When the magic flower blooms

With someone by your side, it really isn't as scary as acting alone.The second round of night patrol was much smoother than the one an hour ago.The only "fly in the ointment" is that Ming Ruoxing, who kept saying that he was "scared" just now, was calm and composed throughout the whole process, and He Tiansi had no chance to show his muscles at all.

Two people patrolled near the children's playground, and an episode happened.At first it was He Tiansi who noticed something moving in the bunker, and then the swing beside it started to shake automatically.

"Don't be nervous, it's Lao Bai."

Ming Ruoxing revealed the answer before He Tiansi was shaken, and snapped his fingers, only to hear the majestic cry of "meow ouch" in the dark from far to near, Boss Bai rushed into Ming Ruoxing's arms .

"Why do I feel that it is closer to you?"

He Tiansi was jealous, and reached out to help Boss Bai brush off the gravel from his paws.

When the "family of three" is together, everyone becomes more courageous.After passing the office area is the backyard of the mourning hall. After punching out the card, they turned back under the big locust tree at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Ming Ruoxing once again made it clear that he didn't want to go back to the room to sleep, so the two of them and the cat still went back to the computer room.

"It's 11 o'clock in the evening now, until five o'clock tomorrow, there are six more..."

After briefly recording the situation of the patrol in the patrol manual, He Tiansi took a sip of strong tea and turned to see Ming Ruoxing lying on the table again.

"Is it comfortable to sleep like this?" He leaned over and scratched the back of Ming Ruoxing's neck.

"Leave me alone." Ming Ruoxing shook his shoulders.

"...Why don't you turn into a cat. It might be more comfortable to sleep that way."

This seems like a good idea.After a moment of silence, Ming Ruoxing put his hands on the table and buried his head.I saw his figure shrunk rapidly, and a few seconds later his clothes collapsed, and a fluffy snowball crawled out.

Seeing this, Boss Bai, who had been lying on the floor, immediately climbed up the chair to lean over to kiss him.Ming Ruoxing ducked back for a while, and was immediately picked up by He Tiansi.

"Be honest, don't mess around!"

After warning Boss Bai, He Tiansi conveniently grabbed Ming Ruoxing onto his knee.

"Xiao Ming, can you speak human language now?"

Ming Ruoxing shook his head.

"Then you are not wearing any clothes, are you actually naked?"

Ming Ruoxing raised his front paws, pressed gently on He Tiansi's arm, the sharp claws came out of their sheaths, and slowly pulled down.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, let's go to sleep!" He Tiansi immediately begged for mercy.

He put Ming Ruoxing's pile of pajamas on the table, and the white cat jumped up and stepped out of a small nest, and fell asleep in a ball.Boss Bai immediately occupied the vacated chair, achieving a delicate harmony of three pillars.

Hey, it's good to be able to become a cat, you can sleep anywhere you want.

He Tiansi sighed in his heart, and turned his gaze to the monitoring screen on the wall again.

No one spoke, and the computer room became quiet again.I don’t know which cat purred softly, and mixed with the buzzing electric fan to create a uniform white noise, stable and lazy.

With nearly five or ten minutes before the next inspection, He Tiansi adjusted the alarm on his mobile phone to pure vibration mode, and then also lay down on the table.

It's so close——Ming Ruoxing's white back is just less than half an arm away from him. You can put your face on it with just a light touch, and you can definitely smell the fragrance of shower gel.

Of course, considering the consequences, He Tiansi didn't do this, he just quietly stretched out a finger, and stroked gently and slowly along the direction of the hair from top to bottom.

Touching and touching, sleepiness wrapped around that finger, climbing higher and higher, and soon dragged him into a dark and light dream like dark clouds.

When the eyes were bright again, He Tiansi found himself standing in an antique courtyard.The surrounding scenery is a bit familiar, but after careful recollection, it really doesn't match the name.

He was wondering when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.Instinctively, he moved a few steps to the hiding place, then looked back, and saw a boy wearing a bunt and a turban running in from the door.

What kind of attire is this?What about acting in a costume play?

With one thought in mind, He Tiansi immediately went to find the camera equipment hidden around him.But I couldn't find the seat, but somehow heard a woman's cry, which seemed to come from the courtyard next door.

Anyway, there was nothing to do right now, so He Tiansi simply followed the voice to find it.He went around in a circle, and finally came in front of a big locust tree with luxuriant branches.An inconspicuous black-painted wooden door is tightly closed under the locust tree.

Isn't this the small courtyard in the activity center? !

He Tiansi's heart skipped a beat, he was vaguely enlightened.He was about to find a stone to lay his feet on the wall to see what was going on in the yard, when suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and grabbed his shoulder to stop his recklessness.

"Shh-"

Ming Ruoxing's voice came almost close to his earlobe: "Don't act rashly, don't make loud noises, don't be surprised."

"why?"

He Tiansi took the opportunity to pinch Ming Ruoxing's hand, confirming that the other party is not a phantom imagined by him, "Why did you appear in my dream?"

"This is not a dream."

Ming Ruoxing motioned him to find a place to sit with him.As soon as the two of them took a step forward, they saw another young man in ancient costume approaching from the corner ahead.

He Tiansi instinctively wanted to hide, but was grabbed by Ming Ruoxing.

"It doesn't matter, he can't see us. As long as you keep your emotions calm, don't activate the demihuman ability casually."

Speaking of this, I saw that the young man had already arrived in front of them, and he turned a corner without seeing them, and walked away.

