[TV series A Chinese Ghost Story Golden Seven] Bewitched

Extra

Ning Qi was sitting in the coffee shop at the corner, with unreal boredom in her black eyes, but a gentle smile on her handsome face, which seemed hazy in the afterglow of the setting sun, and disappeared silently. It is too formulaic to make people happy, but it makes the client on the other side feel that this person is really listening carefully and is very interested.

"...The whole thing is like this, Mr. Ning."

The man in his early forties finished talking about the ins and outs of the future, and looked at the handsome young man opposite him with anticipation and distrust.

If it is not a last resort, he is a businessman who has received higher education and grew up under the slogan of "breaking the four olds". He would not find a detective who is said to be very capable and has solved many supernatural incidents after being introduced by a friend. The signboard is actually the "Heavenly Master" in the name of killing demons and exorcising ghosts and eliminating grievances.

But is this young man who looks at most in his mid-twenties really as powerful as his friends say?Judging by his appearance and attire, it is obviously more suitable to say that it is a movie star or a model. It is really not like the "celestial master" in the traditional cognition...

Ning Qi looked at the doubtful look in the other party's eyes, and knew what the client was thinking without thinking about it, but he didn't care too much. In this world, demons and ghosts have always been negative, but negation does not mean they don't exist. , and what he did was nothing more than to pass the too long life.

"I probably already understand the situation, but I have to wait for some places to go to the scene to confirm. How about this, you tell me the address, and I will go and have a look tomorrow morning."

Smiling and dismissing the customer who didn't trust her very much, Ning Qi still sat in her original position and continued to be in a daze as if thinking about something.

The sky is getting darker, but the streets outside the glass windows are becoming more and more lively. The colorful neon lights render the gray sky a blur that is not available during the day—this city has always had two faces, day and night.

Ning Qi looked at the group of people coming and going with different expressions outside the window, and her mood was already habitually confused.

It’s been a long time, like this, it seems that I’m floating on the outer edge of the world, watching all kinds of happenings in this world through a layer of invisible mist, my heart is not disturbed, it seems that everything has nothing to do with me and everything seems to be waiting for me to participate The sense of unreality often made Ning Qi feel confused about whether he really existed—could all this be just a dream created by him in his own consciousness?All of this, maybe it's just nothingness that he couldn't escape because he was trapped by the obsession in his heart?The real him, perhaps long ago——

"Qiye, why are you in a daze?"

Cheran's voice suddenly sounded, pulling back Ning Qi's sinking thoughts.

The young man who spoke was in his early twenties, dressed casually, and looked very heroic, with a pair of dark blue eyes with peach blossoms, one could tell his romantic disposition at a glance.

"Yanli, my current name is Ning Qi, I think I've told you many times."

Ning Qi corrected the address of the other party lightly, not expecting any effect in his heart, it was just a habit for many years, it was a conditioned reflex.

The young man who was called Yan Li curled his lips, quite unconcerned.Sitting directly opposite Ning Qi, he watched the other party look out of the window indifferently, his black eyes were stained with a thin film of light in the little light, reflecting a blurred and confused color.

"Something happened over the Maple Leaf Bridge, he should have taken a detour back."

Yan Li thought about it, but still kept his own affairs a secret, and only talked about things that the other party might listen to.

Ning Qi turned her eyes back to the young man who was drinking coffee elegantly, with a slight smile on her originally indifferent face:

"Where did you come from?"

Seeing the other party nodding, Ning Qi frowned slightly——the location mentioned by the client just now is located on the line of Maple Leaf Bridge, so it must be true that there are monsters haunting it.

Thinking of this, he raised his head to look at Yan Li, and remembered that although this person always liked to run to his side every day, he seemed to be a little hesitant today, probably because he had something to say:

"You came here on purpose, didn't you just want to drink coffee?"

"...It's nothing serious. I'm going to go abroad in two days, and it will take about three months, so you can be quiet for a while during this time."

