some shock.
Chi Hongfei is apparently her current boyfriend's name. He himself should now be thousands of miles away in Beijing. Could it be that Yi Xin went out tonight and flew to Beijing to find a boyfriend? It's not impossible, but it doesn't seem to have enough time for her to fly back and forth, right? If it wasn't by plane back and forth, it would have flown to Beijing with her body...... Li Yun didn't know Yi Xin's maximum flight speed, nor did he know the maximum flight speed of bats, but judging from the experience he had personally experienced and witnessed before, Yi Xin could definitely do this kind of thing.
Li Yun's heart immediately tightened.
Chi Hongfei won't have been killed by Yi Xin, right?
"Don't cry yet." Li Yun persuaded a little stupidly, "Don't cry." Tell me what's wrong. Have you been to Beijing to see your boyfriend? ”
"Look fart! He is harder to see than a condemned prisoner! Yi Xin stopped crying and scolded angrily, "My mother has been in love for hundreds of years, and I have never met such a dog man!" After she finished scolding Chi Hongfei, she pointed the finger at Li Yun again, "Do you remember what you promised me before?" ”
"What's the matter?" Li Yun couldn't remember what he had promised Yi Xin.
"Let you get hepatitis, I will send you to Beijing to see a doctor."
That's not the content of the bet, and you're still losing? Li Yun wanted to ask this rhetorically, but his cold hairs stood on end, and he sensitively sensed that Yi Xin was very dangerous now.
"Okay, okay." Li Yun stammered, insincerely, but he agreed to come down.
Yi Xin's mood on the other end of the phone suddenly improved a lot, and he asked very gently, "Then are you done with your little girl's affairs?" Do you want me to help? ”
"It's already fine, no need to help." Li Yun sighed.
"Then come back quickly. When we came back, we went to the third courtyard to look for the old man. The Third Hospital should have a way to make you infected with hepatitis, right? ”
"Probably." Li Yun said a perfunctory sentence weakly.
Yi Xin hung up the phone with a smile, regardless of Li Yun's mood.
Li Yun pinched his phone, looked up at Bai Wuchang, and asked, "Do ghosts get sick?" If you get sick, will you die? ”
Bai Wuchang was stunned, "I'll ask the black senior for you......"
Li Yun didn't know the spiritual communication between Bai Wuchang and Black Impermanence, and when he heard Bai Wuchang say this, he immediately looked strange.
"Black seniors say ......"
Li Yun looked at Bai Wuchang in surprise.
"......'If you don't get it right, you're going to die.'" Bai Wuchang relayed.
One can imagine how Black Impermanence said this sarcastically.
Li Yun's scalp was numb.
"But as long as you're conscious, it's fine. Your body structure is no longer the same as that of a living person. Ghosts, it is consciousness that determines matter. Bai Wuchang hurriedly explained, which sounded like his own addition, not Hei Wuchang's original words.
This sounds simple and clear, but in practice, it is complicated.
Li Yun can influence the emotions of others, but he can't change his own perception at will. It's just that thinking that he wants to be independent of the boss's power, not borrowing the boss's flame, and being able to deal with evil spirits, Li Yun feels that he needs to give it a try.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the hospital for most of the day, waiting for Feng Siyun and her grandparents who came out of the emergency room.
Li Yun looked at the little girl in surprise.
The little girl pretended not to see Li Yun and Bai Wuchang, and was in good spirits and instructed her grandfather how to use his mobile phone to take a taxi.
She took her grandparents to the entrance of the hospital, and while the two old people were not paying attention, she looked back at Li Yun and Bai Wuchang, revealing a bright smile.
"Thank you." Feng Siyun whispered.
On the way out, she turned back frequently, as if she had been thinking for a long time, and only after getting into the taxi, she opened the window and shouted from afar: "Happy Spring Festival!" ”
In the car, my grandmother and grandfather asked suspiciously, "Who are you talking to?" ”
Li Yun heard Feng Siyun's answer from a distance.
"Talk to the hospital. I...... I was saved by them, and I won't necessarily come during the Chinese New Year......"
"I definitely won't come during the Chinese New Year. You're good ......," Grandma said busily.
The taxi drove away, taking away the voices of the three grandchildren.
Li Yun's heart warmed, knowing that Feng Siyun had listened to what he said in the ambulance.
Ghosts can be very lonely during the Chinese New Year...... But it's not absolute.
He felt the white light around him also warm, melting the snowflakes fluttering in the sky.
All the entanglements, at this moment, dissolved.
