Chapter 29: Death
It's dawn.
Xiao Xia stretched and looked out the door, for fear that the bad guy would hide somewhere and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.
Zhu Xiaozhou leaned his back against the shelf and looked at Xiao Xia worriedly.
"Zhouzhou, you think about it - how did you explain it to her?" Xiao Wenxuan asked.
After a long night's watch, it's time to make it clear.
But Zhu Xiaozhou didn't have an idea in his heart, so he sighed again.
"Sister, brother—thank you." After Xiao Xia confirmed that he was safe, he thanked Zhu Xiaozhou and Xiao Wenxuan and prepared to leave. "Then I'll go first."
"Huh-"
Zhu Xiaozhou's voice was stuck in his throat, and he tried to stretch out his hand, but he couldn't stop Xiao Xia who opened the door and walked out.
Xiao Xia just went out, and a pair of feet stepped on the road outside the door.
I didn't take a few steps, and in the blink of an eye-
actually returned to Qiyundang.
"It's, what's wrong?" Xiao Xia looked around in a daze, turned around, and saw Zhu Xiaozhou and Xiao Wenxuan again.
Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Xiao Xia distressedly, and Xiao Wenxuan looked at Zhu Xiaozhou distressedly.
"Zhouzhou—"
"Zhouzhouzhou, you are not annoying." Bai Yuan couldn't listen to it anymore, every time Xiao Wenxuan shouted Zhouzhou, he tore Xiao Wenxuan apart in his heart.
But I am also really envious.
Xiao Wenxuan hasn't known Zhu Xiaozhou for a long time, but he can naturally -
Get close to Zhu Xiaozhou.
That's what he tried so hard and couldn't do.
can only watch as Xiao Wenxuan and Zhu Xiaozhou become closer and closer.
"Maybe I was just shaking my head." Xiao Xia smiled awkwardly, thinking that she had hysteria. Pushed open the door of Qi Yundang with one hand, "Brother, sister - goodbye!" ”
As soon as he finished saying goodbye, the person who stepped out of the gate with his front foot returned to Qiyundang in the blink of an eye.
This time, Xiao Xia finally realized something.
She looked at her hands in horror, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Tell her."
Xiao Wenxuan ignored Bai Yuan and looked at Zhu Xiaozhou intently.
He knew that Zhu Xiaozhou's heart must be very conflicted at this moment, and he couldn't make a choice immediately.
Zhu Xiaozhou looked back at Xiao Wenxuan, looking at each other, as if he wanted to get an answer from Xiao Wenxuan.
Bai Yuan saw it in his eyes.
With a pinch of his fingers, the brocade box on the shelf next to Zhu Xiaozhou suddenly fell to the ground.
disturbed Zhu Xiaozhou, who was already restless.
She hurriedly squatted down to check whether the pawn in the brocade box was damaged, completely unaware -
This is Bai Yuan's small action.
But Xiao Wenxuan found out, and he glanced at Bai Yuan, "Childish." ”
How old are you still playing this little trick.
What came out of the box was a strange bronze mirror, the mirror was very blurry, and it could only barely reflect the outline of a person, and it could not show the facial features at all.
After carefully sorting it out and making sure that the product was in good condition, Zhu Xiaozhou put the bronze mirror back in the box and carefully put it back on the shelf-
Waiting for its owner to redeem it.
“...... Sister, I, I don't know, what's wrong with me? Xiao Xia panicked and asked Zhu Xiaozhou for help.
She couldn't figure out how it could be so strange.
"Actually, when you came in last night, I wanted to tell you that you came—"
Zhu Xiaozhou knew that the matter had reached the point where he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.
When Xiao Xia came in last night......
She's not human anymore.
As Zhu Xiaozhou expected, Xiao Xia couldn't stop crying after learning the truth.
Zhu Xiaozhou stayed by her side and comforted her all the time.
Xiao Xia couldn't accept the fact that she suddenly became a ghost.
“...... Why? Why is this happening, sister, how am I, how am I, how did I die? ”
"This, I don't know-" Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Xiao Xia.
Then, she saw a faint bruise on Xiao Xia's neck.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately called them together to confirm, "Do you see if this-"
Xiao Wenxuan and Bai Yuan came over.