Yan Li put down the cup, fiddled with the small silver spoon absently, and still had that slightly frivolous but not very offensive smile on his face.

In fact, if he could, he didn't want to leave at this time.The results shown in the last calculation of the fortune chart indicated that there would be major events at the turn of the year this year, and the targets pointed to were Ning Qi and that person.Although he also told the two of them early in the morning, but maybe they lived too long and experienced too much, the two of them were both indifferent and mediocre, and they made it clear that "the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth", or, moreover, drifting with the tide.

"Any eyebrows?"

Ning Qi naturally didn't know the worry in the other party's heart, and only thought that Yan Li finally found some clues, so he asked this question.

Yan Li was looking for someone, and it should have been more than a thousand years in this life.

Constantly reincarnated, constantly searching, and after finding it, they just stayed three feet away and watched silently, seeing the entanglement of life, old age, sickness, death, love and hatred, and then waited for the next life, and the next life... just like this cycle, sometimes Ning Qi will I wonder if such silent watching is worth it, but I can't find the answer—everyone has their own attachments, and the situation between him and Jin Guang may not be worth it in the eyes of others, but in Ning Qi's heart, it has never been. I don't think there is anything wrong or worthless.

"I don't know yet, I have to go and see first."

Yan Li stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, covering up the flash of bitterness, and replied with a flat expression, and then changed the subject to something else,

"By the way, there seems to be a very powerful guy at the Maple Leaf Bridge. If you can, it's better not to go there."

"I was planning to go and have a look. Someone in my hand happened to commission an investigation into this matter. When are you leaving? If I have time, I will go there with Jin Guang to see you off."

Ning Qi casually looked at the figure outside the window, her eyes froze suddenly, a flame seemed to jump in her eyes, and it was dark again in an instant.

Yan Li also looked in the same direction. In front of a supermarket on the opposite side of the street, there was a slender man in a suit standing. His face could not be seen clearly due to the distance and the backlight, but his waist-length hair was behind him. The bright white light of the supermarket shone with a bright red color that seemed to dispel even the coldness of December, and in Yan Li's memory, there was only one person who was so bright that it was so bright that it would burn, but at the same time gave off an inorganic quality. The coldness and solemnity——Jin Guang, who used to be aloof and took killing demons and demons as his mission, but finally coexisted with monsters.

Time flies, this is the description for ordinary people.

Those who inherited the blood of monsters like Qiye, or those who became obsessed with demons and had to blend with monsters like Jin Guang, are already life forms that cannot be measured by time.

The fate of these two people should not have been like this, but if any of them took a step back, the result would not be so embarrassing.

It's a pity that none of them wants to, one only wants to implement "elimination of demons" to realize the world without demons;

They are so lingering, but on the surface there is a quiet love between you and me, and love and stay with each other.

In the end, it will inevitably become a peaceful fleeting time in which it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong and sorrow and joy in the vastness and silence and indifference...

Seeing the young man on the opposite side hurriedly take out the mobile phone with a light scarf shell from his jacket pocket to answer the call, his expression becomes vivid in an instant, and his low and deep voice is steady and rambling, but it is full of care and thoughtfulness:

"...If you go to the beach, go back and add some clothes. I heard that the temperature is going to cool down again...I have something to do tonight, and it may be late, so I don't have to wait for the door...Well, I know. Also, if you can't drink, just go Refuse, you are big anyway, they dare not force you..."

The slender figure on the opposite side was slowly hidden in the bright lights, Ning Qi closed the phone, stared at the small object in a daze, and soon looked at Yan Li with a thin layer of smile, his voice was softer than before The warmth is more brisk:

"These high-tech products are really convenient sometimes. You don't need to concentrate and don't need to use strength. You can achieve sound transmission for thousands of miles..."

Yan Li laughed, the sadness just now was swept away, and some scattered pictures suddenly appeared in his vague memory, and he couldn't help but also joked:

"I remember that once you slept for 200 years, and when you woke up, there was a war, and everyone was running for their lives. You stood alone in the bombing area. If Jin Guang and I hadn't found you in time, based on your situation at the time , even ten Seven Nights Demon Lords were blown away!"

