seal of magic

Qi Shao tried to sit in the driver's seat, stepped on the brakes, and opened the door, but there was no response at all, just like when he smashed the window with a safety hammer, it seemed that conventional methods could not let him get out of the car.He looked at the young man and found that the young man was also looking at him.

"That... thank you for saving me." Qi Shao now has too many questions to ask, and he didn't know which one to ask first.He straightened his mind, and asked the most urgent question first: "This bus seems to be circling around this area all the time, how can we get out?"

"The bus won't stop until we find out the reason." The young man's voice was a little low, but his tone was very calm.Seeing him so calm, Qi Shao also calmed down.

"Then how do you find out why?"

The young man didn't answer right away, but stared at him for a long time with interest, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Why would he ask this in the first place?Could it be that the non-stop car has something to do with me?While speculating in his heart, Qi Shao replied: "I'm going to Taolin Town, and I bought a ticket at the long-distance station." After buying the ticket, I got on a ghost car, and it was a ghost car that trapped people in place. The car is really bad luck.

Hearing Qi Shao's answer, the young man nodded and answered Qi Shao's previous question: "This bus overturned in an accident three months ago, and all the passengers died. It was the wraith on board that attacked you just now."

Qi Shao is still not sure whether this person who appeared out of nowhere is reliable, so it is best to gather more information to prevent accidents.Qi Shao thought this way in his heart, but continued to ask with a surprised look on his face: "But isn't all the wraiths gone now, why is the car still moving?"

The young man knew nothing about Qi Shao's psychological activities. He thought for a while and said, "It stands to reason that if the wraith spirit on the car is eliminated, the car controlled by the wraith spirit should also disappear. Unless...someone followed the wraith on the car. The Wraith of the Wraith made a contract."

Qi Shao really wanted to ask who that person was, but looking at the young man's eyes, he knew that it could only be him.

"If the wraith made a contract with the living, and the contract is not terminated, this bus will not disappear."

Make a contract with the Wraith?It doesn't sound good.when is itWith whom?Qi Shao recalled what happened before, and asked, "What is the contract like?"

"The content of the contract can vary. It's nothing more than what you promised it. You should think about who you met before getting in the car."

Wraith, contract, Qi Shao frowned and thought, subconsciously rubbing the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, making a slight sound from time to time.The young man didn't urge him, he leaned on the back of the seat leisurely, silently waiting for him to recall.

There is no direct bus from Qi Shao's school to Taolin Town. He first took the train to Yuhai City, and then took a long-distance bus to Taolin Town.I met a lot of people along the way, and I talked to several of them.If the other party is the wraith in the car, then he should have met him in Yuhai City.

Thinking of this, Qi Shao immediately thought of the girl he met at the gate of the coach station.

At that time, Qi Shao had just got off the taxi and was about to go to the ticket hall to buy a ticket when he saw a girl not far ahead struggling to drag her luggage.

The girl is about 1.6 meters tall, very thin, with ponytails, a cap on her head, a beige hoodie, and a denim skirt.She was dragging the suitcase with one hand, a large bag with the other, and a backpack on her back.It seemed that the bag she was carrying was so heavy that she had to stop for a rest every few steps and switch hands to carry it.

The scene in front of him touched Qi Shao's long-lasting memories. There was once such a figure walking in front of him dragging big bags and small bags.He hesitated, stepped forward and asked the girl if she needed help.

"Can I? Thank you so much!" The girl was very happy to see someone willing to help, "I'm going to buy a ticket, how about you?"

"Me too, let's go together." Qi Shao picked up the girl's bag, not to mention it was quite heavy.

"It's heavy, isn't it? I brought some special products for my family. I haven't been back after working outside for many years. I was very excited. When I was packing up, I just felt like I wanted to take everything with me. When I came out, I realized that it was too heavy." The girl was a little upset. She said sheepishly, "By the way, where are you going?"

"Taolin Town."