As soon as Xiao Xia looked up, he saw Bai Yuan coldly-
At that time, I was so frightened that my face changed color.
She didn't expect that there would be another person in this small shop?
"Don't be afraid, this is Xiao Wenxuan, you've seen it." Zhu Xiaozhou then gestured in the direction of Bai Yuan, "That's Bai Yuan." ”
"Was this brother here last night? Why didn't I see him last night—"Didn't I see him?"
"Ah, this ......" Zhu Xiaozhou scratched his head, "He, his situation is similar to yours." ”
After speaking, I saw that Xiao Xia's face was a little darker.
"No, no, I didn't mean that-" Zhu Xiaozhou hurriedly explained.
Xiao Wenxuan is relatively calm. "Xiao Xia, do you really not remember anything?"
He tries to evoke Natsu's last memories.
The bruises on Xiao Xia's neck have already explained the cause of her death, she was strangled to death.
And last night, she ran into the store in a panic, claiming that she was chased by bad guys. I'm afraid—
Little did she know at the time that she had been killed.
Natsu struggled to recall the memories of last night.
She only remembered that the results of the mid-term exam came down yesterday, and she did not do well, so she stayed in school after the evening self-study, took an extra night of self-study, and made two more papers.
Catching the last train home, she got out of the car, and walked along the path to the family home as usual.
“...... As I walked, I heard footsteps behind me. I was scared, I thought, he just followed me. Xiao Xia said.
"And then?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked.
"And then—" Natsu continued, "and then, I want to see what he looks like, and I ...... The next thing I didn't know was what happened. When I reacted, I kept running, trying to find someone to save me-"
Then, she came to Qiyundang.
"It seems that it should be the time when her memory is blank, she encountered a poisonous man." Xiao Wenxuan said.
Zhu Xiaozhou thought of something, quietly slipped to Bai Yuan's side, and squeezed out a smile "flatteringly".
"Last time, couldn't you send Lu Jing's soul to Ding Manman's body and resurrect her? That's—"
"Nope."
Bai Yuan knew what she was going to say, and refused in one bite.
Zhu Xiaozhou's face was regretful, she really felt sorry for this girl who died unjustly.
But Xiao Xia's situation is different from Lu Jing Ding Manman.
Ding Manman was killed by the prohibition on Zhu Xiaozhou, while Xiao Xia was killed by people in this world, and she was already dead in this world.
Zhu Xiaozhou saw Bai Yuan's resolute attitude, so he didn't plead again.
"Sister, my grandmother is still at home, can you help me go and see her?" Xiao Xia asked.
has not recovered from the fact that he has died, but now the most reassuring thing is the grandmother at home.
"Okay."
Zhu Xiaozhou agreed.
According to the address given by Xiao Xia, Zhu Xiaozhou took Xiao Wenxuan out to visit Xiao Xia's grandmother.
Bai Yuan was left behind with a displeased expression.
It's just because his situation is special, unlike Xiao Wenxuan, who can be seen by others-
I had to stay and take care of Xiao Xia.
"Brother Bai Yuan." Xiao Xia was a little afraid of Bai Yuan, but she still had the courage to ask Bai Yuan, "What will happen to me in the future?" Will I disappear? Or will it be in this world...... What about loitering? ”
Before seeing Bai Yuan, she might have felt that she would disappear when she died.
But Zhu Xiaozhou said that Bai Yuan's situation was similar to her-
Since Bai Yuan is still "wandering" in the world.
Could she be too......
"Is there something you can't let go?" Bai Yuan asked her, "If not, it will disappear." ”
"I want to know, who killed me...... Does this count? Xiao Xia thought of a reason.
"Count, but what about when you find the truth."
"Well, then I can't bear my grandmother, and mine—my parents!" Xiao Xia said excitedly.
"If your relationship is deep enough to really care as much as you think you do, you won't disappear." Bai Yuan spoke flatly, as if he had no emotion at all.
"What about you?" Xiao Xia was suddenly curious, "Then what kind of things are you unable to let go?" ”
"Me?"
Bai Yuan was stunned by the question.
yes, why can't he let go of something?
