Phaseless Demon

He Qianjue didn't wait long, because Zhuo Mingyu came to He Qianjue's mirror again by himself before dawn the next day.

He must have been mentally prepared when he came, because Zhuo Mingyu had a determined and determined expression on his face.

Because they had to keep vigil for their daughter who was hospitalized, the couple did not leave the hospital all night. Zhuo Mingyu even stayed up all night, with deep and heavy dark circles under his eyes. When he came to the grooming mirror in the hall, he reached out and knocked on the mirror, and then put his palm on the cold mirror.

After a while, Zhuo Mingyu felt a lightness in his body, just like the haze and daze that occurred when he was asleep. After losing consciousness for a short time, Zhuo Mingyu entered another world.

In the mirror space, He Qianjue was sitting on a leisure bench in the hospital. He was wearing an ancient wide-sleeved robe, which was so long that it even hung on the ground. He was lazily leaning on the chair. Sleeping, the youngest daughter curled up into a ball, using He Qianjue's thigh as a pillow, and looking closely, the saliva seemed to have wet He Qianjue's pants.

He Qianjue is more doting on children. He has an inexplicable affection for these bunches of small creatures, so he also pampers Zhuo Qianqian very much. His pampering allows Zhuo Qianqian to act recklessly, rolling around on He Qianjue's body and acting coquettishly for a long time. down.

Zhuo Qianqian was young and didn't have a particularly strong sense of crisis. She didn't notice that her body was gradually becoming transparent, and she didn't realize that she was slowly forgetting something. He Qianjue coaxed a few words, and wandered around He Qianjue happily, and He Qianjue cast some small spells on her, and the child soon fell asleep again.

Sleeping would be good for her too, it would allow her astral body to store energy so she wouldn't disappear so quickly.

Seeing his daughter sleeping so soundly in He Qianjue's arms, Zhuo Mingyu felt a little worried, but soon, He Qianjue drew his attention away.

He Qianjue said, "I know you will come back, sir."

Zhuo Mingyu took a deep breath and replied after a long while: "I'm ready."

Zhuo Mingyu was indeed ready. Before coming to see He Qianjue, he and his wife had a lot of conversations. They chatted almost all night in the ward, but the main content of the chat was not about their daughter. They just chatted about the past. During the period of love, places visited, scenery seen, people met, each other's mood, each other's wishes...these were all talked about, but the daughter was not mentioned.

They had a tacit understanding and chose to avoid talking about it.

But it's very strange... Even if they don't say anything, they can still understand each other's mind. This is probably the privilege of husband and wife.

"I will give everything for my wife and children." When Zhuo Mingyu said this, his tone did not fluctuate much. He said it calmly and firmly.

"Even if it's your life?" He Qianjue smiled at him.

Zhuo Mingyu said: "Even if it's my life."

"I understand." He Qianjue said, "Then I'll tell you what to do."

What He Qianjue asked Zhuo Mingyu to do was very simple and divided into several steps.The first step is to call the police at the police station and tell the police that your daughter has been attacked by a suspected murderer.

Zhuo Mingyu was puzzled by the first step He Qianjue said: "But Qianqian was not attacked...Of course we did meet the murderer, but I stopped him before he could strike... ..."

"I told you to lie." He Qianjue emphasized this point. He took off his coat and put it on Zhuo Qianqian's body, then got off the chair, walked to Zhuo Mingyu's side, and continued, "You lied to the police that your daughter saw a weird guy in a clown costume in the Hezepo Amusement Park, killed and dragged a child in the corner, your daughter witnessed all this, and was found by the murderer So the killer is now trying to attack her to eliminate witnesses."

He Qianjue said: "Just tell the police that you need them to protect your daughter."

"Is this... is it really okay to say this?" Although Zhuo Mingyu had already made up his mind, he was still a little scared. He was an ordinary person after all, and he lied to the police about things like this...

He Qianjue said: "You have to do this, because we don't even know who the murderer is or where it is. The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and there is a vast sea of ​​people. It is extremely difficult to find a murderer from the inside, so we need to find the murderer. If so, we still have to rely on the officers and soldiers.”

He Qianjue paused, and then said: "As long as you tell the police like this, even if you can't produce any evidence, the police will think of the recent serial disappearances of children, and they will take you and your daughter as clues, and they will come to you Come, and try to interrogate your daughter and make her tell 'everything' she has witnessed... Of course, now your daughter is just a shell possessed by a monster."

"Will the monster cooperate obediently?" Zhuo Mingyu thought of this.

He Qianjue was confident: "It will cooperate, and it will cooperate even more than we imagined. Maybe it will tell the police about the murderer's many characteristics and killing methods."

