die

Before picking up the soul, Zhou You sat down to rest for a while.

She took the water glass handed over by mother Zhao and took a sip of lemonade.It seemed that she was also very nervous, and Zhang Deng's heart sank again.

Even the host master was nervous, wouldn't he, a rookie follower, be so frightened that half his life died.

Zhou You moved his mouth away from the water glass and sighed.

"Zhang Deng, don't worry, although I have never summoned a soul, but this time the danger is not great."

Grandma, if you are inexperienced, you are in danger.Zhang Deng could only stare blankly and drink water with her.

"Hmph. I knew you couldn't trust me. You'll understand after a while." Zhou You put the water glass on the bedside table, stood up and stretched, "You can just sit down. stand up."

Then, she took the pendant hanging around Zhao Yixun's neck, looked carefully at it, and put it in her hand.

Zhou Youxu babbled, chanted strange words for a while, then slapped Zhang Deng on the forehead, and ordered him not to open his eyes, Zhang Deng only felt that her hands were so strong that his forehead would be cracked , baring his teeth and holding on.

"Light up, light up, light up."

"Get up."

Zhang Deng breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped up from the ground: "Zhou You, can you be a little bit weaker? My head is..."

"Eh?"

At this moment, he was standing on the ground, subconsciously making a defensive posture, but found that there were two him and two Zhou You in the room.

Zhang Deng saw Zhou You standing next to him with a helpless expression on his face, and touched "myself" who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

The hand passed through the opponent's body, and it was impossible to touch it.

"This, me, you..." Zhang Deng was taken aback and spoke incoherently.

"Our souls have already left the body. To be precise, a ray of consciousness has left the body." Zhou You touched the ropes on the two of them to confirm that they were fastened, and nodded to Zhang Deng.

Zhang Deng didn't understand, so he nodded to her.

Zhou You looked at the mentally retarded expression, and after holding his forehead for two seconds, he squeezed out a sentence: "Are you stupid...We have to pick up someone now."

Zhang Deng blinked, speechless.

"It's you who picks up people and guides the way. Boss, I'm just your employee." Zhang Deng was tied with a rope, like a guide dog for the blind.

"Okay, don't talk too much. Go outside the house, don't stop until I say don't stop." Zhou You pushed him out of the door.

The two, one in front of the other, pulled the rope down the stairs, through the porch, and through the living room.

When he walked all the way to the door, Zhang Deng realized something was wrong.

They had just arrived earlier, and it was sunny and fresh outside.It was not yet twelve o'clock at noon, but it was already dark.

This kind of darkness is not the darkness of the night, the darkness of the night is when the sky falls and traffic becomes quieter.The darkness that Zhang Deng saw was the same as the last time he was in the shadows, a darkness shrouded in thick fog and cold.

In this darkness, there is no sign of living things.There is no life, only a lingering flame, which is about to be extinguished.

As soon as Zhang Deng stepped out of the door, he felt a coolness creeping up from the soles of his shoes.

"Don't back down, go forward!" Zhou You said from behind, "You feel cold because you have yang energy in your body, don't be afraid of freezing to death with me, go forward, we need to find her. "

After she finished speaking, she stuffed something into Zhang Deng's hand.It was Zhao Yixun's pendant, which glowed faintly in the darkness.

"Although it's not very good to touch directly...but it's more cost-effective than not being able to find someone. This pendant has been opened and has spirituality, and it can find the owner." Holding the pendant, Zhang Deng felt incredible in his heart, and subconsciously raised his foot to go. go forward.

It was dark, the road was very dark.I always feel that there is always a fog floating in front of my eyes, but as soon as my eyes are focused, the darkness runs away.

Zhou You's figure was already blurred a few steps away, and the room where he came had long since disappeared.The only thing Zhang Deng could see was the pendant in his hand and the rope on his body.

Gradually, Zhang Deng felt that something was wrong, he turned his head and asked Zhou You who was walking two meters behind him: "Here, isn't this the bottom?"

