Through the moonlight and the screen light of her mobile phone, Yu Luying carefully examined the injury on Zhou Qi's abdomen - there was a scar the size of a bowl above her navel, in addition to the bruise caused by the blow, there was also a high-temperature burn, and the redness and swelling of the wound could vaguely be seen as a ring, or a horseshoes-like brand.

Compared with Yu Luying's calmness, Shen Jie seemed a little eager to see but didn't dare to look at it.

Her little head was on the side, her eyes half-covered, and her mouth made a "hiss-" sound.

"Let me be well." Xiao Xiong and Xiao Yao walked up, but Yu Luying put down Zhou Qi's clothes: "What do boys look at!" ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes slightly.

Xiao Yao didn't think it was wrong, and felt that Yu Luying's action was a little cute, while Xiong Ji stuck out his tongue and muttered in a low voice: "Old nun." ”

"Guante. (Note: Shut up)" Xiao Yao kicked Xiong Ji lightly, and Yu Luying lifted the flip cover of the mobile phone and pressed down the three numbers 120.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao was startled, and snatched the mobile phone from the girl's palm.

"Call the emergency number? The burns weren't too serious, but we couldn't tell the extent of the internal organs—"

"Aren't you a nerd, you're stupid at reading?" Xiao Yao said: "Our gang of people appeared in the school in the middle of the night and found a classmate who had been missing for a long time, and he still had such serious injuries on his body, how are you going to explain it to the police uncle?" ”

"That'...... Do you want to leave it alone? ”

"Shen Jie," Xiao Yao turned to Shen Jie: "Your family is well-connected, you should be able to contact a trustworthy private clinic, send Zhou Qi over first, tell them not to call the police first, and then we will slowly-"

Shen Jie nodded and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it." ”

"Xiong Ji, you—" Xiao Yao continued to instruct.

"Who's there?" A middle-aged man's voice came from downstairs, accompanied by a bright light from a flashlight: "Is there anyone?" ”

Worst! It's a night guard!

Everyone looked at each other, all searching for a suitable hiding place.

The sound of the guard's feet and the glare of the flashlight approached quickly, and the bear immediately made a decision and hid in the ...... Lady.

Xiao Yao subconsciously reached out to pull Shen Jie's hand, but he was inexplicably empty. Before he had time to think about it, he leaned over the edge of the window at the end of the hallway, and landed gently on a small platform that stretched out of the window.

Then, Shen Jie also turned out, and the two of them were close together, pressing their heads under the window.

Just looking down, his legs were about to become weak, Xiao Yao subconsciously closed his eyes.

"Oh no, Yu Luying and ...... What about Zhou Qi? Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.

Shen Jie didn't speak, Xiao Yao opened her eyes and looked at her, only to see the girl put the index finger of her right hand up on her lips, and made a "I don't know" with her mouth.

The heavy footsteps of the security guards and the annoying glare flashlight were already dangling from this floor of the principal's office, and Xiao Yao held his breath.

Thankfully, after a few minutes, the footsteps and bright light faded away.

"Are you gone?" Shen Jie asked in an extremely slight voice.

"The security guard should be gone." Xiao Yao knelt outside the windowsill and cautiously looked into the corridor: "It should be." ”

"Let's go." Shen Jie immediately decided.

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie climbed into the corridor through the window again, and Yu Luying had already carried the unconscious Zhou Qi out of the shadows: "Let's go, where is the little bear?" ”

"Where's the women's bathroom?" Xiao Yao asked: "I'm scared to death, where did you just hide with Zhou Qi, so big two living people, the security guard is blind?" ”

Yu Luying didn't answer Xiao Yao's question, the three of them called Xiao Xiong out, and hurriedly went downstairs and left the "Zhongshu Tower".

Instead of going to the playground, I climbed the fence from the abandoned small staff carport behind the school.

The height of the wall is not high, and climbing from the roof of the carport is very easy for Shen Jie.

Yu Luying relied on the long legs of the person and climbed up smoothly.

Xiao Yao had never successfully climbed before, but today he actually reached the top easily, and he didn't know if it was because of sharing Yu Luying's state, or because of the results of accumulating combat experience in the palace.

It was not easy to pull the bear and the unconscious Zhou Qi up, but fortunately they had a lot of people.

Then, Shen Jie was the first to jump off the wall lightly, and then helped Yu Luying come down.