"Why are you so sure?" Zhuo Mingyu was puzzled.

He Qianjue said: "Have you forgotten? That shadow ghost has a deep hatred for the murderer, and it wants revenge, no matter what method it uses. It knows that it is weak and the power of the police will be its help, so no matter what , even if it knew it might be a trap, it would jump in."

"We don't know where the murderer is, so we asked the police to help us find it. We also don't know who the murderer is, so we asked Shadow Ghost to correct me. Shadow Ghost has the pre-death memories of many victims, and it must know a lot of clues. "

"What about after finding the murderer?" Zhuo Mingyu became inexplicably nervous.

He Qianjue glanced at him, and Zhuo Mingyu's heart skipped a beat when he glanced at him like this.Zhuo Mingyu discovered that He Qianjue's eyes were a kind of red, dark red, closer to black, usually not conspicuous, but when illuminated by light, the reflection of the iris made He Qianjue's eyes look blood red , this blood-red color made his eyesight stained with something like killing intent, and when he noticed it, it would make people feel horrified.

This also made Zhuo Mingyu realize for the first time that He Qianjue standing in front of him was indeed a monster like the shadow ghost possessing his daughter.

Will a monster really help him sincerely?

At the same time that Zhuo Mingyu had such doubts deep in his heart, He Qianjue raised his voice to attract Zhuo Mingyu's distracted attention again, He Qianjue said: "Then we will proceed to the second step."

"The second step?"

"After the police investigate your daughter...or the shadow ghost, they will definitely know that the serial child disappearances they were concerned about are actually serial homicides, but they may not make this public, because it is easy to cause The panic of the masses will also bring influence and pressure to the parents who lost their children, they will please suppress this matter and carry out private arrests and investigations."

"And what we have to do is to spread this matter, let everyone know that this serial disappearance is actually a murder case, and let everyone know that your daughter is a witness who witnessed the murder and is being pursued by the murderer." kill."

Zhuo Mingyu couldn't believe it: "Why did you do this!? If the murderer knew that there were witnesses, he would definitely come to kill and silence her. Isn't this blatant... Did it really attract the murderer to attack my daughter?"

Speaking of this, Zhuo Mingyu suddenly realized: "...By the way, could it be possible, did you intentionally let that murderer come and attack my daughter?"

"If you don't do this, how can you drive the shadow ghost out?" He Qianjue said, "The murderer's attack will make the shadow ghost uneasy, because it will be afraid of the murderer, and instinctively want to escape. The shadow ghost in a state of fear will attack Zhuo Qianqian's body. The ability to control it will weaken, this time is the best time, the only time to drive it out of Zhuo Qianqian's body."

"But it's too dangerous!" Zhuo Mingyu felt that this method was not very good, "Even if we managed to drive it out, the later murderer might kill Qianqian!"

"That's why I need you." He Qianjue said, "You have to protect your daughter's body, bear the damage for her, and at the same time find a way to lure the shadow ghost to my mirror, as long as the shadow ghost touches this mirror, I will have a way to pull the shadow ghost out of your daughter's body."

Zhuo Mingyu said, "As long as the shadow ghost touches this mirror... So even if we don't find the murderer, if we find some other way to make the shadow ghost touch the mirror..."

"It's useless." He Qianjue shook his head: "Although shadow ghosts are weak, they are monsters after all, and their minds will be stronger than your ordinary people. I can pull the souls of you ordinary people into this mirror space at will, but the souls of monsters can It's not so easy to get tricked, so I have to let the murderer scare it, make the monster fearful and disturbed, so that I have a chance."

Maybe seeing that there was really no other way, Zhuo Mingyu scratched his head hard, feeling difficult: "So I have to do this? I can only do this..."

"Time is running out." He Qianjue said solemnly, "Your daughter still has six days, and you have six days to do these things. If you exceed this time limit, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing what He Qianjue said, Zhuo Mingyu had no choice but to brace himself. He had already made up his mind to give everything for his daughter. He couldn't just back down after hearing these things, but he was going to act on these plans. Before, he had a question to ask He Qianjue.

"I want to know why you want to help me like this." Zhuo Mingyu asked, "Or do you want to get something from me?"

He Qianjue shook his head: "There is nothing I want in you."

"Why then?"

"What I want is that monster... that shadow ghost." He Qianjue said bluntly, "I'm trapped in this mirror and I can't get out. If I want to get out, I have to break the seal of this mirror." .”

"However, the level of this seal is too high, and with my current ability, I can't affect it in the slightest, so I want to practice to raise my level... The problem is, there is no aura in this mirror for me to practice, so, I can only get spiritual energy from others with the help of external objects."