Not far away, Zhou You, who had a vague figure, smiled softly, and his voice sounded a little creepy.

"That's right. We are now walking in the space where reality and the underworld intersect. In Western terms, we are walking on the border of hell. And here there are creatures from the two worlds, living souls and dead ghosts, mixed with the mundane world at the same time The seven emotions and six desires of the underworld and the unwillingness to die in vain in the underworld, so the black energy you see is so thick, it is probably unclear thoughts."

"Then, is there any similarity between this place and the reality?" Zhang Deng felt cold all over, and forced himself to move forward.

"Yes. You take her pendant, and you will go to where she is, and of course you will see what she sees. Soon we will enter the area where she is."

After that, the two of them didn't speak any more, but walked forward against the black mist.

The hands of the watch on Zhang Deng's hand were spinning wildly, as if he couldn't see his hands flicking the hands indiscriminately.Zhang Deng felt that a long time had passed before he came to a gate.

"This is...a high school?" Zhang Deng recognized it as a well-known bilingual high school in Binhai City.

It was dark inside, and there was nothing there. The black mist flowed between the buildings, making the entire high school surrounded by dead air.

"You have to go in and find her." Zhou You said not far away, holding a rope, before reaching the school gate.

"Me? Are we together?" Zhang Deng vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and followed the rope to find Zhou You.But after he took a few steps, Zhou You took a few steps back, and instead got farther and farther away from the school gate.

Looking at Zhou You, who was blurred in the distance, Zhang Deng felt that something was wrong, so he took a breath, pulled the rope and began to pull hard.

Strange to say, the other end of the rope was surprisingly light, and Zhang Deng easily pulled the rope over.But when he pulled the rope to him, he felt that his whole body was completely cold.

On the other end of the rope, hung a paper man with painted eyebrows and long hair glued with cloth strips.

The paper figurines are covered in bright and colorful colours, so one can tell by looking at them that they are burnt for the dead.

Zhang Deng was so frightened that he immediately let go, and ran towards the school gate. The paper man stood up tremblingly on the other end of the rope, and followed Zhang Deng to the gate, talking in Zhou You's tone as he walked. : "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out later..."

"Get out, you big-headed ghost!!!" Zhang Deng rushed up the big iron gate, sat on the top and cried, "If I call you boss again, Zhou You, I will lose ten years of life!!!"

The paper figurine had already limped to the door at this time, pawing at the iron door and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You still have a long lifespan. So, how about I give you a raise when you go back?"

"I quit!"

"Fifty? One hundred?"

"strike!"

"Two hundred? Three hundred? Four hundred can't be more,"

"Five hundred!" Zhang Deng's voice was still trembling, "Ge Laozi thought I was being fooled? If you dare to break your promise later, I will sue you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!!"

"Okay, okay, it's easy to talk about. Go down quickly, we will make a quick decision, and we will pay you the first month's salary when you go back."

Looking at the paper figurine standing under the iron gate with crooked nose and eyes, Zhang Deng couldn't laugh or cry, and turned into the gate.

But when he turned it over, Zhang Deng felt that his eyes suddenly brightened, his eyes blurred, and he lost his focus.

He fell down, feeling warm and bright light everywhere, as if he had fallen into a dream.It didn't take long before he fell onto a pile of cherry blossom petals.

It was real cherry blossom petals. Zhang Deng got up from the pile of cherry blossoms and patted off the petals on his head.

It's spring here, and I don't feel the cold spring at all.Zhang Deng looked around and found that he was falling on the side of the teaching building full of cherry blossom trees. These cherry blossom petals were swept away and piled up in a pile.

There are many cherry blossom trees in the school, completely forming a cherry blossom forest.Zhang Deng had never seen so many continuous pink oceans, and couldn't help but stare blankly.

After a while, he walked towards the teaching building.After reading the materials before, he remembered that Zhao Yixun was in class [-] in the first grade of high school, and in class [-] in the second and third grades of high school.