Yu Luying and Shen Jie took Xiao Yao together, and after Xiao Yao stood still, he took Zhou Qi from the bear, and finally hugged the bear.

Standing on the road again, Xiao Yao felt alive - or rather, found a sense of reality again.

"We're really out of the mirror, right?" Xiao Yao asked something that he felt a little silly.

He inspected his body - at this moment, Xiao Yao realized that the uninjured body was really beautiful!

This is an insight that is difficult to get in ordinary life.

The wounded right hand and right arm were full of vitality again, and the wounds on the head, the internal wounds in the stomach, and all the injuries suffered in the temple were gone.

It is truly called a "resurrection of full blood."

Yu Luying wore a waisted women's white shirt, a brown schoolbag on her shoulders, and aqua blue skinny jeans underneath, the high-waisted design showed her long legs at a glance, her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her feet were still snow-white sneakers and plain white cotton socks that had remained unchanged for thousands of years—this was the outfit she wore when I met her at the school gate on Saturday morning.

Coincidentally, Shen Jie also tied her hair into a high ponytail, wore a peaked cap diagonally, wore a black crop top and khaki loose wide-leg pants, and the long trouser legs covered the white dad shoes with a sole of 10cm, revealing only one toe.

Xiao Yao is glad that Shen Jie's limited-edition shoes are back.

The girls also showed no injuries on their bodies, and their clothes were clean and undamaged.

If it weren't for Shen Jie and Yu Luying standing on one side, Zhou Qi in a coma, Xiao Yao would even begin to wonder if everything he experienced in the mirror was a dream.

"Nonsense, the mirrors were all broken by me, of course they really came out." Xiong Ji answered: "In addition, I have to hurry home first, I came out to make a bottle of soy sauce, what time is it, I will be scolded to death when I go back." ”

"Hey, then you don't have to go around talking about our business today." Xiao Yao said uneasily.

Xiong Ji raised an OK gesture as he walked, leaving only a dashing back.

"I called a car to take Zhou Qi to the hospital, you and Xiao Yao go to Father Yu and tell him what happened to us." Shen Jie put down her phone.

Yu Luying nodded.

This road is remote and difficult to find, Shen Jie and Yu Luying carried Zhou Qi to the main road, but Xiao Yao stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and took Zhou Qi's arm from Yu Luying: "Yu Luying, you go to the hall to find your uncle first, and I will send Shen Jie and Zhou Qi to the car." ”

Yu Luying looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously, nodded and said, "Okay, you guys should be more careful." ”

Xiao Yao accompanied Shen Jie to drive Zhou Qi to the main road, and waited for the agreed car under a conspicuous street sign.

The boy and the girl talked with each other - I don't know why, Xiao Yao always felt that since leaving the mirror world, Shen Jie's attitude towards him had changed a lot.

How to describe it? Polite, friendly, distant, polite, cold, businesslike......?

It's like, waking up from a dream?

"I'm a little hungry......" Xiao Yao had nothing to say: "Are you hungry?" ”

"Chocolate first?" Shen Jie took out a strip of dark chocolate from her trouser pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Yao's pocket: "I'm fine." ”

"It's like the ...... we drank together," Mr. Xiao said.

"Well, yes."

An ambulance pulled up silently beside the three of them.

Xiao Yao helped Shen Jie hand over Zhou Qi to the medical staff in the car, and asked in a casual tone, "Speaking of this chocolate...... We were in ...... Everything you say on the way to the parent-child education center counts, right? ”

Shen Jie straightened Zhou Qi's head and asked lightly, "What words?" ”

"That's it...... What we said when we drank this chocolate together......" Xiao Yao's heart sank: "What is it...... Rice Community College, MBA, ...... Woman...... The son-in-law is the successor, and he is working hard to become a king, what the hell. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go with the car." Shen Jie said to the driver, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "I'll find a chance to tell Dad." ”

"That is, it all counts?" Xiao Yao helped the medical staff gently put down Zhou Qi's stretcher.

"Hmm." Shen Jie nodded, and made a gesture of making a call: "Let's go, let's talk on the phone." ”

Xiao Yao wanted to hug her, but the girl bent down and got into the car, and the medical staff pushed the two doors with a "bang".

Zhou Qi's life and death are uncertain, sending her to the hospital is a major matter of human life, Xiao Yao is naturally not good at this time, so he had to knock on the glass: "Be careful on the road, call me in time if there is anything!" ”

Shen Jie didn't speak, just nodded, and then the ambulance started.

