Flame red

The wound on the waist healed.

This did not happen after leaving Silent Hill for a long time, but when Yan Hong just walked out of the ancestral hall, Yan Hong stretched out her hand to touch her waist, and found that the wound had healed, leaving a moist blood stained red shirt.

When talking to Mu Xiangzhi like this, the other party looked at her suspiciously several times, and finally just shook his head with a frown.What exactly did the child see at the location of the spirit tablet at that time, the child did not tell Yan Hong, the two of them worked together to lead the unconscious Mu Yu out of the silent hill, and found an army green off-road vehicle parked by the side of the road.

"Cousin's father is here." Mu Xiangzhi suddenly said to Yan Hong.

"Hey?"

Three people got out of the car, one was a woman Mu Xiangzhi called her mother, and the other was a middle-aged man in a neat suit, probably Mu Yu's father.And the last one is Master Lu.

The moment Yan Hong saw Master Lu, she turned her head and ran away subconsciously, but because she and Mu Xiangzhi supported the unconscious Mu Yu, the last thought was only violently clashed in her mind several times, and she didn't put it into action in the end .

And obviously, Master Lu also showed a certain degree of surprise when he saw Yan Hong, and then frowned, his face was a little gloomy, probably because the incident at the hospital has not been explained yet.

Hu Li said that the inner alchemy of the snake demon was brought by the Lu family, so now that Yanhong sees Master Lu, she naturally has something in her heart that cannot be questioned openly, and the other party definitely wants to question herself. , in terms of psychological burden, maybe the two are even.

But seeing Master Lu getting out of the car with Mu Yu's father, Yanhong also really understood that the friendship between these two families might be much deeper than she imagined.

Barren mountains and wild forests are not so suitable for understanding what happened, so Mu Yu's father asked them all to get in the car and go back to the city to find a place to have a good chat.

But looking at a car, more than half of which were members of the Mu family, Yan Hong understood that the so-called good chat might be a unilateral accusation.

They didn't talk much along the way, at most, Mu Xiangzhi's mother asked her about what happened in the town, and they only talked a little superficially, and didn't talk about Mu Yu's sudden transformation into another person.

After returning to Wuzhi, it was already dark, and the clear winter night air seemed to be still like frost, eroding the few warmth in the palms of passers-by, and condensed into a tiny drop of frost at the end of the branches.

The most urgent thing is to send Mu Yu to the hospital for examination first, and they were all relieved when they learned that apart from being hit by Yan Hong on the forehead and leaving a bruise, there was nothing serious about that man, it was just that he was too tired and fell asleep .Afterwards, Mu Xiangzhi's mother stayed in the ward to wait, and the other four got into the army green off-road vehicle again, found a high-end restaurant and opened a private room directly to chat.

Originally, Yanhong didn't eat much all day, but now Mu Yu's father ordered a lot of delicacies that could not be named, but she felt her stomach was overwhelmed.

"Let's just let go of the chat today. Tell me what you know and what you want to know." The middle-aged man's tone was decisive and low, making it hard to resist.

But even so clearly, in the first 2 minutes, no one was willing to speak first.

In the 3rd minute, Yanhong just finished drinking a glass of boiled water, Mu Xiangzhi hesitated for a while before giving up the silence, and added little by little what happened in the ancestral hall, including Mu Yu's transformation and the words of the monster.

Master Lu seemed to have already learned about the snake demon Neidan from Mu Yu's family, and was not very surprised by what Mu Xiangzhi said, and kept looking down at the sea cucumber soup in front of him.

Mu Yu's father, on the other hand, listened carefully to Mu Xiangzhi's story, and then his eyes fell directly on Yan Hong. "So Mu Yu went there because of you?"

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed true.Yan Hong also had no way to refute, so she could only nod her head. "Um."

"Why are you by her side?"

"..." Of course it was because of the snake lady.But Yanhong didn't know whether she should speak out or not.She was silent for a long time like a fugue, ignoring the gazes of the three people in the private room.

After asking no results, Mu Yu's father could only take a sip of tea and changed the question again. "Do you want to know about Mu Yu?"

Yanhong blinked, but did not answer.Just shook his head.

Her reaction was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. The middle-aged man frowned and let out a sigh. "You don't want to know?"

Yan Hong shook her head.

She doesn't need to know anything else.Because the reactions and intermittent words of the monsters have already told Yanhong how to deal with this matter.

Yan Hong thought it was a bit funny, people were hiding in front of her, but they got the direction they were going to go from the mouths of monsters.

She told Mu Yu's father: "I don't want to know any more."

"is it?"

Master Lu snorted softly and cut into the topic. "This shouldn't be something you need to know. You are not an exorcist, nor a monster. You can't compete with things that don't belong to your world."

Yes, he was right.

Yan Hong nodded mechanically.

The middle-aged man hmm, seemed relieved, and leaned on the chair carelessly. "We've had your eye on you from the beginning."

"That's it."

"Because my daughter would choose to rely more on a child of unknown origin, which makes people feel incredible." He explained in this way, but his tone was a little sharp and severe. "We just want to know who you are?"

"Me?" Yan Hong raised her eyebrows, tilting her head, ignoring how sharp the eyes of the person in front of her were. "I'm just a high school student who lives across from the market."

"However, you may be dangerous to Mu Yu."

"Hey?"

"Of course I don't just refer to the danger of monsters." Mu Yu's father further explained.