She should be in this illusion, just tell her that all this is a dream and take her out.After searching two buildings, I finally found Zhao Yixun in Class 24 of Senior High School.

She cut her bangs neatly, tied her hair into a ponytail, and wore a school sports coat. She looked younger than she looked when she was lying on the bed.

Standing at the door, Zhang Deng was about to call out to her, but saw a familiar scene.The boy sitting in front of her was secretly passing a note to her. She picked it up, looked at it twice, couldn't help but smile, then wrote two or three words, and threw it back in the front seat.

As the two came and went, time seemed to slip out of the hourglass without knowing it, and a class ended quickly.

Standing at the door, Zhang Deng was awakened by the bell for the end of get out of class. Just as he was about to call Zhao Yixun, the bell rang for the end of class.

Less than ten seconds after class ended, class was already over.Zhang Deng felt unbelievable, but silently accepted this ridiculous setting.In a fantasy world, anything is possible.

He wanted to call Zhao Yixun three or two times but failed, so he wanted to go into the classroom and decided to forcefully pull her out.But there seemed to be a transparent wall at the door, blocking him out of the classroom.

"Zhou You? Can you hear me?" He asked, pulling the rope that was hidden in the air.

The other party just pulled the rope and didn't answer.It seems that she has no supernatural powers to convey the information back from such a long distance.Zhang Deng sighed, had no choice but to give up seeking help, and turned around to wait for the opportunity to approach Zhao Yixun.But the two of them were in class all the time, and they hardly came out when get out of class was over, so Zhang Deng had no chance to get close.

He leaned against the door frame and continued to watch the interaction between the two.

Zhao Yixun called the boy "Su Wen". Apart from passing notes, the two also liked to pat each other on the head when get out of class was over.The time in the illusion is chaotic. Classes will be over in a while, class will start in a while, go out for exercise again in a while, and lunch will be finished in a while.

Zhang Deng watched Su Wen bring snacks and breakfast to Zhao Yixun, and Zhao Yixun shyly sent him other food back.It seems that after a long time, the two have become more natural and close, and there is a tacit love when they communicate.

Once after class, a little boy stopped Zhao Yixun, handed her a love letter, and then ran away.As soon as Su Wen waited for the boy to leave, he immediately took the love letter from Zhao Yixun's hand and tore it up in front of her.

Standing in the distance, Zhang Deng couldn't get close, and suddenly missed his high school days.

At that time, the girl chasing him would also do the same, but the two of them were not together in the end.Seeing other people staged a bloody youth drama, he actually felt cute.

Zhao Yixun opened his eyes wide, watching Su Wen throw the fragments of the love letter into the trash can beside him.

"What are you doing?" She was not sure, so she could only murmur.

Su Wen sighed and smiled.

He put his broad hand on Zhao Yixun's shoulder, leaned over and said to her, "Don't you know?"

"What?" Zhao Yixun blinked and started to play dumb.

Su Wen saw it, and stretched out his hand to rub her hair: "Xun Xun... I beg you to stay by my side, okay?"

"I will send you to college, and I even want to send you to work. I dare not think about it after that, I just want to keep sending you."

Zhao Yixun had a smile in his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Su Wen was shy, and lowered his voice: "Can you...?"

The girl smiled and nodded.

※※※

This is a "puppy love" that parents and teachers don't want to meet.Because the grades of both of them have dropped, Zhang Deng even saw the scene where the teacher scolded the girls in front of the whole class in the corridor.People in love naturally think about their lover all the time, are often distracted, and always giggle.

They are too young, don't know restraint, and don't know how to endure.It's true that they are happy together, but after the third year of high school, the performance of the two of them made it impossible for them to laugh.

Gradually, Zhao Yixun began to get angry for no reason. At first, Su Wen thought she was in a bad mood and always coaxed her, but gradually he became impatient. As long as Zhao Yixun opened his mouth, he would turn around and read a book instead of going to school. ignore her.