Xiao Yao stood still, watching the ambulance with the siren disappear into the night.

He hoped that Shen Jie would look back at him again and wave her hand, but the girl didn't look back at all.

Xiao Yao walked sullenly in the direction of the church, feeling a little panicked along the way.

Why is this woman always like this?

Xiao Yao opened the mailbox of text messages exchanged with Shen Jie, closed it again, opened it, and closed it again.

When I arrived at the church, I saw from a distance that the side door of the church was hidden, and warm light spilled out of the cracks. Xiao Yao walked in with ease, went up to the second floor, and advanced into Father Yu's office without knocking.

"Is that what you're talking about?" Father Yu was holding a pencil in his right hand and drawing something on an A4 piece of paper, and there were already several pieces of waste paper lying in the paper basket beside him.

After the drawing, Father Yu put up the A4 paper.

"yes, that's pretty much it." Yu Luying nodded in confirmation.

Xiao Yao looked at it, wasn't what was drawn on that piece of paper the phantom that appeared behind him when Teacher Yao beat him?

Teacher Yao's ...... Spiritual fortress?

"This, this is not the ...... behind Teacher Yao," Xiao Yao stammered.

Unexpectedly, Father Yu is still a small painter, although it cannot be said that it is exactly the same, and it is inseparable from that image.

"Sure enough, it's him." Father Yu sighed.

"He? Who is it? Xiao Yao said inexplicably.

"The image you see behind Mr. Yao's shadow is very similar to the image of the demon Asmour-Tai described in The Key of Solomon."

"Demons?" "Asmothy?" Xiao Yao and Yu Luying asked at the same time.

"Doesn't Asmothy know? It's in the Bible. Father Yu's tone was a little impatient.

"Yes...... Have it? Yu Luying asked with a confused look in her eyes, and her uncle grabbed the book on the desk as thick as a brick and threw it over: "I told you to read the Bible more often, but you just don't read it well!" ”

"Hey, don't throw it, don't throw it," Xiao Yao stretched out his hands in front of him and shook them, and sat down next to Yu Luying: "Can you explain to me what you're talking about?" Also, can you tell me, what day of the week is it? ”

"On Saturday," said Father Yu, "you and Xiao Shen have only been in for more than three hours. ”

"How is this possible?!" Xiao Yao exclaimed, "I feel like we've been in it for two days or three days!" ”

"It's a little strange, and I can't explain it," said Father Yu, "I remember that when you were at the cash drawer this morning, you only went in for a short time, and when you came out, it was noon, right?" That's what you told me, right? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Yao fell into thought: "Actually, I'm not very sure, maybe I've been in a coma in the love hotel room for longer than I thought?" ”

"Can you be reliable?"

"Love hotel?" Yu Luying's face turned to Xiao Yao.

"Don't argue, don't argue, come one thing at a time." Father Yu lowered his head and stretched out his two arms: "I'll discuss the matter of the speed of time passage later, Ying Ying said that you cut off Teacher Yao's shadow?" ”

"I didn't cut it, I cut it by the bear." Xiao Yao replied truthfully.

"How can you cut down someone's shadow?" Father Yu clasped his head in his hands.

"I didn't cut it," Xiao Yao repeated, "So what happens if you cut the shadow?" I was about to ask you. ”

"I don't know." Father Yu spread his hands.

"I don't know what you're anxious about?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.

"But it's certainly not good." "The shadow is also part of a person's complete personality, and when a person's shadow is destroyed, I don't know what will happen to him," said Father Yu. ”

"Isn't it like what we Chinese people say, three souls and six souls are missing one soul and two souls?" Xiao Yao kind of understood.

"If you have to understand it that way, you can do it." "Desire is also an indispensable part of a person, what will become of a person if he has no desire at all? So ......"

"Who is the White Knight?" "So who the hell is Asmothy?" The two men asked each other questions at the same time.

"You say it first, you say it first." Xiao Yao raised his right hand.

"Asmothy is one of the ancient demons whose names appear in the Bible," explains Fr. Yu, "and one of the 72 Pillars of Hell depicted in Solomon's Key." ”

"Such a dick......" Xiao Yao smacked his tongue.

"Asmodeus is generally believed to represent the 'lust' of the Seven Sins."

"That's really appropriate," Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Teacher Yao is the devil?" ”

"Fart," Father Yu said, rolling his eyes, "how can a man be a devil?" Only the devil enters the hearts of men......"