But his more and more in-depth explanation reminded Yanhong again that in the ancestral hall, that monster asked Mu Yu, if he could kneel, how important would it be for the person he was for?

What was that man still talking about, even if Yan Hong didn't listen, she could guess what he meant, it was nothing more than that if Mu Xiangzhi wasn't around, the two of them would probably have encountered an accident.Mu Yu has never single-handedly gone to an unknown and dangerous place for anyone. Yanhong is obviously a very threatening accident. If it is used as a blackmail by a shrewd enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

And more importantly, she didn't know how to exorcise demons, nor did she know any techniques to avoid danger.

You are not an exorcist.

Mu Yu's father emphasized.Not being an exorcist but participating in a drama that only an exorcist can handle will only add to the chaos.

Master Lu added: "You will be used, and one day you will be used to harm Mu Yu."

It's like hurting him.

Yes, what Master Lu said was very correct, Yan Hong nodded affirmatively, without even making any struggles.Such an appearance of Anshun surprised everyone present.

But precisely because of her Anshun and non-resistance, Mu Yu's father and Master Lu's full of accusations and plans fell into a bottomless pit, and they could only fail without a response.

Sighing, rather than expressing helplessness, it was more like some kind of venting anger, Mu Yu's father finally drank all the soup in the bowl, and said to Yan Hong seriously: "I plan to take that girl home and let a professional exorcist The devil came to take care of him, as a public figure, he couldn't just run around."

Yan Hong nodded innocently. "Okay." She answered without any hesitation, making Master Lu and Mu Xiangzhi look at her in surprise for a few seconds.

"However, I still have to thank you for taking care of her these days." Mu Yu's father said again. "Please quote a price, and I will pay you."

"Huh?" Yan Hong opened her mouth subconsciously, she was supposed to say no need, but when she looked back at the man in the suit in front of her, she suddenly said something. "Twenty-five thousand."

Everyone present was stunned, Yanhong didn't know whether they were surprised because of the amount she gave or because they really had the courage to quote the price.

But Mu Yu's father quickly realized and nodded. "I'll give you [-]. I'll go back and have some good meals."

Yan Hong shook her head. "Twenty-five thousand is enough, and there is no end to it."

In the end, Mu Yu's father still gave Yanhong 3 yuan, the reason being that there was exactly [-] yuan in the house and it was not easy to separate.Later, Yan Hong could only walk out of the high-end restaurant with that passport, hesitated for a while on the side of the street, reached into her pocket but couldn't find the phone, only then remembered that the phone seemed to be left somewhere today.

Just as I was about to go to a nearby ATM to get some change and take a taxi home, I heard footsteps behind me.Yan Hong turned her head and found that it was Master Lu.

Master Lu was thinner than when we first met, with prominent cheekbones and deeper eyes, Yanhong felt that this person was either too tired after that, or had a serious illness at that time.

He looked at Yan Hong with undisguised vigilance, it seemed that what happened in the hospital made Master Lu realize that the girl in front of him was extremely dangerous, and she was definitely not as harmless as she appeared on the surface.

"Why are you still by Mu Yu's side?" Master Lu questioned as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Why?" Yan Hong was confused for a moment, and then realized that what he was referring to was not acting like a trustworthy person.Also, no one will simply think that person can trust wholeheartedly after being hurt.She sighed in her heart, and based on the principle of being polite, she decided to apologize first. "Sorry, I was possessed at the time."

"I know." Master Lu nodded. "But do you know that according to us exorcists, who is more dangerous than the Hanba ghost?"

Yan Hong shook her head.

"A person who possesses spiritual power but is extremely easy to be possessed."

"like me?"

"Like you." The man nodded. "The exorcist cannot do anything to ordinary people, no matter whether he is possessed or not. So many monsters will use the method of possessing ordinary people to take revenge on us."

"But this matter..." Yan Hong wanted to say that she couldn't blame me, it was you who called me in at that time.But in the middle of the speech, he felt that he had hurt others after all, and this sentence was too arrogant, so it turned into a sigh.

Master Lu said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"what?"

"You can't stay by Mu Yu's side. If a monster uses the method of possessing her to get close to her, I can't retreat." Master Lu explained seriously.

Yan Hong looked at him for a long time, several cars whized past her back and forth, pedestrians hurried on the road, and the New Year's song was switched back and forth between the audio-visual store and the shopping mall, like a quarrel.She suddenly had an inexplicable thought that this year she might have to celebrate the New Year by herself.

"Have you found a way to get rid of it?" Yan Hong asked.

Master Lu nodded. "Going home and looking through the materials from that year, I learned how to deal with such a situation."

"how to do?"

"This is not within the scope of what you should understand?"

That's right, seeing that Master Lu didn't want to tell her, Yanhong simply nodded. "I get it, anyway, as long as I don't get close to Mu Yu, right?"

"Yes."

"En, okay." Yanhong repeated. "I won't go near her."

Master Lu got the answer he wanted, and he didn't make any further troubles. He turned around and followed the people coming and going, gradually disappearing at the corner of the street in the night.Yan Hong stood there for a few seconds, remembering that she still had to withdraw money and take a taxi home, so she walked unsteadily to a convenience store not far away, and touched the spot on her waist where there should have been a wound .

Hard and smooth as scales, it feels like cold glass to the touch.

Yan Hong remembered that the monster's tail also felt like glass.