First love always comes and goes without a trace, can be buried for a long time, but it always disappears shortly after breaking out.Soon Zhao Yixun found a reason and broke up with Su Wen.

Standing under the tree with arms folded, Zhang Deng thought in his heart that it was not right.The emotional drama between the two of them is too routine, it's not worth watching at all.According to the clues provided by Zhao's mother, Zhao Yixun went abroad to study after graduating from high school, and only recently returned to China.

It seems that this is just a youthful campus tragedy, but it is just looking back after many years, and the childish passing by back then.Zhang Deng shrugged his shoulders, feeling that his experience was somewhat richer. At least he had dated three boyfriends and girlfriends in high school, and one of them had a relationship.

After the college entrance examination, the scene on the campus has also changed. The cherry blossoms in the sky have been replaced by green leaves covering the sky.

The girl was wearing a suspender skirt, and went back to school with a notice to announce the good news to her head teacher.Her sandals made a "da da" sound on the floor tiles. Zhang Deng could hear it clearly from a distance, but he still couldn't call her out.

Then she saw Su Wen standing in the distance smoking a cigarette in the campus corridor.With a crew cut, he looked much more heroic, wearing a black T-shirt, and looking at her with a smile.

"You have to study obediently. I also passed the 985 exam." Su Wen extinguished the cigarette in his hand, "We will see you later."

He rubbed Zhao Yixun's head and walked towards the school gate.

A little regret appeared on Zhang Deng's face.It was clearly possible for these two people, but they didn't insist on it.This bitter and sweet relationship could have continued to grow, but the heavy atmosphere and pressure in high school made neither of them have the courage and patience.

What a pity.

Zhao Yixun stood where he was, and endured it for a long time, but tears still fell down.She turned her head and looked at Su Wen who was slowly walking towards the school gate, wanting to keep him.

"Go, silly girl!" Zhang Deng yelled even though he knew she couldn't hear her.

But this idea seemed to reach her heart through time and space.

Zhao Yixun really took a step forward and chased after Su Wen.Zhang Deng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, this time there will always be a better explanation, no matter what the ending is, Zhao Yixun will not regret it.

However, something even more bizarre happened before Zhang Deng's eyes.

※※※

With every step, Zhao Yixun's hair grew an inch, her little sandals turned into canvas shoes, and her suspender skirt began to grow longer and change color—it became a school uniform.

Su Wen's hair was also changing, and the short sleeves on his body also began to change color, gradually changing back to the blue school uniform jacket.

Zhang Deng couldn't believe it, and blinked his eyes hard, wondering what would happen next.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the scenery of the campus changed accordingly.The green leaves turned back to cherry blossoms, and the world turned into a sea of ​​pink again.

"Student, your test paper has dropped."

Zhao Yixun, who had caught up with Su Wen, took a breath and gave him the test paper in his hand.

Only then did Su Wen realize that he was missing something, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, it will be difficult for me to do the next class without the papers."

Zhao Yixun seemed to have discovered something, and asked strangely: "You... what is your next class?"

"Zou Su's mathematics." Su Wen showed her the paper. "It is said that his solid geometry is very interesting. I'm just waiting for his class."

Zhao Yixun took out the schedule, looked at it twice, and then smiled.

"That's a coincidence. I was also assigned to his class, Class [-]. We will be classmates from now on, why don't we get to know each other first?"

Su Wen looked at the smiling ponytail girl in front of him, and couldn't help showing a friendly smile.

"My name is Zhao Yixun. Is your name Su Wen? Welcome to the liberal arts class."

"To each other. I heard that you have a good history? Please give me more lectures in the future."

The two of you talked with each other, and then walked to the teaching building.

Nothing seemed wrong, it was just a scene where the two met.But Zhang Deng, who was an outsider, swallowed, and frowned.

In Zhao Yixun's illusion, time and space reincarnate.