"What a coincidence! My home is in Taolin Town!" the girl exclaimed, "Are you visiting relatives?"

"I'm going to work there."

This time the girl was even more surprised: "Have you already worked? Looking at you, I thought you just went to college."

Qi Shao has fair skin and keeps exercising all year round. He has a good figure. Even if he stands with the roommates in the former dormitory, he looks the smallest.

While talking, the two came to the ticket hall.

"Help me look at things, I'll go and buy our tickets together."

It was too late to call her, the girl had already run to the ticket window.It was almost 10 o'clock at this time, there were not many people in the ticket office, and the girl came back soon.

"Here's your ticket. We have to wait another hour for the 9 o'clock bus."

Qi Shao took the ticket, paid the money to the girl, and said, "It's okay, just wait."

The girl's name is Ying Xiaoxiao. During the waiting process, she kept telling Qi Shao about the beauty of her hometown and her childhood.

"When you arrive in Taolin Town, come to my house to play. The peach blossoms on the mountain behind my house are so beautiful!"

"Okay."

"Don't forget it."

Before getting in the car, this was the only thing Qi Shao promised others.

"Before I got in the car, when I was chatting with a girl, I promised her to go to her house to play after arriving in Taolin Town. Could it be that this is also a contract?" At that time, Qi Shao just responded casually, without leaving any contact information. No matter how small Taolin Town is, there are still many people, and the girls have to go out to work, so the possibility of meeting them in the future is very slim.Unexpectedly, it was this casual sentence that caused trouble, Qi Shao secretly regretted it, and should be more cautious.

"Where did she sit in the car?"

"In the last row."

Following the young man's questioning, the image of Ying Xiaoxiao hesitating to speak before getting in the car emerged in Qi Shao's mind.After getting in the car, he thought that Ying Xiaoxiao would sit next to him, but unexpectedly she walked past him and sat in the corner of the last row.

"Is she also the wraith who attacked us just now?" It was too chaotic just now, and Qi Shao wasn't sure if she was involved.

"I didn't see her. She made a contract with you to be protected by your yang energy and hide on your body."

These words really aroused Qi Shao's nervousness. The young man was very satisfied with the effect. He patted Qi Shao's shoulder and said with a bit of a stick: "Originally, this is very dangerous. Fortunately, you met me. With your body Maybe you don’t need it, treat me to a meal later.”

Qi Shao listened to him talking nonsense and remained silent.

The young man asked Qi Shao to sit in Ying Xiaoxiao's seat, and took out a palm-length incense stick from the backpack he carried with him.

"You have to awaken her consciousness before you can separate her from you. This is requiem incense. After lighting it, you can enter her memory, and you can see through her eyes what happened before she died. Heavy Pre-death memories can stimulate her to show up on her own initiative."

"After separation, will the contract be terminated?"

"The separation is just to find out her purpose, and it's not that easy to cancel the contract."

"Then... can't you just summon the soul directly?" It sounds dangerous to witness the death scene of others, and Qi Shao wanted to struggle no matter what.

The hand of the young man who lit the incense paused for a moment, and then he replied without raising his head, "No."

This decisive answer made Qi Shao feel even more worried. After hesitating again and again, he still asked, "Will it be dangerous?"

The young man grabbed Qi Shao's left hand, gently cut his ring finger with a dagger, and used a small transparent bottle the size of a knuckle to catch the blood dripping out.Qi Shao didn't bother to struggle, but was attracted by the scene in front of him: the blood drop shrunk into a small ball, hanging firmly in the bottle.

"If you are in danger, the bottle will shatter, and I will rescue you in time, don't worry."

The smell of requiem incense made Qi Shao's eyelids heavier and heavier, he closed his eyes and entered Ying Xiaoxiao's memories.

Different from the bus that trapped Qi Shao now, the bus in Ying Xiaoxiao's memory was very lively.