Ning Qi turned his head and thought for a while, frowned a little embarrassedly, blinked his eyes, a bit of a complaint—that time, he really couldn't be blamed, who told him to wake up during the air raid siren?After thinking about it carefully, he was a little suspicious, maybe he was awakened by the extremely shrill sound.

"By the way, I'm going to visit Maple Leaf Bridge, let's go together?"

Remembering that there are still things to deal with, Ning Qi can't take care of reconciling with old friends.

"Forget it, I won't join in the fun. That kind of small thing is a small case for you!"

Yan Li waved his hand, not intending to help - he just came over there, although the demonic aura was strong, but not to the point of being troublesome, and the monster didn't seem to hurt anyone, at most it was just messing around, probably because he liked it Mischievous underage spirits.

Generally speaking, as long as non-human creatures have no intention of hurting others, Yan Li, the current patriarch of the demon-eliminating family, will not go out of his way.As for Ning Qi, most of them will not interfere with harmless or harmful organisms outside the scope of work, unless the other party comes to the door.

"Then I'll go first."

"Goodbye! Ah, yes, I have a plane at 10:[-] am the day after tomorrow, remember to come and see it off."

Yan Li waved his hand, leaning lazily on the seat, watching Ning Qi's back gradually blend into the chaotic scene outside, and gradually disappearing, then spit out words that sounded regretful, half-truth,

"Really, on such a sweet and beautiful night, one of them volunteers and the other exorcises demons. It's not emotional!"

The cold and damp winter night is bitter, and the cold north wind blows on the face, which hurts like a sharp knife.

Ning Qi walked unhurriedly on the streets that had returned to the true colors of the night after the silence, and the bright street lights cast his shadow faithfully on the front, back or under his feet.Occasionally, there are cars whizzing past or people returning from the night walking by Ning Qi. Those who are curious will cast a glance at this young man who walks leisurely. It is strange that this young man is not wearing thick clothes. It seems to be leisurely and comfortable on an outing.

Snowflakes began to float in the sky, and soft white feathers descended lightly. At first, it was sparse and empty, but in a blink of an eye, it was densely packed and covered the sky.

Ning Qi raised her head, and the dry six-petaled flowers covered her eyes. She didn't feel particularly cold, but the ice and snow melted and fell into her eyes.

Stretching out her hand to wipe away the flakes of snowflakes on her face, Ning Qi blinked to disperse the water in it, remembering that today seems to be the eve of a certain imported festival, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile:

"It's really time for the snow to fall..."

Muttering, Ning Qi continued to walk forward, and soon arrived at a residential area that was already completely dark.

Entering the door lightly, only to find that the cohabitant who thought he had fallen asleep was sitting on the sofa in the living room. The TV screen was jumping with lively and extraordinary images, and the soft light of the wall lamp looked very warm and moving at this moment.

"came back?"

The still clear voice sounded faintly, but the people on the sofa did not move, only the voice that could not hear any emotions bypassed the barriers and fell into the ears of the late returners.

Ning Qi took the slippers from the shoe rack and put them on, said a low reply, and walked towards the bathroom. Amidst the noisy laughter, a golden voice came from afar:

"I put your clothes on the washing machine for you, and the temperature has also been adjusted, so don't make it so low..."

Ning Qi stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at the young face with a slight smile and an indescribably satisfied expression between her eyes and brows, the curve of her lips deepened further.

In this way, the feeling that someone is waiting for him is the only reality he has now.

Coming out of the bathroom, seeing the golden light on the sofa leaning on the soft cushion with half-closed eyes, Ning Qi couldn't help laughing softly—this person, no matter when, always gives people a solemn and solemn feeling, even if he is clearly This seemingly relaxed state is still inseparable from a serious expression.