He Tiansi found it interesting: "What is this if it's not a dream?"

"According to your understanding, this is a ghost. The two of us are now in the obsession of a demihuman. Here are its past memories, its emotions and part of its consciousness."

"But didn't you say that there are no ghosts here?"

"It is indeed my misjudgment. Because it is too weak, so weak that even a little emotional fluctuation will destroy this illusion. It is the same as my previous situation."

He Tiansi immediately recalled what Ming Ruoxing said.

"You said at the time that there was a woman crying...in this yard?"

"Yes." Ming Ruoxing pointed to the small wooden door under the acacia tree, "It's right there."

"It's locked, how did you get in? Over the wall?"

"No, you just follow me closely. No matter what happens, don't be nervous, remember, keep calm."

Ming Ruoxing took He Tiansi's right hand coldly and led him towards the wooden door.He didn't stop until he got to the door, and passed through the door easily.

He Tiansi couldn't help being surprised, but kept in mind the previous advice, and barely kept calm.

As expected, the layout inside the small courtyard is almost the same as the reality, only the architectural style and courtyard layout are slightly different.And the weeping and crying that He Tiansi heard just now came from a corner of the courtyard.

That's where the well is.

Ming Ruoxing didn't let go of He Tiansi's hand, and the two of them approached quietly following the sound of crying.Turning around the corner of the house, they saw a woman in green clothes with disheveled hair standing in the courtyard crying.Look carefully, and there is a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in her arms.

"Look at her feet." Ming Ruoxing whispered.

With his reminder, He Tiansi discovered that there was actually a rusty chain hidden under the woman's dirty and tattered skirt, winding all the way into the room.

It was clear that she had not volunteered to be in the yard.

He Tiansi's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.Ming Ruoxing, who had been putting his fingers on the pulse of his wrist, immediately reminded softly: "This is not reality, but the past. Control your emotions and don't waver."

Just after saying this, the woman sobbed twice, rubbing her cheek against the baby's face, looking very kind and loving.However, in the next second, she suddenly had a seizure. She tore off the swaddle and threw the naked baby into the well!

The baby's terrified crying stopped abruptly with the sound of falling into the water, and the rest was a creepy silence.

He Tiansi tightened his grip on Ming Ruoxing's hand, but at least he held back, not showing an overly surprised expression.

"I saw this just now." Ming Ruoxing said softly, "Remember, no matter what happened after this, it was already hundreds of years ago."

Before the words were finished, only the sound of unlocking came from the gate of the yard.Accompanied by the servant, a maid came in with soup.When the two found the woman standing by the well, they were taken aback for a moment, and then they found the swaddling clothes that had fallen on the edge of the well. Then they panicked and locked the courtyard door again, and ran out to report the news.

About five or six minutes later, another three or four men with fierce looks rushed in.Two of them stepped forward and grabbed the iron chain to pull the woman away from the well. The other two men rushed to the well to look around for a while, and even jumped into the well water one after another.

The chains on the woman in Tsing Yi's feet were stretched straight, and she was immediately dragged to the ground.The pain and anger made her struggle crazily, trying to grab the stone slabs, weeds, and soil on the ground, unwilling to leave the well.

But in front of two tall and strong men, her struggle was so powerless.

With the soil embedded in her nails and the weeds in her hands, she was dragged back to the side of the two men, followed by a few crackling sounds—sharp slaps slapped her cheeks like raindrops!

"Is it human?!" He Tiansi couldn't help it, "Two big men hit a woman. No matter how you put it, it's too..."

Accompanied by his indignation, the scene in front of him suddenly shook, as if a stone had been thrown into the reflection in the water.

"Take a deep breath!" Ming Ruoxing immediately reminded him, "Calm!"

He Tiansi hurriedly followed suit, and after about half a minute, the picture in front of him finally stabilized again.

At this time, the woman in Tsing Yi had already been beaten and fell into the weeds.I saw that her mouth and nose were bleeding, her face was livid, but her eyes were a terrible scarlet.

She stared viciously at every man present with her blood-red eyes.It was as if the bloody sight contained her most vicious and enduring curse.

As if to confirm the authenticity of this curse, the sky above the head has become cloudy at some point.There was no lightning or thunder, and the bean-sized raindrops just fell straight from the sky.

He Tiansi reached out and touched the top of his head, but he didn't feel any feeling of being wet.However, the people standing in front of him and Ming Ruoxing turned pale with shock—they immediately rushed to the woman in green who was lying in the grass, but it was too late.

From the moment she was drenched by the rain, the woman let out a heart-piercing scream.The voice was hoarse and long-lasting, as if some kind of great pain had been forcibly sealed in his body.

She had voluntarily endured this pain - there was no reason for it, but He Tiansi suddenly had such a feeling.

In a blink of an eye, the four men had already lifted the woman up, ready to move to the roof.At this moment, a streak of blood slipped from under her skirt, followed by another flash of silver light——

The woman's feet disappeared, replaced by a silver fishtail.

And the shackle that originally locked her ankle was embedded in the fish's tail alive, bloody and bloody!

"My God..."

He Tiansi gasped, unable to hide his shock and resentment.

What's weird is that at almost the same moment, the woman who obviously couldn't see He Tiansi and Ming Ruoxing suddenly turned her head to look at them, opened her mouth and shouted with tears in her eyes.

In the heavy rain, everything in front of my eyes began to quickly distort and blur.Immediately afterwards, a series of huge vibrations brought He Tiansi back from the illusion to reality.