At this time, the bus hadn’t left the city yet, and the lights on the roof were on. Some passengers were talking in low voices, some were looking at their mobile phones, and some were listening to music while looking out the window.

Ying Xiaoxiao got tired of looking at the scenery outside the window, and turned her head to look at her seatmate.This is a man in his early thirties, with a thin build and dark skin.He was casually flipping through the magazine in his hand, the more Ying Xiaoxiao looked at him, the more familiar he looked.

"Brother Liu?" Ying Xiaoxiao called out tentatively.

Xiao Liu turned his head suspiciously: "You are?"

Ying Xiaoxiao said happily: "Brother Liu! I'm Ying Xiaoxiao, do you still remember me? Once my bag was robbed, and you helped me recover it. Thank you so much!"

Although Ying Xiaoxiao remembers clearly what he has done, but for Xiao Liu, the traffic policeman, helping people in need is a matter of little effort and duty, and he has no special impression of Ying Xiaoxiao.But Ying Xiaoxiao's sincere gratitude to him still warmed his heart.

During the chat, the car TV on the bus was turned on, and it turned out to be the screen of Xiao Liu's interview a few days ago.

The two started talking about this, and when Ying Xiaoxiao turned to look at Xiao Liu, she noticed a man on the other side of the aisle looking at Xiao Liu warily.

It was a middle-aged man with a scar on his chin, wearing an ordinary black T-shirt, and a beige hat with the brim buttoned down so low that it almost covered half of his face.The wound on his chin is a bit long and looks fresh.

Xiao Liu also noticed the scarred man. As soon as he turned his head, the scarred man quickly looked away, curled up, and pulled his hat down.

The scarred man seemed very nervous, and Ying Xiaoxiao was disturbed by his strangeness.

Strange, what is this man afraid of?

When I was waiting to observe carefully, the bus just drove out of the urban area.The night was darker, and Ying Xiaoxiao couldn't see the scarred man who hid herself deeply under the dim light.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from behind: "Oh, it's terrible! Look at this!"

Ying Xiaoxiao turned her head to look, and saw a girl dressed as a white-collar worker holding a mobile phone in one hand and covering her mouth with the other. She looked very embarrassed, as if she was annoyed that she had accidentally attracted everyone's attention.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, the white-collar girl explained: "Last night, a pregnant woman was killed in front of our company."

"Let me see." The girl's companion took the phone, "Oh my god! This photo looks so miserable, there is such a long bloodstain!"

Since the passengers were listening, the white-collar girl simply let go of her voice and talked with her companion.

"I didn't die at the time, but the driver ran away after hitting someone. You know the location of our company, and the place is remote. There were no people in the middle of the night. The pregnant woman's mobile phone was damaged, and she climbed a long way, and finally lost blood. Died from too much."

"If the driver had called an ambulance at that time, he might not have died. The pregnant woman struggled for so long, how desperate. Did the driver catch her? This kind of scum is too disgusting."

"The wanted photos have been sent out. According to the news, they are currently being hunted down. They have sly eyebrows and a big beard. They don't look like a good person..."

The conversation about the car accident aroused Ying Xiaoxiao's uneasiness, and when she looked back, she noticed that the scarred man was also listening to everyone talking.However, unlike the curiosity and emotion of most passengers, the scarred man seemed to be extremely flustered when everyone was talking about the car accident.

Ying Xiaoxiao carefully observed the scarred man, but was spotted by the scarred man and gave her a vicious look. She hurriedly looked away and found that Xiao Liu had also noticed the strangeness of the scarred man.

The scarred man's huddled body trembled slightly, and he began to look down in the backpack for something.He then put his hands on his belly and walked quickly towards the driver.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Qi Shao: "Why don't you summon the soul directly?"

Zhong Qingyu: "That's so boring."

Qi Shao: "Isn't it true that if you don't study well, you can't recruit them?"

Zhong Qingyu (holding a knife): "...Which one of you revealed my old background to him?!!!"

Author (playing dumb): "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"