"Jin Guang, I remember this is a comedy film, not an ethical film, you don't have to be so serious, right?"

What was playing on the TV was the DVD he rented on a whim last time, and it was said to be very popular.But he watched it a little bit, and it didn't have any special meaning, it was nothing more than a romance about love, but the hero's perseverance was quite impressive.

Jin Guang's expression remained unchanged, but he just opened his eyes, and the pale crimson color shone a little bit in the light of the TV.

Ning Qi brought two cups, a cup of milk and a cup of coffee.

Sitting down beside Jin Guang, Ning Qi handed over the cup of steaming milk and put it on the low table in front of Jin Guang, while sipping the coffee herself, she asked casually:

"Why don't you sleep, don't you have to work tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the weekend. Are you muddled?"

Jin Guang picked up the glass and took a sip, and replied in a flat tone, looking at the actors jumping up and down on TV,

"This actor seems familiar?"

Ning Qi glanced at it, almost choked on the coffee, coughed twice, and said to Jin Guang who was thinking about how familiar he was:

"Is this familiar, Zhuge Yunfei!"

"... Oh, him."

Jin Guang nodded, then turned his head to look at Ning Qi next to him as if remembering something,

"Zhuge Liuyun is not the young master of the Zhuge family, why did he get on the TV?"

"Who knows, it's probably time for him to calm down. Anyway, they still have a big brother to support them, so it's nothing to let him play outside for a few years."

While Ning Qi answered, she got up and took the two cups to the kitchen for cleaning.

When he turned back to the living room, Jin Guang had already turned off the TV.

"Why don't you read it, I will pay it back tomorrow."

Ning Qi untied her long hair, which was tied up for convenience, and walked towards the sofa while wiping with a towel.

"You're just like this. There's nothing worth watching in this kind of movie."

Jin Guang took out the hair dryer from under the low cabinet, plugged it in, and signaled Ning Qi to sit over,

"I didn't tell you, don't keep your hair up when it's wet..."

Ning Qi sat sideways beside Jin Guang, letting the man turn around with the hair dryer on his head—in fact, he doesn’t like hair dryers very much, the warm wind that lingers on his ears and neck often makes him think laugh.

A few times in the middle, Ning Qi couldn't help shrunk his head and sideways, trying to avoid the hot wind blowing to his ears, but was pulled by the golden light forcefully, and his hair was gently pulled. It was not painful, but he was concerned about the previous One time Jin Guang was almost burned because of this, Ning Qi still tried to sit obediently and let the opponent move.

"By the way, does Yanli have anything to do with you today?"

Jin Guang also knew that Ning Qi just instinctively disliked the artificial hot wind, so in order to distract him, he found something to say.

"It's nothing, it seems that there is news about that person, and he wants to go abroad to see."

Ning Qi squinted slightly, a little drowsy. The monster that made trouble at Maple Leaf Bridge today was of the spirit level. As soon as the wind blows, sleepiness surges up.

"...Okay, let's go to bed."

Jin Guang turned off the hair dryer and felt Ning Qi's obvious lack of energy.He stretched out his hand and pushed, and saw that the man had half-closed his eyes, his body was crooked, and he was about to fall to the ground, so he pulled him back in a funny way.

Patting the other person's face, he finally saw the black eyes open in a daze, and the somewhat distracted gaze fell on the face above with a three-point smile after a long while.

"Qiye, it's ok, go to sleep."

Ning Qi stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, muttering objection habitually:

"It's Ning Qi, not Qi Ye..."

The man stood up somewhat wobbly, and walked towards the bedroom.Jin Guang also got up and followed him in. Seeing that the man lay down on the bed, there was no sound. He knew that he was really tired, so he didn't want to disturb his sweet dreams any more. He just took off his shoes and covered the quilt for him. Looking at the young sleeping face by the bed for a long time, without all the scars of the past, the delicate appearance revealed a smile that couldn't be any lighter and really couldn't be more satisfying:

After such a long time, they can finally put aside those identities and simply be together...