"I see." Xiao Yao remembered what the black shadow behind him said when Teacher Yao beat him, and seemed to understand something: "So, is Teacher Yao really a victim?" ”

"Boy," Father Yu crossed his fingers and stared at Xiao Yao, "tell me everything that happened after you and Xiao Shen entered the mirror, don't miss every detail, Ying Ying has already told me everything she knows." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yao began to talk about the mirror they entered the school, first how they got out of the maze of the love hotel, how they were knocked down by Seckel and sent to the water prison, how they got out, how they witnessed Zhou Qi's memories and heard Teacher Yao's confession, and how they "defeated" Juhua Seckel and was rescued by the White Knight, and went to the parent-child education center under the guidance of the White Knight to find Yu Luying, and the whole process of fighting with Yu Luying was told as it was, but he omitted his "MBA" with Shen Jie and (at the request of Father Yu) omitting the specific content of Mr. Yao's confession.

In the process of listening to Xiao Yao's narration, Father Yu kept holding a pen and writing shorthand in his notebook, commenting a few words from time to time, or asking questions.

"You mean Xiao Shen has awakened the blood...... Uh, the fortress of Queen Mary I? Father Yu muttered to himself, "This is also incredible, isn't it that Xiao Shen is a parishioner?" ”

"Yu Luying should have told you everything about the rest of the matter." Xiao Yao said.

"So you went through so much danger before you rescued me!" Yu Luying sighed: "Xiao Yao, it's really hard for you...... and Sister Shen Jie. ”

"It should." Xiao Yao said.

Father Yu kept scribbling something on the notebook, and then suddenly threw the pen away: "This white knight you are talking about...... He knows me, right? I've always felt that this person ...... Whatever he is, I'm afraid, not a good kind. ”

"I think so too." Xiao Yao blurted out in agreement.

"Uncle, Xiao Yao, why do you think so?" Yu Luying was puzzled: "He is a lifesaver for all of us." ”

"Objectively, that's the case," Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "But things in this world are not so simple, there are too many doubts in the white knight, so it's better not to jump to conclusions too early."

"What's the doubt?" Yu Luying was still very unconvinced.

"You women are so naïve......" Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Guys? All? Yu Luying pursed her mouth and stopped talking.

"Yu Luying, look, what is this?" Xiao Yao took out the dark chocolate that Shen Jie gave him from his pocket and shook it in front of Yu Luying's eyes.

"Is it chocolate?" Yu Luying said.

"This chocolate, Shen Jie and I have already drunk it on the way to the parent-child education center to find you."

"Why drink? So? ”

"But now, it's in my hand, and we can eat it again." Xiao Yao tore open the packaging of the chocolate.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Yu Luying was puzzled: "Any changes in it will not actually be brought to reality, have you just found out?" ”

"But the white knight's horse kicked and injured Zhou Qi," Xiao Yao sighed, "But that wound was brought to the real world, don't you think it's terrible?" Think about that sword that can easily destroy Teacher Yao's shadow......"

"This ......" Yu Luying was silent: "Indeed...... It's a bit ......."

"How the hell did you pig brain become a school bully, nerd!" Xiao Yao couldn't help but tease.

"You ——!" Yu Luying's eyes turned red: "If you have strong skills, you must be a bad person?!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll tease you." Xiao Yao was a little flustered.

"Who said I was going to cry! You idiot! Yu Luying continued to stiffen her mouth.

Father Yu didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two at all, but just tapped the top of the desk with his knuckles, making a sound of "tuk" and "tuk", and the three of them fell silent for a short time.

"Yu Luying," Xiao Yao said, "It's almost 11 o'clock, and you don't go back, your mother can't go crazy?" ”

"What do you think," Yu Luying pouted, "It's my uncle who has been helping to cover up, so I won't go back today and spend the night in the church." ”

"Then I have to go back," Xiao Yao moved his buttocks: "Father Yu, I'm really tired, and my grandmother should be going crazy......"

Father Yu didn't speak, just held his head, completely immersed in his own thoughts.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

"Xiao Yao, I'll send you out." Yu Luying stood up and did his landlord's friendship in place of his uncle.

"Father Yu, you should also go to bed early, don't drill too much," Xiao Yao stood up, took two steps forward, and put the dark chocolate in his hand on the priest's desk: "It's time to eat something and replenish your energy." ”

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."
